Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Golden Hall Auction House

Standing in front of a tall 4-story golden bricked pagoda with a sign that had familiar-looking handwriting printed on it, Xue Bai didn't know what to say.

"Xiao'er, didn't I say we shouldn't go to Mother's Auction House?" Xue Bai spoke after a few seconds of silence.

"It's fine, Young Master. I brought veils!" Xiao'er proudly announced as she pulled out two black veils that covered everything from the cheekbones down.

"Then how are we going to get a booth if we don't rely on our identities?" Xue Bai didn't believe Xiao'er thought this far through.

"Ta-Da!" Xiao'er cheered as she pulled out a golden card.

It was a Golden VIP Card that only high-profile guests of Golden Hall Auction House could. In order just to be put on its waitlist, you had to spend over 5000 Spirit Stones.

With that, not only could they get a booth, but they could also get a loan of up to a thousand spirit stones, which was enough to buy a Peak Yellow Grade item potentially.

"How did you even get that?" Xue Bai asked with confusion apparent in his tone.

"Easy! I asked Mistress, and she gave me one. As the owner of the Auction House, she had a few lying around in her spatial ring." Xiao'er announced proudly with her hands on her hips.

"You… Why do you want to go to this Auction House so badly?" Xue Bai couldn't help but ask after seeing Xiao'er look so prepared.

"Because the Golden Hall Auction House will protect us! Have you not heard of young and naive children bidding with their parent's money but also offending an elder of a high-ranking institution? Then after the Auction ends, the elder goes and kills the child and steals the item." Xiao'er started speaking with her knowledge from the many s she had read.

"If we go to either of the two other Auction Houses, that would happen to us. But the Golden Hall Auction House made by Mistress is known for protecting each and every bid winner until they arrive safely."

"Yes, but that service comes with a high fee Xiao'er." Xue Bai reminded.

"Young Master, we have more Spirit Stones than stones. A little extra money won't hurt our wealth." Xiao'er spoke as she put on her veil.

"Xiao'er, you don't expect me to put on this veil, do you?" Xue Bai asked.

Xue Bai looked extremely feminine all throughout his life. And it only got worse after he got the 9-tailed Fox Bloodline, where he gained a seductive aura. The only thing that gave away his male gender was his Adam's apple and chiseled chin.

However, the veil covered both of them and only showed his long eyelashes and jade-like skin. If Xue Bai put the veil on, he would look like any other city toppling beauty in the making, as they would correlate his flat chest with his age, thinking Xue Bai hadn't gotten his growth spurt yet.

"Young Master put it on. What's the worst that could happen? If anything, as long as you reveal your identity, everyone would back away in fear." Xiao'er calmly persuaded as she put the veil on for Xue Bai.

Seeing that Xiao'er had a point, Xue Bai let her put the veil on for him, as he had no idea how to tie it properly.

The process was quick, and after tying it nicely around Xue Bau's head, the veil was set.

And from the effeminate-looking boy, Xue Bai turned into an icy cold beauty that was still budding.

"Xiao'er, be honest. Do I even have a resemblance to a man with this veil on?" Xue Bai asked.

"Young Master, which answer do you want? The one that helps your pride, or the truth." Xiao'er responded.

"The truth. Xiao'er, my pride isn't helpful here." Xue Bai said.

"Then no, Young Master, you look nothing like a man currently. If anything, I'm honestly a little jealous of your beauty currently." Xiao'er said with a straight face.

"Xiao'er, then why didn't you get me a mask or something not so blatantly feminine?" Xue Bai asked as he clasped his forehead.

Not wanting to answer the question, Xiao'er turned around and strolled into the Auction House.

Inside they saw a magnificent interior where gold was the main color, with a long hall that led into a huge auditorium. Golden Hall Auction House was the most beautiful building Xue Bai had seen in his entire life.

However, before they could explore, a female attendant approached them with a bright smile.

"These two Young Misses, are you here to attend our Auction?" The attendant asked as the smile still on her face got wider.

Unlike any protagonist would, Xue Bai and Xiao'er both were dressed in expensive and showy clothes. And the female attendant seeing that, immediately adopted her nicest smile and attitude.

Also, along with the fact that Xiao'er never wore maid clothing, the attendant assumed that Xue Bai and Xiao'er were two noble girls out trying to have fun at an auction.

Not bothering to correct the girl's mistake, Xue Bai nodded at Xiao'er, who then pulled out the Golden VIP Card.

"We want a private booth for the auction. Is that alright?" Xiao'er asked politely.

Seeing the card, the female attendant was stunned for a moment before the smile on her face widened even more.

"Of course, there is a private booth available. Young Nobles, please wait a moment while I get a manager to take you there." The attendant replied with a bow. Even going as far as to change the way to address Xue Bai and Xiao'er.

Alone with each other, Xue Bai and Xiao'er started talking about the Golden Hall Auction House and its grandeur interior to pass the time.

And soon enough, a well-dressed man with a handlebar mustache grew well enough to make any man jealous appeared along with the female attendant from earlier.

"Noble Guests! Please follow me. I'll take you both to the Private Room we have prepared for you." As he got within earshot of Xue Bai and Xiao'er, the man announced his purpose, wasting no time, and began to escort them to their booth.

Following the man and the attendant, Xiao'er asked, "You two, what are your names so we can remember in the future?"

"This one's name is Hong Li, while the girl under me is Yan Chenyu." The man named Hong Li responded.

Nodding calmly, Xiao'er didn't ask any more questions.

Following the Manager up a few sets of stairs, the group of four soon reached their destination.

"Noble Guests, this will be your booth for the auction. Would either of you like to use the loan of 1000 spirit stones we give to any Golden VIP Card members?" Hong Li asked before he opened the door.

Though Xue Bai wasn't sure if other people knew his voice, Xue Bai wanted to keep his identity a secret, he didn't plan to talk. So he looked at Xiao'er, who then spoke out his thoughts.

"There will be no need for the loan," Xiao'er replied as she shook her head.

What a joke. Xue Bai was the son of your boss. Even if we took all of your money, what could you say? And what money did they lack as the heir to a Dukedom and his personal maid?

"Then, Noble Guests, I will leave you two your booth by yourself." Hong Li said as he opened the door for them.

As Hong Li guided them in, he showed Xue Bai and Xiao'er how to bid and turn on the arrays that block others from seeing inside the booth before leaving Xue Bai and Xiao'er alone.
