    Chapter 8

    For Yan Yunqing, bidding for auction items wasn’t difficult. He had many valuable things in his backpack. The bound equipment and outfits couldn’t be taken out, but taking out one or two of the other miscellaneous unbound items was no problem at all.

    Anything that could be put in the Demon King’s backpack, even trash, was valuable.

    And the gold coins, the universal currency, were already filled to the limit. You should never underestimate a base-building maniac’s hoarding habits.

    Yan Yunqing was mainly concerned with: how he could smoothly leave this place after the auction ended.

    So, he had to first figure out the so-called detection methods. If they couldn’t break through with their current abilities, they could only create chaos and take the opportunity to escape.

    “Lillian, can you teach me that prank magic you mentioned earlier now?”

    Yan Yunqing picked up Lillian, who was buried in the fruit platter, frantically inhaling, “You’re supposed to be an elf, how come you act like you’ve never eaten anything good before?”

    Lillian’s collar was pinched in Yan Yunqing’s hand, and she held a fruit, raising her face, which was stained red, “But this is really super delicious—”

    Yan Yunqing: …

    Seeing that Yan Yunqing’s expression wasn’t good, Lillian coughed lightly, threw away the fruit she was holding, and clapped her hands, “You mean that magic? The magic personally researched by the great Lady Lillian—”

    She raised her chin. If her face wasn’t still covered in red juice, she might have looked a bit imposing, but unfortunately, it completely fell apart.

    “Teaching you is certainly no problem, but—this is our elven magic! Before, I taught you the magic researched by the first Elf King in order to escape, which was already a gift. Now you still want to learn…”

    Lillian rubbed her hands, and Yan Yunqing actually saw a bit of… lewdness on her face?

    Oh no, perhaps the word ‘cunning’ should be used to describe a beautiful fantasy creature.

    But Yan Yunqing really thought this action was very lewd.

    Seeing that Yan Yunqing had no reaction, Lillian was disappointed, “Eh? You have no reaction at all? What you want to learn is the magic researched by the great Lady Lillian!”

    Yan Yunqing bent his index finger, interlocked it with his thumb, and flicked Lillian’s forehead hard, sending Lillian flying far away.

    “Ouch!” Lillian rolled a few times in the air, finally stopped with difficulty, covered her reddened forehead, and stomped her feet in mid-air, “You rude fellow! I’m not talking to you anymore!”

    Yan Yunqing narrowed his eyes. From the beginning, he had felt that Lillian’s image was a bit incongruous. She did look like a naive elf Cub, but it didn’t match the wisdom she displayed at all.

    Although she claimed to be a Cub who had just been born not long ago, she could even access the magic notes of the first Elf King and could always explain things he didn’t understand. Lillian was definitely not as naive and harmless as she portrayed.

    Being deceived by humans into the Auction House, being locked in a magic restriction bottle, and being sold off at any time.

    Having experienced these things, the real reaction should be like that mermaid in the tank, anxious and restless, constantly hitting the glass with her tail, trying to escape even knowing it was impossible.

    Or like the other beastmen Cub s locked in cages, if not crying, at least they should be fearful and vigilant.

    But Lillian’s performance was too strange. She even amused herself in the glass bottle, drawing a smiley face with her breath when she had nothing to do.

    When she saw that Yan Yunqing could leave, she didn’t sound too eager when she asked for help, and she started munching on fruits heartlessly as soon as she escaped, as if she was sure that she wouldn’t encounter much trouble.

    Was this something a Cub who had just been born could show? Or had all the elves mutated now?

    Yan Yunqing dared to assert: this Guy definitely had a secret.

    But they were still allies now, and before they completely escaped, this secret shouldn’t affect him.

    Lillian, with her hands on her hips and her back to Yan Yunqing, perked up her ears, but never heard Yan Yunqing apologize. She hesitated and glanced back, only to find that Yan Yunqing was lost in thought again.

    “Hey hey! You little cat! Not cute at all!” Lillian stomped her feet, “You hit me, eh? Aren’t you going to apologize to me? Awful!”

    “Yeah yeah, sorry, I was wrong,” Yan Yunqing said perfunctorily.

    Lillian puffed out her cheeks and stared at Yan Yunqing for a long time, until Yan Yunqing felt a little uncomfortable, then she snorted.

    “Forget it, I’ll reluctantly forgive you,” Lillian said, “I can also teach you that magic, but I saw the two magics you cast before, you can’t control the output of magic power, right?”

    “My prank magic, according to the way you use all your magic power in one go, the power won’t just be a prank.”

    “And with your current level, even if you have more of that blue water, you won’t be able to cast a few prank magics.”

    Yan Yunqing frowned. Lillian was right. His current magic power limit was only one hundred. According to the effect of his previous magic, he couldn’t maintain it for a few seconds, and the power might be very great.

    When it really came time to create chaos and escape, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to create chaos for a few seconds before he fizzled out.

    Lillian flew slowly in front of Yan Yunqing, folded her arms, raised her nose very high, and made a strange noise: “Hmph hmph hmph—”

    Yan Yunqing paused, his eyes fell on Lillian’s small figure.

