Chapter 16: The Ghost King's Auctioneer
Guishi, as a place where strange people can trade various items, its existence is extremely mysterious and no one knows who founded it.
But there are ghost markets in almost every city.
In the strange market, all transactions are tacitly permitted.
But at the same time, everyone who enters the Ghost City, whether human or monster, must abide by the rules here.
"As for the detailed rules, no one knows, but the best way is to exercise restraint. The power of market regulators is beyond your and my imagination."
"Once, two ghost kings thought they were powerful and teamed up to grab the prize at an auction. As a result, they were killed on the spot by the market manager."
At this moment, Mo Ling, wearing an exquisite black dress, was holding Ye Ling's hand and strolling on the brightly lit streets of Gui City.
"Two ghost kings were killed on the spot?"
Ye Ling was also a little surprised.
“Yes, I was there at the time.”
"But no one present could see the market manager's actions clearly, and the two ghost kings exploded and died on the spot."
"To be precise, we don't even know what the manager looks like."
Mo Ling said in a deep voice.
That existence was far beyond their understanding.
You still need to improve your strength as soon as possible, otherwise you won’t even be able to protect yourself in this world.
Listening to Mo Ling's narration, Ye Ling also said secretly in his heart.
After all, even powerful ghost kings like Mo Ling are at risk of being wiped out.
Perhaps everything he has seen now is not even the tip of the iceberg of this world.
"But none of that matters anymore. Being with my baby is the most important thing in my life."
Mo Ling raised her head slightly, a smile on her lips, and spoke softly.
"Me too, honey."
Ye Ling smiled and nodded.
However, the surrounding scene is a bit of an eyesore.
At this moment, the streets are full of strange and bizarre creatures.
A giant, floating, walking eyeball covered in tentacles.
A faceless man in a suit, half skeleton and half flesh.
A beautiful female ghost in revealing clothes, holding a screaming head in her hand.
A very fast crawling spider with a crying baby face.
A giant skeleton, taller than a mountain and covered in maggots, was walking slowly.
On the huge spherical tumor that was rolling forward and emitting a foul odor, eyeballs were constantly being generated and exploded, leaving pools of thick purple liquid on the ground.
Compared to these weird and ugly things with strange shapes, a peerless beauty like Mo Ling is simply like an angel.
Perhaps because they were afraid of the powerful aura emanating from Mo Ling, these ugly and weird creatures were trying to stay away from the two of them as much as possible.
"arrive."
Suddenly, Mo Ling also stopped.
Beside the two of them, a magnificent building seemed to appear suddenly.
On the plaque on the gate, the five big characters "Huangquan Auction House" are extremely eye-catching.
"Welcome two distinguished guests. Do you have a ticket to the Huangquan Auction House?"
At the gate, two beautiful women wearing red cheongsams and fox masks bowed and saluted respectfully.
Seeing this, Mo Ling raised his hand gently, and a black card floated in the air.
Just one glance and the two beauties broke out in cold sweats.
This is actually the most prestigious black card in Huangquan Auction House.
Legend has it that only guests who spend more than one billion Nether Stones at the Huangquan Auction House have the opportunity to obtain this card.
It is said that no more than ten of these black cards will be issued, making them a limited edition.
Its rarity can be seen from this.
At the moment when the mysterious black card suddenly appeared, an extremely powerful and heart-pounding aura also descended like a surging tide at that moment.
Judging from the strength of this aura, it was obvious that this was a terrifying ghost who had reached the level of a ghost king. It was a pale white ghost flame with a weird feeling.
As everyone was staring in astonishment, a graceful and swaying figure actually walked out very slowly from the pale white ghost flame.
It was a beautiful female ghost in a white cheongsam. On the surface of the extremely luxurious cheongsam, there were intricate dark patterns carefully outlined with gold thread, which flashed a mysterious light in the dim light.
"My name is Xue Fei, and I am the person in charge of this Huangquan Auction Venue. I didn't know you two distinguished guests were coming. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you!"
Xue Fei held the black card in both hands and handed it back to Mo Ling respectfully.
"There's no need to say more if you're polite."
Mo Ling took the black card and shook it gently, and the card disappeared from his palm in an instant.
"Xue Fei understands!"
"Come here, vacate the box with the best view for these two distinguished guests."
Concubine Xue immediately gave an order to the maid beside her.
"Yes, sir!!!"
The two maids nodded.
"Two distinguished guests, please come this way!"
Then, the two maids turned to Mo Ling and Ye Ling and invited them.
Led by two maids, they soon arrived at a luxuriously decorated, antique room.
The window is open, allowing a clear view of the auction venue below.
By the window stands a solid wood coffee table made of golden nanmu, which is filled with various exquisite pastries.
"Please take your seats, two distinguished guests."
"What would you like to drink, please?"
The maid asked.
"Baby, you choose. I'm fine with either."
Mo Ling looked at Ye Ling.
"Just ordinary Longjing will be fine."
Ye Ling said casually.
"Okay, distinguished guest!"
The maid nodded.
Not long after, two maids brought the precious hundred-year-old Longjing tea, knelt beside Mo Ling and Ye Ling and started to make tea.
The service was so meticulous that Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed.
However, their main purpose of coming here today was not to enjoy the service, but to participate in the auction.
At this moment, the auction seats in the venue downstairs were gradually filled with people.
To be precise, it is a strange human shape.
Compared to the strange and bizarre creatures on the streets outside, these in front of me are more pleasing to the eye.
The aura on them is generally much stronger than those small fry outside, and there are even a few extremely powerful ghosts among them.
That's when.
A beautiful figure also slowly walked out of the shadows and onto the auction stage.
This person was none other than Xue Fei, the person in charge of the auction venue whom Ye Ling and his friends had met before.
"is her?"
Ye Ling was slightly surprised.
"Baby, don't be too surprised. Generally speaking, in many cases, only an auctioneer with strong strength can truly keep the scene stable and calm."
“Even if it’s not needed in this place, it can’t be without.”
Mo Ling smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded in agreement.
