Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 143: Interrupting the "Spellcasting"

Night had fallen by the time the knockout stage ended.

A few people did not rejoice at today's victory; instead, as night fell, their expressions grew increasingly solemn.

There is an extremely important auction tonight!
In the VIP section, Xu Jiawei was the first to stand up, walk to Zhong Li's side, and say very respectfully, "Martial God, please!"

"please!"

Zhongli stood up and responded.

In the original timeline, there would also be an auction tonight, where the most precious item would naturally be the corrupted gold of living beings.

This piece of living gold had long since fallen into Zhongli's hands, and now it has become the cornerstone of the Soul Spirit Plane.

In a short while, the group arrived at the auction house.

At this time, the auction had not yet started, but all the "VIPs" who were supposed to arrive were present.

In VIP Room No. 1, which belongs to Zhong Li, there were only a handful of people.

Zhongli, Paimeng, Xuedi, Bingdi, Xu Jiawei, and Xu Jiujiu.

"Lord Martial God, Jiu Jiu will be the auctioneer tonight. If there is anything she does that is not up to par, please give her your guidance so that she can correct it."

Xu Jiawei said very politely.

Xu Jiujiu is the best auctioneer at the Royal Auction House, how could she possibly be lacking in her work?
Of course, he is only a mortal with the naked eye, so there may be some shortcomings that he cannot see.

Zhongli is a god of war; from a god's perspective, he might actually be able to spot one or two errors.

Xu Jiujiu wore a red cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her figure; every glance and smile could captivate some people's hearts.

"With Princess Jiujiu personally participating, the performance was naturally impeccable."

Zhongli remained calm and spoke without showing any emotion.

He knew perfectly well what Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu meant.

The brother and sister were not disappointed at all, since they were used to it anyway.

It was originally just a trial, and if it succeeds, everyone will be happy; if it fails, it's understandable.

If Zhongli were to be seduced by women, there would have been no rumors circulating about him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Martial God. Please call me Jiu Jiu instead. 'Princess' sounds too formal."

Xu Jiujiu wore a genuine smile on her face. She truly loved Zhongli to the core, and she would do anything to be with him.

After all, as a princess, her marriage was not something she could decide.

Being able to be with the person you love feels like a dream come true.

It's a pity that Zhongli doesn't think highly of her because she's not good enough yet!

Gui Zhong: I am the Demon God of Dust, am I good enough? Heh~

Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded slightly in response.

What's wrong with today's young people?
Just then, Xu Jiawei seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Hyotei sitting next to Zhong Li, lost in thought.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

It's just a mere ten-thousand-year-old soul bone; once it's given away, it's gone!

"Jiujiu, the auction will start soon, you should go and get ready."

"By the way, bring back the right arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion from the auction house."

As soon as Xu Jiawei finished speaking, Bingdi's expression changed, but fortunately Xuedi pulled her back in time.

"Bing'er, let's wait and see."

"Ah."

Xu Jiawei saw it clearly, and he felt his scalp tingle. Fortunately, the auction house had not yet started auctioning the Ice Jade Scorpion's right arm bone, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xu Jiujiu was a smart woman. Seeing the Ice Emperor's reaction, she immediately understood what Xu Jiawei was planning to do, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Without any hesitation, after greeting Zhongli, Xu Jiujiu quickly left.

She's a Soul King level expert; high heels can't restrict her at all, especially since she's a top-ranking female noble. Let alone jogging in high heels, even fighting in them would be a piece of cake!
A moment later, a very antique-looking box was delivered to VIP Room No. 1. At this moment, Xu Jiawei spoke up and said, "Miss Hyotei, please be patient and allow me to explain in detail."

"This soul bone was not hunted by the auction house or even the royal family, but was sold to the auction house by someone, which is why it is here."

"Based on our examination, this is a right arm soul bone born from an Ice Jade Scorpion that is about 60,000 years old, and it possesses a solidified soul skill: Ice Explosion Technique..."

ice King:"……"

From anger at the hunting of his people to shock, Hyotei's change of heart was faster than anyone could have imagined.

If she possessed the Ice Blast Technique, it wouldn't be impossible for her to defeat the Snow Emperor in the far north!
How could such outstanding members of their tribe be hunted down by humans?

Damn humans!
"Humanity……"

Before Bingdi could say anything, Xu Jiawei continued, "Miss Bingdi, this soul bone belongs to your clan and should not be here."

"Now that we have met you, young lady, please take it back!"

ice King:"……"

This human isn't so damnable; he speaks quite nicely.

"Hmph, don't let me find out which human did this, or I'll make sure he has nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to hell!"

After saying this, Hyotei snatched the ancient box and put it into his storage soul tool.

"You human are quite sensible. I'm not the kind of Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion who likes to take advantage..."

Zhongli: "..."

A hint of pain flashed across Hyotei's face, but he still tossed Xu Jiawei a golden object.

Xu Jiawei was taken aback, took the golden object, and glanced at it subconsciously.

I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it!
The hand holding the object trembled slightly.

"Mora?"

Xu Jiawei swallowed hard, somewhat incredulous.

His original intention was to use this soul bone to forge a good relationship with Hyotei.

Although Ice Emperor is a soul beast, soul beasts can sometimes be more trustworthy than humans!

Besides, so what if she's a soul beast?
Now, she is someone who stands beside the God of War!
To everyone's surprise, Hyotei would actually offer Mora in a trade with him.

If Xu Jiawei were to exchange Mora for Gold Soul Coins, he wouldn't be affected in the slightest, not even by a small amount.

But this is Mora!

No wonder, no wonder even a powerful figure like Hyotei showed a hint of heartache on his face.

Mora is of little use to ordinary people.

But for a powerhouse like Hyotei, this is the hope of becoming a god!

"Miss Hyotei, this is too precious, I cannot accept it!"

"I am merely returning the bodies of your people; there is no need for such a grand gesture in return!"

Xu Jiawei declined.

A look of conflict flashed across Hyotei's face, but her proud and arrogant nature ultimately got her into trouble.

"Hmph, there's no reason for me to take back what I've given away. Are you looking down on me?"

"I never meant that!"

"In that case, I'll accept this Mora. Thank you, Miss Hyotei!"

Xu Jiawei carefully put Mora away before looking at everyone again.

ice King:"……"

If Xu Jiawei refused even once more, she would take back the Mora and give him a verbal promise instead.

Why didn't this guy refuse?
