Balala the Magic Fairy

As night fell, Zhu Bajie, who had been bored in the inn all day, saw Yan Lili and the others come back, and couldn't wait to ask about the result of today's game.

"I didn't watch this game, can you tell me what it was like?"

Yan Lili smiled and said, "Bajie, this competition is really wonderful. Those young men have their own style, especially the top three, who are even more outstanding."

Zhu Bajie scratched his head and asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, what's so special about these top three?"

Xiaoyue took over the conversation: "The first place winner, Fan Zhendong, was wearing pink clothes, and his posture in the lotus pond was charming and beautiful, and his singing voice was as melodious as the sound of nature. That look was really unforgettable."

Zhu Bajie's eyes widened when he heard this: "Oh, is it really that good? It's a pity that it's a boy!"

Yan Lili went on to say, "And the second place winner, Jin Taiheng, was dressed in golden clothes, with a warm and charming smile. He summoned a crane to bring a golden lotus and dance gracefully. The scene was so beautiful."

Zhu Bajie smacked his lips and said, "That sounds just average."

Xiaoyue added: "The third place winner, Yamazaki Kento, is not bad either. He is dressed in purple and looks very elegant. His figure in the lotus pond is like a dream."

Zhu Bajie said disdainfully: "What a shame that such a grand gathering is filled with men. I, an old pig, would rather not watch it!!"

As the three of them chatted, they prepared to go downstairs to eat.

They sat around a wooden table. Zhu Bajie held a shiny chicken leg in his hand and took big bites of it, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"This chicken leg smells so good!" Zhu Bajie said incoherently while eating.

Xiaoyue held a bowl of clear soup and sipped it. Her eyes wandered around the inn, observing the surrounding environment.

The inn was bustling with people, some were talking loudly, some were whispering, it was very lively.

Yan Lili sat quietly aside, playing with a wine glass in her hand, with a hint of contemplation in her eyes. She glanced at the entrance of the inn from time to time, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, the conversation at the next table caught Yan Lili's attention. They were several women in gorgeous clothes. Although their conversation was not loud, it was clearly audible in the noisy inn.

"Have you heard? Among the young men in today's Men's Appreciation Meeting, except for the top three, the others are being auctioned off now!" There was a hint of excitement in the voice of the woman in the red dress.

The woman in the green dress nodded and whispered, "I've heard that too. Those young men were carefully selected from hundreds of countries. They not only have outstanding looks, but also have their own talents. This auction is a rare opportunity."

The blue-dressed lady's eyes sparkled. She whispered, "I've prepared the funds. I didn't buy it last year, so I must buy one this year that suits my taste the most and put it at home for enjoyment."

The woman in the red dress also nodded: "Me too, I went too late last year, I can't miss it again this year. I'm tired of those mediocre girls at home, this time, you two don't fight with me!"

Yan Lili frowned slightly, her eyes swept across Xiaoyue and Zhu Bajie, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Let's go take a look too."

Xiaoyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked in a low voice: "Sister Lili, do you want to buy one too?"

Zhu Bajie waved the chicken drumstick in his hand excitedly and shouted, "Go! Of course I'll go! I want to see what's so good about these men! What makes these women fight over them."

After the three of them paid the bill, they left the inn and walked towards the auction venue.

Fangshan Kingdom was brightly lit under the night sky. The shops on both sides of the street were lit with bright colored lights, illuminating the entire city like daylight.

The auction venue was located in a huge square in the center of the city. A high platform was built in the center of the square, on which was placed a row of cages forged from pure gold. There were seventeen cages in total from left to right. The boxes contained the young men who did not rank among the top three during the day.

Below the stage, a group of gorgeously dressed ladies were discussing something with great interest. Their eyes swept over the young man in the golden cage, pointing and commenting from time to time.

"Look at that one, he has a nice body, but his face is just average." "That one is handsome, but I don't know if he can work." "I like that one, although he is a little young, his eyes are really charming. If I keep him for another two years, he will probably be fine."

Yan Lili and the other two stood in the crowd. Their eyes swept over the young man in the golden cage, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in their hearts.

A trace of anger flashed in Xiaoyue's eyes, and she whispered, "Sister Lili, are we really going to watch them being auctioned off?"

Yan Lili frowned and finally sighed: "The way of heaven is ruthless. Even if we save them, what will happen? We still cannot change the general trend of this world. As long as the world here does not perish, there will continue to be people being auctioned off as toys in the future."

Xiaoyue bit her red lips tightly: "But...but they are so pitiful!"

Yan Lili said: "Since ancient times, women have been tortured by men, sold or humiliated. Now it is the turn of men to be sold as dolls. Humph! Don't get involved in these things. Let's just watch!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie lowered his head. In an instant, he felt as if he was being stared at by countless eyes around him and did not dare to breathe loudly.
