My Goddess is Good at Pretending



47 S Rank Alchemist

"Look, isn't that the nine-tailed demon fox?" 

"This is my first time seeing them. They are so stunning and mesmerizing. No wonder they can be called the legendary creature."

"One is like the darkness of midnight, and the other is as pure as snow. They are like the harmony of yin yang."

"Their beauty can topple several Empires and lead the new war. Oh no! Those powerhouses will definitely make their move once they catch wind of this. It will become a bloody war soon!"

"You fool, have you forgotten that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous they are? Did you think those nine-tailed foxes appeared in the outside world for no reason?"

"Uh, that makes sense. They definitely possess unfathomable prowess too."

"Anyway, we need to be careful. A great event might soon happen in this forest city because of their arrival. Legendary ones often attract each other, and the other legendary beasts or demons might appear as well."

"Less caught in the fire. The ancient secret realm may also attract their attention. Obviously, there are items in the auction that catch their eyes!"

Various conversations from the beastfolk and demonfolk began to spread, but it was just as Ely had expected. She then gave some silver coins to the coachman.

"Thank you, esteemed ladies. Have a lovely visit. Then, if you'll excuse me." The coachman immediately pulled the reins, and his giant centipede left the vicinity.

If he could voice it out, he was terrified because his passengers were two legendary nine-tailed foxes. They spelled trouble and disaster because of their beauty, but he didn't dare to offend them.

Ely's group of three entered the auction house. Oddly enough, no one dared to stop them. Thus, their trip to the distinctive deal chamber was smooth sailing.

The auction house's manager even came to greet them. Ely didn't even have to talk or wait. So, everything was still easy to progress without impediment.

'Playing high-profile is fun. I don't understand those who always try to lay low but invite trouble from right to left. Since problems cannot be avoided, playing big is always the solution!' Ely sat on the sofa, waiting for the merchant-looking bear man to sit.

"Welcome to the Grande Auction House, esteemed guests. My name is Griz Kwiecinski. Having the legendary demon foxes visit my auction house is an incredible honor, but I'm curious about the situation. May I inquire about it?" Griz rubbed his hands with a crafty smile on his face.

He had thought the two nine-tailed foxes wanted to get tickets to enter the exclusive auction in two days, but his guess was wrong when the shadow fox placed a storage pouch on the table.

"Pleased to meet you, Mister Griz Kwiecinski. My name is Kitsune. Let's talk about the deal and business. We didn't come to get an entry ticket as the bidder, but the seller. We want to leave some interesting items to be auctioned in the first exclusive week auction." Ely tapped her finger on the table for attention.

"You want to auction off some items? Then, let me inspect them first." Griz was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded in understanding.

Profitable business deals were always welcome, but not all precious items were eligible for auction in the exclusive week. After all, the bidders and audience who attended the event were prominent figures from various regions.

In the Northern Realm, only three auction houses gained the trust of many people to hold this exclusive event. So, everyone was eager to secure some life-saving treasures before going to the ancient secret realm in three weeks.

"This!" Griz was surprised to find thirty marvelous life-saving treasures inside that storage pouch. Elixirs, potions, herbs, precious materials, magical items, and artifacts...

They ranged from mid-tier to top-tier, but the most precious things were two Super-tier potions! The explanation said it could heal any wound, curse, recover spiritual energy, and more! These Super-tier healing potions were heaven-sent treasures!

"Each item has an explanation inscribed on them. You can test it, but we don't want to lose money." Ely tapped the table again for attention.

Griz gulped his saliva. These nine-tailed foxes had his curiosity, but they now gained his full attention. "This... Is it possible for you to sell some life-saving items directly to our auction house? We will offer you a sky-high price that will satisfy you."

Ely was silent for a moment. This Grande Auction House was supported and protected under the banner of an 8th Rank ferocious beast, the overlord of the surrounding mountains, and some mysterious experts.

Since those old monsters would also be present at this auction, why did she need to sell the items directly to the auction house? It was completely unnecessary because the main goal was not money.

