Two days later.
Located in the most luxurious area in the center of Heaven Dou City.
There was a massive circular building, approximately five hundred meters in diameter and eighty meters tall.
The people entering and leaving this place were either grand figures dressed in magnificent clothes, wealthy and noble.
Or they were Soul Masters emitting powerful auras.
Without exception, however, these people shared a common trait.
That was wearing a mask to conceal their appearance.
This place was precisely the highest trading center of the Tiandou Empire—the Heaven Dou Auction House.
Countless wealth, power, and desire all converged here.
The daily turnover of the auction reached the level of 'terrifying wealth'.
Wearing a mask to hide one's appearance was also a unique rule here.
Firstly, it was to protect the privacy of the guests.
To prevent guests from being targeted, intercepted, and robbed after successfully bidding on good items.
Secondly, it was to guarantee the fairness of the auction items.
After all, anyone who could enter the Heaven Dou Auction House had some status.
But status was also divided into high and low.
In case someone was bidding happily and then encountered someone of higher status than themselves.
They might wither and not dare to continue bidding.
In that case, the loss would be the Heaven Dou Auction House's.
Inside the auction house.
Inside the VVVIP private box.
Golden Crown ate imported grapes peeled by Qian Renxue.
While looking toward the auction that was about to begin.
He saw that the auction seats were completely full.
Various tycoons, royal dignitaries, and people from Sect forces were all gathered here.
However, the ones who truly caught Golden Crown's attention were Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who were sitting in the first row.
That was the highest VIP area.
One could clearly view every single auction item from there.
At the same time, those sitting here could also receive a list of today's auction items in advance.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the Upper Three Sects.
They were immensely powerful and wealthy enough to rival nations.
Naturally, they were arranged to be seated there.
And those sitting beside him were no small characters either.
For example, Prince Xue Xing.
However, their main goal for coming this time was the one thousand revolver handguns to be auctioned today.
"Xiao Mian, your guess was really spot on."
"I told Ning Fengzhi exactly what you said, and after giving him a demonstration..."
"The other party actually agreed to attend this auction without any hesitation."
"And because of this information."
"Ning Fengzhi's attitude toward me lately has been much closer than before."
Golden Crown gave a faint smile. "Of course. Don't forget that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile is a support-type Martial Soul."
"They are very lacking in offensive means."
"Although there are two Titled Douluo stationed within the Sect."
"If by any chance both of these Titled Douluo are absent, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be like lambs to the slaughter."
"Ning Fengzhi is no fool; the man is extremely shrewd."
"After seeing the power of the revolver handgun you demonstrated, he must understand its importance to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"So this time, no matter what, they will buy a batch of revolver handguns to take back."
"Of course, besides that, there's another reason."
"That is, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is simply too rich."
Qian Renxue's expression froze as she asked, "Is there a problem with being too rich?"
Golden Crown explained, "You don't understand. Rich people generally lack a sense of security."
"No matter how good Chen Xin and Gu Rong's relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is."
"In the end, they are still outsiders."
"Only when power is completely held in one's own hands is there a true sense of security."
"By the way, didn't you say the Old Emperor entrusted the task of purchasing weapons to you?"
"Then why did he send Prince Xue Xing as well? Could it be that Xue Ye doesn't trust you?"
Qian Renxue shook her head. "No, the Old Emperor arranged for Xue Xing to do something else."
Golden Crown couldn't help but be curious. "What is it?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
Qian Renxue didn't say it directly.
As the two were talking, the Heaven Dou Auction officially began.
The host walked onto the stage.
With a face full of smiles, he began his speech.
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Heaven Dou Auction!"
"Your presence truly makes our auction house feel radiant!"
"Knowing that everyone's time is precious, I won't waste any more words."
"Let's start today's auction directly!"
"Today, the Heaven Dou Auction House will auction a total of twelve items!"
"Next up is the first item of the session!"
The voice fell.
Staff members pushed a cart out from the backstage.
On the cart was a huge iron cage.
It was covered with a cloth.
As the host pulled the cloth away, two Cat Girls dressed sexily with hot figures, cat ears, and cat tails were revealed to everyone.
"These are two Cat Girl sisters that our auction house spent a great deal of effort..."
"Finding and training!"
"Starting price is ten thousand gold coins! Each bid must be no less than two thousand gold coins!"
Just as the host finished speaking.
Prince Xue Xing was the first to raise his sign. "Twenty thousand gold coins!"
Inside the box, Golden Crown saw this scene.
He instantly understood what was going on.
No wonder Little Xue didn't say why Xue Xing came here.
It turned out the Old Emperor wanted to play with something new, but due to his status, it wasn't convenient for him to say it out loud.
So he let Xue Xing find them on his behalf.
After it was done, they would be sent to the palace.
I have to say, this Old Emperor really knows how to have a wild time.
Others, looking at the tempting figures of the two Cat Girls, naturally wouldn't easily let such beauties go.
They also began to increase the bids one after another.
"I bid thirty thousand gold coins!"
"Forty thousand gold coins!"
"I bid fifty thousand gold coins!"
"I bid..."
Seeing so many people bidding, Prince Xue Xing stood up directly and shouted, "I bid one hundred thousand gold coins!"
This price instantly discouraged many people.
Of course, many of them were shills specifically hired by the Heaven Dou Auction House.
The purpose was to raise the price to make more money.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"One hundred thousand gold coins once!"
"One hundred thousand gold coins twice!"
"Are there any more bids?"
The host asked the crowd below.
This price had actually exceeded the expectations of the Heaven Dou Auction House.
The price they had guessed was actually eighty thousand.
As soon as the price of one hundred thousand gold coins came out, the people below were instantly silenced.
Although these two Cat Girl sisters were indeed very tempting.
No matter how tempting they were, they weren't worth one hundred thousand gold coins.
With that kind of money, they might as well go look at something else.
As for Ning Fengzhi, he didn't make a sound to bid.
Because the money he brought this time had to be focused on the revolver handguns.
Seeing no more bids, the host announced, "One hundred thousand gold coins for the third time, sold!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining these two Cat Girls!"
Prince Xue Xing rubbed his hands with a face full of smiles.
To be honest.
If it weren't because they were to be given to the Emperor.
He really wanted to try what it felt like to be served by these Cat Girl sisters together.
"Men, take these two Cat Girls down first."
Following the auctioning of the Cat Girls to Prince Xue Xing.
The second auction item also arrived one after another...
