Douluo: Xiu Xuanjun seven chapters, become the compassionate medicine king!

Chapter 5 Pleasant
"Dear Lord Cavendish, have you heard what happened at the city gate this afternoon?"

At the entrance of Douling City's largest opera house, two noblemen with gentlemanly looks got out of a carriage and chatted with formal smiles on their faces.

Hearing the words of the man next to him, Cavendish's face changed. He looked around to make sure no one noticed them before glaring at the little noble who was one level lower than him.

The young noble realized that it was not a good idea to talk about this openly. Just as he was about to change the subject, Cavendish said, "Who doesn't know? So many people escaped at that time. By tomorrow, I'm afraid everyone in Douling City will know that a Golden Cavalry commander died at the city gate."

"You are very good at foresight." The little noble flattered, and then said: "I guess your wise eyes have already seen through all the darkness, right?"

"They are just some wild maned dogs. Under the leadership of the wise and powerful Emperor, the Douling Empire will become great again!" When it came to this, Cavendish changed the subject and showed great admiration for the current Douling Emperor. The little noble also cooperated in time.

After finishing this topic, the two started chatting about other things, and at the same time, led by the waiter, they walked towards the opera house. Surprisingly, the two did not enter the theater hall where various well-known tunes were playing, but turned and walked into a dim room.

The waiter opened another door in the room, and in front of them was a hall that was larger and more luxurious than the theater hall. Countless upper-class nobles were chatting and communicating in it. A noble of the viscount rank like Cavendish would not even make a splash here.

This is an auction house hidden behind an opera house. It specializes in auctioning items of unknown origin or items that are explicitly illegal. It is a place where top aristocrats spend lavishly.

The auction had already begun when Cavendish and his friends arrived.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, please take a look at the next rare treasure!"

The beautiful hostess was showing off her gorgeous clothes, causing a commotion among the men. Every auction item was sold at an extremely inflated price after she passed through her hands. The prices quoted by those noble gentlemen made her face beam with joy. There was no doubt that she could even take off her last piece of clothing on this occasion as long as she could afford it.

The beautiful host knocked the auction bell three times and shouted, "Twenty-five thousand gold soul coins, congratulations to Madam Rodica for owning a thousand-year-old snow fox that cannot be found anywhere else in the entire Douling City!"

“They’re even selling wild soul beasts.” The young noble who came in with Cavendish sighed as he watched the ferocious Snow Fox being taken off the auction table.

Cavendish glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "It's just a soul beast. A bigger one is coming soon. This is your first time here, so you can broaden your horizons."

"Oh? Thank you for your teachings, Viscount."

Hearing this, the young noble perked up and stared at the auction table intently. Coincidentally, at this moment, a large iron cage covered with cloth was lifted up.

As the iron cage appeared, many nobles around stood up and looked over with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see what was inside directly through the cloth.

The host smiled when he saw this scene and said, "Next is the highlight of this auction, the final treasure. I think everyone can't wait, so please watch it!"

Without any further ado, he walked quickly towards the iron cage, grabbed with his hand, and the curtain was lifted. The next moment, the whole audience was in an uproar!
The cage didn't contain any rare spirit beast, it contained a person! A living person!

His long beige hair covered his naked body like a veil, and his skin, which was barely visible, was as smooth as jade and as delicate as a touch of a flower. His snow-white feet were naturally beautiful, and his ten round jade fingers were as white and tender as freshly peeled eggs.

It seemed like she hadn't seen the light for a long time. The lovely girl, who was instantly shrouded in the bright light, shrank to the corner with her legs hugged in fear. Her moving face revealed a touching look, and her tearful look made people want to hold her in their arms immediately and comfort her.

The auction house fell into silence, and the momentary silence was the prelude to the coming storm.

"Ten thousand gold soul coins!"

"30,000!" "If you have no family property, don't come out and embarrass yourself! I'll give you 60,000!"

The second bid alone exceeded the transaction price of the Millennium Snow Fox, but for these nobles who might remain in Douling City from birth to death, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Some people who were in high spirits even rummaged through their pockets and scattered the golden Soul Coins directly onto the auction table, hitting the "beauty". Seeing his frightened expression and hearing his painful gasps, the emotions of everyone present rose again!
"Wait, this looks like a man?"

An inappropriate voice suddenly emerged amid the countless quotes. The speaker was a young noble. As soon as he finished speaking, he found that more than a dozen strange gazes were falling on him.

The young noble didn't understand what was happening and was pulled back to his seat by his embarrassed companions while he was at a loss.

This is just a small episode. No one cares about the words of such a young man, just like that sentence -

He is still young, does he understand what interest is?

The price at the scene was driven higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye it reached a number that ordinary people could not imagine.

"Two hundred and forty thousand gold soul coins!"

As soon as this number came out, the other voices of bargaining became quiet. It was true that the nobles were rich, but their money did not come from the wind. It was all earned by their hard work on the peasants. It was not worth it to spend it for a toy.

Just when the noble who offered 240,000 gold soul coins was feeling proud of himself for having monopolized the prize, the beautiful host said, "I'm sorry, sir, this finale treasure is not traded with gold soul coins, but has more unique rules."

"Are you insulting the dignity of a noble?" The noble's face darkened and he asked in a cold voice.

At the same time, the expressions of most of the nobles present were the same as his.

Without telling them the special rules in advance, they just watched them counting foolishly. When they came to their senses, they felt that their noble faces were being pressed to the ground and rubbed hard.

"That's absolutely not the case." The beautiful hostess smiled and said, "Before, it was because the real bidders hadn't arrived yet. Now we invite them..."

"Princess Xue Yinmu... Grand Duke Gerard... Finance Minister Armand..."

As the names were called out one by one, the nobles present became more and more silent and sat back in their seats obediently. Just as the gap between commoners and nobles was like a chasm, there was also a chasm between them and the owners of these names.

Among these people there are royal relatives, nobles with real titles, court ministers, and powerful soul masters. No matter which one of them, they are no match for them even if they were tied together with ropes.

Lu Chun in the iron cage admired their submissive appearance. From the climax to the end, the various appearances of these nobles on the scene were a feast for his eyes.

The dramatic scene delighted him.

He was very happy to give what he considered the highest evaluation:

“It’s like a herd of livestock on the table.”
