Chapter 19: Take the lead
The sea shrouded in darkness was like an ancient beast opening its mouth and devouring all the light in the world.
Xu Xiaoyan wanted to come to Yu Nanyuan's side, but when she saw the boundless deep sea behind her, her face couldn't help but become a little pale, and she instinctively stopped.
Yu Nanyuan knew that Xu Xiaoyan had always been relatively timid, and the smile on his face was retracted, and he stepped forward to hold one of Xu Xiaoyan's hands.
"Let's find a place to eat first."
"Hmm......" Xu Xiaoyan didn't seem to have eased up, his voice trembled slightly, and his other hand involuntarily grabbed the corner of Yu Nanyuan's clothes. It seems that this is the only way for her to find some security.
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded behind Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyan.
"Nan Yuan! Words! ”
It was a tall girl, who looked twelve or thirteen years old, and her figure had begun to take shape. An elegant and luxurious purple dress set off her fair skin more and more, as delicate as clotted cream. Her long purple hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her eyes were also purple, but the color was lighter, as clear as crystal. With a gentle smile on her pretty face, she walked gracefully towards this side
Before Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyan could speak, there was already a gust of fragrant wind blowing on their faces.
Ouyang Zixin bent over, stretched out a pair of jade hands affectionately and stroked the cheeks of Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyan, and said in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to attend today's dinner."
"Sister Zixin, it was Grandpa and Uncle Xu who specially asked me and Xiaoyan to come over." Yu Nanyuan replied in place of Xu Xiaoyan, who was shy by nature.
Ouyang Zixin nodded, then looked at Yu Nanyuan carefully, and said with a smile.
"Nanyuan, I've heard about it from my grandfather. It seems that you are really okay now, so I am relieved. ”
There were two more people who boarded the cruise ship with Ouyang Zixin. Walking in front was a middle-aged man in his forties. With a dignified appearance, a silver formal suit could not hide his majestic body at all.
Beside the middle-aged man, there was a girl who was about the same age as Ouyang Zixin. She was also very beautiful, with big blue eyes that were shining. The long blonde hair is combed into a ponytail, and even the dress she chooses does not have too many complicated and gorgeous decorations, which looks very neat and neat.
Yu Nanyuan recognized the identities of the two at a glance and greeted them politely.
"Uncle Mu, Sister Mu Xi."
The two were Mu Chen, the president of the East Sea City Branch of the Sun and Moon Federation Forging Masters Association, and his daughter Mu Xi. If the future develops as Yu Nanyuan remembered in his previous life, Mu Chen, an eight-star saint craftsman, will accept Tang Wulin as a disciple, and Mu Xi will naturally become Tang Wulin's senior sister.
Although he was in a high position, Mu Chen behaved more casually, smiling and bowing his head to Yu Nanyuan.
In Donghai City, far away from the center of the mainland, the top classes have long been solidified, and they are all relatively familiar with each other. Just like Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyan are childhood sweethearts, Ouyang Zixin and Mu Xi are also best friends who talk about everything.
Seeing and hearing and family background are the same, and there will naturally be more topics to talk about with each other.
However, compared with Mu Chen, who is introverted, Mu Xi's attitude towards Yu Nanyuan is slightly colder, or arrogant. Just a slight gesture, she raised her head and looked at Ouyang Zixin again.
"Zixin, that auction is going to start soon, let's go over first."
Ouyang Zixin also knew that Xu Xiaoyan's personality was more cowardly, and carefully told Yu Nanyuan: "Nanyuan, take good care of Xiaoyan." We'll go over first, and we'll see you later. ”
"I'll see you later, Sister Zixin." Yu Nanyuan replied with a smile.
Although Xu Xiaoyan would be shy in front of people she didn't know well, she kept observing Yu Nanyuan. She found that Yu Nanyuan's gaze seemed to stay on Ouyang Zixin and Mu Xi for an extraordinarily long time.
When Mu Chen and the three left, she sulked again.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, with three whistles, the cruise ship slowly sailed out of the dock and accelerated towards the sea in the distance.
Xu Xiaoyan was frightened and hurriedly hugged Yu Nanyuan. When she raised her head and met Yu Nanyuan's eyes, she felt a little tearless and found that the emotions she had just brewed had almost dissipated after being interrupted like this.
But she felt that she couldn't just leave it at that, and pursed her lips coquettishly.
"What?!"
"Nothing. Let's go, Xiaoyan, go get something to eat. Yu Nanyuan smiled, took Xu Xiaoyan's hand and walked towards the lively center of the cruise ship. The launch of the cruise ship also means the official start of this dinner,
The first deck has the largest space, and there are even several open-air stages in between. On each stage, there are special actors performing different plays. A lot of the content of these dramas is related to those two epoch-making top powerhouses. Seagod Tang San and Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.
It's even their own experience.
For example, on the first stage, the dedicated actor was playing the scene where Tang San, the god of the sea, resurrected his wife Soft Bone Douluo Xiaowu after a lot of hardships. Especially 'Resurrection!' My lover! This line can be called a classic among the classics.
The actor who played Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao on the side was also not to be outdone, and began to chant with emotion.
"Sidong boxing, thinking is like a spring!"
"Remember the Winter Sword, never forget!"
"Hao Dong Zhang, life and life!"
"Dong'er! Winter! Winter! ”
……
Yu Nanyuan found that his choice to come here was a complete mistake. He endured the nausea in his heart and pulled Xu Xiaoyan to leave here quickly. It wasn't until I rested for a while in a quiet dessert shop on the second deck that the physical and psychological discomfort eased a lot.
Xu Xiaoyan didn't seem to be affected much before, and was savoring the delicate dessert in front of him. Every time I dig a small piece with a spoon and put it into my little mouth, I squint my eyes with enjoyment, like a well-behaved and lazy kitten.
At the same time, the auction in the banquet hall on the top floor of the deck was officially opened. Each auction item is quite precious and rare, at least in Donghai City, there has not been such a high-level auction for many years.
For example, the 3,000-year-old Winter Snow Lotus was only the third lot, and it was not surprising that it was successfully auctioned by Yu Zhen for 10 million federal coins. Each of the following lots became more and more precious, and Mu Chen also auctioned a special rare metal.
Half an hour passed, and finally it was the turn of the last lot.
With a solemn expression, the host asked people to send a metal box to the auction table, and then slowly opened it under the gaze of everyone.
A faint blue light suddenly shone from the inside of the box. A strange blue bone resembling a miniature version of a human's right arm bone slowly rose into the air under the fluctuation of rich soul power, and the whole was as transparent as a blue crystal, and it was densely covered with scale-like lines.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last lot of the evening. A right arm soul bone is taken from a sea Jiao that has been cultivated for 10,000 years. The sea dragon has a trace of sea dragon blood, and the sea dragon is a real dragon, a top-level existence at the same level as the blue electric Tyrannosaurus rex. ”
The host's introduction was very concise, because the value attached to this level of soul bone could no longer be summed up in just a few sentences. Everyone who understands naturally understands, and he doesn't need to say much.
Yu Zhen remained calm, after all, the attributes of this soul bone were not suitable for his grandson. But Xu Xingwei, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but clench his fists, which was the goal of his trip. And Xu Xiaoyu was even more difficult to maintain her previous cold image, her face was stunned, and her face turned red.
This is a soul bone, and it is the best 10,000-year-old soul bone that can be met but not sought!
It's just that what everyone present didn't know was that at the junction of the deep sea and the offshore sea, a pair of bright yellow huge eyes suddenly opened from the depths of the dark seabed, which were full of hatred and resentment.
