Evil Emperor Zun
Chapter 1212 Welcome
Chapter 1212 Welcome
Then the one who pushed the door and entered was the timid waiter girl.Through the slits of her bangs, her pair of pure blood-colored pupils are clearly visible under the light.
When she neatly arranged the dessert plates on the table and was about to explain the story of Phoenix Tears as usual, Chu Tianyao casually closed the manual and glanced at her casually.
"The demon clan?"
When the girl heard it, her first reaction was to cover the top of her head in horror: "Ah... ears, are the ears exposed again?"
Although what was touched was only a head of smooth and clean hair, but this subconscious action still exposed the fact that she belonged to the demon clan.
Looking at her reaction, Chu Tianyao seemed a little funny, and said lightly, "Don't hide it, even if you have eaten the Transformation Pill, the evil spirit on your body is still so strong that you can't even hide it."
After the words fell, he also corrected his expression and looked at the girl straightly.
"I don't care who is behind you, and I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't want to beat Fang Tianbao tripod's brains like Guikuling did before, I won't interfere at all, understand?"
The girl nodded hastily: "Yes... yes." Until this moment, she seemed to have just grasped the meaning of Chu Tianyao's words.Looking around, he couldn't help but pause on the pattern on the front of his clothes, and quickly moved away.
"Now you can introduce the lot to me." Chu Tianyao leaned on the sofa and ordered casually.
Not only was the girl surprised by this order, but even Mu Hansha was greatly puzzled.
As a temporary waiter, her professional ability can be said to be as poor as possible.Not only did she have little knowledge of the auction items other than Phoenix Tears, but she was also trembling when speaking. Listening to her introduction was not as fast as reading the manual by herself.
Just when Mu Hansha thought that this awkward atmosphere would continue forever, the jade slip in Chu Tianyao's pocket suddenly sounded.The constant ringing of the bell meant that it was an instant messaging request.
Seeing that the name displayed on the screen turned out to be Ms. Feng Boliang, Chu Tianyao was obviously taken aback.After a moment of silence, he still pressed the connect button, and at the same time gestured for the girl to leave.
The young girl bowed slightly to Mu Hansha as if she had been pardoned, and quickly stepped back.It seemed that she didn't want to enter this room again until the auction ended.
Opposite the jade slip, a bright voice sounded soon.
"Nine Venerables, are you at the Tiansheng Auction House now?"
"I'm here too! Do you want to have a 'chance encounter' later?"
Chu Tianyao was even more stunned this time: "What are you doing here?"
Feng Boliang is still playing tricks: "Whatever you come for, I will do whatever you want. They are all here to bid for the pieces of the Fang Tian Baoding, right?"
Chu Tianyao sighed: "Miss Bao Liang, when did you become so considerate of the Hall Master? Don't lie to me..."
In the last sentence, there is a touch of pampering in the helplessness, if other girls, they will definitely be immersed in such a gentle trap, unable to extricate themselves.
But Feng Boliang is a different kind, she didn't react at all, she was still joking and laughing:
"Yeah, you guessed it right, I'm just here for fun! Anyway, my father already has you as his right-hand man. If I snatch your task away, won't you have no job?"
"Well, I heard that a 'Crystal Rabbit Ear Cup' is going to be auctioned here today. The shape is very beautiful. I like it very much. I plan to bid on this one. Don't compete with me when the time comes."
After that, the two chatted briefly, and finally Feng Boliang ended the communication first.
She has long been used to this style, no matter who she chats with, she is the "queen" who always grasps the frame.
"Nine Venerables, this is a good opportunity!" Mu Hansha who was on the side also heard their conversation, and suggested excitedly, "Since Miss Bo Liang likes rabbit ear cups, you just need to bid in advance and give them to her, no? To please her?"
Although he got along well with Rong Xiao in private and was considered a supporter of the Liang Xiao Party, he still had to flatter his old boss in a timely manner.
"Really?" Chu Tianyao just snorted coldly, noncommittal.
Problems that can be solved with money and power may not be effective for Feng Boliang, he is very clear about this.
Because compared to wealth, no matter how rich he is, he will never be richer than her.She likes the rabbit ear cup, so she can completely bid for it with her own money, and even if someone gives it to her, she may not be much moved.
