Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

#153 - Cuteness can't be eaten

Undoubtedly, Xu Jiujiu's words were extremely tempting. A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone! Who wouldn't want them? Moreover, compared to other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, the Snow Enchantress, with her weaker combat ability, was easier to hunt.

However, some people remained rational. What a joke! A hundred-thousand-year Snow Enchantress possessed intelligence comparable to humans. How could she be so easily fooled? Besides, the Far North was a forbidden zone for humans. The soul beasts there were the most united on the continent, and it was highly likely that the hundred-thousand-year soul beast would attract other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Wouldn't that be a one-way trip?

If it were really that easy to capture, how could Starlight Auction House pass on such a good opportunity to others?

"Snow Enchantress, starting bid is one million. Distinguished guests, you may begin bidding," Xu Jiujiu announced the start of the auction in a gentle and melodious voice.

Huo Yuhao leaned back on the sofa, somewhat unimpressed. With the Snow Empress around, who would dare to go to the Far North to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Weren't they just showing off how long their lives were?

One had to know that the Snow Empress was naturally close to the frigid environment. With the enhancement of the Far North, she could exert more than one hundred percent of her strength. In that situation, even Di Tian couldn't do anything to her. Without a Limit Douluo accompanying them, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao had no intention of participating at all.

Just then, the Snow Empress in his spiritual sea spoke, "Human, can you buy it?"

Huo Yuhao was first startled, then fell silent, not responding immediately. Obviously, the Snow Empress wasn't asking him to hunt the hundred-thousand-year Snow Enchantress, but simply wanted to save this little fellow.

But if he saved it today, what about the future? Besides, that was a million gold soul coins! Could he say he didn't feel the pinch? Even he wouldn't believe that himself.

"Yuhao, please save it. The Snow Empress and I will compensate you with other things later," Bingdi pleaded from the side.

So that was the case. Huo Yuhao understood. So it was a descendant of an acquaintance.

The Snow Empress was not good with words, but she said softly, "Please."

Sighing in his heart, Huo Yuhao was honestly unwilling. The Body Sect's money didn't come from nowhere, but he couldn't completely disregard the feelings of the Snow Empress and Bingdi. He could only grit his teeth and accept his fate.

Looking at the soul guidance screen, the auction of the Snow Enchantress was not as enthusiastic as imagined due to the special nature of the Far North. Currently, only VIP rooms number two and four were bidding slowly.

"VIP room number two bids one million four hundred thousand. Is there anyone higher?" Xu Jiujiu asked, seeing that the people's emotions were not high, but it was also within expectations.

"One million four hundred thousand once, one million four hundred thousand twice, one million four hundred thousand…"

Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Xu Jiujiu was about to bring down the gavel, but seeing the numbers jumping on the screen, her eyes lit up. "VIP number three bids one million five hundred thousand. Is there anyone raising the price?"

… …

After Huo Yuhao participated, VIP room number two only raised the price once before giving up. In the end, Huo Yuhao spent one million seven hundred thousand to buy the little Snow Enchantress.

The ninth item was a sixty-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone. As soon as this soul bone appeared, Bingdi in the spiritual sea immediately flew into a rage, scolding humans for being despicable. Ironically, in the end, Bingdi even persuaded Huo Yuhao to bid for it. But not to mention that Huo Yuhao couldn't absorb soul bones because of his cultivation technique, even if there were no such obstacles, he didn't have that much money.

According to Xu Jiujiu's introduction, this soul bone had three advantages. First, after ice-attribute soul masters absorbed it, they could enhance their own martial soul, making the ice even colder.

Second, increased strength. The soul master's strength should be greatly improved after absorbing the soul bone. Of course, this was also a common feature of all soul bones.

Third, a soul skill that could be called top-grade, Ice Explosion, which could detonate ice to form a terrifying explosion with amazing power.

Honestly, Huo Yuhao was quite envious of that last Ice Explosion skill, but unfortunately, his purse was too shallow.

