Chapter 1017: Huang Yuanlang
Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Huang Yuanlang
The private room was enormous because it was prepared with the Dragon Clan in mind. The entire auction house was immensely vast, more than a hundred times larger than the Shrek City Auction House.
Lan Xuanyu and his companions were seeing such a massive auction house for the first time.
Bai Xiuxiu had reverted to her human form, with long deep blue hair dangling behind her head, wearing a white long dress. The other six were still in their Blue Sea Tribe appearances, following closely behind her with utmost respect.
What surprised Lan Xuanyu and his companions was that there didn’t seem to be any member of the Dragon Horse Star System’s races moved by Bai Xiuxiu’s stunning beauty, as if from their aesthetic perspective, they were not particularly interested in the appearance of humans. Instead, there was more awe.
The news about a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan appearing today had clearly spread like wildfire. A human appearance, in the Dragon Horse Star System, was often seen as a sign of the upper-rank Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Horse Star System was opposed to the Douluo Federation, so it was impossible for real humans to be here.
Although there were six of them, compared to the 1,000-square-meter private room, they seemed somewhat insignificant. The height of this room exceeded forty meters, with over a thousand square meters of space. Even a Giant Dragon over a hundred meters long could easily participate in the auction here.
Moreover, the location of their private room was excellent, right in the center of the space.
In front of them was a huge arc-shaped balcony, from which they could see the vast auction stage in the distance. Even though they couldn’t see clearly, just looking down from here at the dense crowd of various races from the Dragon Horse Star System, they naturally felt a sense of superiority.
Inside the private room, there was also a special screen that magnified the auction stage. To see clearly, they still had to look at the screen. There was a special bidding device for participating in the auction.
When they entered, they were informed that the guests in the private room were the most esteemed, with the privilege of winning an auction item at the base price once. However, if another guest in a private room joined the bidding, the auction would continue.
Bai Xiuxiu sat down on the sofa, which suited her just fine since she was in human form. Naturally, Lan Xuanyu and the others couldn’t sit, as they were playing the role of Bai Xiuxiu’s subordinates.
A dedicated young servant girl brought over various foods and drinks that Lan Xuanyu and his companions had never seen before. Not having seen them was not important; the abundant vital energy within the food already showed its considerable value.
These could be considered specialties of the Dragon Horse Star System. Bai Xiuxiu tasted some and found them delicious, and with human taste buds, they would still taste good, especially a kind of green fruit juice, which was very sweet.
The young servant girl was also from the Blue Sea Tribe, which clearly showed that the auction house had been very thoughtful towards Bai Xiuxiu. Her subordinates were all from the Blue Sea Tribe, and to that lower-rank Dragon Clan present today, it seemed that this high-ranking noble had a preference for the Blue Sea Tribe.
Lan Xuanyu and his companions initially thought that earning over a million Dragon Horse Coins today was already quite a feat and that they should be able to buy something at the auction house, but upon arrival, they realized that there were far more wealthy individuals than they had imagined.
The entry threshold itself was a deposit of three hundred thousand Dragon Horse Coins, but the number of people participating in the bidding below was at least over a thousand. How much money was that?
The wealth of the Dragon Horse Star System’s resources was clearly much more extravagant than they had imagined.
Soon, the people downstairs had nearly all taken their seats. Lan Xuanyu and his companions also faintly heard a deep “rumble” coming from the other private rooms on the second floor, likely belonging to members of the Dragon Clan. To enter a second-floor private room, one needed not just money but also status. The Dragon Clan was obviously the most likely candidate.
On the auction stage, a creature with colorful plumes on its head walked up. It was about three meters tall, with the plumes extending to its back. It walked upright on its legs but had four arms. It was dressed in red leather, with a distinctive head that resembled that of a human but with three eyes and no hair.
“`
What race is this? Lan Xuanyu used his soul communicator to do a search and learned that this is the Colored Feather Clan, also known as the Three-eyed Feather Clan. It’s a minor race in the Dragon Horse Star System.
