Chapter 119: A new genius in the city Part4
“Please state your business.” The auction manager sitting at the corresponding counter busily mouthed the words without sparing a second glance towards Tang Yue.
She had only donned on her normal robes without any of the royal regalias. So the other party probably did not recognize her with a single look.
“Set up these 4 pills for auction. Devil awakening pills.” Tang Yue casually muttered.
She was still busily looking around here and there, enjoying the hush hush vibe in the auction house.
Everyone looked very important and in a hurry. They almost seemed as if they were up to something.
Tang Yue was actually not wrong in thinking this way because everyone was in fact up to something.
By now the news had spread far and wide and even the royal verdict was announced regarding the ancient labyrinth and special contest for it.
The entire Empire was preparing for this upcoming contest and for the chance to enter the labyrinth rumored to be a heavenly treasure trove.
So the current crowd in the auction house was somewhat bigger and wealthier than any other typical day.
“Set up these 4 pills for auction. Devil awakening pills.” Tang Yue reiterated again, slightly impatient to get things rolling.
“Hmm. I heard it. I heard it. Hold your horses.” The auction manager elf absent-mindedly replied but then he suddenly froze.
“Did… Did you just say Devil Awakening pill? And that too 4 of them?”
He put down the parchments in his hands and immediately looked up at Tang Yue, his thin elongated eyes bulging far and wide.
What was a Devil Awakening pill? How could it even appear in the open market like this?
He just couldn’t believe the words that he was hearing in his ears. He even subconsciously pinched his forearm to make sure that he was not once again dreaming about some beautiful beast girl.
“Sure. Sure. Give me. I can help you with that.” The elf eagerly stood up and leaned forward to accept the four individual vials.
His eyes sparkled as he quickly forgot the beauty who handed him the vials and looked at the pills with greed and worship.
“Cough… Cough. Are you planning to register these any time soon?”
Tang Yue awkwardly cleared her throat and reminded the elf, who seemed to be completely lost in his world looking at the translucent pills in awe.
“Yes, Yes. Sorry.” The elf bowed a few times in apology and continued with the required procedures.
Lotte who had a similar expression to that of the elf still stood frozen.
Did the princess just say Devil Awakening pill? He took a deep breath and gulped down his nervousness.
His master was simply too good at wreaking havoc and brewing commotions!
Wherever she went, trouble followed and now she had unexpectedly started a new riot in the name of Devil Awakening pills!
“Princess… Princess… Your highness” Lotte called after and ran behind Tang Yue, who had already started walking towards the main auditorium.
Just from gauging the auction manager’s reactions, she couldn’t wait to see what happens in the auction!
Pill auctions were typically held in the southern auditorium, so Tang Yue hurried over to that area.
The auctions usually began around early noon and lasted till late dusk, with the auctioneer announcing the items one by one in the order in which they were submitted.
So both the buyer and the vendor typically spent their entire day here in the auditoriums.
In fact, several noble families steadily had a palace aide planted in the different auditoriums as a lookout for the appearance of special items.
Tang Yue looked around the gigantic space filled with different races and picked a spot close to the back of the auditorium near the exit.
All the big shots were seated in the front rows and she eagerly waited to observe the reaction of these guys when her product was called out.
“Make me rich. Make me rich.” She muttered and sat down, wearing a greedy smug grin on her enchanting face, making her look even more seductive and naughty.
Her pillowy lips glistened in the dim light inside the auditorium as she licked her lips and hummed a tune, waiting patiently.
One by one various items were announced and Tang Yue curiously observed everything.
There were even several high-grade pills that were auctioned. There was one particular pill that caught Tang Yue’s attention, the soul searing pill.
It helps boost one’s soul strength and is made from the rare nether touched flowers.
“This could really help my pathetic soul strength.” Tang Yue made a mental note and continued observing. Since she currently didn’t have any money in her hands, this was all that she could do for now.
The Soul Searing pill that she wanted, ended up going for a whopping 500 gems! How expensive!
Tang Yue licked her lips in anticipation and narrowed her emerald eyes to see who was purchasing it when suddenly two familiar figures walked over to her and sat down adjacent to her, flanking her on the right and the left.
“Aha Ha Ha Ha. Who do we have here?” An old and mealy voice sounded, almost as annoying as the system’s voice.
Master Dranuk had spotted Tang Yue even from a distance and of course, as luck would have it, Marvin was standing right next to him.
The both of them grinned with hidden meaning in their glances and casually walked over to Tang Yue.
Marvin who was initially mortified by Xander’s response had now somewhat calmed down.
After that unexpected laughter, he hadn’t heard anything about that episode at all.
So he thanked his lucky stars and just like that swept it under the carpet without blowing up things any further.
He had always been on the edge unable to decide if Tang Yue was important or unimportant to the Crown Prince, but this incident made things very clear to him.
The bitch couldn’t be any less important to that monster!
So he decided to more or less deal with her on his own, rather than bringing this trivial matter to that eccentric ruthless monster. Who knows how he will react to what?!
Marvin as well was pleasantly surprised to find Tang Yue here. This was the last place someone like her, useless and poor, had any business being in.
Both the perverts grinned and immediately walked over to their unlucky target.
They had actually come here for something far more important, but that didn’t mean that they couldn’t have some fun while attending to the important thing.
Ugh? Huh? Tang Yue pulled up one end of her lips and nonchalantly nodded to Dranuk’s lecherous smile.
Can’t I have one day in peace? One day to enjoy the fruits of my labor? She sighed inwardly.
But then she turned towards her other side and noticed Marvin. Her mood instantly brightened up!
There was still one slap remaining to get that beast contract and the prey had once again willingly volunteered and walked over all by himself.
Tang Yue did not even give him a chance to say anything or sit down completely.
Without wasting any time, she abruptly stood up and shouted making her voice particularly shrill and loud.
Ahhhhh!
Immediately several heads turned towards their side.
Tang Yue covered her mouth with her one hand and used the other hand to land a fast and tight slap on Marvin’s chubby cheeks.
WHAT THE FUCK! AGAIN?
Marvin trembled as the rage inside him bubbled up like an active volcano.
“Crazy bitch. Why are you acting like this?” Marvin yelled out in shock and surprise, unable to control himself.
Tang Yue had an extremely pitiful appearance. Even tears had popped up in her eyes, making her look even more fragile and delicate.
She didn’t even bother answering him and quickly ran over and sat down in a seat couple of rows ahead.
She repeatedly rubbed her eyes and sobbed and sniffled to herself.
When a few elves sitting in the next seats curiously enquired, she nodded her head and muttered something inconspicuous as if she was deeply affected and couldn’t manage to get any words out.
Seeing that she was not up to sharing what happened, everyone left her alone and focussed back on the front stage where the auctions were currently being held.
“I will kill this bitch today.” Unable to watch her dramatic antics any longer, Marvin jumped up in anger.
“Patience. Patience. Young Master Marvin. Too many eyes are here. Let’s not act rashly.” Dranuk forcefully pulled him back and calmed him down.
Even he was surprised by Tang Yue’s action.
They hadn’t even begun the demeaning and lewd verbal onslaught they had prepared for her and Tang Yue had already reacted!
Since it didn’t exactly happen to him, he even found it a little funny.
What a useless fatso! He couldn’t even block a weaklings slap? Dranuk chuckled inwardly and pacified the angry young man fuming next to him.
It was not that Marvin was not strong enough to react, but who in the right mind would think that something like this will happen?
Why will anyone slap someone else in the middle of an auction house for absolutely no reason whatsoever?
