Chapter 3318: Beyond His Grasp
The other Legends who had remained in the Small World still held onto a sliver of hope.
After all, of the two Legends representing First University, one had originally been a demon, with an improper background; the other lacked seniority and was merely a Side Door Legendary. Strictly speaking, neither counted as part of the school's orthodox lineage.
Since neither Old Man Ruo Yu nor Madam Shi Hui had come, the dragon remains' final ownership was still uncertain.
But as First University made its bid,
that last trace of hope vanished into thin air.
There was no second round of bidding. The Thought Bodies dissipated from the Small World one after another and returned to the auction venue. After handing Professor Yao a Black Gem, Zheng Qing left with the two witches as well, without waiting for the final handover of treasures.
Back at the Jade Throne,
Zheng Qing looked at the black-and-white jade sphere floating in the void, already thoroughly uninterested. Only one Black Gem remained in his pocket, and it had other uses. Even if he spotted some treasure he wanted, he could no longer afford it. He might as well leave early, lest inner demons arise. However, the white cat seated on his left and the fox seated on his right were still enthusiastically using their spiritual senses to fiddle with the jade sphere and browse the introductions to its many treasures. Seeing this, the Young Legendary temporarily reined in his impatience and suppressed the urge to leave.
The subtle feeling inexplicably reminded him of girls shopping.
They went from one shop to the next, engrossed in browsing, while he had no idea where the fun lay.
Poke, poke!
The Little White Cat quietly poked the Young Legendary's arm with a paw.