The starting price of the Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone was already ten million, which caused VIP rooms number two and four to fight fiercely, until the final price was raised to seventy million before VIP room number four gave up.

One could only say that poverty limited Huo Yuhao's imagination. Seventy million! He didn't even dare to think about it.

However, that wasn't anything. When the final auction item appeared, Huo Yuhao was deeply shocked. It was also a soul bone, but this last one was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. The backstage of the Starlight Auction House was the Star Luo royal family. Huo Yuhao never expected that the Xu family would be willing to take out a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

The last soul bone was named Emerald Black-Patterned Flood Dragon Right Arm Bone. Anything related to dragons would not be weak. In terms of bloodline, the flood dragon was the closest creature to the dragon, so its power was self-evident.

Emerald Black-Patterned Flood Dragon, according to legend, was the offspring of a giant dragon and a flood dragon, belonging to a super soul beast, and was naturally good at spatial power. There were even legends that they were one of the descendant branches of the Emerald Dragon King in ancient times.

It could basically be confirmed that at least one of the soul skills brought to the user by the Emerald Black-Patterned Flood Dragon's soul bone was a spatial skill. What ability was known to be the most precious in the world? Time first, space second.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered repeatedly, and finally turned into a helpless sigh. A hundred-thousand-year soul bone! At least one hundred million gold soul coins. Couldn't afford it, couldn't afford it.

"Forget it, forget it. If I get it, it's my luck; if I lose it, it's my fate. Anyway, even if I buy it, I can't absorb it. It's just adding to my troubles," Huo Yuhao comforted himself.

Not to mention, after thinking it through, he immediately felt relaxed. So, he began to watch with great interest as the people present competed for this hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

In fact, there weren't many people who had the strength to bid for a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. The starting price was fifty million, and in the end, only VIP rooms number two and four were competing.

In the end, this hundred-thousand-year soul bone was auctioned off for a sky-high price of two hundred and thirty million, obtained by VIP room number four, which made Huo Yuhao shout in his heart, 'Damn big spender!'

The top auction came to an end. Not long after, the auction house staff sent the two items that Huo Yuhao had bid for to the VIP room. After Huo Yuhao handed the one hundred million gold soul coin card to the staff, he began to examine the items that were sent.

First was the Mutual Heart Connection . Guard. The soul guidance screen didn't show it clearly. Now, observing up close, the two bracelets had delicate textures, engraved with complex silver runes. Each gem emitted a faint light.

Putting on the slightly larger one, it felt a little cool, which was quite comfortable.

Next was the Snow Enchantress. Since its value was not in its own cultivation, the auction house didn't introduce it in detail. At this moment, sensing it up close, this guy was a noob. Its cultivation was barely over a thousand years, but Huo Yuhao felt that it probably couldn't even beat an ordinary eight-hundred-year soul beast.

Holding the iron cage, he observed it. Seeing the little Snow Enchantress looking listless, Huo Yuhao felt that he had lost a lot of money.

Wang Qiuer also came over and looked at the little beast in the cage together, "What are you buying it for? Don't tell me you really want to hunt that hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Even for your Body Sect, the Far North is not a place that can be easily set foot in."

"You misunderstood. How could I not know the dangers of the Far North? I bought this little guy for another purpose," Huo Yuhao knew that Wang Qiuer wasn't simply curious. She probably didn't want him to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast either.

"Another purpose?"

"That's right," Huo Yuhao nodded seriously, "For example, don't you think it's very cute?"

In response, Wang Qiuer gave Huo Yuhao a big eye roll and said unceremoniously, "Can cuteness be eaten? Is that why you spent so much money to buy it?"

Putting down the cage, Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands together with a smirk, looking at the little Snow Enchantress with ill intentions, "Cuteness can't be eaten, but fox meat can, hehe!"

"Hiss!"

The originally listless Snow Enchantress in the cage instantly jumped up, its body hitting the cage, its fur standing on end, and a deep look of fear appeared in its big eyes.
