The armchairs were nice with a good footrest in front of it, as Ryuu sat group of four attendants stepped inside, they were wearing kimonos as was the custom of ladies around this parts.

A woman wearing a red kimono stepped forward bowing towards Ryuu and his groups as she spoke, "Greetings esteemed guests my name is s.h.i.+bata Ino, I along with my fellow female coworkers Nomura Saki, Takigawa Koma, and Morikawa Isome will be you host for tonight please feel free to order us any way you like.", the woman introduced the other ladies each one wearing a different color kimono ranging from lime green, royal purple to cerulean blue respectively, as they were being introduced they bowed lightly.

The Royal Balcony consisted of seven sits as such alongside Ryuu and his sisters, Biskha, and two other maids joined them, one of them Minami and the other being Aika herself who had finished her punishment. Ryuu wanted to speak with her after her return but held back seeing the haunted look in her eyes, as for his teammates they have yet to finish their punishment, he s.h.i.+vered in thought about what kind of h.e.l.lish punishments they suffered.

His sisters just gave a short nod at them, before they began gossiping with each other, the temperature of the room was cozy enough to cause him to feel a bit drowsy, but unfortunately he was a startled awake from the shout as a lady came and stood in front of the podium which stood elegantly at the right side of the stage giving a good amount of free s.p.a.ce for the items to be displayed.

Ryuu glanced down through the balcony gla.s.s as he looked towards a plethora of men and women from different walks of life eagerly waiting for the show to begin, he noticed that some of the men were whistling, as he looked up towards the stage she saw a purple haired lady her hair was held by a pin, she wore a very tight red colored cheongsam, which hugged her form perfectly giving a perfect hour gla.s.s look, her big tantalizing twins seemed to pop out from her clothes which were cut in to give a very healthy glimpse of her cleavage, a darker shade of red lipstick on her kissable lips adorned her heart shaped face, the woman carried herself with an aura of maturity and had an irrefutable s.e.x appeal which caused to capture the attention of all the male as well as some females in the crowd, some of the women even slapped their male companions to get them out of their dazed state.

Antariskh whispered lowly, "Interesting the woman down there is at Mid Void Immortal level at 70 years of age. She might be the strongest person present here except us."

Meanwhile Ryuu's thought were on another matter, "Big sis why is she dressed like that?"

At that his elder sisters were petrified they did not know how to explain it to a naïve 11 almost 2 year old child.

Sylvana stammered out while trying to think about some excuses, "Well you see it is a form of distraction..."

Ryuu slammed his right fist on his left hand as he exclaimed out, "So I was right."

At that everyone was curious including their attendants at what kind of conclusion did he came to.

Shamiran: "What do you mean you are right little brother?'"

Ryuu: "They are using the poor lady as a means to get others to sympathize to pay more, I wish I could help that poor lady at least then she would have a nice pair of clothes."

Hearing his reasoning the attendants almost collapsed on the spot, it was impossible for them to fathom how the child came into conclusion about their Lady, who was the youngest daughter of the Head of the 'Golden Phoenix Pavilion Group.', meanwhile his sisters just snorted in amus.e.m.e.nt at that, they always found their brother's way of thinking cute and adorable.

The lady spoke out, "h.e.l.lo Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Golden Phoenix Pavilion's Annual Grand Auction, my name is Lang Yazhu, and I will be your host for today. As always we will present before you a various goods which we have acquired through various means as our believe in quality above, we a.s.sure you that as all ways you will deliver your top of the cla.s.s products, as such without further ado let us begin the auction."

"The first item that is being brought has been found in ancient ruins, it is a Spear which has an array which electrifies it enabling to cause devastating damage."

A couple of men brought the spear which was place on a holder atop a table with wheels, everyone inspected it from afar as best as I could.

"Item Number 1, the Thunder-Spear, a mid Xiantian level weapon its base price is at 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones, anyone who wants to offer a higher bid."

Suddenly a person from the normal gallery spoke out, " 105 Low Grade Spirit Stones."

Lang: "105 Low Grade Spirit Stones currently with number 5 o normal seats."

Which was quickly followed by another shout, "110 Low Grade Spirit Stones."

Lang: "110 Low Grade Spirit Stones currently with number 30 of normal seats, anyone to give 120"

Another person just laughed loud as he stood proudly, "Hmf you beggars, I will pay 300 Low Grade Spirit Stones."

Stunning everyone as he lady smiled as she spoke, "Well is there anyone willing to bet any higher, anyone willing to pay 310", she paused for a couple of seconds giving a cute pout as she spoke again, "well anyone", as she was about to raise an hammer another spoke out "350"

Lang kept the charming smile on her face as he continued, "Well will I see a 360, a 355 anyone?"

The same person who bid 300 spoke out, "550".

Lang Yazhu: "550 once, 550 twice, 550 thrice", upon hearing no response, she banged her hammer on the gravel, "Item number 1 'Thunder-spear' sold at 550 Low Grade Spirit stones to number 69 from the normal gallery, Congratulations on being a proud owner of the Spear."

The bear like man sat with a big smile on his face as if he had won a huge lottery, especially since Lady Yazhu sent a small smile towards him.

While inside the Royal Balcony Ryuu slapped his forehead as he exclaimed, "What an idiot, the array on the spear is not only subpar but from what I sense that it will not only be taxing on the user but also on the weapon itself causing it break down."

Antariskh smiled at Ryuu, "So true baby brother from what I sensed that the weapon will break after using it a hundred times, not counting the wear and tear of going through the battle, that man was a fool to pay so much for a lousy spear, but such an idiotic man is ideal for the auction houses they are good for business."
