After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

Xun Cinema, Mihai Club.

Outside VIP room number ten, there was a commotion.

Liu Lian shoved aside the servant blocking his way, his tone fierce.

"Where exactly did you take my junior sister?"

"You will bring my junior sister here right now, or I will not let you off the hook!"

Facing the servants who stood in front of him, smiling obsequiously, Liu Lian's face twisted into a ferocious expression.

If it weren't for these clueless people stopping him, he would definitely have been able to get some more spirit stones from Guan Shanyue when he found her.

There's no way that fire coral could have fallen into the hands of that damned woman, Chu Luobai!

The servants standing outside felt nothing but bad luck.

How did they end up with such a person today?

He's incompetent, and he also likes to spend women's money.

No wonder that person cried so much and didn't want to go back to the private room.

Even if they were cursing each other in their hearts and were unwilling, they could only put on a flattering smile to appease each other at this moment.

"Distinguished guest, your junior sister is just resting upstairs. Please wait in the private room for a moment."

.........

On the other side, inside the auction hall.

The appearance of this Western Sea Mermaid's life-bound scale brought the atmosphere of the entire auction to another climax.

Unlike the previous competition for the fire coral, which was only between Chu Luobai and Liu Lian, this final item was a free-for-all involving everyone.

This natal shark scale has only been on the market for a short time, yet its price has already soared to three thousand high-grade spirit stones.

At this price, some people had already dropped out of the competition, and those who remained became more cautious when bidding.

However, Chu Luobai had not made a bid, which made these people somewhat wary.

Inside Box Number Two, Gu Lin was intently examining the natal shark scale in the center of the auction stage, pondering its origin and price.

The man sitting opposite him smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, have you taken a fancy to this natal shark scale?"

The man who spoke was dressed in an elegant black and white robe, with his black hair casually draped behind him, tied only by a matching hair ribbon.

A white band covered her eyes, and a blue birthmark seemed to be faintly visible between her eyebrows.

"I had my eye on someone, but I didn't..."

Gu Lin clicked his tongue and placed a white piece on the chessboard between the two of them.

"Why don't you tell my fortune, City Lord? Is this natal shark scale related to the royal family of the mermaids in the Western Sea?"

The man known as the city lord picked up a black chess piece and smiled calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Gu should know my rules for fortune telling: pay first, then have your fortune told. I treat everyone fairly, young and old."

"How did the once world-renowned fortune teller become a businessman reeking of money?"

"If other people knew this, they would be shocked."

Gu Lin pursed his lips and said deliberately.

The city lord ignored the sarcasm in Gu Lin's tone and simply placed the black piece in his hand steadily.

pat.

The black piece collided with the board, making a crisp sound.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, this is the sixty-seventh game you have lost to me.”

"Sigh, I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore, I can't beat you anyway."

Gu Lin, in a fit of despair, pushed the chessboard aside and turned his gaze back to his natal shark scale in the center of the auction house.

"I also know whether Chu Luobai will make a move. If she does, this natal mermaid scale is most likely related to the mermaid royal family."

"Chu Luobai? Is she the red-clad female sword cultivator who entered the city with you today?"

The city lord asked with some curiosity, how could he know everything about Xunying City through the puppet?

“Your swordsman friend is quite perceptive; he recognized the puppet I released at first glance.”

"Her talent is by no means inferior to mine. She came here specifically to see you, I wonder what she wants to ask you."

Gu Lin idly fiddled with the remaining chess pieces in his hand.

"As long as you can afford the price, I will tell you everything I know."

While the two were talking, the bid for the natal shark scale had already reached six thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Such a high price deterred even well-prepared bidders.

Now, only Box 3 and Box 7 remain in competition with each other.

It's quite obvious that these two private rooms are also nearing their end.

The magnitude and speed of price increases are both decreasing.

When the price hit 6,500 spirit stones, Chu Luobai stretched.

"That's about enough, it's time to join the battle."

Xun Nan, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat complicated upon hearing Chu Luobai's words.

Although he could not be considered a true cultivator, he still had some understanding of the scarcity of spirit stones due to his background.

More than six thousand high-grade spirit stones, that's already a very expensive price.

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even the descendants of powerful families would find it difficult to produce so many spirit stones in a short period of time.

Who exactly is this female sword cultivator beside me?

"Is there any other distinguished guest who wishes to make an offer?"

The price has now exceeded expectations, and Han Li is satisfied, his smile widening.

Just when everyone thought the price had reached its peak, Chu Luobai's slightly languid voice came from VIP room number one.

"I'll offer seven thousand high-grade spirit stones."

The moment the words left his mouth, the smile that had just appeared on the man's face in VIP room number three froze instantly.

Click.

The wine glass in his hand shattered with a crack.

The young women serving on both sides changed their expressions slightly and quickly knelt down on the ground.

"Who exactly is that person in VIP room number one?"

"The family has given a death order: we must bring back that natal shark scale today no matter what."

"Since you're going to try and take it from me, don't blame me for being impolite."

The maids, upon hearing this, simply lowered their heads further, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

........

On the auction stage.

Han Li counted down methodically, somewhat surprised.

Most of the people who come to Xunying City are here because of the city lord.

Chu Luobai came to the Misty Sea Gathering as soon as he entered the city and exchanged so many spirit stones, most likely because he needed something from that city lord.

Now, Chu Luobai has spent all the spirit stones she acquired...

Han Li suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. What would Chu Luobai bring out to exchange for spirit stones?

As the countdown ended, Chu Luobai let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, these spirit stones really don't last long."

"No wonder my master always tells me that once you become a sword cultivator, you'll always be short of spirit stones for the rest of your life."

Xun Nan, standing to the side, listened with a complicated expression.

"Have you ever considered that you actually don't lack spirit stones?"

Chu Luobai turned her head to look at the Miao boy sitting far away from her, and a strange urge to tease him arose in her heart.

"Oh, Xun Nan, what should I do? I'm out of spirit stones, so I can't redeem you."

Upon hearing the word "redemption," Xun Nan's face instantly darkened.
