Chapter 166: Bella’s Little Tail
Kailun saw many interesting emotions in Ella’s eyes. His period of neglect had made her reflect on herself.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her slightly, bringing their bodies closer.
To find a more comfortable position, Ella stood on her tiptoes, leaning against Kailun’s chest, her lower abdomen rubbing against his.
Their gazes met, and she saw the amusement in Kailun’s eyes.
“How is the progress on establishing the new trade route?”
Kailun asked a question contrary to Ella’s desires. Disappointment flickered in her eyes.
Playing hard to get was a unique art. Mastering the distance could make Ella fall for him faster.
Although she wasn’t as special as Vivian, her position was worth Kailun’s attention.
“The related work is almost complete. It can be put into use at any time,” Ella replied, pushing against Kailun’s chest, trying to move away.
“Don’t be in such a hurry. I’m not finished yet.”
Kailun chuckled, not letting go. “Philip has been performing very well recently and deserves to be entrusted with more responsibilities. You can hand over the work outside the Xiya Kingdom to him. I will allocate resources to enhance his strength and promote him to the rank of Earl. This should lighten your burden. Come back to the manor and play when you have time. It’s quite lively there now.”
Although the focus seemed to be on Philip’s arrangements, Ella’s attention was drawn to the last sentence.
His subtle words pleased her, and a charming smile appeared on her lips.
Ella: “I understand. I’ll make the arrangements later.”
[Ella’s Goodwill +5, Total Goodwill 55]
Satisfied with her reaction, Kailun released Ella, allowing her to leave the room and attend to her work.
The auction was about to start in ten minutes. She had to make some preparations.
Kailun turned to Carol and Bella, who were sitting obediently. “Come and sit. Don’t be shy.”
“Coming!” Carol responded and ran to Kailun’s side, sitting on his right.
Bella hesitated for a few seconds before sitting on his left.
“Little Bella, aren’t you afraid that I’ll devour you if you’re so close to me?” Kailun wrapped his arms around their shoulders, pulling them closer.
He was surrounded by their soft bodies, their delicate skin pressed against his arms.
The old Dragon King wasn’t here, so he wasn’t worried that his actions would trigger a ninth-rank battle.
Kailun suspected that he could “devour” this naive dragon girl at any time. She probably wouldn’t resist.
“Ah?”
Bella looked surprised at first, then blinked her beautiful eyes. “That’s not very appropriate. You should at least leave me something, like babies.”
Being devoured wasn’t a bad thing. The bad thing was not being able to reproduce.
Kailun: “…”
Well, she was even more direct than him.
Kailun was only thinking about “devouring,” while Bella was already thinking about “divorce with two kids.”
Her thinking was so advanced that Kailun felt left behind.
“Alright, I’ll satisfy you later. Since you’ve offered yourself to me, I won’t refuse such a delicious meal.”
Kailun chuckled helplessly. Her easy acceptance made him feel a bit guilty.
Fortunately, he didn’t have much of a conscience, so this guilt was negligible.
He didn’t touch Shirley because she was a fool in the past, but Bella was different. The fresh and delicious Bella perfectly met Kailun’s standards of beauty.
“Can we do it now? Or after we go back tonight?” Bella asked eagerly.
She leaned closer to Kailun, almost sitting on his lap. Her slender dragon tail had somehow found its way onto his back, moving excitedly.
The soft touch felt like a teasing caress. Bella was expressing her desire in her own unique way.
As Kailun had said, she didn’t have much time left, so she needed to achieve her goal quickly.
The higher the rank, the more difficult it was to reproduce. She was eighth-rank, and Kailun was probably ninth-rank. The probability of her getting the desired “fruit” was very low.
Therefore, Bella wanted to achieve her goal as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
Skipping the formalities and getting straight to the point was her preferred method.
She wanted to apologize to Carol because she was about to “steal” him.
“Master, the auction is about to start~”
Carol couldn’t stand it anymore. She reminded Kailun with a soft voice.
Not only that, but she also secretly rubbed her thigh against his foot, trying to get his attention.
The plan had changed. The foolish dragon, Bella, couldn’t be trusted. They were now competitors.
“We’ll talk about our feelings later. Let’s focus on buying those two unlucky elves first.”
Kailun released Bella and took out his communication device. He wrote a magic letter in front of the two girls and sent it to Afra.
“Keep an eye on the eighth-rank mage from the Temple. Eliminate her if necessary.”
His simple words sent a chill down Bella’s spine. Kailun’s methods were more ruthless than she had imagined.
This made her… like him even more!
[Bella likes your dominance. Goodwill +2, Total Goodwill 82]
Dragons were a dominant race. It was in their nature to respect the strong. Moreover, Bella already had some affection for Kailun, so the increase in goodwill was only natural.
Carol commented, “It’s very much your style.”
“Right? I’ve always been ruthless. So, knowing the truth, will you two dislike me?” Kailun put away his communication device.
Carol answered sincerely, “I’m your maid. I will always follow your lead, right or wrong.”
