"Out!" she glared at him. "Now!"
"Oh! Alright!" He was smirking at her. Why does he look so happy? Did he see her naked body? Just the thought made her blush. After making sure that Mo Li was already out of the bathroom, she immediately finished her bath and wore her clothes without the assistance of her servant.
She wasn't surprised to see him sitting on her bed. "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you."
She furrowed her brows.
"Since you already changed your clothes, then we should just leave."
"The auction is— "
"It will start in thirty minutes. Also, the news that someone sold a talisman is already spreading. A lot of people arrive earlier to join the auction."
"Oh." That was expected. She hid the smile on her face and cleared her throat. "Ahem… I'm glad to hear that."
"If you needed money, you know you can always use mine, right?"
"I know." But spending her own money just has a distinct feeling. She didn't know how she got this sudden emotion, but she felt excited about it. Just the thought of earning is making her… happy.
Strange.
Why does it look like she loved money so much?
Was it because of Rhea's real personality? However, Rhea… was a bit naive about money. She was treated like a princess and got everything that she wanted. Her sense of business isn't strong either.
Perhaps it was Lily?
She lowered her head, her gaze complicated.
Just who is Lily?
Just the thought of her real self dampened her mood.
"You look sad?"
His brown eyes stared back at her.
"I'm fine. I just hope that I would earn enough for my palace."
[Host is talented and brilliant. Bee is confident that the host will earn a lot today.]
'Fucking robot!' she cursed inwardly. 'It was your task to help me! Why are you not doing anything to help me earn money?'
[That is beyond Bee's capability.]
[Host should work hard to upgrade Bee.]
'Whatever!'
'Why are you even talking to me?'
'Did I ask you to talk?'
'So annoying.'
This damn system is too expensive! And it really isn't doing anything to help her aside from issuing missions. Alright, it had the ability to scan too, but that was it. Why can't it produce money? Or give her shiny diamonds and gold?
Wait… what was she thinking?
"As your future companion, I can afford to create a palace for you."
"That's alright. I am certain that my talismans could earn a few hundred millions." At least she was very confident about this matter. Her talismans were all unique. She even included sets of talismans for this auction.
"Aren't you scared that people will use it to murder other people?"
"Ah… no." Rhea smiled mischievously. People who had bad intentions won't be able to use the talisman. That is the only condition that she included in creating those stuff.
"Really? You don't care if they use it to kill other people? Unless…. You added something?"
Again, she just smiled at him. "People without good intentions cannot use it."
As expected, Mo Li lifted an eyebrow. She gave him a proud smile. Lily's brain worked so fast, Rhea's brain couldn't catch up. There are times that she would have headaches when she concentrates and analyzed something. Lily was sure that this was because Rhea didn't have a powerful body in the first place. Moreover, she was poisoned when she was in the church too.
It didn't take too long for them to arrive at the auction house. When Mo Li gave them his card, they were immediately taken to the topmost floor where the VVIP rooms are located. Along the way, whispers can be heard from the people who spotted them.
'Wasn't that the priestess?'
'Why is she here?'
'I heard her sister miscarried?'
'Perhaps she is here to obtain some medicine for her sister?'
'But she can heal people, right?'
Rhea only smirked as she thought of how everyone is already starting to think that everything that the priestess does is good. This is why public opinion matters the most for public officials. One wrong rumor and everything that you will do in the future can be associated with that nasty rumor.
"I can see that you are enjoying this?" Mo Li asked the moment they arrive inside the room. The room was luxurious and big. What was especially attractive inside the room were the candlelights that act like a chandelier.
Realizing that she was staring at the sparkling candles, Mo Li added, "Those sparkling things are made with magic."
"Oh?" she nodded. "And yes, I am enjoying this."
'Robot, can you scan this auction house?'
[Scanning in 3…2…1]
Beep
[Scanning complete.]
[No poison detected.]
[No magical device inside the room detected.]
[No talisman device inside the room detected.]
[Larsen detected two rooms away]
[Crown Prince detected on the first floor]
[Bishop detected on the third floor]
Oh? Rhea hid the smile on her face. It seems that the system can also identify people aside from poisons and magical device? Oh well… that is fantastic.
"The Crown Prince is here."
"Really?" Mo Li cocked an eyebrow.
"Yes, he is on the first floor."
"Must be using a disguise? The first floor is for common people."
But why would he be here?
"The bishop is also here. Third floor."
"You think…"
Rhea only smiled in response. The greedy fish already took her bait. Now, all she had to do is help the church spend more money to buy her talisman. "I am sure they will buy it and introduce themselves to intimidate other buyers," Rhea added. "So… you should buy it. I mean… help them buy it."
Just as she expected, Mo Li didn't ask any questions and just gave her a mischievous smile.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
The loud drum echoed inside the whole venue. The people on all of the floors immediately smiled, excitement was thick in the air. It was the signal, the loud sound that the auction is going to start.
