Douluo: Traveling through Huo Yuhao, I am really not a succubus

Chapter 218 It’s not what you think

With a hint of doubt in her eyes, Ma Xiaotao still followed.

Walking into Ma Xiaotao's room and closing the door, Huo Yuhao raised his head and met Ma Xiaotao's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong the other day."

In the past two days, Huo Yuhao has actually reflected on himself. As a man and Ma Xiaotao's boyfriend, he should take the initiative to take responsibility.

He knew that Ma Xiaotao must feel bad seeing him talking to Ling Luochen, so he had to consider her feelings no matter what.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao admitted his mistake very frankly.

Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, "Are you really Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao's face turned dark. "What do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't change my mind? Sister Xiaotao, I sometimes act according to my own ideas, but you are different."

"You are my little sister Tao. In my heart, everything about you is more important than me."

"Really?" Ma Xiaotao's pretty face lit up with joy, but she soon felt that she seemed to change her expression too quickly. She coughed lightly and regained her composure, "Hmph, then I will reluctantly forgive you. I don't care about the things between you and Ling Luochen anymore, but don't accuse me of restricting your personal affairs."

"Actually, there's nothing going on between Senior Ling and me. She just came to me because she needed something, and she happened to have something I needed."

"Why does it sound weird?"

"It's not what you think."

Huo Yuhao was speechless for a while. Sister Xiaotao’s imagination was really weird sometimes, and it always connected to some things.

"No way!"

Ma Xiaotao would never admit it even if she died.

At the same time Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao returned to normal.

Wang Yan was still thinking about the strategy for the next game when suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

Wang Yan frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell the service staff not to disturb us?"

A pleasant female voice came from outside the door, "Sorry to bother you, I'm not a service staff, I'm from Starlight Auction House."

Starlight Auction House? Wang Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar voice. Beibei, who was closest to the door, had already stood up and gave Wang Yan a questioning look. After seeing Wang Yan nod in the affirmative, he walked over and opened the door.

A woman in a black dress was standing outside the door. She looked to be around 28 or 29 years old, which was the age when a woman should have a mature charm yet still have a youthful air.

Everyone in the reserve team knew this man. He was the auctioneer, Qingya, who had attended the auction that day.

Qingya's eyes found Wang Yan directly, and she smiled slightly, saluted Wang Yan and said, "Hello, Teacher Wang. I am sorry to bother you all."

Wang Yan's eyes seemed to soften when he saw it was him. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? Auctioneer Qingya? Also, how did you find this place?"

"It's like this. We are holding a top-level auction tonight at the Starlight Auction House. Auctions of this level are usually only held once or twice a year, and only the most distinguished guests are invited by us. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend this auction. I believe there will be something that you are interested in at today's auction."

"In addition, our boss specifically asked Mr. Huo Yuhao to be present." Yuhao?
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that Huo Yuhao’s fame had become so popular that even the owner of a top auction house was interested in him?

A special invitation? Do you want to get to know him?

Wang Yan nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Qingya smiled softly, took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table, then bowed again with a smile on her face and said, "I won't bother you any more. Sorry again."

As she spoke, she slowly backed away, walked out of the room, and then closed the door.

Looking at the stack of exquisite gold-stamped invitations, Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Fifteen invitations, not one is missing for everyone, and they were able to ignore the official blockade of the hotel by the Xing Luo Empire and send the invitations here. What a generous act!"

Wang Yan looked around at all the students, including the regular team members, and saw interest in almost everyone's eyes.

This kind of top-level auction is not comparable to the one that the reserve team participated in. Even Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Xixi and others are very interested.

"Okay. Everyone has been participating in the competition, so it's time to relax. However, watch more and talk less, and avoid all troubles as much as possible. Tomorrow's competition is very important and cannot be affected in any way. Return to the hotel and rest immediately after the auction." Wang Yan said with a smile.

"I'll go tell Yuhao and Sister Xiaotao about this." Yao Haoxuan ran out directly.

Not long after, he came back with Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao.

"A top auction? And the owner of Starlight Auction House specifically asked me to be there?"

