It seemed that Ah-Dai's anger had dissipated, and Bing's icy lips left his, gently extricating herself from Ah-Dai's embrace, retreating to his side, still clinging to his arm, pressing her body against him. Although Bing had pulled away, the lingering scent on her body did not disappear, and Ah-Dai felt that everything about himself seemed to have changed, his entire body trembling slightly, that stirring sensation deeply stimulating his heart, his body stiffly seated on the sofa, his mind a complete blank.

  The golden waves on the stage gradually disappeared in the surprised voices of the guests below, and then smiled: "Because these five purple river cars are not easy to come by, so the price is slightly higher. The bottom price is 50,000 gold coins, please let each guest offer a price." As soon as he finished speaking, someone had already offered a price of 60,000 gold coins. Obviously, the purple river car of that light system magician was very attractive, and the price continued to rise until it was finally sold for 130,000 gold coins by a rich businessman dressed in a fat man.

  Ah-Dai finally recovered from the shock, the evil of the Ziheche and the gentleness of Bing just now made him feel a mix of emotions in his heart, unable to express what he was feeling inside. He really wanted to escape, to leave this place that had brought him countless troubles as soon as possible. The kind Ah-Dai did not think of using his own strength to dispel the dark forces. Although he hated evil, he couldn't muster up the idea of resisting it. This might be another side of his kindness, which is cowardice.

  Golden Wave invited the third auction item, lifted the red cloth, and it was a beauty. To be precise, that couldn't be considered human. Although her figure was very similar to humans, she had light yellow down on her back, her ears were pointed and stood upright on both sides of her head, and most strangely, she had a long tail on her buttocks. Her gray hair was extremely disheveled but didn't cover up her pretty face. She was completely naked, crawling in the cage with her hands covering her chest, and sharp claws on her fingertips. There seemed to be no down on her front body. A pair of emerald green eyes kept opening and closing, a collar around her neck connected by an iron chain to the cage, constantly making sorrowful cries.

  "The beastman." Ah-Dai was taken aback, looking at Yan Shi, who didn't offer any explanation, his expression becoming even more solemn.

  Golden Wave patted the cage with a satisfied smile, scaring the naked female beastman into curling up and trembling nonstop. Golden Wave declared in a loud voice: "Today's first precious auction item is now starting, everyone has seen it, and earlier some noble guests also shouted out her origin. Indeed, she is a beastman, an extremely human-like beastman. She belongs to a weak and small tribe among the beastmen - the Cat People Tribe. Due to their good relationship with the powerful Tiger People Tribe, the Cat People Tribe was not annihilated by other beastman tribes. This female cat person can be said to be a rare treasure among the cat people, and I guarantee that she is still a virgin. I think all of you are renowned in your respective fields, and have seen many beauties, but such a precious cat person is indeed rarely seen. However, I remind everyone that although the cat person's attack power is not very strong, it is still quite fierce, and she also has extremely fast speed, which made it difficult for us to capture her. Therefore, if you want to enjoy her, you must have the ability to control her. Having a cat person as a * would be such a wonderful thing! Alright, now the formal auction begins, with a starting price of 300,000 gold coins."

  Looking at the catgirl in the cage, Ah-Dai's heart surged continuously. If the previous Zǐ Hé Chē had already been decided and couldn't be saved, then the female catgirl in front of him was standing on the edge of a miserable life. In a burst of impulse, Ah-Dai picked up the signboard on the table and shouted: "I bid 4 million gold coins!"

  Yan Shi nodded at Ah Dai, who firmly nodded back. Yan Shi smiled in approval, revealing a look of understanding. The ice beside Ah Dai suddenly wrote on his hand: "Do you also want to save her? If you continue like this, it's likely to be difficult to leave this place, give up."

  "Ah-Dai shook his head and transmitted a message: 'No, I absolutely won't give up. I want to save this female cat person... what a cruel vocabulary it is!'"

  Bing let out a faint cold hum, and wrote on his hand: You can save one person, but you can't save everyone. As far as I know, the number of women from various tribes sold at auction here is absolutely no less than 100 people.

  He's stunned, yeah! This time I can save this cat person, but what about next time? Can I still save the next woman who gets sold? How can we make it so that people selling others doesn't happen again?

