"Enter."
The door was pushed open, and Wang Wei's tall figure appeared in the doorway. He stepped aside to make way.
Then, Xiao Wu followed Wang Wei in.
Ning Liu gave a formulaic smile and stood up from behind the table.
He didn't look at Xiao Wu, but picked up a pre-prepared document from the side.
The paper was made from the finest soul beast hide, and several lines of text were written on it with a special ink.
"Young lady, this incident was indeed due to negligence on our part at the auction house."
Ning Liu handed the written agreement to Xiao Wu.
"As previously mentioned, here is a voucher for 10,000 gold soul coins. You can use this voucher to directly deduct the corresponding amount at the next auction."
"how?"
Xiao Wu did not immediately take the document.
Because her attention was instantly drawn to the neatly folded set of soft nail polish on the table.
The silvery-white luster flowed, like the condensation of the bright moonlight.
The fine, rabbit-fur-like texture, the lifelike silver rabbit and moon motif...
An indescribable sense of intimacy and longing instantly captivated her.
Her heart started pounding faster than usual.
This soft armor... seems to have been born to be hers!
Ning Liu took in Xiao Wu's reaction, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips before returning to his calm.
He pointed to the soft nails on the table.
"Young lady, this is one of the items we've prepared for our next auction."
His voice carried a perfectly appropriate introductory tone.
"This armor is named: Moonlit Rabbit Soft Armor."
"According to our assessment, it is sufficient to withstand a full-force attack from a six-ring Soul Emperor-level offensive Soul Master."
Ning Liu paused, observing Xiao Wu's changing expression.
Xiao Wu's eyes widened even more, and her breathing became rapid.
She subconsciously took half a step forward, her gaze fixed on the soft armor.
Ning Liu continued.
"Of course, good things are naturally valuable."
"If you want it..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
If you want it, you need to put up enough gold soul coins to bid.
Xiao Wu suddenly came to her senses.
She glanced at the soft nail on the table, then at the document in Ning Liu's hand.
Finally, she reached out and took the voucher worth 10,000 gold soul coins, clutching it tightly in her hand.
"How much does this soft armor cost?"
Ning Liu sat back in his chair, leaning back in a somewhat casual posture.
"The starting bid won't be less than 100,000 gold soul coins, right?"
One hundred thousand gold soul coins?!
Xiao Wu was struck dumb, and her body swayed.
The slight joy brought by the compensation of 10,000 gold soul coins was instantly wiped out by this astronomical figure.
100,000...
What does that mean?
That would be worth so many carrots!
Seeing the undisguised shock and disappointment on Xiao Wu's face, Ning Liu said no more.
He nodded slightly to Wang Wei.
"The auction is over. Let's see this young lady off."
See you at the next auction.
Wang Wei responded and gestured for Xiao Wu to enter.
Xiao Wu turned around dejectedly, glancing back at the soft armor every few steps, before finally following Wang Wei out of the room.
...
The lighting at the exit of the backstage passage was rather dim.
Tang San stood in the shadows, watching Xiao Wu walk out from inside.
Her face was somewhat pale, and her eyes were unfocused.
"Xiao Wu?"
Tang San went to greet him.
Xiao Wu seemed to have just noticed him, forced a smile, and handed him the document in her hand.
"Brother, look, that venue owner paid me 10,000 gold soul coins."
Tang San took the document, carefully examined the text and markings, and confirmed that it was correct.
The compensation of 10,000 gold soul coins is quite generous.
That farm owner is interesting.
But he quickly noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Wu.
"What's wrong? Are you still unhappy?"
"no……"
Xiao Wu shook her head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
She bit her lip, but ultimately couldn't resist.
"Brother, I saw a piece of soft armor at that arena owner's place!"
A glimmer of light rekindled in her eyes, filled with intense longing.
"A silver-white soft armor, called the Moonlit Rabbit Soft Armor! It's exceptionally beautiful!"
"Moreover, the owner of that arena said it can defend against one attack from a Soul Emperor!"
How to defend against an attack from a Soul Emperor?
Tang San's heart stirred.
Armor that can achieve this level of defense?!
He looked into Xiao Wu's expectant eyes, and a corner of his heart softened.
100,000 Gold Soul Coins...
This number lingered in his mind.
If it weren't for the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow being auctioned today, he wouldn't know when he would have even a thousand gold soul coins!
But……
Xiao Wu wanted it.
Anything Xiao Wu wants...
Tang San lowered his eyelids, concealing the complex thoughts within.
No matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to get our hands on it.
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, let's go!"
Flander's voice came from not far away, interrupting Tang San's thoughts.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others followed behind.
"Let's go back and talk about it first."
Tang San patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and whispered.
"Don't worry, I'll figure something out. Let's discuss this further."
Xiao Wu nodded, but the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.
The group left the auction house and headed towards Shrek Academy.
