My Heaven-Defying Spirit

Chapter 16 Interlude

"Master, Master! Run slower, I can't catch up with you."

The Linglei Dynasty had thirteen city-states of varying sizes, and the Luo family was located in Jiayuan City, one of these thirteen city-states.

This place covers a very small area, and basically every household in the city knows a thing or two about each other. Although the area is small, the people here all live a well-off life, and the living conditions are considered good among many dynasties. It's just that the Lingwei Dynasty is not warlike, and it is located in the north, so as long as they don't recruit people, other people will not set their sights on coming here. Rather than saying that this is a dynasty, it is better to say that it is a large business holy land. The local emperor here is not warlike, and he was born in one of the thirteen major families.

As for the thirteen major families, they are the thirteen most powerful families in the Lingwei Dynasty, and the Luo family is one of them.

At this time in Jiayuan City, Xiao Ming Huai Shang was happily trotting along the streets, running around, causing the old housekeeper who was over 60 years old behind him to follow him all the way, but he was unable to do so, and soon Xiao Ming Huai Shang disappeared.

Meanwhile, on another street, Ming Huaishang was eating the candied haws he had just bought with a smug look on his face, muttering to himself, "The candied haws in this world taste pretty good, but after eating them for too long, I'm bound to get tired of them."

Eight years ago, he traveled through time before his death. Because he worked overtime for thirteen consecutive days at the request of the company's leaders, he died suddenly. He was only 28 years old at that time! Until he was finally pushed onto the operating table and saw the doctor announce the result of death, he heard the crying of his family members, and he was very reluctant to let him go. But as his hearing slowly disappeared, he also accepted that his ordinary life had come to an end!

But with a dizzy head, when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was alive again, but in the arms of a woman. At that time, he was still a cradle baby. The midwife saw that the baby did not cry after being born, and even hit his feet hard. This is also because some babies are not used to it when they are just born. Seeing this situation, Ming Huaishang could only pretend to cry, otherwise he would make a fuss for who knows how long.

As Ming Huaishang grew up, he also got to know more or less about the world he lived in from books. It was nothing more than the struggles between dynasties, which he was not interested in. As for his mother asking him to do business, he was even less interested. He had worked enough jobs in his previous life, and he didn't like dealing with businessmen at all. He wanted to live his life again freely and unrestrainedly and have his own wonderful life!

Recently Ming Huaishang has been thinking about the way of cultivation in this world, because he always hears his grandmother say that there are "immortals" in this world. The existence of immortals proves that this world must have spiritual power, magic power and the like. However, Ming Huaishang has lived in this world for eight years and has never felt any abnormal movement in his body. He wondered, if he lived his life again, couldn't he live the life he wanted as he wished!

After thinking about these, although he felt a little disappointed, he changed his mind and thought that he was still young. When this body grew up in a few years, maybe something would be triggered. Maybe he had not reached that age yet. Ming Huaishang thought so, and his mood suddenly became much better. He walked out of the street happily and turned to see the panting old butler again.

.........

At night, Jiayuan City is full of lights. It is an economic hub. There are many people selling small commodities on both sides of the street.

There is a place with a lot of people on the side of the street. This place is the largest auction house in Jiayuan City, where some of the most bizarre things in the world are auctioned.

Of course, there are some strange items that are auctioned off occasionally. Although no one knows what they are, there are always people who like them and take pictures of them.

The auction house is divided into three floors. The first floor is for some common toys, most of which are available on the market and can be afforded by ordinary people.

The items on the second level are a little more scarce than those on the first level. Although they are available on the market, they are very rare and are a must-have for ordinary merchants.

Finally, the third floor is the most luxurious place. It is also the place where the best things in the auction house are auctioned. The things on the third floor are basically not available on the market and the prices are very expensive. It is the gathering place for the children of the rich and powerful of the dynasties and some rich and powerful families.

At this time, Ming Huaishang, who was only eight years old, also came to the auction house and sat in an elegant room on the third floor. At this time, Ming Huaishang had lost his childishness and exuded a sense of maturity. This was not the aura that an eight-year-old child could exude.

Ming Huaishang, who was sitting in a private room on the third floor, looked at the items being auctioned below with some boredom. They were all strange and bizarre, but they did not have much appeal to him, a person who had traveled through time and space.

When Ming Huaishang thought of traveling through time, he naturally thought of magic and cultivating immortals. He knew that there was indeed spiritual power in this world, so he was naturally not interested in these earthly things.

Looking at the wealthy people below who were fiercely bidding for an item, Ming Huaishang yawned. Just as he was about to leave this boring place, the previous auction item had been sold out, and the next item was launched.

"Everyone, the items being auctioned below are definitely things you have never seen before!" The auction house manager standing below the stage said to those on the stage with a smile.

The crowd that was arguing over the previous item also quieted down, and curiously looked down at the object covered with a red cloth in the hand of a charming woman standing behind the manager.

Naturally, Ming Huaishang, who was originally planning to leave, also stopped and stared at the things below curiously.

"The next item was something my young lady found by chance in her early years."

After saying that, the steward glanced at the woman behind him, and the woman immediately lifted the red cloth in her hand, revealing a bead with blue light flashing around it.

At this time, everyone on the stage was curious. Isn't this just an ordinary glowing bead? You can buy it at any street stall.

People who don't know the situation all think so, but some women present have bright eyes.

After seeing the bead, Ming Huaishang was also stunned. He naturally knew what this thing was. This was his mother's beauty bead!

The manager in the field was also delighted when he saw the passionate eyes of those women. It seemed that the effect was achieved.

"This pearl is called the Dingyan Pearl! It can beautify and nourish the skin, and it can also ward off evil spirits. The wearer can avoid minor illnesses, and it can also calm the mind. It is the best jewelry for women to wear."

After the steward finished saying this, the men who were originally very excited sighed. This thing was of no use to them. However, the wives and concubines beside them did not think so. They stared at their husbands fiercely.

It seems to be saying, "I must have this thing! Otherwise, you will be in trouble when you go back!"

As soon as the manager finished speaking, the people on the stage started bidding like crazy, raising the price one by one almost desperately, and the final price almost doubled by dozens of times.

"I want this thing!" Just as the women were frantically bidding, a childish voice came from the third floor, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Ming Huaishang in the elegant room on the third floor naturally recognized that the beads were what his mother had worn since childhood.

At this moment, Ming Huaishang was lying lazily on the chair, holding an apple in his hand, and then took a bite. A faint sentence floated out from the room:

When they heard that the voice came from a child, the astonishment on the women's faces disappeared and they began to question.

"What's the point of buying this thing for a little kid like you? Don't come and join in the fun."

"That's it"

Although Ming Huaishang's voice came from the third floor, where the VIPs of the auction house sat, when they heard that it was a child, their tone was also disdainful.

Just when they thought this was just a minor incident, the manager standing in the middle of the field said something that shocked them.

"Everyone, this item was bought by our young master. The price is negotiable. This item is now gone."

The manager was actually stunned. He didn't expect that the young master of the family would also come to join in the fun today.

After hearing what the manager said, they of course knew who the person on the third floor was. He was the young master of the Luo family. This auction house belonged to him. No matter how high their bids were, they would not be able to win!
