Mei Yingxue couldn't believe her ears, wondering if her daughter, a mighty Ascended cultivator, had gone deaf!
What was this foolish daughter of hers saying?!
Was she, a mother at the fifth level of Ascension, going to compete with her daughter for some raw youth who wasn't even twenty years old?!
Mei Yingxue repeatedly told herself: "Stay calm! Stabilize your state of mind! Ascension requires not indulging in wild thoughts!"
As Mei Yingxue forcefully controlled her emotions, Gong Xiaoyan, who hadn't received a response from her mother for a long time, grew anxious:
"Mother!! Don't go, Mother!!! I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself!!!"
Looking at her daughter's earnest little expression, Mei Yingxue felt a bit foolish. It was better to address the issue directly than to suppress it. Instead of suppressing her emotions here, it would be better to hang this foolish daughter up and give her a good thrashing to clear her mind!
Just as Mei Yingxue was about to clear her mind, footsteps and shouts came from outside the corridor: xxs壹贰
"楼主! 楼主! Where are you?"
"It's almost time! The distinguished guests outside are getting impatient! Please take the stage quickly!!"
When the subordinates from within the building rounded the corner, they saw Gong Xiaoyan, smiling and graceful, exuding charm:
"Alright, stop rushing me, I have it under control."
"Let's go, let us represent the Four Seasons Association and hold a grand auction!"
"Don't worry, we have connections above. The big figures of the Four Seasons Association will cover us and ensure our auction runs smoothly!"
Hearing this, the previously anxious subordinates relaxed. But they didn't know that Gong Xiaoyan said this deliberately for her mother to hear.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Xiaoyan quickly walked out, emphasizing again:
"楼主, I dare to speak before those top powers only because I have the backing of the big figures in the Four Seasons Association. Without their support, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to speak once I'm on stage."
"At that time, my personal embarrassment would be minor, but it would be a major issue if we caused the Four Seasons Association to lose face!"
Mei Yingxue, who was hidden nearby, heard this and her teeth itched with anger. As the Vice President, she naturally couldn't stand by and let her daughter go on stage alone, whether for public or private reasons.
Fine, it was just a man. It was only because her daughter was foolish that she became a simpering admirer. After all, even if a man was good-looking, what kind of stir could he cause?
Hmph, once the auction is over, that man would eventually be stripped to the bone by the buyer! At that time, her daughter would naturally give up her infatuation!
Lost in thought, Mei Yingxue followed closely, unable to rest her mind about this foolish child.
...
At the deepest part of the platform transformed from Chunxiang Tower, Chen Luo, bored, put on his mask again.
This was because a few subordinates from Chunxiang Tower had recently begun pushing the golden cage he was in towards another location.
The golden cage moved slowly along the wooden passage, with nervous and intelligent subordinates of Chunxiang Tower occasionally rushing around anxiously.
The scale of today's event was truly beyond their capacity to handle.
However, since they were only backstage support, the pressure of the main stage was still borne by Gong Xiaoyan. Therefore, although everyone was a little uneasy, the order remained intact.
A moment later, the golden cage containing Chen Luo was transported to a spacious hall. The members who transported it rushed to their next task.
The hall was densely packed with hundreds of cages, but at this moment, only less than a hundred cages contained humans.
No, not just humans, Chen Luo looked around.
He discovered that the number of people confined in different cages also varied. Most contained one person, but some contained several people together. Judging by their appearance and attire, they seemed to be relatives or members of the same clan.
What attracted Chen Luo even more were the beings in a few cages that were clearly non-human.
Lizardmen with scales all over their bodies, beings with droopy ears that resembled beast-eared girls, and many other clearly non-human strange existences:
"Hiss, I remember the theme of Chunxiang Tower's auctions was cultivation and sensual dual-use cauldrons."
"I can still understand humanoid demon races, but what's the deal with these lizardmen whose gender I can't even tell, and these dog-headed people who look so perverted?!"
The human world's fetishes in the cultivation world deeply shocked Chen Luo's young mind. However, this was also because he didn't know that there were also demon races among the guests at the auction outside.
Of course, some humans also came to bid on these strange cauldrons. After all, whether immortal or demonic, everyone was free.
While shocked, Chen Luo's peripheral vision was suddenly drawn to a young girl in a cage next to him.
Chen Luo's cage and the girl's cage were placed separately, clearly treated differently from other auction items.
What attracted Chen Luo was that he sensed several interesting fluctuations from her.
"This is interesting. Since I'm making some progress in adapting my rules, let me see your true nature!"
"True Sight!"
Chen Luo's dark eyes slowly closed. When he opened them again, the vast number of demonic patterns deep within his dark eyes began to spin rapidly.
The girl's appearance was extremely beautiful, but her temperament and appearance had a stylistic difference that was out of place with the style of this cultivation world.
Under Chen Luo's True Sight, all concealment was now meaningless.
The girl's true appearance was secondary. What attracted Chen Luo more were the fluctuations around her and the suppressed power in her mind.
【You have observed Irina, a survivor of the Wizard World. You have obtained partial information about her.】
【Irina】
【Age】: 213 years old
【Affiliated World】: Wizard World (Destroyed, but for unknown reasons, its affiliated clans did not perish with it.)
【Power System】: Wizard - Mental Faction (Currently unable to use normally as the Heavenly Dao is accommodating new rules.)
【Combat Power Rating】: First Order Hellish (Sealed by immortal methods, current strength has dropped to mortal levels.)
【Status】: World assimilation in progress, affiliated world modification in progress, cognition and language system modification in progress....
【Description】: Once a genius of the True Wizard system, but alas, no egg survives a broken nest. Having lost the protection of the Great Source of the world, she is now merely a plaything in the hands of the victors.
After reading Irina's information, Chen Luo's heart stirred.
Speaking of which, apart from the rapid power increase from the game system, and the Heart and Soul Path which was clearly accelerated by a Great Lord,
In the void, normal cultivation systems of myriad worlds seemed to be relatively slow.
For example, Gong Xiaoyan claimed to have been guarding here for sixty years, and this beautiful blonde and blue-eyed girl was actually over two hundred years old.
"Good heavens, she's not just an older sister, but a grandmother now!"
Chen Luo, who was not yet twenty this year, once again felt a slight shock from the myriad worlds in the void.
The reason he felt familiar before was also found in the system's introduction.
The mental power cultivated by the Wizard system was somewhat similar to the refined mental power of his Arcane Mage profession.
But what was more interesting were Irina's 【Affiliated World】 and 【Status】.
