The ancient behemoth squatted on the wide booth, blinked at the little assistant in the box with its eyes as big as copper bells, then scratched its ears with its hind legs, and said "oh" out of boredom.

Seeing that Wu Ting finally stopped watching, Fengtang breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned at Tao Tie: "Tao Qingzhi, Lord Wu has spoken, you should hand over the big toon branch quickly."

Taotie quickly changed back to the appearance of a human youth, gentle and handsome, with a bit of evil in his eyes, he patted his stomach and hiccupped, with an innocent expression: "But I already ate it!"

"You!" Fengtang was so angry that her face was crooked.

Seeing that the atmosphere started to become tense again, a slightly familiar voice came from the box in the northeast corner of the third floor: "Hiss, Feng Qi is still asleep, and none of the juniors below can accomplish anything, isn't it just a branch? No matter how big it is, let Taotie compensate you."

Unlike Lin Mian and the others, which is elegant and clean, Hu Yu's box is full of flowers, young and beautiful male and female waiters can sit down and play two tables of mahjong.

"Okay!" Before Fengtang could speak, Tao Qingzhi spoke first with a smile, "But I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring enough money, what do you think should I do?"

"You!" Fengtang felt like she was being tricked, why did you come to an auction without enough money? !

He felt a little regretful in his heart, he shouldn't let the clan elders break that broken branch for a little profit, if this continues, the biggest loss will not be Tao Tie, nor Wu Ting, but their Feng family, and they will let People read the joke in vain.

Fengtang tried her best to suppress her anger, and said stiffly, "Then how much did you bring?"

Tao Qingzhi fumbled in his trouser pocket, and took out a demon coin with a denomination of [-] yuan.

Fengtang felt her blood pressure spike again!

"Tao Qingzhi!" The acting patriarch of the Feng family closed his eyes.

"Hey!"

"Get the fuck out of here!"

"Okay!" Tao Qingzhi patted his butt, then blinked at Lin Mian who had been watching the situation closely in the box on the third floor, and then left the auction swaggeringly.

"Patriarch, are we just going to let that fellow Taotie go?" The subordinates at the side looked at Tao Qingzhi's back and were indignant.

"Why don't you let him eat supper?" Fengtang snorted coldly, lowering her eyes, the cold light in her eyes flashed away.

After a while, he raised his eyes, and the previous gloom had disappeared. He put on a big smile, and said to everyone in the auction booth, "I surprised you all tonight. After the auction, everyone can go to the entrance to exchange the demon coins." Get a souvenir from here as compensation."

Taotie left, and heard that there are souvenirs to take, monsters, look at me, I look at you, and finally sat down hesitantly, after all, the monster market only opened in ten years, the opportunity is rare, if you miss it, you will have to come again Wait ten years.

The host has regained his human form at some point, his colorful big ponytail blown up into a mushroom cloud, and the three-piece suit on his body is also wrinkled, with a lot of bird feathers stuck to it. It is simply a nightmare, two consecutive lots failed to be auctioned, who would believe it?

The host felt uneasy, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly prayed that there would be no new moths in the future, probably his prayer really worked, and the subsequent auction went smoothly.

The Feng family really attached great importance to this demon market, or rather the auction, and collected a lot of good things, such as the perfect and full-bodied bobtail, the deer and Shu fur with many children... and even a small shark. yarn.

The gauze was placed on the wrist of the concierge lady, and the fine-textured gauze was shining like water against the white and smooth skin.

"The mermaid tribe has been in turmoil in recent years due to the issue of ownership of power, and even the production of mermaid yarn has been seriously affected. The Phoenix family has spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to collect this half..."

The host began to talk about selling Amway on stage again, but the scallops have no other function other than good-looking, so most of the bidders are female monsters who love beauty or male monsters who buy back Pomeranian and smile.

"The starting price of Shark Shark is 150 million..." Under the signal of the host, the concierge lady walked around the exhibition stand, constantly changing the lifting posture, showing the beauty of Shark Shark from various angles.

Lin Mian looked at it with interest, but soon after the novelty wore off, he leaned on the railing to watch the monsters bid.

He originally thought that such a flashy thing was only worth the reserve price, but Assistant Lin completely underestimated the banshee's pursuit of beautiful clothes.

"200 million!"

"250 million!"

"300 million!"

……

"What price does the dean think you can get?" Lin Mian asked Wu Ting, who was sitting beside him drinking tea.

"The amount is too small, and the cap is only 800 million. Do you want it?" Assistant Lin asked casually, and Dean Wu answered casually.

That's... 800 million?

The little assistant said that he didn't understand the world of your rich people very well.

He shook his head, this gauze is too luxurious, if you wear it as clothes, you will be the prettiest boy in the crowd... But you can't eat your pretties!

Wu Ting's guess was correct, the final transaction price of half a shark yarn was 780 million demon coins, and the winner was not any banshee, but Hu Yu.

That's right, Nine-Tailed Fox also participated in the auction, and it was the one who made the final decision.

Lin Mian recalled Gouwei's evaluation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord, how can I put it, he is indeed extravagant and extravagant, this may be the life of the great monsters in ancient times. OK……

Lin Mian couldn't help but compare him with Wu Ting, they are both big monsters, and the dean is so low-key that he looks like an ordinary human being.

Resting his chin on his arm, he sneaked a glance at his boss out of the corner of his eye.

