Mittel Auction House

Splash!

"Drip..."

"Drip..."

Leaves drifted down from above, landing on the pool and sending ripples across its surface.

A figure stood in the water. Pale arms brushed through purple hair, while droplets trickled from Xiao Yi Xian's face and fell into the pool with soft drips.

"Phew!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the delicate reflection in the water, a trace of barely noticeable tenderness flashing through her eyes.

Looking over the body that had gradually taken shape, she still felt faintly unaccustomed to it, even after living with it for so long.

She had not taken a proper bath these past few days. Now that she had reached the peak of five-star Dou Zhe, it was only right to relax a little.

Her purple hair spread through the water. What a lovely sight of a beauty bathing...

Splash!

Xiao Yi Xian stepped out of the pool. The Dou Qi within her instantly evaporated the water from her body. After changing into a purple dress, she felt as though a faint fragrance surrounded her.

With the sword case most precious to her strapped to her back, she headed outside. Her footsteps echoed continuously through the quiet forest.

Strands of sunlight shone upon the leaves, scattered rays falling over that graceful figure.

After leaving the back mountain, Xiao Yi Xian took out a battered bronze mask and put it on. Xiao Yan was going to the auction house today, and he had invited her.

Of course, the jealous Xiao Xun'er had been invited as well. Xiao Yi Xian was going there to meet Ya Fei.

Ya Fei, who possessed an exceptional head for business and was one of the supporting characters known as the Golden Empress.

"Ya Fei," the chief auctioneer of the Mite'er Family auction house, was seductive, charming, and breathtakingly beautiful. She possessed the extraordinary ability to auction off even worthless junk as a premium item.

She was usually all smiles and seemed easy to approach, but she was actually somewhat repulsed by men. Many wealthy and powerful people had spent untold sums on her, yet could never obtain what those men desired.

She held a special fondness for Xiao Yan. With Hai Bodong's support, she had become the one in power within the family, and near the end, Xiao Yan had even invited her.

As a transmigrator, how could she possibly not go take a look?

Which transmigrator had not once wanted to kick Xiao Yan aside and carry off Xiao Xun'er, Ya Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and even Queen Medusa...

Now that she had come to this world, how could she not meet them?

There was also Little Zi Yan of Jia Nan Academy, and some beauties in Zhongzhou...

Looking at beauties was a form of visual enjoyment...

But when she thought of "Queen Medusa," she could not help recalling several formidable figures from her previous life.

First, the legendary scholar who rode ghosts...

Second, the legendary doctor who rode snakes...

Third, the legendary cultivators who even dared to ride caterpillars...

Fourth, the legendary captain who rode rabbits, whose descendants all followed in his footsteps...

Before she transmigrated, such things had become wildly popular throughout Huaxia, such as:

How to Turn Your Little Sister into Your Wife...

How to Turn Your Brother into Your Wife...

And those predecessors who crossed racial boundaries were far from limited to just these?

They were all heroes. If every world had not used the same innate Dao body and instead used their original forms, that scene...

Just as Xiao Yi Xian was still thinking about those predecessors who had made enormous contributions to humanity, Xiao Yan approached from ahead with Xiao Xun'er.

"Sis, why are you so slow?"

Xiao Yan looked at the absent-minded Xiao Yi Xian, greatly puzzled.

This was not their previous life. There were no cosmetics or anything like that, so why was she still so slow?

And what was with that battered mask?

Could there be some kind of fashion trend here?

Xiao Yi Xian came back to her senses. Looking at Xiao Yan before her, a strange glint flashed through her eyes. After all, he was one of those formidable figures as well.

The kind of predecessor who had forced himself upon someone and crossed racial boundaries...

"Hm?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yi Xian. He felt an indescribable sensation, but what exactly was it?

"Xiao Yan, do you like snakes?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Yan and asked in confusion.

"Snakes?"

