The leader carefully opened the brocade box, his face glowing green. "Hiss~ It really is a soul bone, and a precious head soul bone at that!"

Aside from the external soul bones, the rarest of the six soul bone sets are the torso bones and the skull.

He carefully picked it up and examined it with one eye.

"How is it?" Ye Qiu asked as they put them down.

“Young man… no! Distinguished guest, we are prepared to offer a starting bid of one million gold soul coins. Is that acceptable?” The lead appraiser bowed to Ye Qiu and offered his opinion.

"Wow! One million, brother..." Xiao Lan excitedly shook Ye Qiu's head.

"Of course, no problem!" Ye Qiu was somewhat moved by such a huge sum of money.

"Very well, take this young master to the red VIP area!"

"Alright...alright! Young master, please come with me! I'll take you both to complete the necessary procedures right away." At the old man's instruction, the young woman was still the one leading Ye Qiu.

She never expected that the young man she brought in would have such wealth; it seemed her commission this month would definitely be substantial!

Chapter 55 Rookie

The procedure they mentioned wasn't complicated; it was simply about getting a Gold Soul Coin savings card.

The starting bid of one million gold soul coins has already been deposited into this card. The remaining balance will be paid after the auction is completed.

Auctions are held all day here, but the rare items section is only held for one hour in the evening. Ye Qiu's head soul bone can definitely be called a rare item.

It was still early, and after Ye Qiu retrieved the savings card and the badge that represented his identity, he was led to the waiting room. The girl who had led the way had already left.

"Mmm~" As soon as Xiao Lan saw the fruit inside, she started eating, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons. "So sweet! Brother, you should have some too..."

"Eat less, don't stuff yourself again!" Ye Qiu looked at her speechlessly. She always ate so much, yet her soul power didn't seem to increase. It seemed that staying outside for so long had taken a toll on her energy...

He shook his head helplessly and quietly waited for night to fall.

……

"Knock knock!" A knock sounded on the door.

"Young master, it's time!" came the girl's voice from outside the door.

"Little Blue, it's time to go~"

"I'm coming!"

Seeing her actions, Ye Qiu's forehead creased with annoyance. "You've already had your food refilled several times, haven't you had enough yet?"

Xiao Lan was holding a fruit platter piled high with fruit. "Uh... I'm going to take this with me. What if I get hungry later?"

Ye Qiu's eyes twitched. Who was hiccuping just now?

"Let's go, let's go~" There's no other way, if I don't spoil myself, who will?

"Please follow me, this way~"

The girl in charge of guiding the way was quite professional. Even when she saw Xiao Lan, who was heavily pregnant, carrying a large plate of fruit, she didn't change her expression. Every ten or so steps, she would stop and point out the direction again.

Xiao Lan obediently followed him. When they reached the inner gate, the girl who had led the way left. Before she turned around, Ye Qiu thought she was definitely covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

He knelt down and wiped her juice-covered face, then put the mask prepared by the auction house on Xiao Lan.

"Don't say anything out of line once you're inside!"

"Mmm, ahh...smack smack~" She nodded at Ye Qiu in between bites, her actions of stuffing food into her mouth never stopping.

Sighing and rubbing his forehead, Ye Qiu put on his mask, pinned the red emblem to his chest, and walked inside with Xiao Lan.

Upon entering the inner area, Ye Qiu was almost blinded by the glare.

The waitresses inside were all women, and they had much more attractive figures than the girls who greeted guests outside.

Although they were all dressed in white, these waitresses wore tight-fitting short skirts that exposed their arms, with the front of their skirts wide open and the hem barely reaching their waists.

Her long, fair legs moved back and forth, accompanied by the soft, half-moon-like curve of her hair.

It was awkward for Ye Qiu, an honest man, to look or not to look... After all, he was still a normal man; why put him through such a test?

"Son~"

As soon as Ye Qiu entered, a voluptuous waitress approached him with a radiant smile and fiery enthusiasm, immediately taking his arm.

"The red VIP area is this way, please follow me~" She whispered in Ye Qiu's ear, her breath sweet and her voice alluring.

"Ah, okay..." Feeling the pressure on his arm, Ye Qiu was somewhat incoherent.

"Brother~ Brother, wait for Xiao Lan!" Xiao Lan, carrying a fruit platter, chased after Ye Qiu.

The entire auction hall was like the Roman Colosseum, with the auction stage at the very bottom center. The red VIP area was closest to the auction stage, followed by black, purple, yellow, and white.

