"Creak!"
The door opened abruptly.
Xu Que, who was knocking on the door, almost knocked on the Water Empress's delicate face.
"I heard that you are going to auction something?" he said with a forced smile.
The Water Empress was very calm. She was not frightened at all. With a gentle smile on her face, she nodded and said, "That's right. After several wars, many people in the Water Nation are suffering from natural disasters. We need some Spirit Stones and silver for disaster relief!"
"Why don't you ask me for help? I have the most money on me, and I have a lot of Spirit Stones too. Step aside, I'll give them all to you!" Xu Que said as he took out the large amount of Spirit Stones and silver from his system inventory.
The Water Empress raised her hand and smiled. "Young man, you don't have to do this. Keep the Spiritual Stones. In the future, you will need a lot of Spiritual Stones! I want to deal with the Water Nation on my own! "
"Little girl, you are being too polite. I really have a lot of Spiritual Stones! "Xu Que said.
But the Water Empress was still very determined. She wanted to deal with the Water Nation on her own. She didn't want Xu Que to get involved.
Xu Que remembered Liu Jingning's words. She told him not to have too much to do with the Water Empress. Otherwise, he would be implicated in the future.
Maybe because of this, the Water Empress seemed to be gentle and approachable. In fact, she was cold and aloof. She was independent and didn't want to get involved with anyone.
Xu Que was an exception. He had seen the Water Empress naked in the Tower of Souls. That had brought the Water Empress closer to him.
Later, he showed her so many strange things, such as grilled chicken wings and stinky tofu. He also killed the Old Killer of Tiansha and the Fire Emperor. That made the Water Empress appreciate him.
"How about I buy all the things? They will definitely be higher than the auction price. What do you think?" Xu Que said. He wanted to help the Water Empress.
Of course, the most important reason was that he was so narrow-minded that he wouldn't allow the Water Empress's belongings to be auctioned.
The Water Empress shook her head and smiled. "They are just some ordinary magic weapons. They are useless to you. Besides, they have been sent to the auction house. You can't get them back!"
"What? Has it been sent to the auction house? "Xu Que was anxious.
The empress was amused by Xu Que's expression. It was just a small accessory, why was he so nervous?
She couldn't help laughing and said softly, "Little guy, go back and cultivate. If I'm not wrong, you'll be going through the Heavenly Tribulation soon!"
"Little girl, that's not right. Why do you care about the Heavenly Tribulation now? This kind of trivial matter can be solved easily. The most important thing now is the auction. Quick, tell me where the auction will be held!" Xu Que said anxiously. He was afraid that if he was late, the items would be sold out!
"You can't go!" The Water Empress immediately shook her head.
"Why?" Xu Que was puzzled. 'Why can't I go? Could it be that I can bully people just because I'm pretty?'
However, the Water Empress did not say anything else. She looked at him meaningfully and smiled without saying a word!
Xu Que reacted immediately. He blushed and patted his chest. "Don't worry, I won't do anything!"
Apparently, the Water Empress was afraid that the auction would be ruined if Xu Que went there!
After all, this guy always caused trouble wherever he went. She really couldn't put her mind at ease.
"Your reputation in the Imperial City is no less than mine now!" The Water Empress said with a faint smile.
With Xu Que's current reputation, nobody dared to offend him. If he really went to the auction and made a bid, nobody would dare to compete with him!
"Have you forgotten what I looked like when you first met me? My disguise skill is very good! " Xu Que smiled. He took out the Human Skin Mask that looked like Hu Ge from the System Inventory and put it on his face.
The Water Empress was a little surprised. After staring at Xu Que for a while, she said with a faint smile, "This face doesn't suit you. It's not as energetic as your original look!"
"Of course! Everyone says that the word 'handsome' can run through my whole life! All right, just tell me where the auction will be held. I have to go there now and buy some magic inscriptions! "Xu Que urged.
The Water Empress smiled. She didn't insist anymore. She turned her hand and took out a gold-stamped jade card. It was as thin as a piece of paper and was emitting strands of Spiritual Qi!
"The Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce? Is that the building in the center of the Imperial City? I'll go there now! "Xu Que looked at the carved words on the card and smiled.
When he went to the Third Duke's mansion a few days ago, he passed by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, which left a deep impression on him!
"Remember, don't expose your identity and don't cause any trouble. The Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce is very powerful. When you go there, you must abide by their rules!" the Water Empress said seriously.
"Okay, I've always been law-abiding since I was a kid. I will never cause any trouble!" Xu Que agreed without hesitation. Then he turned around and flew out of the Imperial Palace hurriedly!
The Water Empress said hurriedly, "Wait, little brat! Most importantly, don't kill anyone!"
"Ah? What did you say? I don't have a good signal here. Let's talk about it when I come back! Goodbye! "Xu Que pretended that he didn't hear her. With lightning intertwining under his feet, he disappeared in the sky instantly!
Looking at his disappearing figure, the Water Empress could not help but shake her head with a helpless smile. She summoned a maid and said in a low voice, "Send someone to the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce to inform them that I have something important to do and will not attend the auction."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The maid left slowly.
…
…
Soon, Xu Que unfolded his Black Flame Wings without any restraint. Stepping on lightning, he dashed toward the center of the Imperial City in a blink of an eye, making a booming sound in the sky.
The center of the market was very crowded. No matter how spacious the streets were, there were always people coming and going.
Especially the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. Many rich and powerful families had received the news that the Water Empress had taken out some items for auction. Apart from her personal belongings, there were also some treasures of heaven and earth, including high-grade magic weapons!
With the popularity and status of the Water Empress, any item she took out would be welcomed by many young people in the city.
Therefore, most of the people attending the auction this time were from the young generation. Of course, there were also some powerful people from the older generation. After all, the items of the Water Empress were not only for sale in the auction, but also for the treasures of other people!
Whoosh!
At this time, Xu Que landed from the sky.
With a new face and new clothes, Xu Que looked like a wandering swordsman in the World of Cultivators, with a carefree and unrestrained temperament.
Moreover, his face was still that of Hu Ge, which was extraordinarily handsome. Once he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people on the scene. Many female cultivators kept glancing at him, paying close attention to him!
However, Xu Que had no time to show off now. He rushed to the entrance of the main building of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. Seeing that the auction hadn't started yet, he let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, a guard at the entrance reached out his hand and stopped him. Expressionlessly, he said, "Your Excellency, please show your invitation and tell us your name!"
