Chapter 98

"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 Pṛthivī, spoke up.

"Actually, there was no need to provoke that guy so much; normal bidding would have been fine."

Provoking Lu Aosi is a small matter; dragging Bai Zai into it is the real trouble.

"Leticia, you can't just say things like that; I have always been bidding normally."

Lin Que raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Zai, who had suddenly appeared not far away.

"The fair and just Lord Bai Zai should have seen it all, right?"

"I was just making a normal bid; it was the other party who took the initiative to look for trouble."

"Whether it was Lu Aosi looking for trouble, you know better than me."

Bai Zai squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Que: "The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Water you bought from me, is it easy to use?"

"Yes, the effect is great!"

Lin Que raised a thumb: "After I drank it, I didn't get out of bed for several days."

"Hmph! You went too far this time!"

Bai Zai ignored Lin Que's digression: "Not prepared to give me an explanation?"

"Why do you seem so serious?"

Lin Que looked at Bai Zai in confusion: "A mere Lu Aosi shouldn't count for much in this Garden, right?"

Bai Zai curled his lips: "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, making an expression of sudden realization.

Quietly leaning over to Bai Zai's side, 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 it even?"

"Hmph! What do you take me for!"

"You choose the clothes, as long as they aren't too exaggerated."

"Hmm... let me think about it for a bit."

"I'll throw in three photos of Black Rabbit, you choose the outfits for those too."

"Deal!"

Bai Zai laughed all of a sudden: "Considering our relationship, I'll let you off for now this time."

"Remember not to have a next time, otherwise I won't let you off so easily."

Lin Que hesitated for a moment: "Why don't we discuss the reward for next time first."

Bai Zai: "?"

Could this kid's real purpose be to fight her?

After causing a commotion, Lin Que naturally couldn't stay at the auction any longer.

To prevent further accidents, Bai Zai decisively chose to chase people away, letting Lin Que and Leticia, who had already been auctioned off, go home.

As for that bill of up to 1,000,000 gold coins, she sent someone to deliver it directly to the territory of the 【Halloween Queen】.

Walking out of the auction, looking at the familiar scenery outside, Leticia couldn't help but feel a sense of trance.

Clearly, before this, she had already prepared herself to be auctioned off by others and never see her former companions again.

She didn't expect that in less than a month, everything had reversed.

Silently turning her head, Leticia looked at Lin Que.

"Is this... a miracle?"

She thought of what Bai Zai had said to her a month ago.

The invitation letter that summoned Lin Que was endowed with the concept of a 'miracle'.

"A miracle?"

Hearing Leticia's muttering, Lin Que's gaze looked over.

"Isn't this just a very simple little thing? There's no need to elevate it to the level of a miracle, right?"

"For me, it's no different from a miracle."

Leticia smiled and asked curiously: "Lin Que, what did you just say to Lord Bai Zai?"

Clearly, she was furious in the last second, but in the next second, she started laughing directly; it was the first time she had seen Bai Zai 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."

"Bai Zai was angry because he lost face."

"As long as you give enough benefits for him to regain his face, he will naturally stop being angry."

Leticia nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is."

Although she still felt that something was a bit strange, this way it could indeed be explained.

"Alright, don't worry about such things anymore."

Lin Que touched Leticia's little head, diverting her attention.

"Let's go back to Nameless; Black Rabbit has been waiting for a long time."

"Mm." ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
