Chapter 548 — The Same Deluxe Edition

"This is my first time being touched, too." Feng Xiaoxiao's smile turned bashful.
Wei Zhao sighed. Surely she was not about to bring up the question of taking responsibility? The thought left him somewhat embarrassed.
"It's all right, I did it of my own accord..." Feng Xiaoxiao mustered her courage, hoping to use it as a hold over Wei Zhao, but the words would not come; when they reached her lips they turned into this soft, foolish little sentence.
"Huh?" Wei Zhao had not expected Feng Xiaoxiao to say that either, and for a moment he stared at her in disbelief.
"I really am sleepy. I'll sleep for a while first." With that, Feng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and leaned back against the seat, this time no longer leaning on Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao found Feng Xiaoxiao's attitude utterly baffling. Was this still the Feng Xiaoxiao he knew? What on earth was she trying to do? Scene after scene like this left his understanding of her somewhat blurred.
One moment she was inexplicably lifeless, the next her attitude had inexplicably changed beyond recognition — what was the matter with Feng Xiaoxiao?
Seeing that she seemed unwilling to talk with him much, Wei Zhao closed his eyes in resignation as well. He found it very strange that she had let the matter slide so easily; how could he have any mind for sleep?
The auction proceeded step by step, and many lots sold for very high prices. Though Divine Doctor Kang's family bought nothing, they were happy enough just sitting there, for Divine Doctor Kang felt that he was about to become the head of a great clan himself, enjoying the same extraordinary social standing as these people.
Once he had the title of a great clan, his paths would broaden; whether in the purchase of raw materials or in sales, he would break through the present bottleneck and usher the Kang family into a brand-new era.
Today, the members of several great clans were noticeably warmer toward Divine Doctor Kang, and that was precisely why he was so confident. Only the Yu family's attitude was somewhat ambiguous; Yu Haitian merely nodded at him as blandly as ever, without a single extra word.
But Divine Doctor Kang believed the Yu family was simply avoiding suspicion. The Yu family were the organizers of the Great Clan Annual Meeting; if they stood too close to the Kang family, what would others think?
"The third auction really does have fine things!" Kang Guifeng looked enviously at those who had won their bids, taking one rare treasure after another into their possession.
"Heh heh, next year our Kang family will come home loaded too. This year is a year of development; our funds must go where they count!" Divine Doctor Kang was envious as well, but at the thought of the bright future he grew full of confidence.
Watching the last lot fall to a scion of some great clan, Divine Doctor Kang closed the auction catalogue in his hands and was about to rise and leave, but the auctioneer went on: "For this auction, as with yesterday's, we have added a final lot to close the show! This lot is provided by Dr. Guan Medical Company — the Trauma Deluxe Edition!"
"Trauma Deluxe Edition?"
"Does Dr. Guan Medical Company make a deluxe edition of wound medicine too?"
"Theirs is called trauma, not golden wound."
"Isn't the effect the same? Is there really a difference?"
An uproar of discussion rose at once from the floor. The crowd still paid close attention to Dr. Guan Medical Company; at the first auction, the three Life-Extending Detox Pills the company had provided all sold for astronomical prices, so this lot, added at the last minute to the third auction, set everyone talking.
But most people, hearing the name, assumed it must be something much like the Golden Wound Deluxe Edition that Divine Doctor Kang's medical group had auctioned yesterday.
