Chapter 128: The Girl's Humility (Additional)
Night time.

A woman in black gauze stood outside the Starlight Auction House. She was about 28 or 29 years old, with a mature charm but still youthful. At this moment, the woman seemed to be looking at something.

Suddenly, the woman came towards the group with a warm look on her face.

"Excuse me, are you from Shrek Academy?"

"Yeah." An Zhen nodded gently.

Suddenly, An Zhen looked up at the sky. A gray breath quietly penetrated into An Zhen's mind. Electrolux's voice rang in An Zhen's mind, "Your grandfather is fine. Xuanzi and Moon will be here in a minute. We met Moon in the Demon Forest. Xuanzi told Moon all the news. Moon didn't say anything and rushed here with Xuanzi."

"Thank you for your help, teacher."

"Welcome all distinguished guests." The black-veiled woman looked at the people in front of her, her eyes immediately fell on the target that the boss had instructed her to meet, with a gentle smile on her face, "I am Qingya, the black-level auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House. Auctioneer Jiujiu is unable to receive you due to work reasons, so he asked me to wait here."

"Thank you, Miss Qingya, for leading the way." An Zhen looked straight ahead. An Zhen was a gentleman, and this was definitely not because of the few glances from behind.

Qingya led the way. The auction hall, which was elegantly decorated but luxurious, looked empty. This auction had never been publicized. Under Qingya's leadership, after passing through a door that looked very high-tech and futuristic, everyone arrived at the No. 1 auction hall and entered a 200-square-meter room decorated with gold, silver, spices, jade, and other luxurious items.

An Zhen held Wang Dong'er and sat on the sofa.

Qingya and two beautiful girls in golden skirts stood in the middle of the room. When they saw several beautiful girls who were much better looking than them and each had their own unique qualities sitting next to the young man named by the boss, they suddenly felt that they were a little redundant.

Qingya smiled gently and enthusiastically, and said, "Let me introduce some things about our top auction house to you."

One of the girls in the golden skirt walked to the smooth wall behind them and pressed it lightly. The next moment, the wall gradually turned into a screen.

"This is a light-guided screen that our auction house customized in the Sun-Moon Empire. It can transmit images and uses a mineral from the Sun-Moon Empire."

“Soul guide device?” Huo Yutong was surprised that a soul guide device could be activated without a soul master injecting soul power into it.

In addition to An Zhen, even Gu Yuena's eyes had a hint of surprise. The suddenly serious Silver Dragon King thought of many things. He didn't need a soul master to activate the soul guide. The extraordinary could actually leave the living creature? Is this the wisdom of human beings?
"The soul power required for this kind of soul guide should be very weak." An Zhen said.

"This distinguished guest is right." Qingya explained, "This kind of ore can only be used to drive some soul guides that consume very little energy, and cannot drive attack and defense soul guides."

Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of worry emerged in his heart.

"But since they are willing to sell this low-level technology, it means they are very likely to have mastered intermediate or even higher-level technology." An Zhen's words instantly lifted everyone's hearts, which had just been relieved.

The little episode passed quickly.

An empty auction table appeared on the screen.

Qingya said, "In order to ensure the privacy of VIPs, all VIPs have their own rooms. I will be responsible for explaining the various auction items in detail to you. During the auction, you will make your bids and the two maids will be responsible for bidding. The food in the room is free. After you bid on the items, the auction items will be delivered to the room as soon as possible, and the final settlement will be made."

The desserts and drinks in the room were good, not inferior to the daily meals of the core disciples of Shrek's outer courtyard. Gu Yuena had always loved food. Her cherry lips opened and closed, and her movements looked very elegant, but the food on the table disappeared at a very fast speed. An Zhen fed her on the side.

Suddenly, a golden light shone from the screen, and Qingya reminded, "Dear guests, our auction has begun."

A familiar voice came from the screen to everyone at Shrek Academy, making an opening introduction. Xu Jiujiu, who had previously come to the hotel to invite Shrek Academy, appeared on the screen, wearing a red gauze dress that set off her icy skin.

"It's her?" Wang Yan was surprised. "Starlight Auction House has a royal background."

"Auctioneer Jiujiu is the chief auctioneer of our auction house and the only gold-level auctioneer. However, she will only wear golden clothes when there are auction items worth billions of gold soul coins. She is also the youngest sister of our current emperor." Qingya introduced.

"It would be surprising if the largest and top auction house in the Xingluo Empire did not have a royal background." An Zhen looked at the screen. Under the lights, Her Royal Highness the Princess was like a moon surrounded by stars.

Upon hearing this, Qingya secretly glanced at her boss's target - An Zhen.

The auction begins.

The first item is the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword, an eighth-level soul guide device made from the right arm bone of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Dai Yueheng was extremely envious.

