7. Chapter 7
Although not ready to participate in the first auction, it is also good to have a long experience.
The quality of the auction items this time seems to be very good, and the participants in the surrounding stands responded enthusiastically. Even the brothers Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan, who had no interest at all, gradually became emotional and made a lemon-like sound from time to time.
Ruan Shiqing sat up straight, watching one auction item after another being sent to the exhibition stand, and being auctioned at a high price in the host's fierce and high-pitched tone, he couldn't help feeling that the gap between the rich and the poor on this planet is too huge - the first The auction items in an auction are very expensive, and it is a game for the rich.
"Next, a special item will be auctioned. The guests who followed our auction ahead of time must have known what I was talking about, but I will say it is... She is far more amazing than you think."
The host looked around, satiated his appetite, and finally said: "Next, our finale auction items will be exhibited—"
"A nine-tailed fox cub, the gender is female, and... not protected by the nine-tailed fox protection regulations."
"The starting price, 100,000 stars!"
After the words fell, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and a beam of starlight fell from top to bottom, covering the center of the booth. At the same time, a crystal cage with a unique shape, clothed with stars, slowly rose from the ground.
In the crystal cage, a little fox with crimson fur like fire shook its ten flaming tails and roared fiercely at the spectators.
It's just that she was too young, and that subtle roar was quickly drowned out by the exclamations of the spectators.
"It turned out to be a cub of the nine-tailed fox clan."
"Nine-tailed foxes, whether male or female, are all beautiful."
"No, the nine-tailed fox clan only has nine tails, how can this one have ten?"
"The color of the fur is not pure, but it's actually red. Don't the nine-tailed fox clan respect white?"
"Are you out of your mind? If it's a purebred nine-tailed fox cub, who would dare to auction it publicly, would you die?"
"..."
There was a lot of discussion, and this cub who appeared in the finale obviously aroused the interest of everyone present. Only Ruan Shiqing was wondering: "What is the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?"
In his world, the nine-tailed fox was a creature that only appeared in legends.
"The nine-tailed fox clan is an ancient noble after the Yumir clan, the dragon clan, and the mermaid clan." In fact, Xiong Yuanyuan is mostly hearsay. What about the ancient and noble races?
"I heard that the nine-tailed fox clan attaches great importance to bloodlines and respects white. They reject and discriminate against those mixed races with impure fur." Looking at the nine-tailed fox cubs who kept trying to hit the crystal cage, Xiong Yuanyuan showed sympathy: "Like this cub, not only is the coat color impure, but it also has an extra tail. It's just a different kind of heterogeneity, and it must be the most discriminated against." That's why it was reduced to an auction.
If the purebred nine-tailed fox cubs were treated like this, the nine-tailed fox clan would have already issued a wanted order all over the world.
Nine-tailed foxes are famous for their coexistence of strength and beauty. Coupled with their innate skills that can charm people, almost no one will dislike the nine-tailed fox.
But these ancient races have always been arrogant and never intermarry with foreign races, so such a cub who has the blood of a nine-tailed fox without getting into trouble is undoubtedly very popular.
"So... this cub is actually a Bis?" Ruan Shiqing understood, but became more and more surprised.
He originally thought that this nine-tailed fox cub was a precious pet. But listening to their words, this cub is clearly also a Bis.
What is the difference between this and child trafficking?
"In a broad sense, yes." Xiong Fangfang said: "But those noble nobles think that Bis is a derogatory term and don't like being called that."
Ruan Shiqing just thought it was absurd: "Will this not violate the law?"
"Isn't it allowed by imperial law?" Xiong Yuanyuan wasn't quite sure, after all, he had never read the law: "But none of us abide by the law here."

His words were calm, just stating an objective fact.
Ruan Shiqing fell silent.
Rong Heng was as silent as him at this time. His five senses were sensitive, and he could distinguish the cub's roar from the noisy sounds around him.
It was an angry resistance, an unwilling struggle, but it was not despair and fear.
This is a very tough pup.
Even if he was born alien, was exiled by the tribe, and fell to this point, he was still brave and unyielding.
