Song Yu hit him fifty times, but she became much gentler after that. She quickly looked at Wu Lingjiu.

Wu Lingjiu, who was originally watching the fun, felt a tightness in his body.

He simply knelt down with his knees weak, holding Song Yu's legs and pretending to be naughty. Kneeling down meant nothing to him, just like lying down or squatting, but it worked for Song Yu very well, and Wu Lingjiu became more and more proficient in it.

"Sister, I know I was wrong, please don't hit me."

Song Yu frowned and pulled Wu Lingjiu away from him, "No, I'll let you go this time, but you'll dare to do it next time!"

"If you don't forgive him this time, he will dare to do it next time." Tang Zhishu added at the right time.

Wu Lingjiu curled his lips and glared at Tang Zhishu.

Song Yu was waving a branch to hit Wu Lingjiu, but seeing that he was dodging with his eyes closed, he didn't dare to really hide or run away. He just covered his face with both hands, stopped, changed to a thinner branch, and hit him lightly on the back a few times. Although he didn't use much force, Wu Lingjiu was still crying, and the little pearls kept coming out one after another, and he couldn't stop.

"Are you so wronged?" Song Yu was also surprised. She gently stroked the other person's back and looked inside through his collar. There was no bleeding, just a little redness. His skin was white and would turn red at the slightest touch, which showed that it was not serious.

"Sister." Wu Lingjiu cried and clung to Song Yu, refusing to let go no matter what. "You have to comfort me."

Tang Zhishu smiled and shook his head. Some people were so blinded by beauty that they couldn't tell the difference. How could he not tell the difference between grievance and coquettishness?

After leaving Song Yu's room, Tang Zhishu, who had received fifty beatings, returned to his own room. In the room, the servants were taking Song Tan with him, and he was still crying.

"Coward." Tang Zhishu pinched Song Tan's nose.

Song Tan looked at his father aggrievedly and decided to complain to his mother early tomorrow morning.

"Where do you want to go on an adventure next time? Let's ask Uncle Nine to take us there."

Song Tan looked at Tang Zhishu suspiciously, "Uncle Jiu said he won't go back."

"Don't worry, if I say he will go, he will go."

Little Song Tan was full of confusion, not understanding why his father was so sure.

There was an auction the next day, mainly for several medium-resource planets. These planets are usually not large, and the ore quality is not the best. They are difficult to mine, require high investment, and have low profits, but are relatively cheap. For some less powerful businessmen, they are a good choice.

For example, Tang Gengjie, as a prince, is certainly rich, but he is definitely not a top billionaire. There is a resource planet that is being auctioned that he has been eyeing for a long time. It just so happens that there are some equipment and personnel left by Tang Gengyao, which can save a lot of cost. As long as the planet is successfully acquired, it can be said to be a huge profit.

Because of this, Tang Gengjie has been very high-profile recently, especially since Tang Zhian took over. He often took the lead in disobeying Her Majesty the Queen. Tang Zhian has been trying to adapt to the position of Queen and enhance the people's trust in the royal family in recent years, and has not had the time to deal with him. Now the royal family's reputation has improved, especially after the birth of Tang Zhian's daughter, Princess Tang Qing, she has won the love of many people.

This time, Tang Zhishu was entrusted by Tang Zhian to fight for the resource star.

The auction hall was grand and majestic, with a row of luxury cars parked at the door and several of the latest short-distance space travel devices installed, not for their usefulness, but to highlight the word "luxury".

Tang Zhishu showed the invitation, but the doorman hesitated and did not let him in immediately.

"Please wait a moment." The doorman was very polite and spoke gently.

Then he turned his back and turned on the communicator. The voice was very low, but Tang Zhishu could still hear it.

"Manager, there's a matchmaker who doesn't have a pacifier leading them and has a separate invitation. I've never seen this style before. Aren't the matches we contract at the auction only attached to the pacifier's invitation?"

"It's called the Book of Song and Tang."

"Hey, good."

He quickly turned around and immediately put on a smile, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, for taking up your time."

Tang Zhishu was a little helpless, but he didn't argue with a doorman.

Ever since there were two SSS-level Pacifiers at once, the status of the Matchers seemed to have declined again.

