At the back, Tang San's eyes revealed a cold glint. Clearly, his heart was anything but calm.
Yet he did not act.
Because he understood that saving a single catgirl would solve nothing. In the future, there would still be leopard girls, tiger girls…
So all he could do was watch this scene in anger—powerless to change it.
Master noticed the change in Tang San and secretly nodded in approval.
Tang San's anger showed that there was still justice in his heart.Tang San's restraint showed that he understood the situation and would not act recklessly.
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached its climax, the auctioneer grabbed the loudspeaker soul tool and shouted:
"Now, the bidding begins!"
The moment his words fell, Ning Fengzhi pressed the ten-thousand increment button beside his seat.
The auctioneer shouted excitedly, "Someone has raised the price by ten thousand! Any higher bids?"
Tang San's gaze toward Ning Fengzhi instantly changed.
So this was the upright and righteous Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Who would have thought he was actually such a lustful person?
Ning Fengzhi keenly sensed Tang San's gaze. Not bothered in the slightest, he smiled and said calmly:
"These kinds of girls are usually sold to auction houses by their families for a high price, or they're captured by others. Whenever I encounter such situations, I buy them and return their freedom. If they have nowhere to go, they can also join my sect."
"I'm sorry. I misunderstood you," Tang San said.
Ning Fengzhi smiled kindly and said nothing more, his gaze fixed firmly on the catgirl on stage, looking completely determined.
Competing in wealth?
Ning Fengzhi had never been afraid of anyone.What's more, when he joined the bidding, who would dare not give him face?
Inside the cage, the catgirl lifted her head slightly. When she saw the men who looked like starving wolves, fear deepened in her eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Her brows were delicate, her oval face exquisitely beautiful. Tears filled her eyes and then fell drop by drop.
This pitiful, tearful appearance only further ignited the desire of the men present, driving the bidding into a frenzy.
In no time, the price had risen to 160,000 gold soul coins, and the atmosphere was still heated.
Zhu Zhuqing grew anxious and kept glancing at Ao Tian.
Seeing this catgirl, she thought of herself and felt a deep ache in her heart.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and called out softly, "Ao Tian."
Ao Tian turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.
"Can you help me buy her?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Ao Tian chuckled. "You're a woman. Why would you want to buy her?"
"She's too pitiful. I want to save her," Zhu Zhuqing said. "As long as you help me buy her, I'll do anything you want."
As she said this, her pretty face flushed red, but her expression was firmer than ever.
She knew Ao Tian was extremely lustful—otherwise, he wouldn't be doing that with Gu Yuena every night.
But he was also very much a gentleman. He was only lustful toward his own women and would never bully other girls.
The price of the catgirl had already climbed to over a hundred thousand gold soul coins. Such a sum filled Zhu Zhuqing with despair. The only person she could rely on was Ao Tian.
If Ao Tian refused… then she was willing to trade her own body in exchange.
Ao Tian, Gu Yuena, and Xiao Wu all understood the implication in Zhu Zhuqing's words.
Gu Yuena reached out and pinched Ao Tian hard.
Ao Tian smiled. "No problem. She's yours. But I don't need you to repay me for this."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt both joy and disappointment.
Joy, because Ao Tian had agreed to help her.Disappointment, because Ao Tian actually had no such thoughts toward her.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly startled and quietly pinched her thigh hard.
She realized that lately she had been having some very improper thoughts about Ao Tian. How had she even said something like "I'll do anything you want" just now?
At this moment, the pace of bidding had slowed. The price had reached 180,000, and many people began to hesitate.
The catgirl was indeed tempting, but paying 180,000 for her felt a bit too much.
"The distinguished guest in the red area bids 180,000! Anyone higher?" the auctioneer shouted."This is a one-of-a-kind catgirl! Miss this chance and it's gone forever. Don't you want to hear her meow softly in your arms?"
He tried to stir the crowd again.
The higher the final price, the greater his commission—of course he wanted the bidding to continue.
Ning Fengzhi maintained a faint smile and calmly pressed the button again.
