The living corpse giggled, ignoring the host's apology. However, she didn't continue her confrontation but gently picked up a cherry-like immortal fruit and savored it slowly.
Everyone was secretly glancing at her, especially when she slightly opened her mouth to eat the cherry. Those alluring red lips, so enchanting and juicy, made everyone gulp.
The hawk-eyed host walked away, leaving behind a middle-aged man in brocade robes who cleared his throat and said, "Esteemed guests, allow me to introduce myself. I am Maddox Dudley, vice president of the Salvation Association. Today's auction will be overseen by myself."
"The time is almost upon us, and I would like to thank all esteemed guests for your attendance. Today's auction adheres to the principles of fairness and justice. Rest assured, esteemed guests who successfully bid for treasures will be protected by our Salvation Association throughout, escorting you out of town or back home safely."