"Fufu, that depends on how you perform as the auctioneer. Isn't it lovely to see them in the bidding war? Please update your auction item list and announce the new items." Ely unfolded her purplish- blue folding fan to cover her mouth.

"Well then..." Griz was fully aware. More prominent audiences would be eager to participate after the updated list was released and announced.

However, the bidding war would become very intense in due course. After all, the highest items initially would be auctioned were only three A Rank, top-tier life-saving treasures. However, it would become two S Rank, Super-tier life-saving potions!

"Is it possible that you concocted these Super-tier potions, Lady Kitsune?" A weird idea suddenly came to Griz's mind.

*Fwoop!*

The calm atmosphere suddenly became stifling. Griz's 5th-rank cultivation base was suppressed beyond measure by Yuuki's 10th- rank pressure.

"!!!" Griz froze in his seat, unable to move or breathe. It was also hard for him to think clearly because he felt frozen in his soul. Fear crept up from deep within his soul and reminded him of one thing: the ones before him were the legendary nine-tailed foxes.

Demon foxes, spirit foxes, fox demi-human, and their kin were long known for their beauty and body constitution craved by many. Whether male or female, they had been hunted by many powerhouses since ancient times to become concubines, slaves, or just furnaces to improve one's cultivation.

The fox-kin fled to an uninhabited secret realm and sealed it for eternity for safety reasons hundreds of years ago. Because of that, the fox-kin had long been considered extinct from the mortal world, leaving only a few low breeds with inferior bloodlines.

However, a powerful nine-tailed fox appeared five years ago and shook the cultivation world with her unfathomable prowess. That was the beginning of the nine-tailed fox becoming one of the legendary creatures.

Then, the ones before him...

Griz could finally connect the dots, but he had almost passed out.

"Don't you dare have any weird ideas. My little sister proposed a win-win deal. You only need to agree. No need for unnecessary questions." Yuuki spoke in a cold tone. Her cold aura spread through the room subconsciously.

"Elder sister, calm yourself down. He is a merchant, and it is only natural to have a business mind." Ely extended her hand in front of Yuuki.

She then bowed slightly after Griz was released from Yuuki's pressure. "My apologies for my elder sister's impulse, Mister Griz Kwiecinski.n0veIfullb00k top update place The answer to your question, yes, I am a pristine alchemist from the Sacred Sakura Holy Land. All items that I want you to auction are my products."

"Cough, cough! Yes, thanks for enlightening me, Lady Kitsune. Since you can concoct Super-tier potions, is it safe for us to refer to you as the S Rank alchemist?" Griz rubbed his neck with a pale face.

He had some complaints, but he didn't dare to voice them. However, these nine-tailed foxes were from a holy land!?

"Yes, that's good." Ely nodded in agreement. It was her intention, and everything was still going according to her expectations.

Griz then discussed a bit with the S Rank alchemist regarding the auction that would be held in two days. He then applied for a blue diamond card in Lady Kitsune's name.

He also gave an entrance ticket for the exclusive auction event, but Ely refused because it was VIP room number one. She asked for another VIP room to spark less hassle.

"You can use the card to enter the auction event anytime at any branch of the Grande Auction House. This is a VIP room ticket." Griz put a golden ticket with a crown symbol and the number eleven. "It's a pleasure to do business with you. We will collect the money after the event is over. This will definitely be more lively and fun~" Ely chuckled elegantly.

She then bid her farewell to the auction house's manager.

"10th Rank expert and S Rank alchemist. I need to urgently investigate the Sacred Sakura Holy Land. But this is the first time I've heard of that name. Preferably, I also need to contact my lord immediately. Two nine-tailed vixens. The world could go awry because of them, gulp..." Griz knew the entire city would be shaken by the two nine-tailed foxes' presence.

He still couldn't figure out their real intentions, but he had the wild guess they were doing things just for amusement. The auction event could become out of hand anytime, so he contacted many allies for help.