  Jin Bo looked at Ah Diao with a hint of surprise and said, "Alright, this esteemed guest has offered 400,000 gold coins. Is there anyone who can offer more?"

  "Four hundred and ten thousand." A bidding voice rang out, perhaps the cat person really had a strong appeal, the bidding voices rose one after another, and in just a moment, it had already been raised to over five million.

  Bing wrote on Ah Dui's hand: If you really want to save her, make a high offer, and then add a little more, the price will be raised very high.

  The idiot hesitated for a moment, then raised the sign in his hand again and shouted: "One million." The whole scene was suddenly in an uproar. In the eyes of those dignitaries, although this cat girl was a good plaything, she was absolutely not worth one million gold coins. The bidding voices immediately disappeared. After asking three times, Jin Bo pointed to Ah Diao and said: "Good, this cat girl is sold at a price of one million, belonging to the 36th noble guest." Ah Diao counted out one million gold coins from the chip plate on the side, broke free from Bing's embrace, walked onto the stage, handed the chips to Jin Bo, and said in a low voice: "She belongs to me now, right?"

  Jinbo nodded and smiled, "This cage is also a gift for you. If you want to, you can use the anesthetic to knock her out first, so she won't resist." Jinbo's words immediately triggered a burst of laughter from the guests below. Ah-Dai's face turned even more solemn, shaking his head, "I think I don't need this cage." As he spoke, he walked up to the iron cage, grasped the thick iron bars with both hands, and under the flashing white light, actually tore the cage open with brute force.

  The cat girl crouched in the corner, trembling constantly, with a fearful expression in her eyes.

  "Hey, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Come with me, trust me, okay?"

  As Ah-Dai's sincere gaze softened her body, she still didn't move. Ah-Dai let out a sigh, and the yellow light flashed by, breaking the collar on the cat girl's neck, startling her. Ah-Dai's gentle voice transmitted, "Trust me, I won't harm you, come with me, after we leave here, I'll definitely return your freedom and let you go back to the Beastman tribe." A faint white glow emanated from Ah-Dai's hand, and the sacred energy of his true qi entered the cat girl's body through her skin, calming the fear in her heart. The cat girl finally stopped resisting, cautiously approaching Ah-Dai. With a wave of his hand, Ah-Dai picked up the red cloth that had been thrown aside and wrapped it around the cat girl's body, saying softly, "Trust me." Her body floated gently back to its original seat.

  Ah-Dai's performance not only made Jinbo stare in amazement, but also left the noble guests bewildered. "Who is this kid? Why haven't we seen him before?"

  "It should be Dark Hao's new recruit, judging from his attire he seems to be a magician, but was that magic he used just now?"

  "I don't know about that, but it seems that kid's skills are not weak, so it's better not to provoke him."

  Ah-Dai didn't pay attention to the gossip of those people, holding the cat girl and lying down on the sofa. The rock let the two white-clothed girls stand up, making room for Ah-Dai to put the cat girl on the sofa. Although the cat girl's body hadn't suffered any torture, her spirit seemed to have been greatly traumatized, constantly trembling with fear. Ah-Dai continuously poured his true energy into the cat girl's body, softly saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything is over, I will definitely let you go home."

  The cat girl's big eyes blinked, still not making a sound, her body curled up in the red cloth, and the nourishment of the true energy slowly calmed her emotions.

  Bing stood beside Ah-Dai, gazing at the cat girl, and let out a soft sigh. "She's really lucky," he said in a low voice, his emotions seeming to sink.

  "Is there a restroom here, can you help her find some clothes to wear?" Ah-Dai asked Ice. Earlier when he was holding the cat girl, her trembling body made Ah-Dai's will undergo another test, he couldn't always let this cat girl be wrapped in red cloth.

  Bing nodded and said to the cat girl, "You come with me."

  The cat girl shook her head, closed her eyes, and clung to Ah-Dai's body, refusing to let go. Ah-Dai's vigorous aura and his kind gaze made the cat girl feel as if she had grasped a lifeline in the ocean, unwilling to release it. Ah-Dai was taken aback, he hadn't expected that the cat girl he had just bought would be so affectionate towards him. He sighed, looked at Bing Dao, and said, "I'll go with you." As he spoke, he picked up the cat girl again, bid farewell to Yan Shi, and followed Bing out of the hall. Bing led them to a room, found a set of white clothes identical to his own, and said to Ah-Dai, who was standing there in a daze, "Aren't you going to leave? Do you want to watch me change?"

