Female Supreme: Holy Son, you don’t want to be discovered, right?

Xing Feng also understood that he had no chance of escaping now, so he could only sigh helplessly and give up those unrealistic ideas.

The most important thing now is to stay calm and not be impulsive.

Instead of risking escape, it is better to conserve your strength and wait and see what happens.

Xing Feng looked down at the worn linen clothes on his body. The already dirty clothes were now covered with tears and stains, and were almost torn to the point of being unwearable.

You should be more honest, take a shower and change into clean clothes...

Xing Feng thought silently in his heart, he knew there was no better choice now.

However, when he looked up and saw the bathroom in front of him, he frowned and couldn't help but complain about the simplicity of the place.

The entire bathroom looked like an abandoned factory, with no windows and only dim lights casting dark shadows on the mottled walls.

In the center of the bathroom, there is a rusty iron sink.

The fence at the bottom of the iron trough has been corroded by water stains and is barely functioning. Even the drainage holes look precarious.

The ground around the sink still had traces of dried water and yellow stains, and it was obvious that it had not been thoroughly cleaned for a long time.

If Xing Feng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he had walked into the set of a horror movie.

With a frown, he walked to the shower head. The old shower pipe seemed like it would burst at any time. The shower head was also a little loose, and it made a sharp creaking sound when he twisted it slightly.

The sudden gushing of water startled Xing Feng, and he took a step back to avoid being completely splashed by the water.

"Puff-"

White smoke gradually came out of the cold water and turned into hot water, and the water pressure was sufficient. It was probably the only place here that made people feel slightly comfortable.

Xing Feng sighed helplessly, feeling disgusted with the environment, but he could only accept his fate and wash himself.

He took off the linen clothes which had 0 durability and was already tattered, and threw it into the sink beside him.

Then Xing Feng walked barefoot on the cold ground and walked step by step to the shower head.

The hot water poured over his tired body and steam quickly filled the small bathroom.

Xing Feng closed his eyes, letting the water wash away the dirt and fatigue on his body, while in his mind he recalled everything that had just happened.

The mermaid just opened her mouth slightly, and suddenly disappeared from sight like a phantom. Then, as if time had gone back, she was hung on the wall again, and her body returned to its previous state of ruin.

But...

Xing Feng looked down at the scars and bite marks on his fingers. The stinging sensation was still clear, and he was very sure that what had just happened was definitely not an illusion.

Although I don't know how she did it, it also shows that I have provoked a bad guy again.

"Oh..." Xing Feng sighed helplessly and let the hot water wash over his body, but the warm water could not wash away the worry and heaviness in his heart.

He simply closed his eyes and began to think about what to do next.

Now that she has cured the mermaid, I believe she will be able to escape with the other mermaids.

After all, it is not an ordinary existence, but a golden legend. It should not be locked up in that small iron cage.

but...

Xing Feng recalled the mermaid's eyes again, although he didn't know what she had just said to him.

But the emotion in her eyes when she looked at him just now was very wrong, very wrong.

Not only is it a passionate love, but it also carries a kind of gentle compassion, and even... some inexplicable fanatical worship...

Ah... my head hurts so much...

He just saved a life...

He could understand that he was grateful, but why did he get into trouble every time he saved someone?

No! Next time, I must avoid the golden guy! Xing Feng pressed his temple hard, then rubbed his hair and swore secretly.

At the same time, he also hoped that Lisa could come and rescue him quickly, and leave this dangerous place before the mermaid discovered him.

...

At this time, deep underground,

A heavy door was slowly pushed open.

After the lights were turned on, the magnificent room gradually revealed its true appearance.

The floor was covered with expensive crimson carpets, the walls were hung with thick dark curtains, and several low-hanging crystal chandeliers provided lighting, which slanted into the center of the venue, creating a warm, bright area.

Although this place is not as spacious as ordinary auction halls and can only accommodate about thirty or forty people, the layout here is extremely exquisite, and the luxurious layout gives people a strong sense of oppression.

"My Lords, please come in."

