"Second Sister!" Dong Dong'er said casually.

"Father... Sister."

Dongyue almost let it slip. Her big eyes blinked as she looked around nervously, as if afraid that others wouldn't see her panic.

Fortunately, Yao Ye didn't care about this person who was even younger than his younger sister Yao Yue, and kept his eyes fixed on the two women, Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er.

A woman's intuition.

Yao Ye felt that Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er's feelings for Dong Qing were definitely not as simple as those of family.

"Eldest sister? Second sister?"

Yao Ye looked at Dong Qing with a strange expression. She had never heard that Dong Qing had an older sister. She only knew that his past was very mysterious and no one knew where Dong Qing came from.

I guess so!

Dongqing was speechless. His two unfilial daughters were just out having fun, yet they took advantage of their old father. They really didn't respect him as their father.

"What do you mean by 'sort of'? It's either yes or no!"

Yao Ye was clearly dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer. If the occasion weren't inappropriate, she would have grabbed Dong Qing by the ear and asked him where these two vixens had come from.

Including yourself, Mittel-Yafei of the Mittel family, Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and Medusa Queen of the Snake-People Clan, aren't the four of them enough for you, a single man, to enjoy?

"Yes!" Dongqing replied reluctantly.

He naturally didn't want to acknowledge Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er's identities, as it would be too much of a bargain for him, but he had no choice. He couldn't very well say that they were both his biological daughters, could he?

"Little brother, is this also...your woman?"

Dong Baobao looked at Dong Qing with disdain in her eyes, practically calling him a scumbag.

"The quality is just so-so," Dong Dong'er commented rationally.

She knew it was probably Dongqing's collecting obsession.

"Father...Brother..."

As Dongyue spoke, she seemed to remember something, and her face instantly turned rosy, like a ripe apple.

But none of the three people present—Yao Ye, Dong Baobao, and Dong Dong'er—cared about the fantasies of a little girl.

"You two, stop talking nonsense!"

Dong Qing glared at Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er respectively. He felt that the two of them were increasingly disregarding him as their father, and they were almost making him feel like he was being too filial to them.

A fake identity is a fake identity. You two are still pretending. Do you really think you're my sisters?

Unfortunately.

This couldn't be said outright, so Dongqing could only stare blankly.

........

Honestly.

It's pointless, very pointless. Dong Qing doesn't understand why Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er have so much to say to Yao Ye, the princess of the empire.

But as he held Dongyue to the side, he genuinely felt it was pointless; they could repeat the same phrase or meaning over and over again.

E.g.

How many colors of nail polish are there?

answer.

Rose red, bright red, flesh color, bean paste color, silver, white, black, green, blue, gold... seventy-two random colors.

Less yellow, more red, turning into deep orange.

Less red and more yellow turns into light yellow.

Red plus yellow plus blue equals gray.

Black plus white turns into light gray... and so on, all sorts of random color studies.

Although Dongyue listened with great interest while nestled in Dongqing's arms.

But Dongqing himself had already fallen asleep.

After Dongqing fell asleep holding Dongyue, Yaoye, who had been chatting with Dongbao and Dongdong'er about makeup, suddenly asked, "Are you really Dongqing's sisters?"

Regarding this issue...

Dong Dong'er was the first to answer. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Theoretically, we're even closer than biological sisters! As for the specifics, you'll have to guess for yourself, but whether you guess right or wrong, we won't admit it."

Dong Baobao was the second to answer, and he sighed and said, "To be honest, sometimes I really envy you guys. At least there isn't an insurmountable barrier between you and him."

Speak only halfway, and leave the rest for the reader to guess.

This was not difficult for Yao Ye, who came from an imperial family.

"I think I understand now."

Yao Ye's gaze swept across Dong Qing's face, then looked at Dong Yue, who was staring at her with wide eyes and curiosity. She roughly understood the relationship between Dong Qing, Dong Baobao, Dong Dong'er, and Dong Yue.

But some things are understood without needing to be said. Yao Ye changed the subject, saying, "You've come at just the right time. The Mittel Auction House is going to hold an auction later. Would you two like to go and take a look?"

