Chapter 22: The Auction (1)

Mengxian spent the night in a state of trepidation.

The next day, the young man came over as usual, and this time he consciously brought her the spirit fruit, and did not bring any more unpalatable meat.

Just as he was about to squat down and start chattering, a strong force came from behind him, directly tearing him to the ground.

"Stinky boy, just a low-ranking person, how dare you steal the spirit fruit?" a high-spirited voice came.

Mengxian looked up and saw that two young men who were dressed in subordinate costumes, neater than the young man in front of them from head to toe, I don't know how many times, were standing not far away, one as fat as a pig and the other as thin as a hemp pole, both of them had a sneering expression.

The boy buried his head like a frightened quail, his body trembling incessantly, and whispered, "No...... Not me...... It was the dining room that told me ......"

"Ordered you to feed such a good spirit fruit to the spirit beast?" The fat man sneered disdainfully, staring greedily at the plate of fragrant spirit fruits, and his mind became active.

The boy nodded, and the thin hemp pole came up and poked the dream fairy in the cage with his hand.

"Hey, just this little thing?"

"No, I don't even know what breed it is, and at first glance it's a cheap product. ”

One fat and one thin, the two began to sing and harmonize.

Mengxian looked at the hand that poked in, and suddenly his eyes showed a fierce light, and he opened his mouth to bite.

"Oops!" the thin hemp pole retracted his hand as if it had been burned, screamed, and kicked on the cage, "Little bastard, you dare to bite me?"

Mengxian was smashed to pieces in an instant, but she still tried to grit her little fangs, trying to make herself look fierce.

"Don't hurt it!" the boy suddenly burst out of courage and threw himself in front of the cage, defending it to the death.

The two evil servants immediately became angry, and while cursing something, they punched and kicked the young man.

It wasn't until the boy was covered in scars and was about to faint that the two stopped their movements and continued to sneer.

"Hmph! Little bastard protects little bastard, rightly so!"

"Don't think that if you can come here to work, someone will look up to you!"

The boy gritted his teeth and lowered his head. With a numb face, he let them beat and scold, but in a place where no one noticed, a little essence flashed in his eyes from time to time.

It wasn't until these two evil servants who didn't talk like that they were tired of beating and scolding that they picked up the spiritual fruit and walked away.

How could they not know that this was what had been assigned to them in the dining room? It's just that the manager of this house is this little bastard, and he is a bully.

After the two left, the boy held the cage for a long time, feeling that his body didn't seem to be as painful as just now, and then slowly sat up.

"I'm sorry, little one...... Your spirit fruit has been robbed of ......"

Looking at the beautiful blue eyes swollen and covered with a layer of mist, Mengxian was a little stunned, this young man was forced to hold on to a silent voice when he was beaten, but he was almost crying because her spirit fruit was robbed.

Really...... It's cute......

Mengxian stretched out her little paw and gently touched his body, expressing comfort. The young man was in a much better mood when he saw her stretching out her claws and trying to comfort him.

After admonishing her again, the boy left. The snatched spirit fruit...... She can only be eaten by a dog, and she doesn't have to eat every moment anyway.

Mengxian carefully observed for a few days, and found that the people in this courtyard were all beating and scolding this thin little boy at every turn, and almost no one would give him a good look.

But no matter what, the boy would personally come to the yard every day, rain or shine, to take care of the spirit animal's diet. Especially when I'm free, I'll be with her and talk a lot to her.

Mengxian learned from his words that he had been living on the street for some reason when he was a toddler. Because the color of his eyes is different from ordinary people, he is excluded and bullied as a beggar on the street.

Later, he was taken away by traffickers, and later because he found out that he could say the names of some treasures without knowing why, he was taken by the owner of the auction house and sold here as a slave, but he still did not get rid of the fate of being bullied.

In this way, after half a month of chattering as a young boy and being deducted from rations from time to time, Mengxian finally couldn't hold it back one day.

She's going to kidnap this pretty little guy with her!

"That, little brother. ”

The young man, who was immersed in chatter, was suddenly stunned.

"You, you...... Can you speak?"

"Hee-hee-hee, I can't think of it. The voice of the dream fairy silver bell sounded softly.

The little boy raised his head vigilantly and looked left and right before lowering his voice and said, "I thought you just had the spirit to understand me, but you can really speak!"

"That's right! I've been injured before, and I'm recovering, so I can't speak. Mengxian's face did not change, he opened his mouth and began to flicker, and then he arranged how he fought bravely with adventurers in the forest, and beat the other party's parents without knowing him. As a result, the wonderful story of letting down your vigilance, but being plotted miserably. The teenager who listened looked surprised.

Looking at the young man's sudden realization, Mengxian wagged his tail proudly, rolled his eyes, and said again:

"I see you're always being bullied, do you want to ...... Do you want us to get out together?"

"No, ......" The boy lowered his head, hiding the interest in his eyes. "There are a lot of highly skilled elders in the auction house, and once they are caught, they will be killed on the spot......"

Looking at the young man's cowardly appearance, Mengxian looked like he hated iron but not steel. "We can use a strategy!"

After that, he stuck it in the young man's ear and muttered a lot.

"It's a lot of fun...... But can we really get away with this?" the boy frowned.

"Oh, believe me! I'm amazing!" the dream fairy proudly lined up her small chest, "Now the first problem is the ...... of the spirit binding circle"

Seeing that the boy was interested, the two began to talk about it enthusiastically, until someone came over and scolded him.

Before leaving, the young man finally asked what was in his heart: "...... Are you really a strange beast?"

"This ...... We'll tell you when we're out. In fact, she was not sure of herself, so she had to pretend to prevaricate mysteriously, but she did not notice the inquiring smile on the young man's face when he walked out of the yard.

Seeing that the day of the auction was getting closer and closer, a news suddenly spread in Shifang City: this month's auction will auction an unknown divine beast!

Legend has it that this mythical beast is looking for an atmospheric carrier, and once it recognizes its master, it will increase its longevity a lot!

It can increase longevity!

It is said that there is no time for cultivation, not to mention how much life expectancy is increased, the longer you practice, the deeper your cultivation will always be. Once you gain the favor of this unknown divine beast, this atmospheric luck alone is enough to find the hope of ascending to immortality!

I don't know where this news came from. It quickly spread throughout Shifang City, and within a few days, it spread to the four countries and various sects.

For a time, Shifang City was overcrowded.

The auction house didn't know who spread the news, anyway, the shopkeeper had foreseen that he was about to make a lot of money, and he was already happy, whether it was true or not, it was an advertising campaign.