To handle a woman, the more she lacks, the more you have to give her. But for Feng Boliang, a proud girl who "lacks nothing", it is really helpless. No wonder so many suitors It was nothing.
……
On the other side, just as Feng Boliang put down the jade slip, she found a woman with long hair and shawls and gorgeous makeup beside her, looking at her seriously.
"Excuse me... are you Miss Feng Boliang from Jiuyou Palace?"
"Can you accept an interview with me?" She became very excited when she thought of a big celebrity sitting next to her.
The woman had just taken off her sunglasses. She was wearing a hat with the brim pulled down extremely low. She was also holding various notepads and recording pens in her arms. She was fully armed. She looked like a reporter who sneaked in.
Facing her, Feng Boliang reacted quickly, and immediately replied:
"What a vision! Everyone says I look alike!"
"How about it, do you want to do an interview for me, I've always wanted to be in the newspaper!"
The hall of the auction house was dimly lit, and even if the two were sitting next to each other, it was still difficult to tell them apart.
Feng Boliang's hair style today, a large area of her hair is dyed a warm chocolate color, and the lower part is dyed a cooler purple color, with a cool style, it is a classic dress of a fashionable beauty.
Although Feng Boliang herself has always been famous for her ever-changing makeup, her most common look is the non-mainstream little girl look.This relatively normal dress is indeed not in line with her usual positioning.
The woman next to her stared at her several times, and seemed to feel that even if Miss Jiuyoudian wanted to come, she would not be crowded with her in such a civilian seat.Muttering a few words of sarcasm, he sat back down again, it seemed that he didn't intend to waste time with someone who had nothing to do with him.
Rong Xiao, who was sitting on the other side of Feng Boliang, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.Ryoko always seems to have this ability, and the way to solve problems is always by surprise.But that's it, the days with her by my side brought a lot of joy.
He just didn't make an announcement today, so he came here with Liangzi to have a look.In fact, he was very happy that she could invite him.Although it was his first visit to such a place, even if he wanted to buy something before, he was used to going to the underground market.
However, after all, he had stayed at Tiangongmen for a while, so he wouldn't be too nervous now.At the same time, he also hopes to have more contact with the world she lives in, even though it often makes him feel ashamed.
But he didn't want to be excluded from her world, never to be separated from her by a class distinction.Even if a moth flies to a flame, he will still follow her flame and walk with her.
There is still a period of time before the official shooting, and there are still guests entering the venue from time to time.To pass the time, Feng Boliang brushed up the news on Wei Shikong.
On the current hot search list, apart from Xilingchen Jia Dafu's business competition, there is also a real-time hot spot, which is "the Phoenix family and the Fire Phoenix family are about to marry".
Although there are not many users who use microtime and space in Yaozu and Mozu, the big events that happen in these two tribes will still be on the hot search list of human beings from time to time.After all, the relationship between the three races has always been somewhat delicate, and the two major beast races still did not give up attacking the human race and seizing territory.Under such circumstances, changes within their ethnic group may also have an impact on the future of the human race, so they must always be vigilant.
What's more, this time, it was the marriage of two prominent families in the demon world.Once on the hot search, the families of the two clans have also been thoroughly turned over.The origin, history of development, historical relationship, etc. of the two ethnic groups can be easily searched online.
Feng Boliang is not interested in these boring news, like other little girls, she likes to watch gossip the most.
So what she is reading with interest now is an article introducing Fire Phoenix King Bei Zeyi.
Bei Zeyi is quite handsome.While flipping through the photos in the article, Feng Boliang also commented responsibly in her heart.
In the second half of the article, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Compared to him who is alone in charge of the rise and fall of the clan and remains single until now, his friend, the Vientiane Demon King, can be called a 'winner in life'."
Afterwards, the chapter changed and began to introduce the equally famous Vientiane Demon King.
There is no photo of this Vientiane Demon King.In addition, the process of his succession to the demon king is almost like a joke.It is said that it happened that the old demon king was seriously injured and retreated, and the queen happened to be killed by a foreign race outside, and he happened to be brought to the Vientiane Demon Realm, and then just happened to be pushed on the throne by the prime minister.And what is strange is that he is still a human race.
