The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Tycoons Bring Experts to Auctions

Upon meeting this gaze, Feng Qi instinctively retracted her claw.

Realizing her own action, she felt a bit annoyed.

Since when did I become so timid?

It’s just a pesky boy!

Feng Qi once again extended her claw, about to hit the Classic of Mountain and Sea, when a cold voice sounded by her ear: “Freeze.”

Feng Qi was immobilized.

Holding the pose of extending her claw, she couldn’t move an inch.

Feng Qi looked incredulously at the child in front of her, who seemed to be only about seven or eight years old, yet with a cold face, deep eyes, and a demeanor that completely mismatched his age.

An indescribable fear arose in her heart.

She was actually afraid of a little kid.

“Who are you?”

Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for him to be just an ordinary person.

Being frozen like this, the fear in her heart was even stronger than when she encountered Shen Cang. Clearly, it was just a child, but he made her feel such an intense fear!

Is he the reincarnation of a strong figure?

Has he been body-snatched?

Or is it that some powerful being had an issue while cultivating and returned to childhood?

Or perhaps… it’s some great master who likes pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, enjoying becoming a child to fool others?

“Who on earth are you!”

Feng Qi’s voice was a bit sharp, baring her teeth, her face showing a fierce beast-like expression.

Hua Jinyan glanced at her indifferently and said coldly: “Noisy.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Qi opened her mouth, trying hard to articulate any syllable.

The poor fiery red Little Fox stretched out a paw suspended in mid-air, her posture exceedingly awkward, yet unable to move, trying hard to open her mouth to make a sound, but could produce a sound, only able to angrily widen her eyes in protest.

Her completely harmless glare was utterly ignored, as Hua Jinyan turned his eyes back to calmly read the Classic of Mountain and Sea.

In the archives, only the sound of Hua Jinyan flipping through the pages remained.

…

Little Taotie came to Shen Cang’s office, obediently arriving at the desk, tilting her head with a bit of doubt, and asked in a childish voice: “Head Grandpa, you’re looking for me?”

Shen Cang looked at the little one, reached into the drawer, and took out a pack of marshmallows to hand over.

Little Taotie happily took it, opened it, and a sweet scent of strawberry wafted from the bag. She reached out and took out a marshmallow, soft and fluffy in pink and white.

“Delicious!” The little girl smiled with curved eyes, Little Dimple deep on her cheek, biting the marshmallow in her mouth.

She reached out to offer a piece to Shen Cang’s mouth, “Head Grandpa, taste!”

Shen Cang looked at the door, making sure it was tightly closed, then opened his mouth to eat.

Little Taotie tilted her head and sweetly smiled: “Delicious!”

After she finished eating, Shen Cang put the bag back in the drawer and took out a document to hand over. “All the people who attended the auction in country H that day, the ones circled in blue bought things, and those circled in red brought people from the Mysterious Sect or monks.”

The attendees of the auction were wealthy merchants from all over the world. This auction mainly dealt with some ancient artifacts, and the experienced wealthy merchants knew that such things dug out of the ground couldn’t be taken home casually, so they would bring some experts to the auction.

Once the items were purchased, those knowledgeable people would first check if there were any unclean things, only taking them home if there weren’t any.

Little Taotie flipped through the document, looking at the densely packed red circles above, surprised: “So many people brought others?”

“There are too many wealthy merchants who, after buying ancient items, experienced strange incidents at home, even going bankrupt overnight or perishing in car accidents with their whole family. Having seen so much, the wealthy merchants dared not bring artifacts home casually.”

Hearing this, Little Taotie nodded vaguely, studying the names and information above carefully, as well as the photos of those auctioned items.
