Beauty and the Bodyguard

It was similar to an ocean creature, but it vaguely had a human shape. This was the legendary creature of the North Sea, just like the mermaids, the sea demon.

Even Lin Yi was stunned by this scene. They were attacked by this legendary sea beast on their way to the northernmost Island. At that time, their spirit sense was attacked by the sea demon song, and they didn't see the sea demon's appearance. Now, it was time to make up for it.

"This kind of auction can actually publicly auction sea beasts?" Lin Yi found it unbelievable. He'd heard from the damn thing that although the spirit beast clan couldn't completely stop human practitioners from killing spirit beasts, at least no one would dare to do it in public like this.

"Sea beasts are sea beasts, and spirit beasts are spirit beasts. These are two different things. The spirit beast clan has never conquered the sea, so they naturally won't be so free as to protect some sea beast." The ghastly thing said in his mind.

Lin Yi didn't know what to say-the baby sea demon looked like a human baby, even its cries were the same. But he didn't want to interfere-he had limited spirit jades, after all, and he needed to save them for the six forging materials listed by the king of junk.

However, just because Lin Yi wasn't interested didn't mean that the others thought the same.

The sea demon tribe's innate talent was heaven-defying, and it was destined that once they were tamed and turned into spiritual pets, they would become a powerful killing weapon. As such, there were actually many people present who had thoughts about this young sea demon, and some people immediately raised their cards to bid.

"Three thousand one hundred spirit Jade."

"Three thousand two hundred spirit Jade."

“……”

For a moment, the bidding was one after another. The starting price of three thousand spiritual jades was not a small amount for most people, but there were still so many people bidding for it. The value of the sea demon youngling was evident.

However, a voice that followed immediately shut everyone up.""Six thousand spirit jades. I heard that if you kill the sea demon Cubs and make them into soup, they'll have a miraculous nourishing effect on your skin. It's just right for you, Junior Sister Tiangang. I'll accept it on your behalf."

The person who spoke was Zheng Tianjie, the red-haired man from Nakajima.

Upon hearing this, the crowd could not help but look reluctant, but there was nothing they could do. The price had almost doubled from over 3000 spiritual Jade to 6000 spiritual Jade, leaving everyone in the dust.

None of the people who were qualified to attend the auction were from poor families, but spirit Jade didn't fall from the sky for no reason, after all. Everyone had their own budget, and it was obviously not worth it to ruin their plans for a mere sea demon youngling.

For six thousand spiritual jades, Zheng Tianjie was the one who would take the sea demon youngling. However, Tian Ji, whom he had been so attentive to, did not say a word. From the beginning to the end, his expression did not even change.

Zheng Tianjie seemed to be used to this and didn't find it boring. Tian Gang had always been a cold beauty in front of him, but it didn't matter. He had a lot of money. Today was a rare occasion to show off, so he would always have a way to make the beauty smile!

In the next few auctions, the four-Island Auction became Zheng Tianjie's one-man show. Every time, the other party would raise the bid by 100 or 200, but he would double it without even blinking.

His grandfather was the Vice Hall Master of the alchemy Hall, and he had plenty of spiritual jades in his family. No matter how he lost them, he would not lose them all. Unless those super Chambers of Commerce came forward to compete with him, no one else was his match at all. They were not on the same level at all.

"This Shan Pao ..." Lin Yi was speechless. If this guy wasn't with Tian Gang, he wouldn't even bother to look at him. But now, he had to pay attention to him.

But then, Lin Yi realized that he was in trouble. This mountain cannon who didn't lack spiritual jades was a huge problem at times.

"A ten-piece casting set. Every piece is a top-tier material recognized by all forgers. The rate of application is above 80%. The starting price is 10000 spiritual jades." After steward song's introduction, the crowd immediately went into a small climax. This was the first item in this auction that had a starting price of five figures of spiritual Jade.

Lin Yi was taken aback by the introduction-he'd already looked around on his first day here, and found four of the six materials he needed. He'd even found the remaining two yesterday, thinking that it'd be a long battle to get all of them.

All the forging materials were combined into a set and auctioned together. The six forging materials were all on the list!

This sudden change caught Lin Yi off guard. He didn't think about this strategy at all, and the most important thing was that this was Zheng Tianjie's show.

Lin Yi had 15000 spiritual jades on him right now. If it was just the six materials, it was more than enough, but the ten-piece set ... It wasn't something he could afford.

Lin Yi had no choice but to strike first."Fifteen thousand spirit Jade."

There was an uproar, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yi. They had always thought that Lin Yi was just a small worker at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but now it was obvious that wasn't the case. After all, which business would let a small worker bid for such an important event?

The crowd was still in an uproar, but there were three people in the crowd who were dumbfounded when their eyes fell on Lin Yi. These three were none other than Nan Tianba, Nan Tianmen, and Yu Zhe, the three people Lin Yi had been wary of!

With Nan Tianba's background and status, he naturally had a way to get a spot for a big event like the North Island Auction. However, they were only here to bid, so they didn't arrive early like Lin Yi and Hong Zhong. They only arrived last night and didn't know about the commotion that the Chamber of Commerce had caused.

Any normal person wouldn't believe that a grassroots newcomer like Lin Yi could come to such a high-class place. If he didn't open his mouth to bid, perhaps Nan Tianba and the others wouldn't even notice his existence until the auction ended.

"Why is this kid here? It seems that even if we didn't get anything good, we didn't come here in vain. " Nan Tianba bared his teeth, while Nan Tianmen and Yu Zhe both laughed hideously.

Without a doubt, after the birthday party, they'd shifted their attention back to Lin Yi. They couldn't do anything in the territory of the three pavilions, but here on the northernmost Island, they had no qualms about it. (To be continued.)
