Chapter 117: The Crazy Immortal Auction
After resting for a night at the inn, Liu Yu and his companions continued their journey, full of energy. That day, they arrived at a bustling immortal city, where they heard a grand auction of immortals was being held.
The auction was packed with people and incredibly lively. Liu Yu and his friends squeezed in out of curiosity and saw all sorts of strange and wonderful treasures on display on the stage.
The first item was a singing gourd; a gentle shake would produce beautiful melodies. As soon as the auctioneer finished introducing it, Liu Yu eagerly shouted, "I want this gourd!"
A nearby deity scoffed, "You? Don't you even know if you have the financial means?"
Liu Yu retorted, unconvinced, "How do you know I didn't?"
The auction began, and the price soared. Liu Yu quickly gave up, saying helplessly, "This is too expensive!"
Next up was a pair of shoes that could make people fly. Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and she wanted to bid on them again.
Xu Xian stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive, let's take a look first."
As a result, the shoes were bought by a wealthy deity for a high price, and Liu Yu looked at him with envy.
Then, a mysterious treasure was brought out on stage, covered by a red cloth. The auctioneer, feigning mystery, said, "This treasure is extremely rare; can you guess what it is?"
Liu Yu said loudly, "Stop keeping me in suspense, hurry up and lift the lid to take a look!"
The auctioneer smiled and lifted the red cloth, revealing a mirror that could make people more beautiful.
Liu Yu said, "What's the use of this? I don't need it."
Many female immortals were interested in this mirror, and the bidding was fierce.
Next, they showed a pot that automatically cooks rice. Liu Yu thought, "This is great. I won't have to cook for myself anymore."
Just as he was about to make an offer, Xiaoqing said, "All you ever think about is eating!"
Liu Yu had no choice but to shut up.
Halfway through the auction, a giant egg was suddenly brought out. The auctioneer said, "This is no ordinary egg; it is said to hatch a magical creature."
Liu Yu curiously went over to take a look, but accidentally knocked the egg over, and it rolled on the ground, causing chaos.
He quickly chased after the egg, shouting as he went, "Don't run away!"
After finally managing to catch the egg, Liu Yu was panting heavily.
At this moment, a magnificently dressed deity walked over and said, "I want this egg. Name your price."
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "One hundred taels of silver!"
The deity said, "This is extortion!"
The two haggled for a long time before finally settling on a price of fifty taels of silver.
Liu Yu proudly held the silver and said, "I'm rich!"
Next up was a sword that could change size, and Liu Yu was immediately captivated.
He had just made his bid when someone else beat him to it, and in the end, the sword was bought by a highly skilled immortal.
Liu Yu said dejectedly, "How come I can't grab anything?"
Then, the last treasure was brought out on stage: a magic book that supposedly grants one wish.
Everyone was in a frenzy, and the bidding price kept rising.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth, took out all his silver, and shouted, "I'll offer a thousand taels!"
Everyone else was intimidated by his imposing presence, and Liu Yu ultimately succeeded in bidding for the magic book.
He excitedly opened the book, ready to make a wish, but suddenly a plume of black smoke emerged from the book, which then transformed into a small monster.
The little monster laughed and said, "Haha, you've been tricked!"
Liu Yu was dumbfounded and asked, "What's going on?"
The little monster said, "I've put a spell on this magic book; whoever opens it will be unlucky!"
After saying that, the little monster ran away.
Liu Yu and the others hurriedly gave chase, running around the Immortal City.
They chased the monster to a garden, but it had disappeared.
Liu Yu said angrily, "He got away!"
Just then, the flowers in the garden suddenly turned into little fairies and danced around them.
Liu Yu asked in surprise, "What's going on now?"
The little elves said, "If you play with us, we'll tell you where the little monster is."
Liu Yu said helplessly, "Okay, I'll play along."
They played with the elves for a while, and the elves told them that the little monster had run away to a cave outside the city.
Liu Yu and his group quickly left the city and arrived at the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and Liu Yu was a little scared. She said, "Maybe we shouldn't go in."
Xu Xian said, "We've come this far, how can we back down now?"
They cautiously entered the cave, where a strange sound came from inside.
Liu Yu gripped Xu Xian's arm tightly and said, "I'm scared!"
Suddenly, a bat flew over, startling Liu Yu into screaming.
Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, you're such a coward."
They continued walking and finally found the little monster.
The little monster said, "You guys are amazing for finding this place!"
Liu Yu said, "Quickly restore the magic book to its original state!"
The little monster said, "Unless you agree to one condition."
Liu Yu asked, "What are the conditions?"
The little monster said, "Take me with you, I'm so bored here all by myself."
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as you turn the magic book back."
The little monster cast a spell, and the magic book returned to normal.
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and left the cave with the little monster.
They returned to the fairy city and continued their journey.
I wonder what interesting things will happen next...
