“You’ve grown taller, Yang Yang.”
Sheng Yang rubbed her chest against Yu Huang’s arm and blinked at her. “What else? Don’t you think I’ve grown in other areas too?”
Yu Huang was caught between laughter and tears. She tapped her nose. “Yes. You’re a B cup now.”
Sheng Yang chuckled happily.
“By the way, why aren’t you in the Divine Realm Academy? Why are you here?” Yu Huang looked at Sheng Wuque. “Also, why did you come with Sheng Yang?”
Sheng Wuque said, “We’re here to participate in the Golden Auction.”
“Yes!” Sheng Yang explained, “I heard that there will be a Soul Restoring Fruit at the Golden Auction tomorrow. Dad used to say that the Soul Restoring Fruit has a high chance of helping Mom recover her consciousness, so I took leave and came with Brother Wuque.”
“Daddy has been busy with work recently and didn’t have time to come over.”
Sheng Lingfeng was busy investigating the deaths of the two Prime Masters and indeed didn’t have time to come.
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s training classes in the Holy Spirit Academy couldn’t be delayed, so Sheng Lingfeng asked his disciple, Sheng Wuque, to come with Sheng Yang. Of course, he also sent experts to protect them secretly.
“I see.” After knowing that the Soul Restoring Fruit could help Lan Yao recover her consciousness, Yu Huang also wanted to take a look. “Mentor, go back to school first. I’ll take half a day off.”
“Sure.”
After parting with Lin Jiansheng, Yu Huang brought Sheng Wuque and Sheng Yang to the hotel where she and Sheng Xiao had stayed in and booked two rooms.
Sheng Wuque stayed in one room, while Yu Huang and Sheng Yang shared a room.
At night, smoke rose in Rakshasa City. Sheng Yang listened to the gunshots all night.
In the morning, when the three of them went to a mutton restaurant to eat mutton noodles, they saw a group of mercenaries driving past on the road with many low-level demon beasts in a big truck, but they were stopped by another group of mercenaries.
Without another word, the two sides pulled out their guns and started shooting at each other.
A few bullets missed and shot towards the mutton restaurant.
The waiter in the mutton restaurant was already used to it and nimbly dodged the bullet. However, a man eating noodles at the neighboring table with his back facing the door wasn’t so lucky.
The bullet pierced through his head and he fell onto the table while blood flowed into the bowl.
The owner shouted, “Drag the corpse away!”
Thus, the waiter dragged the victim out without changing his expression. The corpse was placed at the entrance of the restaurant and they waited for the “trash” truck to drag it away.
The garbage trucks here were divided into two types. One was to clean up the trash, and the terminal was the trash disposal plant. The other was to transport corpses, and the terminal was the incinerator.
Sheng Yang stared at the corpse at the door, then at the blood in the bowl at the next table, and then at the mutton noodles in her bowl. She immediately felt nauseous. “The Rakshasa Empire is indeed chaotic…”
Sheng Wuque calmed down a little, but he couldn’t eat the noodles in his bowl either.
Only Yu Huang ate heartily.
She drank all the soup in the bowl before bringing Sheng Yang and the others to buy masks and cloaks. “You have to wear masks and black cloaks at the Golden Auction. Otherwise, you will be robbed after the auction.” In the Rakshasa Empire, killing, arson, burns, and robbery were all daily occurrences.
Here, the rule of the jungle reigned supreme.
At night, they went to the auction house.
The Golden Auction House was very popular, and every auction it held was packed.
When they entered the venue, everyone had to line up.
As Yu Huang queued, she noticed that the marriage line on her ring finger had moved.
She looked along the marriage line and realized that it had shortened quite a bit. The other end of the line was extended to the hand of a tall man with a white cat mask.
Yu Huang was speechless.
She extended her index finger and with a thought, her spiritual power turned into a little butterfly that flapped its wings and flew towards Sheng Xiao.
The butterfly landed on Sheng Xiao’s ear and kissed it gently.
