Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 196 Martial Soul Resonance, Slaves at the Auction
The auction soon came to an end.

At this moment, a maid led a stunningly beautiful young woman in a white dress, with a delicate and frail demeanor, onto the auction stage.

The girl had snow-white hair, milky-white skin, and delicate features, but she had a pair of fox ears on her head and a fox tail extending from her buttocks.

Clearly, this is a fox spirit!
However, the section of fox tail extending from her hips looked very strange, as if it had not fully developed.

(At the request of a reader, an original character has been added.)
Inside the private room, Qi Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the fox woman on the auction stage below, then turned to Ning Fengzhi.

"Uncle Ning, do you still auction off slaves here?"

Although he found it very unusual, he knew that this kind of situation was commonplace on the mainland.

Even if the mainland is unified and a ban is issued, there will still be people auctioning off slaves; at most, they will just go underground instead of openly.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi glanced indifferently at the fox woman below.

"With the wealth of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there is no need to make a profit by auctioning slaves."

As he said this, a hint of pride was clearly visible on his face.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the wealthiest families on the continent, and they certainly look down on such paltry sums.

But then he changed the subject.

"However, if someone puts a slave up for auction at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we will still not refuse as long as the slave meets the auction standards."

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he looked at Qi Lin.

Young people are always the most righteous, and the reason he explained was that he didn't want this to affect his relationship with Qi Lin.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi had no need to deceive Qi Lin about this. In Ning Fengzhi's view, making a profit by auctioning slaves was a low-class business that would only lower his own status.

It should be noted that the main reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was able to accumulate its current wealth is because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can identify treasures.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi's decision not to auction off slaves doesn't mean he won't buy them. After all, he is a member of the aristocracy and has quite a few slaves at home. He recently bought a catwoman at the Tian Dou Auction.

“Brother Qi Lin, even if these slaves aren’t auctioned at our auction house, they will be auctioned at other auction houses. Take this slave below, for example. Her appearance is destined to attract the covetousness of countless people. Even if she is rescued, she will eventually fall into the hands of others.”

"If you feel sorry for her, just take a picture of her. Anyway, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has plenty of money, we can afford to support a slave."

Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, spoke with an air of wealth and arrogance.

She had accompanied her father to auctions many times before and encountered similar situations. At first, she felt very uncomfortable, but over time, she realized that such situations were unavoidable.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the auction stage began to introduce the fox woman who was being auctioned.

It turns out that this person was born in a city near the far north and had a special hair color from birth. However, when he was six years old, his martial soul awakening failed. Not only did he not have innate soul power, but he also ended up looking like he does now.

As she grew older, her appearance became increasingly striking, especially with her fox ears and tail, which eventually attracted the attention of human traffickers, who sold her to a duke in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Unfortunately, the duke's wife was a jealous woman, and before the duke could even enjoy her, she sent her to the auction house of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After the introduction, the prominent figures in the auction house began to vie for the fox spirit.

Especially the heads of top noble families and large clans.

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin said, "Then let's take a picture of her."

He spoke up not only because he felt sorry for the fox-woman, but also for another reason.

Something about this fox woman seemed to resonate with his second martial soul.

This was the first time Qi Lin had encountered such a situation since his transmigration. Upon hearing Qi Lin speak, Ning Rongrong immediately raised her sign.

The starting bid for the fox girl is 200,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 5,000 gold soul coins higher.

In just a short while, the price of the fox spirit was raised to 250,000.

Not long ago, Ning Fengzhi bought the catwoman at the Tian Dou Auction House for only 180,000 gold soul coins.

With Ning Rongrong's intervention, the price was directly raised to 300,000.

This price is likely the highest price for slaves in the last decade.

Once the price was announced, the bidding in the auction room immediately ceased.

It wasn't just because the price was too high, but also because they knew who the bidder was, so naturally no one dared to disrespect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Three hundred thousand gold soul coins for the first time, three hundred thousand gold soul coins for the second time, three hundred thousand gold soul coins for the third time."

"make a deal!"

After the fox girl was sold, the auction continued. The last item up for auction was a six-thousand-year-old left arm soul bone. Although it was not ten thousand years old, it still fetched an astronomical price and was sold to a Soul Douluo.

For a Title Douluo, a thousand-year-old soul bone is too useless, but for a Soul Douluo, it is still a rare treasure.

After the auction ended, Qi Lin, Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo were led by a female attendant to a room backstage at the auction house.

Then a line of women filed into the room, each carrying an item for auction.

These are all the auction items that Qi Lin just bought.

And walking at the very back was the fox woman from before.

From the moment she was brought onto the auction stage, she already knew her fate. She looked delicate and frail, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

After Qi Lin put all the other auction items into his storage bracelet, he came to the fox woman. Her hands were handcuffed, and her wrists were rubbed raw and swollen.

"Take off her handcuffs."

Upon hearing this, the female attendant standing next to her immediately unlocked her handcuffs and then respectfully handed Qi Lin a contract.

"Distinguished guest, this is her slave contract. From now on, she is yours."

Qi Lin took the contract and looked at the information on it.

The fox girl's name is Xue Ling, she is fourteen years old, and her martial soul is likely a failed mutation of a snow fox.

Xue Ling saw Qi Lin accept the contract. The clean-cut and handsome young man in front of her gave her a warm feeling. Feeling the gaze cast by the young man, she felt as if she were under a warm ray of sunshine.

Xue Ling was initially very scared, but after seeing Qi Lin, she suddenly stopped being afraid.

"Master!"

Xue Ling looked at Qi Lin cautiously and tentatively called out.

Qi Lin looked at her like this, then smiled gently.

"From now on, you'll stay by my side. My house is still missing a cleaning maid."
