Chapter 51: A transaction of interests, those who know, know
"I didn't expect White Yaksha to actually make a move."
At the edge of the crowd, Prithivi, who had originally been quietly watching this farce, looked at White Yaksha with a touch of emotion.
"Perseus is going to lose a layer of skin this time, even if they don't end up dead."
"Prithivi, did you notice something?"
Beside Prithivi, Sarah frowned, a conflicted expression appearing on her face.
"Why do I feel like something isn't right?"
"Whether it's the leader of Perseus or the leader of the 'No Name', they both seem a bit abnormal."
Prithivi glanced at Sarah: "Still too young."
Feeling like something isn't right?
Does that even need to be felt? It is definitely not right.
Not to mention the series of brain-dead operations from before, just that wave of Lu Lu Aosi talking back to White Yaksha at the end is enough to confirm there's a problem.
Who is White Yaksha?
One of the oldest Star Spirits in Little Garden, the White Yaksha King who ranked in the top ten of Little Garden during her peak.
Even now, with her spirit status self-sealed, she remains the strongest Floor Master.
She can take down a Demon Lord with a single punch; her strength is beyond doubt.
Given her reputation and power, once she speaks, it signifies the characterization of the incident.
Under such a premise, Lu Lu Aosi still dared to talk back to White Yaksha.
This is no longer a matter of not having a good brain; it's that the brain is completely broken.
"I was wondering why White Yaksha was playing favorites at the beginning."
Prithivi looked toward the auction stage, where Lin Que was chatting with Leticia.
There is no need to say who played dirty against Lu Lu Aosi; it was definitely this guy, no doubt about it.
White Yaksha must have seen this too, which is why she gave Lu Lu Aosi a step down at the start.
It's just a pity that Lu Lu Aosi, whose brain is already broken, wouldn't take that step at all, and instead went to talk back to White Yaksha.
Even for the sake of her own face, White Yaksha cannot give the other party another chance this time.
"Interesting. It seems this new leader of the 'No Name' is a guy with a very nasty personality." ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
"Lin Que, isn't what you did a bit too much?"
In the backstage of the auction, Leticia, who knew the truth of the matter better than Prithivi, spoke up.
"Actually, there was no need to provoke that guy so much; you could have just bid normally."
Provoking Lu Lu Aosi is a small matter; dragging White Yaksha into it is the real trouble.
"Leticia, you can't just say things like that; I have been bidding normally the whole time."
Lin Que raised an eyebrow and looked at White Yaksha, who had suddenly appeared not far away.
"The fair and just Lady White Yaksha must have seen it too, right?"
"I was just placing a normal bid; it was the other party who actively looked for trouble."
"Whether it was Lu Lu Aosi looking for trouble, you know better than me."
White Yaksha narrowed her eyes as she looked at Lin Que: "The Water of Seven Emotions and Six Desires you bought from me, it works well, right?"
"Yeah, the effect is awesome!"
Lin Que gave a thumbs up: "After I drank it, I couldn't get out of bed for days."
"Hmph! You went too far this time!"
White Yaksha ignored Lin Que's deflection: "Not planning to give me an explanation?"
"Why do you seem so serious?"
Lin Que looked at White Yaksha in confusion: "A mere Lu Lu Aosi shouldn't count for much in this Little Garden, right?"
White Yaksha curled her lip: "Lu Lu Aosi naturally doesn't count for much, but the fact that you schemed against me makes me very unhappy."
"Oh~ so that's what you care about!"
Lin Que tapped his left hand with his right, putting on an expression of sudden realization.
Leaning quietly toward White Yaksha, he pointed at Leticia and negotiated in a low voice.
"I'll take ten photos of Leticia in a maid outfit for you later; how about we call this debt even?"
"Hmph! What do you take me for!"
"You choose the outfit, as long as it's not too exaggerated."
"Hmm... let me consider it for a moment."
"I'll throw in three photos of Black Rabbit, you choose the outfits for those too."
"Deal!"
White Yaksha laughed instantly: "Considering our relationship, I'll spare you for this time."
"Remember not to have a next time, otherwise I won't let you off so easily."
Lin Que hesitated: "How about we discuss the payment for next time now?"
White Yaksha: "?"
Could this kid's real goal be to fight her?
After causing a commotion, Lin Que naturally couldn't stay at the auction any longer.
To prevent further accidents, White Yaksha decisively chose to kick them out, letting Lin Que and the now-auctioned Leticia go home.
As for the bill of up to 1 million gold coins, she sent it directly to the territory of the Queen of Halloween.
Walking out of the auction and looking at the familiar scenery outside, Leticia couldn't help but feel a sense of trance.
She had clearly prepared herself to be auctioned off to someone else and never see her former companions again.
She didn't expect that in less than a month, everything would be reversed.
Silently turning her head, Leticia looked at Lin Que.
"Is this... a miracle?"
She thought of what White Yaksha had said to her a month ago.
The invitation letter that summoned Lin Que had been endowed with the concept of a 'miracle'.
"A miracle?"
Hearing Leticia's muttering, Lin Que looked over.
"Isn't this just a very simple little thing? It's not worth elevating to the level of a miracle."
"For me, it's no different from a miracle."
Leticia smiled and asked curiously: "Lin Que, what did you just say to Lady White Yaksha?"
She was clearly furious a second ago, yet the next second she started laughing; it was the first time she had seen White Yaksha be so easy to talk to.
"Cough~ just some simple exchange of interests."
Lin Que coughed and replied righteously: "As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
"White Yaksha was angry because she lost face."
"As long as you give enough benefits for her to regain her face, she will naturally stop being angry."
Leticia nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is."
Although she still felt something was a bit strange, it did make sense this way.
"Alright, don't worry about such things anymore."
Lin Que patted Leticia's little head, diverting her attention.
"Let's go back to 'No Name'; Black Rabbit has been waiting for a long time."
"Mm." ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
