Chapter 100: Chief Auctioneer Ya Fei and the Hidden Fans
Stepping into the auction house, Wu Tian immediately felt a familiar sensation.
It was like walking into a market or a wedding gift collection
A noisy and chaotic place where you were forced to spend money.
However
This auction house was even more ruthless.
At least in a market, you could buy food and eat it.
Here
You could only look, but you couldn't touch.
Frustrating, isn't it?
Of course
He wasn't talking about the auctioned items.
As long as you had enough gold, you could buy anything.
In fact
Even the scantily dressed, seductive female attendants could be yours
As long as you paid enough.
However
There was one thing you couldn't buy, no matter how much money you had.
The thing that shined the brightest in the auction house…
The moment you stepped inside, you would be captivated by it.
And that was
The lighting.
(Heh… what were you thinking? )
As a righteous Guardian Spirit, how could Wu Tian possibly be distracted by anything else?
The only thing that caught his attention was
The dazzling stage lights.
A Woman's Voice…
The auction hall was massive
Big enough to hold thousands of people without feeling cramped.
At the center of the brightly lit stage, a stunning woman in a red dress stood gracefully.
Her alluring voice, sweet and slightly teasing, echoed through the hall.
She was introducing the item in her hands
A rather ordinary artifact, nothing particularly rare.
But under her enchanting voice, the bidding price was skyrocketing.
Wu Tian glanced at the item being auctioned
And finally
His usually calm, serious expression broke into a smile.
Because
The item being auctioned looked like a sausage.
And based on what the woman just explained
Its function was exactly what he thought it was.
A Familiar Face: Ya Fei
Wu Tian and Xun'er found a quiet corner to sit down.
His sharp gaze swept over the auctioneer
And he immediately noticed something.
Most of the people in this auction house…
… weren't here for the items.
They were here for her.
Wu Tian sighed.
"Seriously? This again?"
He turned to look at Xun'er, feeling the urge to explain
"I swear, I didn't come here to see Ya Fei."
"You've been with me the whole time, right? Have I ever said I wanted to see her?"
"Nope! Because I don't care about her at all!"
Compared to his beautiful Medusa, Ya Fei's charm paled in comparison.
Yes, she had long red hair, a curvy figure, and an elegant yet seductive aura.
But so what?
Now standing on stage, this gorgeous woman was none other than
Ya Fei, the Chief Auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House.
She was one of the most famous women in Wutan City.
Her mature charm and seductive demeanor had ensnared countless men.
She had an army of admirers.
Wu Tian Remains Unmoved
Wu Tian's expression remained indifferent.
He wasn't impressed.
Seeing this, Xun'er's heart felt at ease.
For Xun'er
Ya Fei was just as beautiful as her.
But unlike her, Ya Fei had a more mature, womanly appeal.
She couldn't help but worry a little.
Yet
Seeing Wu Tian's calm reaction, she smiled confidently.
"As expected, Wu Tian gege only cares about love and responsibility."
"He's not like other men who only chase after appearances."
Her eyes shined with admiration.
Meanwhile
Wu Tian's attention shifted away from Ya Fei.
Instead, he noticed a few men sitting in the darkest corners of the auction house.
Their eyes were burning with desire, locked onto Ya Fei.
Wu Tian frowned.
He hated guys like these.
Back in his past life
He had never acted like this.
Why?
Because he had money.
If he wanted something
He could just buy it outright.
He didn't need to creep in the shadows like a starving wolf.
A "Small" Punishment
Xun'er noticed Wu Tian's subtle movements.
He wasn't hiding anything from her
Because there was nothing to hide.
Curious, she lowered her gaze
And saw his fingers moving strangely.
Wu Tian's five fingers danced across the chair like he was playing a piano.
Each fingertip glowed with a tiny, blue flame.
These flames were completely cold, without any heat.
Xun'er followed the direction of the tiny flames
And saw them sneakily creeping toward the dark corners of the auction house.
Just as she was about to look closer
Wu Tian's left hand suddenly pulled her head into his chest.
His voice was gentle yet commanding
"Xun'er, don't look."
"You'll hurt your eyes."
Screams in the Darkness
Xun'er's face turned red from his dominant yet caring action.
She didn't know what Wu Tian meant by "hurting her eyes"
But she felt warm inside.
Meanwhile
The men hiding in the dark corners were so focused on Ya Fei…
That they didn't notice the tiny flames reaching their pants.
And the next moment
The flames ignited.
"AHHHHHH!!!"
Several muffled screams echoed through the auction house.
But
Because of the noisy crowd, nobody noticed them.
Wu Tian had no intention of killing them.
Just a little warning.
However
The men in the dark were completely panicking.
One of them screamed
"Boss! This is all your fault!"
"You made us rush too much now look what happened!"
"Our hand speed was too fast, and now we caught fire!"
"How the hell are we supposed to explain this to our wives?!"
Another guy groaned
"Damn it… he's right!"
"How am I gonna face my wife now?"
"What am I gonna tell her?!"
Their leader sighed bitterly
"I… I don't know how to explain this either…"
Wu Tian: Mission Complete
Back in his seat, Wu Tian smirked.
His little prank had gone perfectly.
Meanwhile, Xun'er snuggled comfortably against his chest, completely unaware of what had just happened.
Wu Tian sighed happily
"Ahh… I love justice."
