Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

The price of 110,000 spirit stones caused an uproar in the audience.

Even someone as worldly-wise as Shen Yunxi couldn't help but gasp. Her eyes widened as she stared at Di Xuanshang, her gaze demanding, "What do we do now?"

Di Xuanshang: "140,000!"

Di Xuanshang merely glanced at her with a half-smile, his eyes seeming to say, "See? He'll keep following you."

Shen Yunxi rolled her eyes inwardly. So cunning! This guy is definitely doing this on purpose!

In the end, the thousand-year-old dragon bone was auctioned off to Elder Songhe for the astronomical price of 150,000 spirit stones.

"150,000! Sold!" Mei Niang excitedly brought down the gavel: "Congratulations to our distinguished guest in VIP room number seven for acquiring the Thousand-Year Dragon Bone!"

Shen Yunxi was astonished upon hearing this number. Elder Songhe was truly wealthy; 150,000 high-grade spirit stones—enough to buy a small city!

Meanwhile, in another private room, Jiang Shuyue was so angry she almost fainted. After a whole night of work, the dragon youth hadn't gotten his hands on it, and now even the thousand-year-old dragon bone was gone!

She lowered her eyes, silently cursing Xiao Chuhuan and Xiao Chuhuang as useless.

Shen Yunxi whispered to Di Xuanshang, "You stay here and watch over Songhe, I'm going to fetch that demon youth!"

Di Xuanshang nodded slightly in agreement. He ran his slender fingers across the storage ring, and a ring shimmering with a deep blue light appeared in his palm.

He handed the ring to Shen Yunxi: "Here you go!"

Shen Yunxi glanced at the ring and asked with a hint of doubt, "Didn't you already give me a storage ring? What is this...?"

Di Xuanshang gently placed the ring into Shen Yunxi's hand, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Just take it, there are some things inside that you might need."

Shen Yunxi accepted the ring without any pretense and went to fetch the demon boy.

"Distinguished guest, you've finally arrived!" The manager of Xinghe Auction House hurried out to greet him, his face beaming with smiles, his eyes narrowed into slits, resembling the Maitreya Buddha.

He rubbed his hands together, his tone full of flattery and joy, "Thanks to you, esteemed guest, today this thousand-year-old dragon bone has fetched an unprecedented price! In all my years at the Star River Auction House, I have never witnessed such a grand occasion!"

The auction house manager was secretly calculating his commission for the day, and his smile grew even brighter.

Shen Yunxi nodded: "I'll go get that demon boy."

"Alright, I'll take you there right away!" The shopkeeper led Shen Yunxi to a closed room.

At this moment, the little boy had changed into a clean set of coarse cloth clothes and was quietly curled up on the simple wooden bed. His small body was motionless, like a lifeless sculpture.

His eyes were empty and dull, reflecting the dim light in the room, like a stagnant pool, without a ripple.

Fearing that Shen Yunxi might misunderstand, the shopkeeper quickly explained, "This demon boy has been tamed, which is why he looks so dazed."

Actually, the boy was already in this state when they met him, which is why they were able to capture him without much effort.

The healer examined him and found that there was nothing wrong with his body, only his mental state was not good.

So they didn't think much of it, only that the demon boy had already been tamed before he met them!

Shen Yunxi nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand. You guys should leave for a bit. I need to form a bond with him."
