"I'll offer 10 million Beli!"
The female Celestial Dragons Shalria finally couldn't resist making a bid. The allure of an old man who was still strong and had an unyielding erection was too great. She had tried many men over the years, but none of them had been particularly satisfactory. In any case, this old man wouldn't cost her much money, and even if he didn't work out, it wouldn't be a huge loss.
Moreover, her father and brother weren't that smart, and they could probably get away with any excuse, so she directly quoted a price that was way too high, hoping to intimidate the old sluts who had been bidding all along.
She hadn't expected that the price would draw the attention of all those sluts, who stared at her with undisguised curiosity, lewdness, and teasing. Even someone as adept at such things as her couldn't help but blush under their gazes.
It was as if she and the old man were engrossed in their play when these sluts surrounded them, stripping her naked. She felt incredibly embarrassed. These sluts really knew her. So... should she kill them to silence them?
"Sister! Why did you spend so much money to buy a useless old man?"
"Yes, Shalria! Do you need any more slaves? I have plenty. Want me to send you a few?"
"I want to get a new mount. I've never tried one this old before, and it's actually quite exciting. Besides, the price isn't high. My brother spent over 800 million Beli on a treasure map that never came to fruition, and didn't you hear the host say this guy has incredible stamina? Perfect as a mount!"
Although the Celestial Dragons father and son weren't very bright, they could still sense that Shalria acting strangely, so they didn't hold back and asked her directly.
Shalria offered a seemingly reasonable explanation: it's perfectly normal for Celestial Dragons to frequently change mounts, and every Celestial Dragons has a sense of curiosity, so using a human old man as a mount falls into this category.
Moreover, the reason she gave seemed to fit Rayleigh perfectly. Rayleigh swam from Sabaody across the Calm Belt to Amazon Lily with his bare hands, so his stamina was definitely not an issue. The only question was whether she was satisfied with Rayleigh's stamina. If he only had stamina but not the ability to remain strong with age or to have an unyielding erection, I wonder if she would still be satisfied.
Although the three people weren't speaking loudly, Vic heard them all. His body trembled slightly inside his black robe as he laughed, unable to contain himself. Rayleigh on the stage naturally heard it too; his face had already darkened. He had calmed down while those old women were competing for the abilities the host mentioned that he didn't possess.
Hearing the conversation between the three Celestial Dragons, Rayleigh couldn't help but Headliners at the female Celestial Dragons. Apart from the bad temper and dressing habits that all Celestial Dragons possess, she was quite good-looking. Women who could bear children for Celestial Dragons were generally good-looking, unless the children were born from intermarriages within the Celestial Dragons community.
This family of three often comes to auctions together, but the wife and mother, who are the fourth person, are never seen. Therefore Charlos is probably the result of an intermarriage between Rosward and other Celestial Dragons families. Because the families often intermarry, their blood relations are very close, which is why they have a mentally challenged child like Charlos.
Shalria was most likely born from the union of Rosward and an ordinary human beauty, similar to Ginny and Bonney. However, Shalria remained in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, while Ginny and Bonney were driven away due to Saturn's specific purposes.
There were quite a few human slaves captured and taken to Mary Geoise, and many of them were beautiful women, such as Stella, Tesoro's girlfriend, and Hancock, the current Empress. They were both great beauties among humans. The Celestial Dragons also needed the blood of ordinary people to dilute the increasingly close bloodlines, otherwise their offspring would all become deformed or stupid.
No one would say anything if Celestial Dragons slept with a few human slaves; that's Celestial Dragons privilege. But judging from Rayleigh's expression, it seems Vic wants to test if this female Celestial Dragons is stamina-wise! Is she even capable at over seventy?
Even if it really worked, wouldn't they be afraid of stirring up trouble with a toothpick? This world has Giant Race and many gifted little giants! I wonder if this female Celestial Dragons has ever been curious enough to try it? Anyway, Vic decided to help Rayleigh accomplish this good deed!
Just as Shalria finished dealing with her brother and father and looked up at the exhibition stand, she met Rayleigh's eyes, who was staring at her. In that instant, she felt her whole body and mind tremble!
For no apparent reason, a strong desire rose in her heart, and waves of pleasure spread throughout her body. She involuntarily squeezed her legs together, but a slippery feeling came from the dark place below—the holy water that nourishes love!
Moreover, the holy water felt incredibly surging, and she felt she could barely hold it in. She could faintly hear the dripping sound of water beside her ears!
How could such a faint sound be heard in a noisy auction hall? The sound was imagined by her own perception of the holy water dripping through her private clothing!
She didn't know how she had become so happy in just a few seconds. Could it be because of that one glance they made? The effect was too good! Was this love at first sight? She almost fainted, her whole body trembling slightly as she leaned back in her chair, afraid of giving herself away!
"15 million Beli!"
Just as Shalria's consciousness continued to rise, a bidding voice startled her awake. She looked down and saw that the floor under the chair was wet and had a strange smell. Her already flushed face turned even redder!
Looking around, Shalria realized that her brother and father weren't paying attention to her, but rather to the mysterious man in black robes who had called out the price. She felt relieved.
After she made her bid, the noblewomen didn't place any more bids. It was out of respect for the Celestial Dragons, and they really couldn't afford to offend Celestial Dragons; not everyone is like Tesoro.
The nobles who bid during the treasure map auction weren't any better than the Celestial Dragons. They knew the Celestial Dragons were deliberately inflating prices, and they wanted to see Tesoro make a fool of himself, so they followed the Celestial Dragons in bidding, which was both a way of teaching Tesoro a lesson and currying favor with the Celestial Dragons.
They dared not compete directly with the Celestial Dragons, but now another one had emerged to compete with Celestial Dragons, naturally attracting the attention of everyone present. The gazes of the crowd were filled with pity, while the eyes of the Celestial Dragons father and son were filled with murderous intent.
The person making the bid was Vic. Since this female Celestial Dragons was interested in Rayleigh, he figured he might as well get involved.
The female Celestial Dragons's soul ascended to heaven and the oil dripping from the dumpling was done by him. Although the two were not far apart, it was nothing to Vic, Devil Fruit Awakening. This female Celestial Dragons had experienced the feeling of instantly reaching the peak!
Did you really think Rayleigh's first glance had that effect? Even if he were decades younger, he couldn't do that! Vic would have to add another layer of love-at-first-sight filter for him to work it out.
Then Vic kept raising the price. He figured that the female Celestial Dragons had been driven mad by what had just happened and was determined to take Rayleigh by any means necessary. Vic was prepared to make her bleed profusely. She had just come out of the water, and now she was bleeding. Perfect!
"20 million Beli!"
Shalria glared fiercely at Vic's bid, then turned to look at Rayleigh, who was strapped to the platform by a collar. Her expression instantly softened, and a hint of heartache appeared in her eyes!
