Chapter 118: Lina

  The auction continued, and the quality of the next batch of slaves suddenly improved by several grades. They all looked good, and their qualifications were similar to those of the woman Wu Zongyue had bought earlier, all in their seventies. Unfortunately, they were all male, mostly under twenty years old, and even their cultivation was about the same. One of the male slaves was even dressed up to be quite seductive, with a weak and delicate appearance, which won him the enthusiastic pursuit of many wealthy merchants...

  This male slave with decent qualifications might be a sought-after object for other wealthy merchants or small forces, and after being carefully cultivated for decades, he could become a valuable asset. But for Wu Ye Yu, he was just a dish of chicken ribs. Give up? It's a bit of a pity, but competing with the people below to bid wasn't worth it either.

  "Awesome! You're indeed a member of the Wen family, even the chicken bones that come out of your mouth are things that others can't bear to part with, and aren't considered a loss for yourself. Truly a classic case of being stingy!"

  Wu Yeru took a big bite of the watermelon in his hand, splashing several strands of juice onto Jelina's face. She suddenly exploded, staring with her cat-like eyes and slapped Wu Yeru's waist with a "slap!" before grabbing his clothes to wipe her face. Tsk! He really didn't take advantage of the situation at all.

  Half a time had passed, and the enthusiasm of the crowd in the venue had also subsided. The bidding price had gradually decreased, while the group of people sitting in the private room had not taken any action during this period, except for competing for the auction of that woman. It was clear that they were also looking down on the slaves on stage.

  At this time, Wen Yuanxiao, who was in charge of the auction house, naturally had to take on the responsibility of rekindling everyone's appetite. After all, that was his job. So, Manager Wen spoke up.

  "Next up for auction is a noble lady from the Kans Empire, ah, should be considered a young miss, hehe~ Everyone please take a look!"

  After finishing, Wen Guanshi stretched out his hand and pulled the black cloth beside him, instantly revealing a golden-haired, fair-skinned, exquisitely beautiful little loli. Wu Yeru's eyes suddenly lit up, feeling that this little girl was somewhat like the Eurasian beauty of her previous life, with both the rough beauty of Europeans and the delicate refinement of Asians, combining the advantages of both to perfection. She stood there, wearing a princess dress, looking very cute.

  "Wow!" The crowd in attendance was in an uproar, clearly shocked by the exotic little beauty on stage.

  Everyone must know that the rule of law in the Kans Empire is very different from ours in the Great Xia Empire. The gap between classes is huge, and the boundaries between nobles and commoners are clearly defined. The nobles consider themselves to be a noble-blooded group, looking down on the humble commoners, and the two are basically two different classes. Alas! Although our Great Xia does not approve of this system and their so-called noble bloodline, it cannot be denied that those nobles are indeed a group of polite and courteous people, with their own set of rules for treating others and handling things, and they can also be considered as knowledgeable and reasonable people.

  "It is well-known that the Shan Yuan Empire also has a distinction between nobles and commoners, but it's not as severe as in the Kang Empire. The people of Shan Yuan mostly have black hair, but their appearance is similar to that of the Kang people. The two empires are sworn enemies, and everyone knows this. They don't get along at all, and there are often military skirmishes on the border. If it weren't for other empires mediating between them, they would probably have gone to war already. This situation has been going on for over a thousand years."

  The official said with a slight pause, "Hehe... In this situation, the people of both countries are naturally also in opposition to each other. Whether they are nobles or commoners, the contradictions have reached an almost irreconcilable degree. But it was under such circumstances that a noble lady from the Kans Empire fell in love with a commoner from the Yamahara Empire without any hesitation, and the two secretly gave birth to a lovely daughter."

  It seems that everyone present understood something, and they all looked at the blonde girl on stage, knowing that this girl was probably the child of the two. The little girl seemed to sense something, curiously raised her head, found that most of the eyes in the room were focused on herself, suddenly startled, immediately lowered her head again, clasped her hands together and began to pray non-stop, looking anxious and serious.

  "Haha~!" "Hohoho~! Oh~!"...