    A beastman and an elf met eyes, one second, two seconds, three seconds…

    Seeing that Yan Yunqing was aware, the smile on Lillian’s face immediately became more exaggerated, “Finally discovered me? I am now an elf who is not trapped by magic! The super invincible Lady Lillian!”

    “With the great Lady Lillian’s help, you can easily accomplish what you want to do!”

    “But! I won’t easily help you, unless you beg me,Hehe.”

    Yan Yunqing: …

    Yan Yunqing really wanted to complain about where Lillian learned this strange laughter from.

    Did the other world also have villains who laughed “Hehe”?

    Yan Yunqing sighed, and in Lillian’s increasingly smug smile, he said simply and neatly: “I beg you.”

    Lillian’s wings tilted, and the flight path of the whole elf shook. She was shocked, “You you you you—”

    “You just begged me like this?”

    “Huh?” Yan Yunqing suppressed a smile, but put on a strange expression, “Didn’t you want me to beg you?”

    “I I I—” Lillian’s brain short-circuited for a moment, “Huh, I, you, eh?”

    “So I beg you, are you going to help?” Yan Yunqing repeated word by word, “Great Lady Lillian.”

    “…” Lillian hugged her head and struggled for a while. Under Yan Yunqing’s gaze, she flew lower and lower, landed on Yan Yunqing’s leg, looked up at him, and finally compromised, “Okay, okay, you’ve called me that, so I can only reluctantly help you.”

    Rubbing her face, Lillian always felt that she had been tricked.

    It should be an illusion, right?

    Yan Yunqing shifted his gaze as if nothing had happened and redefined in his heart: Lillian might really have a secret, but she was indeed not very smart.

    “My prank magic is actually just a small explosion magic.”

    “The power is not very great. It is a method of compressing wind and fire elements, allowing the two to merge and destroy in the magic Pattern, creating a huge illusion. To put it simply, the sound is very loud, but it only Blasted a little bit of place.”

    “And this magic doesn’t only have the spell method, I can also empower it on an item, let this thing explode after a certain period of time.”

    Speaking of this, Lillian’s expression became proud again. It could be seen that she was very proud of the magic she had researched, “This is what I researched by combining the basic theory of alchemy.”

    Yan Yunqing glanced at Lillian strangely.

    According to what Lillian said, then she was using magic and alchemy to create a… bomb in this other world? Oh no, listening to the description, ‘firecracker’ was more suitable.

    However, Yan Yunqing, who knew something about the “Demon King” magic system, also recognized Lillian’s self-proclaimed title of magic genius after listening to Lillian’s introduction.

    There were two types of magic systems in “Demon King”. One was released through a very long spell, almost like reading the progress bar to release, and the other was that after reaching a certain level, low-level magic could be instantly released with a short word or phrase.

    Like what Lillian said, using magic to change the nature of an item, making it a ‘firecracker’, and releasing it after a certain period of time, this no longer belonged to the scope of magic.

    This was closer to alchemy, and it was a bit like the form of magic scrolls, but the manufacturing cost of magic scrolls was completely different from the nature of being able to empower magic to anything.

    No wonder Lillian said that she also borrowed from alchemy… Being able to combine these two together, it was no exaggeration to say that she was a genius.

    This guy… wouldn’t she be the next Elf King who had just been born? Didn’t Lillian say before that the elders in their clan also said that she had the posture of an Elf King!

    Yan Yunqing speculated irresponsibly.

    However, with Lillian’s magic, Yan Yunqing felt that the plan to create chaos and escape was more secure.

    While the two were discussing how to escape from this Auction House, the auction also began amidst much attention.

    The wall in front of their compartment suddenly started to mist, and then gradually became clear and transparent.

    This was actually a wall made of glass! It was just disguised by engraving a magic array. At first, it was not transparent, and Yan Yunqing and Lillian hadn’t even noticed it.

    Seeing the wall become transparent, Yan Yunqing suddenly stood up, wanting to hide Lillian, but Lillian stopped him, “It’s okay, this is just one-way magic glass, the auction is about to begin.”

    “You seem to be very familiar with alchemy?”

    Lillian stiffened, “Eh, is that so? Maybe it’s because I’ve read a lot of similar notes in the library? Our elven library has more books than the libraries of the two empires!”

    Yan Yunqing, who was just asking casually: So nervous? You have a ghost in your heart!

    As the band on site played impassioned music, a man in a tuxedo walked onto the stage, “Welcome to the Augreir Auction House, distinguished guests. I hope our auction house can bring you a wonderful evening today.”

    Under the rotating crystal lamp at the top of the dome, after a fiery dance performed by scantily clad dancers ended, the host officially announced the start of the Augreir Auction.

    Splendid, decadent.

    This was the true color of this auction.

    Like a jewel surrounded by flowers, the plant roots were constantly absorbing all the nutrients from the soil, making the flowers bloom extremely beautifully, further setting off the jewel’s expensiveness.

    Looking at the bejeweled auction items that were constantly being pushed onto the stage, Yan Yunqing was eye-opening.

    This scene was something he had no chance to come into contact with in his world. He was just an ordinary student, but unexpectedly he suddenly transmigrated, and after experiencing a series of difficult self-rescues, he could actually experience the life of the upper class.
