Night falls.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, however, it was as bright as day, and people were rushing around everywhere.

Xiaoman stood at the window, glancing at them with an indifferent expression.

Suddenly, a man with a brisk walk and a dark complexion came into view.

He happened to be looking this way, and his eyes immediately lit up. He opened his mouth wide, drooling, "What a perfect woman."

Xiaoman hated this kind of lecherous scoundrel. She glared at him angrily and unleashed two icy, bone-chilling blows upon the man.

"Ouch!" The man staggered, a flash of displeasure crossing his face, but he quickly recovered and grinned, "Little sister, do you have a man?"

Xiaoman's lips twitched, but she pretended not to be angry and stared at him.

The man felt uneasy under her gaze and turned his head away, thinking to himself, "She's staying in the VIP room, so she must be a scion sent by some powerful force. To avoid causing trouble for my family, I should find out more about her before making any plans."

He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "My name is Mu Bai, the third young master of the Mu family. May I ask how you should address me, little sister?"

"The Mu family? Which Mu family?" Xiaoman pretended to be deep in thought.

"Batu Starfield, Mu Star, Mu Family." Mu Bai said smugly, imagining Xiao Man's surprised expression.

Xiaoman had never heard of him before, but she couldn't show it, so she pretended to suddenly realize, "So you are the third young master of the Mu family. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Mu Bai sensed her sudden change in attitude and was overjoyed. "May I ask how to address you, little sister?"

"We must never tell him our real names." After a brief moment of thought, a smile appeared on his lips. "Fang Yi."

"Fang Yi?" Mu Bai searched his memory repeatedly but couldn't find any information about the Fang family. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "May I ask which star region Miss Fang comes from?"

Xiaoman snorted coldly, her face full of anger, and prepared to close the window.

Mu Bai was a little anxious and rushed up quickly.

At the same time, Xiaoman's peripheral vision fell on his waist, where more than five spatial bags were bound.

"I was just wondering where to find a large space bag, and it delivered itself right to my door." A slow smile crept onto his lips as he deliberately slowed down the speed at which he closed the window.

Mu Bai hurried as fast as he could and finally caught up, panting, "I am so sorry for rudeness, beautiful lady."

He quickly pulled out a spatial bag, took out several precious items, and handed them over, saying, "This is just a small token of my appreciation, Miss Fang, please accept it."

At first glance, these items appeared to be mere luxury goods. However, after testing them with my internal energy, I was astonished. "Such abundant primal force! I never imagined this man was covered in treasures. Once the auction is over, I must plunder him clean."

He took it with a look of disgust. "You think you can please me with this little bit?"

"Of course it's not enough." Mu Bai took out several more items, which emitted wisps of pure primal energy even without being activated by internal energy. "Please accept them, Miss Fang."

"I'll forgive you since you're so sincere." Xiaoman suppressed the urge to burst out laughing, threw the things on the table, and muttered, "You didn't even send a space bag. I have nowhere to put them."

Mu Bai's lips twitched, and he clenched his fist, thinking to himself, "Little vixen, you have quite the appetite. I swear, once I get my hands on you, I'll have you riding on my back all the time, and see how you can still pretend to be so high and mighty then."

Forcing a smile, she pulled out a spatial bag containing only food and water. "I just didn't have time to deliver it."

Xiaoman took it, overjoyed, and waved her hand, saying, "I'm tired, see you at the auction."

"Looking forward to seeing Miss Fang again, goodbye!" Mu Bai cupped his hands in greeting, then turned away, his fist clenched, a sinister glint in his eyes...

On the other side.

The auction was about to begin when Enkos arrived outside Little Man's house with several men carrying trays.

"Sir, are you there?"

Xiaoman replied lazily, "Come in!"

The group entered the house, and Enkos gestured to his men carrying the trays. They immediately put down the items and backed away.

"I heard from Young Master Mu that you like these things, so I prepared some. Please accept them."

"Just put it there," Xiaoman glanced at it.

Enkos clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoman asked, somewhat displeased.

“It’s nothing much.” Enkos appeared extremely respectful, but was actually secretly observing Xiaoman’s reaction. “I just received news that the Ancient Shu Empire, together with the Elf Empire, is preparing for a full-scale war against the Chihun Empire.”

I noticed that your fighter jets resembled those of the Crimson Hun Empire, so I informed you.

"Is that all?" Xiaoman appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "If there's no other information, you can leave now."

Enkos pondered for a few seconds. "There's another piece of news. One of the three leaders of the Elven race, Ferdinand Yell, seems to have taken a large group of his people to a star system called the Sun. I wonder if this news will be of any use to you, sir?"

A strange light flashed in Xiaoman's eyes. Afraid that he would notice, she quickly used her inner strength to cover it up and pretended to be extremely impatient, "Wasting my time."

Enkos was shocked, quickly bowed, and left the room.

Once outside, he thought to himself, "Judging from her reaction just now, she must be related to the Chihun Empire. I just don't know what that relationship is."

