The auction for the charity dinner continues.

Chen Lun withdrew his thoughts and temporarily put them in his heart. He planned to tell the circus his decision after returning to the winery.

At this time.

On the auction stage, the host said in a passionate tone:

"The next lot comes from the Harrington family, one of our charity dinner hosts, Miss Tracy's collection of cosmetics - 'Azt' custom lipstick!"

He waved his hand, and two ladies in red uniforms came onto the stage holding a high-end wooden gift box and a lipstick decorated with broken gemstones and made of gold.

"'Azt' is the most famous top brand in Wangcheng, and the high society ladies and ladies are crazy about it, even the Duchess of the Sun Royal Family once praised it... This custom-made lipstick was made by Miss Tracy last year, It was a birthday present when I was eighteen, it has never been opened, and it has been treasured up to now, and its value is extremely high.”

The host held a microphone and explained to everyone.

"The starting price is 560 gold pounds, and each increase must not be less than 10 gold pounds!"

"570 gold pounds!"

"580 gold pounds!"

"Six hundred gold pounds!"

As the auction started, many gentlemen off the stage began to raise their hands to bid, most of them were signaled by the eyes of their wives or daughters, and most of them were to win Miss Tracy's favor.

Chen Lun glanced at Floyd next to her, and saw that she was facing the one-way French windows, with a dazed expression on her face, so she couldn't help smiling.

He picked up the square box microphone beside the sofa, pressed the button, and said softly:

"1,000 gold pounds."

The auction stage below fell into a sudden silence.

Many VIPs looked up to the second floor. They didn't know who the bidders were, but most of the people who could sit in the boxes were big figures with higher status.

They stopped the price increase, not because they thought it was too expensive, but because they didn't want to cause the displeasure of the big shots because of a lipstick. Only Tracy and Hoyle, sitting in the front seat, knew who the bidder had just been.

Miss Tracy's expression was a bit complicated. She glanced at the opaque black glass window on the second floor, and sighed secretly...

"Mr. Jack, it's for his female companion... that blind lady named Floyd."

The host came back to his senses and cleverly rounded up the situation.

"The distinguished guests in the second box directly bid 1,000 gold pounds! Wow! It seems that Miss Tracy is very popular!"

Many gentlemen and ladies present cast meaningful glances at Tracy, but Tracy himself just squeezed out a smile, and the bitter taste gradually spread in his heart.

Soon, the host hammered the hammer.

Tracy came to the second floor with two maids in red uniforms, and knocked on the door of Chen Lun's room.

"Mr. Jack, thank you for your support for this dinner. On behalf of the residents of Peacock City, I would like to thank you."

Tracy smiled reluctantly and handed over the lipstick with her own hand.

After Chen Lun took it, he noticed that the other party was in a low mood, but he didn't make a sound to comfort him, but replied politely:

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Tracy felt that her heart was extremely sad, but she still held on to her skirt and saluted, and then led the people away.

until the door closes again.

Floy's ethereal voice came:

"She seems to like you very much."

"Maybe it's just your illusion."

Chen Lun responded and looked at Floyd with a smile.

Floy shook her head and said with certainty:

"I can feel her low mood, it's a kind of disappointment and pain that I can't ask for."

Chen Lun played with the exquisite lipstick worth an entire winery in his hand, and said slowly:

"I've always only regarded Miss Terrier as a friend. She may have misunderstood me...Floye, my heart is too small, I can only accommodate one person."

Floyd "stared" at him blankly, the blush on her cheeks gradually revealed.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Chen Lun couldn't help feeling secretly.

He handed over the lipstick, smiled lightly and said:

"I just saw that you seem to be very interested in it, and I will give it to you."

Floy pursed her lips, and said with some hesitation:

"1000 gold pounds, you don't need to spend so much money for me... Besides, I have never used this kind of thing."

"No, I don't even think it's good enough for you, Floyd."

Seeing this, Chen Lun twisted off the lipstick and brought it to Floy's lips.

"If you haven't used it, try it. At the beginning of the empire, this kind of thing was even considered by the world to be the power that women borrowed from the devil... an evil power used to seduce men, because few men could resist it at that time Charm."

The bright red ointment column lightly touched Floyd's moist lips, and was slowly applied under Chen Lun's fine and steady pressure.

During this process, Chen Lun also softly explained to Floyd:

"In the more distant era, the technology at the bottom of the empire was still very backward. At that time, lipsticks used spermaceti, white jade powder, red ochre, and even crocodile dung and lead, which were harmful to the human body... But the determination of human beings to pursue beauty will make the These side effects were ignored."

Floy's expression became more gentle, and she felt her heartbeat gradually speeding up. Listening to the deep voice that was so close at hand, feeling the familiar and reassuring breath, the whole person seemed to be flying high in the sky, flying towards her final destination, the moon.

She seemed to see a ray of light in the endless darkness, warm and hot.

That was the light she was chasing and protecting, the light emitted by Master Jack.

It is also called the unchanging light until death.

After a while.

"do I look good?"

Floy sat on the sofa, pursed her lips lightly, and asked aloud.

half an hour.

The voice sounded again, even with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Of course...no one looks better than you."

Instead, it became even more depressed.

"I also finally understand why people say it is an evil force, Floy."

next moment.

