Chapter 76: Rabbit-Eared Girl, Too Expensive to Buy

Tian Dou City Auction House

Speaking of which, this place is Bai Ran's first time visiting.

It's not that Bai Ran lacks financial means,

but simply that she feels there's nothing worth buying.

But now that she's come, not going in to take a look would be hard to justify.

With Ning Rongrong's wealth as a little rich lady, although it's not enough to get a VIP private box like her father, it's enough to become a red-tier VIP, being seated in the comfortable VIP seats at the back.

"Bai Ran, does it look good?"

Seeing Bai Ran keep staring at the service girl responsible for reception, Ning Rongrong asked with a fake smile.

"So-so."

Just like in her previous life when she saw the eighty-eighth technician, Bai Ran was merely curious why these girls' attire was so cool.

"If you want it, you can bid on it later; a few tens of thousands of gold soul coins will be enough."

In this kind of auction house, one could say that besides the VIPs seated, anything can be auctioned off, including the service staff inside the auction house, even the auctioneers on the stage.

As long as the bid satisfies the organizer, you can take it home.

"Zun dou jia dou?"

Bai Ran suddenly had a bold idea.

"Dou your head, dou, it's not Bai Ran, you dare want something like that?"

Girls of this age in such auction houses are almost all cultivated by the organizers from a young age; they are like walking corpses, fundamentally lacking self-awareness.

Even saying that, in order to better please big clients, they have practiced many techniques.

I am a farm owner, this is a chicken.

"A gambling dad, a sick mom, a dropout little brother, her broken self."

"Come to think of it, why do I feel sorry for her for no reason?"

Among the standard answers, Bai Ran spoke the most reasonable one.

As for the so-called "If I don't help her, who will?"

That's literally tens of thousands of gold soul coins; the cultivation resources for a Soul Saint over half a year amount to that.

A low-rank Soul Master wanting to earn that amount would likely have to struggle half a lifetime and still might not manage it.

Quoting the famous big spender Liu Huaqiang: "Holy shit, bro, is your b inlaid with gold or silver? So expensive? Besides, wasting so many soul coins just to put a lock on a bus—only to say, even a pure love warrior would collapse."

"Not bro, where's the promised catgirl?"

As the auction began, items came out one after another.

During it, Bai Ran snapped up a five-hundred-year-old rare medicinal herb, spending less than ten thousand gold soul coins.

However, as this auction was about to end, Bai Ran still hadn't seen her target, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

We said we'd bring the brothers out to see catgirls; now, where are the catgirls?

If you can't see them, bro, you'll have to become a catgirl when we go back.

Ning Rongrong:??? Human words?

"Bai Ran, I know you're anxious, but don't rush yet."

"Those beast-ear slave girls favored by noble lords usually appear as the finale."

Ning Rongrong looked calm on the surface, but inside she was quite uncertain.

Because she had only come a few times with her dad, and coincidentally those times featured auctions of beastified slave girls, this little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect naturally assumed every auction should have such beastified slave girls.

"The upcoming auction item is the finale of this auction, and also the item most anticipated by all the big lords."

Just then, the auction house's auctioneer pushed the final item out from behind the stage.

All that could be seen was a relatively large cage covered by a black cloth, preventing anyone from seeing inside.

However, when this auction item was pushed out, many VIPs at the auction stood up from their seats, their gazes at the cage filled with greed.

Exactly, it's greed.

It seems the auction house's organizers were lucky, managing to capture another beastified girl in such a short time. Seeing the frenzy of the surrounding middle-aged noble men,

Bai Ran furrowed her brows.

Unlike those nobles indulging in carnal desires, Bai Ran's interest in the beastified girl is more curiosity.

By the way, just to add: furry fan, steamed goose heart.

"That's right, this auction's beastified girl is a rabbit-eared girl; this thirteen-year-old girl, upon awakening the Pliant Bone Charming Rabbit martial soul, underwent a mutation, retaining most of the Pliant Bone Charming Rabbit's traits."

As the auctioneer lifted the black cloth covering the cage,

the beastified girl inside the cage was fully exposed to the eyes of the guests present.

"It's actually a rabbit-eared girl!"

"It's said that girls with the Pliant Bone Charming Rabbit martial soul have bodies especially soft, even their bones are brittle; this girl should be the same, right?"

"I'm taking this rabbit-eared girl; who agrees, who opposes!"

For a moment, the auction house, which had been somewhat quiet, instantly boiled over.

Many capable nobles had their stewards go home to fetch money, lest the upcoming auction funds fall short.

The rabbit-eared girl inside the cage had never received such treatment before; especially those aggressive gazes from all directions made this timid "rabbit" curl up in the cage, trembling.

Next is the rabbit-eared girl's auction price: starting bid 100,000 gold soul coins, each raise not less than 5,000 gold soul coins.

"Bai Ran, aren't you going to bid?"

In just five minutes, the bunny-eared girl's price had already been driven up to 200,000 gold soul coins.

This price is considerably higher than the usual catgirl's price.

Perhaps because catgirls are common while bunny-eared girls are rare, the competition among the noble lords is so fierce.

However, upon seeing Bai Ran seated with no intention to bid, Ning Rongrong didn't know whether to be happy or not.

"Not bidding, too expensive."

That's a full 200,000 gold soul coins, after all.

Moreover, judging by the situation, the final price might stay around 250,000 gold soul coins.

Do you know what 250,000 gold soul coins signifies?

Even if Shrek Academy in the original story had such a sum, they wouldn't come up with the shameless 'borrowing a hen to lay eggs' scheme.

The so-called 'borrowing a hen to lay eggs', put nicely as 'mutual benefit', is actually just living off others' patronage.

Fortunately, in the original story, the useless prince Xue Beng's interference prevented it from happening; if it had, I wouldn't dare imagine how stifled my life as Tang Shenwang would be.

"You really aren't bidding? This young lady doesn't lack these gold soul coins."

As the Young Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, let alone a few hundred thousand gold soul coins, even taking out several million would be no problem.

Ning Rongrong: Buddy, don't even think about challenging my pocket money with your savings.

"No, what's the use of buying her back? To warm my bed?"

Such a slave girl without self-awareness was a slave before, and will remain a slave afterward.

Under a feudal society where ideology and institutions haven't changed, can we expect such slaves to awaken?

To put it bluntly, such women don't even have the qualification to become female boxers.

After all, the cowardice ingrained in her bones prevents her from doing anything against her master's wishes.

She's pitiful, but there's no way to sympathize.

All I can say is, this damn noble rule and man-eating feudal society.
