After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Chapter 54.1

To Keep A Mistress in a Luxurious House (1)

The Aiwen Auction House was one of the four largest auction houses on the continent, with tremendous backing and a significant role.

Especially since it had auctioned off fire gems several times in a row this year, more and more people were paying attention to it.

At this very moment, the Aiwen Auction House suddenly released the news that–

–An extremely prestigious auction would be held in seven days.

Meanwhile, the Aiwen Auction House had released a partial list of the items to be auctioned.

Everyone was shocked by the items on the list.

Every item on the list was invaluable. Many were legendary items that had been lost for thousands of years and were no longer available worldwide. And more importantly, given the custom of auction houses in the Irvine District, the list of items released in advance accounted for only thirty percent of the total number of items on offer.

That would mean… they had many more items of the same rank not listed!

What a massive amount of money that must be!

The news spread like wildfire.

Soon after the news spread, all the treasure lovers and speculators who wanted to make a fortune by selling and picking up the pieces all flocked to the Aiwen District like sharks who had detected blood in the waters. All the hotels near the Aiwen Auction House were full, even though the prices were too high to be booked.

Shi An was at Mu Heng’s house playing a game when he heard the rumor.

The horse on the screen had died on the spot once again.

He threw away the console and stretched, then fumbled with his phone.

After talking to Zhao She the other day, he had been asked to join a group of strength system students from the Ability Academy so that he would be the first to know about the progress of the exchange.

Shi An was shocked by the message notification that filled the screen just after he swiped the screen.

However, since he couldn’t read all the human languages, he scanned through them hastily and clicked on a picture posted by one of them.

“Crack.”

A crack appeared on the phone screen.

Shi An stared intently at the pictures on the screen, breathing hard, his fingertips slightly white from the force.

It was all his.

Every single treasure in the picture.

It was all his.

A scarlet fire glowed under his pitch-black eyes and an intense, dark, formidable demonic pressure poured out of him.

The demon insect, basking in the sun and sleeping on the side, jolted awake and jumped up.

It stumbled and rushed over. “Calm down! My lord! Calm down!”

Shi An gritted his teeth. “…Thieves!”

“Crack!”

A second crack appeared on the phone screen.

“M-My lord, don’t be impulsive!” Black smoke also scurried out at this moment, trembling and shivering as he advised.

These brazen humans, not only had they stolen his stuff, but they dared to take it out and sell it grandly!

Shi An was so angry that his eyes turned black and he was eager to rush out and burn this group of people.

“This is a ploy! A ploy by those humans to lure you in!”

Black smoke held Shi An’s left leg and the demon insect tugged at Shi An’s right leg, fearing that Shi An might do something impulsive in his anger.

“Have you forgotten? You can’t act blindly without thinking now!”

Shi An looked down at the phone he held.

The screen’s glass had shattered, cobweb-like cracks spreading, the light underneath turning blue one moment and flashing wildly the next and the previous picture had now been largely covered. Only a bit of the original color patch could be seen.

The intense feeling of anger rushing straight to his head had gradually been suppressed.

Shi An took a deep breath and the burning golden-red color under his eyes receded a little.

He said, “I knew, but…”

Shi An’s voice carried extreme anger again. “I’m angry!”

The demon insect was finally relieved to see Shi An’s sanity return.

It fluttered its wings and flew to the young man’s shoulder, patting his shoulder with its thin legs. “Alas, My lord. I understand you.”

His master’s treasures had been stolen from his possessions for tens of thousands of years and the items had even been sold and divided up.

Not to mention the dragons, who regarded treasure as their life, the insect couldn’t stand it either.

“But, didn’t you already make up your mind to do the dirty on another villain?”

The demon insect waved its two thin legs. “Those humans had thought of a perfect plan. To arrange the trap, they used your belongings to lure you over. Humph! We will make them lose the dragon and the treasure all at once!”

Black Smoke echoed, “Exactly. Exactly.”

The demon insect that had been so mild and gentle to Shi An just now turned its head and rolled its eyes, harshly scolding him.

“Why are you here to join the crowd? Get lost.”

Black smoke said, “Even if the Lord bullies me, who are you to do that?”

Demon insect said, “I’ve been at the Lord’s side longer than you. You should’ve called me senior!”

Black Smoke glared at it angrily. “Pah!”

The two demons soon wrestled with each other over who was the number one Shi An’s minion.

As they did so, Shi An managed to calm down.

It wasn’t that he didn’t remember this, but his dragon instincts got the better of him when he got angry.

Shi An began to think of a plan.
