Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 18 Why shoot?
"Qinghe, are these fruits edible?"

Paimeng Jiankong stared blankly at the auction hall, while Xue Qinghe stood there without saying a word. The fruits on the table looked juicy and she really wanted to eat them.

"Of course, Paimon can eat whatever he likes."

Xue Qinghe pushed the fruit plate in front of Paimeng with a smile on his face.

"Hmm! This fruit is red and looks like plum blossoms."

Paimon picked up a bright red fruit and handed it to Sora.

"Here, traveler, it's delicious. Look how good I am to you. You are the first person I think of when I have something delicious."

"...Thank you for testing poison on me again."

The corner of Kong's mouth twitched. This magical move of Paimon's was not the first or second time.

As long as it was a food she had never seen before but looked delicious, she would let him try it first.

Because she had once had a stomach upset, from then on Kong had to be not only her chef, but also a poison tester.

Even so, Sora took the fruit, which was as big as her palm, and took a bite under her expectant gaze.

"How's it? Is it delicious?"

Paimon held his little hand, looked at the crystal juice overflowing from the gap of the fruit, and asked hurriedly.

"Mmm, very sweet. Paimon is ready to eat."

Sora nodded and gave it a very high rating.

"Hey, let's eat! Hmm~ This is also delicious, traveler, try it."

Paimon picked up the fruits from the fruit plate and started showing off, then took a small portion of the fruits in his hand and stuffed them into Kong's mouth.

Seeing that Kong was somewhat reluctant but still chose to eat it, his eyes were full of smiles.

In fact, of course she knew that the fruit was not poisonous. It was used to entertain guests, so how could it be something bad?

She saw that Kong was somewhat absent-minded. Usually in this situation, Kong was thinking about his blood relatives or some annoying things.

As a traveler's best friend, she would always step forward to adjust the atmosphere and drive away all of Kong's worries.

"Um, Qinghe, do you have any fruit left?"

Paimon pointed to the fruit plate that Kong Kong had given him on the table.

The fruits here are delicious, but unfortunately there are not enough of them, so she felt a little unsatisfied.

"Also, I'll call right away."

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and quickly told the maid outside to get it.

He had just been observing Kong and Paimon, and there was a sense of mystery about these two people.

"Hey, thank you Qinghe."

Paimon felt a little embarrassed, then seemed to think of something and continued:
"When we find the Chen Ge Pot someday, I'll treat Qinghe to delicious food that isn't available here."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Xue Qinghe responded with a smile, and then asked:

"But what is this Dust Song Pot that Paimon mentioned?"

"The Dust Song Pot is a treasure that Grandma Ping gave to the traveler. It's huge and can hold a lot of things. Even food won't spoil. But now it's lost..."

Paimeng explained to Xue Qinghe, and at the end, a look of regret appeared on his face.

"Is it similar to a space-type soul guide..."

Xue Qinghe's vision was naturally higher than others. Therefore, when Paimeng mentioned this, he thought of the storage soul guide device recorded in ancient books.

But according to Paimeng, the pot she mentioned seemed to be much more advanced than the soul guide.

Not only are their origins mysterious, but even the things on their bodies are extremely magical.

Not using soul power, summoning weapons from space, and the pot mentioned earlier that can hold everything, all of these are things he has never heard of or seen before.

A suspicion now welled up in her mind, and it was a strong possibility.

Just when Xue Qinghe wanted to ask again, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then the enchanting woman directed two maids to bring in fruits and some desserts.

"Your Highness, here are the fruits and snacks you requested."

"Well, just put it here, back off."

Xue Qinghe nodded, hiding his curiosity in his heart, and spoke calmly.

"Yes……"

"Wow! This snack looks delicious."

Paimeng was immediately attracted by the food on the table and was eager to try it.

"As long as Paimon likes it, I just specially asked them to bring it to you."

Xue Qinghe discovered that Kong was always serious, but Paimon beside him was a foodie. As long as you give her food, she can become your good friend who can talk about anything.

"Hey, thank you. I'll be welcome then."

Dong dong dong~.

While Paimon was still fighting with the food, a prompt sound came from the floor below, which immediately attracted the attention of several people.

The auction is about to begin.

As the auctioneer came on stage and gave a wonderful speech, one after another strange and bizarre auction items were brought up for bidding.

One of the items was a spiritual plant. According to the auctioneer, it was a spiritual herb that could cure all kinds of poisons. It was bought by a man with a very powerful aura.

Kong had no interest in the items being auctioned. He just looked at the people in the venue. In addition to the person who bid for the spiritual herb, there were also people with strong auras in several private rooms.

Paimeng, on the other hand, was very interested in the items being auctioned, and kept chattering about what Xue Qinghe was auctioning.

"This auction is truly spectacular. Even Titled Douluo have made a bid."

"Yeah, but it's too expensive. We can't afford it at all..."

The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the people participating in the auction were also communicating and discussing the items to be auctioned.

"Dear guests, the item about to be auctioned is the grand finale of this auction. I believe many of you are here for this grand finale..."

After an item was auctioned, no maids came to the stage to carry out other items. Instead, the auctioneer walked directly to the front of the stage and introduced them to everyone.

"What is the finale?"

"How would I know? But as the finale item, it must be very rare."

Everyone in the room was discussing, and in Room 2, Paimon hurriedly called out, and said nervously:

"Traveler, we're almost at the last one."

"Don't worry, Paimon. If this is really your friend, I'll take a picture of it for you."

Before Kong could say anything, Xue Qinghe spoke first, standing up and looking at the field.

"Huh? Why are we taking pictures? If it's really Coco, we can just take her away."

Paimon was a little confused, she came here to save Coco.

If that fox girl is really Keke, not only should we take her away, but we should also teach those who captured her a lesson! Why did Qinghe say that we should give them money?
"This……"

Xue Qinghe was stunned when he heard this. Snatching people at an auction? This had never happened before.

You should know that the background of the auction does not only involve those nobles, but also involves the shadows of some sects.

The items auctioned at the auction house were extremely rare, regardless of their location. The fact that it had been able to operate smoothly from the beginning to the present day clearly spoke volumes about its background. No one had ever considered causing trouble at the auction.

But now listening to what Paimon said, it seemed that the two of them really came with this idea in mind.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe still reminded:
"There may be many experts in the auction house, so it will be difficult to snatch the person directly."

He still doesn't know the true strength of the two, but if he wants to snatch someone at the auction, he must at least be at the Titled Douluo level, right?
