The three of them muddled through the next two days like that. Every night, Qian Renxue would sneak into Su Chen's arms.

Other than going all the way, they had basically done everything they should and shouldn't have done.

Star Luo City.

The Temir Auction House was packed to the brim today, overflowing with people. Prominent figures from all walks of life had arrived to take part in the auction.

Among the more renowned attendees were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and the Star Luo Imperial Family.

But what tempted everyone most was that the second private room did not belong to the Star Luo Imperial Family!

Instead, it bore a rather taboo name—Angel!

One had to know that this was the inherited martial soul of the former dynasty. Who could be so bold?

Could they be remnants of the former dynasty?

Everyone discussed it fervently, offering all sorts of theories. Every bizarre explanation imaginable came up, and it even made the top trending topic.

Led by a host of maidservants, Su Chen entered the auction hall in high profile with the two women.

Su Chen headed for a private room on the second floor. Private Room One was located at the very center, offering the best view in the entire venue, while Private Room Two was right beside it and equally excellent.

There were only seven private rooms on the spacious second floor, supposedly built to commemorate the great achievements of the Shrek Seven Devils.

The two Hundred-Thousand-Year immortal herbs had made everyone green with envy. They were determined to get their hands on them!

Suddenly, a massive explosion rang out. Noises and shouts came from all directions, as though the entirety of Star Luo City had erupted into uproar.

Having removed her veil, Hu Liena wanted to go out and join the excitement. With a whoosh, she was about to run outside to see what had happened.

Su Chen said calmly, "Sister Nana, if you don't want to be eaten by a big tiger, don't go out."

The instant Dai Mubai appeared, Su Chen sensed the aura of a god, though it was extremely faint.

Hearing that, Hu Liena instantly lost interest. That *hole loved putting on airs. He was absolutely disgusting.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly as well. Usually preferring peace and quiet, she frowned at the overwhelming noise.

At the entrance of the Temir Auction House.

Dai Mubai made a dazzling entrance, glowing all over with golden light. Ten soul rings represented his status as a god, while two youthful and beautiful twins lay in his arms.

Ever since becoming a god, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had gradually drifted apart. That was simply human nature. After discovering that Dai Mubai was always fooling around, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer be bothered to manage him, though she no longer spoke to him either.

Dai Mubai stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.

He was lustful.

No one stayed eighteen forever, but the girls in Dai Mubai's arms were forever eighteen—same familiar taste, same familiar formula.

The women all looked on enviously. To actually be held in a god's embrace...

A god's casual reward alone could let these women live carefree lives for several lifetimes.

His white cloak looked especially dazzling in the night, as though Dai Mubai were the master of this place.

His handsome face entranced the women of Star Luo City. If one had to ask why, the only answer was, "Simply because you're too beautiful."

Amid the crowd's cheers and excitement, the War God Dai Mubai slowly entered Private Room One.

The auction house was enormous, easily capable of holding several thousand people. Everyone gradually entered, and this unprecedented auction was packed to the last seat!

Under a slowly descending beam of light at the center of the auction hall, a woman with an exceptional figure and appearance appeared on stage.

Although the woman in the red cheongsam was not as seductive as Hu Liena, her sultry voice was still highly alluring to many of the men present.

Hu Liena looked disdainfully at the woman on stage. She was far inferior to herself. If she unleashed her full charm, every man here would fall at her feet.

Su Chen remained very calm. After all, every woman by his side was better than the one on stage.

Before long, the auction began under the woman's skillful lead. With every smile and gesture, the auction items on stage quickly disappeared.

However, everyone knew that the earlier items were merely appetizers, with the main event still to come. Thus, they showed little interest. Even now, none of the seven private rooms above had made a bid.

As time passed, Su Chen finally spotted something he liked. It was an artwork—a painting that looked quite nice.

At that moment, the woman's seductive voice rang out again. "Everyone, you will definitely be interested in this auction item!"

The woman smiled at the crowd and slowly introduced it. "A stunning work of art, created by the continent's greatest artist—Ji Chaojin."

Su Chen smiled. "Xue'er, this painting is pretty good."

Qian Renxue took a look and said softly, "It really is quite lovely. I like it."

"Then we'll buy it!" Su Chen said with a smile.

"Ji Chaojin's work starts at ten million. Everyone, please begin bidding!" the woman said with a smile, then shifted her gaze toward the private rooms on the second floor.

She knew very well that the seven people above were the true main contenders!

Sure enough, the moment she finished speaking, Private Room Three—the Clear Sky Sect!

A deep voice came from the room as it began bidding. "Fifteen million!"

As the sect of Tang San, the Asura God and Sea God, the Clear Sky Sect had flourished without hindrance in recent years.

Though it was not necessarily the wealthiest, it was certainly the most prestigious. Even Dai Mubai sometimes gave it some face, let alone the other sects.

The auction hall fell silent. No one dared to bid anymore—that was Lord Tang San's sect.

Who would dare?

A trace of dejection appeared in the woman's eyes. Under normal circumstances, this artwork would have sold for thirty million without issue. But now that the Clear Sky Sect had made a bid, no one dared raise the price.

Suddenly!

A young man's voice came from private room number two. "Fifteen million and one cent!"

Gasp!

The previously clamorous auction hall instantly fell silent. Not a single person dared to speak!

This was outright provocation!

He had only added one cent.

The silent auction hall immediately became noisy again as everyone speculated about the identity of the person in private room number two. He actually dared compete for something the Clear Sky Sect wanted!

The woman onstage was stunned for a moment, but this situation was extremely favorable for the auction house. The auction hammer in her hand came down.

Her seductive voice rang out again. "Fifteen million and one cent, going once!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Clear Sky Sect in private room number three raised the bid again. The middle-aged man inside said once more, "Twenty million."

The woman was immediately delighted and hurriedly struck the hammer. "Twenty million, going once!"
