Chapter 85 Gathered together, Nan Qi is the troublemaker
Rupert's Auction House is a building covering a large area. It has five floors in total, but it is taller and more magnificent than an ordinary ten-story building.
There is a big event at Rupert's Auction House tonight. The door of the largest auction room is opened for guests to take a temporary rest.
Nan Qi took a look inside when he passed by. Although the restaurant was not full, there were not many empty seats either.
As if they didn't want to reveal their identities, everyone wore masks, and some even wore cloaks, covering themselves tightly. At first glance, it was really hard to tell their race.
In addition to the seats in the hall, almost all the private rooms on the second floor have lights on, and it seems that there are guests there.
Female and sub-female insects dressed in beautiful and sexy clothes walked among the guests, carrying fine wine and fruits. Even if they were taken advantage of occasionally, they could quickly escape. It was obvious that they were all well-trained.
Nan Qi was curious about this scene. He tugged at Bai's sleeve and whispered in Bai's ear, "Aren't they in a hurry to enter the black market?"
"No rush," Bai shook his head gently. "There are still two hours until the real auction begins. During these two hours, Rupert's Auction House will be selling priceless items besides antiques. Interested creatures will stay and take a look. After all, not all creatures are interested in antiques."
Nan Qi understood: "Oh, so that's how it is. I thought all the auction items would be sold on the black market, but it turns out there are also diversions. This is eye-opening."
Nan Qi's amazed expression made Bai laugh. He stopped the female employee leading the way and asked for a catalog of tonight's auction items, handing it to Nan Qi: "Take a look, is there anything you like?"
"Are you going to buy it for me?" Nan Qi took the album, flipped through it casually, and threw it back into the female employee's arms.
He held Bai's hand, smiled mischievously, and whispered in Bai's ear, "Compared to these things, I still like you more. Just remember what you promised me today."
Bai's face suddenly turned red. He thought of the words he said to Nan Qi in the bathroom when he coaxed him, "You can do whatever you want", and knew that tonight would probably be a passionate night as well.
He suppressed his shyness and was about to nod when he felt Nan Qi pinching his ear.
The next second, Nan Qi's voice, as drunken as fine wine, rang out: "Bai, why are your ears red? Are you thinking of something unhealthy? But I clearly said..."
At this moment, they arrived at the entrance to the black market. The female insect waitress lowered her head and stepped back. Bai felt Nan Qi tightly embrace his waist. Nan Qi took him one step into the small wormhole. When the space was distorted, Nan Qi's smiling voice sounded again:
"I clearly said you'd give me a flower every day, but it turns out it's a small colorful butterfly. I was really looking forward to it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black market arrived, and the big hand around his waist was so hot that it made Bai feel weak in the legs.
He quickly shook his head and suppressed these thoughts in his heart. Suddenly, he had the idea that Nan Qi was a disaster.
Ever since he and Nan Qi had a mutual understanding, he wanted to be close to Nan Qi whenever Nan Qi was around.
Holding hands, hugging, kissing with saliva exchanged, making love with skin against skin... He seemed to have developed a skin hunger, always wanting to absorb Nan Qi's body temperature and scent, wanting to merge Nan Qi into his body and never separate again.
Until this moment, Bai had to admit again that he really, really loved Nan Qi.
Nan Qi didn't know that at the moment when space was distorted, in the small wormhole in reality leading to the black market, Bai once again confirmed his love for him. The mental thread that fell on Bai only told him that Bai was distracted.
Nan Qi walked a few steps forward with Bai, away from the door. He tightened his grip around Bai's waist, lowered his head, and said with some worry in his voice, "Bai, are you feeling unwell?"
Bai came back to his senses and looked at Nan Qi, whose handsomeness could not be concealed even with a mask on. A smile slowly crept up his eyes: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
Bai's voice was soft, with a slight rise at the end: "I just realized that I really, really like you."
The sudden confession startled Nan Qi, and then it was like fireworks exploding in his heart. He slowly tightened his hands around Bai's waist, silently expressing his joy.
Bai's waist was a little painful, but he didn't struggle. He allowed Nan Qi to tighten his grip. Then, when Nan Qi realized that this force would cause him pain, he gave him a comforting look.
Then, seeing Nan Qi's eyes becoming brighter and happier, he also became happy.
"Let's go," Bai patted Nan Qi's hand, "Don't keep the teachers waiting for too long."
Nan Qi nodded, but did not let go of his hand and continued to walk forward with Bai in his arms.
Along the way, Nan Qi asked some more questions about Rupert's Auction House.
For example, they clearly entered the black market with an invitation from the auction house, so why didn't the auction house arrange employees to guard the entrance and lead the guests to the Rupert Auction House's venue in the black market?
For example, what should I do if I want to go to the black market without an invitation?
For example, all ethnic groups entering the black market want to hide their identities. If they enter through the auction house, doesn’t the auction house automatically obtain the identity of the entrant?
Bai Yiyi explained, "We don't have staff guarding the entrances because the various tribes that come to the black market aren't necessarily there for the auction. Furthermore, having staff guarding the entrances would give the impression of trying to identify the guests. By comparing the guest's attire and the time they entered the black market, we can determine their identity."
"If you don't have an invitation, you can enter the black market through the entrance opened by the black market itself. On the 15th of every month, the black market entrance will open, and any creature that wishes to enter can enter through the black market entrance."
"As for your question about whether Rupert's Auction House will grant entrants access, the answer is no."
"Why?"
Nan Qi was very curious. Bai's first answer actually had a loophole. Even if Rupert Auction House did not arrange employees to wait at the entrance of the passage, in fact, as long as they were careful, the female insect employee who led them into the auction house would be able to know their identities.
