The entire place fell silent, save for Dai Mubai's heavy breathing.
"Zhu Qing..."
Dai Mubai spoke again, his previous arrogance completely gone, replaced by a hint of pleading.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong."
He struggled to sit up.
"Without you, what...what will I do?"
This sudden change of heart was naturally because he had thought of something.
If Zhu Zhuqing really doesn't go back with him, how will he face that bastard Davis alone?
Even if he gets the soul bone at this auction, he has no chance of winning against his older brother and his fiancée's fusion skill of martial souls alone!
Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled slightly.
Looking at the disheveled Dai Mubai on the ground, a corner of her heart seemed to be gently touched.
But the scene at the auction where he was willing to sacrifice her reputation vividly resurfaced.
Ning Liu's earlier words, like a warning bell, echoed in her ears: "Your choice..."
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and slowly shook her head.
"Dai Mubai, it's too late."
Her voice was clear and cold, without the slightest hesitation.
"No! Zhuqing, give me another chance!"
Dai Mubai suddenly raised his voice, trying to hold onto the last glimmer of hope with a plea.
"I swear, I will definitely..."
"Second Prince."
Ning Liu interrupted him with a calm voice.
"You already know you were wrong."
At this moment, Ning Liu's eyes seemed to be able to see right through people's hearts.
"So you're scared now."
"I'm afraid that without Zhu Qing, you won't be able to stand up to your elder brother, right?"
Dai Mubai's face turned pale and then red, as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and all his explanations were stuck in his throat.
The onlookers, who had been intimidated by Ning Liuhundi's strength, couldn't help but whisper among themselves when they saw Dai Mubai's inconsistent and shameful behavior.
"Tsk tsk, where did that arrogance go? I thought you were so tough."
"Is this all the ambition the prince of the Star Luo Empire has?"
"He admits defeat and tries to use a girl as a shield; it's shameful."
The whispers were like needles piercing Dai Mubai's heart, making his already pale face even more ashen.
Ning Liu stopped looking at him and turned to give instructions.
"Wang Wei."
"The venue owner."
From the crowd, a burly man with an honest face stepped forward in response.
Ning Liu said in a calm tone.
"Please 'invite' the Second Prince out."
"Tell him that if he dares to cause trouble here again, or has any inappropriate thoughts about Zhuqing..."
Ning Liu paused, his voice suddenly turning cold.
"Once Dai Mubai steps through the door of this auction house, he can forget about ever setting foot inside again!"
"Yes, owner!"
Wang Wei responded in a deep voice.
He took a step forward, and a powerful and majestic aura suddenly erupted from his body!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
Seven spirit rings rose one after another beneath his feet!
"Hun... Soul Saint?!"
Dai Mubai's pupils contracted to their maximum size, and he gasped in shock.
The last bit of resentment in his heart was completely crushed by the pressure of the Soul Saint.
Yes, there were only a few Title Douluos and a few Soul Douluos on the field before, but now a guard has come out and he is a Soul Saint.
How can I compare myself to others?
How ridiculous and presumptuous their previous behavior was!
With a gentle lift of his large, fan-like hand, Wang Wei lifted Dai Mubai up as if he were a chick.
Dai Mubai's face turned ashen; he did not resist, nor did he dare to.
In the face of absolute power, all struggles are futile.
As Wang Wei dragged him outside, Dai Mubai felt a surge of intense hatred and humiliation.
"Ning Liu! Zhu Zhuqing!"
A venomous thought churned in his mind, distorting his face.
He roared silently in his heart!
"Just wait! At this auction, besides the Starfall Staff, I also obtained four Soul Bones! I will definitely become stronger!"
"Zhu Zhuqing, you slut! One day, I'll make you writhe under my crotch, wishing you were dead!"
Inside the corridor, the oppressive atmosphere eased slightly after Dai Mubai left.
As Zhu Zhuqing watched Dai Mubai's disappearing figure, her delicate body still trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
She won.
But my heart wasn't filled with the joy of victory; instead, I felt a sense of loss!
But it's all for the best; a past is now completely severed.
Ning Liu walked to her side and spoke gently.
"Congratulations, Zhu Qing."
"This is progress on your part."
Zhu Zhuqing came to her senses and looked at Ning Liu. The confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by gratitude and determination.
"Thank you, Ning Liu."
If it weren't for Ning Liu, she might still be struggling in Dai Mubai's shadow right now.
It was he who gave her new choices and new strength.
...
Meanwhile, deep within the Soto City Class D auction house, in a quiet and elegant room.
Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes, and a strange light flashed in them.
She felt like the whole world had changed.
The distant scenery, which was originally somewhat blurry, was now so clear that it seemed to be right in front of him, and his mental energy was more abundant and sharp than ever before.
The medicinal effects of the Dew that has been waiting for ten thousand years are indeed miraculous!
She stretched her body and felt full of energy. Then, she turned to look to the side.
Ning Fengzhi remained seated cross-legged with his eyes closed, his soul power fluctuating steadily and slowly, clearly still focused on absorbing the medicinal power of the 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, not daring to disturb her father, and quietly got up, pushed open the door, and went out.
The noise in the auction hall seemed to have subsided, and the crowd began to disperse. Ning Rongrong looked over curiously.
Thanks to her extraordinary eyesight granted by the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," she spotted two figures standing at the end of the passage from afar.
One of them was her nominal senior brother, Ning Liu.
A woman was standing next to Ning Liu.
The woman was facing away from her, but judging from her figure, she was tall and slender with a curvaceous and extremely sexy appearance.
Ning Rongrong's brows furrowed instantly, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.
"Hmph! That jerk of a senior brother!"
She muttered to herself.
"How long has it been, and he's already hooked up with such a beautiful woman with such a great figure?"
"No, I have to go check it out!"
Ning Rongrong quickened her pace and walked briskly towards Ning Liu and Zhu Zhuqing.
