"The royal family of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City?" Su Luo raised an eyebrow, not to be outdone, and asked in return, seemingly not taking the word 'royal family' seriously at all.
"It's nothing special."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire venue plummeted to freezing point. Some of the more timid monsters turned into sieves, not to mention the humans in the base who relied on the monsters for survival. Some were so terrified that they fainted.
"Nothing special?" The handsome male ghost repeated Su Luo's words and sneered, "What a fine 'nothing special' indeed. The owner of the Luo City Coin is truly extraordinary."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"I'm very curious. I've heard you're incredibly wealthy, and I'd like to see if your claim is true or not."
Su Luo was slightly taken aback. She guessed that the other party might take action directly, force her to agree, or simply ignore her. She never expected them to offer her a gift directly!
Try it? How? Like, try buying up your entire Ghost King City?
Just as Su Luo was wondering, several base guards carried up a sand table, on which were placed some things, like chess pieces, black and white, scattered on the huge square sand table.
"This is a town within the jurisdiction of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City." The handsome male ghost raised his hand and elegantly spread it out, pointing to the sand table. "Tonight, you and I will each place our bids, and all the places marked with black and white dots can be bid on."
"I take the black pieces, the rest are yours. The pieces that are bid on will change to the opponent's color. Half an hour later, the person who ultimately gets the most pieces will win all the areas marked as bought in this bidding."
For a moment, Su Luo doubted her ears, wondering if she had misheard.
Bidding? Buying land?
Is this still within the jurisdiction of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City? Could this strange creature be the sixth prince of the royal family? Did it specifically use this method to offer the entire Nine Netherworld Ghost King City to her?
It has to be said, she wouldn't believe it if this was not an inside man's doing.
This is really strange. They're just handing over the territory to him. I've never heard of such a bizarre request before!
Satisfied, absolutely very satisfied!
but……
Seeing Su Luo's slightly troubled expression, the handsome male ghost was full of confidence. This time, he brought enough money for the bidding. He was the owner of the Hell Metro Train and the founder of the Los Angeles Coin. Although he was powerful, he was still a bit green to challenge the entire Nine Nether Ghost King City with a ghost (human).
"Is there anything else you're dissatisfied with? As long as it pertains to the rules, I will try my best to accommodate you."
The implication is that you have to participate in this bidding event whether you want to or not; there's no way to avoid it.
Upon hearing this, the others and the ghosts all stood up and stepped aside, their eyes constantly shifting between the royal ghost and Su Luo.
“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied.” Su Luo shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about the chess pieces on the sand table. He walked to the square table, casually picked one up, and played with it in his hand. “It’s just that you, as a member of the royal family, are only offering such a small, remote, and useless territory for bidding. Isn’t that a bit too disrespectful to me?”
"If I lose, I gain nothing; if I win, I only gain some remote, dilapidated lands that your royal family doesn't want, which is also no benefit."
"On the contrary, if you win, it won't be a big deal; if you lose, you can sell these hard-to-sell places to me at a high price, and I'll become the one who takes over. Either way, I won't lose out."
"So why should I bid against you?"
The implication is that I can agree, but the offer isn't enough!
She doesn't need those few remote jurisdictions.
Unexpectedly, the young man saw through the trick at a glance. It was a complete trap. The handsome male ghost was silent for a moment, then whispered a few words to the beautiful female housekeeper behind him. It was clear that the female housekeeper was displeased. She glared at Su Luo and then told the guards to remove the sand table and replace it with another one.
Unlike the desolate land seen before, the newly reassembled sand table is bustling and prosperous, and you can even see the Guiming Palace, which was the residence of the royal family.
This is... the bustling central area of the Nine Netherworld Demon King City!
After glancing at the notes on the black and white chess pieces, Su Luo nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it.
Those who saw the markings on the chess pieces, including the charlatan, were terrified, almost to the point of having a heart attack.
This guy, is he really putting the Ghost King City up for auction?!
The two approached and shook hands in a gesture of goodwill. "Huangfu Yusheng."
"Luo Su." A name that couldn't be more fake was made up on a whim. The moment Su Luo's fingers touched the other party, a familiar system voice rang in Su Luo's mind.
'Ding, a contractable monster has been detected.'
The name of the strange creature: Huangfu Yusheng (Crown Prince).
Monster Ability: [Submission]
'Current affinity between the creature and the host: ***** (Visible after forming a contract; hint: A contract can be formed, but the host is repeatedly testing the waters.)'
The Crown Prince?!
This male ghost is actually the Crown Prince of the royal family of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City!
This... is truly a stroke of luck!
If the male ghost's status weren't so noble, Su Luo might have been annoyed at not getting what she wanted after the bidding, but since it was offered by the Crown Prince, she didn't need to be polite.
"Hahaha."
Hearing Su Luo's laughter, Huangfu Yusheng simply gazed at her intently, without stopping her or mocking her. It was more like the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years suddenly meeting and playing a game together.
However, the others present did not think that way.
Su Ai looked at the two people by the sand table and was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, the initiator of the Los Angeles currency was so young and even so handsome, completely unlike the one from the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City.
Now, she even dares to accept the bidding game from that person in the Ghost King City. She must have real strength to dare to be so arrogant. Compared to the unpredictable and noble Ghost King, this young and handsome boy is a more suitable target for her.
After all, the white moonlight is something that a strange creature of this age should possess.
The moment Su Luo appeared, Nangong Liuli, who had been covering her eyes, was helped up by Ye Qinglan, who was also disguised, and her eyes were secretly healed with a little revitalizing fluid.
It has to be said that even though her eyes were healed, the lingering fear from just making eye contact with Huangfu Yusheng was deeply ingrained in her. Whenever her gaze fell on Huangfu Yusheng, she would subconsciously look away, unwilling to investigate further, and could only look at Su Luo, who was disguised as a young man.
Noticing Nangong Liuli's gaze, Su Ai clenched her fist in dissatisfaction.
What's wrong with this woman? When she tried to seduce Huangfu Yusheng before, she caught his eye. Now that he has turned his attention to Luo Su, this woman has turned her attention to Luo Su as well.
I almost forgot, this is the woman Luo Su calls one of his own. Damn it, someone else beat me to it, and it was this person!
If the circumstances allowed, Su Ai would definitely have stepped forward and slapped that slutty vixen!
