Digging holes

"26 million"

Lan Du called out with ease, she didn't seem like she was running low nor did she seem frustrated.After all, to her, the Karmic Dew was ore precious than what money could buy.

'Karmic Dew is creates a second source of strength, it practically doubles a person's output and endurance, if I can get it...'

"27 million"The person from the other room called out

"This sir, I am from the Feng family, we need this for our youngest son, give us some face and we will compensate you"The curtains opened up and Feng Yilin stepped forward

"Its Feng Yilin!To think he came for this auction"

"Hush, the Karmic Dew is a treasure that can help his youngest son, or course he could come"

Discussions exploded throughout the auction when Feng Yilin stepped out

Lan Du slammed her hand on her chair which surprised the other four.Why did she seem so angry all of a sudden?

Lan Du took out a mask and wore it as she stepped out onto the balcony.

"Old man, if not for me, would you even have a son to give the dew to"Lan Du growled coldly as she spoke aloud

The auction suddenly was suddenly overthrown into an uproar, Lan Du was too arrogant!The crowd dissed him from below and cursed at her for offending the Feng family.

Fatty ran up and held Lan Du's arm

"Lan Du, stop saying nonsense, he's from the Feng manor, you can't offend him"He said hurriedly

Lan Du sneered

"Old man, I need the Dew for personal reasons, seeing that you owe me one, can you give up the Karmic Dew"Lan Du urned to Feng Yilin and said

Feng Yilin shook

"Ah, so it was you, lad, this old man really needs to thank you, but the Karmic Dew isn't something I can give up easily on, even if you saved Yan'er"He shook his head and sighed

Lan Du chuckled

"Are you here alone today?"She asked

Feng Yilin shook his head

"I brought Yan'er and Qing'er today"He replied calmly, he indeed owed Lan Du a lot, even if Lan Du wa soley there for the mission, she still saved his son.

"Father, who are you talking to?"The small Feng Yan stepped out and asked cutely

"erm, I was speaking to little Du"He said gently

"ah, big brother is here?"Feng Yan turned to Lan Du's direction and waved his hand happily

Fatty, Ling Shou and Tie Wang was stupefied by this turn of events.Lan DU actually knew the 

Feng family!And they seem to be on very good terms as well.

"Little Yan, your father is abusing his family power to get the Dew, can you talk him out of it"Lan Du spoke as if she was wronged by Feng Yilin

Feng Yilin was shocked, he almost forgot, Lan Du was a natural actor!

Feng Yan turned to his father and gave him a strange look

"father...."

"Yan'er, I'm doing this for your own good"Feng Yilin quickly waved his hand around and tried to explain himself desperately.

Lan Du wiped tears from her eyes as she sniffled

"I see, after all I've done for you and your two sons, I'm merely an acquaintance to you"Lan Du said sorrowfully

Feng Yan glared at his father, since he was young, he didn't know what the Karmic Dew did, but he did know that his father was going against Lan Du.

"Father, big brother helped us so much, can't you just let him have it"Feng Yan said innocently

"no, your father is doing it for you, but to think he'll be so cold towards me"Lan Du sighed bitterly and wiped her eyes.

Feng Yilin was at a tight corner, with Lan Du's acting, he couldn't back out of Feng Yan's suspicion at all!He could only bow his head to his son and cry to himself.

"fine!"Seeing his son going against his own father for someone out of the family, Feng Yilin felt heartbroken

Lan Du grinned as if her goal has been achieved

"hehehe, little Yan is the best, 28 million"Lan Du called out

"28 million once, twice, sold!"

She then stepped back into the room and sat down.

Lad, to have connections with the Feng family, you're not simple"Wulan Da chuckled and said

Fatty and the others however was bewildered.

"Lan Du, you have to tell us honestly, how do you have connections with the Feng family!"The shook her by the shoulders and shouted

"ehhhh, I know his kids"Lan Du replied after some thought and scratched her face and averted her eyes

"The truth!"They shouted

Lan Du turned her head back

"hah?You dare raise your voice on me"

The three immediately shrunk their heads and sat quietly, not daring to look straight at her eyes nor even speak.They sat there motionlessly in fear that Lan Du decides to use them as punching bags.

The next few items were less competitive since the Karmic Dew left a deep impression on everyone.The next few items weren't as eye catching either.

