Her words silenced the entire venue.

All eyes were focused on that small piece of red cloth, filled with curiosity, anticipation, and a mix of other emotions.

Qian Daoliu's breathing slowed down. He was almost certain that this was an extraordinary treasure!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, DouDou's hand once again grasped a corner of the velvet cloth.

"Now, let us unveil together this gift that can touch the soul!"

"Whoosh!"

Red cloth flutters in the wind.

On the silver tray, a comb lay quietly.

A seemingly ordinary, even somewhat crude... wooden comb.

The wood was ordinary, the design was simple, there were no fancy carvings, and there was not a trace of soul power fluctuation.

It looks like the kind of thing you can buy three for one copper soul coin at a roadside stall.

An eerie silence fell over the entire room once again.

Everyone stared at the wooden comb, momentarily unable to process what it was.

In the top-tier private room, Qian Daoliu's straightened back froze instantly. The sharp light in his eyes also solidified.

What... is this?

On the auction stage, DouDou picked up the wooden comb as if it were a rare treasure.

"This item is called the 'True Feelings Touching Comb'."

She introduced it slowly in an elegiac tone:

"This is an ordinary wooden comb, but when the user combs someone else's hair with genuine emotion, one of the following effects may be triggered randomly."

She paused, then held up one finger.

"One, increase hair volume by one."

"Second, reduce dandruff by one."

"Third, today's fortune has increased by 0.01%."

Finally, she added, "The more genuine the emotion, the higher the probability of triggering the effect."

quiet.

A deathly silence.

If the previous article on "Postpartum Care of Sows" was unexpected, then this "heartfelt and touching comb" is simply unbelievable.

Increase hair volume by one? Decrease dandruff by one?

What kind of effect is this?

"puff--"

Finally, someone realized what was happening and spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore! Add one more hair?! Do you mean add one more hair?!"

"I thought it was some kind of divine treasure! Turns out it just helps my wife lose a dandruff scalp when I comb her hair?!"

"A 0.01% increase in luck? What does that mean? Does it mean I can pick up an extra copper soul coin when I go out? Hahahaha!"

"Liuli Tian! Sect Leader Ning! I would call you the number one performance artist on the continent!"

Laughter erupted once again, even more so than before.

Many people laughed so hard they clutched their stomachs, tears streaming down their faces, feeling like they had all the laughs they could ever have in their lifetime.

The sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, Tianxiang Huyanzhen, was laughing so hard he was practically lying on the table, and the entire private room was shaking with his laughter.

"A talent... an unparalleled genius!"

Inside the No. 1 private room, a crisp "click" sounded.

The teacup in Qian Daoliu's hand was crushed into dust by him. The scalding tea mixed with ceramic shards flowed through his fingers, but he was completely unaware.

His chest heaved violently, and the muscles in his face were contorted with extreme anger.

His golden eyes burned with a fury that seemed to materialize.

You're kidding me!

This Ning Liu is playing me for a fool! He's treating all the Soul Masters on the continent, including him, the peerless Douluo, like a monkey!

First the sow, then the comb!

This is no auction! This is clearly a meticulously planned, grand humiliation targeting him and the Spirit Hall!

On the auction stage, DouDou completely ignored the frenzy below and continued to shout in her passionate voice:

"The 'True Feelings Touching Comb' starts at 100 Gold Soul Coins! Each bid must be at least 10 Gold Soul Coins higher!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, for your and your partner's beautiful hair, and for that elusive fortune, let the bidding begin!"

"I'll pay 110! I'll buy it and let my bald husband try it out! What if it really grows a hair?" a wealthy woman shouted, drawing a burst of laughter.

"I'll pay 150! I have a lot of dandruff! I need it!"

"Two hundred! I just want to see if my feelings for my wife are worth a comb!"

"250! This number paired with this comb is absolutely perfect!"

The venue was once again filled with joy.

People have completely let loose, treating this auction like a grand party, and fully participating in this "farce" orchestrated by Liuli Tian.

Only the No. 1 private room had an atmosphere as cold as winter.

Qian Renxue looked at the lively scene below, then at her grandfather beside her, whose breathing was extremely unstable. For the first time, a trace of confusion appeared in her usually cold eyes.

She suddenly felt as if she... couldn't understand the world at all.
