Douluo Jueshi: Martial Soul Brain Waves, Telekinesis

Chapter 158 A Misunderstanding in the Mortal World
"Four million gold soul coins."

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Lin Qinghan made a bid directly, and even increased it by 500,000 gold soul coins.

This Evil Eye Soul Ring is very suitable for Huo Yutong. Even if he takes Huo Yutong to the Demon Forest to search again, it would be difficult to find one that can compare to this.

As for why Lin Qinghan is still making the offer, it's entirely because after Huo Yutong made money by making soul tools, she voluntarily handed over most of her earnings to Lin Qinghan for safekeeping.

With the resources provided to Huo Yutong as Mu En's closed-door disciple, Huo Yutong has now given Lin Qinghan nearly six million gold soul coins.

"Four million two hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

After Lin Qinghan made his bid, the somewhat awkward silence was broken. After all, this was a top-grade soul ring, and even if it was absorbed by a fire-attribute soul master, it would still be a very good choice.

Therefore, although the current price is already quite high, enough to hire a Soul Douluo who is not an eighth-level Soul Master to hunt Soul Beasts, those who are not short of money still raise the price.

"Five million gold soul coins."

Lin Qinghan immediately raised the price by 800,000 gold soul coins. In this era, when the number of soul beasts was at its peak, hiring a professional soul hunting team wouldn't cost too many gold soul coins.

Moreover, since not just anyone can absorb a spirit ring, its value is far less than that of a spirit bone, and the Sun Moon Empire does not have any spirit attribute spirit masters.

Others bought it as a decent fire-attribute soul ring, so no one raised the price anymore.

Lin Qinghan easily helped Huo Yutong acquire the 60,000-year-old top-grade Evil Eye Crystal with five million gold soul coins.

"Congratulations to the previous seller! Let's continue the auction. Next up is the seventh item."

The staff at Mingdu Auction House acted quickly, and soon someone knocked on the door of their VIP room.

"The 60,000-year-old Evil Eye Crystal you purchased has been delivered. Would you mind opening the door, esteemed guest?"

"Qinghan, I'll pay for it. Consider it a gift from me to Xiaoyutong."

Meng Hongchen stepped forward and opened the door. Before Lin Qinghan and Huo Yutong could refuse, she took out her gold soul coin savings card and paid the money directly.

"Don't refuse, okay? This is the first time I've given Xiaoyutong a gift, isn't it?"

After paying, Meng Hongchen accepted the Evil Eye Crystal and handed it to Huo Yutong with a smile.

Huo Yutong deserves some credit for her current close relationship with Lin Qinghan. As the older sister who dreams, she has always been thinking about giving Huo Yutong something.

But she never had the chance. Huo Yutong was not like a fifteen-year-old girl at all. Although she didn't look like one, she was usually either cultivating with Lin Qinghan or researching soul tools.

Normally, she has no interest in makeup or accessories. Huo Yutong is also capable of making her own soul tools, so Meng Hongchen has never found an opportunity to give her a gift.

But this time it's just right. As for five million gold soul coins, it's nothing to Meng Hongchen.

After all, Xiao Hongchen had the authority to use hundreds of millions of gold soul coins to buy things that belonged to her back then. Now, Meng Hongchen's talent is even better, and she is basically unrestricted in terms of gold soul coins.

"Thank you so much, Sister Meng. I'll cook for you in your dorm tonight."

Since Meng Hongchen had said so, Huo Yutong naturally stopped refusing and gladly accepted Meng Hongchen's gift.

Speaking of which, she and Lin Qinghan came here under Meng Hongchen's guidance.

Moreover, Meng Hongchen's personality was very compatible with hers, and she was willing to genuinely treat Meng Hongchen as a sister. After receiving the Evil Eye Crystal, Huo Yutong placed it directly into her soul storage device and continued watching the ongoing auction below.

"By the way, Meng, you hold out your hand first."

Lin Qinghan looked at Meng Hongchen and Huo Yutong, who were like sisters, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, seeing the ring in her hand, she suddenly thought of something and took out a soul tool ring.

Jing Hongchen had given him a pair of level nine storage rings before, saying they were part of Meng Hongchen's dowry, and one of them belonged to Meng Hongchen. He had forgotten to give her the one that belonged to Meng Hongchen.

"Qinghan, what are you doing? Xiaoyutong is still here."

Meng Hongchen's face flushed instantly. Lin Qinghan asked her to hold out her hand and took out a ring, making it clear what he wanted to do.

Although Meng Hongchen was a little shy, and although Huo Yutong was watching from the side, she still bravely reached out her hand and placed it in Lin Qinghan's palm.

Seeing that Meng Hongchen had reached out her hand, Lin Qinghan casually put the soul tool ring on her finger.

"Thank you, Qinghan, I do!"

"This is a gift from your grandfather; it's two nines."

Lin Qinghan and Meng Hongchen spoke almost simultaneously, but also fell silent at the same time.

Lin Qinghan suddenly realized that her behavior just now could easily be misunderstood as a confession or a marriage proposal.

As for Meng Hongchen, she was filled with shame because she had misunderstood Lin Qinghan's meaning. Various thoughts flooded her mind, leaving her somewhat disoriented.

"It's not the right time yet. These are level nine soul guide rings that your grandfather gave us. They're a pair, one for each of us."

Lin Qinghan smiled, touched Meng Hongchen's hair, and secretly released a trace of his ultimate ice soul power to wake her up.

That said, Meng Hongchen's reaction is quite interesting, and because Meng Hongchen's ice and fire attributes are both very strong, a strange phenomenon has actually occurred on her body.

'So steampunk girls really do exist in real life!'

Looking at Meng Hongchen, whose head was steaming, Lin Qinghan felt a pang of emotion. A scene that seemed straight out of an anime in his previous life was now actually happening to Meng Hongchen.

"Is that so? Haha, I thought..."

After being calmed down by Lin Qinghan's ultimate ice soul power, Meng Hongchen has now recovered. She looked at the ring that was already on her finger and gave an awkward smile.

Afterwards, she went to Huo Yutong's side and went with her to check on the progress of the auction.

Although Meng Hongchen wasn't exactly thin-skinned, this was so embarrassing that she was now almost afraid to look at Lin Qinghan's face.

"Next is the tenth item for auction, a carving knife. It ended up here because its previous owner was killed by an evil spirit master."

The auction continued, and Meng Hongchen and Huo Yutong looked at the auction items below. Meng Hongchen bought a few more items, but it was clear that her mind was not on the auction at all.

She kept glancing at the ring on her hand and then at Lin Qinghan behind her, her thoughts completely written on her face.
