Is Shopping What Brings Happiness, or...?

Qing Mo was a little curious.

"Hmm! Those everyday items that were so common on Blue Star before I transmigrated. There's nothing special about them! System, are you messing with me?"

"Keep looking."

"Balenciaga? High-slit cheongsams? High heels? Bikinis?"

"Pleated skirts! White shirts! Bunny girl outfits! Nurses! Flight attendants! OL outfits! Maid outfits! Lolita dresses! Evening gowns!"

"A lifetime of overtime leaves the heart lonely; I won't rest until I wear black stockings."

"The System understands me."

"Tch, of course."

Qing Mo turned back to stare at Liu Yurou, his gaze sweeping from head to toe as he began considering which outfit to make her wear first.

"Why is Master looking at me like that?"

Liu Yurou felt somewhat uneasy under Qing Mo's gaze, as though she were being watched by some ancient ferocious beast!

After arriving in Purple Frost City and learning that the Auction House would be held tomorrow, Qing Mo deliberately changed his appearance and wandered around Purple Frost City.

"This place is much more prosperous than Liang City. There are far fewer mortals here, and the great families here are also somewhat stronger than those in Liang City."

"Yes, Master. This is the third-largest city in the Luotian Dynasty of the Southern Border. The Luotian Dynasty is the greatest power in the entire Southern Border."

"However, because the Southern Border has few precious resources, the Luotian Dynasty's influence only ranks near the bottom across the entire Haoyun Continent."

Liu Yurou softly explained this to Qing Mo.

"Have you heard? The Duan Nian Palace Saintess from the Western Sea will also come to Purple Frost City tomorrow for the Auction House!"

"It won't just be Duan Nian Palace from the Western Sea. The Mingyang Sect from the Eastern Wasteland and the First Prince of our Luotian Dynasty will be coming too."

"Some major families will also send people. I think they must be here for the final item, the Enlightenment Pill!"

"I think so too. This is an elixir refined by Master Wu, a seventh-grade alchemist. Since he has a good relationship with the auction house, he was willing to let them auction it for him."

Qing Mo and Liu Yurou found an inn and quietly listened to this information.

"Well, well, a peerless beauty even this young master has never seen before!"

An unwelcome voice rang out.

The moment everyone heard that voice, they knew it was once again Lin Wenjie, the young master of the Lin Family, Purple Frost City's foremost great family, trying to seize some woman!

"Kid, that little beauty beside you isn't bad. This young master wants her.

This young master is in a good mood today, so I'll reward you with these two high-grade spirit stones. You can get lost.

This young master wants to have some fun with her!"

Lin Wenjie tossed two high-grade spirit stones before Qing Mo and spoke smugly.

He had reached the early Void Reversion Realm before even turning thirty, making him one of Purple Frost City's outstanding young talents.

He had already examined the cultivation of these two and found not a trace of spiritual power.

To be safe, he had even transmitted a message to Elder Wang, the hidden guard, asking him to investigate them. He likewise found no trace of spiritual power.

Elder Wang was at the middle Spirit Refining Realm, only slightly weaker than his father. Even in Purple Frost City, he was considered a notable expert.

"You really are a mouse licking a cat—looking for trouble! You even dared to harass her."

Liu Yurou forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart. She was currently a maid, and without her master's command, she did not dare make decisions on her own.

"You can tolerate even this? Go do whatever you want!"

"You want to play, right? This young lady will play with you properly."

Liu Yurou glanced at Lin Wenjie. Other than Qing Mo, no one present saw how she made her move.

Two seconds later, Lin Wenjie collapsed to the floor. All five of his limbs had been severed.

"How dare you harm my young master!"

Seeing his young master in such a state, Elder Wang roared and rushed out from the shadows, channeling all his spiritual power as he swore to kill Liu Yurou here.

Before he could even reach her, he felt the world spin around him. He saw a headless corpse slowly fall over, dressed in the same clothes as himself.

"Was that fun? This is only the appetizer. Once the Auction House is over, the main course will arrive."

Liu Yurou looked at Lin Wenjie as though he were already dead.

Then the two of them and the cat vanished.

Lin Wenjie had long since fainted from pain and could not hear Liu Yurou's words at all.

