Chapter 66 Jade Slips

Jade Slips

As soon as Hong Li and Yan Chenyu left, Xiao'er jumped onto the couch in excitement.

"Young Master, you saw that? That Hong Li person totally thought I was a noble lady! It didn't even cross his mind I was just a maid!" Xiao'er announced proudly as she rolled over the couch, inspecting its comfortability.

"It's because I let you wear your own clothes. Do you want to wear the maid uniform Mother made?" Xue Bai asked back sarcastically.

"No! Never that maid uniform makes me look like a ball of clothes." Xiao'er replied, pleading in her tone.

"You do know why she made it like that, right?" Xue Bai asked as he sat down in a chair himself.

"Yes, yes, I heard it from Mistress herself almost a hundred times," Xiao'er spoke in a monotone voice.

Putting his hand under his chin, Xue Bai asked, intrigued, "Then what is the reason Mother made it like that?"

Standing up and mimicking Li Rou's temperament, Xiao'er replied in the best impression of Li Rou she could, "Because of the soldier's lascivious nature, these clothes will help the maid from being looked at lustfully."

Xue Bai, hearing her impression, was stunned for a moment before erupting into a fit of laughter.

"Hahaha! Oh, that was good, Xiao'er. Do you practice this?" Xue Bai asked as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Not many times. I was scared that the Mistress would hear me." Xiao'er answered as she blushed a little.

How could she tell Xue Bai that she practiced almost every day in the maid dormitories or that there was an annual competition on who could make the best impression of Li Rou?

"You're a gem, Xiao'er. I really don't know how Mother found you." Xue Bai said honestly.

Ever since he transmigrated into the Baishen Plane, the person who was with him most wasn't his father or mother but Xiao'er. And she always managed to make him smile and brighten up his day.

Whether it was through her antics or her nativity, Xiao'er was Xue Bai's entertainment in this world.

"So you've finally noticed my majesty!" Xiao'er announced as she stood up on the couch with her nose raised up high.

"It's not too late for you to worship me now, Young Master. I can guarantee you a blissful life underneath my wing." Xiao'er announced arrogantly as if she were an emperor herself.

Not taking her comment to heart, Xue Bai turned his attention to the glass window that showed the auditorium for the auction house.

Through it, Xue Bai could see the massive auditorium he saw a glimpse of from the entrance. But now, a few floors up, he could see it in all of its glory.

From what Xue Bai knew, Li Rou was the main voice in designing both Mountain Herb Pavilion and Golden Hall Auction House. And Xue Bai was filled with praise after seeing them both. Even if Li Rou was on Earth, she could have made a living with her interior decoration skills.

The auditorium was large enough to hold at least 1500 people, while not even including the dozens of personal booths and 5 VIP booths. Xue Bai looked at it, nodding at everything.

'Even on Earth, with such an extravagant auditorium like this, only the high class would be able to step foot into it.' Xue Bai, though mentally.

"Xiao'er, do you have the list of things that are getting auctioned off in this Auction?" Xue Bai asked as he spun his head.

Still lying on the couch lazily, Xiao'er lifted up her head at Xue Bai and shook her head. She only knew that an auction was happening today, not of its contents.

"Then hand me the Communication Token that Hong Li left. We need to get a list." Xue Bai ordered.

Unwilling to get up from the comfortable position she had been carving out onto the couch cushions, Xiao'er asked back, "Why do we even need to know what they are auctioning? It's not like we need to save money. We can buy everything they are auctioning today and still have enough to live for a year."

Xue Bai, seeing her expression, didn't know how to reply for a moment. It was obvious she didn't want to get up, but she still made such a valid excuse to excuse her laziness.

"If you don't want to get up, just say so. I can get it myself." Xue Bai sighed as he got up from his chair.

'At this point, is she even still a maid?' Xue Bai thought.

As his thoughts cycled away, Xue Bai picked up the Communication Token and sent some Spiritual Qi into it to announce he needed assistance. And soon enough, after only a minute of waiting, a knock sounded on the door.

"Noble guests, it is Yan Chenyu. May I enter?" Yan Chenyu announced from outside the door.

"You may enter!" Xiao'er yelled out.

After getting permission, Yan Chenyu opened the door and walked in.

Cupping her fists and bowing slightly, Yan Chenyu asked, "Noble Guests, what did you need assistance with?"

Still not wanting to talk, Xue Bai motioned for Xiao'er to speak for him.

Getting a nudge on her hip, Xiao'er looked at Xue Bai's meaningful eyes and knew what she had to do.

"We need a list of the items you will be auctioning off today, Miss Yan," Xiao'er asked politely.

Nodding, Yan Chenyu pulled out a Jade Slip from her pocket and handed it to Xiao'er.

Jade Slips were a common cultivation tool for transferring information quickly. As your cultivation became higher and higher, the cultivator reading speed also quickened. But Jade Slips were better as they could instantly transfer information to the brain of the recipient. And all it took to create a Jade Slip was a piece of Jade Ore and the Cultivation of at least the Qi Sea Realm, making it very common to be used.

After handing over the Jade Slip, Yan Chenyu asked, "Is there anything else Noble Guests would like before I leave?"

Thinking for a moment, Xue Bai couldn't think of anything he would need from Yan Chenyu anymore, so he waved her off, expressing his stance.

Obeying, Yan Chenyu bowed once more and left the booth.

"Young Master, why don't you speak to them?" Xiao'er asked curiously, still lazing on the couch.

"It's because I think Hong Li would be able to recognize my voice. And also that I am a man. Even if I look feminine, my voice still sounds like a boy." Xue Bai replied.

"What if you make your voice sound like girls, then? Wouldn't you be able to talk then?" Xiao'er asked.

"Why would I want to be recognized as a girl? Just people mistakenly thinking I'm a girl is annoying. But now you want me to trick people into thinking I'm a girl?" Xue Bai answered rhetorically.

Sticking out her tongue, Xiao'er didn't respond and merely turned around and closed her eyes on the couch as if she wanted to fall asleep.

Seeing Xiao'er become unresponsive, Xue Bai just closed his eyes and started to examine his cultivation.

Ever since he broke through to the 9th stage of the Blood Exchange Realm, he had yet to see his gains.

'Let's see how strong the Peak of the Blood Exchange Realm makes me!'
