C27 Mermaid's Tears

"Four thousand!"

"I, I bid 5,000 silver!"

"Five thousand and three hundred!" The Minister's face turned dark as he roared.

The person who had just said five thousand taels was obviously a bit lacking in confidence. Now, with Lord Shang Shu not even blinking his eyes as he raised the bid, almost no one came to snatch it.

Although interspatial rings were practical and were a symbol of status on the continent, due to the fact that the price was far beyond the bottom line, if he spent all his money to buy an interspatial ring but couldn't buy anything to store it in, then where would he cry?

Seeing that the ring was about to fall into the hands of the Minister, the poor people could only sigh.

"Five thousand three hundred and fifty." That seductive woman's seductive eyes swept across the hall and saw that many people had their heads lowered in disappointment.

"Five thousand three hundred and two."

"I'll pay 5,300 silver coins …" "One bronze plate, one bronze plate!"

"…"

The alluring woman clearly heard the voice coming from the room upstairs. She looked up with a dark face.

The Magnificent Sky Auction House had never set any rules for raising the bid, but no one had ever shamelessly added in a copper coin!

Su Liuyuan, who was in the room, helplessly looked at the little girl who was playing around with a treasure. No matter how he looked at it, he liked it no matter how he looked at it. Although this woman was clever and cunning, she wouldn't act against innocent people.

The Minister must have offended her! He thought of the rumored hot letter from the previous period that had come to seek justice from Shangguan Qing …

With a hint of coldness in his eyes, Su Liuyuan coldly pierced towards the flustered and exasperated Lord Shang Shu.

Anyone who offended Leng Xian was provoking Su Liuxin, and it was even a hundred times more terrifying than offending Su Liuyuan! The Minister suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill and shuddered, ignoring it.

"Woman, don't worry about raising the bid. I'm right behind you. Your husband's property is enough for your wife to squander." Su Liuxin said in a rich and imposing manner as he played with the porcelain bowls decorating the private dining room.

Now, Leng Zhixian really wanted to say, "tycoon, let's be friends!"

However, he held himself back. She pretended that she didn't understand as she glanced at Su Liuyuan, "You have to thank me for being so righteous and for spending all this money for you, in case you still think about spending all of your wealth even after living in peace. But calling yourself your husband is your fault, right?"

With that, she looked at the situation in the hall with excitement, leaving Su Liu Meng to the side.

"Shameless …" "Five thousand and four hundred!" The Judge was so angry that his face turned red, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find the source of the voice. He only knew that it was inside the private room.

Those who were able to enter the private room were all either rich or noble. They had extremely high statuses, and with just his strength, he couldn't afford to offend them.

"Five thousand four hundred silver taels and one copper coin." The voice was indifferent, without a hint of warmth or emotion. It was just calmly speaking, making a bid that others would find difficult to voice out.

The Minister clenched his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. No more bidding? How could this be possible!? All he was missing was a copper coin, and the interspatial ring in his possession would fly away?

"Ten thousand taels!" The president, Zhang Tong, slapped the shoulder of the attendant beside him. The attendant who had followed him was slapped into a fart on the spot. It was as if he could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking in the noisy auction …

It could be seen how flustered and exasperated Zhang Tong was.

"Lord Shang Shu is truly rich, this junior truly admires and admires him. Actually, I've only admired you for a long time, and seeing that you like it, I wanted to bid for it and gift it to you. However, it seems that I don't need it anymore …"

Leng Shang Xian's tone was filled with admiration, it was so infuriating that Zhang Tong's face turned green, he suddenly clutched his chest and violently coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, unconscious.

He had been fooled by an unknown person into giving him 10,000 taels! 10,000 taels! His annual salary was only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, but this time, he had spent ten thousand!

"Ha ha-ha ha, this move is perfect!" This young master will not pursue the crime of wearing the same color clothes as me! This young master has long disliked that dogshit Zhang Tong! " Lin Zixi excitedly put his arm around Jingqiu's shoulders and looked at her as if they were brothers.