Patriarch Lin was enraged and swore to tear Qing Mo and Liu Yurou into ten thousand pieces.

That night, the Lin Family searched all of Purple Frost City but failed to find the two of them.

The next day, the Auction House proceeded as usual. Qing Mo and Liu Yurou were already waiting in a private room within the venue.

"The Duan Nian Palace Saintess has arrived. As expected of the Western Sea's number one beauty."

"The Mingyang Sect's senior disciple, Wen Liang, is as gentle as jade. Who knows how many young maidens have been enchanted by him?"

"The First Prince of the Luotian Dynasty has arrived. I heard he's already half a step into the Dao Integration Realm! His cultivation speed is terrifying!"

Once everyone had arrived, the Auction House officially began.

The host was Qiu Yue, the auction house's chief auctioneer.

"Thank you all for attending this auction. My name is Qiu Yue, and I will be hosting today's auction."

Qiu Yue wore a long purple dress. Her chest rose and fell enticingly, while her long legs flickered in and out of sight, displaying her perfect figure to the fullest.

"There are a total of 156 auction items today. I hope everyone leaves satisfied. Now, let us present the first item."

"A mid-grade spirit sword. The starting bid is ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. You may also bid with precious herbs or other items of equivalent value. Each increase must be worth no less than two thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"Twelve thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

"Sixteen thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

Bidding cries began to ring out.

"Yu Rou, do you think I should buy something?"

"???"

Qing Mo lounged lazily in his chair, both hands petting Da Bai.

Da Bai wore an utterly lifeless expression.

"Fine, pet me if you want, but what's with constantly playing with my tail?"

"Master, even I have no use for this kind of thing. Would someone of your realm need it?"

"I'm just experiencing the feeling of spending money. As for what I buy, it doesn't matter. Bid for me."

"Fine."

Liu Yurou stood up and bid on Qing Mo's behalf.

"It's her. Lin Wenjie ended up like that because of her."

"What? My son became like this because of that woman?"

Patriarch Lin flew into a rage and immediately wanted to rush into Liu Yurou's private room and tear her to pieces.

The instant he charged before Liu Yurou, he was suppressed by an even stronger force.

"Conflict is forbidden within the auction venue. If there is a next time, die!"

An ethereal voice came from nowhere. No one could be seen, yet it felt as though it were speaking directly beside his ear.

Patriarch Lin knew that the auction house was warning him, and anyone capable of suppressing him in an instant had to be at least in the late Dao Integration Realm.

Left with no choice, he could only wait until the auction ended.

"Hehe, don't worry. Once the Auction House is over, the main course will begin."

Liu Yurou looked at Patriarch Lin with a smile across her face.

"I never expected such a beauty to exist in the Southern Border."

"I want this woman. I said so—even God can't stop me."

"I wonder whether this beautiful older sister is merely putting on an act, or whether she truly has the strength to dare speak to Patriarch Lin like that."

The bidding gradually died down, and the price of the mid-grade spirit sword settled at forty-four thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

Liu Yurou's bid more than doubled the price. No one was willing to offer more for a mid-grade spirit sword.

The auction continued, and the Crane Red Fruit Qing Mo wanted appeared. Its price had reached one hundred and fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"Yu Rou, this is useful to me. Buy it."

In the end, Liu Yurou directly bid three hundred thousand and won the Crane Red Fruit.

After obtaining the Crane Red Fruit, Qing Mo no longer cared what was being auctioned. He planned that once the Auction House ended, he would have Liu Yurou wear a black cheongsam and high heels.

Paired with that devilish figure and angelic face, it would definitely be especially pleasing to the eye!!

"So happiness could come so easily!!"

It had to be said that shopping was a woman's nature. No matter what kind of woman she was, as long as she had enough money, useful or not, she would buy it first!

The entire auction nearly became Liu Yurou's personal shopping show. Everyone was dumbfounded. She was truly obscenely wealthy.

However, quite a few people were thinking that once the Auction House ended, they would go have a chat with Liu Yurou!

At last, the final auction item, the Enlightenment Pill, appeared. It was an elixir capable of allowing someone in the Dao Integration Realm to break through a minor stage.
