Disgusting Gu Xiaoxing

Just as they were waiting for the auction to begin, bidders arrived one after another.

The Gu Family Head, Gu Yongze—that is, the grandfather of Xiao Yue and Gu Xiaoxing—attended with Gu Xiaoxing, Chen Butler, and Chen Yixuan. Following behind was Huang Min, helping Gu Xiaoxing carry things.

Gu Xiaoxing looked at Xiao Yue with a smug expression.

"Petty success," Ye Wanrou rolled her eyes at Gu Xiaoxing. "Xiao Yue, is there anything you like?"

Before Xiao Yue could answer, Lin Zhiyi arrived at the venue with two bodyguards.

"The items in this auction aren't anything special. These pet eggs are decent; you can bid if you need them. I wonder what the finale will be. Do you know, Ye Wanrou?"

Of these auction items, Xiao Yue either didn't need them or couldn't afford them.

She already had lanzhi grass, and the system might give her more.

Even if the system didn't provide it, her Immortal Tier talent's upgrade speed was already heaven-defying.

spirit condensation dew was for increasing a pet's intelligence, helping pet skills advance from proficient to perfect.

At her current stage, where she didn't even have a high-level skill, it was unnecessary.

As for the pet eggs, she was a bit tempted by an Earth Tier earth-attribute one.

But once she thought about the price, she immediately gave up on that idea.

Ye Wanrou pursed her little lips. "I don't know. But no matter what good stuff it is, I definitely can't afford it."

"Do you know, Chu Li?" Xiao Yue turned to Chu Li.

She saw him extend his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

"What is it? You know but won't say? How stingy!" Ye Wanrou raised her little fist and punched Chu Li on the shoulder.

Lin Zhiyi lowered his head and chuckled. "If he won't say, then forget it. It'll be revealed soon enough."

Before long, the auction officially began.

A single stalk of lanzhi grass, with a base price of 4 million star coins, was sold for 6.2 million.

100 drops of spirit condensation dew, with a base price of 50,000 star coins per drop, were eventually sold for 7.6 million.

Next were the Earth Tier pet eggs.

Two Earth Tier medium-grade fire-attribute ones, with a base price of 6 million, were sold—one for 9 million and one for 9.2 million.

The Earth Tier peak-grade thunder-attribute one, with a base price of 8 million star coins, was bid up to 13 million.

Xiao Yue didn't know any of these bidders. She was still wondering what good item the finale would be.

The last Earth Tier pet egg was a light-attribute healing type.

It was quite suitable for Chen Yixuan, Xiao Yue thought. Sure enough, Chen Yixuan started bidding.

There weren't many healers, so no one competed with him. Chen Yixuan bought the pet egg for 4.1 million.

"That was lucky," Xiao Yue muttered to herself.

The next item was a green crystal stone, used to boost the attacks of wood-attribute pets in the Young life stage—base price 6 million.

Gu Xiaoxing started bidding, and Ye Wanrou followed, bidding just 10,000 more than her.

"Ye Wanrou, do you have a use for the green crystal stone?" Xiao Yue asked, confused. Ye Wanrou didn't have a wood attribute either.

"No, I'm just doing it to disgust her," Ye Wanrou glared at Gu Xiaoxing. The two locked eyes, competing in the dark.

"Forget it, you don't need it. If she stops bidding, we'll be the ones at a loss!" Xiao Yue felt Ye Wanrou's behavior was unnecessary.

If she were Gu Xiaoxing, she wouldn't bid on this green crystal stone.

Gu Xiaoxing probably hadn't encountered a suitable pet; she was still using that little black snake.

The green crystal stone didn't provide much attribute bonus for the little black snake; it would be better to use that money to find a better Earth Tier pet.

"8.8 million!" Gu Xiaoxing gritted her teeth as she shouted the number. She was thinking that if it went any higher, she wouldn't bid anymore.

Ye Wanrou stopped bidding, wearing an expression that said, 'I don't need it anyway, I'm just playing around.'

It made Gu Xiaoxing's teeth itch with anger; she wished her gaze could turn into sharp swords and slice Ye Wanrou into pieces.

Because Ye Wanrou kept bidding against her, she had spent a full 2 million star coins extra!

It was the turn for the yellow crystal stone. The yellow crystal stone provided a bonus for earth-attribute pets. Earth elements were primarily defense-oriented, so it provided a higher bonus to defense.

Most Beastmasters pursued strengthening attack power, so the price of the yellow crystal stone was a bit higher; the starting price was 4 million star coins.

"4.1 million," Ye Wanrou bid.