Wu Ting's appearance is actually a bit fierce, because his eyebrows and eyes are too sharp, when he doesn't smile, he will look very cold, but he doesn't like to laugh...

"What are you looking at?" The dean had a panoramic view of the little assistant's every move.

I'm looking at you... Lin Mian thought.

But he didn't admit it, and quickly looked away, pretending not to hear, and continued to pay attention to the auction on the display stand, but Wu Ting was unwilling to let him go, so he moved closer and said softly, "I saw you looking at me."

Lin Mian: ...You have seen it all and you still ask me?

Lin Mian glanced at the pheasant spirit in the corner who minimized her sense of presence, and moved her head slightly away from Wu Ting.

His ears were red, and his neck was also a little red. Wu Ting noticed that he was about to blurt out the words that had been held in his heart for almost two months, but the time was wrong and the place was wrong. His lord dean was very sorry.

The auction was still going on, and the prices of several lots in succession were all good, the host secretly wiped off his sweat.

"The following item is very miraculous. It was accidentally obtained by a senior of the Feng family when he traveled through Tanggu more than ten years ago. The elders of the clan have studied it, but unfortunately no one can recognize the origin of this item."

The concierge lady was holding a red lacquer tray in her hand, and a black irregular pebble lay quietly on the snow-white interlining, which looked quite ordinary.

"What is this?"

"It looks like an ordinary pebble to me..."

"Although it comes from Tanggu, I can't feel a trace of aura..."

"Me too."

"Me too."

……

Tanggu is in the middle of the wilderness. Legend has it that it is the place where the sun rises. Before the passage between the human world and the upper realm was completely closed, the three-legged Golden Crow, the sun's real body, lived there, nourished by the aura of the three-legged Golden Crow. A stone can become a spirit, but unfortunately there are no stones except for the endless white sand and the dark forest of dead trees, so it is impossible to become a spirit.

So although the Feng family didn't know what that dark thing was, it was qualified to take a place in the auction just because it was produced by Tanggu.

"Because they don't know the origin of this black stone, the Phoenix family's valuation of it is relatively conservative. The starting price is [-] demon coins, but this does not mean that it is only worth [-]. It may also be that the jewel is covered with dust, and the sword is covered with dust , is waiting for discerning guests to discover its true value!"

The host's spittle was flying all over the place, and the monsters at the auction table were ready to move, but they were all hesitant. I bought a stone for 10 yuan and didn't know what it was for. No matter how I looked at it, I felt that people were stupid and had a lot of money...

Lin Mian stared blankly at the stone being displayed by the concierge, her heart suddenly started beating violently, and her fingers tightened subconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Wu Ting asked immediately after noticing his abnormality.

"That thing..." Lin Mian's eyes showed a trace of confusion, "It seems to be mine."

"Your?" Wu Ting raised his eyebrows.

Lin Mian himself felt that this statement was absurd. The Black Stone came from Tanggu, in the far north, and he had lived for 19 years and had never been out of Sichuan City. How could the Black Stone belong to him?

But just for a moment, Black Stone did give him a sense of familiarity, as if they knew each other a long time ago.

"One hundred thousand can't buy it at a loss and can't be fooled. Just a little bit of demon coins can bring this mysterious stone from Tanggu home..." The host stirred up the emotions in the venue.

"One hundred thousand!" Someone in the auction seat has already started bidding.

"11 million!"

"twelve!"

……

The price rose slowly, and Lin Mian was still hesitating, because he didn't feel that familiar anymore.

"100 million!" Wu Ting's deep voice sounded beside him.

Lin Mian looked at him suddenly: "I'm not sure..."

"Then buy it back and make sure." Wu Ting chuckled.

Lin Mian opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

The normal reaction of ordinary human beings when encountering monsters should be to be nervous, afraid, and run away, but Lin Mian is not. Not only is he not afraid, he can even teach the other party how to behave.

Not only Hu Qiaoqiao, but Gouwei felt that Lin Mian was unusual, even the little assistant himself was aware of this, but just like what Taotie said before, he and Wu Ting could not feel a trace of evil spirit in Lin Mian.

Lin Mian had a premonition that this ordinary stone might be able to tell him the answer...

Wu Ting's voice was very distinctive, and almost everyone knew that he had paid the price when he spoke. The monsters who were still skeptical about the stone were now staring at the tray with bright eyes.

Can Master Wu's fancy things be Fanpin?

Even Fengtang in the monitoring room was hesitant. He and several respected clan elders had appraised it, and there was really no aura on the pebble. Was the starting price set low?

Patriarch Feng began to regret it.

Although all the monsters were in high spirits, none of them really dared to bargain with Wu Ting, mainly because everyone still wanted to see the sun tomorrow.

No bids were made, the host knocked on the auction gavel, and the concierge sent the black stone to the box along with the things and packaging.

The black stone was placed in a carved box made of agarwood, with smooth tentacles and irregular patterns on the surface, slightly cool, but it was indeed very ordinary.

Lin Mian picked it up in disbelief, looked left and right at the light, and even stuck it on her forehead...

half an hour.

It's over, it seems that I really bought a pebble for 100 million!

Assistant Lin cracked open.

The author has something to say:

In the private room, Miss Pheasant Jing, who watched her eyes, nose, nose and heart, silently ate dog food: The sour smell of love is everywhere...
