I Want to Save Her

She looked around at the people with a terrified expression, much like a startled cat.

Most of the men at the scene had their gazes fixed on the cat-woman.

The cat-woman's figure could simply be described as perfect.

With ample breasts and wide hips, her skin was as white as jade, her lips red and teeth white.

The pitiful, helpless look she wore before them made one unable to resist the urge to protect her.

The host introduced, "We captured this woman half a year ago when our auction house traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest."

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

"We invited experts to examine her, but even they didn't know what was going on."

"The final conclusion was that it is a Martial Soul mutation."

"As you can all see, this cat-woman's figure and appearance are top-tier; if you bought her home, wouldn't it be nights of endless pleasure?"

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

Many of the merchants in the seats were practically popping their eyes out.

They began to bid against one another incessantly.

"I bid one hundred and ten thousand!"

"You think you can buy such a top-tier treasure for one hundred and ten thousand? Are you dreaming?! I bid one hundred and fifty thousand!"

"I bid three hundred thousand!"

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

In his view, those carnal matters were only temporary; only strength was eternal.

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

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

"And in my eyes, there is only room for one person."

Tang San stared straight at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu, however, felt somewhat annoyed by Tang San.

Back at Notting Academy, he had constantly tried to make her his younger sister.

Xiao Wu just felt that this person was sick back then; couldn't they just be friends? He had to make her his sister.

Over these years, Tang San had never given up.

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

She always felt that person was somewhat familiar, yet no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall who it was.

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

She didn't look at Tang San, but stared straight at the cat-woman in the cage.

Xiao Wu didn't think it was a Martial Soul mutation, because she sensed the aura of her own kind from that cat-woman.

Perhaps she was the same as her.

It was only because there were no Title Douluo present at the time that no one had discovered it.

As for why Gu Rong hadn't spoken up, the reason remained unknown.

Xiao Wu's expression appeared somewhat sorrowful.

Looking at the cat-woman in the cage below, she thought of the time after she lost her mother, when she said goodbye to Da Ming and Er Ming and came to the human world all by herself.

She wanted to help that cat-woman, both out of pity and because she was the same as her.

But Xiao Wu herself had no money at all.

If that cat-woman were bought by those lust-driven men at the venue, the consequences would be easy to imagine.

She suddenly thought of Tang San.

Tang San should have some money.

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

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Tang San was instantly energized.

He said with some excitement, "What is it, Xiao Wu? Does this mean you've agreed?!" Tang San's heart was beating quite fast.

At first, he had truly wanted Xiao Wu to be his sister, as his father had left him at the time.

Lonely, he had wanted to find a companion.

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

But gradually, as Xiao Wu grew more and more beautiful over the years, he realized his feelings for her had changed, and he was no longer satisfied with the relationship of sworn siblings.

Even though Xiao Wu had yet to accept his request to be her brother.

However, he was confident. After all, having lived two lifetimes, it was impossible for him not to understand the mind of a young girl.

After all, in his previous life, aside from researching hidden weapons, his only other hobby was women.

It was just that his primary task right now was to become stronger.

Seeing Tang San so agitated, Xiao Wu immediately said, "Why don't we buy her?"

"Buy her? That cat-girl?" Tang San asked, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Yes, she is so pitiful."

Tang San wore an incredulous expression: "Why buy her? Her current status is that of a slave; buying her won't be of any help to us."

"Besides, the price won't be cheap."

Xiao Wu turned around, no longer looking at Tang San.

She simply disliked how Tang San based everything on his own interests, regardless of the situation.

She knew exactly how much money Gangzi had secretly stuffed into Tang San's hands behind the scenes.

Even if it wasn't millions, there was at least five hundred thousand.

"As long as you buy her, I might consider being your little sister."

Tang San hesitated; after all, the money Grandmaster gave him was meant to be saved for future cultivation.

He looked at Xiao Wu's budding figure and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine!"

Xiao Wu thought to herself, I only said I would consider it, not that I definitely would be your little sister.

Tang San had about 550,000 Soul Coins on him; buying her shouldn't be a problem, right?

Tang San called out his bid: "Four hundred thousand!"

The host said, "This gentleman bids four hundred thousand. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid?"

The people in the hall stopped one after another.

They sighed, not expecting that they would lose the chance to own such a top-tier item.

It wasn't that they didn't have the money, but spending four hundred thousand on someone just to warm the bed was simply foolish; to them, it wasn't worth it.

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

That was fine, too; it saved him quite a bit of money.

"Four hundred thousand, going once."

"Four hundred thousand, going twice."

Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the gavel, 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 clearly who that person was.

"Yo-ho, it's the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, the Purple Demon Eye."

Ever since he awakened the Candle Dragon Emperor, he had discovered that his spiritual power had grown significantly stronger.

Furthermore, he seemed to possess an ability similar to the Purple Demon Eye.

Golden light ignited in Ye Yuan's eyes, meeting Tang San's gaze.

In that very instant, Tang San felt a total suppression of his spiritual power.

"Ah!" He cried out in pain.

He was used to using the Purple Demon Eye to spy on others, but he hadn't expected to run into a real opponent this time.

"Hmph, Tang San, you think you're the only one with ocular techniques?"

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

With this bid, he had staked almost his entire net worth.

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on Tang San, so he said, "I bid one million!"

The entire venue was in an uproar. One million, just for a bed-warmer???

They only thought Ye Yuan was crazy to spend one million to buy a person.

Damn it! Tang San didn't know why, but he felt that today was particularly unlucky.

He only had five hundred and fifty thousand on him; he had nothing more.

Just as he was about to apologize to Xiao Wu, he noticed Xiao Wu was about to head upstairs and immediately blocked her, saying, "Xiao Wu, what are you going to do?"

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

"Tell me about it; maybe I can help?"

Xiao Wu bypassed him and said, "I'm going to find that buyer and see if there's any possibility of saving that girl."

"Xiao Wu, everyone in that private box is either wealthy or noble."

"Why must you bother with that woman? She is just a slave; to put it bluntly, she is a spirit beast, a mere animal."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Wu was instantly enraged. She had not expected this Tang San to be such a hypocrite.

In the past, she had once asked Tang San how he viewed the relationship between spirit beasts and humans.

At the time, he had spoken with high-sounding rhetoric: "Humans and spirit beasts should be equal, it is just that we need to hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings, and some spirit beasts also need to eat humans."