The red positions are the fewest, representing millions of dollars in wealth, while the white positions are the most, where the starting bid for the item can be as low as one thousand gold soul coins.

The sexy waitress led Ye Qiu to his seat, and after helping him sit down, she bent down, revealing a patch of her white hair, and leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her hot breath brushing against his face. "Young master! You can come to me if you need anything~ Anything~ Phew!"

"Cough cough~ No, no, no, I'm fine!" Ye Qiu's face flushed red, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head.

The woman left with a smile; she hadn't seen such an interesting man in a long time...

"Brother~ Why are you walking so fast? I thought you didn't want Xiao Lan anymore~" At this moment, Xiao Lan finally caught up with Ye Qiu.

"How could that be? It was that older sister who pulled me just now..." Ye Qiu's face was still a little red, but fortunately, the mask on her face covered half of her face.

Xiao Lan handed the fruit plate to Ye Qiu, then sat in Ye Qiu's lap, "I don't care... I want my brother to feed me!"

"Okay!" Ye Qiu nodded, and she placed her hand on Ye Qiu's forehead to wipe away the sweat.

"Haha... You can't even handle this? What a newbie!"

A discordant voice came from the seat next to Ye Qiu.

The surrounding area was relatively empty, with only the seat next to Ye Qiu occupied.

Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan both looked over at the same time. The person speaking was a young girl, not very old, and her simple white dress gave her a clean and tidy appearance.

She had blue eyes, brown hair, smooth skin, delicate features, and a gentle and noble demeanor, but the words she spoke were completely at odds with her appearance.

She was sitting on the lap of a middle-aged man who looked very gentle and gave off the impression of a gentleman.

Strangely, neither of them wore masks or had any badges indicating their VIP status.

Xiao Lan glared at her, swallowed what was in her mouth, and said, "Gulp... What did you say! Brother is not a newbie!"

"So that's the veteran, huh?" The girl opposite her said with a mocking and smug look, as if she had found a fun toy.

"Nonsense, my brother isn't a bird!"

"Isn't that right? I don't think so."

"Where would my brother have... um!"

Ye Qiu quickly covered Xiao Lan's mouth, looking at the girl in front of him with surprise. Are all city girls like this? She looks like she has received higher education, but the words she says are so vulgar.

"What are you looking at! You..."

"Ahem! Alright, if you keep this up, I won't bring you out next time!" Seeing that the girl was about to say something inappropriate, the middle-aged man couldn't sit still any longer. He gently patted her head and interrupted her.

"Okay, Daddy! Humph!" The girl snorted and glared at Ye Qiu, revealing her spoiled nature.

The middle-aged man simply smiled indulgently at his daughter's behavior, turned around and nodded to Ye Qiu and his companion, his voice gentle and soothing, "I'm sorry, young man, my daughter is a bit naughty!"

"It's nothing..." Ye Qiu shook his head; it was just a minor argument.

A look of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He possessed a special soul skill that allowed him to discern the approximate level of others' soul power, but he couldn't tell the soul power of the brother and sister beside him...

"Hmph~ Dad, why are you talking bad about me again! I'm not talking to you anymore!" His daughter's complaint interrupted his thoughts.

He gave a wry smile. "Hehe...Alright! Just buy whatever you like later!"

These outrageously extravagant words caught Ye Qiu's attention.

"You said it yourself! Don't regret it later~" The girl rolled her eyes mischievously, and when she felt Ye Qiu's gaze, she curled her lip in disdain.

"Brother~ let's eat fruit and ignore that bad sister~" Xiao Lan turned Ye Qiu's face and put the fruit to his mouth, not forgetting to glare at the girl with a huff.

"You're the bad one! You little brat..."

"You're so big now, yet you're still sitting on Daddy's lap. You're still a little one..."

"Hmph!"×2

The two little girls, one big and one small, met eyes, both snorted coldly, and turned their heads away.

Noticing the middle-aged man's gaze, she smiled politely.

Ye Qiu took the fruit Xiao Lan handed him and chuckled as he pinched her cheek.

My younger sister is so thoughtful!

Chapter 56 Hitting the wall

The auction was about to begin. After a brief opening speech, the host immediately introduced the first item up for auction.

It was a bracelet that looked quite old and still carried some fluctuations of soul power.

"Everyone! This is a spatial soul tool, with a size of one cubic meter. The starting bid is three thousand gold soul coins!"