Xiao Yan looked at the strange Xiao Yi Xian in confusion, but after thinking about it, he said, "They're alright, I guess!"

"Just as I thought!" Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Xiao Yi Xian's heart skipped a beat. She did not even know how to mock him in her heart.

If Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Yi Xian's question about snakes was actually her subconscious way of asking, Do you fuck snakes?

If Xiao Yan knew, he would definitely deny it outright and refuse to admit that he was a predecessor who crossed racial boundaries.

Beside them, Xiao Xun'er made a face at Xiao Yi Xian, then hugged Xiao Yan's arm and said with a giggle, "Brother Xiao Yan, let's hurry to the auction house!"

"Alright!"

Xiao Yan nodded and led the way toward the auction house.

Xiao Yi Xian followed behind, and Yao Lao's voice rang out in her mind. "Why are you so slow, girl?"

Using her meager soul power, Xiao Yi Xian transmitted back, "I took a bath, so I was a little slow."

"Oh?"

Yao Lao's voice entered Xiao Yi Xian's mind, and for some reason, it made her picture his smug, annoying face.

After all, in the original story, Yao Lao had suggested that Xiao Yan take advantage of the unconscious Yun Yun.

Xiao Xun'er smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, do you know why the Mittel Auction House is treated with such respect by the three great families?"

"Why?" He truly did not know. Ever since his cultivation had regressed, he had rarely gone out over the years. He knew even less about what was happening outside.

Xiao Xun'er cast a proud glance at Xiao Yi Xian behind them, then smiled and said, "The Mittel Auction House is the largest auction venue in Wutan City. It is also affiliated with the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire: the Mite'er Family.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, if one were to speak of wealth, the Mite'er Family would likely rank first.

The Mite'er Family has a long history and has developed within the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years. Its connections are incredibly intricate. According to certain rumors, this family, rich enough to drip with oil, seems to have some ties to the Jia Ma Empire's royal family.

Within the empire, the Mite'er Family, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family were known as the three great powers of Jia Ma. The three families all had a foothold in the empire's business world, military, and many other spheres. Their influence could not be underestimated.

Therefore, with the Mite'er Family's powerful backing, no one dared set their sights on them, no matter how tempting the auction house's profits were."

After Xiao Xun'er finished, she had expected to see a look of realization in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. Instead, she saw only the same calm, unfathomable expression as always.

Xiao Xun'er's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She had already investigated Xiao Yi Xian. She was merely a little physician from Qingshan Town, though Xiao Xun'er did not know why she had left Qingshan Town.

But why was she not shocked at all by what Xiao Xun'er had said?

Was she really just a country girl?

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Xun'er. She understood her intentions, but Xiao Xun'er was terribly mistaken. She truly was not the original Xiao Yi Xian.

She knew far more than Xiao Xun'er did...

Looking at the enormous venue at the end of the street, Xiao Yi Xian was also curious about Ya Fei's appearance. Under the watchful gazes of several fully armed guards at the entrance, the three of them walked straight inside without slowing.

The moment they entered the hall, the scorching heat seemed to be stripped away from their bodies. The refreshing coolness gave them the strange sensation of being in two completely different worlds.

Her gaze swept across the spacious, resplendent hall. Led by a female attendant, the group entered the auction currently underway.

The moment they entered, the bright surroundings dimmed. Waves of noise poured into their ears from all directions, making the quiet-loving Xiao Yi Xian furrow her delicate brows.

The auction house was enormous and could easily accommodate thousands. Countless people were eagerly discussing the auction. Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Xun'er all disliked the atmosphere, so they quickly went to a private room.

At this moment, the hall was packed with people. Even the various private rooms contained the Xiao Clan's patriarch and elders, while the patriarchs of the other two great families had also arrived.

Just then, the sharp clatter of high heels echoed through the hall.

A figure dressed in red gradually emerged. In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. Even if the silver needle in Xiao Yi Xian's hand accidentally fell to the floor, its sound would have been perfectly clear...
