"Well, you are right. Maybe, I can marry you to pay you back," was Ricky's cheeky answer.
The teasing smile on his face widened when Edie scowled coldly. "Fuck off!"
he yelled before he left, and Ricky could only shrug helplessly, scratching his head with a crude grin.
Meanwhile, the Thousand-hand Emperor was a little surprised when he saw this, for he could tell that Edie was not really angry at Ricky. He was astounded to see Edie bickering with someone, and Edie seemed to care a lot about the white-haired man too. He had never seen anything like it before!
After all, Edie had never thought highly of any genius in this region.
'It seems that the so-called Kenney is not a simple person. He could not have drawn Edie's attention only by killing Redmond, so there must be something special about him,'
the Thousand-hand Emperor thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Ricky and the two girls had entered the castle's hall where the auction would be held.
In the center of the hall was the auction platform, surrounded by rows of seats. At present, the hall was already crowded with people, and most of the seats were occupied.
"It seems that we are late. Finding a seat will not be easy," Ricky murmured to the girls.
"There are a few private boxes upstairs, but I'm afraid they have all been booked by those big forces already. I'm afraid the three of us can't make it," Tina answered, worriedly wringing her hands together.
At this time, a young manservant came up to Ricky and said in a soft voice, "Mister Kenney, ladies, please follow me. Your box is ready."
"We have a private box?" Ricky blurted out, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Yes. Deacon Edie has arranged one for you three," answered the young manservant primly.
"I see. Please convey my thanks to him then,"
Ricky told the young man with a smile, gesturing for him to lead the way.
"Ricky, is it possible that Edie has a crush on you? I mean, why else would he arrange all these for you?" Tina asked with amusement once they had entered the comfortable private box.
"Wha—what are you talking about? I'm not interested in men!" Ricky looked flustered for a second, as he shook his head fervently.
Thankfully, the auctioneer interrupted them, as the auction was about to start. "We will be starting now, so please settle down!"
The first items to be auctioned off were the items. These included the lower-grade Treasures from Heaven and Earth, lower-grade Omnipotent Skills, and incomplete demi-sacred weapons.
And these items were usually bought by the warriors who were sitting on the seats outside.
It was not until more than half of the items had been sold that the better and rare items started to be auctioned off.
"The next auction item is a Sage Level treasure, the Aquatic Fruit. I believe everyone knows its function quite well, right?" the auctioneer said as he presented a transparent fruit to the awed audience.
He had not even finished speaking, but the entire hall seemed to have lost. An uproar immediately exploded, as all the people present fixed their greedy eyes on the fruit.
The worst Aquatic Fruits were at the middle grade of Sage Level. Thus, they were very appealing for every warrior below the Sage Level, especially for creatures that cultivated power with water element.
"Amelia, this fruit must be of great use to you, right? Let's buy it!" Ricky suddenly said, knowing that Amelia also cultivated the water element.
"Forget it!" she answered shyly. She felt that it would be too much for Ricky, so she just shook her head even though she did want the fruit.
Of course, the Aquatic Fruit was perfectly suitable for Amelia's Rainwater Mutant. However, she knew well that the cultivation resources she had were not enough to buy it, especially with all the stronger and richer forces around.
Since Ricky wanted the Chaotic Sword Intent Herb, she didn't want Ricky to spend his money to help her get the fruit with his cultivation resources. On the contrary, she wanted to leave her cultivation resources to him in case he needed them.
"Amelia, are you afraid that you don't have enough cultivation resources to buy it?" Tina asked with a smile on her face.
"Ha-ha, don't worry! With our help, it will be easy for you to get it," Ricky said in a smiling voice.
"No way! Don't you want to buy the Chaotic Sword Intent Grass? I can't let you spend cultivation resources on me when you might still need them later," she insisted, fervently shaking her head.
"Well, I said I was determined to get it, but I didn't say that I was going to get it through auction," Ricky mysteriously answered. "Even if the three of us put together all our cultivation resources and multiply it several times, it will still be impossible for us to win it over these big forces."
