Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 118 A world of the weak and the strong

"Your Majesty Dugu, this is the VIP card of our Tiandou Auction House. Please accept it."

Just before entering the auction house, the person in charge of the Tiandou Auction House learned that the Titled Douluo had arrived, and he ran out in a hurry, and then handed a card made of pure gold to Dugu Bo.

"That's thoughtful." Dugu Bo was not polite. After taking the VIP card, he asked with a little doubt: "Which box are we going to?"

The person in charge smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is a seat number on the card. The auction will be held 24 hours a day. You can take a seat according to the seat number on the card."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded, picked up the VIP card and walked into the auction hall, walked along the corridor to the end, then turned a corner, and suddenly, an extremely huge auction hall appeared in the sight of the three people.

This auction house was so big that Cheng Xiao was a little surprised. After two lifetimes, this was the first time he saw an auction house. At this moment, he was indescribably surprised.

No wonder ordinary people are not allowed to enter the auction hall. Even if ordinary people enter, they probably can't afford such a place because it is too luxurious. The densely packed seats and the auction platform that is almost entirely built of dazzling crystal towers all exude a luxurious atmosphere.

"Sir, what is your seat number?" At this moment, a pretty maid walked over quickly and asked respectfully.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo handed over the VIP card he had just received. When the maid saw the color of the card, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. She became even more respectful, slightly bent over, and said softly, "Please follow me, all three of you."

After saying that, the maid gave each of Cheng Xiao and his group a mask, and carefully informed them that they needed to wear masks at the auction. Of course, the purpose of doing so was also for the safety of the customers.

Dugu Bo originally wanted to say that he was a Titled Douluo, but on second thought, he put on the mask. He didn't care, but his granddaughter and Cheng Xiao didn't care.

After everything was arranged, the maid hurriedly led the way, while Cheng Xiao and the other two followed slowly behind her.

Following the maid, we walked in the huge auction hall for about ten minutes, and finally stopped at a place near the crystal auction table.

"Three of you, these are your seats." The maid pointed to a seat next to the auction table, smiled at Cheng Xiao and Dugu Bo, then bowed and retreated.

"Finally I can sit down. My legs are sore." After finding her seat, Dugu Yan gracefully sat down on the soft chair covered with exquisite plush. The soft feeling made her want to curl up in it.

Cheng Xiao and Dugu Bo sat down without hesitation. However, as soon as he sat down, Cheng Xiao felt a sharp gaze staring at him.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Cheng Xiao glanced around and saw that on a seat not far away, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Guardian Douluo, Sword Douluo, whom he had met at the door earlier, was looking at him.

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile appearing on his face, Cheng Xiao waved to him carelessly, then turned his head and started talking to Dugu Bo. His actions also made Jian Douluo frown.

"This kid..." Sword Douluo Chenxin slowly retracted his gaze. Beside him, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, asked in a low voice: "Uncle Jian, what's wrong? I saw someone greet you just now?" "Nothing, I just thought this kid was a little strange." Sword Douluo Chenxin shook his head slightly and said lightly: "His strength is not strong, but Dugu Bo beside him is not an ordinary person, and I have a vague feeling that this kid is definitely not as simple as he looks on the surface."

"Really?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Uncle Jian, I'm sorry to bother you to pay more attention to him. My strength is not higher than yours, and I can't see some potential things."

"I understand." Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded. He had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years. Although it was the first time he saw this young man, the intuition he had cultivated over the years allowed him to see that the young man was unusual in an instant.

But what interested him even more was who this young man was that he could have an old man like Dugu Bo following him around, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good. This was simply eye-opening.

In the world of soul masters, who doesn't know that Dugu Bo has a strange personality? The number of soul masters who can be friends with him can be counted on one hand, and the boy in front of him is obviously not one of them.

"Well, after the auction is over, let's go over and have a chat, and by the way, test the relationship between this young man and Dugu Bo." Ning Fengzhi's mouth curled up. He noticed Dugu Yan beside Dugu Bo, so he planned to get to know her better.

After all, he also has a daughter...

During the period before the auction started, some unbearable sounds were faintly heard. Cheng Xiao and Dugu Yan's faces changed slightly, because the people around them were openly playing with the maids in the auction house, and the unbearable sounds came from there.

Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what's wrong with these people? They did such a thing in public."

“Yanyan, you have to know that not everyone in this world has powerful strength.” Dugu Bo said calmly: “As far as I know, these maids themselves are part of the auction house, whether it is their lives, bodies, or some other things.

"They were bought by the auction house when they were young and then trained. They are not only service personnel here, but also part of the auction. As long as someone is willing to pay, they can also be taken away by the auction."

"How could this be?" Dugu Yan said angrily, "I thought there was something fun at the auction, but it turned out to be so dirty."

"This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Only by becoming strong can you survive." Cheng Xiao suddenly said.

Dugu Bo nodded and praised, "You are right. Only when you are strong can you gain a foothold. These maids are ordinary people who have not awakened their spirit power. Although the Spirit Hall has awakened their spirits, they are destined to become ordinary people without spirit power."

"And this is the fate of ordinary people. The reason why they have calm expressions and seem indifferent and self-respecting is that they don't know that they already have no hearts of their own and cannot decide their own fate. How sad is this?"

"All they can do now is obey. Although these maids are beautiful, they have no souls of their own. Therefore, they must always remember one truth: in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by becoming stronger can they escape their fate."

“Even if your fate cannot be changed, don’t give up. At least, the changes you make now are far better than the cowardly you once were.”
