The Golden House.

Chapter 54

Irving District Auction House is one of the four largest auction houses in the entire continent, with a huge power behind it and a significant position.

In particular, it has had several consecutive auctions of Fire Gems this year, and its interest in the related field has risen again and again.

It was at this juncture that the Avon District Auction House suddenly released the news--

An extremely grand auction will be opened in seven days.

At the same time, the Avon District Auction House has released a partial list of the items that will be included in the auction.

Everyone was shocked by the items listed on this list.

Each of the above, a single take out is worth a lot of money, priceless treasures, a lot of even has been disappeared for thousands of years, the world no longer have a single product of the legendary collectibles, and what's more important is that, with the habit of the auction house in the Irving area, each time the list of items released in advance only accounted for thirty percent of the total amount of the auction items.

That means ...... there are more treasures of the same level not listed at all!

What a huge financial resource that would have to be!

The word is out.

Almost immediately, all the treasure lovers, or simply hope to get rich by selling and picking up the speculators, all like sharks who smelled the fishy smell, swarmed to the Irving District, Irving District Auction House near the hotels and inns are all full, even if the opening price is too high can not be booked.

Shi An was staying at Mu Hang's house playing games when he heard the rumor.

Once again, Maio on the screen died horizontally on the spot.

He dropped the handle and stretched, then reached for his cell phone.

After talking to Zhao She that day, the other party would pull him into a group of Ability Academy's power department students, saying that he would be the first to be informed of the latest developments of the learning exchange.

Just after swiping the screen open, Shi An was startled by a screen full of message alerts.

However, since he didn't recognize all the human characters, Shi An just scanned through them hastily, and then clicked on the long picture posted by one of them.

"Click."

A crack opened in the cell phone screen.

Shi An stared at the picture on the screen, breathing heavily, her fingertips slightly white from exertion.

It's all his.

Pictures of each of the treasures above.

It's all his.

Scarlet flames flashed underneath his dark eyes, and powerful demonic pressure poured out of his body uncontrollably, his aura dark and terrifying,

The magical worm sleeping in the sun on the side woke up with a start and jumped up.

It stumbled over, "Calm down! My lord! Calm down!"

Shi An grits her teeth, "...... Thief!"

"Ka-ching!"

A second crack opened in the phone's screen.

"Da, lord, don't be impulsive!"

Black Smoke also scurried out at this moment, shivering and exhorting.

These brazen humans had not only stolen his things, but actually had the audacity to take them out and sell them in a dignified manner!

Shi An was so angry that her eyes were black with rage and she wanted to rush out and burn the group to the ground.

"It was a ploy! It's a ploy by that group of humans to try to lure you into appearing!"

Black Smoke held Shi An's left leg, and Demon Bug tugged on Shi An's right leg, fearing that Shi An would do something impulsive in his anger.

"Have you forgotten! You can't do anything rash now!"

Shi An looked down at the cell phone in her hand.

The glass of the screen had shattered, spiderweb-like cracks spreading, the dot of light underneath turning blue for a moment, flashing wildly for a while, and the earlier picture was now largely covered, with only a little of the original color block visible.

The intense feeling of anger that went straight to his head was finally suppressed a little bit.

Shi An took a deep breath, and the burning golden-red color under her eyes tightened a little.

He said, "I know, but ......"

Shi An's voice took on a little more bite in it, "I'm just angry!"

Seeing Shi An's sanity return, the Demon Worm finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It fluttered its wings and flew to the teenager's shoulder, patting the other's shoulder with its own thin leg, "Alas, my lord, I understand."

The belongings that he had saved for tens of thousands of years were stolen from him, not to mention that they were sold and divided up.

Not to mention the gargoyles who regarded treasure as their life, even it couldn't stand it for a moment vicariously, ah.

"But hadn't you previously made up your mind to go dark?"

The Demon Worm waved its two thin legs, "Those humans are thinking beautifully, they actually want to set up traps and use your things to lure you over, humph, we'll let them lose both their dragon's wealth!"

Black Smoke chimed in, "That's it."

The Demon Insect that had been gentle and small-minded towards Shi An just now turned its head and rolled its eyes at it, chortling with a bad attitude:

"What are you getting together for, step aside."

Black Smoke: "Even if the adults bully me, what are you!"

Demon Worm: "I came to the Lord's side much earlier than you, so it's only logical that you should call me senior!"

Black Smoke glared angrily, "Bah!"

The two demons quickly wrestle over who is Shi An's number one sidekick.

With all the fuss, Shi An has really calmed down.

It wasn't that he didn't remember this, but the instincts belonging to dragons took over once he got angry.

Shi An began to think about countermeasures.

He now needed to gather more information related to that what's-his-name auction, only then would he be able to get the right remedy.

Thinking of this, Shi An subconsciously reached out and touched the cell phone beside her.

Gazing at the cell phone in front of her, whose screen had shattered, Shi An fell into silence, "......"

This, this is embarrassing.

Shouldn't have pushed so hard just now.

However, after sleeping together that day, Mu Hang never came back, using the excuse that he was too busy with work and simply stayed at the Administration.

