Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Heal

And just as she had suspected the lady started screaming the next second,

"Help! Help me! Help me please!"

Gu Jin looked at the lady with a wicked smile and said,

"Please continue and let the audience in, even I want to see how they will react when they see a woman in her 40s getting raped by a girl."

The lady who was thinking that Gu Jin would be panicking was stunned and couldn’t believe her ears.

"You...Are you not a man?"

Gu Jin smiled even more broadly and said,

"Oh I was a few years ago, but then I started to like men more after realizing how treacherous women are.

So I had an operation in that area...you know."

"Impossible!" The lady was so stunned that she wasn’t able to talk at all.

Gu Jin shrugged,

"If you don’t believe why don’t you touch it?"

The lady froze and finally, after some time she said,

"You are lying! You are only bluffing!"

Gu Jin shook her head and walked towards the lady,

"If you don’t believe you could touch somewhere else too. That area wasn’t the only place I got surgery, you know..."

The lady was so scared that she backed down and shouted,

"Stop! Stop! I am leaving! Sinned people have such dirty thoughts toward their gender, don’t you feel ashamed for liking someone from their own gender?... Ah!" The lady who had just turned to run away and was spouting nonsense yelped in pain.

Looking at her right hand which was crushed by an emerald color vine tainted by the red blood of her own, couldn’t contain herself and almost fainted.

Gu Jin stared at the lady coldly,

"Don’t you dare say such things?"

The lady was so scared that no words came out of her mouth.

Gu Jin placed the dagger in her pocket and started walking out when suddenly she heard the lady speak,

"I...I didn’t lie! People like you...are filthy."

Gu Jin stopped and a scene flashed past her mind,

"Jin they will not understand...they called me sinned, they said that I am....I am a filthy person...My parents...My colleagues....even my friends and neighbors think I am weird and filthy...and the person whom I fought for...even he betrayed me...I don’t think I can survive anymore...I can’t live anymore...I am sorry...I can’t accompany you anymore..."

"No..." Gu Jin heard her own voice and her body trembled.

She bit her lips to control her emotion and when she turned toward the lady her eyes were totally devoid of any emotion.

"Oh? You are right people like me are indeed filthy...people who have cold souls and cruel hearts, but not those who are taught from birth that loving the same gender people is taboo, yet they love the same gender people.

Do you know why? Because they know that the world is not entirely correct. And they know that the actual filth is the bullsh*t that love is only meant between two opposite genders.

In this world, every human has a different opinion, and we can’t force our thoughts on others. Only illiterate people can’t accept this fact.

Listen, lady, just because you are illiterate doesn’t mean you have to show it."

The lady was so choked that no words came out of her mouth.

Gu Jin regretted her decision to use something so deep as an excuse to cover herself.

She only wanted to avoid trouble but ended up hearing something so unpleasant.

How dare that lady speak such bullsh*t.

Gu Jin rubbed her chest area to soothe the dull ache and took a deep breath to forget the unpleasant memory.

As she sat down, she heard the auctioneer say,

"Next up we have the fire mystic seed named Heal. This mystic seed is much calmer and defensive type than offensive type."

The moment the box in which the mystic seed was placed was pushed onto the stage, Gu Jin’s heart started pounding with anxiety.

When the cloth that was covering the mystic seed was lifted, Gu Jin’s breath hitched.

(Author: Is it my ML? Otherwise, why is she so excited?)

A translucent crystal-like object resembling a seed, with a vibrant flame burning within it.

The flame emits a warm, orange glow, surrounded by wisps of light. The seed appears to be radiating an aura of energy, evoking a sense of mystical power.

Gu Jin couldn’t take her eyes away.

And only when the auctioneer announced the starting bid, did she come out of her trance,

"The starting fire is 13 million."

"20 million!"

"22 million!"

"27 million!"

Gu Jin’s pounding heart suddenly calmed down.

Such a high price for a mystic seed?

What was its functionality anyway? Since Gu Jin was lost in her thoughts she didn’t hear the introduction properly and hence she didn’t understand why even though the fire seed was a defensive type, so many people wanted it.

"30 million!" A blond boy with green eyes said.

Honestly, he had a very handsome face, but Gu Jin subconsciously remembered a certain handsome young man she had seen the other day.

"30 million twice."

Gu Jin came out of her thoughts when she heard the announcement and raised her card,

"31 million."

Everyone turned around and saw Gu Jin as if she was some idiot.

Gu Jin ignored them and looked at the auctioneer who was looking at her with surprise.

Only when Gu Jin titled her head did the auctioneer come out of his surprise and say,

"Does anyone want to continue to bid?"

"31 million once, 31 million twice... Sold to the mysterious bidder for 31 million!" the auctioneer declared, his voice echoing through the room.

No one clapped which made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

However, Gu Jin didn’t feel pressured at all and stood elegantly and started walking toward the backstage.

Once she was finished with her payment, she didn’t waste any time and directly ran away.

Why?

Because she knew what outcome was waiting for her.

As she had expected, a whoosh sound came and Gu Jin felt her world turning upside down.

"Say assh*le, how dare you bid for something that master had eyes on?"

Gu Jin cursed in her heart.

Of course, she expected the blond man to attack her.

Who she was kidding? What does an auction house doesn’t lack?

Rich and stubborn people.

Even if she was able to dodge a bullet one time doesn’t mean she could dodge it again and again.

Gu Jin tried to cast her spell but realized that she wasn’t able to move at all.

"Little rat do you think, you can escape? From us? Do you know that we are Advance Mage? A primary mage against three advanced mages? Hahaha!"

Gu Jin stopped struggling.

She was currently held in a very awkward position.

Her right ankle was held by a hand and her left leg was hanging down which created a pain in her hamstring.

Due to the distance between her head and the ground, Gu Jin realized that the person holding her was taller than her.

Gu Jin was talking but in front of this 6 foot 6 inches giant...she was looking like a small toy.

However her mouth...

"Thank god I am not an advanced rank mage, god knows how disappointed I will be after knowing that I can’t even defeat people on my own even after reaching the advanced rank."

The laughter suddenly died down.

Gu Jin knew what was coming and quickly cast a spell,

"Firey Blast."

A burst of fiery energy erupted from Gu Jin’s outstretched hand, aimed directly at her captors.

The intense heat and force of the blast caught them off guard, causing them to release their grip on Gu Jin as they stumbled back in surprise and pain.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Jin swiftly regained her footing and dashed away.

Her attacker chased her and two even casted spells.

Gu Jin tried to dodge the attack but the spell was so powerful that her body crashed into one of the walls and she felt her body’s bones getting crushed.

But what surprised her attackers was Gu Jin didn’t even make a single voice.

Gu Jin’s entire body was aching, but she gritted her teeth and finally said,

"Plant Spike."

A few giant spikes appeared from the ground, but her attackers who were 3 in number easily dodged them.

"Hahaha! I thought he would pull some major stunt but see....Hahaha! What did he use? Such a punny attack!" One of the attackers who had a long beard and light skin tone said.

"Maybe he wants to live for a few moments." A man with sleek eyes said.

"Guys, we should focus on the work young master asked us to do, remember?" A well dressed weak man said.

Gu Jin sensed the danger.

Even though the other two men had a large build, they lacked what he had. Intelligence.