  A'Dai was startled, and hastily put the cat girl on a nearby bed. However, the cat girl tightly grasped his collar, refusing to let go. A'Dai smiled wryly: "I won't go far, I'll wait for you outside, don't worry, Ah Bing is a good person, she won't hurt you. Once you put on clothes, you'll feel much more comfortable."

  The cat girl looked at Ah Diao with a bewildered expression and trembled as she said: "I... I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

  Bing shook his head and said, "Forget it, just stay here, close your eyes."

  The silly boy nodded, and with great difficulty, he pulled the cat girl's sharp-clawed hand away from his collar. He stood aside, closed his eyes, and after a moment, Ice's voice rang out, "Okay, you can open your eyes now." The silly boy opened his eyes to find that the cat girl was already wearing the same outfit as Ice, curled up on the bed with a shy expression, her two small ears on her head being the only visible difference from a human. Ice sat beside her, a faint smile spreading across her face. The sight of these two beauties, one sitting and one lying down, left the silly boy dazed.

  "It's time for us to head back, your friend is still waiting for you."

  The silly man finally reacted, rushing to the cat girl and saying: "Can you tell me your name? I bought you without any malice, after leaving this place, you will regain your freedom. Will you follow me for now?"

  The cat girl nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "I... I'm called Mimi."

  "Then let's go," Ah-Dai said. He carefully pulled Mimi up, and perhaps because she hadn't stood for a long time, as soon as Mimi got to her feet, her body swayed involuntarily and fell into Ah-Dai's arms. Ah-Dai hastily hugged her slender figure and softly said, "Be careful, don't fall." After speaking, he pulled Mimi's hand and walked outwards. Mimi seemed to have loosened up, her body stuck to Ah-Dai's arm as she followed him walking outwards. Behind them, Bing's eyes flickered with complex emotions, among which the most was jealousy.

  Back in the auction hall, Mimi, who had changed into her clothes, suddenly caught the attention of the Rock Brothers. Her frail appearance evoked a sense of sympathy from them. Ah-Dai sat down next to Rocky, and Mimi sat next to him. Perhaps because Ah-Dai gave her a sense of security, her body was no longer trembling. Meanwhile, Bing, who had been leaning against Ah-Dai earlier, sat at the far end, a hint of disappointment in her eyes as she silently sat there.

  The auction stage was empty, Ah Dai asked Yan Shi: "Big brother, has the spirit appeared?"

  The rock nodded its head and said, "This dark auction is really opening my eyes! After you left, several items were auctioned off, all of which I had never heard of before. None of them could be seen in the light of day, and they all sold for over 500,000 gold coins. Just now, Jin Bo said that the auction would take a break halfway through, so it should start again soon."

  The silly guy nodded and looked at the cat girl beside him, asking in a low voice: "Mimi, how did you end up here?"

  Listening to Ah-Dai's question, Mimi seemed to have thought of something, her body shook, she lifted her head to look at Ah-Dai, a layer of mist rose in her bright green eyes, and she whispered: "Can I really trust you?"

  Ah-Dai nodded solemnly and said, "You must believe me, I will definitely return your freedom."

  Mimi grasped Ah-Dai's arm tightly and whispered, "I was originally living a happy life among the Cat People. Although we are a weak tribe among the beast people, we lived peacefully under the protection of the Tiger People. The brothers of the Tiger People were all very protective of me. One day, while I was playing in the forest, a large net suddenly fell from the sky and trapped me inside. My life changed from that moment on. A group of black-clad men appeared before me, and I was knocked unconscious by their intoxicating scent. I don't know how long it took for me to wake up, but when I did, I found myself in this cage. The humans here are so terrifying! They always look at me with greedy eyes, as if they want to swallow me whole. I'm really scared, I'm truly scared. It's been several months since I left my tribe, and I thought I was going to die. Can you... can you really take me back?"