The female insect employee saw his and Bai's faces clearly, and also saw Bai's invitation letter.
Even if they changed their clothes and hid their whereabouts in the black market, they would still be found if we wanted to.
Bai seemed to know Nan Qi's question and whispered, "Have you ever looked closely at the face of the female insect that led us?"
Nan Qi was stunned and shook his head. Why was he staring at the waitress's face? She was a female, and it would be bad if she was considered as sexual harassment.
Perhaps Nan Qi's expression was too obvious, so Bai laughed and said, "If you look closely, you will know that the female insect is blind."
"Blind man, but..."
"But when he leads the way, he can accurately avoid obstacles and passing creatures, right?" Bai Buquan said what Nanqi wanted to say.
"Well, are they wearing any equipment?" Nan Qi thought of the advanced technology in this interstellar age and got the answer.
"Well, bats can't see, but they use ultrasound to avoid obstacles. They also have this device on their bodies. After systematic training, they can move normally even though they can't see." Bai Dao said, "He couldn't see the name on the invitation, but looked at the anti-counterfeiting mark on the invitation."
Nan Qi understood after hearing this explanation: "That makes sense. Can't the waiters in the auction house see it? What about security?"
Bai nodded affirmatively. "Except for the auctioneer, the waiters and security at Rupert's Auction House are all invisible. Therefore, they are experts in night operations. Furthermore, because they have the backing of the black market, no force would dare to target Rupert's Auction House."
If you fight, you may not get what you want, but you will definitely be shut out of the black market.
This deal is not worthwhile, and no force would do it. After all, the power of the black market cannot be eliminated even with the full strength of the country.
Nan Qi understood everything completely, and the two bugs also walked to the venue of this gathering - the most luxurious hotel in the black market.
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in the black market, Ai You pushed out Prince Keppel, who had just finished the examination, followed by Pu Bo.
Pu Bo's hand slid quickly across the virtual screen floating in front of his eyes. Looking at the freshly-released test results, his brows furrowed and twisted, which made Ai You, who was standing beside him, feel heartbroken.
Prince Keppel patted Aiyou's hand and coughed twice before saying anything: "Don't worry, I'm not going to die yet."
Ai You glared at him, but gently patted Prince Keppel's back to help him calm down: "Don't talk, no one will think you are dumb."
Prince Keppel was not angry at being bullied by his own queen. He smiled and pulled Chong to sit on the sofa in front of him:
"Don't worry, there's always a way. Don't put pressure on Pu Bo."
Ai You was about to say something when the doorbell rang. Ai You swallowed the words in her mouth and got up to open the door.
Outside the door were four female insects: Mellon, Peggy, Lunk, and Todd.
They all had something in their hands. Some held wine, some held fruit, and some held drinks. The most amazing one was Mellon, who was holding the braised food he bought from Arnold.
A few bugs came in bustling about, and then I realized that I wasn't too late.
Mellon was yelling that when Bai and Nanqi arrived, they would have to drink three cups as punishment. As Peggy agreed, she heard a cold voice coming from the door that was not yet closed:
"I see you don't want to finish your meal today."
The insects turned around and saw Bai, holding a beautiful bouquet of pink lilies, baby's breath, yellow roses and carnations, and Nan Qi, carrying two large multi-layered food boxes, walking in.
Bai walked straight to Ai You and handed the bouquet to her: "Teacher, please help deliver the flowers to Prince Keppel. We all misunderstood him before, and we should apologize."
After saying this, Bai took a step back and faced Keppel. Mellon and the others also reacted and stood behind Bai. Even Pu Bo stopped looking at the test results and walked over.
After everyone arrived, Bai led them to bow 90 degrees to apologize to Prince Keppel. Ai You also smiled and placed the beautiful bouquet of flowers in the arms of the somewhat stunned Keppel.
The flowers made Prince Keppel's pale face look a little rosier. He looked up at his lover, his Adam's apple moving up and down. After a while, he said, "Okay, you are all good children. Get up quickly."
Nan Qi also spoke at the right time, smiling and shaking the food box in his hand: "Give me two worms, help me, it's too heavy."
"Here I come."
Mellon was a foodie and ran over first, followed by Peggy. Todd looked at Pu Bo who was racing against time to see the results, then looked at Bai and Lunke who were standing next to the teacher. A smile appeared in his eyes, and he pulled Pu Bo who was still working, yelling.
"Let's help too. What delicious food have you made, Nan Qi?"
Nan Qi: "These are all your favorite foods, but you are not allowed to drink alcohol. I saw some wine."
"Ahhh, why can't I drink? This is my treasured collection." Peggy screamed.
"I'm not going to take you home if you're drunk." Nan Qi slapped her hard, and Peggy put the wine away crying.
Pu Bo, Todd and Mellon laughed, but Yi Chong became quiet after getting a cold look from Nan Qi.
Keppel was a little surprised - among these fearless bug guys, besides Aiyou, there was also one who was really afraid of bugs.
With his experience, he could naturally see that everyone, including Lenk, treated Nan Qi with respect and fear rather than closeness.
Bai was not afraid of Nan Qi. He had great love and trust for Nan Qi.
This male insect named Nanqi Aid seems to be extremely special as it can make Ai You and his group of disciples who have extraordinary abilities and high status change their attitudes in a short period of time.
They should be able to become good friends.
Thinking of this, Keppel looked at Bai: "Is this your lord?"
Bai looked at the busy Nan Qi with gentle eyes and nodded gently: "Well, he told me to come see you after reheating the soup. He also said that you two should have common topics."
Prince Keppel's eyes lit up: "Looks like I'm going to have a friend regardless of age."
