Getting in Between!
Wang Dong'er's beautiful, butterfly-like brows furrowed slightly before she stepped forward and opened the door.
A young girl stood outside the door. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her beauty was comparable to that of Jiang Nan, one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
However, because she was a few years older than Jiang Nannan, her figure appeared more rounded and full. She wore a wine-red long dress, which accentuated her fair skin, giving her a very noble and elegant feeling.
The girl in front of me was beautiful, but she paled in comparison to top beauties like Wang Dong'er and Ice Empress.
"I'm sorry to bother you, I'm Xu Jiujiu, a competitive auctioneer from Starlight Auction House."
The girl gave Wang Dong'er an elegant and standard bow, then lightly swiped her finger across the Storage Soul Tool and took out two gold-embossed invitations with the Starlight Auction House logo, handing them to Wang Dong'er.
"This is the highest-level Auction in our Starlight Auction House, and I would like to invite you to participate on behalf of Starry Auction House," Xu Jiujiu said with a gentle smile.
"Is this a case of 'when you're sleepy, you get a pillow'? Ah Cheng just finished talking to Sister Bingruo about the Starry Auction House release event, and now this Auction has been delivered to us?"
Wang Dong'er looked at Xu Jiujiu, who took out an invitation from her Storage Soul Tool and handed it to her, and a look of surprise flashed across her beautiful pink-blue eyes.
"Okay, we'll go." Wang Dong'er nodded slightly, extending her fair and jade-like hand to accept the invitation that Xu Jiujiu had handed over.
After handing the invitation to Wang Dong'er, he didn't leave Xu Jiujiu, but instead secretly glanced into the room a couple of times.
This time, it was her elder brother, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor, who specially sent her to deliver an invitation to the Shrek Academy.
However, when he first went to the Shrek Academy's conference hall, he only found Wang Yan and the others, but not Lin Xuanchen and Wang Dong'er.
After making some inquiries, it was discovered that Lin Xuanchen and Wang Dong'er did not attend Shrek's meetings at all.
The purpose of Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor sending Xu Jiujiu to deliver the invitation was not entirely innocent. He wanted Xu Jiujiu to sound out Lin Xuanchen's intentions and see if she could leave a good impression and make an acquaintance with him.
This would be a very good option for the entire Star Luo Empire; if they could take this opportunity to win them over, that would be even better.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Jiujiu peeked into the room, and Wang Dong'er immediately noticed. She frowned and asked in an annoyed tone.
"Ahem, it's alright, it's alright, I won't bother you any longer." Xu Jiujiu felt a little embarrassed when he realized he had been caught peeking, so he coughed lightly twice and then turned and left the room.
"A-Chen, what a coincidence! We just finished talking about the Starlight Auction House Starlight Auction House's Auction, and they've already sent us the invitations."
Wang Dong'er closed the door, waved the two invitation cards in her hand at Lin Xuanchen, and said with some surprise:
"Isn't this perfect?" Lin Xuanchen reached out and gently patted Wang Dong'er's head, smiling tenderly. "Two invitations are just enough for the two of us to go in."
"As for Bing'er," Lin Xuanchen paused slightly, then said, "I'll use my first Soul Skill, Blue Silver Simulation, to bring her inside."
"Mmm! Okay!" Wang Dong'er nodded her little head and agreed with a smile.
Ice Empress watched Lin Xuanchen and Wang Dong'er being so intimate, and for some reason felt a pang of jealousy, a strong urge to join in.
"Dong'er, Bing'er, let's set off immediately." Lin Xuanchen first took Wang Dong'er's hand, then walked up to Ice Empress and took her hand, smiling slightly.
"Hmm." Wang Dong'er and Ice Empress exchanged a glance, then both nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Lin Xuanchen took Wang Dong'er and Ice Empress to eat something casually in Star Luo City before heading to the Starlight Auction House.
This wasn't Lin Xuanchen's first time at the Starlight Auction House. The last time he came here, he had intercepted Electrolux's offer to acquire the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
So this was his second time visiting the Starlight Auction House.
Lin Xuanchen led Wang Dong'er and Ice Empress through several streets with a lot of traffic, and then through several winding streets before stopping in front of a pointed building.
The building is not particularly eye-catching on the surface; it appears quite small compared to the surrounding buildings. Above the main entrance hangs a sign with a hammer image on it.
This building was their target – the Starlight Auction House.
With a thought, Lin Xuanchen activated Blue Silver Simulation, directly concealing Ice Empress's figure.
His Blue Silver Simulation can alter everything within a three-meter radius, so as long as Ice Empress doesn't move beyond his three-meter range, her form won't be revealed.
After doing all this, Lin Xuanchen took Wang Dong'er's delicate hand and led her inside.
After the invitations were presented, a sweet-looking young woman immediately came to Lin Xuanchen and Wang Dong'er.
The young woman leaned forward slightly, revealing a patch of white skin on her chest, and said, "Greetings, distinguished guests. I am Yafei, the waitress responsible for attending to you."
"That name sounds so familiar."
Lin Xuanchen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words coming from the girl's red lips, but he quickly remembered how familiar the name was.
"Lead the way." Lin Xuanchen nodded slightly, indicating that Ya Fei should lead the way.
"Please follow me, distinguished guests." Ya Fei smiled lightly and turned to walk inside.
Before long, Lin Xuanchen, Wang Dong'er, and Ice Empress, who was hiding behind him through the Blue Silver Simulation, arrived at room number one of the Starlight Auction House.
The room here is rectangular, with white walls along the long side that look crystal clear and very beautiful.
"Distinguished guests, let me introduce the rules of our Starlight Auction House."
Ya Fei walked up to the smooth wall in front of her and gently pressed it. The wall quickly twisted and instantly transformed into a giant screen.
"It seems the Soul Tool on the Douluo Continent are quite advanced; this level is barely comparable to the cheap projector he had in his previous life."
Looking at the huge screen that lit up in front of him, Lin Xuanchen quickly recalled the projector from his previous life and immediately commented on it in his mind.
"Why don't you get some sleep first?"
Before Ya Fei could say anything, Lin Xuanchen used his powerful Spiritual Power to knock her unconscious.
