Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 90 Not short of money

Huo Yuhao and his two companions were respectfully led by a waiter into an elegantly decorated VIP room.

The private room was quiet and private, with delicate soul-guiding lamps embedded in the dark walls, emitting a soft glow.

A huge one-way soul-guided glass wall faces the auction stage below, allowing a clear view of the outside, while preventing outsiders from seeing into the private room.

A set of comfortable dark leather sofas with a soft touch is placed in the center of the room.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa were various exquisite snacks and drinks. Two maids dressed in light gold cheongsams stood quietly to the side, with just the right smiles on their faces, ready to serve the VIPs at any time.

"Please make yourselves at home, distinguished guests. Please feel free to let us know if you need anything."

The head maidservant gave a graceful bow.

Huo Yuhao calmly walked to the center of the sofa and sat down, the best spot for a view.

Seeing this, Ning Tian gracefully stepped forward and naturally sat down to his left.

Wu Feng gently bit her lip, but quickly sat down to Huo Yuhao's right.

This seemingly random seating arrangement made Wu Feng's heart beat a little faster.

She could clearly feel the faint aura emanating from Huo Yuhao beside her, a scent that blended the coolness of ice and snow with the warmth of the sun, making her ears burn slightly.

Ning Tian elegantly picked up a cup of floral tea, took a small sip, and then looked up at the maid standing beside him to ask, "What is the scale of tonight's auction? Are there any special treasures?"

The maid bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Reporting to our distinguished guest, tonight is a Level 4 auction, mainly auctioning some Level 4 and below soul tools and rare materials, targeting Soul Masters and Soul Kings as the main customers. As for particularly rare items... according to past practice, the probability of them appearing at a Level 4 auction is not high."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of disappointment, but it was quickly concealed by a perfect smile.

As the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she knew all too well what a "Level 4 Auction" meant—it was rare to find truly eye-catching treasures here.

"Looks like there won't be much of a chance to splurge on Yuhao tonight..."

She sighed softly to herself.

"However, being able to avoid other people and be alone with him seems like a good thing."

This thought stirred a secret sense of shyness within her.

While Ning Tian was pondering to himself, Wu Feng, sitting on the other side of Huo Yuhao, was having a fierce internal struggle.

Her hands, resting on her knees, clenched slightly as she sensed the presence beside her, feeling both nervous and expectant.

"Just a little closer... he shouldn't notice, right?"

Wu Feng took a deep breath, pretended to adjust his sitting posture, and moved his body very slowly a short distance towards Huo Yuhao.

She stopped when her arm was almost touching Huo Yuhao's arm and she could clearly feel the warmth emanating from his body. She felt both nervous and filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

How could Huo Yuhao's keen senses escape this subtle movement and the sudden increase in the girl's heart rate beside him?

He turned his head and looked at Wu Feng with a hint of inquiry.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that in just one year, this once fiery-tempered girl had blossomed into a stunning beauty.

Her striking red hair had grown to shoulder length, with slightly curled ends, like flowing flames, making her fair skin appear even more radiant.

Her once youthful figure is now curvaceous, her full breasts creating a beautiful curve in her school uniform, and her slender waist is so delicate it could be grasped with a single hand.

She was like a rosebud about to bloom, radiating alluring youthful vitality.

"This girl has changed quite a bit."

A hint of surprise flashed across Huo Yuhao's eyes. "It seems she has indeed grown a lot this year."

His gaze inadvertently swept over Ning Tian, ​​who was elegant but slender, beside him.

"However, it seems that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's inheritance places more emphasis on auxiliary abilities and temperament cultivation."

At this moment, Ning Tian, ​​who was good at observing people's expressions, keenly noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze as he looked at Wu Feng.

She suddenly chuckled, breaking the silence in the private room, and said in a deliberately teasing tone, "Yuhao, you know what? Wufeng talks about you every day, and she trains much harder than before, hoping to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"Young Master! You...you mustn't be talking nonsense!"

Wu Feng's face flushed red instantly, both ashamed and anxious. She glanced at Huo Yuhao in a flustered manner, then quickly lowered her head and retorted in a voice barely audible.

Seeing Wu Feng's embarrassed appearance, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile with a hint of pleasure.

"Wu Feng, your cultivation speed is quite fast. You've advanced to Soul Venerable in such a short time."

These words made Wu Feng's heart race, and a surge of joy washed away his previous shyness.

She had been training desperately all year, every late night of arduous practice and every breakthrough to her limits was all for the sake of getting closer to him.

Hearing his approval now makes all the hard work worthwhile.

She mustered her courage and moved closer to him, so close she could almost feel his breath.

Oh dear, how embarrassing! Yuhao is clearly in our class, but in the end, Wang Dong'er and Ma Xiaotao snatched him away.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Huo Yuhao's profile so close to hers, her red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However, just as she mustered her courage, the soul-guided screen in the private room suddenly lit up. A pleasant female voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Distinguished guests, good evening! Welcome to the Starlight Auction House. Tonight's auction is about to begin..."

The announcement that the auction was officially starting rang out at just the right moment, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the private room.

Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze from Wu Feng's flushed face to the lit screen.

He knew that the main event of the night was about to begin.

Ning Tian also composed himself and stared intently at the screen.

Although it was only a Level 4 auction, she still hoped to find something that would give her a chance to express her feelings to Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the screen...

An elegant woman in a purple dress began introducing the first item for auction: "Distinguished guests, the bidding for the first item will now begin, a Level 3 Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray. The starting price is 1,000 Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must be at least 50 Gold Soul Coins higher."

Ning Tian glanced at the soul tool, then turned to Huo Yuhao with a smile: "Yuhao, what do you think of this one? Although it's only level three, it has a paralysis effect, so it's quite useful."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "Indeed, it's a good support for low-level Soul Masters."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's confirmation, a smile flashed in Ning Tian's eyes, and he then said to the maid beside him, "Two thousand."

The maid immediately pressed the bidding button. Soon, the auctioneer's clear voice rang out: "Two thousand gold soul coins, a VIP has bid two thousand, anyone else want to raise the price?"

There was a murmur in the auction hall, but no one raised the price further.

In the end, Ning Tian won the bid for this soul tool.

The next few items were all ordinary level three and four soul tools. Huo Yuhao just looked at them quietly, without showing much interest.