"The distinguished guest in the white area raises the bid once more—190,000! 190,000! Any higher bids?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked toward Ao Tian.
Ao Tian pressed both the ten-thousand and one-hundred-thousand buttons beside his seat.
The auctioneer froze for a moment, then suddenly roared at the top of his lungs:
"300,000! The distinguished guest in the red area bids 300,000! My heavens—this is a sky-high price! Anyone willing to go higher?"
An uproar instantly erupted among the VIP seats.
Everyone in the red VIP section looked toward Ao Tian, finding his face unfamiliar.
They shook their heads, feeling it wasn't worth it for him.
This catgirl was sexy and beautiful, sure—but paying 300,000 for her? His brain must be waterlogged.
Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu remained calm, their expressions unchanged.
Zhu Zhuqing was completely stunned, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ao Tian, unable to say a word.
She hadn't expected Ao Tian to be this generous—raising the price by 110,000 in one go.
Three hundred thousand gold soul coins!
Her head felt dizzy, as if she were dreaming. The sheer amount terrified her.
At the back, the calm expression on Ning Fengzhi's face finally vanished, his brows tightly furrowed.
Someone was actually willing to spend this much on a catgirl?
Did they really have nowhere else to spend their money?
Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi, wondering whether he would continue bidding.
Deep down, he hoped Ning Fengzhi would. If the catgirl fell into another man's hands, her fate could be unimaginably tragic.
After a moment of thought, Ning Fengzhi pressed the fifty-thousand button.
In auctions, those who sharply raised the price usually had one goal—to display their wealth and intimidate others into backing down.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly once more. This tactic didn't work on him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked nothing—especially money.
He wanted to see how long the other party could keep competing. He was confident they would soon give up.
"The distinguished guest in the white area raises the bid by another 50,000! Astonishing! Anyone else bidding?" the auctioneer shouted."Such a beautiful catgirl—once you take her home, you can dote on her all night long! What are you waiting for?"
Unfortunately, the price of 350,000 made many people retreat.
Ao Tian's expression did not change as he pressed one fifty-thousand and one hundred-thousand button.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart leapt violently.
Ao Tian… added another 150,000!
The auctioneer was dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting to announce the bid.
This catgirl was rare, yes, but even 200,000 would have been the absolute ceiling. And now it had reached 500,000!
Five hundred thousand!
This was far beyond the auctioneer's expectations. After a brief pause, he began shouting like a madman:
"The distinguished guest in the red area bids 500,000! Any higher bids?"
Inside the cage, the catgirl lifted her head, her tear-filled eyes gazing at Ao Tian.
From the moment she was captured and brought here, she had already understood her fate—she would become a man's plaything.
She had been fed some kind of drug that left her weak all over. She couldn't even commit suicide if she wanted to.
At first, seeing the greedy expressions of the men bidding madly, she felt only despair.
But now, after clearly seeing Ao Tian's appearance, some of that despair quietly faded.
If fate was already sealed, then being bought by such a handsome young master at least felt… slightly better.
The auctioneer looked toward the white VIP area. From the stage, he couldn't see the people clearly, but he guessed they might not bid again.
At the back, Ning Fengzhi was stunned for the first time upon hearing Ao Tian's price.
The other party's bidding was simply too fierce.
Then, Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a smile and pressed the hundred-thousand button.
"The white VIP bids 600,000! Any higher bids?"
"The red VIP raises again—my heavens, straight to one million! One million for a female slave! That's unbelievable wealth and generosity! Will the white VIP continue? Let us wait and see!"
Ning Fengzhi's face darkened, a rare sight.
He could tell—the other party was determined to have this catgirl and didn't care how much it cost.
Ning Fengzhi had never failed to obtain anything he wanted. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.
This time, he didn't press the bidding button.
Instead, he stood up and said calmly,
"I bid 1.1 million. I hope the friend in front can give me, Ning, some face."
Even in such circumstances, his voice remained gentle and refined. Though not loud, it rang clearly throughout the entire hall.
His words were like a stone thrown into still water, stirring up massive waves.
The entire venue erupted.
It was actually Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
