Chapter 292 - I Don't Have Money, I Admit Defeat
Chapter 292: I Don’t Have Money, I Admit Defeat
Hong Luan put the interspatial ring on her index finger and used that finger to gently ruffle her red curls. Then, she said gently, “Next, we will show everyone our first auction item.”
The ceiling of the Golden Cathedral suddenly opened.
A gorgeous golden cage slowly fell from above. In the golden cage stood a nearly naked beauty.
The beauty had long black hair and her amber eyes were filled with fear and confusion about the world. Her skin was as fair as milk and looked smooth under the light.
This was a person!
They actually auctioned her off!
A photographer pointed the camera at the woman, taking pictures from the top of her head to her toes. So, everyone saw the woman’s details through the big screen.
As a woman, Yu Huang could not help but feel sorry for her when she saw this scene.
Hong Luan stared into the woman’s amber eyes and said gently, “Thirty years ago, this woman fell from the Upper World to the Holy Spirit Continent because she was injured. After appraisal, she was determined to be a divine demon!”
Divine demon!
As soon as the words “divine demon” were spoken, the auction hall was in an uproar. “It’s the divine demon that can make one awaken one’s beast form after eating their flesh and blood!”
In the Divine Feather Continent, almost all the beast tamers on the entire continent were divine demons. But in the Holy Spirit Continent, divine demons were extremely rare and precious divine beings.
Many people had only heard of divine demons and had never seen them before.
“That’s right!”
Hong Luan walked to the side of the golden cage. She gently touched the female divine demon’s face and introduced, “Although we don’t know what this woman’s actual body is, as long as she is a divine demon, we can marry her and produce a child with excellent talent. After she gives birth, we can use her flesh and blood to help the children in the clan awaken their beast form. No matter what, divine demons are extremely rare treasures.”
Unexpectedly, no one raised any objections to such disgraceful words from Hong Luan’s mouth. They looked at the divine demon as if they were looking at a piece of freshly roasted lamb leg that was emitting the aroma of meat.
Sensing the greedy gazes from all directions, the divine demon subconsciously shuddered and opened her mouth to cry and beg for mercy. “Don’t eat me! Don’t eat me! I’m human! I’m human!”
Hong Luan smiled faintly. She tapped the divine demon’s lips and the woman was silenced.
Hong Luan told everyone, “After appraisal, this divine demon has just undergone form transformation for 30 years. Her current strength is only at the Scholar level. Everyone can buy her back with ease.”
“Alright, next, we will begin the auction. According to the rules, everyone is free to increase the bid. The highest bidder wins!” Hong Luan said, “The starting price is one million spirit stones!”
Just as her voice fell, someone shouted, “Two million spirit stones!” He opened his mouth and added one million.
“Three million spirit stones!”
“Five million spirit stones!”
“Six million spirit stones!”
…
“Twenty million spirit stones!”
Very quickly, someone shouted a sky-high price of 20 million. And this was only the first treasure.
A man in a similar red hooded robe sat quietly in the noisy crowd. He did not participate in the bidding. He just raised his head and narrowed his long and narrow eyes. He silently remembered the identities of the people who participated in the bidding.
One, two, three…
Ah, there were actually more than a hundred beast tamers participating in the auction.
There was an endless stream of people participating in the bidding. Sheng Xiao was shocked. He said to Yu Huang in a low voice, “If the Sheng family declines in the future, my mother will end up like her.”
Yu Huang held Sheng Xiao’s arm. “So, we will become stronger. We will protect her with your father and sister.”
Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand and said nothing.
“25 million spirit stones!”
When the bid reached 25 million, the venue gradually fell silent. Hong Luan smiled and asked, “May I ask if there are any other participants?”
No one replied.
Although divine demons were precious, not everyone could take out 25 million.
Hong Luan stared in the direction of Area A and said, “In that case, congratulations, Mr. Luo. You successfully bid on a divine demon.” Mr. Luo was naturally this guest’s alias.
Mr. Luo stood up and waved at Hong Luan before sitting down.
As soon as he sat down, he felt a pair of gloomy and cold eyes on him. Those eyes were filled with killing intent and hatred.
However, Mr. Luo did not think much of it. He had successfully won the bid for the divine demon. There were many people who were jealous and envious of him. However, if they wanted to snatch the divine demon from his hands, they had to have the ability!
The second auction item was the Spirit Nurturing Drum that Lin Jiansheng wanted.
A Spirit Nurturing Drum was something that ordinary Beast Tamers had no use for, because it was only useful to Beast Tamers with weak souls and severely injured souls.
However, to people with injured souls, this was the treasure they wanted the most.
There were six people participating in the bidding.
“Eight million spirit stones!”
“Nine million spirit stones!”
“Ten million Spirit Stones!”
When the bid reached 10 million, the remaining five beast tamers hesitated. Hong Luan asked, “Is anyone else participating in the bidding?”
No one replied. As for the bidder, Mr. Zhang, he revealed a determined expression.
Hong Luan was about to knock the golden hammer when a robed man sitting in the corner of District X suddenly spoke. “1,010,000 spirit stones!”
Everyone was speechless.
Where did this country bumpkin come from?! He actually only increased the bid by 10,000.
Hong Luan’s smile was a little stiff. She asked the person in the corner gently, “Are you sure you want to participate in the auction?”
The person nodded.
Although the other party had only raised the bid by 10,000, this was not against the rules, so Hong Luan could not say anything. Hong Luan nodded and said, “Then, the bidding continues.”
Mr. Zhang glanced at Lin Jiansheng’s seat and snapped, “11 million spirit stones!”
Lin Jiansheng shouted loudly, “11,010,000 spirit stones.”
Mr. Zhang said, “Twelve million spirit stones!”
Lin Jiansheng said, “12,010,000 spirit stones.”
Yu Huang’s eyelids twitched. She couldn’t help but press her forehead with her hand as she thought to herself, ‘Mentor is so annoying!’
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he stood up. He pointed at District X and shouted, “Bastard, you’re deliberately causing trouble, aren’t you?!”
Lin Jiansheng stood up. His burly figure was hidden under his long robe and was filled with oppression.
He said the most despicable words with his strongest aura, “No matter how high you bid, I will only add ten thousand spirit stones to your base. This is not against the rules.”
Mr. Zhang chuckled. “Is that so? Then…” Mr. Zhang deliberately said to Hong Luan,” Hong Luan, I’ll offer… fifty million spirit stones! ”
After saying that, Mr. Zhang gave Lin Jiansheng a teasing and provocative look.
Lin Jiansheng met Mr. Zhang’s provocative gaze and cursed in his heart, ‘I was bidding freestyle with you, but you’re playing dirty with me. In that case, I can only snatch it.’
Lin Jiansheng was unperturbed as he released his psychic power and left traces of it on Mr. Zhang’s body so that he could pursue him after the auction ended.
After doing all this, Lin Jiansheng sat back down and said self-righteously, “I withdraw!”
Mr. Zhang’s fierce-looking face trembled, and even his mask started to tremble. “You’re crazy!” Mr. Zhang scolded Lin Jiansheng. “You’re screwing me over!”
Lin Jiansheng spread his hands and said, “I don’t have money. I can’t win against you. I admit defeat.”
Mr. Zhang almost choked to death.