He went through all the scenes of his encounter with her in his mind but couldn't find anything amiss. However, he remained cautious and secretly recalled all the experts in case of emergency.

It's 10 PM.

The annual auction has begun, drawing huge crowds and creating an unprecedented spectacle.

The towering Titan slowly walked to the center of the stage, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Welcome everyone who has traveled from afar to attend the annual Treasure Pavilion Auction. Without further ado, let's begin the auction."

Nodding to the left, the stunningly beautiful elven girl pushed the cart slowly to the center of the stage and lifted the red cloth.

The golden light shimmered so brightly that it was blinding.

"This is... a level 6 energy crystal core?"

"Damn, this is the main event right off the bat. This year's auction is bound to be unprecedented."

The host smiled and gestured for everyone to be quiet. "Level 6 energy crystal core, starting price 100 million gold coins. Bidding begins now."

"One hundred million!"

"One hundred and ten million!"

"One hundred and fifty million!"

In the very center of the second floor, a middle-aged man lying on a deck chair called out lazily.

Everyone turned to look.

"Anyone else with over 150 million?" The host's gaze swept quickly across the crowd, a bright smile on his face.

Xiaoman pushed open the window on the third floor and held up two fingers, "Two hundred million!"

"Is this guy crazy?"

"They raised the price by fifty million right off the bat, are they even letting anyone else compete?"

"Are all the people sitting on the third floor this willful?"

The languid middle-aged man sat up straight, stood up, and looked downstairs. "Miss, I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you targeting me?"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him. "It's an auction, the highest bidder wins!"

"You?" A venomous glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. "We'll see." He suddenly raised his sign. "Two hundred and ten million."

"Two hundred and ten million and one yuan!" Xiaoman's lips curled into an increasingly wide smile.

The auctioneers were in an uproar.

"Haha, we're really going after him, we'll get an extra piece of the pie."

"We've already seen a great show since we arrived! This trip was definitely worthwhile!"

The middle-aged man's face turned pale and then red, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from him. "Trying to outdo me in ruthlessness, huh? Two hundred and twenty million."

“No matter how much he pays, I’ll still have one more than him.” Xiaoman waved her VIP card.

"Look, the middle-aged man looks like he's swallowed a dead fly."

"Where, where?"

"Hey you, get out of my way so I can see the show."

The entire auction house was staring at the middle-aged man, which made him even angrier, and he rushed upstairs.

Suddenly, a powerful expert at the early stage of the fifth level stopped him, "Trying to cause trouble?"

The middle-aged man was startled, and only then did he realize what was happening. He glared fiercely at Xiaoman and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Xiaoman chose to ignore it.

"Two hundred and fifty million!" The middle-aged man raised the sign again.

This six-star energy crystal core is worth at most 200 million, but now the bid has reached 250 million, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

Xiaoman didn't raise the price, but smiled broadly and cupped her hands in greeting, "Congratulations, sir."

"Damn it!" The middle-aged man was already burning with rage. If his subordinates had reminded him in time, he would definitely have attacked Xiaoman.

The host was already beaming with joy, and with a final decision, the middle-aged man received the energy crystal.

"The second item up for auction is a bronze statue of the Force!" The host paused deliberately for a moment, "Don't be fooled by its appearance. This item is brimming with unclaimed Force."

These words immediately caused an uproar.

"Holy crap, this year's auction items are insane."

"If I had known there were so many good things, I should have brought all the family's money with me."

"Who can argue with that?"

Most of the people below were extremely annoyed.

Representatives of some powerful families in the corner of the second floor also felt a sense of crisis and immediately instructed their subordinates to find a way to prepare more payment coins before the auction ended.

Enkos and Wannu watched everything unfold, grinning from ear to ear.

"I really didn't expect things to turn out like this after she stirred things up like this."

"indeed."

Enkos's smile vanished as he took out a special communication device. "Hurry up and hype it up to maximize profits."

"Understood." The host's mind raced. "The auction will now begin, with a starting price of 300 million gold coins."

Everyone's minds were buzzing, and they stood there stunned.

For the first few seconds, the host had a smile on his face, but the more he talked, the more flustered he became.

The highest estimated price for these bronze statues was less than 300 million, but he immediately offered a reserve price 20 million higher than the expected price. Who would dare to bid?

Just as the host was breaking out in a cold sweat, Xiaoman slowly raised the sign, "Three hundred and fifty million."

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone heard it clearly, and disbelief flashed in their eyes.

"Even if you're rich, you can't be this reckless!"

"Exactly, this is a large-scale auction. If you make it just for one person, it loses its meaning."

Xiaoman's lips slowly curled up. "I'm just naive and rich, so what?"

Everyone fell silent.

At the same time, the old man next to the middle-aged man nudged him, saying, "Young Master, we can also use the same methods she used to trick us to trick her."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he quickly held up a sign: "Three hundred and fifty million and one yuan."

"Three hundred and eighty million."

"Three hundred and eighty million and one yuan."

"Four hundred million."

"Four hundred million and one yuan."
