Please rest assured, host, all the creatures returned by the system are absolutely loyal to you and will never rebel.
[Regarding the auction, if the host wishes to auction off items returned by the system, they will not be able to receive any more returns!]
A cold, mechanical voice responded in my mind, devoid of any emotion.
Absolute loyalty?
Ning Liu was stunned.
He wasn't doubting the system's words, but rather that the value of this "loyalty" was too high.
This is the Golden-Eyed Sky-Splitting Tiger, a 100,000-year-old soul beast!
Is this thing loyal to itself?
A thought popped into his head uncontrollably: Doesn't that mean I now have a super bodyguard who is at least a Title Douluo level?!
Ning Liu's heart raced again, this time not from fear, but from an unbelievable ecstasy.
He knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had two Title Douluos.
However, even those two titled Douluo might not be able to defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast, right?
"Wait a minute, loyalty is one thing, but this thing... how am I supposed to raise it?"
Ning Liu's thoughts began to wander.
We can't just leave it in the system space, can we? What's the difference between that and nothing at all?
Release them? Where should we put them?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assets in Soto City are so small, their backyard isn't even big enough for them to roam around in.
You can't exactly take it for a walk in the street, can you?
The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine.
Also, what does it eat?
You can't feed a 100,000-year-old soul beast ordinary meat, can you? Should you feed it another soul beast? Or some rare and precious herbs?
I can't afford to raise them!
Ning Liu felt extremely overwhelmed.
But at the very least, putting it up for auction is out of the question!
In this small town, who could afford to buy a house? That would be a complete loss!
What's more, this is simply amazing!
If someone really covets it, even a titled Douluo would probably be unable to resist coming to investigate its secrets!
With only one Soul Saint under his command, how could he possibly protect himself?!
As he was lost in thought, agonizing over this sweet yet deadly burden, the auction proceeded without pause.
Ang Lee's voice rang out again, filled with professional enthusiasm.
"The next item in the auction is somewhat special."
His words drew everyone's attention.
Two staff members carried in a cage covered with a black cloth. It was much smaller than the previous tiger cage, but still heavy.
“This is a… well, a noblewoman from Lori City in the Kingdom of Starbucks.”
Ang Lee's wording was somewhat cautious.
The black cloth covering the cage was lifted, revealing a figure curled up inside.
A girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a tattered but still vaguely gorgeous dress, with her long golden hair disheveled, her face streaked with tears and fear, her hands tied behind her back.
Her beauty was outstanding, and even in this disheveled state, her aristocratic air was undeniable.
A low murmur arose in the auction hall.
Auctioning off people is not uncommon on the mainland, especially among some defeated nobles or slaves.
However, directly auctioning off the daughter of a city lord with a clear identity, especially one from the Kingdom of Starbucks, is a bit sensitive.
The Star Kingdom is a vassal state of the Star Luo Empire and has a tense relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire, with frequent frictions.
"This young lady is of noble birth, being the only daughter of the Lord of Lori City. The starting bid is one thousand gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least one hundred gold soul coins higher."
Ang Lee quickly announced the price, seemingly wanting to end the auction as soon as possible.
The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
Although the girl is beautiful, buying the daughter of a city lord from a rival vassal state might bring unnecessary trouble.
"One thousand one hundred gold soul coins".
A sinister voice rang out from somewhere.
"One thousand two hundred gold soul coins!"
Another voice immediately followed.
Prices began to rise slowly.
Ultimately, the daughter of the Starbucks Kingdom's lord was sold to someone in a private room on the second floor for 1,300 gold soul coins.
Ning Liu didn't feel anything about it; that's how auction houses are—all sorts of strange and unusual things can appear there.
What he was more concerned about was...
[Ding! The auction for the daughter of the city lord of Lori City in the Starbucks Kingdom has been successful! The winning bid is 1300 Gold Soul Coins, and the multiplier is being randomly returned...]
here we go again!
Ning Liu was greatly encouraged.
How many times will it be this time?
It can't still be a thousand times, can it?
Is the system planning to send me a hundred city lord daughters?
Spare him!
He has nowhere to go!
[Congratulations, host, you have received: 100x return!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Gold Soul Coins!]
Splash!
Ning Liu heard the sound of gold coins falling to the ground in his mind.
130,000 Gold Soul Coins!
He let out a long sigh of relief, then felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
The system was quite generous this time and gave me the money directly.
That's fine, it saves me the trouble.
Although nothing earth-shattering was revealed, 130,000 gold soul coins is still a huge sum of money.
In a corner of the auction house.
As Dai Mubai watched the girl being led away by the staff, an uncontrollable rage flashed in his golden eyes.
His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.
Star Luo Empire!
It's someone from the Star Luo Empire again!
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he could only watch helplessly as the empire's citizens, even the daughter of a city lord, were auctioned off like commodities, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
This sense of humiliation made his chest feel tight.
But there was nothing he could do.
He's just a down-on-his-luck prince escaping reality right now; he doesn't even know if he'll survive in the future!
