48. Chapter 48 48: For Emperor Yanwang!


Chapter 48 48: For Emperor Yanwang!
Putting on a mask here, for the nobles, is equivalent to taking off the mask on their face.

Along the way, from time to time, nobles wearing masks can be seen touching the "female companions" beside them.

These female companions are almost all the staff in the auction house. They seem to be refusing to welcome you, with smiles like flowers, but their eyes are full of confusion and deathly silence.

In this case, the body is still alive but the mind is dead.

Even if they are "ransomed" by these nobles, they will become playthings.

There will always be a day when someone gets old and loses their luster, and there will always be a day when they get tired of playing. By then, their end may be much more miserable than in the auction house.

Paimeng looked east and west, looking at all this with some confusion. For her, this was somewhat uncomfortable.

These people all seemed happy, but something felt a little weird.

Zhongli paused from time to time, but sighed and stopped paying attention.

These women were almost all children from poor families, either because of family reasons or other reasons, and were sold to the auction house.

Although the auction house treats them as commodities, it really has a nurturing kindness for them. Although this kindness is a bit twisted, it allows them to survive.

As the God of Contract, Zhongli wanted to tear up the "contract" here for a moment, but finally gave up.

If you don't change your mind, you can save yourself for a while, but you won't be able to save your whole life.

These women are hopeless. They have no other skills except serving men and strong men.

If they were rescued and left alone, they would have to come back here in a few days.

"Xue Qinghe" saw Zhongli sighing, and the image of Jialing Pass suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people..."

"Should...could it be because of these low-level commoners that Zhongli became the Rock King?"

Qian Renxue frowned and thought to herself.

It's understandable that she would think so.

Putting aside the two great empires, even the Spirit Hall never cared about civilians with soul master potential!
If you don’t have the potential to become a soul master, Wuhun Palace’s attitude towards civilians is only slightly better than that of the two major empires.

At least they gave civilians some hope.

Qian Renxue asked herself, had she ever regarded civilians other than soul masters as human beings?

What she focuses on is genius and talent.

Without these, it would not be able to catch her eye at all.

Although she is kind, she also doesn't take civilians without soul power seriously.

"For the King of Rocks!"

“Should I make some changes?”

Qian Renxue looked around the auction house. She had only been here a handful of times.

Seeing such scenes, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

The auction house is a big project for the Tiandou royal family to make money. You know, one of the staff here starts with one hundred thousand gold soul coins!
What kind of project can make you so profitable?
The Tiandou Empire’s annual military expenses, official expenses, royal expenses, these things all require money...

The auction house supports most of these expenses!
If these projects are cancelled, the empire's income will be affected to some extent.

Qian Renxue has a headache. These problems left over from history can only be changed after she takes office.

At present, even if she breaks the truth, Xue Ye cannot change this.

The Rock King Emperor can appear, but not like in the dream, he will ruin everything!

"After some time, I must have a good chat with the guest about this issue, the people's livelihood issue!"

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue turned her head slightly and looked at Zhongli's profile. Although he was wearing a mask, he was still so charming!

Under the leadership of the welcoming lady, Paimeng, Zhongli, and "Xue Qinghe" went around in circles to a private room.

After arriving at the private room, "Xue Qinghe" waved his hand and signaled the receptionist to go out.

Although the welcoming lady was reluctant to give up, this was an opportunity she had finally fought for, but she had no choice but to do so. If His Highness the Crown Prince asked her to go out, she had to go out. "Qinghe, is there any explanation for this black area?"

Paimon tilted his head and said to "Xue Qinghe".

She observed it when she came.

It seems to be divided into four areas.

There is only one private room in the red area, and I don’t know who it is for.

There are slightly more private rooms in the black area, about five or six.

The private room they entered was private room No. 1 in the black area.

The purple area also has private rooms, but the number is much more than that in the black area.

As for the yellow and white areas, they are distinguished according to the seats, and there are no exclusive private rooms.

After hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" explained to Paimeng that different areas represent different identities and different assets.

Of course, if you only have money but no strength, and with a title, the purple private room is already the upper limit.

Even if black private rooms are arranged for them, they dare not enter. This is class.

As the prince, her private room is naturally in the black room one.

If Xue Ye dies, then she can go to the only red private room.

In the world of soul masters, the color of the soul ring is basically used to identify strength and status.

Even the divine test is still distinguished in this way.

White is the lowest and gold is the highest.

White, yellow, purple, black, red, gold.

"So that's it!"

Paimon nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted to the fruit plates on the table. She had never wanted to say anything, but after seeing these fruit plates and snacks, she forgot all about them in an instant.

"Qinghe, are these edible?"

"Can."

"It's no problem even if Paimon packs it up and takes it away."

After hearing this, Paimon's eyes lit up!
Zhongli’s eyes twitched. Don’t think about it. These fruit plates and the like will appear in Zhongli’s mansion at night!

He dared to use his name to guarantee that this would definitely happen.

Paimon is not big, but he eats a lot.

According to the "law of conservation of energy", this is very abnormal!

It’s just that Zhongli’s eyesight is better and he noticed that Paimon has grown up a bit!
When we met him for the first time, Paimon was only about ten to twenty centimeters tall at most.

Now, it's one size bigger.

It seems that she did not eat in vain after eating so many molas from the travelers.

Without Paimon, she would be bored, right?
Hey, sin, sin, who knew Paimon would travel through time with him.

"Ke Qing, what do you think of this auction house?"

"Xue Qinghe" also had time when Paimon started eating again, so he asked tentatively.

She really wanted to know Zhongli's attitude. As for the rest, it wasn't important.

"Things that are officially prohibited in the Tiandou Empire appear here."

"Of course, the adoption of orphans at the auction house has a twisted purpose, but it can be considered a good thing."
