Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor, with Minor Flaws!

Everyone's attention returned to the auction stage the moment Xiao Wu and Flender's group returned to their seats.

Tang San turned his head, lowering his voice to an almost inaudible whisper.

"Xiao Wu, why did you insist on buying it back? Wasn't that thing yours to begin with?"

Xiao Wu giggled and reached out to pat Tang San's arm.

"Come on, Brother, I told you it's fine!"

"It was just a small misunderstanding. Once it's explained, everything will be fine."

Her large eyes blinked as she deliberately avoided Tang San's probing gaze and turned toward the auction stage.

"Look, look, the auction is starting again."

Tang San frowned slightly.

The more casually Xiao Wu brushed it off, the heavier the unease in his heart became.

What exactly had that Field Master said to her?

Was it really just an explanation?

Onstage, Li An wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to calm down.

Though his heart was also filled with countless questions, both parties involved had already stopped, and the auction had to continue.

He picked up the Auction Gavel.

"Ahem, distinguished guests, my apologies for the fright."

"Next, we will continue auctioning this... er, pink Bunny Ear Pajamas."

"The previous bid was six hundred Gold Soul Coins. Is there a higher bid?"

Li An's gaze involuntarily darted toward Flender and Tang San.

All he wanted now was to get rid of this hot potato as quickly as possible.

"Six hundred Gold Soul Coins, first call!"

"Six hundred Gold Soul Coins, second call!"

The hall was utterly silent.

Was this a joke? Who hadn't seen what had just happened?

Two Soul Saints!

One of them was clearly protecting those kids.

Who would dare compete with them for something? Were they tired of living?

Forget six hundred—even if it were sixty Gold Soul Coins, no one dared open their mouth now.

Just as Li An was about to bring down the gavel.

"One Thousand Gold Soul Coins."

A calm voice rang out.

Everyone looked toward the source. It was Tang San.

His expression was blank.

Even if Xiao Wu had not said anything, he had originally intended to buy the clothes.

They were Xiao Wu's personal belongings. He could not let them fall into someone else's hands.

Hearing that bid, many people cursed inwardly.

Just as expected!

With people backing them, they really were bold!

Wasn't this blatantly telling everyone that they were determined to get this item?

Li An looked as if he had been granted amnesty, and the Auction Gavel came down almost impatiently.

"One Thousand Gold Soul Coins! This distinguished guest bids One Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"Any higher bids?"

He symbolically swept his gaze around the room. Naturally, the audience remained silent.

"One Thousand Gold Soul Coins, first call!"

"One Thousand Gold Soul Coins, second call!"

"One Thousand Gold Soul Coins, third call!"

Bang!

"Sold!"

Li An brought down the Auction Gavel heavily, as though a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning this... auction item."

He paused, composed himself, and announced loudly.

"Distinguished guests, the special session of this Seven Treasures Auction House has now concluded successfully!"

"All guests who have successfully purchased items, please proceed backstage later to complete the handover procedures!"

"Thank you all for attending!"

With that, Li An practically fled from the auction stage.

The guests in the auction hall also rose one after another, discussing the dramatic scene that had just unfolded as they gradually left.

Flender, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun also stood and walked over to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Xiao San, go handle the procedures."

Flender glanced at Xiao Wu, seeming to want to say something, but in the end, he did not ask.

"We'll wait for you here."

"Alright."

Tang San replied and stood up, preparing to head backstage.

As he passed Xiao Wu, he paused and asked again in a low voice.

"Xiao Wu, if you won't tell me what happened, I can't put my mind at ease!"

Seeing there was no avoiding it, Xiao Wu tugged Tang San by the sleeve and led him to a slightly secluded corner.

Her face looked somewhat unnatural as she muttered softly.

"Come on, it's just... my pajamas were stolen, and somehow they ended up here and got auctioned off!"

"That Field Master apologized to me. His attitude was pretty sincere."

Tang San clearly did not believe her explanation.

"That's all?"

"Mm... He also said..."

Xiao Wu's gaze flickered, and her voice became even softer.

"He also said that, to show his apology, no matter how much these pajamas sold for, he would compensate me ten times that amount!"

Ten times?!

Tang San's body trembled slightly.

Ten times One Thousand Gold Soul Coins meant Ten Thousand Gold Soul Coins!

That was quite a gesture...

That Field Master he had never met was actually so generous?

Or was there another reason behind this?

Ten Thousand Gold Soul Coins to quell Xiao Wu's anger, as well as any greater trouble it might cause?

Tang San's thoughts raced as the look in his eyes grew more complicated.

"Why would he do that?"

"How would I know!"

