Zhong Shenxiu stood at the door, looking at this scene, his brows moved slightly.
He didn't go in immediately.
Just stood there, staring at Gu Yue with those light golden vertical pupils.
Gu Yue seemed to be aware of that gaze, opened his eyes, and met Zhong Shenxiu's gaze.
"What's wrong?" she asked, with a hint of lazy confusion in her voice.
Zhong Shenxiu was silent for two seconds.
Then he walked into the box and sat down on another sofa.
He did not lie down like Gu Yue, but sat upright, with his back straight and his hands naturally placed on his knees.
Gu Yue turned his head and looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you so nervous?" she said, "There is no one else here."
Zhong Shenxiu has no answer.
He just looked at the auction table below, the light below reflected in his pair of light golden vertical pupils.
Gu Yue doesn't care about his silence either.
She withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes again, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Lying on the soft sofa, feeling every inch of her body's muscles gradually relaxing, she suddenly felt very comfortable.
What's more important--
The piece Soul Tool she promised to take for Zhong Shenxiu is the fifth piece in the opening scene.
Soul Guidance Energy Conversion Storage Device, level five Soul Tool.
The starting price is 140,000 Federal Coin.
140,000.
For ordinary people, this may be a huge sum of money.
But for Gu Yue who owns Federal Black Card--
What is this?
Federal Black Card, that is Federation's highest level of credit certificate, which can only be owned by a small group of people who truly stand at the top of society. Cardholders can withdraw up to five million Federal Coin of credit at any Federation bank at any time, and there is no interest or repayment period.
Gu Yue is certainly not one of the "few people".
But she has a way to get the card.
As the leader of Soul Beast Organization, most of what she wants can be easily obtained.
A mere 140,000.
What can I get in exchange for 140,000?
It can win the favor of Zhong Shenxiu, a little dragon with mysterious origins.
In exchange for a chance to get close to him.
It would give her an opportunity to get to know him better.
Gu Yue Thinking of this, my face suddenly felt a little hot.
She raised her hand and put the back of her hand against her cheek.
It was indeed very hot.
What are you thinking about?
She secretly opened her eyes and glanced at Zhong Shenxiu from the corner of her eye.
Zhong Shenxiu was still sitting there, looking straight ahead, seemingly not noticing anything strange about her at all.
Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
But then she felt a little disappointed.
This man is really...
She closed her eyes again, but the heat on her face did not subside so easily.
Is this... an old dragon eating young grass?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Gu Yue felt his heart beat a little faster.
Gu Yue suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
She turned her head and looked at Zhong Shenxiu.
Zhong Shenxiu seemed to feel her gaze, and turned his head slightly, and those light golden vertical pupils fell on her.
The two looked at each other for two seconds.
Zhong Shenxiu tilted his head, a trace of doubt appearing in his light golden vertical pupils.
"What's wrong?"
His voice was very flat, so flat that it seemed as if he was just asking an ordinary question. But it was this flatness, coupled with his angular but childish face, and his eyes that were no longer aggressive at the moment, but rather blank--
Gu Yue felt as if his heart had been lightly hit by something.
Her face turned red, and she turned her head away suddenly as if she had been burned, leaving only Zhong Shenxiu with a graceful profile and the back of her head.
"Nothing."
Her voice was muffled, with a hint of panic that could not be concealed.
Zhong Shenxiu raised his eyebrows.
He stared at Gu Yue's side face for two seconds, looking at the blush that spread from her cheeks to her ears, looking at her posture that was obviously avoiding something, and a thought suddenly came to his mind -
This bitch keeps teasing me!
This idea came out of nowhere, but the more Zhong Shenxiu thought about it, the more it made sense.
This Gu Yue has been doing strange things since he was at the entrance of the college. First he stood there in a daze, then he almost jumped up in fright when he tapped his shoulder. Then he looked at him with that strange look, and now he blushed and turned his head.
What on earth does she want to do?
Zhong Shenxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous light flashed in those light golden vertical pupils.
But the next second, this light disappeared without a trace.
Because he remembered his current situation.
Later, Gu Yue will need money to help him buy Soul Tool.
Soul Guidance Energy Conversion Storage Device, level five Soul Tool, starting price is 140,000 Federal Coin.
140,000.
Zhong Shenxiu certainly has some money on him. In the nine years since he was reborn, he has not forgotten to accumulate some capital in reality while fighting in the dream. But all the money added up is only twenty to thirty thousand Federal Coin, which is still far from 140,000.
What's more, the final transaction price of that Soul Tool will definitely not be just 140,000.
At auctions, competition often drives up prices.
If someone really raises the price by then, we may not be able to get it for 140,000 yuan.
So--
He also needs Gu Yue.
She also needs the Federal Black Card in her hand.
Thinking of this, Zhong Shenxiu withdrew his gaze and looked back at the auction table below.
Forget it.
What's wrong with giving people money and efforts and giving them a second look?
Anyway, I won't lose any meat.
Zhong Shenxiu comforted himself in this way, trying to ignore the vague discomfort in his heart.
And from an angle that he couldn't see, Gu Yue was secretly observing his reaction with his peripheral vision.
Seeing Zhong Shenxiu withdraw his gaze and become expressionless again, Gu Yue suddenly felt a surge of complex emotions in his heart.
I'm a little glad that he didn't continue to ask.
I felt a little disappointed, because he gave up questioning so easily.
How come this little dragon has no curiosity at all?
Gu Yue cursed in his heart, but the heat on his face slowly subsided.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
It can't be like this.
she told herself.
You are Gu Yue, you are the leader of Soul Beast Organization, and you are Silver Dragon King who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. How can you be disturbed by a nine-year-old child?
Calm down.
Calm down.
Gu Yue Close your eyes and silently circulate the elemental power in your body, using the coolness of the ice element to cool yourself down.
After a few breaths, she opened her eyes. The blush on her face had completely disappeared, and she returned to her usual cold and noble appearance.
Only the tips of her ears still had a hint of pink.
Gu Yue pretended to be nonchalant and lay back on the sofa, looking down at the auction table.
And just then--
On the auction stage, the lights suddenly became brighter.
A soft beam of light fell from the dome, shrouding the entire auction stage in a warm light. The middle-aged auctioneer who was standing on the stage bowed slightly and stepped aside.
Instead, there was a young woman.
She looked to be in her early twenties and was wearing a well-tailored dark purple dress with a floor-length skirt that perfectly outlined her tall and slender figure.
Her long black hair was rolled up high, revealing a smooth forehead and a slender neck. Her facial features were extremely delicate, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like the waves of autumn water, and she had a well-placed smile on her lips, which neither seemed overly enthusiastic nor indifferent.
She walked onto the auction stage with an elegant and calm step.
