Douluo: Reincarnation of the Rock King, Wandering in the Mortal World

Chapter 48:48: For the Rock King!
For the nobles, putting on a mask here is like taking off the mask on their faces.

Along the way, from time to time, one could see nobles wearing masks making advances towards the "female companions" beside them.

These female companions were almost all staff members of the auction house. They seemed reluctant but willing, with smiles as beautiful as flowers, but their eyes were filled with confusion and dead silence.

In this case, the body is still alive, but the heart is dead.

Even if they were "redeemed" by these nobles, they would become playthings.

There will always be a day when people grow old and lose their looks, and there will always be a day when they get tired of playing, and by then, their fate may be much more miserable than that in the auction house.

Paimeng looked around, looking at everything in a daze. To her, this was somewhat uncomfortable.

These people all looked happy, but something seemed a little weird.

Zhongli paused from time to time, sighed, and no longer paid attention.

These women were almost all children from poor families. They were sold to the auction house because of family reasons or other reasons.

Although the auction house treated them as commodities, they actually raised them. Although this kindness was a bit twisted, it allowed them to survive.

As the God of Contract, Zhongli wanted to tear up the "contract" here for a moment, but finally gave up.

If your mindset doesn’t change, you may be saved temporarily, but not forever.

These women are beyond help, they have no other skills except serving men, strong men.

If we rescue them and leave them alone, they will come back here in a few days.

Xue Qinghe saw Zhongli sigh, and the scene of Jialing Pass suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people..."

"Could it be...could it be that it was because of these low-level civilians that Zhongli became the Rock King?"

Qian Renxue frowned and thought to herself.

It's understandable that she thinks so.

Not to mention the two empires, even the Spirit Hall has never cared about civilians other than those with the potential to be spirit masters!
If one does not have the potential to become a soul master, the Spirit Hall's attitude towards civilians is only slightly better than that of the two empires.

At least they gave the civilians some hope.

Qian Renxue asked herself, has she ever treated civilians other than soul masters as human beings?

She focuses on talent and genius.

Without these, she would not be interested at all.

Although she is kind, she doesn't take civilians without soul power seriously.

"For the King of Rocks!"

“Should I make some changes?”

Qian Renxue looked around the auction hall. She had been here only a few times.

Seeing such scenes, I felt a little uncomfortable.

The auction house is a big money-making project for the Tiandou royal family. You should know that the starting salary for a staff member here is 100,000 gold soul coins!
What kind of project can make so much money?
The annual military expenditure, officials, and royal expenses of the Tiandou Empire all require money...

The auction house supports most of these expenses!
If these projects were cancelled, the empire's income would be affected to some extent.

Qian Renxue had a headache. These historical problems could only be changed after she came to power.

At the moment, even if she said it to the sky, Xue Ye would not change his mind.

The Rock King can appear, but he cannot appear like in the dream, because he will destroy everything!

"After a while, I must find a guest official to have a good chat about this issue, a livelihood issue!"

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue slightly sideways glanced at Zhongli's profile. Although he was wearing a mask, he was still so charming!

Led by the receptionist, Paimeng, Zhongli, and Xue Qinghe arrived at a private room after many twists and turns.

After arriving at the private room, "Xue Qinghe" waved his hand and signaled the receptionist to go out.

Although the receptionist was reluctant to leave, this was an opportunity she had fought so hard for, but she had no choice. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked her to leave, she had to leave. "Qinghe, is there any explanation for this black area?"

Paimon turned his head and said to "Xue Qinghe".

She observed it when she came.

This place seems to be divided into four areas.

There is only one private room in the red area, and I don’t know who it is for.

There are slightly more private rooms in the black area, about five or six.

The private room they entered was Room No. 1 in the black area.

The purple area also has private rooms, but the number is much more than that in the black area.

As for the yellow and white areas, they are distinguished by the seats and there are no exclusive private rooms.

After hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" explained to Paimeng that different areas represent different identities and different assets.

Of course, if you only have money but no power or title, the purple private room is already the upper limit.

Even if they were given a black private room, they would not dare to enter. This is the class distinction.

As the crown princess, her private room was naturally Black Room No. 1.

If Xue Ye died, she could go to the only red private room.

In the world of soul masters, the color of the soul ring is basically used to distinguish the strength and status.

Even the divine test is determined in this way.

White is the lowest and gold is the highest.

White, yellow, purple, black, red, gold.

"So that's it!"

Paimon nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the fruit plate on the table. She wanted to say something, but after seeing the fruit plate and eating it, she forgot everything in an instant.

"Qinghe, are these edible?"

"can."

"It's no problem even if Paimon packs it up and takes it away."

After hearing this, Paimeng's eyes lit up!
However, Zhongli's eyes twitched. There was no need to think about it. These fruit plates and other things would appear in Zhongli Mansion in the evening!

He dared to use his own name to guarantee that this would definitely happen.

Paimon is not big in size, but he eats a lot.

According to the "Law of Conservation of Energy", this is very abnormal!

Only Zhongli has better eyesight and found that Paimon has grown a little!
When I first met him, Paimon was only about 10 to 20 centimeters tall.

Now, it's one size bigger.

It seems that all the Mora she ate from the traveler was not in vain.

Without Paimon, she would probably be very bored, right?
Oh, what a shame, what a shame, who knew that Paimon would travel through time with him.

"Keqing, what do you think of this auction?"

Paimeng was eating again, and "Xue Qinghe" had time now, so he asked tentatively.

She really wanted to know Zhongli's attitude, but the rest was not important.

"Something that is openly banned in the Tiandou Empire appears here."

"Of course, the auction house's adoption of orphans, although with twisted intentions, is also a good thing."