"Now we have the Yang needles, these needles were once used by a great doctor, these needles now contain a trace of his spiritual strength and can increase the speed in learning acupuncture"

"The starting price is 50 000"

Lan Du raised her bid immediately

"100 000"She called out

The moment she spoke, the rom became silent and no one dared to bid.The main reason was because she had connections to the Feng family, thus everyone chose to avoid bidding against her.

Lan Du sat back and smiled

"100 000 once, twice, sold!"

The remaining items didn't catch her eyes, she waited for the final item of the auction, which was also the most precious one.He eyes glistened when the final item came up, it was covered in clothe and was slowly revealed.

"The final item is the auction's treasure item of the year, being refined in two seperate planets for decades, these two daggers each has their own attribute.The left dagger is refined in the coldest planet, BingHuang whilst the right one is refined in the most sinister planet, MoShan, they are a pair weapon that will become stronger when used together"The lady explained the details of the dagger very thoroughly, she glanced at Lan Du's room, expecting her to bid.

Lan Du waited, for this item, bidding first would show your desire.Lan Du chose to wait before bidding so she would know the pricing from others.

"The starting bid for the Shuang Long Daggers are 5 million"

the auction was quiet for some time until someone finally chose to bid.

"6 million!"

"10 million"The price shot up at a rapid pace

"15 million"

Lan Du still haven't started bidding yet, she wanted to know the final price before she started bidding, after all, bidding now would be pointless if others would just outbid her.

"Old man, I wonder if this item can be given to me for winning the game tournament"Lan DU turned her head and asked

"hohoho, what a sly lad, but unfortunately no, as promised, I can give you anything but the final item, that was our deal"He chuckled

Lan Du rubbed her chin

"Alright, then I want a share in the auction"She said without hesitation

"this..."Wulan Da didn't expect for her to ask for a share

"I-I don't think I can do that"He shook his head and said

"cheh, some promise that was, then I want the money I used to bid back at the end of the auction, that should be alright, right?It isn't an item, share nor something impossible"Lan Du smiled and said

"What!Then I might as well give you all the items for free!Can't you give me a reasonable answer"Wulan Da felt more and more helpless in front of Lan Du, her requests were too odd!

Lan Du turned her head and cursed lightly before turning back

"A reasonable request...sorry, I'm unreasonable, thats a hard thing for me to do, hm...fine, I'll take the loss this time, just give me the Karmic Dew then, what a loss for me"Lan Du grumbled

Wulan Da shook, Lan Du was just too much to deal with.What did she mean she took a loss!He was the one giving her the free items!And the one she asked for was something she bid for 28 million!That was a huge loss for him!

"Fine!"He has never felt so angry in his lifetime, Lan Du was the first to enrage him to such a degree.

Lan Du chuckled, she glanced at the daggers and the bidding seemed to slow down.

"60 million"

Less and less people now bid for the dagger, the only ones who started bidding now were those who didn't bid for previous items, purely waiting for the Shuang Long daggers.

"70 million"

Lan Du's eyes became serious, she raised her hand and now threw in a bid

"71 million"She called out, she wanted to save as much money as possible since this was no 

small sum.

"75 million"

Lan Du didn't back down

"80 millionShe called out once again, beside her, Wulan Da was quite shocked by how much money she had on her.How old was she?12?And she already had so much money, where did 

she even get it from?!

The other bidder now sounded somewhat hesitant before calling out

"8-85 million"

Lan Du also paused for a bit, she became a bit hesitant as well and called out

"90 million"He voice didn't sound as confident as before, the other parties saw hope and raised their bids.

"100 million"One called out, stomping on everyone else

"101 million"Lan Du said with traces of worry in her tone

"105 million"

The bidding continued, Lan Du grew tired after a few more calls as she gritted her teeth

"Screw it, 150 million"She wanted to save as much as possible so she bid a bit slower, but seeing how it only encouraged the others, she increased the price dramatically.

The auction suddenly became silent, the raise was so fast that they didn't see it coming.Lan Du sat back and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"using 150 million like that, that took. big hit to my wallet"Lan Du sighed

"150 million once!150 Million twice!150 three times!Sold"

Lan Du took out her card and tossed it to Wulan Da

"I'll just pay it off now, can you scan it?"She said in a depressed tone.

