Yanhuang Douluo's real name was Ling Qingyue.The reason she had such thoughts was because she herself was born a commoner. She remembered very clearly: back then, when the authorities sent troops to exterminate bandits, the mountain bandits got the news beforehand and had long slipped away.
After that, when the soldiers arrived at their village, they slaughtered more than half of the villagers. Every villager who died had their head cut off — the soldiers took the villagers' heads and passed them off as bandits to report to their superiors, collecting rewards in the process.
As for the dead villagers, of course their deaths would be blamed on the bandits' atrocities. Meanwhile, the soldiers were praised as brave defenders of the nation. How laughable.
Ling Qingyue's father had his head "borrowed" by the soldiers exactly at that time.
Because of that, she had absolutely no goodwill toward royalty or nobility. She wished they would all just drop dead.
But right now she couldn't say any of that. Ever since she awakened her martial soul and was chosen as Ning Zhiyuan's fiancée, she no longer counted as a commoner. And the husband beside her, although he had no noble title, was no different from nobility — still part of the exploiting class.
So, she could only remain silent the entire time.
"Sitai, is this your first time in Heaven Dou City?"Ning Zhiyuan looked toward the young man beside him and gently asked.
The youth's appearance was ordinary, but he was exactly that person who had been accidentally injured when Huo Yuhao hunted the Titan Giant Ape. Huo Yuhao had completely forgotten about him when he left — luckily Ning Zhiyuan happened to pick up the body.
After rescuing him, Ning Zhiyuan learned that this youth was named Yuanen Sitai, and his martial soul was the top-tier beast martial soul — Titan Giant Ape.
And Yuanen Sitai was a super genius: seventieth rank soul power, only twenty-two years old.
As for why he looked so mature, that was likely thanks to his martial soul.
When Ning Zhiyuan discovered Yuanen Sitai's talent, he immediately developed the desire to recruit him. After several rounds of probing, he learned that Yuanen Sitai had never joined any power — which made him even more enthusiastic.
One moment helping him heal, one moment gifting him new clothes, taking painstaking care of his daily needs — the way he fussed over him was practically the ultimate simp behavior.
Later, during their conversations, Ning Zhiyuan also learned that Yuanen Sitai's soul power had reached a bottleneck. The reason he encountered Huo Yuhao was because he was searching for a Titan Giant Ape to hunt as his seventh soul ring.
Who knew that before he even found one, Huo Yuhao appeared out of nowhere — that guy was ruthless too. A few moves and he had severely injured the Titan Giant Ape, and Yuanen Sitai had been hurt because he was standing too close.
After hearing this, Ning Zhiyuan thumped his chest and told Yuanen Sitai not to worry — the seventh soul ring was covered by him. Then he happily brought two Titled Douluo to find a Titan Giant Ape of suitable age.
Although Titan Giant Apes were ferocious, how could they be opponents for two Titled Douluo? Within a few rounds, Sword Douluo Chen Feng chopped off its limbs, and it died under Yuanen Sitai's heavy punch.
Afterward, Ning Zhiyuan explained the Heaven Dou City Auction and invited Yuanen Sitai along. Yuanen Sitai had received much help from him, so he didn't want to refuse — and besides, he was indeed interested in that hundred-thousand-year soul beast. So he gladly agreed.
At the same time, Nan Shushui and the three Soul Douluo elders of Dilongmen also arrived at the Tianhun Auction Hall.
The Tianhun Auction Hall was jointly run by several noble families of the empire, with the royal family holding the largest share.
The entire auction hall was shaped like a semicircle, like an upside-down bowl, creamy white in color. The gate was arched, with four tall young women standing at the entrance.
These girls had been strictly trained. All were around 1.75 meters tall, with well-proportioned figures. Though not absolute beauties, they were very fresh and elegant.
They wore uniform snow-white floor-length dresses. Nothing especially revealing, but the fabric hugged their bodies, outlining graceful curves.
When Nan Shushui's group approached, one of the girls stepped forward, bowed slightly, and was about to speak when an invitation embossed with golden letters was already handed to her.
She accepted it, opened it to check, confirmed it wasn't forged, and immediately stepped aside, gesturing politely."Honored guests, please follow me."
Then she took small, graceful steps into the interior of the auction hall.
Inside, the Tianhun Auction Hall did not feel gaudy or extravagant. The floor was creamy-white marble, the surrounding walls decorated with various relief carvings. The carvings had minimal color — simple, clear, and very elegant.
