Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 556: Chapter 556. Learning how the room works. Talk about the Fu Clan.

The auction for the first day started, and the screens' sound spread in the room.

Yasenia heard the one-hundred-plus voices at the same time and frowned. "So noisy."

Carbira fumbled with the jade pointer and touched a few symbols. Then, the room became silent one more time.

Hanna asked after getting startled by the loud and convoluted sound. "What was that?"

Carbira laughed, feeling a bit embarrassed. "S-Sorry, Lady Yasenia. I forgot to mute the screens. Here, this is the manual for the pointer."

Yasenia took it and read it in a few seconds.

"I see."

She passed it to the others in case they wanted to read it.

After grabbing it and inserting her energy, Yasenia began to use it proficiently, opening the channels individually. She even tried to bid for an item a few times to see how it worked. It was an initial bid, so they were surpassed shortly after.

The auction house seemed to know that the people in the VIP rooms might have a few problems, so the first items were all useless for the big players.

Carbira reminded her. "Lady Yasenia, remember that if a screen lights up, it means one of the items you signed yourself for is being sold there.

Yasenia nodded, and her eyes moved around quickly, reading the different treasures on display. '[Lost Ice Herb], [Steel Slicing Sword], [Forlorn Song]...'

Yasenia read and used the pointer to see the auctioneer's explanation for the item before starting the auction to understand what they did.

'I have plenty of those. The sword is really weak. That's a musical paper sheet...'

She commented. "Do any of you see anything interesting?"

Hanna pointed at one thing, and Yasenia read it. "[Smooth Feather Brush] ..."

Yasenia chuckled and asked. "Do you want it?"

Hanna nodded quickly.

The item was a brown brush with three lengths and widths. The teeth of the brush were not solid, and they looked like they could sink deep inside the feathers and caress them from the root to the tips.

She activated the volume for that one screen and heard the male auctioneer's voice. "We have a gentleman here offering nine hundred low-level Parus. Oh? Do I hear nine-fifty?"

Yasenia bid. The auctioneer blinked and smiled. "The VIP guests increase the price to a middle-level Parus!"

The people in that room stopped speaking, and after four times, Yasenia won the brush.

Hanna giggled happily. "I broke mine two days ago and wanted to buy one. Thanks Matriarch!"

Yasenia nodded with a smile.

Tatyana commented. "Well, everything is set up quite nicely. How do you do the delivery, Carbira?"

Carbira answered. "There are workers that will come-."

*Knock.* *Knock.*

"Oh? Speaking of them, here they are."

Hanna stood up and opened the door. The boy behind didn't expect to come face-first with a naked woman and blushed. "H-Here, respectful guest."

Hanna picked the brush and gave a playful wink to the young-looking man.

She went back inside while closing the door with a little laugh.

Yasenia chuckled. "Did you have to tease that boy?"

Hanna smirked. "He was a bit cute, so I couldn't resist myself~."

Yasenia pondered and asked. "Do you want me to brush your feathers? We are doing nothing either way."

Hanna's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Yasenia nodded. "It's not a problem if this doesn't mean something strange like marriage for you."

Hanna laughed and sat on the floor between Yasenia's legs. "Nothing like that, Matriarch. Thank you~."

Yasenia was about to brush when she felt Cecile's wing touching her back 'involuntarily.'

Smirking because of the cute gesture from her sweetheart, Yasenia transmitted their connection. 'This brush is too low quality for your feathers, love. If I see an Earth-ranked one, I'll buy it.'

Cecile's lips moved into a thin smile.

While grooming Hanna's feathers, time went by quickly.

After a while, Yasenia saw one of the screens lit up. They all looked over and saw that it was the pen Cecile wanted before.

The sound from that screen was activated, and Yasenia paid attention to the volume since Hanna was half-asleep in comfort, leaning on Yasenia's lap.

"Now, we will sell this [Treasure Golden Pen]. A famous artisan made it for her deceased husband, and its value starts at two mid-level Parus with half a medium Parus of minimum increment. The quality is high-level Magic rank, begin!"

"I offer two Parus!"

"Two and a half!"

"Three!"

"Five!"

The price kept increasing until it was seven and a half mid-level Parus.

Yasenia tapped the screen and wrote a ten.

"Oh? A VIP room has bid ten mid-level Parus! Anyone who wants to increase it anymore?"

"Eleven!"

Yasenia looked over and saw a middle-aged man in the crowd of that room lifting his hand.

With a snort, Yasenia drew a twenty in the table.

"The VIP room increases the value to Twenty Mid-level Parus, paying ten times more than the original price! As expected of our VIPs, they are all mighty!"

Carbira frowned. "Isn't that too much for a pen?"

Yasenia leaned back and brushed the tips of Hanna's arm-wing calmly and softly. "What are twenty mid-level Parus? A thousand make a High-level Parus, and a thousand of those make a Flawless Parus. I have thousands of Flawless Parus. If I wanted to, I could buy a common apple for a mid-level Parus and would not notice it. It's just a drop in the bucket."

Carbira nodded. "Well, you are right."

"Twenty going once, twenty going twice, twenty going three times... Twenty going four times, sold to the VIP room!"

Yasenia suddenly realized one detail she ignored previously. 'Hm? Four calls?'

Tatyana commented. 'That's different from our continent. Take it into account.'

Yasenia nodded. 'I will.'

There was a knock on the door a few minutes later.

Hanna stood up and opened the door with a groggy disposition and flushed cheeks because of the scent while being so close to Yasenia.