Her words were more genuine than gold. The current Carol was completely devoted to Kailun.
This “final boss” he had picked up had completely taken on his shape.
Kailun didn’t say any words of gratitude. He just patted Carol’s head affectionately.
Although he didn’t say anything, his eyes gave the answer.
Bella was envious of their silent communication. She was far from reaching that level of understanding with Kailun. To catch up, she had to take a risk.
Speaking of risks, Bella’s eyes curved into a shy smile. She secretly slipped her tail under Kailun’s clothes and moved it towards his…
The sudden change made Kailun’s hand tremble, almost pulling out a handful of Carol’s white hair.
In pain, Carol looked at Kailun with a grievance.
“Ahem, the auction has started. Let’s focus on the auction.”
Kailun coughed awkwardly. He gently turned Carol’s head, making her look at the venue downstairs.
He hadn’t expected the innocent Bella to be so bold. Her smooth, snake-like tail was cool to the touch, sending shivers down his spine every time it brushed against his chest.
Bella’s long tail was incredibly agile. It could not only sweep across every inch but also wrap around him, binding him tightly.
His lower body tightened, and his heart raced. To avoid being discovered, Kailun could only distract Carol.
But he forgot that Carol’s senses were extremely sharp. He couldn’t hide his emotional changes from her.
Soon, Carol pouted, looking at the venue downstairs with a grievance.
She wasn’t an ally; she was a heartless, hungry dragon!
“Welcome, everyone. I believe you all know that three special items will be added to the auction today. They are the last elf twins, a ninth-rank bird, and the Lucky Potion that can greatly increase mental power in a short time…”
In Carol’s eyes, Ella had already taken the stage and was introducing the main items for today’s auction. Her brief introduction successfully heated up the atmosphere.
The remaining elf twins could attract the attention of most wealthy individuals. The ninth-rank green-feathered bird could attract powerful forces, and the Lucky Potion was the key to breakthroughs for some strong individuals.
As soon as Ella finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience. They were eager to see these precious items.
Apart from the Temple of the Celestial God, only the Balance Chamber of Commerce had ever auctioned elves. But this was the first time a ninth-rank mage was being auctioned.
For many kingdoms, the strength of an eighth-rank mage was enough to stabilize the situation, while a ninth-rank mage was fully capable of expanding their territory and achieving great things.
Carol’s attention was drawn to the two elves. She was curious about what they looked like. The only non-human races she had ever seen were the Fox and Bella, the dragon girl.
“Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let’s start with the elf twins, one of the highlights of this auction. Please note that the starting price for each elf is 50,000 gold coins, and the minimum bid increment is 10,000 gold coins. If you don’t have enough gold coins, you can use high-rank magic books or high-value scrolls as collateral. Of course, other items of equal value are also acceptable.”
Ella first looked around the venue and then smiled at the central VIP room. She felt that Kailun would like the gift she had prepared.
Thinking of this, she waved her hand, and her knights carried a huge pink bed onto the stage. Because it was covered with thick curtains, the audience couldn’t see inside and could only guess that the two elves were inside.
“I’ve had the twin elves brought up. I can assure you that they are absolutely beautiful and absolutely pure. The entire auction process will be handled by female servants.”
Ella pointed at the bed and continued, “These are the last elves. If you miss this opportunity, you’ll probably never be able to buy such perfect elf slaves again.”
The starting price of 50,000 gold coins was very high, but today’s auction had attracted many wealthy individuals, and many of them were interested in elves.
However, some people asked Ella to open the curtains and let everyone see what the elves looked like. But Ella refused, citing the need to protect the privacy of the buyer’s property.
This explanation was met with approval from the audience. After all, for those who were interested in elves, they wouldn’t usually show their “toys” to outsiders.
Most people had a mental image of the elves’ beauty. After all, there had never been an ugly elf.
Only those who wanted to feast their eyes were disappointed.
“100,000 gold coins! I want both!”
“120,000 gold coins! Both!”
“…”
Bids came one after another, quickly reaching a high price of 180,000 gold coins.
However, after 180,000 gold coins, the bidding slowed down significantly. No one’s money grew on trees. Whether it was worth spending 180,000 gold coins on two “toys” was a question worth pondering.
“300,000 gold coins!”
At this moment, a cold male voice came from the largest VIP room on the second floor. Those who had heard it before would recognize it as Kailun’s voice.
Even those who didn’t recognize his voice could guess his identity based on the location of the room.
For this kind of auction, Kailun didn’t bother hiding.
“300,000 gold coins in one go. It seems the new King of the Xiya Kingdom has made a lot of money.”
“That’s right. Not to mention the magic crystal mine being developed, even the trade route in the Malaga Kingdom alone can bring him a lot of tax revenue. Moreover, unlike us, this Chamber of Commerce is probably connected to him, so he might be able to pay ten percent less commission.”
“Even with ten percent less, it’s still a huge sum. 300,000 gold coins! I could spend my entire life at the most expensive brothel in the world with that much money.”
