Millennium Tension

Chapter 52: Before The Auction Starts

Aizen can interpret the question with multiple meanings, but he tries to understand the words of Axel now by using a system that connects them.

He finally understood what she meant, Axel always acted on his interests and had been the first decision to be considered, and because of their previous topics, she seemed to think differently and misinterpreted him.

"You meant it wrongly from our previous discussion, Axel. I have no intention of having children or intend to appoint anyone to that role. I already have Ana as my daughter, and that is enough."

Aizen then lifts Ana's body which sits on his right side to sit on his lap sideways before stroking her hair gently.

"Hehe..." Ana closed her eyes again and leaned her body fully on Aizen while purring softly with a smile on her face. The veil of the two of them had escaped when tickling the surprise just a moment ago.

Axel just nodded as if she understood and leaned back on his shoulder while waiting for the auction to open. She just wants to ascertain her master's interest at this time.

"Hey, what's with that silly smile. Aren't I the only one who hassles because of you?" Aizen looked at Ana who he hugged on his lap with an amused look.

"Hehe... Please always take care of me with love. I love you!" Ana knows what Aizen meant because she was the cause, but she was happy because of him and kissed Aizen's cheek before returning to her original position on his lap.

Aizen just shook his head slightly with a smile on his face and was happy because of that, he didn't have anyone else to accompany him for a long time, and only his wife and daughter were always with him. Unfortunately, his wife left Aizen and Ana forever, then an unexpected event occurred afterward that made Ana want to always be with her father.

Meanwhile, as the three of them continued their jokes and warm conversation about many things, there were some women who approached Zi Mei who was waiting outside the VIP room.

"Ara, isn't this junior Zi Mei? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be preparing for the auctioneer as usual?"

What came up was a young woman in a red dress uniform who usually played the maid of honor for the bidder in the VIP room later.

"Senior Yan Li, Master Yin has just asked me to be a maid of honor for his honored guest. Maybe he will send someone else for that task later." Zi Mei saluted by clasped her hand together.

"Oh, is that so? Fufu... Eh? Wait a minute, Master Yin contacted me." Yan Li who wanted to say something further was suddenly contacted through her talisman.

The Talisman is a special communication talisman owned by all the core members in 'The Twilight Amphitheater', the auction house also works like a small class sect that treats its members as disciples with Master Yin as their Master.

"Um. I understand. Thank you, Master Yin." After receiving information from Master Yin, Yan Li looked at Zi Mei who looked confused with a happy expression.

"Junior Zi Mei! Master Yin entrusted the task of hosting the auction for me! Ah, I'm very happy now."

"Um, I'm glad to hear that." Zi Mei just smiled as if she was happy with her senior sister.

"Then I'll go first! I need to get ready. See you soon!" Yan Li waved her hand as she hurried away.

Zi Mei who became alone again in the corridor sighed a little. She has worked at this auction house for three years and has been an auctioneer for the past six months, and has been able to greatly improve her cultivation level from the bonus resources provided by Master Yin.

She wants to make both proud and help her parents and younger brother to have a better future by joining The Twilight Amphitheater. After her efforts all this time, she can finally achieve that goal.

Only this time, she felt that she was getting a little lost in her goals for what she wanted to achieve in the future.

After five minutes had passed after Zi Mei left the room, Aizen returned to wearing his half-face mask and removed their additional barrier, while Ana and Axel returned to wear their veils because Zi Mei would soon return.

*knock* *knock*

"Please come in."

"Then, excuse me." Zi Mei reentered the room and saw the honored guest she would accompany on the front couch while sitting close together, while the woman in the white dress happily sat on the lap of the man.

Strangely, she felt a little jealous of seeing their relationship. She, who was only introduced to the cold and hard world of cultivation seemed to get a new goal that she needed to achieve at this time.

Even though there is a large sofa and there is more than one, she doesn't dare to sit on the sofa and just stand next to them.

"The auction house has opened, and the auction will start in thirty minutes. While waiting for that, we will be playing beautiful music and melodies in the main hall stage." Zi Mei explained briefly.

"Yes, I can see it." Aizen nodded slightly while watching the guests of the auction tonight who kept coming to position themselves according to their seats. While on the stage in the main hall, a woman in a purple dress brings a zither to the center of the stage.

In the main hall which was rather dim with only the spotlights on the stage, suddenly a beautiful zither melody was heard as the woman's graceful fingers began to pluck zither strings skillfully. Following the melody, the play of light began to enliven the atmosphere of the stage in the main hall.

"Miss Zi Mei, please sit there. Don't just stand right next to me." Aizen asks that sounds like commanding while pointing to the other part of the wide sofa with his left hand.

"But..."

"Sit."

Aizen gave no other choice. He just felt uncomfortable if she just stood beside him while they sat on the comfortable and spacious couch, not to mention during the auction until it finished. He just doesn't have the heart to.

"If so, excuse me." Zi Mei obeyed the order of the honored guest she did not know her name and sat on the other side of the sofa that was pointed earlier.

A maid of honor sitting together with guests in the VIP room is something she has never encountered while working here even with her senior's story.

Usually, they only ignore the maid of honor for standing and only give orders just because of the transaction of the goods they are bidding or the information they want.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel plus Zi Mei sat together on the sofa while watching the melody of the zither music performance that was held on the stage in the main hall.

Thirty minutes they passed in the zither melody without anyone talking in the room.

In contrast to Aizen and the two girls who continued their conversation through their thoughts about the performance they were watching, Zi Mei actually began to enter the reverie while glancing at the three distinguished guests who seemed to have a harmonious and romantic relationship.

It is natural for a great man to have more than one woman as his Dao companion.

After reaching her goal to make her family proud and help them to have a better future. She began to imagine herself having a great man as her Dao companion who will always accompany her in this cultivation world, and maybe that would be her current goal.