"Can we just watch like this?" Ruan Shiqing struggled to organize the language and wanted to say something, but felt powerless to speak.
Xiong Yuanyuan didn't understand what he meant, thinking that he also liked the cub, scratched his ears, and looked embarrassed: "The starting price is 100,000 stars, and we don't have the money to bid, so of course we can only watch it."
Maybe in this life, he will never see so many stars.
Ruan Shiqing was suddenly dumbfounded.
Xiong Yuanyuan was right, he didn't have that much money. Not to mention participating in the auction, he couldn't even get the starting price of 100,000 star coins.
Maybe we can get it after selling the engine and drive, but by that time, the little fox had already been taken away.
After that, Ruan Shiqing didn't speak again. He groped to find the puppy's warm little paw and held it. Watching silently on the big screen, the price of the auction is getting higher and higher.
Everyone fell into a frenzy, and the host was eloquent and spittle, constantly adding fuel to fire.
The auction lasted for half an hour. After several rounds of sawing and chasing, it was finally sold at a high price of 350,000 star coins.
Such a high price can be regarded as a handful in previous underground auctions. The host danced a fiery rumba on the spot to celebrate and ordered someone to carry the huge crystal cage down.
Inside the cage, the roar of the nine-tailed fox cub was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but it still barked its canine teeth that were not sharp enough at every spectator present.
The crystal cage eventually disappeared behind the scenes.
The small, burning flame also disappeared.
The host announced the intermission with a smile on his face, and asked all the guests who brought the auction items to wait for the auction items to be appraised at the appraisal office next door, and began to prepare for the second auction.
Ruan Shiqing's mood was a little low, but he did not forget the business. He temporarily handed the cub to Xiong Yuanyuan to take care of, while he and Xiong Fangfang took the engine drive for identification.
The number of people participating in the auction is large, and there will naturally be many people who bring the auction items. But not everything is worth the effort and time of the auction organizer. All auction items will be sent to the booth only after passing the appraisal. At that time, the organizer will take one tenth of the auction proceeds as a commission.
Ruan Shiqing was in the middle of the queue and entered the appraisal office with the flow of people. Leave the humble cloth pocket open.
From Hornick's reaction, he guessed that the crashed aircraft must be very extraordinary, so he deliberately turned the side with the falcon pattern and number up, and tapped it with his finger.
The appraiser thought it was another one who wanted to try his luck, and was about to call out the next one impatiently, but his eyes swept to the falcon pattern and number on the engine, and his breath suddenly suffocated.
"Silver Falcon?" He rushed forward and carefully checked the engine and drive. The appraiser quickly called two more people and invited Ruan Shiqing and Xiong Fangfang to the private reception room of the appraisal office.
The crowd at the back exclaimed, their eyes full of envy.
Inside the auction venue, Xiong Yuanyuan's body was stiff.
When Ruan Shiqing asked him to help take care of his puppy, he was very happy. After all, the puppy looks soft and harmless, and still very cute, who can refuse this?
But when got started, realized that looking cute and being cute are fucking different things.
After Ruan Shiqing left, this soft and harmless puppy exuded an indescribable aura, which made Xiong Yuanyuan sit still and didn't dare to move at all.
It was as if he was sitting on a needle-felt, not moving and panicking.
Just fucking hard.
Holding an ancestor in his arms wouldn't do it.
Xiong Yuanyuan was sweating on her back, and couldn't help looking at the long queue next door, and sent sos to Ruan Shiqing countless times in her heart.
But Ruan Shiqing obviously didn't receive the signal. The people on the left didn't come out, and the people on the right still didn't come out. In the end, couldn't hold it anymore, so could only respectfully take off coat and spread it on the seat next to it, then carefully picked up the puppy and put it on it.
With a sigh of relief, Xiong Yuanyuan originally wanted him to stay obedient and not run around, but when it came to his mouth, he said, "You...sit tight."
"????" Xiong Yuanyuan was stunned.
Damn, I actually coax a puppy.
