Snake Woman Auction

Duke Luo Ya was furious. He had never expected Hu Yun to dare show herself in Heaven Dou Imperial City again.

She had escaped back then. This time, he would definitely capture her and torture her viciously!

"My lord Duke, that woman is currently staying at Tianhe Hotel. Should we wait until she comes out before making a move? After all, Tianhe Hotel belongs to the Crown Prince."

The minor noble offered a reminder. Duke Luo Ya was neutral among the Empire's eight great dukes and had not supported either side. If he recklessly caused trouble at the Crown Prince's property, it would be tantamount to pushing himself into opposition to the Crown Prince.

Hearing this, Duke Luo Ya calmed down as well. Although Xue Qinghe had only recently become Crown Prince, quite a few nobles supported him, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also rather close to him.

There were even rumors that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master intended to take him as a disciple.

He could not rashly offend the Crown Prince over a woman.

He sat back down in his chair, looked at the minor noble, pondered for a moment, then said,

"I understand. You may leave."

He was merely a viscount. Duke Luo Ya did not think much of him and casually dismissed him.

The man was somewhat stunned. He had delivered all this information, yet not only received no reward, but was simply told to leave.

But before a duke, he could only swallow his resentment and leave obediently, not daring to say another word.

Watching the viscount's retreating back, Duke Luo Ya revealed a disdainful look. He was only a viscount. Being allowed into the duke's residence was already an honor, yet he still wanted a reward? What wishful thinking.

However, that bitch Hu Yun had fled with her daughter back then, and now she had returned to Heaven Dou City. She must have found someone to rely on. This had to be investigated thoroughly.

Duke Luo Ya silently speculated to himself, then summoned a Soul Emperor guard and ordered him to investigate properly.

Tianhe Hotel

Inside the luxurious yet elegant room, Gu Shenggo sat on a soft sofa after finishing his bath, while Hu Yun and her daughter eagerly attended to him. However, Gu Shenggo was already beginning to tire of them.

"Hmm~"

Suddenly, an auction catalogue from the Heaven Dou Auction House on the coffee table caught his attention. Gu Shenggo's Soul Power stirred, drawing it into his hand from afar, and he opened it to browse through it.

It listed over a hundred rare treasures that the Heaven Dou Auction House would auction that evening.

Gu Shenggo paid no attention to most of them. What had he not seen in Spirit Hall? But the final auction item did pique his curiosity.

The final illustration showed only two graceful silhouettes, without revealing their true faces. Yet what surprised Gu Shenggo most was that beneath the waists of those two dark figures were snake tails!

"Snake Women. Interesting."

Gu Shenggo recognized their true nature at a glance. They were a pair of Snake Women whose bodies had changed due to mutated Martial Spirits.

On the Douluo Continent, mutated Martial Spirits causing physical mutations was not all that unusual.

Gu Shenggo had once seen in Spirit Hall's archives that every year, some Soul Masters suffered bodily mutations due to Martial Spirit mutations and were subsequently executed by law enforcement squads dispatched by Spirit Hall.

In Spirit Hall's view, Soul Masters whose bodies had undergone such changes could no longer be called human.

However, such cases almost exclusively occurred among Beast Soul Masters. Tool Soul Masters had none at all.

It could also be called: atavism.

Gu Shenggo set down the auction catalogue, looked at the diligent Hu Yun and Bai Yujie, reached out to stroke their heads, and said softly,

"Get up. Go get dressed up. I'll take you to the auction."

The beautiful mature woman and the beautiful young married woman both looked delighted. They hurriedly rose from the floor and turned to dress themselves up.

Gu Shenggo looked at the image of the Snake Women in the catalogue, hoping they would be worthwhile goods. Then he could gain two more pets.

Women really did take a long time to dress up. It took a full hour before Hu Yun and Bai Yujie were ready.

Hu Yun had braided her hair into a shoulder-length ponytail draped over her left side. Her mature, beautiful face wore light makeup, and the faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes had been concealed with cosmetics. Her plump lips were painted a vivid red, alluring and luscious.

A scarlet slit long dress tightly outlined her voluptuous, graceful figure, its curves full and proud. Her plump legs, clad in matte black stockings, appeared and disappeared beneath the hem, making one want to explore further. She was utterly captivating, brimming with mature charm.

Bai Yujie, meanwhile, was not dressed as flamboyantly as her mother. Her delicate, lovely face wore light makeup, and her lips were a thin, pale pink. A white qipao patterned with roses wrapped around her tall, graceful figure, concealing rather than revealing. Though she seemed covered from head to toe, there was a different kind of temptation to her.

Simply put, she was playing innocent.

The gorgeous, seductive mature beauty and the lovely, pure young married woman each had their own appeal, enough to make anyone covet them.

"Master, do we look good~?"

Hu Yun's beautiful face was full of eagerness as she expectantly asked Gu Shenggo. Over this period, she had sensed that Gu Shenggo was gradually growing tired of them, so she tried every possible way to please him, afraid that he might abandon her and her daughter.

Bai Yujie also looked at Gu Shenggo expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"Not bad."

Gu Shenggo nodded in satisfaction. They truly were not bad—still charming and exquisitely beautiful.

Hearing Gu Shenggo's praise, delight appeared on both their faces, and they nestled into his embrace.

With one woman in each arm, Gu Shenggo wrapped his arms around their soft waists and left the room, heading for the Heaven Dou Auction House.

When they went downstairs and left Tianhe Hotel, they were spotted by the duke's guard who had been keeping watch in the hotel lobby. The guard immediately rose and silently followed behind Gu Shenggo.

Gu Shenggo instantly sensed the duke's guard tailing him, but he did not care. He was only a rat.

More than ten minutes later~

The Heaven Dou Auction House before them covered an enormous area. Its overall color was creamy white, and its broad entrance was semicircular. Four youthful, beautiful girls with fine figures and pleasant faces stood at the door, each wearing a smile as they welcomed every guest entering the auction house.

However, entry into the auction house required bidding qualifications, which Gu Shenggo happened not to possess.

Though he had no bidding qualifications, he could enter as a seller.

Gu Shenggo led Hu Yun and her daughter into the auction house. A maid hurriedly stopped him and asked for his bidding qualifications.

Instead, he casually took out a golden leg Soul Bone. Strands of lightning coiled around it as it emitted a pale golden glow, drawing countless eyes.

The instant the Soul Bone appeared, the nobles about to enter the auction house were all drawn to it. Their gazes fixed upon the golden leg Soul Bone in Gu Shenggo's hand, their faces filled with shock.

It was actually a Soul Bone!

"The 40,000-Year Golden Thunder Electric Roc Left Leg Bone. Auction it for me. I can enter the auction house now, right?"

Gu Shenggo did not care about the Soul Bone at all. To him, such a thing was neither here nor there. Even a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone would only earn a second glance from him.

As for revealing the Soul Bone and attracting unwanted attention, the Book of Solomon would teach them a lesson. Even if they were gods, he would still kill them.

When the surrounding nobles heard that Gu Shenggo intended to auction off a Soul Bone, they were utterly stunned. What a waste of heaven's gifts! If they obtained a Soul Bone, who among them would not fuse with it immediately?

The maid was also dumbfounded, but her professional composure allowed her to quickly recover. She promptly invited Gu Shenggo inside.
