Shi Hao Takes Fairy Yuechan's Hand into the Auction House, Meets Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen (Please Bookmark)

The two of them walked along the road leading to the auction house, drawing countless gazes.

Fairy Yuechan had a graceful figure and an extraordinary temperament. Though she wore a veil, her beauty could still be sensed.

Shi Hao, meanwhile, wore a white robe, his black hair flowing behind him and a roguish smile on his face. He looked both dashing and mysterious.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the Tiangeng City Auction House, Shi Hao touched the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt he had seized from Tang San. After sending his spiritual power into it, he found that it was just as he had expected. The belt contained a full eighty million gold soul coins, countless precious metals and hidden weapons, as well as all sorts of materials and blueprints for forging hidden weapons.

"Ha ha, I'm rich, I'm rich! Your brother's really become a wealthy man this time..."

Shi Hao could not help laughing aloud. No wonder Tang San had wailed like his father had died when the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt was taken from him. It seemed he had truly suffered a crushing loss this time.

That was indeed the case. Tang San had not originally possessed so many gold soul coins. Those tens of millions of gold soul coins were precisely the payment the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had given him for purchasing a large number of hidden weapons. He had been planning to take the money back and invest it in the Tang Sect's construction, only for Shi Hao to snatch it all away in one stroke.

Now, as Tang San sat in that battered carriage on the journey back, recalling that scene made his heart ache deeply. His losses on this trip were already beyond measure, yet there was nothing he could do. He could only keep taking deep breaths to calm the grief and fury in his heart, like an incomparably pitiful dog.

Hearing Shi Hao's laughter, Fairy Yuechan could not help rolling her eyes at him. To her, that laughter always sounded somewhat strange, and she had no idea what he was so happy about.

She did not know Shi Hao very well. She only knew that he was her guide for cultivation within this secret realm, a mysterious and somewhat peculiar man.

Fairy Yuechan frowned slightly, her slender jade-like fingers tightening faintly around the emerald-green longsword.

She did not know what Shi Hao was really plotting, but she knew that she had to follow him for now.

However, just as she withdrew her gaze, Shi Hao suddenly looked over at her. His eyes were like two deep pools, gleaming with a roguish light.

Fairy Yuechan froze slightly. Before she could react, Shi Hao suddenly struck, taking hold of her jade-like hand.

In that instant, Fairy Yuechan felt a numbing sensation spread from her palm, coursing through her entire body like an electric current. She instinctively tried to struggle, only to find her wrist firmly gripped by Shi Hao, impossible to break free from as though caught in iron pincers.

Fairy Yuechan's pretty face flushed, as though covered by a thin layer of rouge. She glared at Shi Hao, wanting to convey her displeasure and anger through her eyes.

Yet Shi Hao acted as if he had not seen her glare at all and continued leading her forward by the hand.

Fairy Yuechan felt helpless. She knew she could not use her magical power right now, or it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Besides, she did not want others to see her lose composure in public.

So she could only let Shi Hao lead her into the auction house like this, looking like a shy young wife.

The auction hall was bustling with activity, its display stands filled with all sorts of rare treasures. Yet Fairy Yuechan had no mood to admire them. Her thoughts were entirely focused on the hand Shi Hao was holding.

When Shi Hao led Fairy Yuechan into the auction house's inner hall, a female attendant was immediately drawn to their arrival.

The attendant wore a tight red dress, its hem so short that it barely covered her thighs. Though she had a decent figure, compared to Fairy Yuechan, she was as far beneath her as clouds were from mud.

Seeing Shi Hao and Fairy Yuechan enter together, the attendant's eyes immediately lit up. She hurried over, forcing a smile onto her face. "Welcome. The premium treasure auction in the inner hall is about to begin. If you two wish to participate, you'll need to pay a deposit of one hundred gold soul coins."

Hearing this, Shi Hao casually pulled out a purple-gold card from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt at his waist. He glanced at the number on the card and saw that it contained five thousand gold soul coins, then directly tossed it to the attendant.

The attendant caught the purple-gold card and was immediately overjoyed. Greed flashed in her eyes, and her formerly reserved expression vanished without a trace. She quickly called out, "Excellent, sir! And this lady as well, please come inside!"

As the attendant's cry fell, a fat man in brocade robes emerged from the inner hall. Smiling broadly at Shi Hao and Fairy Yuechan, he nodded to signal for them to follow him.

After all, there were only a few people in all of Tiangeng City who could casually produce five thousand gold soul coins as a tip.

Within the auction house's inner hall, Shi Hao and Fairy Yuechan's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the other distinguished guests.

The inner hall was brilliantly lit. The guests present were all wealthy or influential figures dressed in fine brocade and luxurious robes. Their gazes fell upon Shi Hao and Fairy Yuechan in unison, as though they wished to see through them completely.

Shi Hao led Fairy Yuechan by the hand to an empty corner and sat down. He swept his gaze around from the corner of his eye and discovered that quite a few heated stares had already turned in his direction.

Every one of them was coveting Fairy Yuechan's beauty.

This left Shi Hao somewhat helpless. After all, Fairy Yuechan was at the peak of the Array Formation Realm and was about to enter the Venerable Realm. If the jade sword in her hand were drawn, there were probably few people on this continent who could withstand it.

Although many people coveted Fairy Yuechan's beauty, most of them were merely powerless merchants, so Shi Hao did not take them seriously. But just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of soul power.

Shi Hao's heart stirred, and he immediately looked toward the middle-aged man seated in the first row to the left. He was an exceptionally burly man, over two meters tall, with a belly swollen like an elephant's and thick armor covering his body.

Sensing Shi Hao's gaze, the imposing middle-aged man snorted coldly. A faint glimmer from a Soul Bone flashed across his forehead, as if warning him.

Only when the auctioneer stepped onto the stage did the middle-aged man withdraw his gaze and turn his attention to the first treasure about to be presented.

"Diamond Mammoth? It seems this man is Huyan Zhen, the master of the Elephant Armor Sect..."

After recognizing the middle-aged man's identity, Shi Hao did not feel the slightest panic. He calmly withdrew his gaze and looked toward the stage.

Although he did not currently possess the strength to fight a Title Douluo, with Fairy Yuechan as his female bodyguard, if Huyan Zhen dared cause trouble, then he was clearly asking to kneel down and call him Daddy, just like Tang San.

A trash character like Huyan Zhen truly did not deserve to be suppressed by the Willow Deity...

When he encountered Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, or Qian Renxue in the future, if they dared disobey him, Shi Hao would let them know just how terrifying the Willow Deity behind him was...
