Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 62: Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Tiandou Royal Auction House is a super auction house that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Its luxurious decoration is no less than that of the royal palaces of some small countries.

Gu Feng and Dugu Yan came to the door of the auction house side by side. Just as they were about to step in, they were stopped by a doorman.

The doorman wore a professional smile, his tone polite yet unquestionable. "Please identify yourself, both of you. The Royal Auction House doesn't accept ordinary guests. If you don't have the necessary identification, you can still participate in the asset appraisal."

Gu Feng was not in a hurry. He took out the token of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect from his arms and handed it to the doorman.

The doorman lowered his head, and as his eyes met the token, a trace of awe flashed across his face. He hurriedly handed the token back to Gu Feng with both hands, and his attitude became extremely respectful: "Please come in, both of you. Someone will explain the precautions in the venue later."

Dugu Yan couldn't help but curl her lips as she watched this scene, her tone carrying a hint of sourness: "It seems that your identity is still effective. People from large sects are just different. I mentioned my grandfather before, but they wouldn't let me in."

Gu Feng smiled mysteriously and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, Senior Dugu has another hidden secret..."

"I don't care. I don't care if there's any hidden secrets. He won't let me in, but I'm going in anyway. Come on, let's go in and see what's inside."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan took Gu Feng's hand and walked towards the auction house impatiently.

As soon as the two entered the auction hall, a graceful and beautiful maid came to greet them.

The maid wore an exquisite eye mask and walked as lightly and gracefully as a cat, exuding a unique charm in her every move.

The maid walked gracefully to Gu Feng, bowed slightly, revealing a touch of her snow-white skin, and said in a soft and gentle voice: "Please follow me. The royal family will come forward to guarantee your safety in this auction house."

"But once you leave this place, life and death will be up to fate. Therefore, please wear the specially made masks."

Dugu Yan keenly noticed the maid's deliberate action, and a feeling of displeasure suddenly surged in her heart. She snorted and quickly pulled Gu Feng behind her, blocking his sight as if protecting food.

Seeing this scene, a hint of imperceptible loss flashed across the maid's eyes, and she quickly returned to her professional smile.

As a maid specially trained by the Tiandou Royal Auction House, she was brought here since she was a child.

The royal family gave them the opportunity to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, making them all multi-talented.

However, a cruel fate is hidden behind this.

If you cannot find the right person to redeem yourself when you are young, and wait until you are old, if you are lucky, you may be released from the auction house and return to ordinary life.

Those who were unlucky would be ruthlessly thrown into the Jiaofangsi, becoming women for others' entertainment and continuing to generate income for the royal family.

Dugu Yan waved her hands, her expression a little impatient. "Alright, alright, we all know. You can leave first."

"Yes." The maid bowed and slowly retreated.

After the maid disappeared outside the door, Dugu Yan immediately turned around, tapped Gu Feng's forehead with her finger, and scolded him, "Stinky brother, don't ever come here alone again. The bad women here are all very cunning. They might eat you alive."

The corners of Gu Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked helpless.

Speaking of bad women, it seems you are no less bad.

However, Gu Feng still nodded obediently and urged, “Sister Yanyan, let’s hurry to the venue.

It's no wonder he was impatient, because he had already found out everything the day before he came.

This time, the Royal Auction House seems to be auctioning a treasure from the sea...

Gu Feng and Dugu Yan walked into the venue and found a seat in the back row. The first few rounds of auctions were filled with mediocre and unremarkable items, which really didn't pique their interest.

Dugu Yan felt herself getting sleepy again and again, yawning repeatedly out of boredom. From time to time, she would nudge Gu Feng beside her with her elbow. She muttered in a very low voice, "How long will it take for something new and interesting to happen? If this keeps up, I'm really going to fall asleep."

Gu Feng was patiently comforting them, his eyes occasionally glancing at the crowd below the stage, and he was secretly looking forward to the real highlight.

Just as everyone was growing bored, the auctioneer suddenly announced in a mysterious voice, "Gentlemen, what follows are rare and valuable items. You're in for a treat."

The originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and focused on the stage.

The auctioneer waved his hand and the staff brought up a cage covered tightly with black cloth.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan was filled with surprise and couldn't help but blurt out: "Cage? Could it be that the auction house is selling soul beasts this time?"

Gu Feng's expression darkened, and he said in a gloomy tone, "Sometimes, those being bought and sold aren't necessarily just soul beasts..."

For these noble gentlemen, auctioning off human beings is just the tip of the iceberg in the dirty sewers of their daily lives.

After all, things that can be put on the table and talked about are no longer special.

"what?"

Dugu Yan was full of confusion. She failed to grasp the deep meaning of Gu Feng's words and was completely bewildered.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage suddenly pulled off the black cloth, and in an instant, a petite black-haired loli appeared in front of everyone.

The pair of furry fox ears on the loli's head trembled slightly, and the fluffy fox tail behind her swayed playfully. Every move she made exuded a unique charm.

"Gentlemen, this girl is a special being whose martial soul has mutated. After buying her back and training her into a personal maid, she will definitely be wonderful."

The auctioneer deliberately dragged out his voice, with a knowing, obscene smile on his face that all men understood.

When the nobles in the audience heard this, undisguised lust and greed appeared in their eyes.

"Gentlemen, the starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins!"

"I'll pay 110,000!"

A pot-bellied nobleman couldn't wait to make the first bid, his fat face full of uncontrollable greed.

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

Then, a shrill-voiced noble followed closely behind, his eyes full of eagerness and desire.

The price continued to rise, and in just a moment, it easily exceeded 300,000.

Dugu Yan's face turned extremely ugly. She had lived in a family of soul masters since she was a child. Although she knew that there were some shady deals in the soul master world, she was still indignant when she witnessed the scene of people being bought and sold as commodities.

Now she finally understood why Dugu Bo didn't allow her to come to such a place.

"This is too much! How can someone do such a cruel thing?"

Dugu Yan's chest heaved with anger. She turned and looked at Gu Feng eagerly: "Xiao Feng, can we save her? We can't just watch her fall into the hands of these evil people."
