154 Barrels of Vinegar 2 (2/2)

Xia Lian shook her head and she then spoke Xia Ming ” Little Ming, if you find something interesting then tell me. This big brother will buy it for you.”

For some unknown reason, Xuan Li Wei was particularly jealous of the little kid. His wife had only the little one in her eyes. It's like her whole world is now revolving around the kid.

Paintings from the Snow lands, the place also known as homeland of great artists; pearls from the pearl isles and carpets from the Barbarian lands which are beautifully woven with intricate designs, Xia Lian found them fascinating.

She was an admirer of art and she loved to collect paintings. But, now she neither had home nor a place where she could hang them. Also, she didn't have enough money to spend on paintings.

She sighed faintly in her heart and then started to munch on the grapes as she found the auction boring, now they were starting to auction weapons which completely bored her. She had a dagger, a sword and a whip which she never used. She was in no need of any additional weapons and she found no weapons suitable for her little bunny. Naturally, she did not feel like watching.

After, a few moments she felt a tug on her sleeves and she lowered her head to look at Xia Ming. His plump little hand was pulling at her hand and his eyes were shining so bright that all the jewels in the world would pale in comparison.

Xia Lian was fascinated by the pure and innocent look on his face. She really didn't want him to grow up.

”Big Brother, I want that.” he pointed his plump finger in a certain direction as Xia Lian looked over. She found a group of animals in cages which are placed on the platform.

She found lions, peacocks, tigers…

” What exactly do you want?” Out of the many animals, she wondered what exactly caught this kid's eye.

” Those pair of white cubs.”

Xia Lian scanned over the entire area but she did not find such white cubs. She beckoned Xuan Li Wei and even he ended up failing as he did not spot any white cubs. Both of them were clearly confused now. What did this kid end up seeing and why were they not able to find it?

” Ming, show me where they are?”

Sensing his sister's helplessness, he clearly pointed out ” Big Brother, look behind the cages where the lions are kept.”

Xia Lian squinted her eyes and sure enough she found two white cubs which are huddled up in a corner. She abruptly turned around only to find Xuan Li Wei staring at Xia Ming with an indecipherable expression on his face. The words which she was about to speak were stuck in her throat and a feeling of uneasiness bubbled up in her chest.