“It seems that this big shot’s harem is about to expand again. I heard that he has already taken all five beauties of the Xiya Kingdom. It’s insane! I’m so envious.”
“…”
Many people recognized Kailun’s identity and started discussing among themselves.
Most of the people here weren’t from the Xiya Kingdom, so they didn’t have much awe for Kailun.
They had heard stories about him, but many thought they were just exaggerated legends. How could someone grow from first-rank to eighth or ninth-rank in just one month?
“320,000 gold coins! I also want both!”
Just when everyone thought Kailun would successfully win the two elf slaves, a person in a black robe sitting in the back row on the first floor raised their hand.
Paul: “!!!”
Charles: “!!!”
Paul and Charles looked at the black-robed person beside them in shock. They couldn’t understand why this fourth-rank mage was crazy enough to bid such a high price.
Even Paul, who wanted to make the auction more difficult for Kailun, held back. After all, he didn’t dare to attract Kailun’s attention.
But the main reason was that he had no use for the elf slaves. Now, his eyes were only on Harry.
They exchanged glances, afraid that this suicidal idiot would attract Kailun’s attention.
They had entered the auction to ensure that the people they had arranged would successfully bid for Henry. To conceal their identities, they hid in a corner.
But they hadn’t expected to be affected. While cursing in their hearts, they heard Kailun’s voice, calm and unwavering. “340,000 gold coins.”
Hearing that Kailun’s voice hadn’t changed, Paul and Charles breathed a sigh of relief and silently moved away from the black-robed person.
……
“Interesting. I didn’t expect these two guys to actually sneak in. It seems we need to enhance the Chamber of Commerce’s security.”
After making a new bid, Kailun couldn’t help but chuckle.
Paul was truly amusing. He never learned his lesson after so many times.
But he could understand. After all, Henry held a great attraction for Paul. The temptation of becoming a ninth-rank mage wasn’t something ordinary people could resist.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Just as Kailun was about to launch a counterattack on both Carol and Bella, there was a knock on the door of the VIP room.
Logically, there were guards outside the door. No one could knock without permission.
He carefully sensed the unfamiliar aura at the door and said, “Come in.”
“Clack, clack, clack…”
Two pairs of light footsteps approached the door. Two people in robes entered the room and closed the door. They spoke in unison, “Excuse us, Lord Kailun. President Ella asked us to meet our future master.”
Then they walked towards Kailun.
Hearing the words “future master,” Kailun understood their identities.
He looked at the large bed in the center of the venue with a playful gaze. So Ella had deceived everyone. These two elves were never on the stage.
Soon, the two tall elves stood respectfully in front of them.
They glanced at Bella, surprised to see the Dragon Princess here, sitting intimately beside Kailun.
“Take off your robes. Let me see what you look like.”
Kailun withdrew his hands from Carol and Bella, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity.
The word “elf” in the human world was often synonymous with perfect playthings, ultimate slaves, dream lovers…
These labels were all due to the Temple of the Celestial God’s propaganda. After all, they wanted to sell the captured elves for a higher price.
“Um…”
The two elves hesitated for a second before taking off their robes in front of Kailun.
“Whoosh~”
As their robes fell, two heads of light green hair first caught Kailun’s eye. It was a natural color, soothing to the eyes.
Looking at their faces, the two elves had flawless features and snow-white skin.
They both had dark green eyes, filled with a helpless panic.
Below that were their slender necks and curvy figures. They were both wearing long dresses, their bare feet seemingly touching the ground.
Looking closely, their feet weren’t actually touching the ground. A special magic created a thin layer of air between their feet and the floor.
They looked exactly alike. It was impossible to tell them apart at first glance.
Kailun’s gaze finally landed on the elves’ characteristic pointed ears. This time, he noticed a difference. Their ears differed in length by 0.5 centimeters.
In terms of appearance, they were top-tier. Moreover, both elves were sixth-rank, not weak at all.
They looked very natural and pure, a different kind of purity compared to Saint Chrissy. They were pure in a more innocent way.
Just looking at their innocent faces aroused a desire to bully them.
No wonder elves had so many titles. Even Kailun was a bit tempted.
So he turned to Bella and asked, “If I buy them and bully them as I please, would you mind?”
Bella shook her head. “I wouldn’t mind. You’re their savior, aren’t you?”
As she spoke, Bella tightened her tail around him. The heat from her tail almost made her give up, but she managed to hold on.
Today, Bella had opened the door to “restraint.” She was surprised to discover that her tail could be as agile as her hands.
“Hiss~”
Kailun couldn’t help but gasp. With everyone watching, he had to maintain his composure. He raised his hand and shouted, “One million gold coins! I want these two elves! If anyone else bids, I’ll just ‘release’ them.”
The so-called “release” was just a bluff to deter others from bidding. These two elves had already been marked as his.
He had heard that elves were a skilled race, so Kailun planned to have them help him… make furniture.
