Arranging the game tactics didn't take too long, and then everyone went back to their rooms to cultivate.
After dinner, they changed into ordinary clothes, took the invitations to the Starlight Auction House, and, led by Wang Yan, the group of fourteen arrived at the Starlight Auction House.
The unfamiliar surroundings made everyone curiously look around. As expected, they saw the Qing Ya auctioneer who had come to invite them earlier, standing at the grand entrance of the Starlight Auction House.
Dressed in a long black dress, she appeared even more noble and elegant under the night lights, her pretty face radiating gentleness.
"Your Excellency, distinguished guests, please follow me."
She smiled sweetly at Huo Yuhao, gestured for him to proceed, and then gracefully led the way.
Wang Dong'er squinted, glanced at Qing Ya's long, slender legs, and asked softly, "Do they look good?"
Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Huh? What do you mean? What's good to look at?"
The male students, including Gongyang Mo, who were standing nearby, all looked in Huo Yuhao 'Huo Yuhao direction with amusement and sympathy for him.
Wang Dong'er snorted coldly, glancing at them with a strong warning in her eyes.
Even though their cultivation levels were much higher than Wang Dong'er's, they inexplicably felt a chill run down their spines.
Xiao Xiao didn't say much. She held onto Huo Yuhao's arms with both hands, but when she saw Qing Ya appear, her hands unconsciously tightened a little.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's innocent eyes, she naturally didn't think that Huo Yuhao would stare at someone's thighs like a pervert.
Her palms were slightly sweaty. The thought of meeting Huo Yuhao's fiancée soon made her unsure of what identity she should use.
Girlfriend? Or what?
If Yuhao hadn't been holding her, she probably would have let go of her hand by now.
Since Meng Hongchen's entanglement a few days ago, Huo Yuhao found an opportunity to have a proper talk with her, and now the hard ice between the two is finally showing signs of breaking.
The people inside the auction house were mostly dressed in fine clothes, so their social status was naturally quite high.
However, after glancing around, I didn't see any publicity about this top-tier auction, so it seems that only a select group of people can participate.
Upon closer inspection, the unique logos of the Mitsugoshi Company Mitsugoshi Company be seen everywhere in this auction, from the decorations at the entrance of the auction hall to the corners of the surrounding billboards.
It seems that the Mitsugoshi Company has indeed gained a pivotal position throughout the entire continent.
Led by Qing Ya, they continued walking inside and soon passed an auction area.
The room was packed with people, all seated with eyes full of anticipation and ecstasy.
Judging from this, this top-tier auction must have had quite a few good items, otherwise these people wouldn't be so excited.
As they walked to the end, two girls in long gold dresses came to greet them. After bowing slightly to everyone, they exchanged a few words with Qing Ya. Then, one of the girls turned to the wall and gently touched it with her right hand.
Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded.
The moment the girl's fingertips touched the wall, ripples of light spread across it, until the shimmering light finally settled.
With a buzzing sound.
A straight black crack appeared in the middle of the wall, and as the wall slowly opened to both sides, bright lights shone through, revealing a passage.
Compared to the opulent gold and glitter outside, this passageway is pure white, a white with a soft texture.
Stepping inside, those with a keen eye can spot the unique dark purple stripes within the soft white jade.
The subtle patterns vary in form, all hidden within, preventing the white from feeling dull and instead giving a sense of understated elegance.
With a gentle gaze, Qing Ya stroked the wall and softly explained, "This is the passage to the top-tier Auction Hall No. 1."
"Only the most distinguished guests are invited to participate in the auction. I'm only here today because of the presence of these esteemed guests; otherwise, someone of my rank wouldn't be qualified to enter."
Zhou Yi smiled, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Auctioneer Qing Ya, you flatter us. We're just benefiting from your presence."
Qing Ya chuckled softly and gestured for them to proceed again.
After walking a short distance inside, small doors began to appear on both sides.