The woman with the ring changed her attitude from the daytime, her face became humble, and she respectfully bent her waist to 90 degrees to guide the guest in.

Her hands were still wrapped in gauze. Despite her humble attitude, none of the guests looked her in the eye. Instead, they walked around her with their heads held high, seemingly completely unconcerned about her presence.

Even though most of them are terribly fat, with almost no visible necks, they can still adopt that disgustingly arrogant attitude.

But in the eyes of the woman with the ring, these people are her cash cows.

After all, just looking at the precious silk and jewelry these people are wearing, you can tell that if they shake their bodies a little, a lot of gold will probably fall out.

However, what is most disturbing about these people is not their extravagant attire and arrogant posture, but the masks on their faces.

Each mask has a unique design, some are inlaid with gems, some are carved with intricate patterns, but without exception they all present a terrifying appearance like a demon.

After entering the venue,

They sat quietly in the seats that belonged to them in previous years, silently looking at each other's folding fans, rings, and jewelry in their hands, but did not talk directly.

It’s not that they are unfamiliar with each other, but because they know very well that in this special auction, it is best to keep their identities secret as much as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

At this moment, a voice came from the venue

"Did you catch a live mermaid again this year?"

The speaker was a fat, short woman. Although her tone was calm, there was a certain obvious excitement in her voice.

The woman with the ring immediately bowed and replied, "Your Excellency's guess is correct. This year is a bumper harvest. Not only did we catch a lot of adult mermaids, but we also caught dozens of rare cubs."

When they heard that there were mermaid babies, greedy gleams appeared in the eyes of the women around, and some even licked their thick lips involuntarily.

Mermaid cubs are more precious than adult mermaids. Their meat is tender and tastes great, and their blood is a rare treasure. They are the most luxurious treasures in the hearts of these nobles and wealthy businessmen.

In the center of the hall, a shriveled old man with a silk scarf around his neck was not interested. Instead, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is the mermaid from last year still alive? This year I want her blood, and more!!"

The woman with the ring smiled and complimented him hurriedly, "Don't worry, sir. The mermaid is still alive and well. Fresh mermaid blood has been prepared for you this morning. It's still hot and fresh."　

Hearing that the blood she ordered was ready, the old man's dry cheeks twitched slightly, his wrinkles piled up like dead wood, and he smiled with extraordinary satisfaction.

"Okay! Okay! I don't care about other mermaids, but that one. I only want her blood!"

There was a cruel excitement in her voice, as if the blood had flowed into her throat, giving her hope of survival.

The women around seemed to be accustomed to this, and some even looked at the old man with envy.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the old woman's true identity was actually the old queen of a certain island country. She was old and frail, and she relied on the blood of mermaids to maintain her life.

Every year, she would come here with a lot of silver and spend a huge amount of money for the precious blood, but the money naturally came from the national treasury and those stupid citizens.

If she hadn't held on to the military power so tightly, the daughters under her would have been chopped into pieces by this old monster long ago.

At this moment, the beautiful figure sitting at the end of the hall was watching everything quietly.

She was wearing a silver fox fur coat, with her long silver-gray hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and she exuded a very special noble temperament.

Her long, beautiful legs were crossed gracefully, her movements were slow and restrained, revealing a nonchalant calmness, as if nothing and everyone in the room had anything to do with her.

Although she also had that terrifying mask on her face, one could still feel the inviolable aura of coldness and arrogance emanating from her beautiful face underneath the mask.

Just like a frozen throne, just sitting there is enough to keep people away.

The woman next to her secretly glanced at her from time to time, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked. She always felt that she was like a completely different person compared to previous years. Not only was her skin so white and delicate that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it, but even her whole aura seemed to become even more cool and elegant with her hair color.

Finally, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how come you are more beautiful this year than last year? How did you do it? Can mermaid meat have such an effect?"

The fox-fur woman slowly raised her eyes, and her silver-gray eyes beneath the mask looked at the woman.

The woman was frightened by those eyes and felt a chill in her body.

Although she was used to seeing big shots, she still couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and even felt that this guy probably wouldn't tell her about this.