"We are here to give the [Golden Treasure Pen]-. Um..."

Hanna took the box and smiled languidly. "Thank you."

Then, she closed the door and gave the box to Yasenia, leaving behind another blushing employee.

Cecile asked as she watched Hanna sprawl over Yasenia's lap again. "Are all items sent directly after being bought."

Carbira nodded. "Yes, the VIP room is supposed to be anonymous. But the auctioneer has the room number."

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "Anonymous? But your way of speaking tells me otherwise. Are you hiding something, little Carbira?"

Carbira was a bit flustered but finally relented. "Well, you can pay to know who is in another room. The price is high, so it has no meaning unless it is a rich power or you have a particular enmity toward another power."

Yasenia asked. "Will the rooms change for the following days?"

Carbira shook her head.

'Ho? So, if someone has a beef with another person or wants to know the person that bought a specific item, they can pay for it.'

Yasenia frowned. 'This isn't very secure.'

Tatyana sneered. 'This kind of business choice is not clever. One day, they'll hit an iron plate after they reveal something about someone they shouldn't.'

Yasenia nodded and got thoughtful. 'Should I keep my relation with the Brilliant Auction House? I thought the leader was clever, but they appear greedy.'

Yasenia asked. "So, how much is it?"

Carbira answered. "Ten high-level Parus."

Cecile muttered. "The price of an exceptional Peak-level earth ranked treasure or an average low-level Heaven-ranked treasure."

Hanna commented lazily. "That is expensive."

Yasenia asked. "Where is the Fu family?"

Carbira blinked and saw ten high-level Parus appearing on the table.

Carbira took them and commented. "Luxury VIP room number 21."

Yasenia nodded. "It is good to know. If they ever try interrupting our offers, we will be able to know."

Carbira was curious and asked. "Why do you think they would do so?"

Yasenia sighed. "Jorey thought I had something to do with Young Master Fu's condition. I don't believe she will be the only one. I've had a small beef with them for a while, so them interrupting me is something I expect."

"Do you have anything to do with it?" Asked Carbira impulsively out of pure curiosity. Her cute pearly black protruding eyes leaned forward as she asked.

Yasenia smiled and answered calmly. "I have nothing to do with his current condition. I have never touched him or cared about a junior's life and death. They just are obsessed with us after one of my daughters attacked him back then and revealed his putrid character to the sect he was about to join."

Cecile internally chuckled. 'Though, that "daughter" was you in your juvenile form all along, my love.'

Yasenia laughed. 'Who would believe that a dragon barely taller than an average human would grow to become the size of a building?'

Meanwhile, Carbira's eyes relaxed, and she nodded. "That's good. Although they are a secondary branch from the main clan, the City Lord is one of the youngest sons of the current Patriarch of the entire Wolf Clan, ranked ninth in the Thirty-Three clan group."

Carbira sighed. "If he asks for his aid, he will probably not ignore him completely and send a few seniors."

Yasenia asked. "How many sons and daughters does the Patriarch have?"

Carbira's eyes crossed as she thought. "I'm not sure. But it should be over a hundred."

Tatyana smirked. "Yikes, the power struggle must be intense."

The other people present looked at her strangely. 'Yikes? What does that mean?'

Cecile commented. "If we analyze it, he must not be a favorite. To give him a city in the middle of nowhere, he must have wanted for him not to participate."

Tatyana disagreed. "That is an option, but the option of liking him so much that he used this action to deter his brother and sisters from messing with him is also an option."

Yasenia shrugged. "Whichever way the truth leans into, It is not our problem. If he comes and wants our help, I don't mind helping. Maybe after we manage to cure Young Master Fu's illness, our confrontations can finally end."

Cecile blinked. 'Do you mean it, love?'

Yasenia rolled her eyes. 'Of course not. But we are in another person's territory. Everything we say must never have an incriminatory undertone or hint. The leader of the Brilliant Auction House would not hesitate to give our secrets to them for the right price. Or even use our secrets as blackmail.'

Yasenia sneered. 'Remember that he is greedy enough to sell who has which VIP room. Information about what we said and discussed in these rooms is not that out of hand.'

Tatyana asked. 'Should I create an interfering formation?'

Yasenia shook her head. 'Don't bother. If they want to listen, they can listen to all they want. It's not like we'll begin spilling trade secrets in this place.'

Cecile leaned on Yasenia's side and sighed. 'It really sucks not being strong enough to ignore all these nuances. Thankfully, you are here with us to take care of us in this situation.'

Yasenia kissed her forehead and smiled. 'Don't worry. Once we can fight back or protect ourselves, we won't have to hide our intentions anymore so much.'

Tatyana asked. 'How long do you plan to wait?'

Yasenia pondered. 'This place is perfect to learn, deepen our craft, and increase our strength and foundation without that much risk. Although the strongest people here are strong enough to kill us easily currently, they are not so strong that we can't deal with them in a life-and-death scenario. Escaping is always an option.'

Yasenia smiled. 'To be honest, we were quite lucky to end in this continent. This experience will help us when we deal with actual powerhouses in other worlds. Imagine the strongest people here are Transcendence Cultivators. I would have never thought of creating a power. One of them can annihilate us from thousands of kilometers away. I wouldn't even know what killed me before I died.'

Tatyana and Cecile nodded.

Time ticked away, and hours went by.

Our girls bought a total of twenty-three items, but nothing interesting or worth mentioning.

The brush for Cecile didn't appear, so Yasenia made a mental note to create one back at home.

Soon only two items were left.
