Chapter 245 My Little Mouse, You're Really Good at Escaping!

……

The auction has begun.

Lu He and Jerry haven't finished their transformation yet, but they're not purely human anymore, so staying in the suite isn't a problem.

As for the Ji couple, they were frozen by Su Yan's talismans and temporarily incapacitated. Su Yan also installed an alarm lock on the bedroom door. She would immediately know if anyone forced their way in, except for her.

Huo Qing, dressed in a sophisticated black suit, sat in the front row, next to Su Yan.

Su Yan wore a black dress that matched Huo Qing's suit, and her long, slender, snow-white legs looked incredibly sexy and alluring.

Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, reminiscent of a beauty pageant winner, she captivated countless eyes even without a smile.

With his vertical pupils, a symbol of bestiality, Huo Qing was adept at navigating social situations, and many people would approach him to chat. Some would even put their arms around his shoulder, as if they were old acquaintances.

In reality, most of them knew of each other's existence but had never actually met. One came from District 19 and couldn't reach these big shots; the other looked down on them and refused to lower himself to their level. Now, beastmen have become highly sought after, and Huo Qing has clearly entered the true top circle by virtue of his beastman identity.

Su Yan called out to the raccoon-man waiter who was carrying the wine.

The other person immediately came over and respectfully poured wine for Su Yan.

"The auction hasn't even started yet, and I can tell you're almost full." Huo Qing took the wine from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"Too boring." Su Yan called the waiter over again and ordered another drink.

The auctioneer arrived late.

He was also a chubby half-orc with a hairy face and a憨憨 (simple and honest) appearance; he was a bear-man.

"They're actually quite cute," Su Yan said with a smile.

"This is the catalog of auction items. Take a look and bid on whatever you like," Huo Qing said generously.

Su Yan opened it and said as she looked at it, "I think today, apart from the beast transformation potion, everything else will be cheaper."

"But there are too many monks and not enough porridge, it all depends on who has the most power." Huo Qing showed her the last part, and actually added five more doses of beast transformation potion.

"It's not you, is it?" Su Yan asked.

Huo Qing laughed and said, "Do you think those people were so proactive and enthusiastic just now? They already know that I was the one who made the move."

"Oh." Su Yan grabbed a small handful of nuts and slowly chewed them one by one. "What do you mean by thunderstorms in Zone Zero?"

"Nobody cares about that now, and nothing happens in Zone Zero. The auction items are starting to be put up for auction."

The auctioneer placed the item on the table; it was an ancient sword.

"The first item up for auction tonight is one that I believe everyone is very interested in. It is the Nine Dragon Sword, which is said to have turned into dust. It was not buried in an imperial tomb, but in the tomb of the emperor's most beloved concubine. It is said to be able to cut hair with a single blow and slice through iron like mud. Even now, it still retains the majestic and domineering aura of its time."

Several security personnel immediately stepped forward and, under their protection, opened the sword case.

The sword inside was brought out by the auctioneer, and a scanner was immediately pointed at it.

The sword, gleaming with a cold, menacing light, was sharp and adorned with intricate and mysterious engravings resembling a lifelike dragon. Its hilt, inlaid with gemstones and adorned with a dragon's head, along with its somewhat damaged scabbard that added to its historical and ancient charm, were all projected onto the screen. Even those sitting in the last row of the auction hall could clearly discern the sword's details.

Su Yan looked at the patterns on it; some of them seemed to be ancient script. "Xiao Mei, what's the story behind this sword?"

Both the scabbard and the sword are fake.

Su Yan raised her delicate eyebrows and leaned closer to Huo Qing, who was about to bid, "Would you like to take another look?"

"Oh?" Huo Qing asked in surprise, "You know about this too."

"It's a woman's intuition."

"I believe you!" Huo Qing said with a smile, and gave up the bidding.

Su Yan took two strawberries and handed one to Huo Qing, saying, "I saw an antique on the plane; it was a ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel)."

"Huh?" Huo Qing took the strawberry and was taken aback. "How come I didn't know?"

"Uh~ Could it be another one of those cuties sneaking in their own stuff?" Su Yan took a bite of the strawberry, her pink lips stained with its color, making them look even more delicate and delicious.

Huo Qing felt an uncontrollable rage within her, and spat out the strawberry in her hand. "I'll ask Lu He about it later."

"You're quite easygoing, being the boss," Su Yan said with a smile.

Huo Qing picked up his wine glass and took another big gulp to relieve the dryness in his throat. "As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, I'll just turn a blind eye."

"Water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers." Su Yan looked at the Nine Dragon Sword, which had already been bid up to two million.

"Two million once, two million a second time," the auctioneer was about to call out a third time.

At that moment, the auction hall doors, which had been closed, reopened, and a person walked in.

Many people are curious about who entered the scene halfway through.

But upon seeing this, he was completely stunned, staring blankly at the newcomer.

Tall and imposing with a perfect figure, wearing a midnight blue suit, with two buttons undone at the collar of a light purple shirt, revealing a slender, porcelain-white neck, and long, eerily white hair that flowed past his waist, shimmering silk under the lights. He possessed a stunningly beautiful face that could captivate all, with a faint, serene smile on his face.

Suddenly, his calm, deep black eyes, as clear as the night sky, shone with a dazzling light when he saw Su Yan, as if they could draw in all the souls that looked at him...

The moment Su Yan saw him, she felt an urge to run away!

[Host, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox has arrived.]

I know it's him; it should be called Twelve-Tails now.

[Good luck, host.]

[Ha! I have a feeling he's sharpening a knife, preparing to kill me...]

She stared intently at the items on the auction stage, ignoring the gaze that fell upon her, sending shivers down her spine.

Huo Qing also noticed the newcomer, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes. There was no one like him before or since... After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked at Su Yan.

Seeing her looking at the auction items with a calm and composed expression, he thought to himself: As expected of the person I have my eye on, she can treat such a stunning beauty with ease. Very good!

Little did she know, Su Yan's heart was in turmoil.

Qing Linghuan walked down the long corridor and, amidst the fascinated gazes of everyone, arrived at the front row and sat down next to Su Yan, one seat away from her.

"My little mouse, you really know how to escape!" A low, magnetic, seductive husky voice pierced through Su Yan's disguise.

Su Yan's entire body stiffened.

escape?

Under what circumstances should you flee?

The simplest explanation is that when you encounter danger, you avoid actions that could harm you.

He believed he was running away, which meant he was in danger!

This guy is really here for revenge.

Seeing that Su Yan did not react, Qing Linghuan glanced at her sideways, her upturned, alluring eyes carrying a faint hint of murderous intent that Su Yan just happened to notice.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Su Yan's forehead as she forced herself to calm down.