  After hearing Mimi's words, Ah-Dai couldn't help but secretly resent in his heart. This must be the work of those thieves' guild again. Why do they always have to bully others? "Mimi girl, I will definitely send you back. You won't be scared again. Go to sleep for now, and everything will be fine when you wake up." Ah-Dai's true energy was under his control, gently stimulating the blood vessels in Mimi's body. Mimi slowly fell asleep in Ah-Dai's arms. Bing looked at Mimi in Ah-Dai's arms without saying a word, sitting quietly there. Her eyes had no emotions again, and she returned to her previous coldness. At this time, Jinbo had already walked onto the stage to announce the start of the auction.

  One by one, the bizarre and strange auction items were sold off amidst the bidding voices, not a single one of them was unsold. Among these auction items, there was even the world's most toxic No. 2 Holy Water. The dark symbolized auction item made Ah-Dai's blood gradually boil with rage. Why, why would such an evil thing appear in the Fallen Empire? Can these people still be considered human? Although the Underworld Sword is evil, compared to them, it seems somewhat inferior. The most evil thing in the world should be the human heart. No, I definitely cannot let this situation continue. How many people have lost their lives for the benefit of the dark forces? In Ah-Dai's innermost heart, a seed of hatred has been firmly planted.

  Finally, the auction had reached its climax. Jin Bo's face was filled with excitement as he loudly announced, "Now, let's proceed to the final item of the auction." A pushcart was then pushed onto the stage. Jin Bo said, "This auction item is absolutely the best thing in this entire auction. Such a rare opportunity is hard to come by, and I hope everyone can seize it." As he spoke, he suddenly pulled away the red cloth, revealing another large cage. Ah-Dai and the others immediately saw that inside the cage was a young girl, a fairy girl. Her hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and on her forehead was a headband with a black gemstone that emitted a faint glow. The girl's broad, transparent wings completely enveloped her body, but because they were transparent, they seemed to be hiding and revealing themselves at the same time, making people wonder even more. Her pointed ears revealed her identity, and her pale green long hair covered her face. However, no one would doubt her beauty, for she was a fairy. The appearance of the fairy girl caused those "distinguished guests" to be shocked, and murmurs of discussion erupted.

  A'Dai looked at the Rock Brother with one eye, and the three of them simultaneously felt excited, finally finding a member of the Spirit Tribe.

  "Everyone should have seen that, right? The one locked in the cage is a Spirit Tribe girl, and she's a high-ranking Spirit Mage. Her magical abilities have been restricted by a device crafted by our esteemed alchemist, which is the headband on her forehead. With this headband and the iron chains on her body, this Spirit girl's body can be completely at the mercy of her master. The value of the Spirit Tribe's beauty doesn't need to be described further. Just the headband alone is worth over 100,000 gold coins. The starting price for this last auction item, the Spirit girl, is 10,000 Diamond Coins. Please, esteemed guests, place your bids. You can rest assured that we have inspected this Spirit girl and she has not been touched by any male."

  "The VIPs" seemed to have gone crazy, the first one who called out a price shouted out a high price of 30,000 diamond coins. The price kept rising, and in just a moment, under Ah-Dai's three people's stunned gaze, the price had already soared to 60,000 diamond coins. Ah-Dai remembered what Bing said earlier, suddenly raised his signboard, and loudly shouted: "I'll give 80,000 diamond coins!" The noisy hall instantly fell silent, everyone understood what 80,000 diamond coins represented - it represented 800,000 purple crystal coins, 8 million gold coins!

  Jinbo looked at Adai, smiled slightly and said: "Alright, VIP number 36 bids 800,000 diamond coins. I don't know if anyone will raise the price. 800,000 diamond coins once... 800,000 diamond coins twice..."

  "Wait, I'll offer 100,000 diamond coins." A hoarse voice came from the corner, and Ah-Dai's three gazes involuntarily turned in that direction. The person was shrouded in shadows, making it impossible to see his face, but Ah-Dai vaguely felt a sense of threat emanating from him. 100,000 diamond coins - this was already an unaffordable price for Ah-Dai and the others, but facing the Elf girl, they had no choice but to go all out. Ah-Dai hesitated for a moment, then bent down, turned his back on Bing, and quietly recited the incantation of the Dragon's Blood. Under the soft blue glow, he retrieved the giant serpent tendon from Tian Gang Mountain. Ah-Dai concentrated his energy to its peak, using the sharpness of life transformation to cut off about five zhang (16.5 meters) of the tendon. He shouted loudly: "I'll offer 90,000 diamond coins plus a piece of the giant serpent tendon!" Although he wasn't clear on the value of the tendon, according to Tian Gang Sword Saint, its toughness was absolutely no less than that of Xuan Iron.

