I Want to Save Her

She looked around at the people in terror, like a frightened cat.

Most of the men present had their eyes fixed on the cat girl.

This cat girl's figure could simply be described as perfect.

Full breasts, wide hips, skin as white as jade, red lips, and white teeth.

Her pitiful appearance made people unable to resist the urge to protect her.

The host introduced her. "This woman was captured by our auction house half a year ago during an expedition to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This woman was born with cat ears and a cat tail, unlike us humans."

"We hired experts to appraise her, but even they had no idea what was going on."

"In the end, they concluded that it was a martial soul mutation."

"As you can all see, this cat girl has a top-tier figure and appearance. Buy her home, and wouldn't every night be a night of bliss?"

"The starting bid for this item is one hundred thousand Soul Coins!"

Many of the businessmen in the audience nearly popped their eyes out.

They began bidding against one another without pause.

"I bid one hundred and ten thousand!"

"You think you can buy such a beauty for one hundred and ten thousand? What kind of dream are you having?! I bid one hundred and fifty thousand!"

"I bid three hundred thousand!"

The price continued to climb, while Tang San looked on with disdain.

In his view, matters below the belt were only temporary. Only strength lasted forever.

When the time came, wouldn't he be able to decide whatever he wanted for himself?

Tang San suddenly thought of something and turned to Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, those men are truly vulgar."

"And there is only one person in my eyes."

Tang San stared straight at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was rather annoyed by Tang San.

Back at Notting Academy, he had kept wanting her to become his little sister.

Xiao Wu had only felt that he was sick in the head back then. Couldn't they just be friends? Why did he insist that she become Tang San's little sister?

Tang San had never given up over the years.

The reason Xiao Wu had refused in the past was because there had always been a figure in her mind. Ever since she had been born into this world, that person's figure had appeared in her dreams almost constantly.

She had always felt that person was familiar, yet no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember who it was.

But she knew that person was important to her—more important than her own life.

She did not look at Tang San. She merely stared straight at the cat girl inside the cage.

Xiao Wu did not believe she was a martial soul mutation, because she sensed the aura of one of her own kind from the cat girl.

Perhaps she was the same as Xiao Wu.

It was just that there had been no Title Douluo present at the time, so no one had discovered it.

As for why Gu Rong had not said anything, the reason was unknown.

A trace of sadness appeared on Xiao Wu's face.

Looking at the cat girl in the cage below the stage, she thought of the time after she had lost her mother, when she had bid farewell to Da Ming and Er Ming and come alone to the human world.

She wanted to help the cat girl, both out of pity and because the girl was like her.

But Xiao Wu herself had no money at all.

If the cat girl was bought by one of those lust-driven men in the room, her fate would be easy to imagine.

She suddenly thought of Tang San.

Tang San should have some money.

"Tang San, didn't you want me to be your little sister?" Xiao Wu asked.

The moment Tang San heard that, he perked right up.

He said excitedly, "What is it, Xiao Wu? Have you agreed?!"

His heart began to race.

At first, he had genuinely wanted Xiao Wu to become his little sister, because his father had left back then.

Lonely, he had wanted to find a companion.

That was why he had set his sights on Xiao Wu.

But gradually, Xiao Wu had grown more and more beautiful over the years.

He had also realized that his feelings for Xiao Wu had changed, and he was no longer satisfied with merely being sworn siblings.

Although Xiao Wu had yet to accept his request for him to be her brother.

He was confident. Having lived two lives, there was no way he could fail to understand a little girl's thoughts.

After all, aside from studying hidden weapons in his previous life, his only other hobby had been women.

It was just that his top priority now was becoming stronger.

Seeing Tang San so excited, Xiao Wu immediately said, "How about we buy her?"

"Buy her? That cat girl?" Tang San asked in surprise.

Xiao Wu nodded. "Yes. She's so pitiful."

Tang San wore an incredulous expression. "Why buy her? Her current status is that of a slave. Buying her would be of no help to us at all."

"Besides, she isn't cheap."

Xiao Wu turned away and stopped looking at Tang San.

She simply did not like how Tang San considered everything from the perspective of his own interests, no matter what it was.

She knew that Gangzi had secretly slipped Tang San quite a bit of money.

Not several million, perhaps, but he definitely had more than five hundred thousand.

"As long as you buy her, I can consider becoming your little sister."

Tang San hesitated. After all, the money Grandmaster had given him was meant for future cultivation.

He looked at Xiao Wu's already-developing figure, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine!"

I only said I'd consider it, not that I would definitely become his little sister.

Tang San had around five hundred and fifty thousand Soul Coins on him. Buying her should not be a problem, right?

Tang San called out, "Four hundred thousand!"

The host said, "This gentleman bids four hundred thousand. Is there anyone offering more?"

The people below the stage all stopped bidding.

They sighed. They had not expected to lose the chance to possess such a beauty.

It was not that they lacked money, but spending four hundred thousand on someone solely to warm their bed was simply idiotic. To them, it was unnecessary.

Tang San secretly rejoiced. He had thought those men would continue bidding against him, but he had not expected them to give up just like that.

Fine. This would save him quite a bit of money.

"Four hundred thousand, going once."

"Four hundred thousand, going twice."

Just as the auction host was about to bring down the hammer, a voice came from the VIP room upstairs.

"I bid four hundred and fifty thousand!"

Tang San immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

"Purple Demon Eye!" Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, wanting to see who that person was.

"Oh? The Tang Sect's secret art, the Purple Demon Eye."

Ever since he had awakened the Candle Dragon Emperor, Ye Yuan had discovered that his spiritual power had become much stronger.

And it seemed that he had gained an ability similar to the Purple Demon Eye as well.

Golden light flashed in Ye Yuan's eyes as he met Tang San's gaze.

In that instant, Tang San felt completely suppressed in terms of spiritual power.

"Ah!" He cried out in pain.

He was used to peeping at others with the Purple Demon Eye. He had not expected to run into an opponent this time.

"Hmph, Tang San, do you think you're the only one with an eye technique?"

"Damn it, I bid five hundred and fifty thousand."

This bid nearly used up all of his wealth.

Ye Yuan could not be bothered to waste words with Tang San, so he said, "I bid one million!"

The entire venue erupted. One million, just for someone to warm his bed???

They only felt that Ye Yuan had gone mad, actually spending one million to buy a person.

Damn it! Tang San did not know why, but he felt that nothing had gone his way today.

He only had five hundred and fifty thousand on him. He did not have any more than that.

Just as he was about to apologize to Xiao Wu.

He saw Xiao Wu preparing to head upstairs and immediately stopped her. "Xiao Wu, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Wu said angrily, "What I do is none of your business."

"Tell me. Maybe I can help?"

Xiao Wu walked around him and said, "I'm going to find that buyer and see whether there's any chance of saving that girl."

"Xiao Wu, anyone in that private room is either rich or powerful."

"Why do you insist on getting involved with that woman? She's just a slave. To put it bluntly, she's a soul beast—a beast."

The moment Xiao Wu heard that, she became furious. She had not expected Tang San to be so good at pretending.

She had once asked Tang San how he viewed soul beasts and humans.

At the time, he had said righteously, "Humans and soul beasts should be equal. It's just that we need to kill soul beasts to obtain soul rings, while some soul beasts need to eat humans."