She understood.

People like Dong Dong'er and Dong Baobao, whose temperament clearly indicates they are either rich or noble, would definitely look down on auctions. They are probably just traveling with Dong Qing to relax.

But as the saying goes, you need a place to relax. Finding a crowded place is undoubtedly the best way to relax, and she felt that Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er would most likely not refuse.

"Let's go take a look together!" Dong Baobao said nonchalantly.

"I'll go with Yue'er to take a look," Dong Dong'er offered as a shield.

"An auction?" Dongyue nestled in Dongqing's arms, biting her finger.

Although she had recently soared through the stars with Dongqing, witnessing countless cosmic wonders and encountering a wondrous silicon-based civilization—a civilization called the Squirrel Civilization, which was actually a civilization of stone people—it did not diminish her anticipation for the auction house.

Life has many important events.

Life has its little things.

Having seen the heavens and the earth, the universe and the starry sky.

Actually, it's not bad to calm down and take a look at the mundane world.

"Can I not go? I want to go drink with someone!"

Dong Qing woke up at an inopportune moment, but none of the women present respected his opinion; they were all busy discussing what interesting trinkets to buy at the auction.

"We're not interested in cultivation techniques, combat skills, or elixirs. Do you have any nice-looking accessories?"

"Yes, after all, there are many high-ranking officials and noblewomen in the capital who like exquisite jewelry."

Do you use gold coins here?

"Yes, but isn't the purity of your gold soul coins a bit too high?"

"After that young lady Niu took control of the World Bank, she refined the purity of the Gold Soul Coins, making them a bit purer than the gold coins here."

"The World Bank? I don't recall there being such an organization on the mainland!"

"Don't worry about such details, we're not from the same world."

"Don't ask, you'll understand someday, now is not the time."

After Dong Dong'er and Dong Baobao brushed off the question, they enthusiastically discussed the auction with Yao Ye, even though the items at the auction were useless to them.

This is not surprising.

Women are best at spending money on meaningless things and buying things that have no real purpose.

Princess Yaoye of the Jiama Empire is like this, and Dong Dong'er and Dong Baobao, who are even more noble in reality, also have such noble demeanors.

They don't care about buying things.

It's not about who you're shopping with, but who you're with.

This is just like eating.

Eating alone, although it's still eating and filling your stomach, the process and feeling are definitely completely different from eating with friends, family, or loved ones.

...........

One hour later.

In the capital city of the Jiama Empire, at the Mittel Auction House.

The crowd was overwhelming; as far as the eye could see, there was only a dense, dark mass of people.

The main entrances and exits of the auction house were packed with people, one after another.

But in another passageway behind the auction house, the scene is almost entirely different from the main passageway.

A red carpet was laid on the floor of the spacious passageway, and dozens of men in black stood there with indifferent expressions.

obviously.

This is the VIP entrance; only the wealthy and powerful can enter.

Before long, Dongqing was carried inside by two people, one on each side and one in front.

In front of them was Yao Ye, to their left was Dong Baobao, to their right was Dong Dong'er, and behind them was Yao Yue, who had somehow found her. Dong Qing was holding Dong Yue, and the four of them surrounded them.

"Why won't you look for your older sister? Do you think I'm not old enough?"

Yao Yue kept muttering to herself the whole way. Following behind Dong Qing, she felt extremely wronged, her little mouth pouting very high, as if she wanted to jump up and kick Dong Qing.

Her muttering wasn't quiet.

In fact, Dong Qing heard everything.

just.

Dongqing couldn't possibly have any strange thoughts about a woman who wasn't an adult and under eighteen; her rambling was just that—rambling.

"The auction houses in the capital seem much bigger than those in Wutan City. Why don't we just let Ya Fei come back to the capital?" Dong Qing pondered.

His thinking was very simple.

The Mittel family, along with the Nalan family and the Mu family, are known as the three giants of Gama. They have a presence in both the business and military circles of the Gama Empire, and their family power is considerable.

Meanwhile, the Mittel family's auction houses have spread throughout the entire Gama Empire, and even border cities like Utan City have a presence of Mittel auction houses.