Close combat, also a tiger. It was tailor-made for him. But unfortunately, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is raising money to pay off the debt to that evil beast recently. The money should be handed over to Dean Yan of Shrek's martial spirit department recently. His savings alone are not enough. Damn it, it's all Dai Huabin's fault. The second item, twelve fixed soul guide shells, the reserve price is 650,000 gold soul coins. Just like the original, Wang Yan won it at the end of the bidding at the price of 655,000 gold soul coins.

Ten thousand year old soul bones, rare metals, and even an eighth-level soul guide device called "Heaven and Earth Creation Cannon".

The eighth auction item, the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. It was emerald green, as if it contained emerald green liquid, and a layer of ice mist covered it. Its solidified soul skill was Ice Explosion.

Huo Yutong and Ling Luochen stared with their eyes wide open.

Almost everyone in the Shrek Academy team looked at Huo Yutong and Ling Luochen. There was no doubt that both of them were very suitable for this soul bone.

"Elegant auctioneer." An Zhen looked at the lady in the black dress with a smile, "According to the auction rules, shouldn't there be a detailed introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of an auction item?"

Qingya was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, "Of course."

"But the Starlight Auction House seems to have violated this rule just now." An Zhen said softly, "There is a very harsh restriction on this soul bone, and you didn't tell me."

Only extreme ice can absorb it.

An Zhen didn't want to get something for free. According to the rules, you have to state the pros and cons before the auction. This was the other party's mistake. Having money and being a sucker are two different things.

Everyone in Shrek Academy looked at An Zhen.

"That's impossible!" Qingya retorted subconsciously, "My dear guest, every item in our auction has been strictly inspected by many masters and experts."

"How about a gamble?" An Zhen took out a token that looked like a nine-treasure glazed tower. "Two hundred million gold soul coins. I'll buy this soul bone. In addition to me and the two girls beside me, we'll find a volunteer with ice attribute to absorb it. A soul emperor or even a soul douluo will do. Let's see if he'll get into trouble."

"Is there something wrong with this thing?!"

An old voice with a hint of anger sounded, and the next second, in front of Qingya and the two girls behind her in surprise, two white-haired old men suddenly appeared in the room, one of them was slovenly, with a greasy hand holding a chicken drumstick, and the other was dressed in a clean white robe with a kind face.

"Xuan Zi, let's talk it over nicely." Moon En raised his hand and held down Old Xuan.

"Teacher!" An Zhen exclaimed in surprise.

"Master Xuan." An Zhen saw Qingya was stunned by the anger, and quickly stood up and stood in front of Qingya, "Master Xuan, this is none of their business. The soul bones produced by the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan can only be absorbed by soul masters with the ultimate ice physique. You should know that even ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions are soul beasts with ultimate attributes. I'm afraid that few people in the world know this."

"Ms. Qingya." An Zhen turned around and looked at the auctioneer apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay." Qingya felt her calves were a little weak. Huo Yutong, Wang Donger, and Xiao Xiao helped Qingya and the two girls in golden skirts sit on the sofa to rest.

"Dear guest, is what you said true?" Qingya asked anxiously. If it was true, auctioning this thing off would affect the reputation of their auction house. It took who knows how many years to accumulate this reputation. Once it was ruined, the Starlight Auction House would be finished. This was a taboo in the auction industry!

"I am Moon, the leader of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy. Miss Qingya, I am willing to guarantee the words of my disciple." Moon said in a gentle voice. Warm light shone on Qingya and the other two, and the discomfort caused by the shock just now disappeared in an instant.

Qingya:!
Master of Poseidon Pavilion!
She had never seen such a big shot in her life.

In front of the people of Shrek Academy, she believed that no one would dare to pretend to be such a big shot. As for directing and acting by herself, even hundreds of millions of gold soul coins were not worth Shrek's reputation.

"Your Majesty and all the distinguished guests, please wait for a moment. I will report to the boss right away." Qingya said and hurried out.

After a while, Xu Jiujiu's voice sounded, "Because this auction item is too precious, this auction house has decided to extend the viewing time by ten minutes so that all distinguished guests can understand and consider it."

An Zhen looked at Huo Yutong and Ling Luochen, "Ice Explosion is a very powerful ability. I will buy it at the auction later."

"Give it to Yutong." Ling Luochen said. The Ice Queen looked at An Zhen with a touch of tenderness in her eyes. "I have already got what I wanted."

“No, give it to Senior Sister Ling.” Huo Yutong shook her head, and looked at An Zhen sincerely with eyes as bright as stars. “Senior Sister Ling is better than Yutong, and can help Brother An Zhen better.”

"You guys." An Zhen smiled and reached out to gently touch the heads of the two girls. It was rare for the girls to get along well with each other, and it was even rarer for them to be humble to each other when facing such a precious treasure.

"All!"
