Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 41 Shi Ye Takes Tang Nian to the Auction House

A few days later, the group finally returned safely to Shrek Academy outside Soto City.

"Finally back! It feels so good to be home!" Oscar shouted exaggeratedly.

Zhao Wuji glared at him. "It's getting dark. Keep your voices down. I'm going to report to the dean. You guys go back to your dorms and rest."

Everyone was tired after a long day of travel, and they all headed back to their respective dormitories.

Ning Rongrong stopped Tang San. "Tang San, may I talk to you alone?"

Oscar, standing next to Tang San, stiffened for a moment. He had been showering Ning Rongrong with attention these past few days, and she hadn't refused him. Their relationship had grown much closer.

Although Ning Rongrong felt a pang of jealousy when she said she wanted to talk to Tang San alone about Oscar, she didn't say anything. "You two talk, I'm leaving now."

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Can't the two of us listen either?"

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Rongrong, you talk to your brother, we're leaving now." With that, Tang Nian pulled Xiao Wu away.

In the dead of night, the hustle and bustle of the day has faded away, replaced by tranquility and solitude.

"Little Tang Nian—"

Tang Nian, who was fast asleep, was awakened by the noise. She turned her head to look at Xiao Wu opposite her and found that she was sleeping soundly, as if she had not heard the noise.

There's only one person left who can call her Xiao Tang Nian.

Tang Nian rubbed her eyes, groggily put on her clothes, and went outside.

Under the moonlight, Shi Ye leaned against a big tree with his hands in his pockets. His long hair flowed like black feathers, and there was a faint smile between his brows and eyes. He was a refined and elegant man, gentle and gentle as jade.

Just woken up, Tang Nian was a little annoyed. She pouted slightly, as if in silent protest, or perhaps in a coquettish tone. "What are you doing here so late?"

Shi Ye stepped forward and ruffled her hair. "I'll take you to a nice place."

Tang Nian curled her lip, a hint of displeasure in her expression. "How did you know I was here? Were you following me?"

Shi Ye smiled helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. With such a large family and business, finding out information about you is a piece of cake."

Tang Nian frowned. She had been hiding for so long because she didn't want people to know her true strength. As the saying goes, the greatest hermit lives in the city.

Could it be that all that effort over such a long period of time was so easily discovered?

"What other information have you uncovered? About me?"

Shi Ye pretended to be deep in thought, keeping everyone in suspense.

Tang Nian was getting anxious. "Tell me quickly! Do you know what my martial soul is?"

Shi Ye chuckled listlessly. "I didn't find that out. All I know is that you study at Shrek Academy, and your dean is Flander, the four-eyed owl. Am I right?"

Tang Nian narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe Shi Ye's words at all; he only spoke half-truths. "Where are you taking me so late?"

"Come with me and you'll see." With that, Shi Ye put his arm around Tang Nian's shoulder, and in an instant, the two of them disappeared from Shrek Academy.

Shi Ye led Tang Nian to stop in front of a luxurious building. Before them lay a golden, magnificent, and lavishly decorated structure.

Tang Nian, who had been a diligent public servant in her previous life, had never seen anything like this before. She opened her mouth wide in surprise, just like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

A faint smile appeared on Shi Ye's lips. He took out a mask and put it on Tang Nian, then took out another one and put it on himself. Only then did he pat the stunned Tang Nian and say, "Let's go."

Tang Nian quickly followed. The interior was even more luxurious than the exterior, with precious white jade bricks paving the floor and magnificent crystal chandeliers hanging down, all showcasing the opulence of the place.

Tang Nian leaned closer to Shi Ye and whispered, "What kind of place is this? You're not planning to sell me, are you?"

Shi Ye looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, and asked, "Should I sell you in pieces, or sell you by the piece?"

Tang Nian's laughter was clear and melodious as she walked inside.

Shi Ye was taken aback, then quickly caught up. "What are you laughing at?"

"This is an auction house; they've already put up bidding paddles over there. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Shi Ye's eyes shimmered like clear water, his thin lips slightly curved, and the two walked inside side by side.

Once inside, Shi Ye gave the hostess a plaque. Tang Nian didn't see what it was, but the two of them were seated in the first row, which was also the closest to the auction stage.

Tang Nian tilted her head and glanced at the masks, noticing that everyone was wearing a different color. She asked softly, "Why are the mask colors different?"

"It's the same as the color grading of spirit rings. The lowest is white, and it goes up step by step. Above red is gold, which is the top guest of this auction house."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Tang Nian glanced at Shi Ye's mask. "You're wearing a gold one, so you're a top-tier guest?"

"We're a large family business, there's nothing we can do about it."

Tang Nian knew he was going to say that, and she asked curiously, "What are you here to buy today?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Shi Ye whispered in Tang Nian's ear.

At this moment, the auctioneer in the purple dress on the stage had already walked behind the auction table with a smile on her face.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. I am Fu Bai, the auctioneer for tonight's auction."

After she finished speaking, she walked out from behind the auction stage, smiled, and bowed to the audience, which immediately won her a round of applause.

Back at the table, Fu Bai smiled slightly and said, "Today's auction is the most precious soul bone auction in the entire soul master world. All the items are soul bones that are over a thousand years old. In addition, to ensure that all of you have a worthwhile trip, we have a final mysterious gift. Please do not miss it. Please invite the staff to present the first item of the day."

Auctioneer Fu Bai smiled and said, "Our number one lot is a three-thousand-year-old Storm Claw Soul Bone, which can enhance a Soul Master's speed and strength, as well as the power of wind and light-type Soul Skills. It can form a sharp blade on the arm, which can inflict fatal cutting damage on enemies."

"Starting bid: 5,000 gold soul coins. Each bid must be at least 100 gold soul coins. Let's begin."

As soon as Fu Bai finished speaking, someone immediately raised a sign, "Ten thousand gold soul coins."

This soul bone is the best choice for both agility-based soul masters and those with wind or light elemental attributes.

As a result, the auction price rose steadily, quickly reaching 15,000 gold soul coins.

After reaching 15,000 gold soul coins, the bidding stopped as expected. Some of the previous bidders were hesitant, as everyone had a limited amount of money, and this was only the first item up for auction.

Soul bones are a precious strategic resource in the world of soul masters, and their value is immeasurable. The production of soul bones is very limited, and whether a soul beast can produce soul bones after its death depends entirely on luck.

Therefore, once a soul bone appears in the world of soul masters, it is generally regarded as a family heirloom by the sect. As long as it is not taken away by someone, it will be passed down from generation to generation.

Tang Nian knew how precious soul bones were, so she became even more curious. "Aren't soul bones supposed to be very valuable? Why are there so many soul bones being auctioned here?"
