She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 291 - : Golden Auction

Chapter 291: Golden Auction

Before dawn, Lin Jiansheng bade farewell. He said to Yu Huang, “Since we’re going to Broken Cliff, I have to make some preparations. We’ll meet at the auction.”

“Okay.”

Not long after Lin Jiansheng left, the hotel manager knocked on Sheng Xiao’s door with the invitation from the Night Hunt’s boss.

Sheng Xiao opened the door and met the general manager of Carlton Hotel.

It was a man in a navy blue suit. He was very tall and muscular. His shoulders were broad and his gaze was sharp. He did not look like a businessman, but like a hitman.

Naturally, none of the people who could establish themselves in the Rakshasa Empire were good people.

“Supreme Master Sheng, Master Yu, my lord has heard that the two of you have arrived in Rakshasa Empire. Coincidentally, the October auction is about to begin, and I was specially sent to send you two VIP invitations.”

The manager was wearing a pair of black gloves and holding a large box.

Sheng Xiao took the big box. “Thank you. We will be there on time.”

“I wish you both a pleasant trip. Goodbye.” The manager sent the invitation to Sheng Xiao and left.

Sheng Xiao closed the door and opened the wooden box. There was an envelope, two faceless masks, and two dark red hooded robes inside.

He opened the envelope and pulled out a dark red invitation.

The design of the invitation was clear at a glance. On the dark red invitation letter was a golden hammer with the words “Golden Auction” written below.

Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s names were on the invitation.

Yu Huang took out the faceless mask from the box and sized it up before putting it on. This mask was made very well. It could adjust itself according to the size of the user’s face.

Yu Huang adjusted the size of the mask. Instantly, only her two eyes were exposed. Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, “Why did the Night Hunter Organization prepare masks and clothes for us?”

“You’re so smart, so how could you not guess it?”

Yu Huang immediately said, “Protect our privacy and prevent the treasure we have from being s.n.a.t.c.hed away?”

“Yes.” Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “Only the highest bidder can get the treasure at the auction. But if we leave the auction, those who are capable will get it. IIf we wear a mask and a long robe, we can conceal our ident.i.ties to a certain extent.”

“They’re quite considerate.”

…

The golden auction was different from ordinary auctions. It would not release the auction item introduction book in advance. Only those who had partic.i.p.ated in the auction knew what was being auctioned.

The next morning, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao put on their masks, hooded robes, and hoods. The two of them took the hotel’s car to Golden Cathedral to attend the auction.

A long time ago, the Golden Cathedral was the building where the Rakshasa Empire’s royal family held their coronation ceremonies and important events. But now, it had become the venue for the Golden Auction.

After arriving at their destination, the two of them were in no hurry to get off the car.

Sitting in the car, Yu Huang lowered the window and saw many red-robed Beast Tamers. These people came from all over the world and were all powerful figures.

“Huh? There’s people from the Beast Clan.” Yu Huang saw some beastmen and dwarves. These people had different appearances, and their long robes were unable to cover their physical characteristics.

But they still put on their robes and masks to hide their faces.

Yu Huang also saw a few elves, including Upper Cla.s.s Elves and Night Elves. Yu Huang even saw Donor in the crowd at a glance. Donor relied on his distinguished ident.i.ty and did not deliberately hide his ident.i.ty.

Although he wore a hooded robe and a mask, his overly s.h.i.+ning golden hair and n.o.ble aura still made Yu Huang recognize him at a glance.

Sheng Xiao also recognized Donor. He said, “The two people beside him should be Grand Masters.” Since he was protected by Grand Masters, he did not have to worry about being robbed.

Ten minutes before the auction started, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao got out of the car and walked into the church.

The two of them held VIP invitations. As soon as they entered the venue, a female attendant in a dark red dress brought them to their seats.

The Golden Cathedral was a circular building. The guests partic.i.p.ating in the auction sat around the circular audience seats. The auction stage was set on the highest platform in the center of the first floor.

A huge LED screen was circled above the guests. After the auction started, all the auction items would be magnified and projected on the LED screen for the guests to watch.