The woman in fox fur turned her head slightly, a few strands of silver-gray hair gently brushed across her shoulders, and her fingers were casually placed on the armrest, tapping the armrest rhythmically with her slender fingertips.

"Just eat it raw." She said calmly, her voice seemed to be free of any emotion.

This simple answer stunned the woman next to him. She opened her eyes wide in shock, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

It turns out that mermaid meat must be eaten raw to have such a magical effect?

No wonder I have cooked, roasted and stewed it for so many years, and put so much effort into it, but there has been no obvious change. It seems that I have wasted so much precious mermaid meat.

Thinking of this, the woman gnashed her teeth in anger. You know, for so many years, she had spent a lot of money to buy these mermaids just for the sake of beauty and skin care, but she didn't expect that all the money would be wasted.

If I had started eating raw meat before, I might be a hundred times prettier than her now!!! My temperament would definitely be stronger than hers!! My legs would also be longer than hers!!!

After hearing the news, the woman's teeth chattered, but she eventually put away her jealousy and quickly lowered her voice and whispered.

"Sister, please don't tell those fat women around here about this. Just keep it to you and me. When tonight is over, you and I can go back to my humble abode to chat and taste the mermaid baby together. How about that?"

The woman in fox fur didn't say anything. She held her cheek with one hand and her eyes fell on the woman with the ring who was complimenting a few old customers in front of the counter.

Fragments of memory emerged, and soon she found memories of this human.

The humble fisherman who had almost died on the outskirts of the imperial storm had once begged her desperately to be allowed to step into the border of the empire.

At that time, she still had the smell of the sea and poverty on her body. When she knelt in front of him, he kowtowed to her humbly and asked for help. But now, she has suddenly changed and become the behind-the-scenes controller of this shopping mall.

Humans are indeed prone to becoming greedy and cunning, and learning to cater to those dirty desires.

Really, it didn't surprise her...

The corners of Lisa's mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare faint smile...

...

Chapter 177 During the auction

Soon it was time for the auction to begin.

The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. After greeting all the old customers, the woman with the ring bowed and retreated to the side of the stage, leaving everything to the host who was about to appear.

Soon, the lights came back on.

An exquisite young man with light blond hair, wearing an exquisite evening gown, came to the center of the stage with a bit of restraint.

However, he had heavy shackles on his ankles that looked out of place with his formal attire.

"Dear distinguished guests, welcome... welcome to the Youye Island Auction." The young man tremblingly recited the lines he had memorized in advance.

The ladies in the audience didn't seem to be impressed by the young man, and whispers and contemptuous laughter came from several corners.

"They're using a child to fool people this year?" A noblewoman fanned herself with a folding fan with disdain, and said with an unpleasant expression, "It feels worse than last year's."

The fat woman next to her was yawning, obviously not interested in the boy on the stage, and even a little sleepy.

That's right, after the auction begins, the slaves and items that appear on the stage will be commodities measured by gold coins.

Although this young man is good-looking, each of them present here has three husbands and four sons, and they have collected the most beautiful women from all over the country to fill their harem.

If this young man were to be sold somewhere else, or sold at a lower-end auction house, he might be a sought-after item, but he is totally unworthy of being put here.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the boy's voice became more and more trembling. As the woman with the ring glared at him, he actually forgot the rest of the words.

For a moment, the boy stood there at a loss, tears almost falling from his eyes.

The woman with the ring obviously didn't care about the boy's tears and made a throat-slitting gesture from the audience.

The young man was frightened and turned pale. In order to save his life, he had to choke with tears in his eyes and said, "Next...please...please allow me...to introduce the first lot of the night..."

Following the young man's voice, the curtain behind the stage slowly opened.

A crystal lamp emitting a purple glow is placed on the table, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

The lamp body is made of glittering scales, just like agate pearls inlaid on it.

Mermaids are rare to begin with. Not only can eating their flesh and blood increase one's lifespan, but their other organs are extremely rare treasures. Purple scales like these are unheard of.
