Chapter 43: Putting on the Mask Equals Tearing Off the Disguise, The Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone

Back then, why did Qian Renxue suggest to Yunxiao that he should take down both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?

Aside from the fact that she needed to disguise herself as the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" and couldn't act freely, wasn't it also because Yunxiao was too formidable?

Not only that, but Yunxiao also loved to "mess around" with her.

During this period, she had been spending every day with Yunxiao, discussing their "small goal" of seven billion.

Originally, just talking about the seven billion goal every day was already exhausting her.

Now, Yunxiao was even interested in this piece of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber. What was he trying to do?

Did he want to drive her, Qian Renxue, to death?

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue shot Yunxiao a resentful glance before slowly speaking.

"What are you trying to do, you bad guy?"

"Do you want to kill me with this?"

"If it's really too much for you."

"Why don't you just take in Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?"

"If you think it's too troublesome."

"I can find a few clean and beautiful girls for you to serve as your bed warmers. How about that?"

Not wanting to bear Yunxiao's wrath alone, Qian Renxue timidly suggested.

Although that kind of thing was as addictive as a bone-deep craving.

She didn't want to be "messed around with" by Yunxiao every day, to the point of exhaustion.

Addiction was one thing, but the fatigue was real.

Yunxiao: "..."

Hearing Qian Renxue's resentful words, Yunxiao's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated.

As her closest companion, how could he not know what Qian Renxue was thinking?

Thinking of this, Yunxiao pretended to be fierce and pinched Qian Renxue's smooth, soft cheek.

"Xiao Xue, you've fallen."

"You're no longer the sacred angel Qian Renxue I once knew!"

"Now, you're just a fallen angel who's always lost in wild thoughts."

"Besides, you're my only girlfriend."

"How could I possibly want to drive you to death?"

"I love you, and I care for you more than anything."

"Although I'm quite satisfied with your feelings for me."

"I'm not happy that you've misunderstood me."

"So tonight, you must carry out the order I've given you."

With that, Yunxiao slowly explained the true purpose of the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber.

As for the function of the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber, currently, only he knew about it…

Oh, no, only he, as an elf, knew about it.

In the original story, the true value of the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber wasn't fully recognized and appreciated by the Spirit Master World until ten thousand years after the Three Gods' War.

Nowadays, the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber was mostly used by noble lords as a supplement to enhance their bedroom performance.

As Yunxiao explained, Qian Renxue finally realized the truth.

It turned out that she had misunderstood Yunxiao, leading to this little misunderstanding.

She had never imagined that these supplements, which were used to enhance bedroom performance, could also improve physical fitness.

From Yunxiao's explanation, she learned that the true value of this piece of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber was comparable to a low-grade Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"Xiao Xue, it's time."

"Bid on this piece of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber."

Seeing that the auction was nearing its end, Yunxiao spoke to Qian Renxue in a calm tone.

"Alright!"

Hearing Yunxiao's reminder, Qian Renxue nodded slightly.

Unlike the white and purple areas of the hall, where bids had to be called out or signaled with a raised paddle, the black and red areas were equipped with dedicated bidding buttons.

These buttons had four different values: ten thousand, one hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, and one million, representing the amount of each bid.

Without hesitation, Qian Renxue pressed the button for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

The female auctioneer: "..."

Seeing that the bid of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins came from the private room of the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe," she was momentarily stunned.

The usually refined and self-disciplined Crown Prince had actually bid on such a virility-enhancing supplement?

This discovery genuinely surprised her. Beneath her exquisite makeup, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a faint trace of astonishment flickered in her eyes.

However, due to her professional demeanor, she quickly composed herself, her face once again adorned with a standard professional smile. In a sweet yet respectful voice, she continued to preside over the auction process.

"Private Room Number One in the black area bids ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"My goodness, Private Room Number One in the black area has actually bid ten thousand Gold Soul Coins..."

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Chen Xin: "..."

Ning Caichen: "..."

All the customers present: "..."

After hearing the female auctioneer's announcement, the entire Heaven Dou Auction House fell into an eerie silence.

What the female auctioneer had thought of, all the customers present naturally could also think of.

After all, to put it bluntly, those who attended the annual Heaven Dou Auction were all prominent figures in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although everyone wore masks, their silhouettes, voices, and behaviors were all too familiar to each other.

As the saying goes, the greatest purpose of wearing masks in the auction house was to strip away the usual pretenses and reveal the ugly side of the nobility.

"Private Room Number One in the black area bids ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, once!"

"Private Room Number One in the black area bids ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, twice!"

"Private Room Number One in the black area bids ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, three times!"

"Sold! Let us congratulate Private Room Number One in the black area."

Seeing the auction house plunged into an eerie silence, the female auctioneer, out of professional duty, continued to conclude the auction process.

"Sword Uncle, do you think this piece of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber could be...?"

Sitting in the private room of the red area, Ning Fengzhi glanced a few times toward "Xue Qinghe's" private room.

Perhaps others present might think that it was Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" who had purchased this piece of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Blubber.

But as "Xue Qinghe's" teacher, he naturally knew the character of his disciple.

Moreover, with the presence of Elf Douluo in the private room, the situation became even more intriguing.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Chen Xin pondered for a moment before slightly shaking his head.

Regarding the enigmatic Elf Douluo, he knew very little.

For matters that were uncertain, he would not hastily jump to conclusions.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi also seemed to be deep in thought.

But soon, his attention was drawn to the next item up for auction.

On the auction stage, another heavyweight item made its appearance.

The female auctioneer pulled back the red cloth covering the item, revealing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone resting quietly on the plate.

Moreover, it was the Torso Bone, the most crucial among the six major Soul Bones, and its age had reached an astonishing fifty thousand years.

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

"The item up for auction next is this fifty-thousand-year-old Torso Bone. The starting bid is..."