Gu Xiaoxing also wanted to mess with Ye Wanrou, but she knew Ye Wanrou didn't have an earth attribute either.

If she bid and no one else competed with her, wouldn't she lose money?

Watching Ye Wanrou make a face at her, she couldn't do anything. Gu Xiaoxing was about to explode with anger!

However, since it was a public occasion and her grandfather was by her side, she couldn't act out and had to hold it in.

With no one else bidding, Ye Wanrou secured the yellow crystal stone for 4.1 million star coins.

Afterward, Ye Wanrou secretly made a 'got it' gesture to Chen Yixuan.

This scene was just caught by Gu Xiaoxing, who thought Ye Wanrou was still trying to anger her.

She clenched her fists, thinking she must get her own back!

The auction for the Heaven Tier pet egg began, and the bidding for the night reached a small climax.

A Heaven Tier peak-grade fire-wood dual-attribute pet egg, starting price 40 million star coins.

Chu Li made his move, and two other people were bidding.

In the end, Chu Li bought it for 78 million star coins.

Dual-attribute pets of the same rank didn't have attacks as strong as single-attribute ones, but they had more skills.

There were pros and cons, and it was up to the individual to weigh them and decide what they wanted.

Chu Li got the pet egg and immediately formed a contract.

[Name]: Lihuo Red-Eyed Beast

[Grade]: Heaven Tier Peak-grade

[Attribute]: Wood attribute, Fire attribute

[Skills]: Wood Thorns (Low-level), poison mist (Low-level), Fire Circle (Low-level), Fire Sea (Low-level)

[Level]: Young life stage 1

The little guy looked like a small lion, with red fur, and its eyes were even more blood-red. Its tail consisted of three crimson snakes, flicking dark green tongues.

Chu Li was satisfied and put it into his Yu Beast Space.

The second Heaven Tier pet egg was ice-attribute, Heaven Tier medium-grade, with a starting price of 32 million star coins.

This is perfect for Ye Wanrou, Gu Xiaoxing thought, and indeed, Ye Wanrou bid.

Besides Ye Wanrou, there was one other person bidding.

Until the bidding reached 48 million star coins, the other party might have felt it exceeded their budget and stopped bidding.

"49 million," Gu Xiaoxing bid. 'You, Ye Wanrou, want it? I'll make sure you spend a few million more.'

Gu Yongze saw their little schemes but said nothing.

Gu Xiaoxing looked at Ye Wanrou triumphantly, wanting to see her frustrated expression.

But what she saw was Ye Wanrou smiling.

The host on stage asked if anyone wanted to increase their bid. No one responded. Gu Xiaoxing panicked a little. Why wasn't Ye Wanrou bidding?

The host struck the first hammer. Gu Xiaoxing was truly nervous. Conversely, Ye Wanrou was calm and collected, as if she were about to give up.

The second hammer fell. Gu Xiaoxing broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't need this egg, and even if she resold it, she would lose a lot.

She secretly glanced at her grandfather. Although he didn't scold her, his expression was also very ugly.

The pet she wanted most was the final wood-earth dual-attribute one. If she ended up bidding on this one, then there would be no hope for the last one.

The host was about to call 49 million for the third time when Ye Wanrou slowly spoke, "50 million!"

Gu Xiaoxing finally let out a sigh of relief and wiped away a cold sweat. Thank goodness—

Gu Yongze, who was next to her, spoke. "Xiaoxing, learn a little more."

"Yes, Grandfather." Gu Xiaoxing felt aggrieved. Where was she lacking? She just wanted to retaliate against Ye Wanrou the same way she had done to her.

But now, she didn't dare bid. She was afraid Ye Wanrou wouldn't be willing to increase the bid, and she would end up buying that useless pet.

"50 million, going once, going twice, going three times. Congratulations to this young beauty!" The host made the final decision.

Ye Wanrou also immediately formed a contract. It was actually a little Unicorn. Its body was white, and its mane was slightly purple. It was both good-looking and powerful.

"Congratulations, Ye Wanrou. This pet is not bad." Xiao Yue gave Ye Wanrou a thumbs up. Not only did she get such a high-quality pet, but she also thoroughly disgusted Gu Xiaoxing.

Although she wouldn't use such methods to make Gu Xiaoxing feel frustrated, she found it very satisfying as a spectator.

The last pet egg was displayed: Heaven Tier medium-grade wood-earth attribute, starting price 36 million star coins.

"Grandfather, I want this one." Gu Xiaoxing tugged at Gu Yongze's sleeve and said cautiously.

Before Gu Yongze could bid, a sweet female voice spoke first.
