Chapter 274 I was just kidding
Sure enough, what the Queen Mother said before was right! The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!
Look at Senior Sister Bai's righteous expression, what do you mean by "how many"!
There must be at least hundreds of thousands of them!
Besides, it's so disgusting that a good person would find it disgusting to have a phantom octopus as his/her companion spirit beast!
Bai Yaoyao raised an eyebrow at Lu Bai who was choking and coughing. "Why, Junior Brother Lu likes phantom octopuses? How about I give you a few as a spirit beast?"
After these words were spoken, not only did Lu Bai stop coughing, but even Lu Fengxian, who was helping him breathe, was surprised.
"No, no, no! Junior Sister Bai! This is too valuable! Junior Brother can't have it!"
"It's okay. I picked up this octopus egg by accident during my trip to the Shadow Mist Reef. Thanks to Junior Brother Lu Bai's help along the way, I was able to complete the mission successfully. Now that the mission item has not been delivered and the points reward has not been received, why not use this octopus egg to pay for it!"
Lu Fengxian still refused, but Lu Bai suddenly had an idea.
He probably guessed that this was the hush money Bai Yaoyao gave him, so he readily accepted it and even helped to cover for me, "Haha, I didn't expect that Senior Sister didn't want everyone to have a share at that time, but now she has a change of heart and is willing to share with me?"
Bai Yaoyao glanced at him, then pressed the call button to summon a mermaid waiter, handed him three octopus eggs and explained her wishes.
Then after she went out, he took out five more and handed them to Lu Bai.
"Hey! Thank you!"
Lu Bai accepted it with a smile and said sweetly, "Thank you, Senior Sister Bai."
Lu Fengxian, who was standing next to them, watched the two people's actions, and a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes...
The second purifying soul bead was taken by Bai Yaoyao with the addition of an octopus egg, which shocked the whole audience and everyone speculated who was in private room No. 29.
In the following auction, no one was interested. However, Lu Bai wanted to follow Bai Yaoyao's example and exchange octopus eggs for the third Jing Heart Pearl, but was stopped by Lu Fengxian.
Until the last Pure Heart Pearl was found, Fatty Lan stood on the stage and announced that the auction was over.
Just when Bai Yaoyao and the other two were feeling relaxed and stood up to say goodbye to Lu Fengxian and his brother, preparing to return to the inn and return to Blue Star, an accident happened.
There was a lot of noise and an argument downstairs.
"what happened?"
Bai Yaoyao looked down from the room and found that a team of mermaid waiters were guarding the door of Jubao Pavilion and not letting anyone out.
"The auction is over! You, Jubao Pavilion, won't let us out! What is your intention?!"
"That's right! Are you planning to kill people and steal the treasure?"
The immortals who wanted to go out were filled with anger, and the one standing in front of the door negotiating with everyone happened to be Elder Solo, whom Bai Yaoyao had met before.
"Everyone! Everybody!" Fatty Lan should have received the signal by now, and he stood on the stage and shouted loudly to attract everyone's attention.
"My fellow immortals, please be patient! These are the guards of my mermaid tribe. Because a guest has lost a very important treasure, I have specially requested the guards to search here."
"It won't take you too long. Please go back to your seats and take a rest. I will present you with a plate of rare spiritual fruits and a portion of phantom algae as a small gift to make up for my mistake. Please wait for a moment!"
With Fatty Lan's dual comfort of words and material things, everyone returned to their seats, but they were whispering and talking among themselves.
In the Jubao Pavilion, the mermaid guards were moving around everywhere, and even in the private rooms, there were people coming in to check specifically.
After the mermaid guard who checked room 29 left, Chen Yingjie looked at his back thoughtfully.
After a while, he suddenly said, "It feels like these guards are not searching for treasures, but more like looking for people..."
Lu Fengxian's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Oh? Why do you think so?"
Chen Yingjie curled his lips, "This is not some mortal world. Most of the immortals have their own storage bags. However, these guards only inspected the room after entering it. They did not intend to check everyone's storage bags or search their bodies. Isn't this obvious!"
Lu Bai interrupted, "Then things that might be lost can't be put into the storage bag!"
Chen Yingjie smiled and said, "That's possible, but I'm more inclined to believe that they are looking for someone, and the person they are looking for is someone very important to the mermaids!"
An idea flashed through Bai Yaoyao's mind, and a few words came out of her mouth, "Mermaid Saint!"
Chen Yingjie nodded approvingly towards Bai Yaoyao, "Yes, I guess their mermaid saint is missing."
Lu Fengxian looked at Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao in surprise, "How did Junior Brother Yingjie and Junior Sister Bai figure that out?"
Seeing Chen Yingjie signaling for her to answer, Bai Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you notice? The weapons held by the guards who were searching just now are the same as those of the guards around the Mermaid Saint before! Moreover, if it was just a guest who lost a treasure, the head of the Treasure Pavilion could handle it directly. Why would the Mermaid elders have to step in?"
Lu Bai looked at Bai Yaoyao adoringly, "Senior Sister Bai! You are so smart!"
Lu Fengxian also looked at Bai Yaoyao, his eyes full of inquiry, "Junior Sister Bai is smart. She can think of such details. I am really curious about what kind of sect your Longhua Sect is. How did you train disciples who are so smart!"
Chen Yingjie smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you are joking. These are just some guesses and cannot be accurate. Whether it is a person or an object that is lost, Jubao Pavilion will explain it later. They will not restrict us for too long."
As Chen Yingjie expected, after the mermaid guards searched around, Jubao Pavilion had no reason to keep anyone there and had to let everyone leave.
After saying goodbye to Lu Fengxian and Lu Bai, Bai Yaoyao and the other two returned to Renyi Inn.
"Are you guys back? Did you get anything from the auction?"
Shopkeeper Canglan was lying on his rocking chair, stuffing mung bean cakes into his mouth from time to time.
Bai Yaoyao: "Brother Chen, Xiaoxiao, wait for me for a moment. I'll hand the things over to the shopkeeper and then we'll go back to the room."
Returning to the inn and then going back to Blue Star was what they had originally planned.
Compared with the dangers outside the mirage, any inn is a self-contained space that is better at hiding from others.
As long as they claim that they are in seclusion, they won't attract attention if they don't go out for a while.
"Okay!" Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao found an empty seat in the lobby and sat down.
Bai Yaoyao handed the box that she had brought back from the Shadow Mist Reef to Shopkeeper Canglan, and said half-jokingly:
"Boss! I brought the things back to you! But you disappeared this afternoon, and I didn't get the promised mission reward. We missed out on the treasure at the auction! How do you want compensation?"
Shopkeeper Canglan chuckled, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together with his movements, making him look very amiable.
"It's my fault! I made Fairy Bai not have enough points to auction the treasure he wanted. So how about the things in this wooden box be used as my apology?"
The teasing look on Bai Yaoyao's face suddenly froze.
"I...I was just kidding..."
