Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 233 The Net Auction House: Twin Sisters

Welcome to LuoWang Auction House!

A hostess at the door stepped forward to greet him, a rather stiff, formulaic smile on her face. "Are you looking to buy or sell slaves?"

"We all support this here."

"By the way, a new round of slave auctions will begin in ten minutes. Would you like me to lead the way into the auction hall?"

Tang San asked, "Can I buy slaves directly?"

"Alright." Having confirmed that Tang San and his group were there to buy slaves, the receptionist smiled. "But are you really not going into the auction hall? This round of auctions features two top-quality items!"

"Top-quality? What top-quality?" Xiao Wu frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"A pair of catwomen, and—"

The hostess drawled out her words, waiting until Xiao Wu was getting a little impatient before slowly explaining, "A girl without a martial spirit."

"No martial soul?" Xiao Wu was shocked. Her first reaction was disbelief. "How could there be no martial soul? Could it be the original martial soul?"

"Although true spirit forms are rare, we've all heard of them because of Master Tang San's new classification of spirit forms. If it really is a true spirit form, how could we not know?" The hostess smiled slightly and then introduced the girl's background. "She is only six years old and has been a homeless person. No one knows where she came from, but she is very beautiful. Even I, a woman with a normal sexual orientation, can't help but want to get close to her."

"But she was also extremely cold and indifferent to everyone."

"Moreover, although she has no soul power, she is quite strong. Even soul masters cannot compare to her in terms of pure strength."

However, Xiao Wu's focus was only on one thing: six years old.

So young, yet they were captured and auctioned off as slaves?

They have absolutely no humanity!

Human morality has two completely opposite upper and lower limits.

"Is that so? Well, we'd like to take a look. We're preparing to attend this auction. Lead the way." Tang San handed the hostess a silver soul coin and said casually.

"Four distinguished guests, please follow me!" After receiving the tip, the hostess's smile became much more genuine, and her tone became more enthusiastic. She asked, "Would you like a private room? It's absolutely private, with excellent soundproofing, and we'll provide snacks, fruit, drinks, and towels."

"No need... never mind, I'll take one room." Tang San wanted to refuse, but considering the feelings of the three girls, he decided to take one room so that he wouldn't have to wear a mask or veil all the time.

After arranging a private room for Tang San and his group, the hostess left. Before closing the door, she deliberately reminded them, "If you need anything, you can pull the rope behind the door. I can come and serve you four guests at any time."

The private room was small and simply furnished, with sofas on both sides and a coffee table in the middle, on which various snacks and fruits were laid out. Directly opposite the door was a small balcony from which one could see the auction hall.

"The view from here is really great. Not only can you see the auction stage, but you can also see the seats below." Xiao Wu leaned on the balcony railing, looking down at the people attending the auction. "That's what you call 'the higher you stand, the farther you see,' right?"

"That's certainly the truth..." Tang San took Guang Ling's hand and walked to Xiao Wu's side. He placed his hands on the balcony railing and suddenly saw several familiar faces among the people below.

Although most of the people attending the auction were wearing masks, black robes, and cloaks, Tang San still recognized them based on some specific habitual movements.

Snow Star.

Xue Qinghe and Wang Chen.

And Ning Fengzhi.

Xue Xing's purpose in coming here was the simplest: to buy high-quality female slaves. However, this was not the Tian Dou Grand Auction House, and perhaps to keep a low profile, she did not request a private room.

Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, was probably attracted by the little girl who didn't have a martial spirit. After all, she was also cultivating talents with high-quality cultivation abilities—the little girl was quite strong and might have some kind of unique bloodline.

As for Wang Chen, he was probably just a bodyguard who came along to join in the fun.

As for Ning Fengzhi's purpose, it should be similar to Xue Qinghe's; he also wanted to investigate why the little girl who couldn't awaken her martial soul was so strong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Net Auction!"

As the lights shone, the auctioneer slowly emerged from backstage, a confident smile on his face, holding a soul-guided megaphone in his hand, and excitedly shouted.

"Our Luo Wang Auction House is dedicated to recruiting the highest quality slaves from across the continent to serve all nobles!"

"This auction will feature two exceptional items!"

Please stay tuned!

"Now, please welcome the first item to be auctioned!"

The curtain behind the stage was drawn back, and two scantily clad maids pushed out a black, square prison cell containing a pair of twins with collars around their necks and lifeless eyes.

Under the auctioneer's instructions, the twins were extremely obedient, showing no sign of resistance, like puppets rather than living people.

