Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

After half an hour.

The boat set off staggeringly.

Xia Bai'an almost vomited out all the food he ate today, but fortunately the surrounding area became quiet after the boat set off, and footsteps could be heard from the promenade, as if they were going to the auction place.

Xia Bai'an took a sip of bitter tea while looking at the receipt in his hand.

The auction item didn't even have the word Longji Teng written on it, but there were three items, and only rare medicinal materials were written.

However, these medicinal materials were scattered around the front, middle and back.

Xia Bai'an thought for a while, and it was better to get in early, so he put on the black hat with gray gauze and walked outside.

Sure enough, the promenade was full of people in black. They all walked in one direction in silence. Only the lettering on the bracelets could identify different people.

She followed the people round and round, and finally came to a hall.

The hall is considered a relatively large place, with more than 20 seats scattered in different positions, she found her own table and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a servant girl walked up to him: "Your saber, leave it to the servant girl for now."

"I've never heard of this rule of keeping knives away." Xia Bai'an smashed the teacup down with a snap.

When the people around heard the sound, they vaguely glanced back, but quickly withdrew their eyes and stared at the table.

The servant girl said: "This is the rule of our gambling house. If your lord is not willing, we can only ask you to leave."

After finishing speaking, the servant girl even looked at the tall bodyguards at the door.

Definitely can't beat it.

Xia Bai'an rubbed her nose. Originally, she just wanted to perfect her heroine design. If she didn't really get beaten up then, the gain would outweigh the loss.

She snorted coldly and slapped the saber on the table.

A loud bang.

The servant girl was startled, but seeing Xia Bai'an slowly withdrawing her hand, the servant girl held her knife tremblingly and left.

In the dark corner, there was a sudden laugh.

Xia Bai'an followed the prestige, but only saw a corner surrounded by a screen, and a man was leaning inside, his face was invisible, only half of his slightly bent waist was visible.

She was not a little upset, and thought that she should be a hot-tempered knight, and said immediately: "What are you laughing at?"

The man didn't seem to expect her to ask such a question, and straightened his back a little.

"A ruffian is a ruffian, he doesn't listen to the rules of the capital, and he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut."

What came was a woman's charming voice.

Xia Bai'an frowned, only then did he see a weak and boneless woman walking out from the screen, with one hand lightly placed on the edge of the screen, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Don't ask too many questions. It's better to sit here and be a living person than to go to the bottom of the lake with a stone and become a water ghost."

After the woman finished speaking, she twitched and placed the two screens tightly together, completely hiding her figure.

Xia Bai'an thought, the person inside could be the owner of the gambling house.

She is puzzled.

The person next to him with the 25 bracelet made a sound.

"Be quiet, don't hinder the old man from making money."

"..."

Who will make money in the casino auction.

There are too many strange people here.

Xia Bai'an pursed his lips and didn't make a sound anymore. Instead, he looked at the person at table 25, and found that one of his hands was as withered as an old man's, while the other arm was very young...

It turned out to be a false arm.

Xia Bai'an was astonished, she never thought that there was such a powerful technology in ancient times, she pinched it with the intention of studying.

Then wiped a hand with oil.

Damn, it turned out to be real flesh, but it looks like pigskin wrapped in wax.

"Hey, why did you brother touch my hand?" The voice was young.

"Slippery."

Xia Bai'an responded thoughtlessly.

The man was so angry that he jumped up, cursing and trying to beat her up.

Xia Bai'an was stunned for a long time, and quickly swung the man away with his forearm, and a few servant girls who were squatting around rushed over, pulled the man away, and hugged him to rest in a consoling manner.

The maid on Xia Bai'an's side said: "You will cause trouble, otherwise, why don't you sit on the second floor."

"..."

There is even a second floor here!

Xia Bai'an was a little startled, but after thinking about it, he just offended someone big, and now he seems to have offended someone again, so he should go upstairs first, don't go downstairs to be curious about something later, he will be killed directly.

She nodded and followed them to the second floor to sit down.

When she was seated, she realized that the person in the screen in the corner had disappeared. Instead, the screen had been erected again on the other side of the second floor. Some ambiguous voices.

Do you want to play so big!

I'm still just a kid.

Xia Bai'an, who had never been in a relationship in his previous life, couldn't stand it anymore, and kept drinking tea to cover up his embarrassment.

After finally waiting for the auction, Xia Bai'an was not interested in the things in front of her, and she only took a few more glances when a medicinal material appeared.

Medicinal materials are precious, but unfortunately they are not what she wants.

Moreover, the 3000 taels of silver in her hand was still borrowed from Miao Linlang, plus the private money she had been hiding all the time, it was about 8000 taels in total, and her own space needed to be continuously injected with vitality, she had to Save some money, and when it's critical, you can buy some live plants and stuff them in.

Try to win 6000 taels.

Thinking this way, she waited for a long time and yawned lazily when the dragon's back vine was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the screen next door quieted down, and a clear male voice came: "Little brother, what are you going to shoot?"

Xia Bai'an didn't even raise his eyelids: "Shoot what I want."

"The auction is almost over."

"It's not over yet."

"Ah."

"Hehe." Xia Bai'an responded with a cold face and laughed loudly twice.

Did this old pervert have enough fun with his own woman, so he came to have fun with himself?

She was about to wonder about the identity of that person, when she heard the person on the table say, "The last rare medicinal material, Dragon's Back Vine!"

Xia Bai'an's back straightened accordingly.

On the contrary, everyone under the stage sighed and spoke again and again.

"What kind of rare item is this? It's not a great tonic, and it's not a life-saving miracle medicine. It can also be regarded as a rare medicinal material!"

"Hurry up and take this thing down, what about the rest?"

Most of the remaining guests came aiming at what they wanted, and they stayed here for a long time, and they were a little impatient.

The people on the table just laughed: "Is there anyone bidding for this thing?"

"One or two."

Xia Bai'an suddenly made a sound and raised his bracelet.

Many people looked at the second floor in unison, and some even burst out laughing.

The person on the table was obviously taken aback for a moment, and that person even looked at the screen not far from Xia Bai'an: "Is there anyone else bidding?"

Xia Bai'an keenly saw the gaze of the host on the stage.

Worse, isn't the one in the screen the host who also came for the dragon's spine vine?

The screen was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "1000 taels."

There was an instant silence on the first floor.