After all, no one saw this story with their own eyes, and Feng Boliang knew that many key parts must have been deleted.Among other things, the struggle for power in the royal family has always been accompanied by fighting and bloodshed. There is no such thing as a beautiful thing like "a crown just hit on the head".
What's even more strange is the history of marriage between the Demon King of Vientiane after he succeeded to the throne.
Looking at the Eight Directions Demon Territory, almost any small demon clan that can be counted as a name has some kind of in-law relationship with the Vientiane Demon Territory.
The author of the article even joked that the Demon King of Vientiane is determined to build the largest harem in history, so that "three thousand beauties" will no longer be a false phrase.
Feng Boliang's first reaction was, "Father's fickle status will soon be lost"?
She has never resisted polygamy.Perhaps because of the environment in which she grew up, she took all this for granted.In her opinion, if a man is strong enough, he is entitled to better resources than others.And if his wives adore him and are willing to follow him, that is their free choice and there is nothing to question.
But on this point, she also has the most say.
Once the wives marry too many, they will really not remember who is who later.And those children born to their wives, as far as Feng Boliang knows, except for some particularly outstanding ones, most of them have never had the opportunity to see the Palace Master since childhood, and the Palace Master, as the father, does not know about them at all. The presence.
If you are marrying for love, then of course there is no problem.But if it's just for the sake of marrying, then there's no need for that, right?
From this point of view, fortunately, the people around him are relatively normal... Feng Boliang thought a little funny.Whether it is Rong Xiao and Mo Gucheng, or Feng Qiwu and Yan Yueque, at least they are not the kind who want to madly marry strange women in order to expand the harem.
"Brother Rong Xiao, you are really a good person." After reading the news about the Vientiane Demon King, Feng Boliang turned to Rong Xiao with "tears in her eyes", expressing her feelings.
Rong Xiao was startled, and smiled wryly: "What is this for? Don't send me a good card all of a sudden, right?"
Feng Bo sneered and pushed him, "It's not a good person, it's because I was suddenly moved by your kindness, okay?"
The two were talking and laughing, and the few remaining lights in the hall were all extinguished.Only the VIP rooms on the second floor remained, still brightly lit.
Then, several powerful lights hit the auction stage.
The audience is dark, while the stage is like a world of aurora. The strong contrast between light and dark also creates a wonderful look and feel like "two poles of heaven and earth", which undoubtedly raises the expectations of the audience to the highest level.
The one who appeared slowly was a thin auctioneer.
He wore a wide-brimmed pointed hat and looked like a mysterious magician.Even though his hair was all tied back to the brim of his hat, under the light, his face was still handsome and extraordinary, as if it also had a kind of enchanting magic power.
"Thank you, friends, for being here today." The auctioneer began to speak.From the sound of his voice, he was just a young man.And in this voice, there is also a trace of extreme "charm", like a charming fox, pulling his audience into a vortex of depravity.
"First of all, to welcome the friends from Jiuyou Palace and Lava Hell, I will perform a special performance here. I hope that the two young friends will have a good time bidding."
Nine Nether Temple and Lava Hell!Hearing these two shocking terms, the audience was in an uproar.
The master of the lava hell is now known to the world as the Raging Flame Ghost Emperor.It would be insignificant if he was alone, but since he formally formed the "Sifang Ghost Emperor" with the Raksha Ghost Emperor of Yinfeng Hell, the Phaseless Ghost Emperor of Yellow Sand Hell, and the Punishment Ghost Emperor of Thunder Punishment Hell. Any one of the four ghost emperors has an influence second only to Tianxiao Pavilion and Jiuyou Palace, and can be called the third most powerful force in the world!
Needless to say, such a veteran force as Jiuyoudian.Combined with the "young friend" in the auctioneer's mouth, among the existing venerables in Jiuyou Palace, there is only one junior, that is, the latest promoted, but also the most famous nine venerables!
The Nine Venerables and the Lieyan Ghost Emperor, have they gathered here at the same time?It seems that today's auction is really a battle between dragons and tigers!
