My Goddess is Good at Pretending

54  Uninvited Guest

Hundreds of people talked about the fox sisters, but Yuuki and Ely ignored them and headed straight for the auction house.

Experts from prominent clans and renowned sects were already present in the auction house, including the two holy lands.

"Who would have thought you would come straight to this auction house. Do you also want to win that Super-tier healing potion?" The hunk brown bear crossed his arms, blocking the entrance.

His four bear brothers stood beside her as if they had formed a bear wall to block the fox sisters from entering.

"Who are they? Are they the auction house's bodyguards or staff?" Ely pointed to the five muscular bear-kin in front.

"They are that Fiery Bear's underlings. We arrived quite late, and the major forces gathered inside." Yuuki spoke in a whisper-like voice.

"!" The brown bear frowned. That shadow fox dared to treat him and his bros for auction house workers?

"Oh, then what did they do by blocking the entrance? Can we push them away?" Ely lost interest.

Those bears' cultivation base was only at 4th Rank, and they were servants in that sacred land. Since they weren't the auction house's staff, wasting time was unnecessary.

"As your wish, little sister." Yuuki understood the meaning. She then made a simple swipe hand movement, and those bears were thrown aside.

"Argh, I froze! Murder!" The black bear screamed as half of his body was frozen by the cold qi.

"Just melt it, and you will be safe. Your Great Elder even needs careful consideration before offending me, and who are you to confront me?" Yuuki threw several sharp ice blades, and they landed near the terrified bears' groins.

Two of the five bears fainted on the spot due to mental pressure, and the rest immediately apologized. They never expected the snow fox to attack them publicly when the Great Elder Grieved Panda and the other elders were inside.

However, those people did not even come out for them, though they were ordered to guard near the entrance...

After the fox sisters and their beautiful servants entered the auction house, people outside returned to their senses. Such a terrifying dominance.

That legendary nine-tailed snow fox was rumored to be a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert. Those bears were the servants of the sacred land, but they were no more than pebbles in that snow fox's eyes.

From that exchange, everyone realized that the fox sisters were unafraid to provoke a holy land openly!

'They're still trying to test the waters?' Jophiel sent telepathy to her sisters with the talisman.

'What can we expect? A grand event is about to happen, but those small fries are nothing more than disposable pawns.' Uriel softly snorted from behind her veil.

'Master is wise. Everyone dances on her palm.' Remiel looked at her master's back with sparkling eyes.

"Achew..." Ely's nose tickled from the dust, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Are you okay? Did you catch a cold, perhaps?" Yuuki thought Ely wouldn't get sick, but she was still clueless about Ely's condition.

"No, I just sneezed. Thanks for asking, but I'm fine." Ely replied with a bright smile to reassure the worried Yuuki.

The auction house's staff then confronted them to check visitor tickets. Ely showed her VIP ticket, and an attendant immediately guided them to the VIP room.

"They sure aren't afraid of trouble, huh..." Bai Yuchen muttered softly in the waiting hall when he saw the fox sisters going to the VIP room upstairs.

They were oblivious to his presence there, but he didn't want them to notice him.

"What are you looking at, boy? Are you mesmerized by those vixens' beauty too?" The nearby cat girl pursed her lips as she pinched her friend's arm.

"Ouch, what are you doing, Hua Rong? Beauty is easy to attract attention, and it doesn't hurt to have a look." Bai Yuchen rubbed his arm. It was really hurt.

This new friend is fond of responding to various kinds of physical abuse. If she wasn't the considerate person who helped him, he wouldn't want to associate with her all this time.

Well, but she was a pretty cat girl. So, he didn't suffer a loss even though this cat girl was sometimes ridiculous.

"But, those fox sisters are really unfortunate." Hua Rong sighed and looked at the stairs with pity.

"What do you mean?" Bai Yuchen frowned.

"I heard many old monsters want them as their furnaces, and the fox-kin race is almost extinct. And here are two legendary nine-tailed foxes. Do you think that the major forces and many foreign experts gathered in this city just for the auction's items?" Hua Rong pointed her dainty finger at her eyes, then pointed at several suspicious people around the hall.

"The fox sisters have fallen into a trap? Then-" Bai Yuchen's complexion paled instantly.

"Don't try to do anything ridiculous. It's way beyond your capabilities. My clan won't be able to help you if you provoke those old monsters just for those fox sisters. Your lives are at stake. I've seen the legendary nine-tailed fox, and I'm satisfied. Come go to our bidder seat and win some good items." Hua Rong pulled her friend's arm, or rather, she was dragging him away.

"Hmm, they dare not pull a trigger or make any move? Too bad then." Yuuki muttered softly as they arrived at their VIP room without a hitch.

"They will wait until the event is over. Despite all the risks involved, we will have many powerful experts on our good side." Ely looked at the auction hall through the glass wall.

She was somewhat surprised that more than a dozen powerful experts above the 5th Rank had a favorability of over 50%. There was even an Emperor and a Demi-God with 70% favorability.

"Esteemed guests, you can place your bid with that bidder tool. The room's glass can see out, but not the other way around. Your privacy is safe here." The staff gave a little guidance.

"Good, you can leave now." Jophiel opened the door and asked the staff to leave.

Once the outsider went out, Jophiel let out a soft sigh. She and her sisters were always out shadowed by their master and Yuuki regardless. The fox sisters' presence was too bright, but to think those random people harbored some malicious intent was really irritating. She couldn't wait to see them suffer.

"You can bid whatever you want." Ely pointed at the bidder tool as she sat comfortably on the soft couch next to Yuuki.

"Mkay~" Remiel replied with a salute.

A few moments later, the auction started, and Ely's disciples observed the items to be auctioned. They thought at least one or two things would catch their attention, but the reality said otherwise.

What was auctioned in the event's first half could be considered trash or even super trash. Their master's failed product was even more impressive than those things.

Because of that, the auction event quickly became bland.

The Guardian of Dream has dozens of auction houses in the Human Realm. Their master also often entrusted some fantastic products to be auctioned every month. However, most of those products were won by the people from Guardian of Dream themselves.

Ely's disciples would not be easily impressed by the so-called precious treasures because their standards differed from those out there.

"Huu... Huu..." Ely's soft breath sounded melodious in Yuuki's ear.

Ely was currently asleep because the auction did make her sleepy. After all, she wasn't there to bid anything but to wait for someone to bring money to her.

"..." Yuuki glanced to the side. Ely's head was on her shoulder, and Ely also hugged her arm.

This carefree girl fell asleep amid danger after putting all the chess pieces in a place to clash...

Once the auction event was over, it was apparent there would be countless experts blocking them from leaving. However, to be this relaxed at knowing that Ely had prepared everything. As expected of the one whom she respected.

*Knock* *Knock*

Someone knocked on the door from outside, but Yuuki didn't feel it was staff because she could feel a familiar breath and cold qi on the other side.

It was a person from Frozen Could Immortal Palace.

However, Yuuki felt astonished because there wasn't a bit of negative emotion or hostility from the other party.

The other party was only a Nascent Soul Realm expert. The most apparent aura from that person was anxiety and worry, but why did Frozen Cloud's people feel like that?

Regardless, Yuuki revoked the room's barrier and opened the door for the guest to enter.

"Please excuse me. I came alone to speak in peace. Please be merciful."

The clear and tender voice came from the entrance.

The uninvited guest? Ely's disciple immediately turned to the Frozen Cloud's people who dared to come here alone.

"I didn't expect you to come directly to us alone, Front Cloud's holy saintess. Did Palace Master instruct you to do this?" Yuuki moved her finger, and the door immediately closed, and the room was sealed in the barrier again.
