The procedures they mentioned were not complicated; it was just a matter of applying for a gold coin savings card.
The starting bid of one million gold coins had already been deposited into this card in advance, and the remaining balance would be paid upon the completion of the auction.
Auctions here were held all day, but the rare item sessions were only held for one hour in the evening. Ye Qiu's head Spirit Bone was certainly a rare item.
As it was still early, Ye Qiu received the savings card and the emblem representing his identity, then was led to the waiting room. The guiding girl had also left.
"Smack~" As soon as Xiao Lan saw the fruit inside, she started eating, her crescent-like eyes narrowed. "So sweet! Brother, you eat some too."
"Eat less, don't get bloated again!" Ye Qiu looked at her speechlessly. She always ate so much, yet her spirit power didn't increase. It seemed the energy consumed from staying outside was quite significant.
Shaking his head helplessly, he quietly waited for night to fall.
…
"Knock, knock!" A knock sounded at the door.
"Young Master, it's time!" A girl's voice came from outside the door.
"Xiao Lan, it's time to go~"
"Coming, coming!"
Looking at her actions, several black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead. "They've refilled it several times, and you still haven't had enough?"
Xiao Lan was holding a fruit plate piled high with fruit. "Uh~ I want to take this with me to eat. What if I get hungry later?"
Ye Qiu's eye twitched. Who just burped?
"Let's go, let's go~" There was nothing he could do. If he didn't pamper her, who would?
"Please follow me, this way~"
The girl leading the way was quite professional. Seeing Xiao Lan, who had a bulging belly, holding a large plate of fruit, she remained expressionless. Every dozen steps, she would stop and point out the direction again.
Xiao Lan obediently followed him. When they reached the entrance of the inner hall, the guiding girl left. When she turned around, Ye Qiu felt she must have been covering her mouth and snickering.
He knelt down to wipe her juice-stained little face and put the mask prepared by the auction house on Xiao Lan.
"Don't talk nonsense once we go in!"
"Mm-hmm, ah-woo, munch, munch~" She took a moment to nod at Ye Qiu, her movements of stuffing food into her mouth never stopping.
Sighing and pinching his forehead, Ye Qiu also put on his mask, pinned the red emblem to his chest, and led Xiao Lan inside.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Ye Qiu was almost blinded.
All the waitresses inside were female, and compared to the girls responsible for greeting guests outside, their figures were even more curvaceous.
Although they all wore white, these waitresses wore hip-hugging short skirts, revealing their lotus-root-like arms, with their chests wide open, and the skirt hem barely covering their waists by a few inches.
Their fair, long legs moved back and forth like a continuous half-moon.
It made Ye Qiu, an honest man, unsure whether to look or not. After all, he was still a normal man. How could one be tested like this?
"Young Master~"
As soon as Ye Qiu entered, a curvaceous waitress walked up to him, her smile as radiant as a flower, her enthusiasm like fire. She immediately embraced Ye Qiu's arm.
"The red VIP area is this way, please follow me~" She leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her breath like orchids, her voice filled with charm.
"Ah, good, good." Feeling the pressure on his arm, Ye Qiu was somewhat incoherent.
"Brother~ Brother, wait for Xiao Lan!" Xiao Lan, carrying the fruit plate, chased after Ye Qiu.
The entire auction house was like a Roman Colosseum, with the auction stage at the very bottom center. Closest to the auction stage was the red VIP area, followed by black, purple, yellow, and white.
The red area had the fewest seats, representing millions in wealth, while the white area had the most seats, where items with a starting bid of one thousand gold coins could be consigned.
The sexy waitress led Ye Qiu to his seat. After serving him and helping him sit down, she bent over, revealing a glimpse of white, and leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her warm breath caressing his face. "Young Master! You can find me for anything~ Anything at all~ *Hoo!*"
"Cough, cough~ No, no, no, I have nothing to ask for!" Ye Qiu's face flushed, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head.
The woman left with a smile, having not seen such an interesting man in a long time.
"Brother~ Why did you walk so fast? I thought you didn't want Xiao Lan anymore~" At this point, Xiao Lan finally caught up to Ye Qiu.
"How could that be? That older sister was pulling me just now." Ye Qiu's face was still a bit red, but thankfully, the mask on his face covered half of it.
Xiao Lan handed the fruit plate to Ye Qiu, then sat on Ye Qiu's lap. "I don't care, I want Brother to feed me!"
"Alright!" Ye Qiu nodded. She also put her hand on Ye Qiu's forehead and wiped his sweat.
"Haha. Can't handle this already? What a rookie!"
A discordant voice came from the seat next to Ye Qiu.
The surroundings were relatively spacious, with only the seat next to Ye Qiu occupied.
Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan both looked over. The speaker was a young girl, not very old, and her simple white dress gave her a clean impression.
She had green eyes, brown hair, smooth skin, delicate features, and a gentle, noble demeanor, but her words were completely inconsistent with her temperament.
She was sitting on the lap of a middle-aged man, who looked very gentle and gave off the impression of a refined gentleman.
Strangely, neither of them wore masks, nor did they have emblems proving their VIP status.
Xiao Lan glared at her, swallowing the food in her mouth. "Grumble… What did you say! Brother is not a rookie!"
"Then he's an old bird, huh?" The girl opposite him had a playful, triumphant look, as if she had found a fun new toy.
"Nonsense, Brother is not a bird!"
"Isn't he? I don't think he has one, do you?"
"How could Brother possibly have… *Mmmf!*"
Ye Qiu quickly covered Xiao Lan's mouth, looking at the girl in front of him in surprise. Are all girls in the city like this? She looked like she had received a high-class education, but her words were so vulgar.
"What are you looking at! You little…"
"Cough, cough! Alright, if you keep this up, I won't take you out next time!" Seeing that the girl was about to utter more outrageous words, the middle-aged man couldn't sit still either. He lightly patted her head, interrupting her.
"I know~ Dad! Hmph~" The girl snorted, then glared at Ye Qiu again, her spoiled nature evident.
Regarding his daughter's behavior, the middle-aged man only smiled dotingly. He turned back and nodded at Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan, his voice gentle and pleasant, like a spring breeze. "My apologies, young brother, my daughter is a bit mischievous!"
"It's nothing." Ye Qiu shook his head; it was just a small quarrel.
A flicker of surprise passed through the middle-aged man's eyes. He possessed a special Spirit Ability that allowed him to roughly discern others' spirit power levels, but he couldn't discern the spirit power of the brother and sister beside him.
"Hmph~ Dad, why are you speaking ill of me again! I'm not talking to you anymore!" His daughter's complaint interrupted his thoughts.
He gave a wry smile, "Hehe… Alright! Just buy whatever you fancy later!"
These outrageously extravagant words made Ye Qiu glance sideways involuntarily.
"You said it! Don't regret it later~" The girl's mischievous eyes darted around. Feeling Ye Qiu's gaze, she curled her lips in disdain.
"Brother~ Let's eat fruit, ignore that bad older sister~" Xiao Lan turned Ye Qiu's face, brought a fruit to his mouth, and didn't forget to huffily glance at the girl.
"You're the bad one! You little runt!"
"You're so big and still sitting on your dad's lap, you're a little runt too."
"Hmph!" x2
The two little girls, one big and one small, their gazes collided. Both snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
Noticing the middle-aged man's gaze, Ye Qiu smiled politely.
Ye Qiu took the fruit Xiao Lan offered him, and with a chuckle, pinched her little face.
A younger sister, indeed, is very thoughtful!