Picking up an invitation, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Just as Wang Yan said, the boss behind the Starlight Auction House who was able to enter and exit the Star Emperor Hotel freely without paying attention to the blockade of the Star Luo royal family should most likely have some relationship with the royal family.

The background is not small.
"Yuhao, aren't you going?" Seeing Huo Yuhao not saying a word, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. “I will go, but I’m more interested in the boss behind the scenes than the content of this auction. Forget it. Since he mentioned my name, I should be able to meet him.”

In the following time, Wang Yan simply arranged the tactics and let everyone go back to their rooms to rest and practice.

It was not until after dinner that everyone changed into ordinary clothes and, holding the invitation to the Starlight Auction House, a group of fifteen people, led by Wang Yan, came to the Starlight Auction House again.

The elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. She was wearing a black dress, which made her look noble and elegant under the night light, and her pretty face was full of tenderness.

She bowed gently to everyone, then walked lightly to Huo Yuhao's front. A hint of curiosity appeared on her pretty face. "You are Mr. Huo Yuhao, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. His appearance was probably well-known throughout the entire Xingluo City. In addition, they had only met briefly last time, so it was not a strange thing for someone to recognize him as Huo Yuhao.

"As expected, everyone in Xingluo City is now saying that contestant Huo Yuhao was unparalleled in the competition, and his appearance was even more stunning. I didn't recognize you last time, so please don't blame Qingya, Mr. Huo."

Qingya is able to be an auctioneer at Starlight Auction House, so there must be nothing wrong with her words and actions.

“You’re too kind. I’m just an ordinary person, not some distinguished figure.” Huo Yuhao smiled. “By the way, I heard that your boss specifically asked me to come over. Should I come and meet him?”

"The boss said that we will meet, but before that, please enjoy your time tonight." Qingya smiled and said to everyone, "Dear guests, please follow me."

After she finished speaking, she walked in front gracefully.

The auction hall was the same as that day, and there was no publicity for today's top auction. Led by Qingya, they walked straight inside and soon passed the venue where they participated in the last auction.

Walking to the end, two girls in golden dresses came up to them. They bowed slightly to everyone and had a brief conversation with Qingya. Then one of the girls turned to the wall, raised her right hand and pressed it. Suddenly, a strange scene appeared. Water-wave-like light patterns appeared on the wall, and then layers of light gradually stabilized.

The girl placed her palm on it. A horizontal streak of light swept from top to bottom. Then, with a humming sound, the wall slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage.

It is different from the splendor outside. This channel is pure white. It's not cold white, but a special feeling full of soft texture.

Whether it is the floor, top or walls, they are all paved with a translucent white jade. There are faint dark lines under the jade. But I can't see clearly what the pattern of the dark pattern is. But compared with the passage outside, it is obviously improved.

Soft white light shines from up, down, left and right at the same time, and there are lines formed by light blue halos on both sides of the roof.

Qingya explained softly, "This is Auction Room No. 1 where we hold top-level auctions. Only the most distinguished guests are invited to enter and bid here. I am also honored by all the distinguished guests today. Otherwise, with my level of auctioneer, I would not be qualified to enter here."

Wang Yan said calmly, "Look at Auctioneer Qingya's clothes, it seems that she has upgraded!"

Qingya smiled and said, "I also have to thank you all, especially Mr. Huo. It was because of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife that I was able to accumulate enough performance to be promoted to a black-level auctioneer. Please come in."

As she spoke, she walked slowly in front to lead the way. At this time, two girls wearing golden long skirts and looking only eighteen or nineteen years old came forward.

Not far inside, small doors began to appear on both sides.

Qingya finally led them into Gate No. 7.

"The girls in this auction house are of very high quality!" Xu Sanshi came up to Yao Haoxuan and Beibei and whispered.

Yao Haoxuan nodded. "Indeed, she is taller. I have seen beautiful girls before, but compared with the girls here, she is still inferior. Especially in terms of temperament."

"Many of the girls here were adopted by the auction house when they were very young. They have practiced various etiquette and rules for ten years, so they naturally have this kind of temperament." Beibei smiled, "However, no matter how beautiful they are, they are just rouge and powder to me."

