Chapter 28: Heaven Dou Auction House, Provocation
"Oh, buying whale glue, a small matter... wait?!"
Liu Erlong responded subconsciously, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes widening instantly, as if she had heard something shocking.
"You... what did you say?! What do you want to buy?!"
She even suspected that she was hallucinating.
"Whale glue."
Xiao Yin repeated it calmly, as if he was talking about an ordinary medicinal herb.
"Whale glue?!" Liu Erlong's voice suddenly rose an octave, filled with incredible astonishment.
"What do you want that for?!"
An extremely strange expression suddenly appeared on her face, and her eyes subconsciously swept over Xiao Yin's body.
This doesn't look like it... I've seen it before... It's quite big...
In her deeply rooted cognition, the word whale glue is almost synonymous with aphrodisiac!
That is something that only the noble lords in Heaven Dou City who indulge in excessive sexual activities would secretly purchase!
A man who was less than twenty years old (she thought), with as much vitality as a humanoid spirit beast, actually asked to buy whale glue?!
Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Erlong's mind instantly:
Could it be that the dragon blood body tempering damaged his body?
Impossible!
Could it be... some special training method? Or... this kid is so young...
The more she thought about it, the more interesting her expression became. Her cheeks even felt a little hot. The look she gave Xiao Yin was filled with a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Xiao Yin naturally caught Liu Erlong's wonderful changes in expression and the deep meaning in her eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Of course he knew what she was thinking, but he was too lazy to explain, nor could he explain.
Should I tell her that this thing is used to assist in absorbing the ten thousand year soul ring?
This explanation will only lead to more questions and trouble.
"It works."
Xiao Yin spoke briefly and to the point, without any intention of explaining. His eyes were so frank that Liu Erlong actually wondered if she had a dirty mind.
"..." Liu Erlong was choked by this short and vague answer.
Looking at Xiao Yin's calm expression of "I just want to buy it, you decide", she opened her mouth and finally swallowed back a lot of things in her mind, such as:
Questions like "Is there something wrong with your cultivation?" and "Do you want me to help you take a look?"
This kid has too many secrets and is so stubborn, it's useless to ask him.
"Okay... okay! Buy whatever you want! I don't care!"
Liu Erlong waved her hand unhappily, the embarrassed blush on her face still not completely fading away.
"If you want to buy whale glue, the biggest place in Heaven Dou City is the Heaven Dou Auction House.
The first floor is a boutique mall with all kinds of rare items in stock, and the auction hall is upstairs.
The address is in the most conspicuous golden dome building on Central Avenue. Don't you have a mouth under your nose? Go find out for yourself!
She paused, looked at Xiao Yin's young yet calm face, and added,
"Anyway, with your current abilities and strength, as long as you don't cause trouble, in Heaven Dou City... well, just be a little careful.
The auction house is full of tricks, be smart and don't let anyone cheat you. Come back as soon as you finish buying! The Academy still has a lot of things waiting for you!"
After saying that, Liu Erlong grabbed a file on the table and hurried out: "I have a meeting to attend, so I don't have time to wander around with you! Remember the place? Heaven Dou Auction House! Go quickly and come back soon!"
Before she finished speaking, she had disappeared at the door, leaving behind only the sound of hurried footsteps.
Xiao Yin looked at the empty doorway and shook his head helplessly.
Since yesterday, the relationship between the two seems to have become somewhat ambiguous...
-----------------
Heaven Dou Auction House, first floor lobby.
The huge crystal chandelier casts soft and bright light, illuminating the dazzling array of luxurious goods.
The air was filled with a faint scent of fragrance and money.
Xiao Yin walked slowly past the rows of counters displaying rare minerals and medicinal herbs, looking for his target.
Finally, he stopped at an area that specialized in selling marine treasures.
Behind the counter was a young female teller in uniform.
"Hello, do you have whale glue for sale here?" Xiao Yin asked directly in a calm voice.
"Whale glue?" The female teller was obviously stunned for a moment, and then her eyes became a little strange.
She looked up and down at the ordinary-dressed boy in front of her, her gaze lingering on his young face for a few seconds.
The professional smile on her face became a little subtle, as if... carrying a hint of imperceptible... sympathy?
This young man in front of her looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old at most... he needs this thing so early?
Or... does he have any special hobbies?
"Ahem... Sir, are you sure you want whale glue?"
The female teller tried hard to maintain her professionalism, but the doubt in her tone still leaked out.
"We do have them at our auction house, but the quality and age vary, and the prices are also..."
"I want all those that are over a thousand years old." Xiao Yin interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for questioning.
As for whale glue, the more the better.
The female teller was startled by Xiao Yin's decisive attitude and said quickly:
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll go to the warehouse to get the sample list and quotation for you." After she said that, she turned around and walked quickly towards the warehouse passage at the back.
Just as the female teller left, a young voice with a clear sense of superiority and teasing came from the side:
"Huh? Whale glue? I can't believe it. You're so young, but your body is so weak? Could it be that... you've been playing around too much and overdrawn your capital?"
Xiao Yin frowned slightly and looked sideways.
He saw two young men and women in luxurious clothes standing not far away.
The young man who spoke was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure, long black hair, a disdainful look in his eyes, and an undisguised sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Next to him was a girl of the same age, with a slim waist and long legs, short dark purple hair, and a pretty face with a cold and enchanting air.
Especially the pair of green eyes, which looked at Xiao Yin with interest like a poisonous snake, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.
The people who came were Yu Tianheng, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
Yu Tianheng obviously heard the conversation between Xiao Yin and the teller just now.
As the young master of one of the top three sects, he felt a sense of mockery when he saw Xiao Yin dressed in ordinary clothes and asking for something so indecent.
In his opinion, such low-level people don't deserve to be in such a place!
Xiao Yin's eyes turned cold.
He doesn't want to cause trouble, but if trouble comes to him, he won't back down.
"Are you weak? Do you want to try it?"
Xiao Yin's voice was flat and calm. He didn't even look at Yu Tianheng. His eyes were still on the counter, as if he was talking to himself.
But the provocation in those words was no less.
The sarcasm on Yu Tianheng's face froze instantly, and then turned into anger of being offended!
How dare a kid who looked like an ordinary person speak to him like that?!
"Presumptuous!"
Yu Tianheng let out a low roar and took a step forward. The aura of a level 29 great soul master was instantly released, trying to suppress Xiao Yin!
"Who do you think you are? Do you believe I can make you crawl out of here?"
Buzz!
