Bao Liang glanced at him.

"Shouldn't money be spent wisely?"

"Besides, isn't it good that you can buy this kind of thing with money?"

Xiao Hongchen paused for a moment.

You make a very good point.

"I couldn't refute it."

Looking at these three guys, Ma Rulong and the others felt their worldviews were being shaken.

One hundred and fifty million.

In their eyes, this was a figure that could bankrupt any power.

But in Bao Liang's words, it was as if he had only bought a slightly more expensive toy.

Is this the world of the rich?

It was indeed terrifying.

In a secluded corner of the auction house.

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, hidden in the darkness, also witnessed everything.

Seeing that Bao Liang had successfully raised the price to 150 million, Jing Hongchen first breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized something.

"Old Ye."

"How much money did we give Little Bao Liang?"

Ye Yulin looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Give me the money?"

What kind of money?

"The fact that he could still save three small goals is already incredibly impressive for us two grandpas, okay?"

Jing Hongchen: "..."

Ye Yulin started counting on her fingers as she began to calculate the costs for him.

"Mingde Hall was bombed twelve times, resulting in a loss of twenty small dollars."

"The Worship Hall was bombed seven times, resulting in a loss of twenty-seven small dollars."

"And they even blew up 'that' street..."

He paused, then quickly changed his tune.

"Ahem... It was Xuanxuan Street three times, and I lost another seven small targets."

"Incidentally, we also accidentally injured Crown Prince Xu Tianran and his fiancée Ju Zi once each, and we were both fined three years' salary."

"And that doesn't even include the food and cultivation resources that brat has accumulated over the years."

"Old Toad, we've already complained to Teacher Kong about being poor."

Do we still have money to give him as pocket money?

Jing Hongchen listened to these accounts, his expression gradually became quite interesting.

He suddenly realized that he might not be a very good grandfather.

wrong.

How can you blame him?

It's clearly because Bao Liang is such a troublemaker!

"That part of the dream is..."

Jing Hongchen asked instinctively.

That's my savings for my funeral.

Ye Yulin said calmly.

"And your secret stash of money."

Jing Hongchen's expression stiffened.

What? My secret stash of money?

Jing Hongchen's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Ye Yulin glanced at him.

"Otherwise what?"

"Could it be that I stole it from the Mingde Hall's storeroom?"

Jing Hongchen grabbed Ye Yulin by the neck and shook her violently.

You bastard!

"How did you find my secret stash of money, which I hid so well?!"

Ye Yulin let him do whatever he wanted, her tone so calm it was almost irritating.

"Hehe."

"Someone is still the same as before."

"They like to hide their money in flowerpots, thinking the whole world doesn't know."

Jing Hongchen tightened her grip even more.

Ye Yulin remained completely calm.

Anyway, the money has already been given to the two children.

His granddaughter Jing Hongchen and his goddaughter Ye Yulin were both sitting in VIP box number two.

It was worth the money.

If Jing Hongchen is truly shameless, then go ahead and ask the children for their money back.

He wanted to see if this Mingde Hall had the guts.

"But then again..."

Ye Yulin suddenly exclaimed, "Bao Liang is truly a lucky kid."

"I came to participate in a Soul Fighting Tournament, and I actually managed to buy such a rare treasure as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo at an auction."

"And ever since he appeared, we two old folks feel like we have new hope for the future."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen gradually stopped what she was doing.

His gaze returned to Box Number Two.

It wasn't luck!

Jing Hongchen shook his head secretly.

He was now completely convinced that Bao Liang was a kid who couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.

If we consider this world as a massive Core Array, then Bao Liang is like a loop node that is most easily overlooked, yet crucial and absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake.

His very existence seems to make many things that would otherwise be impossible seem perfectly natural.

Unreasonable.

It makes no sense.

But it actually happened.

Therefore, what Bao Liang said before can no longer be dismissed as childish nonsense.

The Soul Beast embryo will most likely be secretly abducted by Shrek or the Star Luo Empire.

The probability of this happening is probably much higher than Jing Hongchen imagined.

Jing Hongchen's eyes instantly sharpened.

The Soul Core within his body began to operate at an accelerated pace.

One by one, the Level 9 Soul Tool hidden beneath the clothing quietly entered a state of preparation.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was armed to the teeth.

Seeing Jing Hongchen's reaction, Ye Yulin's smile quickly vanished.

He didn't ask any further questions.

As a fellow level 93 Titled Douluo and a fellow Level 9 Soul Engineer, he knew all too well what Jing Hongchen's reaction meant.

Ye Yulin also mustered all her strength.

A profound, star-like aura flashed briefly in the darkness, then vanished in an instant.

The two, one in the open and one in the shadows, took all possible threats around Bao Liang and his group into their perception range.

At the auction.

After the price of 150 million was announced, a full dozen breaths passed without any new bids being made.

That gleaming golden number hung there all alone at the bottom of the screen.

It resembles a mountain built from stacked Gold Soul Coin.

The pressure was so intense that all the participants could hardly breathe.

She stood in the center of the stage for Xu Jiujiu, still wearing a polite smile.

But she gripped the gavel with a bit more force than usual.

One hundred and fifty million Gold Soul Coin.

Even at Starlight Auction House, such astonishing transaction prices are rarely seen.

"One hundred and fifty million, for the first time."

"One hundred and fifty million, the second time."

"One hundred and fifty million, for the third time."

"Make a deal!"

The gavel fell.

A crisp sound rang out.

This also definitively confirmed who would be the final item in tonight's auction.

Inside VIP Box Number Two, Meng Hongchen immediately embraced Bao Liang.

"Little Baozi, we really got it!"

"Um."

Bao Liang patted her on the back, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Tonight's trip was worth it."

Xiao Hongchen looked at the two bank cards that Bao Liang had photographed Bao Liang that they were crooked, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"You got what you deserved."

My heart almost stopped beating because of you.

"One hundred and fifty million."

"You said it so casually, I almost thought the value of Gold Soul Coin had depreciated that much."

Bao Liang replied matter-of-factly, "It's not like I've already spent all the money, is it?"

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

He suddenly realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

This kid has no idea what it means to be frugal.

Ma Rulong and the others gradually came to their senses.

The gazes directed at Bao Liang became incredibly complex.

They finally witnessed firsthand what it means for money to truly allow one to do whatever one wants.

Qing Ya stood beside her, looking somewhat dazed.

Tonight's auction is destined to be an unforgettable moment in her career.