  Jin Bo's eyes widened, he clearly knew how much money Ah Dai and his friends had. When he heard the price of 100,000 diamond coins, he thought they would definitely give up, but unexpectedly, Ah Dai actually offered this price. He furrowed his brow and said: "No. 36 VIP guest, our auction only accepts cash, I'm not sure how much your snake tendon is worth."

  The foolish Ah Diao carefully placed the cat girl on the sofa, stood up, and raised the giant snake tendon in his hand, saying: "I don't know how much this snake tendon is worth, but I can solemnly tell you that its toughness is something that no one present can break." After finishing speaking, he flew onto the auction stage, standing beside the cage holding the spirit girl, and said in a low voice: "This spirit girl is someone I must obtain. If anyone can offer a suitable price, I can sell this snake tendon to him on the spot. The starting price is 10,000 diamond coins."

  Someone below the stage asked: "Who can prove that the snake tendon in your hand is from a giant python, which is only a legendary creature?"

  "Ah-Dai furrowed his brow and said: 'I guarantee with my reputation that this snake tendon is absolutely from a Wan-Zai giant python.'"

  "Who believes your nonsense, how much is reputation worth?"

  "I believe what he's holding is indeed the tendon of a giant serpent." A figure stood up from among the VIPs, and Ah-Dai looked closely to see that it was none other than Mibo, the high-ranking alchemist who had been present at the Sacred Hall earlier. Mibo let out a loud shout, silencing the murmurs of discussion, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sure everyone here knows me, Mibo. The magician on stage is an elder of the Magician's Guild, and I believe that with his status, he absolutely wouldn't speak deceitful words. Elder, I'll offer two hundred thousand diamond coins to buy this tendon from you. I think it would be quite suitable for refining equipment."

  A'Dai smiled slightly and nodded at Mi Bo. After hearing Mi Bo's words, the dignitaries below couldn't help but feel suspicious. Mi Bo was a regular at auctions, and everyone here knew that alchemists had the sharpest eyesight. Everything he had bid on in the past was a masterpiece. When he placed his bid, someone immediately followed suit, and the price skyrocketed to 30,000 diamond coins before being bought by a wealthy merchant. As the merchant took the giant serpent tendon from A'Dai's hand, which looked like a white thread, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Is this thing really worth that much money?"

  The idiot gazed out at the puzzled expression on his face and chanted, "Fire elements that fill the heavens and earth! Grant me your warm power, condense into a ball, and appear in my hand." A dark blue fireball appeared in Ah-Dai's hand, and the scorching temperature immediately caused the wealthy merchant to retreat several steps. Ah-Dai said, "The temperature of this fireball is extremely high, watch closely." He stretched out his right hand holding the fireball and walked towards the cage containing the spirit girl, who instantly curled up into a ball like the cat woman before, trembling nonstop. Ah-Dai controlled the fireball to fly up, rapidly colliding with the iron cage, and with a "whoosh" sound, the fireball actually passed through an iron bar as thick as an arm, which quickly melted into a pool of molten iron. Ah-Dai walked back to the wealthy merchant's side, took back the snake tendon in his hand, and tossed it towards the fireball in his hand, but it seemed like the fireball didn't have any temperature at all - the snake tendon gently floated onto Ah-Dai's palm, without any signs of damage.

  The rich merchant widened his eyes and said, "Is it really that divine?" Ah-Dai extinguished the fireball in his hand and tossed the snake tendon to the rich merchant. The residual scorching temperature on the snake tendon made the rich merchant let out a loud cry, but he was filled with joy in his heart, clearly very satisfied with this snake tendon. Mi Bo below the stage was also extremely surprised, earlier Ah-Dai had used just an ordinary fireball technique and seemed to have not even used his full strength, yet its power was enormous, its temperature already exceeding his own level, and he couldn't help but feel some regret in his heart, wondering why he hadn't persisted in bidding for this snake tendon.