Xiao Wu stomped her foot, her cheeks turning even redder.

"Maybe he just felt guilty! Anyway, that's what he said!"

"Alright, alright, Brother, hurry up and go get the item!"

Without giving him a chance to argue, she pushed Tang San toward the backstage passage.

Tang San looked back at Xiao Wu with every step. In the end, he still suppressed the countless doubts in his heart and headed backstage.

Meanwhile.

On the top floor of the Auction House, inside the Field Master's Office.

What sat on the table before Ning Liu was not Gold Soul Coins, nor any rare treasure.

It was a neatly folded set of women's Soft Armor that gave off a gentle silver-white glow.

Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Armor.

Just after Tang San bought the pink Bunny Ear Pajamas for One Thousand Gold Soul Coins, the system notification had sounded in Ning Liu's mind.

Ding! Special auction item successfully sold!

Special event "Returning the Item to Its Owner" triggered. System evaluation: Minor flaws.

Overall assessment: This return multiplier is 100 times!

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor!

One hundred times?

Ning Liu frowned slightly.

Only one hundred times?

Compared to the previous few times, this return multiplier was indeed much lower.

"Minor flaws..."

Ning Liu recalled his conversation with Xiao Wu backstage earlier.

He had not told her the whole truth.

When Wang Wei brought that furious little girl before him, Ning Liu had almost instantly confirmed it.

That faint, elusive special aura... one the system could not miss...

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!

Moreover, judging from the style of those pink Bunny Ear Pajamas, along with the aura of a Soft Bone Rabbit on her body...

There was no mistake. This little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit!

After his initial shock, Ning Liu quickly calmed down.

Should he really get involved with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Ning Liu almost instinctively rejected the idea.

The risk was too great!

Although he had the system and Wang Wei's protection, he was not arrogant enough to think he could do whatever he wanted!

At least, not yet.

So, he chose to lie.

He fabricated a story about "a stolen item accidentally making its way into the auction house," apologized sincerely, and finally promised compensation ten times the auction price.

He could tell that although the little girl was angry, her thoughts did not seem too complicated. Especially after hearing about the tenfold compensation, most of her anger had clearly faded away.

Now, it seemed that decision had affected the system's return multiplier.

"Flaws... It probably means I wasn't completely honest."

Ning Liu gave a self-mocking smile.

Still, he did not regret it.

Compared to the enormous trouble it might bring, a slightly lower return multiplier was completely acceptable.

Besides, this reward was already astonishing enough.

His gaze fell upon the Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Armor again.

The Soft Armor was entirely a gentle silver-white, as though it had been woven from moonlight.

Its surface was covered in an extremely fine, rabbit-fur-like texture. It felt soft and smooth to the touch, yet carried an unusual sense of toughness.

Brighter silver threads outlined lifelike patterns of silver rabbits racing toward the moon across the chest and back, adding a touch of liveliness and radiant purity.

This was no ordinary item!

Ning Liu reached out and gently stroked the Soft Armor.

It felt cool in his hand, but not piercingly cold. Instead, it had a warm, jade-like quality.

It was remarkably flexible. Though it appeared small and delicate, it could fit wearers of different body types.

Judging by the materials and craftsmanship alone, Ning Liu, with the eye of a Glazed Sect disciple, estimated its value at no less than tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins!

Across the entire continent, perhaps only the few master smiths within the Blacksmith Association who had reached the divine smith level could forge Soft Armor of such quality!

The system's valuation of One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins for this Soft Armor was absolutely an underestimate!

Ning Liu then focused on the item description provided by the system.

Name: Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor

Type: Defensive Soft Armor

Effect One: Moonlight Protection: Automatically absorbs moonlight energy from the surroundings and stores it within the Soft Armor. When the wearer is attacked, it automatically activates a silver-white moonlight shield for defense. The shield's strength is related to the stored energy. At full charge, it can withstand one attack from a six-ring Soul Emperor-level Assault System Soul Master! Once the energy is depleted, it must absorb moonlight again to replenish itself.

Effect Two: Spirit Rabbit Agility: The Soft Armor is lightweight and highly resilient, slightly improving the wearer's physical flexibility and reaction speed.

Effect Three: Moonlight Affinity: Under moonlight, the wearer's Soul Power recovery speed increases by 10%.

Ning Liu could not help sucking in a breath after reading the description.

It could withstand a Soul Emperor's attack!

It also improved agility and accelerated Soul Power recovery!

Receiving such a Soul Tool from a hundredfold return did not seem... like a loss.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Wang Wei's steady voice came from outside.

"My lord, the auction has ended. I-I have brought that little girl."
