Tina's aura was very unstable at that time, as if it was about to break out at any moment. Fortunately, she finally managed to control it.
"What's going on, Tina? Does the spiritual emperor's skeleton make you uncomfortable for some reason?" Ricky asked in concern.
"Not exactly!" Tina said. "Although the power of the ruling rule within the skeleton has been sealed by the array, the strong resonance connected with my blood can't be blocked by the array."
Tina's eyes filled with tears at that moment.
"That person must have been one of my clansmen when he was alive. I'm also sure that his bloodline was very close to mine. He must be an elder from my family!"
"What? He was an elder from your family?!" Ricky and Soar asked loudly in shock upon hearing what Tina said.
"Yes! It's true!" Tina nodded her head with tears welling up in her eyes.
The skeleton of her clan elder was being sold in the auction. It really made her uncomfortable and sad. Nobody would be happy under those circumstances.
"Ricky, it seems that we must try to obtain this skeleton," Soar said. "According to the current situation, we can only snatch the skeleton after the auction is completed because we have no money."
"It's a good idea to snatch it, but it is not enough to rely on the energy orb that was left behind by Doris. The forces of these completed spiritual kings must be much more than the power that we can see apparently," Ricky said.
"Consequently, the safest way to do things is still to buy it through the auction."
"We don't have enough gold coins anymore though. How can we buy it through the auction? Do you plan to give up Tina's Devil-suppressing Jade in exchange for it?" Soar asked.
"I don't want to give up the Devil-suppressing Jade in exchange for the skeleton," Tina said in a hurry upon hearing Soar's words. Her delicate hands clutched that small Devil-suppressing Jade.
"It's Ricky who gave it to me, so I don't want to give it up!" Tina explained the reason she wanted to keep it in a very faint voice.
The skeleton of her clan elder was surely important to her. However, Tina was experiencing the first awakenings of being in love at that time, so Ricky was even more important.
After saying that, Tina seemed very bashful. She wished she could find a crack in the ground and hide inside it.
Ricky and Soar were surprised at first upon hearing Tina say that. After a second, Soar laughed out loud. As for Ricky, he was a little overwhelmed by Tina's words.
The two people and the dragon managed to control their reactions and calm down soon after.
"That Devil-suppressing Jade is a present to you. Naturally, I won't use it to exchange for the skeleton. Tina, please rest assured, I will help you obtain the skeleton!" Ricky subsequently said to Tina.
Ricky seemed a little full of himself at that moment. He also had some special feelings deep down for Tina. He was determined to help Tina get the skeleton that she wanted.
It was perhaps because Ricky wanted to show himself off in front of such a beautiful girl that he had feelings for.
It was also totally understandable though. After all, Ricky was just a hot-blooded demi-immortal warrior. It was normal for him to be impulsive for the sake of a pretty girl.
'Am I too fickle in love? I've wanted to be with Xenia, Master Grace, and Tina. I think I have special feelings for all of them, ' Ricky thought to himself at that moment.
"Well then, what should we do? Even if we take out all that we have now, we still wouldn't be able to raise 600, 000 gold coins," Soar said seriously with no more jokes in mind.
"Ricky, just give it up. I can wait until Doris is back, and then tell her about it," Tina said lightly.
"Tina, I may not be able to offer enough gold coins, but there is still something I can offer. I believe the thing I have is worth four million gold coins still," Ricky said.
"Ricky, I never knew that you still had something that is worth four million gold coins with you. Show it to me, please," Soar said curiously upon hearing what Ricky said.