Rong Heng looked at him coldly, not moving or making a sound, just like Shura asking for his life.
Xiong Yuanyuan looked at him for three seconds, then looked away in embarrassment and looked elsewhere.
fuck! Is this really a puppy?
So fierce, he doesn't believe it!
After doing some psychological construction for himself, Xiong Yuanyuan dared to look back.
then? ? ? ?
What the hell! What about the cub?
What about such a big son of a bitch he put here?
Just turning his head, the puppy disappeared, Xiong Yuanyuan panicked, searched back and forth, left and right, even digging under the seat, but couldn't find the terrifying puppy.
At the same time, Rong Heng had already sneaked into the warehouse where the auction items were stored by taking advantage of his stature.
Among the auction items, only one crystal cage shone brightly in the dark.
His guess was right, the auction was not over yet, and the buyer who took the nine-tailed fox cub had not had time to take it away.
The cub in the cage is very keen, and although he hasn't seen a figure yet, he has raised his ears and looks alert.
Rong Heng slowly approached, releasing the tyrannical aura that belonged to Youmir—
That's how he intimidated Xiong Yuanyuan just now.
The greater the strength gap between the two sides, the more the other party will feel instinctive fear and anxiety about his breath.
The nine-tailed fox cub obviously shrank back and took a step back, but almost at the same moment, she raised her chest again, bared her fangs, pushed her hind legs to the ground and charged at Rong Heng in a hunter's pose—she overcame Out of her instinctive fear, if it wasn't for the crystal cage to block her, she would not hesitate to pounce on Rong Heng.
"The nine-tailed fox family is as blind as ever."
Rong Heng snorted, easily removed the lock of the crystal cage, and threw the damaged lock on the ground at will. He walked away in the shadow of the corner without looking behind him.
After Ruan Shiqing signed the auction agreement and came out, he saw Xiong Yuanyuan sitting at the door of the appraisal office crying.
At this time, most of the people had finished the appraisal, and there were not many people left in line, so Xiong Yuanyuan, who was squatting in a ball and still crying, was particularly conspicuous, and many people gathered around and pointed to watch the fun.
Xiong Fangfang didn't expect to see him for a while, his brother could be so embarrassing and conspicuous, he quickly stepped forward and picked him up, shaking his ashes: "Why are you crying?"
Xiong Yuanyuan's eyes were swollen and narrowed. He sniffed and looked at Ruan Shiqing, his face full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I lost the snowball." Doing a good thing, so he lowered his head in shame, and said "I'm sorry" again with a murmur.
Ruan Shiqing's heart skipped a beat, and even his brain was blank for a moment. After a while, he could restrain his emotions and ask the cause and effect.
"I, I put him in the seat next to him, and then he disappeared as soon as he turned his head."
Xiong Yuanyuan said dryly. But in fact, it is impossible to say that he is ugly, because things are so bizarre. He turned his head and the cub was gone.
"Maybe it's hiding somewhere." Ruan Shiqing tried his best to restrain his impatience, and calmly thought about various possibilities, but his pace couldn't help speeding up.
"Let's look around first."
Xiong Yuanyuan wiped her face, her ears drooping down listlessly: "I-I've already looked for it."
The result was no hair.
"Maybe there is a leak somewhere—" I looked for it.
Ruan Shiqing stopped abruptly, looked back at Xiong Yuanyuan and said, "Isn't Snowball in my seat?"
Xiong Yuanyuan looked at the dog who was squatting on the seat, and slowly opened her mouth.
Ruan Shiqing strode over and picked up the cub: "Are you secretly naughty?"
Rong Heng tilted his head, bewildered.
What are you talking about, don't understand, don't know.
"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm." Xiong Fangfang rounded up the field in the middle: "If you can't find it, look for it again. What are you crying, shame or shame? Isn't it just found?"
"..." Xiong Yuanyuan was extremely aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say it.
He secretly glanced at the cute and well-behaved son of a bitch in Ruan Shiqing's arms, and hid behind his brother in horror.
He suspected the dog was targeting him.