  "Ah-Dai turned to Jinbo and said: 'I've added another 300,000 diamond coins. Now I'm offering a price of 1,200,000 diamond coins for this spirit girl.'"

  Golden light gazed at Ah Diao, the latter's performance had brought him a great shock. "Alright, guest number 36 has offered 1.2 million diamond coins, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The hoarse voice didn't sound again, and Ah Diao finally successfully obtained the spirit girl. He walked up to the iron cage, just like when he took away the cat girl earlier, and with both hands, he pulled the iron cage into a distorted shape, saying to the spirit girl: "Follow me, I won't harm you."

  The elf girl suddenly raised her head, revealing a delicate and refined face. She seemed much calmer than the cat girl before, with a hint of anger in her eyes. Ah-Dai let out a soft sigh, and the yellow fur on his body fluttered slightly. The iron chains on the elf girl's hands and feet all disappeared. Jin-Bo leaned over to Ah-Dai and said, "Honored guest, you've removed all her restraints. She'll definitely run away."

  He grunted and ignored him, crawling into the cage with one hand reaching out to grab the elf girl. The space inside the cage was very small, and although the elf girl was no longer bound by iron chains, how could she possibly dodge Ah-Dai's grasp? She closed her eyes, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a lightness throughout her body, as if everything had changed, and her previously suppressed spiritual energy began to surge back up rapidly. She opened her eyes abruptly, only to find that Ah-Dai hadn't grabbed onto her body; instead, he was holding the headband that had been on her head. Ah-Dai's eyes flashed with anger, and the headband in his hand contained a powerful magical energy. Under the gaze of Jinbo and the elf girl, Ah-Dai grasped the headband tightly in both hands and crushed it with a burst of force, causing powder to continuously spill out from his hands as the headband disappeared.

  The elf girl had forgotten that she had recovered her abilities and could now use her elven magic to attack, staring blankly at the tall youth in front of her, unsure of what to do.

  "Ah, you, you've ruined the headband! This spirit can cast magic!"

  A'Dai coldly stared at Jinbo, pulled out the crystal clear green spirit bracelet from his bosom and handed it to the spirit girl, saying: "Do you recognize this?"

  The elf girl saw the Elf Ring and suddenly her eyes shone brightly, that familiar natural energy deeply stimulating her. Like a child who has left their parents finding home, her own people had not abandoned her, finally coming to rescue her. She rushed into Ah-Dai's arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Ah-Dai held her slender body, under the gaze of everyone, returned to the side of Rock Brother, picked up the cat girl from the sofa, took a deep look at Ice beside him, and said in a low voice: "Let's go." Before Jinbo and the other guests could react, they had quickly left the hall, walking down the stairs.

  Ying sat quietly on the sofa, not moving, her hands trembling constantly. Jinbo walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Miss Bing, what's wrong?" Ying's status in front of the master was much higher than his, he didn't dare offend her easily.

  Her body shook, she stood up and said in a cold voice: "Where is the master?"

  Jin Bo hesitated and said, "The master has returned to the city lord's mansion. He should be around the Night Association now. You also know that those people were very important to the master earlier, so he might have gone to deal with them now."

  A glint of cold light flashed across Bing's eyes, but he didn't say anything and turned around to walk away.

  Out of the auction hall, Ah-Dai discovered that Bing hadn't followed him, and he couldn't help but feel a little downhearted. However, having successfully rescued the spirit girl, his mood was excellent. He tightly hugged the two delicate bodies in his arms, and under the protection of the Rock Brothers, they quickly left the Dark Night Club. Ah-Dai's mind, now clearer than before, clearly understood that behind the Dark Night Club must be hiding a massive power. Only by thoroughly leaving Black City could the spirit girl and Cat Girl Mimi truly obtain safety. But could they really leave so smoothly?

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone for their support of Shan Liang's Death God all along. I have worked hard to create a new work, "Only I Am the Immortal", which is even better than this book. I hope you can go and support it. At the same time, I also hope that you will give the recommendation votes you gave to this book to "Only I Am the Immortal". The update of the new book will be at least as frequent as this one. I think everyone should believe in my abilities by now.