District A was the VIP seats. There were the fewest guests in District A and they had the highest status.

Prince Donor sat in District A with Sheng Xiao and the others. His seat was diagonally in front of Yu Huang. Donor kept his wings and leaned against the back of his chair. He looked a little sullen.

Everyone was wearing masks and robes. Donor did not recognize Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao.

Yu Huang glanced at the audience seats in Zone X and recognized Lin Jiansheng at one glance. “Mentor is here too.”

The reason why they could accurately locate Lin Jiansheng was because District X was the most remote and cheapest region of the venue.

Sheng Xiao looked at Lin Jiansheng. Coincidentally, Lin Jiansheng was looking for them too. Their eyes met and they recognized each other.

Sheng Xiao nodded at Lin Jiansheng, and so did Lin Jiansheng.

The lights suddenly dimmed, and the noisy auction hall instantly fell silent.

A beauty walked up to the auction stage. She was wearing a dark red high slit dress, and her red curly hair fell to her waist. Her long dress was s.e.xy, and the waist of the dress was cut into a diamond shape.

Under the dim light, the skin on her waist was extremely fair, and anyone who saw it would want to kiss her.

She was a seductive beauty. Her every frown and smile was charming.

Sheng Xiao heard Yu Huang exclaiming, “She’s so d.a.m.n beautiful.”

Sheng Xiao was speechless.

Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “She is Hong Luan, a famous abbot in the cultivation world. She is a woman of the Snake Clan.”

“What about her tail?”

“She’s a Grand Master. A Snake Clan Grand Master can have human’s legs.”

Yu Huang stared at Hong Luan’s thin waist and long legs and said enviously, “If I were a man, I would definitely get her.”

Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “Hong Luan is auxiliary beast tamer. She practices charm techniques, just like Feng Yuncheng. Don’t make eye contact with this woman. Otherwise, you will be mesmerized by her.”

The moment she heard that Hong Luan cultivated a charm technique, Yu Huang immediately averted her gaze and did not dare to look Hong Luan in the eye. She was afraid that once she was bewitched by Hong Luan, she would give up all her a.s.sets.

Hong Luan smiled and bowed in all four directions. Her bent waist revealed her exquisite curves. Yu Huang heard many men gasp.

However, Yu Huang found that Sheng Xiao did not react. She asked him, “Why didn’t you react? I was so mesmerized when I saw her, even as a woman.”

Sheng Xiao explained, “Hong Luan is nothing compared to my mother.”

At the thought of how charming Madam Sheng was, Yu Huang looked at Hong Luan and felt that she was tacky and promiscuous. “You’re right.”

Hong Luan picked up the microphone and her gentle voice sounded—

“Welcome to the annual Golden Auction. We meet again.”

Her voice was charming and moving, and it made one’s heart flutter.

Hong Luan was the fixed host of the Golden Auction. With her hosting the auction, the atmosphere was always especially lively.

“Tonight is a grand feast. There will be many peerless treasures to meet with all of you. You have to grab your wallets tightly.”

Everyone roared with laughter.

“Hahaha! Hong Luan, if you’re capable, come and get it! I’m willing to let you squeeze every cent out of me!”

This person’s words were coa.r.s.e and vulgar, but Hong Luan was not angry. She only winked at the person who spoke, and the man stood up foolishly. He took the initiative to take off his interspatial ring and threw it to Hong Luan.

Hong Luan grabbed the interspatial ring and bowed elegantly to the man. She said innocently, “Thank you for your gift, sir.” She only needed to look at these men for them to hand everything to her.

Everyone fell silent.

Clearly, they had underestimated Hong Luan’s charm technique.

This woman was too dangerous!

Realizing how dangerous Hong Luan was, the men stopped teasing her. They were afraid that they would be scammed by Hong Luan and end up with nothing.

The man from before also came to his senses. He discovered that he had actually given the interspatial ring to Hong Luan uncontrollably. His face under the mask turned pale.

When Yu Huang saw this, she cursed silently, “Serves him right!”
