Chapter 135 When you are asking for it... Part 2
Around 9 am, Su Lin finally managed to shake off Luther"s meaty paws and dragged the reluctant guy outside of the hotel room.
They quickly got a cab to the nearby auction venue, again leaving poor little white, all alone in the room.
The auction venue"s parking lot was already packed to the brim with high-end cars.
BMWs and Teslas were, in fact, the cheapest ones among the lavish extravagant ones such as Lamborghinis and Porsches. The entire venue screamed of the stench of the rich and over-privileged.
Su Lin and Luther scouted the surroundings for a while and then stepped out of their cab. They entered the lobby, patiently waiting for the special guests to arrive.
The building"s interior was exaggeratedly luxurious, with the decadence of high-end furnis.h.i.+ngs for even the smallest detail.
The ceiling was entirely decked with crystalline chandeliers boasting a majestic extravagant appearance, under which small groups of primly dressed creme de la creme upper-cla.s.s figures were hanging around.
Surprisingly, even some teenagers were present at the gathering, probably dragged by their parents to experience the vastness of the world.
When Su Lin and Luther entered the venue, they instantly stood out in the crowd. Not that the duo was underdressed, but Luther was just too eye-catching!
He was only wearing a business casual pants and s.h.i.+rt, but his devilishly handsome face, coupled with the impeccable features, made one lose their self-respect and stare at him in a pedestrian fas.h.i.+on.
Su Lin instantly blushed under all the attention as vivid memories of the previous night floated into her chaotic mind.
Of course, she knew why this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was particularly good looking today!
They had gone for several rounds yesterday night, with each time their yin and yang energies constantly mixing and swirling.
Now that their soul cores are individually established, they are able to share their cultivation bases in this way as well. But this was only if both the cultivators allowed such a thing to occur.
Since Su Lin"s natural talent was much stronger than Luther"s she selflessly decided to share her cultivation base, refining and purifying his core in the process.
With a bit more ... cough... dual cultivation...cough... Luther should be able to establish a solid foundation as well.
And since Su Lin had already established her foundation, this wouldn"t affect her soul core.
Moreover, this was exactly what they wanted! They needed to be in the spotlight so that they can attract the c.o.c.kroaches hiding in the dark.
Not minding the dozens of eyes on them, the husband and wife pair casually walked over to the buffet bar of the reception, which was providing refreshments for the guests until the auction started.
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out to Su Lin.
"Heh... What are the likes of you doing in a place like this?" s.h.i.+ Meng"s arrogant voice caught up to them.
Su Lin couldn"t help but sarcastically laugh at their fated encounters and then replied, "Why? Are you the newly appointed security guard for this building? Why is it your business that I am here?"
What did I ask and what is she talking about? s.h.i.+ Meng got annoyed at the nonchalant att.i.tude of his ex-wife. But, an idea suddenly flashed in his head...
He quickly walked a few steps and returned back to Luther and Su Lin, this time with a beautiful blonde woman in his arms.
Without anyone asking, he loudly proclaimed.
"I am here with Angela Hissenger, she got me an invitation. Have you ever heard about the Hissenger corporations? Heh... A b.u.mpkin like you wouldn"t possibly know."
His lips curved upward in a sarcastic condescending smile.
He didn"t stop there and very daringly even continued on, "Hehe. I don"t know how you managed to get an invitation today but don"t even dream about buying something."
"This is not our Hangzhou city auction. You might have to steal money from a million guys like me to buy something today."
He mockingly looked at Luther, as his eyes clearly expressed the demeaning thoughts in his mind.
As if that was not enough, the woman standing near s.h.i.+ Meng glared at Su Lin angrily. She did not like the way s.h.i.+ Meng was casually being so eloquent with this strange woman.
Su Lin was really at her limits. She needed to teach this fellow an unforgettable lesson soon, for both of their good. Else one fine day, she might just end up killing him like an insect.
She looked at Luther who was still busily munching as if none of this was his business. He even shrugged his shoulders with an att.i.tude. "You wanted to be kind, so deal with this nonsense!"
s.h.i.+ Meng"s smile disappeared, as he condescendingly mumbled while walking away, with the blonde on his arms. "Piece of advice. Get out of here. This is not where someone like you wanders around."
He busied himself with someone Angela introduced him to, but his wandering eyes kept moving back somewhere else...
"That pest aside... What about the invitation?" Luther asked, with his eyes still on the plate of food.
"I doubt anyone here has the guts to check these people for invitation cards." Su Lin chuckled. By now, she was already bored with this event.
So far, it was all just pomp and flair! She couldn"t even detect one measly cultivator anywhere in this crowd.
"Of course there won"t be cultivators here. You might be a G.o.d, but for us mortals, cultivators are mythical beings that are completely out of reach."
"Even if this is a uber-exclusive event, you still can"t expect those big shots to show up." Luther chimed in.
"Do you at least recognize anyone from the Ninth gate here?" Su Lin sulked in disappointment.
"Nope." Luther could only nod.
Looking at his precious wifey"s face a bit down, a mischievous smirk appeared on that impeccable face, as he slightly nudged her. "At least something good came out of it."
"Hmph. Jerk." Su Lin chuckled. This fellow"s thoughts were always in the gutter!
"Let"s just get in then." Su Lin and Luther waltzed right in without anyone interrupting them.
Though their main motive for coming here was a bust, they still could enjoy the auction before leaving.
Soon a voluptuous woman wearing a red bikini, covered by a transparent purposeless robe entered the podium and started giving the introductions.
"Welcome esteemed guests. Today, we will be auctioning out a few selected precious treasures."
She didn"t dilly dally and got straight to the point. After all, these were all very important people and one wouldn"t want to waste their time.
As the voluptuous woman continued talking about the various items and their specialties, a tall Italian man sitting in the front particularly paid attention to her.
After staring at the woman"s elegant curves, he absentmindedly turned to his a.s.sistant, who was sitting next to him and murmured. "Get that woman for me tonight."
As the auction proceeded, one by one, ten to fifteen priceless treasures were brought for bidding amidst the excited crowd.
There were a variety of treasure items such as precious gems, aged herbs, unique ores, meteor chunks, and even some calligraphy scrolls.
Though these were termed precious, none of them actually held any value for Su Lin.
But people next to her thought otherwise.
The whole crowd was excitedly bidding, throwing away their money willingly.
Bored out of her wits, Su Lin kept chuckling and cracking jokes with Luther, the latter also grinning cheek to cheek.
Now that he had the back up of his almighty wifey, Luther dared to look down on other mortals.
As his tender voice gently chortled from time to time, the lewd Italian man sitting on the previous row, couldn"t help but notice his rugged handsomeness.
In fact, he had never seen a more handsome human being before. He was instantly spellbound and overcome with an urge to conquer this perfect being.
Xander immediately pulled out his phone. He noted Luther"s seat number and hurriedly mumbled to his a.s.sistant.
"Forget the woman. Get me that man on seat xx. I need him at all costs. I authorize you to use even the special forces."
And of course, as cultivators, Su Lin and Luther could obviously hear the baffling words of this unknown stranger.
Su Lin couldn"t hold her laughter any longer and snorted out. "You are in great demand hubby!"
"d.a.m.n it." Luther cursed the random stranger under his breath. I am not a piece of meat!!
After a while, auctioning of the trivial items was completed and the real SS rated item for the evening finally showed up.
The voluptuous woman ducked inside and returned back with a golden tray lined by soft silk cloth.
On the tray, five tiny fingernail-sized vials were placed cautiously, with the utmost care.
"Miracle healing elixir. 1 Billion-dollar starting bid." The woman started the auction off with her sensual erotic voice.
