Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1161: Star Sinking Sand, Water Moon Star River

”What’s going on?” Qhianqhian furrowed her brow, looking completely puzzled.

Tang Guo shrugged in a human-like manner: ”Look at the Far North Ice Field, besides Big Black and Xiao Hei, who else can speak human language?”

Only then did Luo Qianqian realize how difficult the situation was...

What level are Big Black and Xiao Hei? Holy Beasts, or even Four Symbols Sacred Beasts.

Even if they’re not at that level, Feng Xi is still a Divine Beast.

They’ve spent countless years in the Divine Realm, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and moon to transform into human form.

Speaking human language is just one ability after transforming into human form.

Luo Qianqian pondered for a moment: ”In that case, you should stay here for now, in case something happens that I don’t know about.”

Tang Guo looked incredulous, never would she have expected that Luo Qianqian could come up with such a method...

She opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words to refute, and awkwardly lowered her head in mid-air.

”Actually, you don’t have to stay here; just come by and check in with me every day.” Luo Xinyue, seeing Tang Guo’s appearance, felt somewhat sympathetic, but was also worried that something might happen, so she thought of a compromise.

As expected, as soon as the words left her mouth, she saw Tang Guo nodding non-stop, and a trace of helplessness flashed in Luo Qianqian’s eyes.

”You can’t slack off.” The father and daughter exchanged a glance, both filled with helplessness.

Luo Qianqian looked sternly at Tang Guo.

”I definitely won’t.” Tang Guo promised confidently, but moments later, a hint of ingratiation appeared on her face as she landed in front of Luo Qianqian: ”Qhianqhian, I just sensed an aura, something that will help me grow, can you help me get it?”

”What thing?” Luo Qianqian looked completely baffled.

”I don’t know, but I’ve never had this feeling before; it just happened, and it’s right around here.” Tang Guo looked certain.

Luo Qianqian looked curiously at Luo Xinyue.

Luo Xinyue rested her chin in her hand and pondered for a moment, discovering a possible lead: ”There’s an auction happening here today; could it be something from the auction?”

”It’s possible.” Luo Qianqian’s eyes lit up; didn’t they sell counterfeit goods at the last auction at Shangqi Club?

Looking at Tang Guo’s eager expression, she nodded helplessly. After all, with Luo Xinyue as her backing, she wasn’t worried about a lack of funds.

”But what about Second Uncle?” His lethargic appearance made it seem as if he’d stayed up three nights in a row or had done something to exhaust himself.

”You guys go ahead.” Luo Xihan covered her mouth with a face of queasiness: ”Third Brother, do you have a place to take a bath here?”

”Yes.” Luo Xinyue nodded and called a waiter to take Luo Xihan away.

Then he himself took Luo Qianqian to the auction.

They sat calmly in the private room, watching as the seats below filled slowly. Compared to the last time when the counterfeit auction was packed, this time there were only a few scattered attendees, with plenty of empty seats.

Luo Qianqian looked at her father with confusion: ”What’s on auction today?”

”Not clear.” Luo Xinyue frowned: ”I haven’t been paying much attention lately; should I have someone send over the catalog?”

Due to the high expenditure of private rooms, aside from those like her with the privilege to enter, others usually wouldn’t come in, so the waiters wouldn’t always remember to send the catalog to such an unfrequented room.

”No need, we’ll watch it slowly.” Luo Qianqian glanced at Tang Guo floating in the air; whatever it is, since he wants it, he will know when it appears.

Who would have thought that at the first item, Tang Guo would excitedly jump onto Luo Qianqian’s shoulder: ”That’s the one!”

Luo Qianqian looked at the jade square bottle below with suspicion; there didn’t seem to be anything special about it, but she obediently placed a bid on it.

Since it was the first item and didn’t seem extraordinary, not many people bid, allowing Luo Qianqian to obtain it at a remarkably low price.

After seeing that Luo Qianqian successfully acquired the item, Luo Xinyue also made a phone call to instruct someone to deliver the item and settle the payment.

Luo Qianqian smiled at Luo Xinyue: ”Dad, should I help increase your sales volume?”

”Oh?” Luo Xinyue looked curiously at Luo Qianqian, curling his lips: ”You’re not thinking of having Nine Heavens Pavilion collaborate with Shangqi Club, are you?”

”Uh...” Luo Qianqian blinked, surprised that her father saw through her intention.

”No need, if it were like that, Shangqi Club would likely just turn into the Nine Heavens Pavilion Auction.” Luo Xinyue glanced at Tang Guo upon hearing footsteps, and Tang Guo dutifully sat on a side table, pretending to be decor.

The auction staff didn’t expect their boss to be in the room, and they all looked nervous, carefully delivering the items.

Fortunately, with Luo Qianqian around, Luo Xinyue didn’t give them a hard time, merely maintaining an indifferent expression.

After swiftly swiping the card and watching the door close, Luo Qianqian looked at the square container set on a red silk pad without seeing anything particularly good about it.

Moreover, there was a thick layer of soil inside, making her feel even more disdainful, prompting her to want to dump it out right away.

Tang Guo quickly jumped out: ”Ancestor, please don’t waste it, alright?” She nervously clung to the Jade Basin: ”The Jade Basin itself isn’t worth much; what’s valuable is what’s inside!”

Luo Qianqian swallowed, looking at the Jade Basin which she hadn’t even touched yet, fearing her lack of control might damage it, only to be told in that moment that the basin was worthless?

How could she accept that?

”You’re saying the valuable thing is the soil?” Luo Qianqian scoffed instantly: ”Isn’t this just regular soil?” It even had that distinct post-rain dirt fragrance, how could it be anything like priceless golden earth? Or is there gold hidden in this soil?

”This is called Star Sinking Sand, though it’s ordinary soil now.” Tang Guo carefully sifted through the soil with small hands, quickly uncovering a transparent sphere with a small blue electric light at its center, excitedly dancing: ”It’s indeed this!”

”What’s that?” Luo Qianqian looked at the crystal ball, feeling speechless; can’t many such items be bought?

Yet she still harbored some hope, her eyes filled with curiosity.

”This is called Water...”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, she could’ve guessed that much.

”Water Moon Star River, one of the essentials for my progression. The only issue is, it’s still just a seed and must be grown.” Tang Guo continued.

Water Moon Star River? Isn’t this thing called a crystal ball?

It’s actually a seed?

You plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans, so if you plant a crystal ball, will a crystal tree grow?

Thinking about a tree full of fruit, Luo Qianqian developed a sense of anticipation, imagining the romantic scene it might be!