"These twins came from Soto City in the Kingdom of Barak. They had originally been with a young master, but unfortunately he abandoned them. They had no choice but to marry a local nobleman as a concubine, but they were ostracized by the nobleman's wife. After many twists and turns, they finally came here."

The auctioneer introduced the twins' background with a smile, showing absolutely no sympathy. "Alright, I won't waste any more words. After some training, they're as docile as kittens."

Starting bid: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone shouted, "Twenty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Thirty-one thousand!"

Hearing the offer from below, Xiao Wu was eager to try and said to Tang San, "Third Brother, shall we save them?"

"Alright." Tang San nodded in agreement and gestured for Xiao Wu to make a price offer.

"One hundred thousand!"

These words immediately caused quite a stir.

Most people who attended the auction thought the twins were worth at most a little over 40,000.

If she's still a virgin, the price could be raised to over 50,000.

100,000...

You think you have too much money at home?

The auctioneer didn't care whether Xiao Wu's family was rich or not, and immediately started counting down: "One hundred thousand once, any higher bids? One hundred thousand twice!"

boom!

"One hundred thousand three times!" The auctioneer struck the gavel, sealing the deal, and shouted, "Congratulations to the guest in Box 3 for winning the first item! The twin slave girls will be delivered directly to your box. You can pay now or after the auction."

After Xiao Wu won the bid for the twin female slaves, the second "auction item" was brought up, also a pair of twins, but a pair of men in their thirties, all of them muscular, even their faces were covered in muscles.

According to the host, these brothers are said to possess the legendary bloodline of the Titans, an ancient inherited lineage that is now extremely rare, with only these two remaining.

Moreover, both of them possess extremely rare body-type martial souls.

The older brother's name is Fan Niu, and his martial spirit is his chest; the younger brother's name is Fan Ma, and his martial spirit is his back.

In terms of defense, they are not as strong as powerful beast spirits, but they are very strong, and both of them are soul masters with soul power at level twelve.

The reason these two were put up for auction was not because they had offended anyone or committed any unforgivable crime, but because they had discussed it themselves and voluntarily became slaves in the hope of being noticed by a nobleman.

Why?

The two became first-ring Soul Masters in their thirties. Their cultivation talent was limited, but they ate a lot, and their families gradually could no longer afford to support them. When they went to find work, they made a mess of jobs such as carrying bricks and rice and flour because of their great strength.

They can't do the rough work that ordinary people do.

But in the world of Soul Masters, they didn't know what they could do. When the big and small families heard that they were over thirty years old and only at level twelve, they didn't want to say a word.

Originally, they wanted to join the Spirit Hall in the local town, but the local hall master had already reserved all the relevant positions for his relatives and friends, so he refused on the grounds that they ate too much.

Thus, being far inferior to the top (Soul Masters) but better than the bottom (ordinary people), they were ignorant and heard that working for nobles would ensure they were well-fed.

So they decided to sell themselves into servitude, hoping that a wealthy man would take notice of them and give them a job and food.

"Tsk~ So adorably simple." Tang San had a slight idea and bought the two of them for 50,000 gold soul coins, since those who possessed a true martial soul were quite rare.

When the twin sisters and the twin Titan brothers were brought to the private room, Tang San swiped his card, settling the payment and the goods.

"You don't need to be so reserved from now on." Xiao Wu walked up to the twin sisters, untied the collars around their necks, and took out two white dresses from her white jade belt, putting them on.

"Thank you." X2

A glimmer of light appeared in their eyes; they were somewhat flattered, but also understood that they had encountered a kind master, and their future should be secure.

"You two came from Soto City?" Tang San asked the two women after unlocking the chains and shackles on Fan Niu and Fan Ma.

"Yes, young master." The older sister nodded.

"Is the young master mentioned in the auctioneer's introduction Dai Mubai?" Tang San asked curiously.

How did you know?

The younger sister exclaimed in surprise, then realized she had lost her composure and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry... it really was him."

"No need to apologize. Your attitude just now made me realize that neither of you are truly numb yet."

Tang San released the Blue Silver Emperor, and five spirit rings appeared. The first spirit ring flashed, and Endless Recovery was activated, healing the bruises, wounds, and even internal injuries on the four people. Then he placed the four contracts of sale on the coffee table. "From now on, you can live in the Silver Blue Manor. If you don't like it, you can take the contracts of sale and return to your freedom to do whatever you want."

Silver Blue Manor?

The four were stunned, realizing something, and stared at Tang San in disbelief: "Could you be that master of spirit theory, and also the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall...?"
