Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 189 The Poor Little Girl in the Rented Room
Princess Jiujiu's expression changed repeatedly. How did he know I was the Soul King?

And what about competitors? Does he even know that I'm a member of the Star Luo Royal Academy's team?

Taking a deep breath, as expected of the chief auctioneer, the princess finally calmed down. After a moment of hesitation, she gave Huo Yuhao a courtly bow and said, "Thank you for informing me. Time is of the essence, and I must deal with this matter immediately. Please forgive any impoliteness."

After saying this, she glanced at Huo Yuhao one last time before turning and leaving in a hurry.

After seeing Princess Jiujiu off, Qingya returned to her room, her face also filled with worry.

Wang Yan smiled slightly and comforted her, "Qingya, this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to worry too much."

Qingya shook her head and said, "This concerns the reputation of our auction house! And this is a big deal. The starting price for this soul bone was originally over ten million gold soul coins, and we have never had a problem with an item worth tens of millions of gold soul coins before."

Wang said, "It's better to discover it early than not to discover it at all. At least it hasn't been filmed yet, so there's always room for maneuver."

Huo Yuhao took a sip of the drink on the table and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, with the resources of your auction house, you can just buy it back yourself. It's no big deal, there's nothing difficult to solve. It's just a matter of losing a little money."

Qingya was taken aback. To protect the reputation of the auction house, stopping the auction was obviously not an option. After thinking it over, it seemed that this was the only suitable solution.

On the other side, after Princess Jiujiu left the door, she walked straight in until she arrived at the door of the innermost room numbered one. Without knocking, she simply pressed her right hand on the door, and the door immediately slid open to the side. She then quickly walked inside.

"Brother, something's wrong."

Inside the room, only one man sat there, dressed in a black robe, with a tall and straight figure. He was none other than His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire!
Upon seeing Princess Jiu Jiu enter the room, Emperor Xing Luo said in a deep voice, "I know something has happened, otherwise you wouldn't have extended the viewing time. What's going on?"

Princess Jiu Jiu relayed Huo Yuhao's words.

Hearing her words, Emperor Xingluo was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "It seems the world is indeed vast and full of wonders! Ice Jade Scorpion, interesting. As expected of a hegemon-level soul beast from the far north, even a mere soul bone has such bizarre fusion requirements."

Princess Jiujiu's eyes flickered, and she cautiously asked, "Brother, are we really not going to ask someone to give it a try?"

The Star Luo Emperor confidently shook his head: "No need. He has no reason to lie. Although the price is not small, with the capabilities of our Star Luo royal family, it is indeed not difficult to find an unlucky person to test the soul bone. Since he is willing to reveal his trump card as the ultimate ice soul master to show us goodwill, I will accept his favor. Later, I will personally go to Shrek Academy to deliver this favor."

Upon hearing that his brother was going in person, Jiu Jiu was greatly surprised: "Brother, is it really necessary for you to go in person? According to the information I've gathered, isn't Huo Yuhao the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke? With the White Tiger Duke's connections, we don't need to go to such lengths to win him over, do we?"

Emperor Xingluo sighed and said, "You only know one side of the story. Although Huo Yuhao is Dai Hao's illegitimate son, he has very little connection with the White Tiger Duke's lineage. According to what I've learned from Dai Hao these past two days, Huo Yuhao might not even consider himself a member of the White Tiger Duke's mansion. His relationship with Dai Hao is so strained... Alas! They had such a good relationship, yet Dai Hao squandered it!"

"Ah, this..." Princess Jiujiu was speechless for a moment when she heard Emperor Xingluo sigh.

After this period of competition, everyone can see that Huo Yuhao's talent is simply unparalleled on the continent—a Soul King at the age of twelve! Whether there will be any successors is unknown, but he is definitely unprecedented! Moreover, today they learned that Huo Yuhao also possesses twin martial souls, the twin martial souls of ultimate ice! Such a peerless genius was born in their Star Luo Empire; how could the Star Luo Emperor not value him? He would definitely try every means to win Huo Yuhao over, at the very least, to leave a good impression!
"Alright, Jiu Jiu, you go ahead. I'll handle this personally after the auction. The last item is the most important; it absolutely cannot be lost. We must ensure our plan proceeds smoothly."

"Okay, brother."

After a total of twenty minutes of viewing time, the auction continued. Even though the starting price for the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone was as high as 12 million gold soul coins, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the bidders. The price soared and quickly reached 15 million gold soul coins.

Suddenly, a huge integer shocked every VIP room.

thirty million!
Looking at this terrifying number, Huo Yuhao chuckled: "As expected of the royal family, they do have some guts."

Xiao Xiao said incredulously, "Yuhao, did Princess Jiujiu and the others really offer this price themselves? This is enough wealth to buy a medium-sized city!"

Huo Yuhao's smile remained unchanged: "Just wait and see."

Clearly, the figure of 30 million exceeded the psychological price of most people, and with one minute passing, the deal was made!

"Next, will be today's finale auction."

The screen on the Soul Guidance Screen turned golden again. As the golden light gradually faded, the princess who reappeared on the screen was now wearing a golden dress. Her fair skin, set against the backdrop of the magnificent golden palace dress, made her appear both dignified and elegant.

As Qingya has already mentioned, wearing a gold auction outfit means that the final transaction price of the next item may exceed 100 million gold soul coins.

Although the items to be auctioned were still unknown, Princess Jiujiu's mere change of clothes had already created a sense of excitement among everyone. As a top-notch auctioneer, this princess truly knew how to manipulate people!
"Distinguished guests, you should be able to tell from Jiu Jiu's attire just how precious our final lot will be today! To be honest, this is the only time in my life I've ever seen such a piece. And in my opinion, its value is beyond measure in monetary terms."

As she spoke, Princess Jiujiu gestured with her right hand, and the Soul Guidance Screen instantly changed. A white tray appeared on the screen, with a wooden base on it, inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors. On this small wooden base, a wisp of air rippled slightly.

This mass of air appeared white, a soft white that didn't convey any power. From the screen alone, it was simply a mass of air, its magical properties difficult to perceive visually. However, this mass of air remained condensed, subtly shifting left and right, as if trying to break free. Meanwhile, the wooden support beneath it continuously emitted a pale golden light that enveloped it during its struggle, preventing it from breaking through.

Upon seeing this legendary contraption, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He sat up slightly and murmured softly in a voice only he could hear, "Poor little Snow Empress, you must be feeling terribly cramped in this tiny rented room. Just wait a little longer, and your brother will upgrade you to a sea-view suite soon."

The little girl has appeared! Please give her a round of applause!