Sheng Xiao crushed the butterfly and turned around. He saw Yu Huang in a fox mask and recognized her immediately.
At that moment, it was Sheng Xiao’s turn to check his ticket. Sheng Xiao went in first and waited for her.
Sheng Yang was in front of Yu Huang. When Sheng Yang walked past Sheng Xiao after checking the tickets, Sheng Xiao didn’t realize that it was Sheng Yang.
When Yu Huang entered, Sheng Xiao held her hand and lowered his head to ask her, “Why are you here?”
Yu Huang pointed at Sheng Yang. “Your sister is here too.”
“Yang Yang?”
Sheng Yang turned around and stared at Sheng Xiao, who was wearing a mask. She recognized her brother immediately. “Brother! Why are you here?!”
Sheng Xiao said, “I’m here to bid for the Soul Restoring Fruit.”
Sheng Yang said, “Me too.”
They both fell silent.
Yu Huang chuckled and said, “The two of you are filial children.”
“Let’s go in and find a seat.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Yang and the others were next to each other. Sheng Xiao was at the back.
This was Sheng Yang’s first time participating in the Golden Auction. She was especially excited and coveted every item. However, she came with a mission, so she didn’t dare to bid recklessly.
The Soul Restoring Fruit was a high-grade medicinal herb on the Upper World’s Demon Beast Continent. It was almost impossible to find on the Holy Spirit Continent. It could be imagined how precious it was.
The price set by the auction was very high. The starting price was one million spirit stones.
This price made many people give up.
Sheng Yang hurriedly raised her card and offered 1.1 million spirit stones. Soon, in the northwest corner, someone raised his card and offered 1.2 million spirit stones.
Sheng Yang went against him. When she raised the price to five million spirit stones, he finally stopped.
In the end, Sheng Yang obtained the Soul Restoring Fruit.
After the auction, Sheng Yang handed the Soul Restoring Fruit to Sheng Xiao immediately and asked him to keep it for her.
Sheng Xiao had already sensed a familiar aura around Sheng Yang. When they returned to the hotel, he walked to the corner of the corridor and said, “Come out.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man appeared beside Sheng Xiao.
This person was the butler of the Lovers Lake Villa.
“Please send the Soul Restoring Fruit back to Yufu City for me.” Sheng Xiao handed the Soul Restoring Fruit to the butler. The butler took the jade box and thought of something. He asked softly, “The patriarch’s birthday is coming soon. Aren’t Young Master and Young Madam going back to celebrate his birthday?”
The butler smiled and said, “This is the first birthday the Patriarch has celebrated since Young Madam married into the family. As his son and daughter-in-law, you two should go back and take a look. Besides…” The butler’s gaze darkened.” Since Madam isn’t by his side, the Patriarch would be very lonely. In the past, at this time, Madam would prepare a birthday banquet for the Patriarch. If you guys don’t go back this year, he will very lonely. ”
Sheng Xiao had almost forgotten about it. He felt ashamed and annoyed when he heard the butler’s words.
It was time to go back and accompany his father.
Sheng Xiao said to the butler, “Escort Yang Yang and the others back first. I’ll take leave from the school first and bring Young Madam back tomorrow.”
“Alright, then I won’t tell the Patriarch. Only then will it be a surprise.”
“Yes.”
However, Sheng Yang refused to leave. She insisted on going back with Sheng Xiao to visit the Holy Spirit Academy.
Sheng Xiao snorted. “Do you want to visit the academy or see Sheng Zhou? Do you think I don’t know?”
Sheng Yang stuck out her tongue. “It’s not easy for me to come here. Meeting him isn’t too much to ask, right?”
“How old are you? You’re not allowed to date yet.”
Sheng Yang was almost 18 years old, but in Sheng Xiao’s eyes, his sister would be a child even if she was 28 years old.
“How old am I?” Sheng Yang laughed sarcastically and retorted, “How old was Yu Huang when you hooked up with her? She was only 18 years old!”
Sheng Xiao became less imposing.