Floyd felt a layer of warmth on her lips.

The familiar breath is getting closer.

The ray of light shone in the darkness and hit her face. It was not glaring, but gentle, kind, and comfortable.

At this moment, Floyd seemed to have forgotten everything, only the heartbeat in his ears was left, which gradually overlapped with his own, forming a tacit resonance song.

I don't know how long it has passed.

Floy came to her senses, and she found that she was leaning against a warm embrace, and Master Jack's chuckle came from above her head:

"Sorry, Floyd, I was bewitched by your evil power."

Floyd chuckled.

She didn't speak, but silently put the bracelet on the back of the man in front of her, and hugged her tightly.

The two of them stopped talking, as if they had tacitly agreed not to spoil the atmosphere at the moment.

After a while.

Floy sat up from Chen Lun's arms, raised her head, blushed and said softly:

"Master Jack, thank you."

Chen Lun looked down at the girl and was amazed again. Long light golden hair coiled up, a few strands in a mess, fell from one side of the ear, flushed on the fair and delicate face, under the tall little nose, was the bright red lips... just a smear of red ointment Crossing the border from the corner of his mouth, while being so beautiful, it adds a touch of humor.

It was his masterpiece.

Not uneven application, but...

"What's wrong?"

Floy noticed something, and asked suspiciously.

Chen Lun used his thumb to wipe away the excess redness around her lips, then wiped the color on his own lips, and said with a light smile:

"It's nothing, I just think that although the scent of roses is good, it's not as good as the breath on your body."

Floy knew he was talking about the smell of lipstick.

She felt that the joy in her heart was stronger than the sum of all the previous days.

In the subsequent auction, Chen Lun did not make too many bids, but at the end of the auction, he took a fancy to a small retro wooden old bookcase, and spent 300 gold pounds to acquire it.

When Hoyle led two male waiters to bring the bookcase up, Chen Lun discovered that there were more than a dozen old books attached to it. He flipped through it casually, but was surprised to receive a prompt box on the panel, one of which turned out to be a mysterious book.

'From the general content, it can be inferred that this is a book that contains extraordinary knowledge of the deep sea faction. If nothing else, it is about [Sequence 8 - Navigator]. '

Chen Lun was quite satisfied with this surprise.

Perhaps the original owner who sold this bookcase didn't know the value of this mysterious book, so he managed to pick it up once. Not much to make, but enough to be enjoyable.

And it happened to be the deep sea faction that was missing from all the Sequence 8 extraordinary knowledge that Chen Lun had collected.

‘Currently, we still lack the sun, the deep sea, the earth, and magic, so we can get together the Sequence 8 extraordinary knowledge of ten pathways. With this mysterious book, there are still three pathways left. '

he thought.

After the auction, the charity dinner was still going on, the purpose was to set aside a period of "communication time" for the guests present, so that this group of gentlemen and ladies could exchange their experience on the collection. Of course, this is just a polite rhetoric.

In fact, it is to get acquainted with each other and increase the chances of contact and cooperation between each other.

Chen Lun was not interested in this, and after taking back the little white snake in the private room next door, he took Floy away and left early.

After getting out of the box and going downstairs, he saw Hoyle and Tracy chatting and laughing with several gentlemen and ladies in the hall, so he didn't go to bother him, he found a few male waiters at random, and gave two silver medals For a tip, let them move the bookcase they photographed outside to the carriage.

When Chen Lun and Floyd were about to board the carriage, a tall and thin middle-aged man in an orthodox suit came to Chen Lun, took off his hat very politely, and stretched out his hand.

"I'm meeting you for the first time, Mr. Jack Speight, the leader of the asylum, Amos, can I take up a little of your precious time?"

The man smiled, and his tone was very sincere.

Chen Lun patted the back of Floyd's hand twice, the latter smiled, let go of his arm tacitly, and got into the carriage by himself.

Afterwards, Chen Lun followed Amos and slowly walked aside.

"Would you like one?"

Amos took out a pack of cheap cigarettes and asked.

Chen Lun smiled politely and waved his hand to decline.

"Sorry, I smoked these cheap cigarettes when I was young and got used to it."

Amos thought that Chen Lun disliked the low-grade cigarettes, so he lit one for himself and explained with a chuckle.

But Chen Lun shook his head.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Amos, I just don't smoke."

"I see."

Amos showed a comprehension expression.

The two walked all the way to the bottom of a remote tree in the distance, and neither side actively made a sound during the process.

It wasn't until Amos finished smoking a cigarette that he said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Jack Speight, Miss Mona recommended you to join the Imperial Jury, do you know about this?"

Chen Lun couldn't help being shocked, but he remained calm on the surface.

After thinking for a moment, he deliberately showed surprise.

"Huh? Sorry, I don't know."

"I won't hide it, Mr. Jack, actually I belong to the same camp as Ms. Mona, the so-called 'conservatives'. Now about your matter, there has been a lot of commotion in the upper echelons of the shelter. ...But the specific result has not yet been settled, it depends on whether you can make some big things that are beneficial to the empire."

Amos' expression became serious.

"Including me, conservative members actually know about your past deeds, and hope that you can join the Imperial Jury...but you are not an internal member after all, so this matter is extremely difficult."

Chen Lun fell into deep thought immediately.