Wulan Da chuckled

"No problem"He took out a small machine and the transfer was successful, Lan Du paid over 150 million and received her items.

The moment she got the items, she tossed the bell over to fatty, then the knuckles to Tie Wang and the Yang needles to Ling Shou.They all gave her a shocked expression as to how she knew that was what they wanted.They left the auction and stood outside at a park.

"Hide your urges better next time, with your eyes bulging out on the items, who wouldn't know you wanted it"Lan Du said mockingly

he three scratched the back of their heads with embarrassment

"well, we didn't want to trouble you, but who would have thought you had so much money, your father must be rich"They didn't believe it when Lan Du said that she extorted it from a major family and they knew that her mother was in the hospital so they instinctively thought it was her father.

But they suddenly heard a loud bang and the brick wall beside them was cracked.

"Shut up, don't mention that bastard in front of me again"She said with a big smile, but despite the smile, her words were so cold that it sent shivers down their spines.

The wall crumbled slightly as bits fell out the part Lan Du struck, her hand was slightly bloodied as well from the impact but she kept a friendly smile which only scared them further.

"We're outside right now so I won't beat you, but be prepared when we get back to the dorms"Lan Du grabbed a piece of rock in her hand and crushed it to bits wit pure grip strength.

"got it?"

The three nodded vigorously

"Good, lets go meet the others, I already called them to meet up at Gold Wing restaurant"

The three followed her obediently with their heads low, Lan Du turned to the three of them and asked in confusion.

"Why so low?Today is the last day we'll be spending time together for a while, come, we're almost there"Lan Du smiled and said brightly

The three of them fell into a daze when they saw her smile but slapped themselves quickly to get out of the trance which confused Lan Du.

'Why does he looks so feminine just then...I'm a regular boy, I'm a regular boy' They all thought to themselves with an embarrassed look on their face.

Lan Du smacked each of them on the head

"What are you dwaddling for, get a move on and don't let the girls wait on us"Lan Du said hastily

The three nodded and followed closely.

Lan Du led them to the Gold Wing restaurant where the siblings and Hong Ling waited outside.But the strange thing was that there was a small group of young men approaching them with a perverted look on their faces.

Lan Du furrowed her brows

"Tie Wang, lend me the knuckles for a bit, today I'll test out how fine of a dust human bones can become"Lan Du said coldly

Tie Wang suddenly felt pity for the group of young men

"The street is large and the people vary, yet of all people they meddle with, it had to be Lan Du's reverse scale"Tie Wang shook his head and sighed as he took out the knuckles obediently

Lan Du chuckled

"Oh, what do you mean reverse scale, it's merely a test...thats right, a test"Her eyes however told a different story.

"I told you to get lost, seriously, I'm actually telling you to leave for your own good"At this time, 

Hong Ling was shaking her head as she sighed to the group of young men approaching them.

The young men however didn't feel fearful, they chuckled and their hands twitched

"We are also doing it for your good, come, let us show you some fun things"The one at the front took the initiative to reach out his hand which was immediately grabbed by another hand.

This hand was so fair he thought it was another girl but turned his head to see Lan Du staring at him with a smile

"Ah, Du Du, you took so long, by the way, the twins got so frightened that they might get traumatised"Hong Ling clasped her hands together and said

Xie Jing and Xie Ying however were confused, they glanced at one another and they seemed to be perfectly fine.Tie Wang, Fatty and Ling Shou however knew Hong Ling's intentions.

Get Lan Du pissed and beat the crap out of the small group...

Lan Du's brows lifted

"oh ho?You little twerps really have nothing else to do, of everything you can do in life, you chose to dig holes"Lan Du's voice as full of mockery and disdain

"h-holes?"They were confused

"Can't you see it?"Lan Du's smile widened as she grabbed the one in the front by the head and slammed his head into the dirt garden beside them.

His head easily went through the dirt under Lan Du's forceful slam and was now planted there like an ostrich with its head in the ground.

"Can you see the hole more clearly now?Or should I widen it so your whole body can fit in it?"She took out a pair of knuckles and wore them on her hand.

"Today I was wondering to myself, how fine of a powder can human bones be crushed into, wanna help me test it out?"Lan Du's eyes were filled with sadism and mockery as she glanced towards the remaining group and smiled.
