Chapter 183 Fireworks Party
When the two of them arrived on the first floor, they found a car waiting at the hotel entrance for a long time.
Lu Zhi obediently followed him into the car and was taken to an auction.
It’s not like she hasn’t been to an auction before, but this is her first time attending an auction in Milan.
Most high-end auctions in China are conducted by assistants or subordinates who receive instructions remotely by phone.
So it’s actually rare to see the big guys behind the scenes at auctions.
But this auction in Milan is more casual and more like a private cocktail party.
The ladies of Milan dress casually.
Not everyone was wearing a formal suit and drinking. Some were wearing suit jackets and jeans, and some were wearing playful and hip-hop clothes.
In comparison, Lu Zhi's outfit is indeed not out of place.
Even too obedient.
She entered the venue arm in arm with Fu Linzhou. The people around her kept glancing at them with obvious surprise, but because of Fu Linzhou's status, they didn't dare to come forward and talk to him.
Lu Zhi said curiously, "This looks like a private auction."
Fu Linzhou took her to the front row and sat down: "Yes."
He explained, "It was a private auction held by Prince Noel of Milan. The items being auctioned were all used by cultivators."
Lu Zhi suddenly understood.
No wonder she felt the air here was different from other places as soon as she came in. It was full of spiritual energy and extremely comfortable.
She looked around curiously, and a waiter brought her some wine.
In the past, Fu Linzhou only drank this wine when attending Noel's banquet.
Noel naturally took it to heart and only served this kind of wine at the special seat reserved for him.
Lu Zhi smelled the salty and spicy taste, and curiously leaned close to the cup to smell it.
Fu Linzhou's slender fingers clasped the rim of the cup: "Children can't drink it."
He looked up and said something in Milanese to the waiter.
The waiter nodded respectfully, and before leaving, he did not forget to take a curious glance at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi felt a little depressed: "I'm not a child."
Fu Linzhou laughed: "Why not?"
Only children will go up to and sniff things they are curious about, like curious babies.
Lu Zhi was speechless.
Well, for a god who had lived for tens of thousands of years, she was a little young.
The venue was exceptionally quiet, but Fu Linzhou's seat was the distinguished first seat specially reserved by the prince, so naturally more people paid attention to him.
In previous years, Mr. Fu always came alone.
He suddenly brought a female companion this year, so everyone was naturally curious.
In the corner of the front row on the other side, Lin Zhier snuggled in Caesar's arms, serving him cherries.
Caesar's eyes fell on the little girl not far away with interest: "Is she Lu Zhi?"
Lin Zhier nodded reluctantly: "Yes."
Caesar stared at Lu Zhi's elf-like eyes, and suddenly curled his lips in a malicious manner: "It is indeed a delicious little dessert. No wonder Fu Linzhou likes it. I like it too."
Lin Zhier was jealous: "Isn't it enough for you to have me?"
Caesar just kept his eyes fixed on Lu Zhi who was not far away, with the bad taste and gloomy and morbid desire for sadism spreading wildly in his eyes.
Lin Zhier was stunned for a moment, jealousy and joy intertwined in her heart and grew wildly.
For a man of Caesar's level, she had to endure so much humiliation while studying abroad, and had to put in so much effort to attract his attention.
Lu Zhi actually did it just with his face.
But on the other hand, she was secretly delighted.
Being targeted by Caesar is not a good thing.
She was very curious. After Lu Zhi experienced the same humiliation and dirty life as her, would she still be able to seduce Fu Linzhou with that face?
Here, the waiter quickly brought up a cup of hot dairy product.
Lu Zhi was a little depressed. He really treated her like a child.
She turned around and looked at Fu Linzhou unconvincedly: "I don't like drinking this kind of children's drink."
He smiled and said, "You can try it first. It tastes very good."
Lu Zhi stared at him suspiciously.
What was served was a fat glass with layers of dreamy pink and blue.
It looks like a decoration no matter how you look at it.
