Chapter 48: Annual Pinchu Auction (2)

Everything seemed to go silent. Her eyes were wide when I unexpectedly kissed her. I always went for the mouth, as that was the most satisfying for me. To plug her slick lips with mine, to intertwine our wet tongues; only that could compare with the way I held her.

Lingling's body was warm. I could feel it, our bellies touching, her weight on my laps, how she tried to move her legs; it only pleased me more.

I closed the fan but kept stroking her thighs. I didn't go too deep, though. Now was not the time for that.

"Mmmm... Mmmm..." She made cute noises and repeatedly hit my chest. I took out my tongue and the kissing stopped. Licking my lips, I kept staring at her.

Lingling's ears were red and a real blush overshadowed the artificial one on her cheeks. She couldn't keep looking at me and glanced down.

I hid Silverite under my sleeve and nonchalantly put my arm over her neck. She didn't resist nor said anything, even though something large was poking her down there. She knew there was no point in trying to stand up, I was firmly holding her.

The bidding had already finished. We didn't know who bought that spear, we couldn't careless.

"Why...?" she asked softly. Earlier it seemed like a tease, but after a long kiss and this... It was evident that I desired something more.

"Why are you doing this?" Ling'er again voiced out, a little more louder this time. If it was any other place, she'd have tried to fight it out with me. However, this was the auction house, she was instead afraid that her pursuers might find her if she did anything.

Adjusting my sitting position, I lightly slapped her thigh and pressed her closer. I exhaled a long breath and spoke, "There was a chance and I took it."

"You... shameless-"

"What's the harm anyway? He might've told us to show our faces if I didn't do that."

Another item appeared in the auction. Through the curtain, I could clearly see the auctioneer holding an incense burner. We heard her singing praises for it, saying it had magical effects during mediation.

The bid started at 40 gold kins and quickly passed the 100 gold mark. I wasn't interested in that so I kept waiting. I also wanted to buy something from this auction but nothing useful had been shown as of yet.

'Oh...' I sensed someone coming to our booth. A servant, carring a chair. She glanced inside and met her eyes with Lingling's. Frowning, Ling'er was about to tell the girl to leave the chair there.

"I-I'm sorry," stammered the servant girl and quickly backed away. She must've thought that she interrupted something.

"Hey-"

My palm closed Lingling's mouth and I told her not to make too much noise. She started struggling once again only to sigh in defeat a few moments later.

"It's no use. Just stay put and let me have fun." My stroking hand had already went under her skirt. I felt that smooth and soft part while paying attention to the auctioneer below.

"At least stop slapping me like that."

"Does it hurt?" I was only patting actually, there was no real force involved.

"This is... so shameful." Ling'er started hitting lightly on my chest whenever I did that. It was her way of protesting.

"230 one... 230 two... 230 three. Congratulations to the practioner having token numbered 33, you've won this bidding."

Some fool got the incense burner. It was easy to be tricked when a beautiful woman auctioned an item. Lin family knew what they were doing.

"Coming up next is a golden statue which was made around 200 years ago..."

For a little more than half an hour, the auction went on. Sometimes weapons, sometimes an antique; it didn't garner the interest of anyone in the third balcony. Some people in the booths of second balcony bid for a silver bow but even that was just an ordinay item.

I waited all this while, stroking Ling'er like my lovable kitten. She seemed to have grown used to it by now, though she didn't stop hitting me every once in a while.

"Now we present to you the Qi locating compass."

Finally something interesting. Murmurs started filling the auction hall as people doubted the authenticity of such an item. Even I couldn't guess if it was the real thing or not.

I stopped patting her thighs and she looked confused. Lifting her up, I once again adjusted my posture and plopped her on my lap.

"That's going too far-"

I felt the softness of her bums as she moved around, trying to sit more comfortably. I stoked my chin with the hand that was around her neck. Ling'er had also noticed the different atmosphere in the auction hall.

"So they finally took out the expensive things," She muttered. The faster this auction completed, the better it was for her.

I was also interested in this compass. Anything that could locate Qi, it would help in locating dangerous beasts, cultivators and even spirit herbs.

The bidding started at 300 gold kins and the price immediately skyrocketed to 800. The young masters and rich merchants were finally participating.

"I, Chae Lee, bid 1,001 gold kins."

"1,001 one, 1,001 tw-"

"1,200!"

"1,350!"

They weren't finished yet. That compass would mostly likely sell for around 2100-2400 gold kins. A little bit too much for something that hadn't be fully authenticated yet. Then again, it was an expected effect. Feng Yi and Chunu were doing their job.

"You're not going to bid?" Ling'er asked.

"Let's see... 2,500 gold kins."

The auctioneer's eyes glittered while others looked at our booth. She added in a louder voice.

"Booth no. 8 bids 2,500 gold kins. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher? No? 2,500 one... 2,500 two... and 2,500-"

"Two thousand six hundred!" It was Dou Peng's voice. He seemed competitive.

I thought I'd won it. I sighed and let this one go. This was just the first good item. There were many more to come and I only had around 12,000 in total. The last item would most likely go for more than 7,000 golds, I had to buy something big.

The next item was a fancy sword. Apparently, one of the merchants wanted to buy it for his guards. That was from Gang family's treasury and I didn't bid for it of course. I already had a weapon for myself.

Two more items were auctioned off after that and I could feel the growing tension between the young masters. One of the elders had told Chae Lee to stop bidding for that luxury horse.

Some new hidden bidders were appearing as well. Booth no. 14 bid a whopping 4,000 gold kins for a pill claudron. That could've been a rich alchemist flaunting his/her wealth as no sane practitioner would be so extravagant.

"Now you're stroking my belly..."

"Relax Ling'er, relax. It's just a habit."

I didn't even know what I was doing to her before she spoke. The next item seemed to be a tamed beast. I had my eyes on it. Even if it would take me thousands of golds, I had to buy it. It would make a good carrier in the coming journey.

Circling the cage, Lin Siyun gave a small introduction of this beast. "This is a male Craoca. It is three years old and can already defeat normal Body Tempering practioners. Worry not, however, as it has been tamed. The drug used to make it docile would be given to the highest bidder."

"The starting price is only at 700 gold kins." At this prompt from the auctioneer, people voiced their biddings.

"800 golds!"

"1,000 golds!"
