Taking Them All, Eldest Princess Xu Jiujiu
"Teacher Wang Yan, you can't keep this carving knife. It has a terrible effect on a person's willpower. It's impossible to resist injecting Soul Power into it," He Caitou reminded Wang Yan.
"This... should we buy it and show it to the Pavilion Master? His Martial Soul is of the light attribute, and he's very strong; perhaps he can find a solution."
Wang Yan thought about Yan Shaozhe's strength had greatly increased, and how he had succeeded as the Sea God Pavilion Master, and was now also of the Light attribute.
If we could acquire this carving knife for 100,000 gold coins and have Yan Shaozhe find a way to fix its flaws, it would undoubtedly be a good choice.
Of course, this is all predicated on Yan Shaozhe actually being able to handle it.
If not, these 100,000 Gold Soul Coin will be wasted.
"Well..." He Caitou thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Teacher Wang Yan, I don't know much about carving knives either, you decide."
Wang Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and was about to make a bid.
"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin."
The familiar voice rang out again, startling everyone in the room.
Countless eyes turned to him instantly, only to see that Gu Yunxiao had already raised his paddle to bid.
Dude, you still have money?
You even want the last item, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife! You really don't let any of the auction items go!
"Why is it him again..." Wang Yan had originally wanted to bid, but when he saw that Gu Yunxiao had raised his paddle again, he gave up the idea.
Gu Yunxiao is too rich; he couldn't possibly win the bid.
"Yunxiao, you..." Jiang Nannan and the others were startled and inexplicably worried when they saw Gu Yunxiao preparing to bid for the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
"I have a way to handle this."
Gu Yunxiao replied telepathically.
Hearing this, Jiang Nannan and the others felt much less worried, but they were still somewhat concerned.
"Ah? Okay!"
Qing Ya on stage was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered. "Number Twelve VIP has bid 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, is there anyone else bidding?"
The room fell silent; no one raised the price.
Qing Ya also felt somewhat regretful about this.
Firstly, she didn't want Gu Yunxiao to take away the dangerous Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
Secondly, she also wanted to see if anyone was willing to raise the price so she could get a larger cut. She wasn't short of money, but she didn't want to lose out on Gold Soul Coin.
Seeing that no one was bidding higher, Qing Ya called out the price three times, and finally slammed down the gavel with a 'bang', and the transaction was completed.
With the last item sold, tonight's auction officially came to an end.
Everyone got... nothing at all!
Apart from Gu Yunxiao, no one else gained anything; they simply came to watch a spectacle of a 'young master buying things'.
Damn, how can Gu Yunxiao be so rich!
So what if you're rich? You're a sucker who bought the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, let's see how you die!
"Wait a moment, I'll go pay," Gu Yunxiao said to Jiang Nannan and the other six, then got up and left for the backstage area of the auction hall.
"Young master, all your belongings are in this Storage Ring. Please check them." Qing Ya looked at Gu Yunxiao with a smile.
"Um."
Gu Yunxiao nodded and was about to pay.
"Young master, you don't need to pay," Qing Ya suddenly said.
Gu Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Starlight Auction House really that generous, just giving up hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coin like that?"
"Others need to pay, but... Young Master Yunxiao doesn't." Qing Ya shook her head.
No, thank you.
Gu Yunxiao casually pulled down his hood, lifted his mask, and then took out Gold Soul Coin from his Storage Ring. "What's free is often the most expensive."
"This..."
Qing Ya was taken aback for a moment.
Several girls nearby stared at Gu Yunxiao's face for a long time, their eyes constantly glancing at him even while they were still working.
"Young Master Yunxiao, we just want to be friends."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the Curtain on the side, and as the Curtain on both sides were pulled back, a beautiful woman walked out.
The woman was very beautiful, with purple hair and blue eyes, an elegant and noble demeanor, and a faint smile always playing on her thin lips.
Your Highness.
Qing Ya and the others immediately bowed.
Xu Jiujiu waved her hand, walked up to Gu Yunxiao, and extended her hand. "Young Master Yunxiao, hello, I am Xu Jiujiu."
"Hello."
Gu Yunxiao nodded, shook hands with Xu Jiujiu, and said calmly, "It's quite surprising that Princess Jiujiu came in person."
Upon hearing Gu Yunxiao reveal his identity, Xu Jiujiu was not surprised at all.
" With the Young Master of the Dragon God Hall gracing the Star Luo Empire, how could the royal family not take it seriously?" Xu Jiujiu smiled faintly, her gaze never leaving Gu Yunxiao's face.
From a distance, Gu Yunxiao looks very handsome.
Up close, he's even more handsome; his looks alone are enough to make people forget all his other outstanding qualities.
"Since Your Highness wishes to make friends, then please accept these Gold Soul Coin."
Gu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Since ancient times, even brothers have to keep clear accounts, let alone friends?"
"Okay." Xu Jiujiu smiled and nodded, no longer refusing, but instead accepting the Gold Soul Coin and casually handing them to Qing Ya beside her.
For her, hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coin were nothing more than pocket money.
It's a pity I couldn't use this pocket money to gain Gu Yunxiao's favor; it's a small regret.
However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense. If Gu Yunxiao's favors could be measured in Gold Soul Coin, it would be far too cheap.
"Since Princess Jiujiu has come in person, then let's speak frankly," Gu Yunxiao said.
"Young Master Yunxiao, may I move a step further?"
My women are still waiting for me.
"... Please rest assured, I will have Qing Ya and the others take good care of her." Xu Jiujiu's lips twitched slightly, but she still said with a smile.
My women?
Well, Gu Yunxiao's womanizing ways far exceeded her expectations.
Although she had expected it, hearing the other party admit it so frankly still left her feeling somewhat bewildered.
Gu Yunxiao thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
"Plz follow me."
He smiled for Xu Jiujiu and then led the way.
The two then went to a room in the auction house. Judging from the surrounding decor, this room was likely used specifically to receive VIPs.
"Young Master Yunxiao, please."
Xu Jiujiu, he reached out his hand in a gesture.
Gu Yunxiao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, casually picking up a drink from the table and drinking it, seemingly unafraid that it might contain poison.
After all, he possessed an extremely potent poison.
After sitting for Xu Jiujiu, he said, "Young Master Yunxiao, since you bought the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, it must be that the seniors of the Dragon God Hall have the ability to solve its drawbacks."
"But Jiujiu must remind you, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife Blade is not to be underestimated. Please, seniors of the Dragon God Hall, be careful."
"Um."
Gu Yunxiao nodded. "I will convey Princess Jiujiu's kindness."
"What does Young Master Yunxiao think of the current situation in the Douluo Continent?" Xu Jiujiu asked.
"Is it my view of the situation on the mainland, or the Dragon God Hall's view of the situation on the mainland?" Gu Yunxiao smiled meaningfully.
"Young Master Yunxiao is the next Dragon God Hall Master; there is no difference between the two."
He smiled for Xu Jiujiu.
"The overall ranking of the Four Great Empires is as follows: Sun Moon Empire first, Star Luo Empire second, Heavenly Soul Empire third, and Dou Ling Empire at the bottom," Gu Yunxiao said calmly.
That was then; things should be different now.
Xu Jiujiu, he shook his head and said, "Right now, Heavenly Soul should be first, Sun Moon second, Star Luo Empire third, and Dou Ling Empire at the bottom."
"After all, with the Dragon God Hall around, no one in the Heavenly Soul Empire dares to covet it."