"Yes, yes, your Xiaoya is the best." Xu Sanshi said sarcastically, but soon changed the subject, "But in this case, you and your child bride."

Beibei's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was calm, "Sister Lexuan and I are just ordinary siblings."

Not far ahead, Huo Yuhao's footsteps suddenly paused slightly, but he quickly recovered.

Is Zhang Lexuan Beibei’s child bride?

This was the first time he heard of it.

But it seems that Beibei has no such thoughts about Zhang Lexuan at all.

Xu Sanshi felt a little regretful after saying this, not because of Beibei, but because of Huo Yuhao.

When I was drinking with Huo Yuhao before, Huo Yuhao once said that the most perfect goddess in his heart was Zhang Lexuan.

Although there are many girls around Huo Yuhao now, the most special one in his heart is still Zhang Lexuan.

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi sighed secretly.

This relationship is really messy.

When everyone walked into the room, pairs of eyes began to look around the room.

This is a room of about two hundred square meters. The interior decoration is extremely luxurious. Precious wood, jade, and various decorations that are obviously expensive at first sight. The decoration here is full of luxury, but it also has a strange feeling that you have to praise it for being elegant.

Room No. 7 of the No. 1 auction room of the Starlight Auction House is decorated with extremely luxurious decoration.

The entire room is rectangular, with one wall on the long side being crystal clear and white. Only that wall had no decoration.

The large sofa is made of unknown animal skin, and the long white hair is extremely soft. When people sit on it, they feel comfortable and have good support.

The sofa was large enough to accommodate at least 20 people. On the jade table, there were various drinks, liquors, and food. Huo Yuhao discovered that the various fruits alone were quite rare outside and very expensive.

Everyone sat on the comfortable sofas. Auctioneer Qingya and two girls in golden dresses stayed. Qingya stood beside the sofa and smiled, "I will explain the rules of our top auction to all the distinguished guests."

As she spoke, she gestured to the two girls in golden dresses.

One of the girls walked up to the smooth wall and pressed it gently. Suddenly, a soft halo of light shone on the entire wall. The light gradually became stronger. The wall gradually turned into a huge screen.

Huo Yuhao was stunned. What the hell is this, holographic projection?
A soul guide?

"This is a light-guided screen that our auction house specially customized in the Sun-Moon Empire. It can transmit images in a special way. Its core magic array is not driven by soul power, but comes from a kind of mineral from the Sun-Moon Empire." Qingya hurriedly explained, as if she saw that everyone was curious.

When these words were spoken, all the Shrek students, including Huo Yuhao, were shocked.

What does it mean to use ore to activate the soul guide? This means that the soul master can use the soul guide without outputting soul power! This is of great significance to the world of soul guides.

Qingya was good at observing people's expressions and could naturally see the shock in everyone's eyes. She quickly explained with a smile, "Dear guests, don't worry. Just listen to me. Although this light-guiding screen is powered by ore, the energy emitted by that ore is very soft and weak. It cannot drive attack or defense soul guides. It can only do things that very weak soul guides can do."

"Ms. Qingya, you are wrong."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. “You also said that it was just this type of ore. But what if it was other ores? Or... fuse two or more ores with different properties together... Think about what would happen.”

Qingya's pretty face was startled for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"He thinks very quickly, and it seems possible to do this?"

However, this matter has nothing to do with her as an auctioneer.

On the contrary, He Caitou's eyes lit up after hearing Huo Yuhao's words, "Then in this case, doesn't it mean that ordinary people can have the power to attack or even kill spirit masters?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "The reason why soul guides, especially those with lethal power, can only be used by soul masters is because they all require soul power to activate. And this kind of power is only possessed by soul masters."

"But if ordinary people also have the power to kill soul masters, what will this world become?"

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao smiled strangely. "Will it become more peaceful and stable because everyone has the ability to protect themselves, or will their true nature be exposed after they gain power?"

After all, human beings are creatures that always have selfishness hidden deep in their hearts.

me too.

Huo Yuhao added silently in his heart.