He didn't expect that this act of kissing would be pushed back by Jingqiu with disgust. She even blushed a little. Lin Xi pursed her lips. This guy, wasn't he too shy?

"The next auction item, Life Breaking Pill, can break through the barrier and directly advance." The alluring woman took out a bottle of medicinal pills and uncorked it. Immediately, a fragrant aroma wafted out to fill the entire auction hall.

"The starting price is 300,000 gold."

As the enchanting female hammer sounded out, the sounds of bidding could be heard.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

"Five million! We bid five million!" Everyone was anxious. How many people had cultivated for so long without a chance to level up? They didn't have any Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads, so they could only rely on this pill to level up.

However, this kind of pill was still hard to come by. It required a level of alchemist to refine. In the entire Tian Yuan Continent, there were only a few who had a level of alchemist!

"8 million." A voice came from the room. After the auction had proceeded for half a day, there was finally a normal bidding sound coming from the room!

Su Liuyuan glanced at the eager little girl beside him and smiled charmingly, "Woman, play to your heart's content and spend as much money as you can. I have a lot of money, but I won't be able to spend it all."

Su Liujin spread out his hands with a rich look on his face. How could Leng Tianxin let go of such a great opportunity and immediately followed through with the bidding.

"8 million and 1 copper."

"Puff …"

The people below nearly vomited blood. Why did this person come out again? You're snatching everything, are you done yet!

"Eight million five hundred thousand." Emperor Long Yucang, who was in the private room, felt his heart ache. It was with great difficulty that he found the time to participate in the auction. He wanted to bid for the Life Breaking Pill, but who would have thought that he would meet such a person?

"Eight million five hundred thousand and one copper." Coldsteel slowly increased the bid, a crafty look on his face.

"10 million!" The people in the hall couldn't wait to get the Life Breaking Pill and advance to the next level.

Could it be that this trip would be wasted again!?

Long Yufei thought of the somewhat empty treasury, then thought of her own strength and sighed, "Sigh, forget it. I'll personally go gather the herbs and get an alchemist to refine it for me."

"Ten million going once."

"Ten million! Two million!"

At this point, everyone held their breath, afraid that the cold voice would ring again, especially the person who had bid 10 million gold.

"10 million three times, deal!" The enchanting hammer of the woman knocked, and the auctioneer of the Life Breaking Pill instantly jumped up in excitement. Long Yucang looked through the enchantment at the joyful person and gritted his teeth.

What's there to be proud about? Isn't it just a Life Destruction Pill!? I don't care!

He reluctantly glanced at the Life Breaking Pill that he had not withdrawn in time, shook his sleeves, and left with the eunuch who had come with him, pretending that he did not envy him at all.

However, those in the hall who were exceptionally cocky broke out in a cold sweat.

Before leaving, he even glanced at the old eunuch grudgingly and said, "It's you. You must tell me that you have come to bid for some Life Destruction Pill. Did you fail to do so?"

"…"

The eunuch wiped his cold sweat.

"The next one is from the previous dynasty, the phoenix king's treasure, the Heaven Returning Northern Dipper Zither. It is said that the music played by this zither is filled with sorrow. No matter how happy the music is, it will still be affected by her sadness."

"However, it has the power to take one's soul away. The only thing left to do is to see if the user can decipher the secrets within and obtain the score."

As the enchanting woman spoke, she even fiddled with the strings of the zither. Her voice was ethereal, and with just that one sound, it was like the wails of ghosts.

"The starting price is 100,000 gold."

After the woman said this, not many people followed her bid. Not many people knew how to play this musical instrument, and the number of women who dared to come to the auction house and compete with this group of wealthy people was pitifully few.

