The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

After making the arrangements, Chen Nan entered the tavern.

As soon as I entered, I heard several alluring voices coming from the second floor: "Oh, grandpa's here to have some fun!"

"Whose young master is this? He's so handsome!"

"Young master, come upstairs to play with Daji!"

Chen Nan ignored this advances and focused all his attention on finding Hongming.

Finally, I saw Hongming sitting upright in the first two seats on the first floor, and Gousheng looking around next to him.

Upon seeing the person, Chen Nan didn't stop and rushed over as quickly as possible.

As soon as Chen Nan sat down, Hongming glanced at him and asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is Wu Xu?"

"There's an urgent matter at the Prince's residence that requires Wu Xu to go back and handle. He'll be back shortly."

Chen Nan made up a random excuse to brush it off.

However, the two of them clearly did not notice the surprised expression on Gou Sheng's face when Chen Nan mentioned the Prince's Mansion.

At this point, Gou Sheng not only began to doubt the identities of the two men, but also regretted taking on this mission.

Coincidentally, after the two finished their conversation, a person slowly walked up the platform in front of them.

The man wore a long emerald green robe, and each of his thumbs wore a jade thumb ring.

The man smiled politely and said, "I am Qin Ran, the master of Happy Forest. Welcome to Happy Forest, esteemed guests."

"Today is the first auction held in Happy Forest."

"To ensure the success of the Happy Forest Auction, all items will have no starting price; all bidding will depend on your participation!"

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion broke out below.

"Stop talking and get started, I can't wait any longer."

"Exactly, this guy talks too much nonsense. If it weren't for the fact that there are barbarian women being auctioned off, who the hell would come to your auction!"

The voice coming from below the seat did not displease Qin Ran; instead, she smiled and said, "Since you distinguished guests are in such a hurry, I won't waste any more words."

Immediately afterwards, he clapped his hands and shouted, "The Happy Forest Auction is now starting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five armored men walked up from each of the left and right sides.

Seeing this, Hongming was afraid he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes.

After confirming that she hadn't misread it, she turned to look at Chen Nan, just as she was about to speak.

Chen Nan interrupted him: "Don't talk, watch slowly!"

Yes, Chen Nan also knew that the armor worn by the ten people on the stage was the kind of armor that only the Northern Wei court could possess.

Furthermore, the swords worn by those people on the stage were only available to those in the Northern Wei court.

After being reminded by Chen Nan, Hongming didn't say much and calmed down to wait quietly.

She came here entirely because she heard that there would be a particularly ancient treasure at this auction.

Originally, I planned to just photograph that one treasure and then leave.

However, after arriving, she discovered that things were not quite as she had imagined.

Just after the ten people on the stage had taken their positions, a young woman came up from the right.

The woman looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair and delicate skin, and she walked with a swaying gait.

Hongming glanced at Chen Nan, and sure enough, she noticed that Chen Nan was staring intently at the young woman on the stage.

Enraged, she stomped on Chen Nan's foot.

Caught off guard, Chen Nan was stepped on solidly.

Although it hurt a lot, I endured it and didn't cry out.

He glanced at Hongming with a smirk, then looked away.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he had already started complaining in his heart.

If he had known there would be such beautiful things at the auction, why would he have brought Hongming along?

It would be so much better if I brought Wu Xu and Mo Bai along to play.

The atmosphere reached its climax as young women walked the runway.

Feeling the deafening shouts around him, Chen Nan finally understood why a brothel was located on the second floor of this tavern.

The first floor arouses desire, while the second floor provides direct relief.

Ideally, the third floor should be a casino, allowing you to get everything done in one go.

However, Chen Nan did not go upstairs, so he did not know that the third floor of Happy Forest was indeed a casino.

In Chen Nan's eyes, those shouts were nothing more than humanity's most primal desires.

But Hongming, standing to the side, complained coldly, "It's so noisy. If I had known the auction would be like this, I wouldn't have come."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan could no longer hold back. If Hongming left, he would definitely go with him.

If he leaves too, then the task of destroying Happy Forest will not be completed.

If the task is not completed, there will be no reward.

He quickly tried to persuade them: "Don't rush. You said it yourself, this is a no-man's-land, so it's normal for it to be a bit chaotic. We won't stay here forever; we'll leave as soon as we buy what we want!"

Hearing Chen Nan say this, Hongming patiently replied, "Alright, but we'll leave as soon as we buy what we need. We can't stay any longer!"

Chen Nan readily agreed.

Having been to auctions before, he naturally knew that those amazing treasures were always the last ones to be revealed.

Therefore, there is no such thing as leaving early.

Just then, the young woman on the stage smiled charmingly: "Esteemed guests, let us witness the first item up for auction today!"

"Dragon and Tiger Aphrodisiac Pill!"

"This Dragon Tiger Aphrodisiac Pill is a treasure that originated from the imperial palace. There is only one in the entire Happy Forest."

"After you eat this, I guarantee you'll have a new bride every day and a new groom every night!"

……

After the girl finished her introduction, a frenzy of buying began.

Chen Nan looked down at the crowd of people bidding wildly with disdain.

There was only a young emperor and an empress dowager in the palace. One was a woman, and the other was a little kid. No one needed such a thing.

He took it as an exaggeration by the auction house.

However, to his surprise, the Dragon Tiger Aphrodisiac Pill actually sold for 1,300 taels of gold.

Hongming, standing to the side, scoffed, "I really don't understand what you guys are thinking. How can something like this sell for over a thousand taels of gold?"

Seeing that Hongming showed no sign of blushing, Chen Nan's eyes widened in surprise.

Then, considering that the other party was a killing god on the battlefield, he felt relieved.

As the Dragon Tiger Aphrodisiac Pill event came to an end, and the person went on stage to collect their prize...

The girl on the stage took off her coat and handed it to the man along with the pills.

She also winked and said, "My lord, this is a personal gift from me!"

After saying that, she turned to the audience and said shyly, "Esteemed guests, whoever gets my last piece of clothing will be mine tonight!"

Upon hearing this, the group below urged them on even more frantically.

"Damn it, hurry up, I'm taking everything from here, don't anyone try to take it from me."

"Go to hell with you, everything else is mine, and this woman is mine too!"

Just as they were about to make their threats, Hongming glanced at Chen Nan again without making a sound.

However, this time Chen Nan's gaze was not on the stage.

He noticed that there were many more people dressed in armor around him.

These suddenly appearing people had already surrounded all the guests in the audience.
