Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 46: The Secondary Laughter of the Red Dust
evening!

After Dugu Han and Xu Tianzhen returned to the palace and had dinner with the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, they left the palace together and took Xue Lao to the annual auction house in Mingdu.

When we arrived at the place, what caught our eyes was a magnificent building.

The main door of the building was made of a single piece of black gold stone, inlaid with luminous pearls that emitted faint light, making the five large characters "Mingdu Auction House" particularly eye-catching.

Inside is a huge dome, which glows with an ancient metallic luster under the illumination of the soul guide lamp. It is engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, giving it a special solemn look.

The entrance of the auction house was crowded with people. All those who received invitations walked in dressed in gorgeous clothes and chatting and laughing.

On each side stood a row of Soul King-level guards, maintaining order at the scene.

After Dugu Han and Xu Tianzhen brought Xue Lao in, they each took out their own invitation letters.

Dugu Han's invitation was given by Xu Tianran, and Xu Tianzhen's invitation was her own. There was an extra sun and moon pattern on their invitations compared to others. It was an invitation specially sent by Mingdu Auction House to the royal family.

After seeing the invitation, the auction staff immediately respectfully took Dugu Han and the other two to the second floor, where they entered a luxuriously decorated VIP room.

Stepping into the private room, you will feel a velvet carpet made of the fur of a thousand-year-old soul beast. Every step you take feels like stepping on clouds, silent and soundless.

Several tapestries with soul beasts as the theme are hung on the wall. The delicate silk threads interweave to create lifelike pictures. They are either soaring in the sky or lurking in the abyss. At first glance, it seems as if those extinct soul beasts have come back to life.

In the center of the private room, there is a set of tables and chairs made of thousand-year-old dragon blood wood. The wood texture exudes a warm luster and there is a faint strange energy fluctuation.

On it was placed an auction soul guide, and next to it was a crystal container filled with fragrant fruits.

Directly in front is a floor-to-ceiling window made of special crystal, through which one can clearly see the entire outside from the inside, but nothing inside can be seen from the outside, and it can also block the detection of mental power.

After Dugu Han entered, he stood at the window and looked down at the crowded auction hall below.

There are still about ten minutes before the auction officially starts, but the seats below are already full of people.

There were men, women, young and old, of all kinds, and there were also a few mysterious people who were wrapped tightly and sitting in a dark corner, making it impossible to see their specific appearance.

"Is he an evil soul master?"

Dugu Han's attention was attracted by the mysterious people in the corner who were wrapped tightly.

He was wrapped up tightly and was in Mingdu, the base camp of evil soul masters. It was hard not to think of him as an evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Church.

But... if they were evil soul masters, how could they dare to appear so openly?

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Tianzhen picked up a fragrant spiritual fruit from the table, ate it and walked over curiously and asked.

"See if there are any competitors of mine!" Dugu Han turned around and said with a smile.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room.

Old Xue went to open the door. Standing outside was a staff member and two young boys and girls who looked about the same age as Xu Tianzhen.

"gentlemen!"

The staff at the door explained: "These two VIPs in the next box said they are your friends."

"It's my friend!"

Xu Tianzhen looked at the girl outside the door, walked over, took her hand, and said with a sweet smile, "Meng, are you here for the auction too?"

Upon hearing this, Old Xue nodded kindly to the two young men and women, and moved aside to let them in.

The girl called Meng walked in hand in hand with Xu Tianzhen and said with a smile, "I heard from Grandpa that there are ice-attributed external spirit bones on the auction this time, so I came to take a look."

After she finished speaking, she saw Dugu Han inside, with some confusion in his eyes.

She didn't know all the people in Ming who were qualified to play with Princess Xu Tianzhen, but she had some impression of them. However, she had no impression of Dugu Han at all.

The young man next to him also looked at the unfamiliar Dugu Han, his eyes filled with confusion. "He is my cousin Dugu Han, the heir of the Dugu family, which has been passed down for ten thousand years in the Tianhun Empire."

Xu Tianzhen noticed the two people's puzzled looks and explained with a smile: "Xiaohan is not from our Sun Moon Empire, so you don't know him."

When the young man and girl heard that Dugu Han was the heir of a family that had been passed down for ten thousand years, a strange look appeared in their eyes.

Then Xu Tianzhen took the girl's hand and introduced them to Dugu Han, "Xiaohan, this is my friend Meng Hongchen, and that's her twin brother Xiao Hongchen. They are the grandchildren of the Mingde Hall Master!"

"Hello!"

Dugu Han nodded politely to Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen.

"Hello there!"

Meng Hongchen responded immediately.

Xiao Hongchen, on the other hand, just nodded lightly, acting as if he deserved a beating and acting cool and aloof.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen hit Xiao Hongchen and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my brother has been mentally unstable for the past two years."

"fine!"

Dugu Han shook his head slightly. Compared to this, he cared more about what Meng Hongchen had said just now, that she came for the ice-attributed external soul bone.

"I just heard you say that you came here for that ice-attributed external spirit bone."

Dugu Han thought for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to take a picture?"

"no!"

Meng Hongchen chuckled and said, "I just heard about it from my grandfather, so I came to take a look out of curiosity."

"An external soul bone with a limited age of less than two thousand years is of no use to a soul master who has cultivated to the Soul Emperor level. Only a fool would spend eight million gold soul coins to buy it." Xiao Hongchen, who was standing next to him, gave his own evaluation of the external soul bone in a very pretentious manner.

Dugu Han: "..."

"Xiao Han was going to buy it!" Xu Tianzhen said speechlessly.

As soon as these words came out!
The next second, Xiao Hongchen felt a sudden pain in his feet. He couldn't help but cry out, and looked at Meng Hongchen and asked, "Meng, why did you step on me?"

"I want to go!"

Meng Hongchen rolled his eyes at his brother and said apologetically to Dugu Han, "He's not like this when my brother is at home."

"I can understand!"

Dugu Han smiled and said it was no problem.

In a case like Xiao Hongchen's, it's called Chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), just give him a beating!

He knows this too well!

With Xiao Hongchen, the middle school boy, around, Meng Hongchen didn't stay long. After talking to Xu Tianzhen for a few words, he pulled Xiao Hongchen back to his box.

After Dugu Han and the other two left, he and Xu Tianzhen sat in the box-level seats and waited.

Until the lights at the auction venue suddenly dimmed, and a strong spotlight shone on the auction table.

Then a woman in her thirties emerged from the darkness gracefully.

She was wearing a bright red cheongsam with a high slit. Her exposed skin was whiter than snow, forming a sharp contrast with the red cheongsam. Her big wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and a few strands of hair playfully fell on her swan-like neck.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of all the men in the audience.

Especially the way she walked slowly forward with a cat-like gait, her graceful legs swaying with every step, and her high slits faintly visible, made everyone in the audience hold their breath.

Arriving at the auction table, the alluring woman leaned slightly sideways, the light falling on her exquisite figure, outlining her curves vividly. Her every move and gesture were full of charm, making the hearts of the men present beat faster.

Then she revealed an extremely charming smile, parted her red lips, and said in a voice that was a bit lazy and charming: "Dear guests, welcome to this top-notch banquet. I am Su Rou, the auctioneer of this event."
