Dragon Soaring Auction House

"Of course, no problem."

Ye Bai nodded.

The beautiful woman before him clearly wasn't short of money.

The Lightning Cat would be well cared for in her home.

Sophia stroked the Lightning Cat's little head. Though it was soft, it did not give her that heart-fluttering feeling.

When she accidentally touched the back of Da Hui's hand, that softness, like cotton candy, sent a powerful current shooting down her spine.

Her whole body went numb and tingling. She had found it—the feeling of her heart racing.

Da Hui grinned, making Sophia feel as though she were bathed in a spring breeze. She lowered her head, and her ears flushed red without her realizing it.

"The young lady is overjoyed."

Butler wiped the glimmering tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke with a touched expression.

Sophia gave Butler a meaningful look, and he immediately handed over an unregistered Black Card.

"There are one million Alliance Coins on this card. We'll buy this Lightning Cat."

Ye Bai had just wanted to shake his head and say it was too much, but Butler seemed to see through his thoughts. "Shop owner, my young lady hasn't been this happy in a long time."

"This little money may not be much, but it is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

"Buy some tasty food for the Pet Beasts in your Breeding House."

With things having been said to this extent, Ye Bai felt that refusing it would be rather tactless.

Sophia turned around and left while holding the Lightning Cat. Butler followed close behind, and the whole group departed in a grand procession.

"My apologies for the poor reception. The sign hasn't even gone up yet, and I've already welcomed a major customer."

Before Ye Bai could finish his sigh, he was interrupted by a burst of urgent barking.

"Woof woof woof."

"Why is there suddenly the sound of a puppy in the room?" Ye Bai asked with a strange expression.

The sound came from exactly where Da Hui was standing. Da Hui lowered his head, not daring to meet Ye Bai's eyes. He even backed up with his huge body, trying to block Ye Bai's view.

!!! A bad feeling immediately rose in Ye Bai's heart.

"Da Hui! Let me see what Pet Beast you picked up again!!!"

Ye Bai's furious voice echoed through the Breeding House.

At the old site of Fangyuan Pet House, Steward Wang had already spent an entire morning guarding loneliness. He Qingyuan had long since grown impatient and left early.

Before leaving, he had specifically instructed Steward Wang to record Ye Bai's annoyed and ashamed appearance.

Whether Ye Bai was annoyed or not, he did not know. In any case, Steward Wang was quite annoyed.

There was no air conditioning in this rundown house, and the ventilation was terrible. After staying for only one morning, Steward Wang was drenched in sweat. He was practically starting to sour.

Just as his mood had reached the height of irritation, every big and small matter required him to make the decisions, and his phone rang nonstop.

Steward Wang let out his 10,086th sigh. This household would fall apart without me.

Even his butt had grown tired of waiting. It was so hot that he wanted to run away from home.

Forget it, I'll wait a little longer. If I fail to complete the task, that petty-minded madman will say he wants to drag me, his steward, down to the grave with him again.

Meanwhile, Ye Bai appeared outside Dragon Soaring Auction House, holding a recruitment notice that stated they were hiring a temporary cleaner.

The Information System had mentioned Dragon Soaring Auction House many times and had also revealed how to enter it.

Ye Bai felt it was necessary to take a look at Dragon Soaring Auction House.

After all, the system would not shoot arrows without a target.

Relying on his many years of rich experience cleaning alongside Da Hui, Ye Bai honorably succeeded in applying for a cleaner's job at Dragon Soaring Auction House.

Meals were included but lodging was not. He had to maintain cleanliness during the auction, for five hundred Alliance Coins a day.

If a customer bought a rough stone and needed it cut open on the spot, he would also be responsible for cleaning up the shattered fragments.

And what Ye Bai had his sights set on was precisely the job of cleaning up the rough stones. He wanted to obtain the Sun Crystal hidden within them.

After he was hired as a cleaner, the auction house would begin its auction that very night.

This was his best chance to seize the Sun Crystal.

By evening, Jiaying City's powerful and wealthy figures began streaming into the resplendently decorated Dragon Soaring Auction House.

At the entrance of Dragon Soaring Auction House stood a gigantic golden dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

It was enough to show Dragon Soaring Auction House's wealth and foundations.

At eight in the evening, the auction officially began.

A host dressed in a red suit and wearing a Smiling Mask appeared.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and distinguished guests, good evening. I am your host."

"I will be hosting tonight's auction."

"I'm sure none of you are unfamiliar with tonight's auction items."

"So I won't waste any more words. Let us get straight to the point."

The host clapped his hands. A beautiful young woman in a high-slit cheongsam walked up carrying a tray.

"The first item up for auction is a Unicorn Demon Wolf cub."

"Our hunters discovered it before it had even opened its eyes."

"It was a Pet Beast obtained only after a fierce battle."

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand Alliance Coins."

"Each bid increase must be no less than ten thousand Alliance Coins."

Upon hearing the host's words, the guests' eyes blazed with fire.

The Unicorn Demon Wolf was a Tier 4 Pet Beast. Unless something unexpected happened, its offspring could also reach Tier 4.

If it were properly raised, the Lineage would gain another Tier 4 powerhouse.

"I bid one hundred and ten thousand Alliance Coins!" someone shouted.

"Poor bastard, only one hundred and ten thousand Alliance Coins? I bid one hundred and twenty thousand!" someone else said disdainfully, rolling his eyes.

Very quickly, the Unicorn Demon Wolf cub's price soared to five hundred thousand Alliance Coins. However, once it reached that price, the momentum of the increases slowed greatly.

The Unicorn Demon Wolf was good, but once it passed five hundred thousand, one had to consider whether the premium was becoming too severe.

After all, raising a Unicorn Demon Wolf cub required consuming quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

In the end, the Unicorn Demon Wolf was bought by an old man for five hundred and fifty thousand Alliance Coins.

"Excellent, a splendid opening. Everyone is very enthusiastic."

"Now, please bring out the next auction item."

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the second half of the auction.

At this point, the highly anticipated rough stone was finally brought out.

"Greetings, everyone."

"This is a rough stone that our Dragon Soaring Auction House searched hard to find."

"Judging from its outward appearance, there are valuable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside."

"But we do not know exactly what they are. After all, only by personally cutting open a rough stone and revealing the answer yourself can you feel the exhilarating thrill of plunging peaks and rising valleys."

"The starting bid is Ten Million Alliance Coins, and each increase must be no less than one million Alliance Coins."

The host finally called out the price.

He Guangda stared excitedly at the enormous rough stone, which weighed five tons.

The rough stone was jagged and strange, yet it possessed a majestic aura. Green moss covered its surface.

"Big Brother, if we buy such a huge rough stone and cut out a treasure from it, our He Family will definitely be able to step out of Jiaying City and open up the vast Yan East Province market."

He Guangda's elder brother, He Guangwei, calmly sipped his tea as he sat in a wheelchair.

He raised his eyebrows at the Appraiser beside him, and the Appraiser immediately understood He Guangwei's meaning.

"President He, we conducted an on-site survey of this rough stone back then as well. It truly is a fine treasure."