However, although Mu Hang never showed up in Shi An's presence again, he did respond to Shi An's requests,

Whether it's a game console Shi An wants or a big meal three times a day, it's all delivered right on time - but he's a stickler when it comes to ice cream, one cup a day tops, nothing more.

But now the phone is broken ......

Shi An thought about it, wrapped herself up tightly, crouched in the doorway and began to wait.

Finally, at meal time, there was a courtesy knock at the door.

Usually they basically do the same thing, drop their stuff off, knock on the door, and leave.

Out of efficiency, and because he knew that Mu Hang was a person who resented having too much contact with others, and even more so, resented others prying into his privacy, the visitor kept to himself and did not pry into anything he was not supposed to know.

But this time, before the hand could drop, the door to the room slammed open from the inside.

Mu Hang's men rushed to hold on to the packages they hadn't quite put down and subconsciously looked up.

Surprisingly, the person who came out was a strange teenager.

With brownish-black hair, clear eyes, fair skin, and a bit of soft baby fat on her cheeks, she wrapped herself up tightly, but could still see that she was thin-boned and slender.

Wait ...... wait?

...... from the chief's room?

The man's mind went blank and he froze in place, unable to move.

Only the teenager held out his hand to him, "Do you have a cell phone? Lend it to me."

His gesture was calm and unashamed, and the other man subconsciously pulled out his cell phone and froze, handing it over.

Shi An lowered her head and skillfully entered a series of numbers.

Soon, the phone was picked up, and the man's low, icy voice came from the other side of the microphone, "Speak."

Shi An: "It's me."

There was silence on the other side of the microphone.

Shi An: "My cell phone fell on the ground and broke, so I had no way to contact you, so I had to borrow someone else's."

As he spoke, he jumped upward and gently and deftly took a seat on the raised platform at the entrance to the foyer.

The teenager wiggled her two slender calves while complaining, "You haven't come back for a long time, have you forgotten our agreement? What about the promise not to renege?"

His voice was clear, with a soft upturned tail, and he was extraordinarily innocent and natural in his pouting.

There was an even longer silence on the other side of the microphone.

Shi An takes the phone away from her ear somewhat suspiciously and glances towards the screen.

That's right. It's a call.

Finally, Mu Hang's quiet voice came from across the room, "...... I'll be back tonight."

Shi An : "Remember to bring me ice cream!"

Mu Hang: "......"

His voice was low and slightly husky, "What flavor would you like?"

Shi An: "Chocolate!"

Just as the words left his mouth he recoiled, "No, no, no, it's better to have strawberries."

Shi An thought for a moment and asked carefully, "Can I have them all?"

Mu Hang's voice softened involuntarily, "...... Just this once."

Shi An narrowed her eyes happily, "Yes! I knew you were the best!"

He hung up and tossed the phone not far away to Mu Hang, who had been petrified and had gone from stiff just moments ago, and smiled weakly, "Thanks a lot."

He watched dumbfounded as the teenager turned and walked back into the room, clutching the package he had just delivered, unable to utter a syllable for a long time.

He didn't even slow down until he knew the door to the room had closed in front of him.

"......"

Just now, what happened?

On the other side of the phone, was it his chief? It can't be, can it?

Is it a hallucination? No, no, no, it's really still a dream.

He lowered his head, his eyes falling on the record of the call he'd just made, four large bolded and blacked-out words slowly emerging in his blank mind:

The Golden House.

*

Soon, Mu Hang came back.

Shi An rushed out, "Ice cream ice cream!"

Mu Hang pointed to the box on the tabletop and said, "Here it is."

Shi An cheered and quickly unwrapped it.

Mu Hang gave a slight lurch as he took off his coat, "Don't eat too fast, you'll get ice."

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm."

Shi An answered vaguely, not sure if she had heard him or not,

Mu Hang's eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes flickering away from the teenager's body as he said, "I have things to take care of, so I'll just ...... go ahead."

Shi An lifted her eyes and licked the milk froth from the corner of her mouth, "You're leaving?"

Mu Hang: "......"

"Not coming back tonight?"

Mu Hang: "......"

Shi An glares roundly, "How could you! It's obviously all been agreed upon-"

Mu Hang sighed, a crack in the solid ice of his face, "...... No."

He raised a hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and was silent for a few seconds, seeming to have some difficulty in speaking.

Finally, Mu Hang took a deep breath and raised his eyes to Shi An, his face taking on a grave and solemn look.

He said slowly:

"I apologize if I did anything ...... out of line to you that night."

Shi An : "...... eh?"

It took him a few seconds to finally understand what Mu Hang was talking about.

Shi An thought for a moment and said, "That's okay."

But before Mu Hang could breathe a sigh of relief, he only heard Shi An continue in a brisk tone, "You can touch it."

Mu Hang: "......"

He looked in shock at the calm, serious-looking teenager in front of him.

"I like your hands, they're warm, so it's okay to touch them more."

As if completely unaware of what shocking statement she was making, Shi An thought hard for a moment and then continued:

"Just don't pinch."

--The tail would get weird in that case.
