Lin Ziyi looked somewhat taken aback at the triangular-eared pseudo cat-girl with her arrogant expression.

He absolutely hadn't expected the reception staff at the entrance of such a large auction house to be so snobbish!

Before he could get angry, the Scottish Fold cat-girl beside her immediately reprimanded the triangular-eared cat-girl:

"Sharuǐ, don't be rude! This guest might be attending our auction for the first time and it's normal not to know the rules.

"Even if he doesn't have enough funds, you can't just insult people!"

The triangular-eared cat-girl named "Sharuǐ" sneered:

"Our Meow Meow Auction House is the biggest auction house in Balak City, and we even have the royal family supporting us!

"Coming to an auction without understanding the situation beforehand is a great disrespect to our auction house and the royal family!

"Is it wrong for me to reprimand him? He's just a poor dog, not worth respecting at all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Ziyi felt Tushan Lingling's small hand clench tightly, and a chilling killing intent emanated from her body!

However, Lin Ziyi calmed down at this moment, looked at the snobbish Sharuǐ, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"That is indeed my fault. I'll go over there to get my financial verification card now."

With that, Lin Ziyi pulled the displeased Tushan Lingling towards the verification window not far away.

Tushan Lingling couldn't help but ask the young man, "Master~ Why didn't you let Lingling kill her directly?"

Lin Ziyi smiled slightly:

"We're not invincible on the Douluo Continent yet, so it's not suitable to be too ostentatious.

"Besides, killing her directly would be too easy for her. I have a way to make her wish she were dead!"

As he spoke, Lin Ziyi had already arrived at the financial verification area.

The receptionist at the verification window glanced lazily at the two of them and asked indifferently:

"How much funds do you have?"

Lin Ziyi took out three hundred Gold Soul Coins from the Misty Treasure Vault, and two fist-sized money bags landed with a "thud" in front of the receptionist!

The rude action immediately sobered the receptionist up a bit.

Seeing the two money bags, each the size of a white steamed bun, the experienced staff member immediately realized that the number of Soul Coins was definitely no less than two hundred!

If they were all Gold Soul Coins, then this young man in front of them would definitely be at least a high-level VIP of the gold tier!

Most of the guests who usually attended the auction were of the bronze and silver tiers.

While such guests were also very distinguished, seeing too many of them would make them seem ordinary.

Even the disciples of top noble families generally wouldn't spend more than 50 Gold Soul Coins a day.

The amount of Gold Soul Coins they carried with them would certainly not be as much as the young man in front of them.

But this young man in front of him casually produced no less than two hundred Gold Soul Coins... his background must be extraordinary!

Thinking of this, the female receptionist, who had been listless just moments ago, immediately straightened her body, put on a sweet smile, and showed no trace of her previous laziness.

She opened the money bags and, upon seeing them filled with Gold Soul Coins, her eyes reflected a covetous gleam.

As expected, a big spender!!

She just weighed them with her hand and confirmed that there were three hundred Gold Soul Coins in total in the money bags!

Even the distinguished guest Count Yunting, who frequently visited the auction house, was only a silver-tier guest.

This person in front of her was comparable to those dukes and marquises who possessed immense wealth...

The receptionist's gaze swept over the young man and the fox-woman's clothes, which were not low-end but not particularly luxurious, thinking that indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover!

From now on, no matter what kind of guest she faced, she had to treat them seriously.

Who knew that someone who looked poor and dressed simply might be a low-key high-ranking official or a great noble!

Taking the golden card from the receptionist, Lin Ziyi put away his Gold Soul Coins and walked back towards the auction house entrance.

The triangular-eared cat-girl Sharuǐ, not far away, saw the two of them walk back and continued her previous sarcastic remarks:

"Yo yo yo~ You actually came back, you must just be an ordinary bronze dog, right?"

Bronze dog? Heh, in my past life, I was at least a Star Glory!

Lin Ziyi thought to himself, deliberately exposing a corner of the gold verification card in his hand.

Sharuǐ's gaze was immediately attracted by a glint of gold between the young man's fingers, and her expression changed slightly.

Even though her heart was beating uncontrollably faster, Sharuǐ still maintained a nonchalant expression:

"So what if it's a g-gold verification card? It's not like I haven't seen one..."

Lin Ziyi walked directly up to Sharuǐ, held out the golden card in his hand, and asked with a smile:

"Miss Snobbish, may I go in now?"

The Scottish Fold cat-girl beside them saw the card and her face changed drastically. She secretly rejoiced that her attitude hadn't been too bad earlier.

She quickly made an inviting gesture to the young man:

"VIPs, please come in! I shall escort you to the special VIP lounge right away!"

Lin Ziyi took a Gold Soul Coin from his pocket and tossed it to the Scottish Fold cat-girl.

"Your service attitude is excellent. This is for you."

Upon receiving the Gold Soul Coin, the Scottish Fold cat-girl was overjoyed!

A single Gold Soul Coin like this was equivalent to her entire month's salary!

Seeing this, a hint of sourness immediately welled up in Sharuǐ's heart.

Although she had a good relationship with the auction house owner and maintained ambiguous connections with many noble gentlemen, she didn't particularly care about one Gold Soul Coin.

But seeing that others had something she didn't, she felt uncomfortable!

Just as she was feeling displeased, Lin Ziyi suddenly looked at her. "Miss Snob, you can take me to the private room."

Hearing this, Sharuǐ's eyes widened, and her expression turned arrogant again.

"I won't! So what if he's a gold VIP? I've slept with diamond VIPs before. I don't even care about mere gold VIPs!"

Lin Ziyi laughed heartily and immediately retorted, "Oh really? If you can sleep with diamond VIPs, why are you still working as a hostess here?

"Could it be that they got tired of you and kicked you to the curb like a blow-up doll?"

As if her sore spot had been poked, Sharuǐ's face instantly turned extremely ugly!

But Lin Ziyi didn't give her a chance to get angry. He suddenly pulled out 10 Gold Soul Coins from his pocket.

"Take me there, and these 10 Gold Soul Coins are yours.

"Of course, if you're not willing, you can let your colleague have this opportunity!"

If one Gold Soul Coin wasn't enough to sway Sharuǐ, who had served great nobles with her body.

Then 10 Gold Soul Coins were equivalent to nearly a year's salary!

Even she couldn't help but be tempted.

Just as she was secretly struggling with her decision, the Scottish Fold cat-girl beside her stepped forward and volunteered.

"My lord, please allow me to escort you. I don't need 10 Gold Soul Coins; 5 will be enough~"

Seeing her colleague, whom she usually looked down on, trying to steal her job, Sharuǐ immediately panicked and pushed the other girl aside.

"Get lost! I haven't refused yet. It's not your turn to be so eager!"

Saying that, Sharuǐ looked back at the young man in front of her and forced herself to say, "You... Guest, please follow me."

Lin Ziyi followed Sharuǐ, who was clearly displeased, into the Meow Meow Auction House. A sly smile of triumph quietly appeared on his handsome face