The most distinctive feature of this race is their powerful Spiritual Power, capable of affecting others. They also fight using their Spiritual Power. There have been God level strong individuals within the Colored Feather Clan. They are considered a rather high-class race in the Dragon Horse Star System.
“Hello everyone, welcome to today’s auction. My name is Yi Cai. Today, I will be serving all of you. To the noble guests on the second floor, Yi Cai offers her respects.” As she spoke, she bowed slightly towards the second floor.
The auction house was so large, but her voice could clearly enter everyone’s ears, or rather, into everyone’s minds. Lan Xuanyu immediately deduced that this auctioneer possessed Spiritual Power of the Spirit Domain Realm. Her voice even had an invisible appealing power that unconsciously concentrated people’s emotions and focus onto her.
“Our bidding will start shortly. After looking at today’s auction catalog, my heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up. There are quite a few good items today. Please feel free to bid and participate actively.”
Yi Cai was introducing the items below when suddenly the door to the private room where Lan Xuanyu and his companions were located was pushed open.
Lan Xuanyu turned his head to look towards the entrance and was immediately startled.
The person who came in was not the Blue Sea Tribe girl who had been responsible for their service earlier, but a man. Yes, a man.
The newcomer had a somewhat exotic orange long hair, cascading down his back. He wore a white suit, very similar to a human’s white dress suit. He was handsome and tall, with quite the air of elegance.
Lan Xuanyu only glanced at him and clearly sensed the bloodline aura on this person. Dragon Clan, without a doubt, and moreover, one that could transform into human form belonging to the higher-ranking Dragon Clan.
The sound of “thud thud thud” followed behind him, as the Lower-rank Dragon Clan member they had met this morning also entered.
Lan Xuanyu somewhat understood the reason they were invited to the auction today. He made eye contact with his companions, and they quietly concealed their auras, while the illusion ability of their Treasure Hunting Beast strengthened.
The man stopped not far in front of Bai Xiuxiu, smiled, and nodded to her. When he saw Bai Xiuxiu’s appearance, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, and his pupils momentarily sharpened, but then they returned to normal.
The Lower-rank Dragon had already crouched down and said respectfully, “Honored higher-ranking Lord, this is my Young Master. He is the Young City Lord of Fenglong City. The Young Master learned of your participation in the auction and hurried over to meet you.”
Bai Xiuxiu glanced at the Young City Lord, didn’t utter a word, but simply tilted her head up slightly, naturally revealing a sense of coldness.
Seeing this, the Young City Lord wasn’t angry but waved his hand, and the lower-rank Dragon Clan member retreated backward out of the room.
The Young City Lord naturally sat down on the sofa next to Bai Xiuxiu, “I apologize for the intrusion. My human name is Huang Yuanlang. Knowing that Beloved Sister has arrived, my heart was pleasantly surprised, hence my sudden visit. I hope Beloved Sister will forgive me. May I ask for Beloved Sister’s given name?”
Listening to his words, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but be a bit surprised; even in Douluo Federation, few spoke in such a refined manner. This member of the Dragon Clan, when speaking, did have quite the air of a modest gentleman.
Bai Xiuxiu turned her head and glanced at him, “Xiuxiu.”
“Just one word? Human names generally consist of two or three words. How about I call Beloved Sister ‘Xiuxiu’? The beauty of humans is something those inferior races cannot comprehend, but we appreciate it very much. The human body structure is even more suitable for self-improvement than our Dragon Clan. Beloved Sister’s ability to cultivate a human form is truly an impressive talent! I heard Beloved Sister demonstrated an ice attribute aura today, which must have given those inferior races quite a fright. The Blackbeard Clan who offended Beloved Sister, I have already captured them, to be disposed of by Beloved Sister however you wish.” Huang Yuanlang was very talkative, always smiling.
