The little bird's egg was even stranger; there were clearly signs of life inside the shell, and it seemed to be growing.
But there was no sign of it hatching, as if it had always been an egg, not a bird.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua went to sleep after washing up, while Tengteng clung to the bedside, waiting for them to wake up.
Because we've been spending a lot of time in crowded places these past few days, I haven't taken it out...
Tengteng was incredibly bored being alone in the space; she was determined to get Qin Luo to take her out tomorrow.
Early the next morning
As soon as Qin Luo opened her eyes, she saw vines that were almost touching her face.
"Tengteng, do you know how terrifying vines are? They can scare people to death! Do you want to kill your master?"
Tengteng quickly swung her vines and explained in her sweet voice.
"No, no, I just wanted to go out and have fun with you guys..."
Qin Luo sensed the grievance in its tone and reached out to touch its leaves.
"Then let's go out together, but you must put away the spikes and turn them into vines like before, and you must not move around!"
Tengteng's vines danced wildly with joy: "Great!"
Wu Hua, who had been woken up, looked unhappy.
"If you keep swinging around like that, I'm not taking you anymore!"
Tengteng immediately stopped and obediently ran to the door to wait. Qin Luo flicked Wu Hua's forehead.
"How can you talk to a girl like that! Tengteng is practically our little sister, you have to take good care of her from now on, understand?"
Wu Hua covered her forehead and accused
"You used it to hit the hardest when you were fighting, why didn't you say you felt sorry for it?"
Qin Luo grabbed its little ears.
"Yesterday I suspected you were lying about your age to pretend you were young, and that you were actually going through menopause. Now it seems you're just going through an early rebellious phase!"
Wu Hua stared at her in disbelief.
"Menopause? You're the one going through menopause! I'm just a one-and-a-half-year-old baby!"
Qin Luo nodded in agreement.
"I know, that's why your rebellious phase is starting early. We've finally waited for you to get a beating!"
After saying that, he rubbed his fists together, ready to give it a good beating.
Wu Hua simply couldn't believe it; who would specifically wait for their child to go through a rebellious phase just to give them a good beating?
But knowing Qin Luo was capable of it, it switched to its cuddly mode.
"Sister, give me a hug! Sister, why are you so dazzling today? Are you going to have to wear scars on when we go out later? You should wear them, so that other people won't be jealous!"
Qin Luo was so charmed by it that she couldn't suppress a smile, and Wu Hua continued...
"Sister, you are not only beautiful on the outside, but also kind-hearted. You are indeed the person I searched for in the mortal realm. It is my great fortune to be able to form a contract with you!"
Qin Luo was happy, but she still pinched its little mouth, which was full of sweet words.
"I've told you more than once to stay away from Fan Xing, but you didn't listen. You're even copying her in every way. It's a good thing you're just a little kid; if you were any older, you'd be considered greasy!"
Wu Hua was stunned. Fan Xing had clearly said that this was the key to unlocking the girl's heart.
It can also be used to memorize things whenever it's free; if used properly, it's suitable for men, women, young and old.
Why doesn't it work on Qin Luo? Is she not a girl?
Qin Luo could tell from its expression that it wasn't up to anything, so she picked it up and gave it a few slaps on the backside.
"Are you thinking about what Fan Xing said? Forget about it right now, or I'll beat you every day!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua trembled slightly, covered her bottom, and obediently went to get dressed and wash up.
Tengteng was amazed and approached Qin Luo to ask.
"Luo Luo, is our little one going to be an independent man again?"
Qin Luo replied to it while tidying herself up.
"Yes, it's grown up and is teetering on the edge of rebellion. I have to spank it every day!"
Tengteng felt sorry for Wu Hua, but also worried about herself, wondering when her rebellious phase would begin.
Will Luo Luo have to beat it every day then?! Just thinking about it is terrifying!
Qin Luo rolled the vine into a bundle and hung it around his waist, then, holding Wu Hua's hand and carrying a sack, they left the space.
Just like yesterday, the two of them went to the first floor of the inn for breakfast.
Just after they finished eating, the fifth steward came to pick them up in a carriage.
After exchanging greetings, the three headed straight for the auction house.
Before long, the carriage stopped in front of the magnificent auction house.
The main entrance of the auction house is guarded by two exquisitely carved stone lions.
Dozens of soldiers stood in neat rows on both sides of the gate.
Their eyes were piercing, as if they could see into the minds of everyone who stepped through the door.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua spotted Liang Yu immediately. After getting out of the car and waving to Lao Wu, they...
Carrying the sack, Wu Hua headed straight for Liang Yu, handing him the meat buns Qin Luo had packed.
"Brother Liang, it's still hot, eat it quickly!"
Liang Yu took the steamed buns and happily introduced the two of them to his colleagues.
After greeting them, I led the two of them aside to inquire.
"Did you two get tickets? If not, I'll see if my cousin can get you in!"
Having heard him mention his cousin repeatedly, Qin Luo became somewhat curious about who this cousin was.
"We already have the tickets, Brother Liang, don't worry. But where is your cousin? I haven't seen him at all."
"Oh! He works as a servant in the Han household and is accompanying his young master today! I'll introduce you two after the auction!"
Qin Luo frowned upon hearing this, but didn't say anything more, instead casually remarking...
"Alright! Brother Liang, eat your buns quickly, or they'll get cold!"
After Liang Yu nodded, he ate the bun in a few bites. Qin Luo caught a glimpse of Old Wen waiting for her not far away.
He also gave Liang Yu a small bag of candy.
"Take this and share it with your colleagues. My son and I will go inside first, and we'll get together again after the auction!"
After nodding, Liang Yu escorted the two women to the auction house entrance, then returned to his own group and distributed the candy to his colleagues.
Qin Luo waved to Old Wen as he approached the door, and Old Wen jogged over.
"Greetings, gentlemen!"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua couldn't help but laugh when they heard him call him that. Qin Luo asked him...
"You were calling us kids yesterday, how come you're calling us 'young masters' today?"
Old Wen blushed deeply upon hearing this.
"I was blind before and failed to see the noble bearing of the two young masters. Please forgive me!"
Qin Luo didn't say anything more, took Wu Hua's hand, and handed the gold card to the greeter at the door.
After the greeters received the verification documents, two people led the way, while one person guided the three into the auction house.
Upon entering the auction house, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted through the air.
It emanated from the huge incense burner in the center of the hall, bringing a sense of tranquility.
The grand hall is soaring and spacious, with exquisite palace lanterns hanging from the ceiling, exuding an unspoken sense of luxury.
The surrounding walls are adorned with calligraphy and paintings by renowned artists throughout history, each a rare treasure.
The guests inside were dressed in fine clothes, some chatting quietly in small groups.
Or stand alone by the window, admiring the bustling city scenery outside.
Everyone's faces were filled with anticipation and curiosity about today's auction items!
Among them were wealthy merchants, literary figures, as well as wandering heroes and high-ranking officials...
In short, they were all people who were either rich or noble. Qin Luo kept looking around.
I didn't see any young ladies from ancient times, so I was inevitably a little disappointed...
