The Ghost King’s Wife is Sassy and Beautiful

98 Half a Ghoul
Mo Beiyuan did not say anything else and continued to look at the auction stage.

He then bought the next few storage rings that were meant for women.

Yun Ran didn’t speak when he made the bids because she thought he had taken them for other family and friends.

After all, there were many little princesses in the palace.

Unexpectedly, the pile of storage rings was sent to her in the end.

“Are these for me?”

Mo Beiyuan’s gaze swept past and stopped on her face. He raised his eyebrows. “Who else could they be for? Do I wear them myself?”

Yun Ran waved her left hand. “But I already have one.”

Mo Beiyuan frowned, his voice filled with confusion. “Don’t you women like to collect all kinds of storage rings?”

She felt the gazes of the surrounding women. Yun Ran roughly understood that a storage ring in this world might be equivalent to a limited edition luxury bag. It was something many women dreamed of having. It was not just storage.

What Mo Beiyuan had done just now was probably to give her a few limited edition bags. That was why those women looked envious.

Since these things had already been bought, there was no way to return them. Yun Ran could only accept them for the time being.

She thought that when Little Sweetcake grew up, she would pass them to her!

The auction continued.

Next were still some medicinal pills, demon beasts, spirit weapons, and so on.

They were not big treasures, but there were many people bidding.

Finally, it was the last item.

On the temporary platform, a beast cage was pulled up. After the black cloth on the beast cage was pulled away, everyone realized that the cage did not contain a demon beast, but a naked person.

It was a child, between six to seven years of age, judging by the shape. Chained and cowering in a corner of the cage, his dark eyes on his dirty little face were wary.

It reminded Yun Ran of the two little balls that had been locked in the Prime Minister’s woodshed.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, she frowned slightly. “Why are there children being auctioned? Is this allowed in the five countries?” Even in the apocalyptic environment, no one would sell children as goods!

Yun Ran could not get an answer from the Host’s memories, so she asked Mo Beiyuan.

Mo Beiyuan’s eyes darkened, and his tone was cold. “He’s not an ordinary child.”

“What do you mean?” Yun Ran was puzzled. A child was a child. Was there anything ordinary?

“He’s half a ghoul.”

“Half a ghoul?” Yun Ran didn’t ask him this time because she knew what a ghoul was.

Other than the humans, there were two other races in the Five Nations Continent- the ghouls and the wolf ghosts.

Compared to the human race, there were fewer ghouls and wolf ghosts.

The ghouls fed on the blood of humans and beasts. They lived longer than humans and lived in caves in the mountains. They did not see sunlight all year round and liked to hunt humans at night.

As a half-ghoul, the child was the progeny of a human and a ghoul.

This bloodline was deemed the lowliest and most dirty bloodline by the five countries.

It was not accepted by the humans, nor would it be recognized by the ghouls.

In the eyes of humans, ghouls were not humans. When they preyed on humans, they were equivalent to demon beasts in the Demon Beast Forest.

Therefore, this child was auctioned off as an item.
