Ning Fengzhi watched helplessly as the people from the Heaven Dou Auction took the catgirl Little Tang San away.
They desperately wanted to dispose of this member of the Tang family with Twin Martial Souls right here.
But both of them had far too many reservations. They truly feared that some old monster was hiding behind the little catgirl Tang San.
Even if that person was only a Soul Douluo, the commotion they stirred up could expose the two of them.
They absolutely could not act.
Actually, there was no need to worry so much.
Although the little catgirl Tang San had astonishing talent, whether she could live long enough to become a Titled Douluo was not for her to decide.
Now Ning Fengzhi found it utterly laughable.
A distinguished Twin Martial Souls genius from the Clear Sky Sect had actually been captured by the Heaven Dou Auction to be sold as an auction item.
Just thinking about it felt absurd beyond belief.
What an enormous humiliation this was for the Clear Sky Sect.
If outsiders learned of this, how would they all view the Clear Sky Sect?
The Clear Sky Sect's reputation as the greatest sect under heaven had long since ceased to match reality.
His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the most powerful sect on the Douluo Continent.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Luo Li stretched lazily.
Little Tang San had been out for so long without returning. What exactly had she gone off to do?
He even joked inwardly:
She hasn't been captured by someone, has she?
Still, he was not particularly worried.
With Tang San's personality, she was far more likely to be the one bullying others.
Tang Hao had not returned either.
After becoming a catgirl, even picking out clothes took longer.
He had nothing to do anyway.
Since he had come to Heaven Dou City, he ought to look around a few places.
If he happened to run into Qian Renxue along the way and turned her into a catgirl, that would be fun.
Besides, Qian Renxue would then truly be able to appear in public as a woman.
After he had wandered around for a while, a sudden commotion broke out in the street.
It was because the Heaven Dou Auction was about to be held again.
And this time, there was a bombshell announcement.
They were actually going to auction off another catgirl.
Moreover, this catgirl was a one-ring Soul Master, and her Soul Skill provided healing and recovery.
Healing-type Soul Masters were already highly sought after.
Let alone when those abilities appeared in a little catgirl.
With some proper training after bringing her home, she would not only be a plaything in bed but could also contribute to the family.
Then people from the major factions and numerous noble scions poured into the auction, determined to win her.
She could be both played with and put to use, unlike those useless things from before that could be thrown away once used.
After hearing this, Luo Li could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.
My heavens!
His premonition really had been right.
Tang San really had been captured.
And she had been captured by the Heaven Dou Auction, who were now openly auctioning her off.
Luo Li found it laughable just thinking about it.
With Little Tang San's personality, she was now being auctioned off by others, displayed inside a cage.
Just how humiliated must this little catgirl, Little Tang San, feel?
What if the person she cared about most, the one who bullied her every day, was also there at the auction?
Luo Li felt that Little Tang San would absolutely fall into utter despair then.
Thinking this, Luo Li could no longer suppress his excitement and hurried toward the Heaven Dou Auction House.
The Heaven Dou Auction House truly lived up to its reputation as the largest auction house in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Even entering required proof of fixed assets worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Without Gold Soul Coins, one had to enter as a seller.
And the things being sold had to receive their approval before they could be sold inside.
Luo Li felt that since he was already here, why not auction off a bottle of catgirl facial cleanser?
He could see which lucky person would buy it and turn into a little catgirl.
Of course, when selling the catgirl facial cleanser, Luo Li did not directly reveal its heaven-defying effect.
He only told everyone that washing their faces with it could make their skin much better.
That alone should attract a whole crowd of girls to buy it.
He was not thinking about making much money from it.
After all, he already had the hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins provided by Skywater Academy.
The people at the Heaven Dou Auction twitched the corners of their mouths as they looked at the face-washing product Luo Li had taken out.
An auction house as grand as theirs, letting her sell something like this.
Yet Luo Li took out a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
That was a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!
He was unquestionably a big shot in his own right.
Besides, a facial cleanser that could improve the skin through face-washing would be very popular among upper-class women.
All one could say was that anything brought to the Heaven Dou Auction could fetch an astronomical price, even a steamed bun.
After handing over the catgirl facial cleanser for auction, Luo Li also received a yellow mask.
This place was divided into lower-tier sections and VIP sections.
Yellow signified a guest at the hundred-thousand-Gold-Soul-Coin level.
Above that was purple for the five-hundred-thousand level, and even higher, red.
Luo Li did not put on the mask.
The corners of his mouth curled upward. He wanted Tang San to see that he, too, was watching her being auctioned off.
What rather spoiled the fun, however, was that the moment Luo Li sat down, a gracefully curvaceous maid came to his side and pressed herself against him as she attended to him.
The corner of Luo Li's mouth gave a slight twitch.
The maids here were beautiful and had excellent figures, and their carefully cultivated personalities were even more pleasing.
But Luo Li found it strange.
Besides, although these people were beautiful, they were certainly not as beautiful and cute as his catgirls.
One could say Luo Li had absolutely no feelings or intentions toward them.
He simply sent them away.
He could not help grumbling inwardly that these people had long since had their own souls erased.
But as for his Little Tang San, Luo Li felt that no matter how he bullied her, trained her, or tried to reform her, a will to resist always remained in her bones.
So Little Tang San was still more fun.
Soon, item after item was auctioned off, and it was the turn of Luo Li's catgirl facial cleanser.
At the sight, everyone frowned.
Something like this had actually appeared at such a solemn, magnificent, grand auction.
The women in the venue, however, all had sparkling eyes.
Especially those noblewomen who were past their prime.
They did not doubt the caliber of the Heaven Dou Auction.
They felt that anything it presented was bound to be good.
It could make their skin supple and smooth.
Then those women immediately began fighting over it.
Watching from the side, Luo Li also witnessed these women's frenzy.
Loving beauty was a woman's nature.
Especially once they grew older, they became even more fanatical about skincare.
It was as if having good skin meant they would not feel old.
In the end, one little bottle of catgirl facial cleanser actually fetched fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins.
This shocked the maids at the venue, their pupils contracting with immense envy.
Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins!
They themselves could be taken home for just a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, to be treated however the buyer pleased.
This bottle of catgirl facial cleanser was actually worth half of one of them.
Sure enough, they were actually the least valuable things here.
Sorrow welled up in each of their hearts.
If they had a choice, who would willingly stay here?
Even though this place allowed them to enjoy wealth and splendor, it also made them feel utterly empty.
Now, in their eyes, there was nothing but money.
Even they themselves were merchandise with clearly marked prices.
Yet those noble scions and noblewomen spent so much money on something merely meant for washing their faces.
In their lives, they had money, status, and human rights.
How deeply they envied them.
