The refined man in charge of the auction bowed to his lifesaver.
Then he walked toward Liu Erlong.
Soon, he reached Zhu Zhuqing and Liu Erlong and bowed. "Your Eminence, may I have the soul bone now?"
"Mm, I'll go up with you."
Liu Erlong gestured for Zhu Zhuqing to sit down, then strode forward, signaling for the refined man to lead the way.
The refined man could only nod awkwardly. After all, so many people were waiting.
At the center of the auction house, Liu Erlong stood in her black robe without the slightest trace of timidity. She opened her left hand, revealing a soul bone that radiated purple light before everyone's eyes.
Liu Erlong told the refined man, "Go ask any lady to come up and assist. Only women can truly appreciate how precious this domain skill is."
The refined man nodded. He could only grit his teeth and go along with it. Since Liu Erlong refused to hand him the soul bone, he could not demonstrate it himself and had no choice but to act as her partner.
Following the refined man's enthusiastic explanation, a lady actually came up-and she came from the red VIP section.
She wore a golden mask and a long silver court dress. Her figure was lovely, and her movements were remarkably graceful, especially those eyes behind her mask, which seemed to have seen through everything in the world.
As she walked, no one sensed any fluctuations of soul power from her. Clearly, she was not a soul master, but an ordinary noblewoman.
The woman joined Liu Erlong.
At once, a fragrance drifted into Tang Yuehua's nose. It eased much of the melancholy and emptiness in her heart, and even cleared her mind considerably.
Tang Yuehua exclaimed, "This fragrance is lavender!"