Besides the reliefs, some wall-mounted display cases held porcelain, armor, and other exhibit items. Overall, it didn't feel like an auction hall — more like a museum.
As Nan Shushui's group entered, Ning Zhiyuan's group from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also arrived at the entrance.
A young woman stepped forward, bowed, and asked,"Do you need any assistance, honored guests?"
Ning Zhiyuan asked,"Which sub-venue is the Body Sect's auction being held in?"
The girl immediately realized these well-dressed individuals were regulars."Sub-venue No. 3. Would you like me to guide you there?"
"No need."
Ning Zhiyuan pulled out a gold card and flashed it in front of her. Fewer than ten such cards existed on the entire continent. One requirement for obtaining one was reaching a certain level of asset value in gold soul coins. This card symbolized identity and wealth.
Whoever held it was instantly known as either a tycoon or a rich young master — money overflowing at home.
He wasn't trying to show off. The auction hall required qualification certification to enter — proof of assets. The baseline was ten thousand gold soul coins, to prevent malicious bidding.
Items brought for sale also required appraisal — the item had to be worth at least a thousand gold soul coins. After all, a high-end auction couldn't allow random junk.
As Ning Zhiyuan moved forward, he noticed someone missing. Turning around, he found Yuanen Sitai still standing there dumbly, staring at the three girls with lovestruck eyes — practically drooling.
"Sitai, don't stand there. We're going in."
Ning Zhiyuan's voice snapped Yuanen Sitai out of his daze. Embarrassed, he scratched his head and hurried to catch up.
Seeing this, Ning Zhiyuan smiled faintly, amusement flashing in his eyes.Now that he understood Yuanen Sitai's preferences, he was even closer to winning him over.
He had already decided — he would use the "meat-and-egg combo" to completely conquer Yuanen Sitai.
The three reception girls kept professional smiles, their expressions unchanged.
The sub-venue was arranged with a circular stage at the center — the auction platform. Seats radiated outward in rings.
There were four major sections: the three rows closest to the stage were black seats, extending outward to purple, then yellow, then white — clearly arranged by bidder rank.
But black seats weren't the highest. Above black was the top-tier red zone — located on the second floor, in private rooms.
Naturally, Ning Zhiyuan's group would not sit with the ordinary bidders. They headed straight for the red-grade VIP room.
In another VIP room, Huo Yuhao's group was also waiting for the auction to begin.
Huo Yuhao held the auction list, examining it. As the seller of the finale item, he had certain privileges — for example, priority purchase rights at equal price.
Du Budie sat on the sofa eating seeds out of boredom. The old man claimed he just came to join the fun, but in truth, he didn't feel assured unless he came personally to protect them.
Pa!Suddenly, Huo Yuhao slammed the auction list onto the tea table.
"Hmph — a bunch of trash!"
Zhou Qi stepped forward."Sir, is there some issue?"
"See for yourself. Item No. 6."
Huo Yuhao pointed at the list.
Zhou Qi picked it up, glanced over it, and froze. Item No. 6 was a female slave. His face immediately darkened.
Slave trading had existed since ancient times. Zhou Qi never cared much — he wasn't a good person to begin with.
But today was different. After all his publicity efforts these days, the Heavenly Court's auction of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone and soul ring had become widely known. Many people believed this entire auction was a Heavenly Court special event.
Under such circumstances, auctioning slaves publicly was basically smearing Heavenly Court's reputation.
Although Heavenly Court only provided the final three finale items, the public wouldn't care. The masses were often ignorant.
Zhou Qi cursed himself — he had been too focused on hype and traffic, and hadn't checked what filler items the auction hall provided. Too careless.
He hurriedly said,"Sir, please calm your anger. I will go speak with the auction hall immediately."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, voice cold."Tell them this — I don't care about their slave trade. But tonight, in Sub-venue No. 4, no filthy transaction that tarnishes Heavenly Court is allowed to appear."
"Yes."
Zhou Qi answered and quickly left to negotiate.
Du Budie glanced at his disciple and sighed."Let it go. These things happen everywhere."
He understood well — youthful passion burns hot. When young people see injustice, they always get angry. He had been the same, long ago. After seeing enough, one becomes numb.
Huo Yuhao's voice calmed."When water is too clear, no fish can live. It's not that I don't understand. What force doesn't have a few degenerates? But this is the Tianhun Auction Hall — a royal industry."
Then he suddenly sneered."This is one of the reasons I opposed the sect cooperating with them in the first place. A bunch of parasites who oppress their own people but cower before outsiders — why join them? To help them grow stronger?"