  The lovely reaction of the little girl brought everyone to a burst of joy, with laughter and whistling sounds that filled the air.

  The official also smiled and continued, "However, as you all know, paper can't wrap fire. After the little girl had a happy childhood for seven years, unfortunately, the news got out and quickly became known to everyone in both countries. In this situation, the noble family of the girl naturally considered it a shame because they thought their noble bloodline was tainted and couldn't accept the little girl. The boy's side, although commoners in the Mountain Origin Empire, were even more unable to withstand the anger from the surrounding people."

  "Alas, in the end, both men and women were brutally executed by fire, leaving only this young girl. However, under such circumstances, neither side could accept her. Finally, the Emperor of the Kongs Empire, where the girl was from, personally ordered that the girl be sold into slavery for a single gold coin and sent to Daxia, and the recipient was our Wen family."

  "The little girl's life is really pitiful. Originally, we thought that no matter what, we would raise her as a distant relative and let her leave when she grew up, so that she could live a stable life. But things didn't go as planned. Later, under various pressures, my family had to put her up for auction, alas! This poor little girl."

  The words fell, and her face was tinged with a hint of melancholy. The atmosphere in the room also quieted down, and the people who knew what had happened looked at the stage with sympathetic eyes. For a while, no one could say anything. The little girl on the stage continued to pray, as if she hadn't heard.

  Wu Yeru looked at the qualifications of the girl on stage, "87? Such good qualifications have been brought out, could it be that Wen's family has really received pressure from somewhere?" He secretly decided to buy her.

  "Master, why not buy her? This little girl is so pitiful." Xiaotao grasped Wu Yeru's arm, gazing at him with a pleading expression. Meanwhile, Jelina placed her hand on Wu Yeru's waist and gently pinched the soft flesh there, as if she would resort to violence if he didn't comply.

  At this time, the auctioneer on stage spoke again: "This girl's name is Lina. For various reasons, she has never had a surname. It seems that this is also a kind of fate. Later, whoever bids for her can give her a surname."

  Wen Yuanxiao smiled and said, "This girl has excellent qualifications, so the starting price is 1 million taels of white silver. You can all bid now."

  "Two million! This time, no one is allowed to bid against me!" The young man in room three spoke directly, without giving anyone in the auction hall any opportunity, and directly announced that the ownership of the little girl would be taken over by the person in the luxury suite upstairs.

  "Three million! You said you wouldn't rob, so you won't? I think this little sister is lovely, and I want to take her as my sworn sister. Do you have any objections?" The sweet voice from room ten came again.

  "Five million!" The thin-voiced man in room five directly quoted a price, without wasting any more words on others.

  "Master!"

  Wu Yeru looked at Xiaotao's sorrowful expression, feeling the heavy pressure on his waist, and sighed: "You guys are more anxious than me!" Then he said: "200 million!"

  "Wow!" The price not only shocked the crowd in the venue, but also startled Wu Zongyue, who had just opened the door and brought that beauty in.

  "Wu Zongyue couldn't help but scold: 'You little brat, what's wrong with you? You just came in and shouted two hundred million! Do you have money to burn or something? Who shouts prices like that?' Then he turned around, grabbed Jiaren's hand, and sat down. Although his eyes were fixed on Wu Yeru without blinking, his hands didn't let go either. Jiaren was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red, but she couldn't shake off the grasp of this beast."

  "It's not like you're spending your own money, what are you in such a hurry for? Just watch from the side..." Wu Yeyu didn't bother to deal with this hastily colored old rascal and instead continued watching the scene outside.

  Can't help but say that Wu Yeyu's sudden price increase, although somewhat awkward and tacky, was indeed effective. After the document handler confirmed three times, "slam!" - a slap on the table, and the deal was cleanly and efficiently concluded, moving on to the next stage.

  After receiving the brand from Xiao Shuai, Xiaotao and Jielina couldn't wait to pull Wu Yeyu to the auction venue, not even bothering with Wu Zongyue who was about to introduce them, hastily leaving the elegant room.

  "This stinky little brat, what's the big hurry..."
