The auctioneer's request drew all eyes to the second floor.
There, a small, adorable face greeted them with a delightful smile!
Everyone froze.
"This…"
"How can she be so young?"
"She's actually the owner of the Battle King Puppet?"
They found it hard to believe that the Battle King Puppet on the auction stage belonged to this little girl who looked only six or seven years old.
Who was this spendthrift young lady from some powerful family?
Selling even a Battle King Puppet?
A pair of long, narrow, beautiful eyes fell on Qi Yan'er. Su Mei frowned slightly, equally astonished.
She had noticed this little girl earlier because of the jade pendant and the departure of the white-haired old man.
Now she discovered the Battle King Puppet was also hers!
Who was she?
Under everyone's gaze, Qi Yan'er's eyes shifted to Su Mei.
Smiling, she said,
"Sister Su, I can agree to sell you this puppet, but please come to my place first."
"Okay!"
Su Mei agreed without hesitation.
It was just a matter of going to her private room.
What was such a small condition compared to getting the Dou Wang puppet?
At least, that's what she thought!
After agreeing, Su Mei immediately got up and turned to walk outside.
When he heard Qi Yan'er agree, the auctioneer on the crystal platform breathed a sigh of relief.
If this little girl hadn't agreed, he would have been in an awkward situation.
Others wouldn't dare to bid, and she wouldn't agree either, resulting in a failed auction?
This mysterious little girl probably wouldn't agree!
"Since both parties agree, let's begin the auction for the next item!"
The auctioneer didn't linger on the Dou Wang puppet and quickly started bidding on the next item.
The old man bent down, took out a silver tray, and said,
"Hehe, the next item to be auctioned is a little strange, because even that senior didn't figure out what its purpose is."
His words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
Even that senior auctioneer couldn't identify it?
Is it a treasure or just junk?
The auctioneer continued,
"However, after much scrutiny during the auction, we did manage to discern something. It seems to be some kind of unknown treasure map, though this is just speculation."
With that, the auctioneer carefully lifted the brocade cloth on the silver tray.
Instantly, a tattered, ancient piece of cloth appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Hush~"
After a moment of silence upon seeing the tattered cloth, the auction hall erupted in boos.
Clearly, their expectations had been dashed, and they were utterly disappointed upon seeing this!
"A treasure map? It's not even as good as my old rag!"
"If this were a treasure map, I'd cut off the bottom and use it to make wine!"
"I was really overthinking it; I actually had expectations."
"Yeah~ based on the previous auction order, after a hot item, a piece of junk appeared, and this really is just junk!"
Hearing the disdainful boos from below, the white-haired auctioneer remained all smiles.
After their research, they determined that the ancient cloth was likely a map, as evidenced by the route markings on it. However, they found nothing else.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
the auctioneer spoke again, pointing to some unidentified pattern on the edge, and chuckled,
"If I'm not mistaken, this map is quite old. Although we don't know what it hides, the fact that that senior valued it and wanted to auction it off shows that it's no ordinary item."
"An ancient artifact, even a tattered piece of cloth, must have some value, right?"
"People always want to gamble. If someone gets the complete map, with a bit of luck, perhaps what it hides will cause a sensation throughout the entire continent!"
"Tch~"
Most people scoffed at the old man's sales pitch.
They knew these guys' principles all too well.
They just wanted to bid higher prices; if it were something truly groundbreaking, why wouldn't their Blood Sect keep it for themselves?
Of course, not everyone was like that.
"Hehe~"
Qi Yan'er, who was waiting for Su Mei in the room, suddenly froze.
Her large eyes fell on the map, immediately flashing with a sharp light.
"Sister Yan'er, this rag looks so familiar!"
At this moment, Xiao Xun'er had also recognized it and said softly with a gentle smile.
Little Fairy Doctor smiled brightly:
"We really have a connection with it!"
"That's right~"
Qi Yan'er's lips curled up, beaming with joy.
Others might not know what the map being auctioned was, but how could they not know?
The half-pattern on the edge of that tattered map wasn't some kind of design, but rather…
"This map… is the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!"
As a renowned alchemist on the continent, how could Yao Chen not recognize it?
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking!
Under such demonic fire, let alone a Dou Zun, even a Dou Sheng would tremble in fear. If they could obtain it…
Yao Chen's body trembled violently, and he exclaimed,
"He really was right! If this thing could be pieced together into a complete map, it would indeed cause a sensation throughout the entire continent!"
"Teacher Yan'er, if I remember correctly, you already have one, right?"
Qi Yan'er blinked her big eyes and giggled,
"I already have two, and counting this one, that makes three!"
"Gulp~"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
They suddenly realized that what Little Fairy Doctor had said about fate was true!
Fate? What
fate? Even a map related to the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is not so easy to obtain.
Moreover, they haven't even left the Northwest Continent yet, and they've already obtained three!
Who would believe this?
It would be truly strange if she said it had nothing to do with her father!
Gu Xun'er: ε=(ο｀*)))
My dad is still the best!
Gu Yuan: (へ╬)
Isn't your father good enough? I even gave you the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!
Gu Xun'er: ╮(╯▽╰)╭
I don't even want to say it, is this what you gave me?
This is clearly the ancient clan's inherited strange fire, and you, as the clan leader, don't pass it on to my only daughter? Are you going to pass it on to your illegitimate son?
Gu Yuan: (⊙o⊙)… Rebellious daughter!
"Don't say anything yet, she's here."
Just then, Ling Ying suddenly
spoke in a deep voice. As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Su, come in quickly!"
As the door was opened, a long, snow-white leg stepped in.
Before, it was too far away, so only this exquisite figure could be seen. Now that it was closer, Qi Yan'er's smile on her face immediately became even brighter.
The woman who walked in was scantily clad and had a proud and sexy figure.
On the cheek resting against her jade-like ear, a black, alluring poppy pattern adorned the face—beautiful, yet deadly poison!
The woman's eyes were foxy, and she covered her mouth with a coquettish laugh:
"Sister Yan'er, come here..."
But before she could finish her sentence, she felt two immense pressures locking onto her!