After entering, Tang Gengjie was already there, and his princess was sitting next to him. He was not as arrogant as Tang Gengyao, but he didn't seem to care much about the princess either.

The waiter brought Tang Zhishu a menu with some drinks and snacks on it. I don’t know how they taste, but the prices are top-notch.

Tang Zhishu curled his lips and returned the menu, "No, thank you."

"What? Our little matchmaker has no money?" Tang Gengjie was very proud. "Would you like your uncle to buy you a glass of juice?"

Tang Zhishu glanced at him and said nothing.

Tang Gengjie became increasingly excited. "I heard he got beaten yesterday and screamed so miserably. How's it going, nephew? Does your butt still hurt?"

"How did you know?" Tang Zhishu's eyes were filled with danger. "You have spies in Bai Ze Palace too?"

"Hey, don't say such harsh words. It's just that the servants in my palace are acquainted with the servants in Bai Ze Palace." Tang Gengjie pointed to the drinks and snacks on his table. "Whatever you like, nephew, feel free to take it."

Tang Zhishu didn't look at him. He was the only one sitting at the round table for four, and seemed a little lonely.

Soon, the auction began. At first, it was two very small planets, which were said to be able to be developed into tourist attractions. However, due to the far distance and small developable area, not many people were interested. The price was not high either, only about 10 million.

Of course planets are expensive, but not that expensive. First of all, the interstellar empire has no shortage of planets. There are countless unowned planets outside the territory they have designated. Anyone can develop them if they want, and the number is almost endless. Secondly, not every planet is suitable for human survival. The vast majority of them can only be mined by machines, and a small part of them are only in some special places where humans can stay for a short time. There are actually very few planets that can be used for humans to build domes and live there.

Otherwise, primitive people would not have chosen so many times and finally returned to Planet 001.

When he arrived at the third resource star, Tang Gengjie's eyes lit up.

Not only does this planet have a small number of locations that are very suitable for human habitation, with almost no need to build domes, but it also has relatively abundant resources, so it is very expensive, with a starting price of 100 million star coins.

Tang Gengjie was the first to make a bid, increasing the price by 10 million each time.

Soon someone followed suit and made a bid. The competition for this planet was fierce, and the price soon rose to 240 million, which was almost its highest price. If it was any higher, there would be a risk of not getting back the money invested.

Tang Gengjie was a little anxious. He looked at Tang Zhishu and waited for him to make a bid.

"So, you really came here to watch the fun?" Tang Gengjie wanted to provoke Tang Zhishu.

Sure enough, Tang Zhishu took a look and raised the price by 250 million, exceeding the 240 million that Tang Gengjie had previously offered.

Tang Gengjie was obviously relieved, his smile full of amusement, "Since you want it, nephew, then I'll give this planet to you."

Indeed, this planet wasn't what he wanted. Knowing that Tang Zhishu was here to ruin his plans, he had deliberately thrown a smokescreen, competing with others for this resource planet. As long as Tang Zhishu fell for it and invested all his money on the third resource planet, he would certainly not be able to compete with him for what he wanted.

He was a little anxious when Tang Zhishu didn't bid just now, because he didn't have enough money to buy two resource stars. If Tang Zhishu refused to bid, then he would really lose both the wife and the army.

Fortunately, Tang Zhishu was fooled.

"So uncle's target isn't this planet?" Tang Zhishu showed a hint of panic. "Oh no! I'm going to be beaten to death by the Patriarch this time."

"Don't worry, your uncle will bring the Queen to plead for you when the time comes."

Tang Gengjie had already imagined seeing Tang Zhishu beaten half to death, and the thought made him happy.

For nearly two hours, Tang Zhishu didn't even order a sip of water. He seemed to be really panicked.

Until the last resource star was displayed at the auction, Tang Gengjie did not rush to bid this time. Instead, he waited until the end and bid 330 million. Seeing that several other competitors had cold sweat on their foreheads, Tang Gengjie knew that this time he had a sure win.

At this moment, the number 16 sign belonging to Tang Zhishu was raised and he raised the price.

"The gentleman at table 16 raised the price by ten million. The current price is three hundred and forty million."