She moved closer curiously and sniffed.
The smile in Fu Linzhou's eyes became even wider.
Lu Zhi smelled a very light milky aroma, mixed with the refreshing scent of some sea salt and fruit.
She picked it up, took a sip out of curiosity, and her eyes lit up instantly: "It tastes good!"
She turned to look at Fu Linzhou: "What is this?"
Fu Linzhou looked at the thin mustache on her upper lip and couldn't help laughing: "It's a special blend of milk."
He had lived with her for so long that he could naturally guess that she would like it.
Lu Zhi's eyes sparkled as he took another bite and squinted his eyes in satisfaction, like a cute little kitten that was fed freeze-dried food, purring contentedly beside his hand.
He felt itchy at the heartstrings and wanted to reach out and touch her, but his eyes fell on the little beret she was wearing, and he withdrew his hand regretfully.
Lu Zhi drank something and felt more relaxed. "When does the auction start?"
Fu Linzhou: "It will start soon."
Sure enough, after the emcee finished speaking, the lights in the venue dimmed.
There was only a spotlight on the stage.
There is a button for a light on the right side of each seat.
When bidding on an item, you only need to press the light button, which is considered a follow-up shot.
The first lot was placed on the stage.
Lu Zhi almost thought he had misheard.
The item being auctioned turned out to be a bottle of spiritual dew, the kind that said drinking it could gain first-level spiritual energy.
Did she travel through time from a modern domineering CEO novel to a modern fantasy world of cultivating immortals?
Lu Zhi asked curiously, "Where did this come from?"
Fu Linzhou's dark gaze fixed on the small mustache on her lips, and he patiently explained, "Things that practitioners took out for resource exchange."
"Resource exchange?" Lu Zhi was puzzled.
Fu Linzhou patiently explained to her about the life in the higher dimensions of this world.
Lu Zhi knew that there were surreal things in this world, but he had never seen it so directly.
The spiritual dew that was auctioned.
The secret cultivation techniques that were auctioned off.
There are even various spiritual lands and spiritual animals that are auctioned as resources.
It turns out that in the world she knows, ordinary people who occupy the top of the wealth are just the lowest existence in the world of cultivators.
After the auction ended, Lu Zhi followed Fu Linzhou out of the venue.
Two people not far away stared at Lu Zhi's profile and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Look at that girl, does she look like our mother?"
"It's kind of like... a coincidence, right?"
"How about I go up and ask?"
"Don't act rashly. Didn't you see who was next to her?"
"All right……"

Lu Zhi came out of the venue and took out his cell phone, but still hadn't received any message from Gu Qiancheng.
Are you really that busy?
Lu Zhi's happy mood, which had finally gotten better, fell again.
She pursed her lips and followed Fu Linzhou somewhat sullenly, completely unaware that he had brought her to an unfamiliar street.
"Look up." The person next to you suddenly spoke.
Lu Zhi looked up subconsciously.
With a "bang", the fireworks exploded, lighting up the entire night sky.
"Wow!" Lu Zhi's eyes lit up: "So beautiful! This is the first time I've seen blue and purple fireworks."
Fu Linzhou smiled and said, "There happens to be a fireworks festival here tonight."
Lu Zhi turned to look at him: "Fu Linzhou, thank you."
She was in a bad mood that night, and he must have noticed.
I brought her here specially.
Fu Linzhou said gently: "As long as you like it."
The two stood by the railing by the river, looking up at the fireworks.
Lu Zhi sighed, and the moment he lowered his head, he glanced at the other side of the river and saw a familiar figure.
At that moment, she felt her heart sink to the bottom.
Gu Qiancheng and a beautiful exotic blonde girl were holding hands and leaning intimately against the railing.
The fireworks faded, the light dimmed, and the faces of the people on the other side were hidden in the darkness.
Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously leaned over the railing to see more clearly.
The next firework exploded, but the familiar face was gone on the other side.
Lu Zhi looked across blankly.
Was she dazzled?
