1. Major General in the underground auction house
"My lord, the auction has begun." Someone whispered in her ear.
Xie Qingqiu immediately opened his eyes, and the clarity in his light brown eyes seemed to have not fallen asleep.
She stood up and straightened her clothes, which were simple and casual casual clothes, but the momentum on her body should not be underestimated. Shoulder-length black hair was casually draped, adding a bit of carelessness.
She has an extremely contradictory temperament, with uplifted peach blossom eyes, tear moles at the corners of her eyes, and almost flawless skin, and her facial features create a sense of affection and coolness for her.
People in the interstellar era generally have a long lifespan, with an average lifespan of more than two hundred years, and in Xie Qingqiu's forty years of life, he has been living in a garbage star for the first ten years, and he has become the youngest major general in the empire after more than twenty years.
Therefore, her years of military career have allowed her to cultivate a bit of righteousness.
"Let's go." She took a puppet mask from the table next to her, put it on, and walked straight out of the lounge.
And the temperament on his body suddenly changed, and his sharpness faded, more like an unreliable prodigal.
This is a very small auction hall at the bottom, there is no box, and there are some small items sold on weekdays, but this time it is said that there is a cherished good thing, and the gods have been mysteriously promoted for a long time.
Many people think this is a publicity gimmick, but Xie Qingqiu's purpose this time is to plant the extremely precious Manzhu grass, which can be used as an auxiliary in adulthood to increase the probability of promotion to S+.
But this thing has no price, and she can only try her luck at every auction house.
The damned waste of their empire, the Third Highness, is so poor in her own strength that she can only enslave these soldiers and coolies to find a way to improve her rank before and after the saddle.
"Silly*" thought that her beautiful vacation was gone, and she couldn't help but scold.
"Less... Don't do this, my lord, in case someone hears about putting on your shoes. The adjutant Ou beside him couldn't help but persuade again.
Xie Qingqiu rolled her eyes, "She can't hear again." β
With that, she quickened her pace.
The main venue of the auction soon arrived, and Xie Qingqiu found a position at the front to observe the authenticity of things up close.
Because the manzhu grass is precious, there are many fakes in some black-hearted auction houses.
The auctioneer was an alien male, wearing a few pieces of fabric, and walked up to the auction table step by step, and his voice was also delicate.
"Oh, don't keep the virtues." Xie Qingqiu turned his body sideways, closed his eyes and said to Adjutant Ou, "Tell me when it's time for the main event." β
Perhaps she was too tired from running around day and night, so she fell asleep again, and then was woken up by a loud noise.
She turned around and opened her eyes to see that what she saw shocked her, and her wings were almost uncontrollable and released, and the insect patterns seemed to be hot.
The soul is reverberating with it, because of an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"This, this, what is this?"
Adjutant Ou reluctantly withdrew his eyes, "My lord, this is the highlight of their venue, a precious black-eyed male insect." β
Indeed, Xie Qingqiu could see it at a glance.
As she sat close, the male was no more than two or three meters away from her, and he wore a light gauze shirt that revealed his skin, and his skin was visible to the naked eye, and he was locked in an iron cage, with shackles on his hands and feet.
At this moment, he was curled up in the corner trembling, and a pair of black eyes that symbolized preciousness were overflowing with tears, looking at Xie Qingqiu.
The combination of innocence and temptation is the easiest way to arouse people's animal desires and desire to conquer.
"MD, it's better to come for nothing." Knowing that this was the main event of the auction house, she instantly lost interest and stood up and wanted to go out.
"Your Excellency, don't you want it?" Adjutant Ou whispered in her ear, "This is a precious male worm, or a black-eyed one!" β
"No, where can the males in the auction room be clean?"
"Really? Buy it and you're alone! β
"Don't, I'm ......"
Before Xie Qingqiu finished speaking, he heard a sound behind him.
When he turned to look, he saw that the male insect who had thought he was curled up in the corner suddenly crouched on the edge of the iron cage, and stretched out the cage with one hand in the direction of Xie Qingqiu.
"Woo ~ sister... Sister ......" he made a faint, staccato sound from his mouth, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Damn, does he know me? Or do I know him? Xie Qingqiu didn't feel pity, he just felt terrible.
"My lord, maybe he's calling my sister." Adjutant Ou pushed her in the direction of the iron cage. "People want you!"
", don't." With that, she turned around and left without looking back, and the auction officially began.
As she went farther and farther, the price increased higher and higher, and the male worm's cry became louder and louder, until at last there was some hysteria, as if the liver and intestines were broken.
But what made Xie Qingqiu really hesitate was some unknown guidance, and a voice in her heart told her that she must buy him, she must buy him, otherwise it will cause a big disaster.
Then the shattered picture of the sea of corpses and blood flashed in front of him, and there were countless people's cries and howls, which made Xie Qingqiu stumble under his feet.
"Ten million Star Coins!" She gritted her teeth, this is her frugal salary for several years!
Both the auctioneer's and the male's eyes lit up.
"Eleven million!" Originally, the man was not reconciled and shouted the price again.
Xie Qingqiu looked in that direction, but the figure was not in the dark, so he couldn't see clearly.
"Eleven one million!" Xie Qingqiu endured the pain and added another 100,000.
"Fifteen million!"
She staggered and grabbed Adjutant Ou's hand. "Fifteen million one hundred thousand!"
The man added again, Xie Qingqiu and her came back and forth several times, each time it was 100,000 yuan, and the final price stayed at 19.9 million and was successfully photographed by her.
"Why don't you add it, why don't you add it?" She clutched her heart, feeling like it was dripping blood.
But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, even if she feels pain in her flesh, she still has to pay for the male worm.
The auction staff took him to the backstage, handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and after swiping the card, they released the male insect from the iron cage, tied a chain around his neck, and handed it to the hand of Xie Qingqiu.
After the transaction was completed, they consciously exited the room.
"Sister." The male didn't know what he had learned here, and he tried to pounce on her, and his eyes were wet.
Xie Qingqiu blocked his face with one hand and didn't let him get close to him, "Stop, stop, don't call me that, what's your name?" β
She urgently needed to figure out who the male was, and how it could make her feel that weird.
The male insect didn't answer her, and stubbornly called his sister to get closer, and then no matter what Xie Qingqiu asked, he didn't seem to understand.
"It's over, 19.9 million star coins bought a fool." In a fit of rage, she threw the leash to Adjutant Ou. "What kind of profiteer is this?"
He seemed to understand this sentence, and shook his head vigorously to deny: "It's not a fool, it's not a fool, li... liβ
He stubbornly uttered a syllable in his mouth, which was indistinct and could not be heard clearly by Xie Qingqiu.
"Pears? Do you want to eat pears? β
The males are still repeating.
"Your name is Pear?"
The male nodded.
"Pears? What pear? She was not answered. Ah forget it, I spent so much money to buy you, and I can't lose too much, take my surname! β
"Xie Li, okay?"
The male insect didn't understand, but smiled at her obediently, Xie Qingqiu looked at his appearance and felt that he had ironed a little, and it was not too much of a loss.
As for what the identity is, you can check it slowly.
"Let's go back first!"
Now that it is pleasing to the eye, I feel that the leash is a bit insulting, and after unloading it, I took him away with a half-drag and a half-hug on his shoulder.
Xie Qingqiu is one meter eight five, Xie Li is slightly shorter than her, about one meter eight, and he is tall among the male insects, but he is very thin.
This room has a door attached to it, so you can go directly to the auction house.
But as soon as the door was pushed open, something happened suddenly, and a sharp wind swept past her ears and pierced into the wall.