Qing Ya led them a little further inside until they arrived at the door with the number one plaque hanging on it.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, glanced at the extravagant little door adorned with countless exquisite patterns, and instinctively looked towards Huo Yuhao.
Qing Ya spoke up at this moment, "Your Highness, please go first."
Upon hearing this, they immediately understood something; the princess was probably already waiting in the room.
Huo Yuhao reached out and grabbed the doorknob, opening the door.
The room was about 60 or 70 square meters, and it was fully furnished, even better than the rooms at the Star Emperor Hotel.
The room was decorated with many rare and precious items, including antiques and jade.
In the very center of the room stood a young girl in a long red dress.
The girl looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her beauty was comparable to that of Wang Dong'er and others.
Moreover, she had a great figure; her red dress and gauze accentuated her snow-white skin, giving her a perfect, unpolished appearance.
Xu Jiujiu, she bowed slightly to the crowd at the door, making a gesture of etiquette unique to the Star Luo Kingdom with her hands in front of her chest, a gesture that was both complex and elegant.
"Good evening, everyone. I am Xu Jiujiu, Yuhao's fiancée."
"It's a pleasure to have you all here, and thank you for taking care of Yuhao these past few days."
With her sweet smile and stunning beauty, Xu Jiujiu was incredibly alluring to men.
Looking at Xu Jiujiu's beautiful face, Xiao Xiao felt her inner confidence beginning to crumble.
Wang Dong'er glanced at her disdainfully, remaining confident.
"This is a private room I carefully selected for our distinguished guests. I hope you all have a pleasant time here today and leave with plenty of enjoyment."
After saying that, Xu Jiujiu waved to Qing Ya and added, " Qing Ya will be here as your exclusive auctioneer, and I've decided that everyone will receive a 20% discount on their purchases today."
Even Zhou Yi was shocked upon hearing this.
All purchases made at the auction will be discounted by 20%—that's incredible!
The items from such a top-tier auction are undoubtedly very valuable; even a single piece would likely fetch an astronomical sum if placed outside.
If they buy enough things, some of them might even be given to them for free by Xu Jiujiu.
Everyone exclaimed inwardly, " Princess Jiujiu is truly generous!"
After seeing the affectionate look in Xu Jiujiu's eyes as she gazed at Huo Yuhao Xu Jiujiu, they found her actions understandable.
Zhou Yi immediately bowed and thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much, Princess Jiujiu."
Xu Jiujiu pause, she nodded in greeting and then walked briskly to Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao.
Suddenly, Xu Jiujiu's eyebrows curved slightly, and she looked down at Xiao Xiao, "Little sister, may I borrow Yuhao?"
???
The Shrek team was surprised when they heard this question.
Judging from the princess's appearance, she didn't seem to mind the relationship between Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao.
Of course, they didn't believe that Xu Jiujiu know the two's identities; after all, it's impossible for a princess to be unaware of her own abilities.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jiujiu held Xiao Xiao's hand intimately, even ignoring Huo Yuhao to the side.
Seeing this, they were even more astonished.
What happened to the Asura triangle? What happened to the drama of two women vying for one man?
No way?
Could it be that Princess Jiujiu is merely feigning indifference while secretly preparing to take action?
"Little sister, is it okay?" Xu Jiujiu's eyes were filled with longing.
Xiao Xiao was initially startled by his sudden action, but after calming down, she saw unparalleled sincerity in his eyes Xu Jiujiu.
She nodded subconsciously in agreement, "Sister, I'm fine, you don't need to ask me."
Xu Jiujiu immediately hugged Xiao Xiao happily and affectionately touched Xiao Xiao's pretty face. "You're so good, little sister. I'll have Yuhao bring you to the palace to play with me another day, and I'll show you around."
Hearing this, and seeing Xu Jiujiu's sincere expression, everyone realized that they had probably thought much more malicious than Princess Jiujiu.
Therefore, the palace intrigue dramas they've imagined are unlikely to materialize.
