Chapter 50

She wore a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her extremely alluring. Her golden waterfall of long hair and slightly blue eyes indicated that she had foreign blood, likely being a mixed-race individual.

She walked onto the stage, faced the crowd, and bowed slightly, giggling, "I am Paniel, the auctioneer of the Xie family auction house. If you are regulars, you must know me. If not, it's not too late to get acquainted now."

Laughter erupted from the audience, indicating that many were familiar with Paniel.

"Let's skip the pleasantries. I know you're all here to see the items, not me."

Someone in the crowd called out, "Paniel, I paid the entry fee to see you."

Paniel giggled, gave him a flirtatious wink, and blew a kiss, shouting provocatively, "If you pay a hundred times the entry fee, you might be able to take me to your bed!"

The noise in the room grew louder, and the crowd's excitement was palpable.

Paniel smiled smugly, "I hereby declare the Xie family auction officially open!"

She clapped her hands, "Alright, let's take a look at our first item."

She gave an order to the audience, and a dozen burly men carried out a large cage covered with a black cloth. The cage was about ten feet square, quite large.

"Is there a monster inside?"

Someone next to Chen Feng whispered a guess.

His companion replied, "It should be, and it looks pretty big."

The cage was carried up, and Paniel lifted the black cloth, causing the crowd to gasp in amazement.

It turned out that the cage did not contain a monster but a person, a tremendously strong giant.

He was clearly of a different race, standing about three meters tall, with a body as black as charcoal. His muscles were robust and solid, each one like a piece of steel! His physique was extremely strong and well-built, and his arms were probably twice as thick as Chen Feng's waist.

He was naked except for a piece of cloth around his waist. He stood in the cage, motionless and expressionless.

"This is a member of the Red Flame Tribe from the Southern Barbarians of our Great Qin! The Red Flame Tribe is born with immense strength and is incredibly fierce. Once they reach adulthood, they have the strength of the Second Rank of the Later Heaven stage!"

"This man has the strength of the Fifth Rank of the Later Heaven stage, and he has been specially trained by the Xie family to be extremely obedient and very compliant! He will not resist even if you ask him to commit suicide."

She finished speaking and threw a short sword into the cage, shouting, "Satululu, stab your thigh."

Satululu picked up the short sword and stabbed his thigh fiercely.

He was merciless, and a bloody hole immediately appeared in his thigh, with blood gushing out.

"Did you see that!" Paniel called out loudly, "If you buy him, you will have a loyal and powerful bodyguard! A Fifth Rank Later Heaven bodyguard!"

"What are you waiting for? Start bidding!"

"The Fifth Rank Later Heaven Red Flame Tribe warrior, Satululu, starting bid: ten medium-grade spirit stones!"

Paniel enthusiastically stirred up the atmosphere.

Her efforts were not in vain, as many were very interested.

Fifth Rank Later Heaven warriors were not uncommon in White Stone City; many outstanding young members of noble families could reach this level by their mid-twenties. However, strong warriors have their pride, and few would work as bodyguards. Even fewer would be so obedient that they would not resist being asked to commit suicide.

Moreover, having such a large, muscular man as a bodyguard would be a matter of prestige wherever one went.

Soon, the bidding became intense.

In the end, a forty-something seductive woman bid sixty-seven medium-grade spirit stones for Satululu.

"Congratulations, Lady Su!" Paniel giggled, hinting, "Satululu is the strongest warrior of a Red Flame Tribe. He is strong in every aspect, whether on the battlefield or in bed! After you buy him, he will have a lot to do."

"Have you tried him?" Lady Su teased.

"Look what you're saying, am I that kind of person?" Paniel feigned a hurt expression.

Lady Su giggled, "I think you are."

Soon, over a dozen items were auctioned off.

There were slaves, monsters, rare metals like purple sand copper for forging weapons, and pills for strengthening one's foundation, but none of what Chen Feng and his companion were looking for.

Han Yuer was a bit anxious, and Chen Feng whispered to reassure her, "Senior Sister, don't worry, there's still a long way to go. This is just the first fifth. Didn't Xie Dongshan say there are a hundred items in total?"

Before he finished speaking, Paniel had already brought out another item, announcing, "The next item is the extremely rare venomous fang of a Black Blood Snake!"

Chen Feng's spirits lifted; it was finally his turn, and he wondered how much it would sell for.

"Why is this item so valuable? Let me explain in detail, esteemed guests!"

"First, Black Blood Snakes are very difficult to catch, so all parts of a Black Blood Snake are very valuable and rare."