Chu Xiangyun stood in the crowd and eagerly looked at the Heaven Returning Northern Dipper. With such a low price, she definitely would have been able to get it safely. Thinking about it, she said, "One hundred and ten thousand taels of gold."

Cold-Up Strings followed the voice and saw a familiar face. Wasn't this Chu Xiangyun!

He had teamed up with Leng Qingqiu and the others many times to bully her.

After thinking about it, Leng Xiangsuo's face turned playful. 'Then I'll let you bleed and get your revenge.' She didn't hold a grudge against Leng Zhixian because she wanted to buy things that would clear her path in a short time.'

"I don't think that I'm able to understand her secrets. To take a person's soul and make it sound simple, it might not be too difficult. 100,000 gold taels is not a small number." The women looked at the guqin on the stage and spoke seriously.

"En, that's right, this thing is a relic. It would be bad if some ghost is attracted."

The women rubbed the goosebumps on their arms, not daring to think any further. Chu Xiangyun spoke, but no one followed up.

Just when Chu Xiangyun was certain that the zither was a given, Leng Xiangsuo spoke up again, "One hundred and ten thousand taels, zero …" She stretched out her voice, and the people below were short of breath from her words.

"Another copper coin, right?" Chu Xiangyun disdainfully rolled her eyes. No matter how much money she paid, I will definitely return to the Big Dipper Zither!

"This time, I'll add a little more, just a little bit more." The last sentence was spoken with great force, as if he had lost a lot of blood. He had only added two copper coins, yet it gave off a tragic feeling, like he was unwilling to part with hundreds of millions of gold coins.

The others all vomited blood. A single copper coin is already too much. What kind of tone is that!?

"Four hundred thousand." Anyways, dad is rich, and I still have a master that protects me like that, no matter how much money I spend, it doesn't matter.

"Ai, it's too expensive. If I had him, with my intelligence, I would definitely be able to understand the mysteries of the Soul Search technique. When that time comes, wouldn't it be easy to capture someone I like?"

As if he was advertising for the auction house, Leng Shang Yin threw out a huge temptation.

"Then I'll pay, one million!" It was as if she had made a great decision as she spoke in a dejected manner. This time she didn't add a single copper coin, but instead directly soared to one million. This was ten times the base price!

This time, the crowd was in an uproar. This thing, even though it was fully grasped, it was still a treasure. If it wasn't, it was still a piece of trash that could only be played with. Was there really a need to spend so much money?

Although the words of this person were indeed very moving, most people still had a clear understanding of their own abilities, and believed that they were unable to understand the mysterious Soul Search technique.

But who was the bidding Chu Xiangyun?

Having been praised as a genius girl since childhood, she had almost reached the heavens. She naturally believed in herself as she raised her head high and said, "Hmph, if you want to talk about a genius, then it would be me, Chu Xiangyun. Two million taels!"

As long as Chu Xiangyun thought about how Lin Zixi would be enchanted by her zither, even Prince Feng of Lingguo would be willing to bow down to her, let alone Long Yuxuan, who had always said that he would take her as his wife.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Today, no matter what, she had to record the zither!

"Two hundred …" "Three hundred thousand." Leng Shang Yin's tone sounded as though he was about to cry. Everyone guessed that this person was most likely a woman.

"Five million." Chu Xiangyun's neck rose even higher. She felt disdain towards the person she was bidding on. "No money?" Don't come out and auction if you don't have money!

Leng Shang Yin messed around the entire time, raising the price of the Heavenly Returning Northern Dipper Zither, which was originally only 10 taels of gold, to a staggering price.

Chu Xiangyun had just called out the price, but she was already beginning to regret it. She had always felt that someone was leading her by the nose, but now, the price of a broken guqin had risen to such a terrifying height!

"Five million one hundred thousand." She believed that Chu Xiangyun would absolutely not give up. She liked Long Yuxuan and it was not a one-night thing for her to do so. Although Long Yuxuan liked Shui Qingwan in his heart, he knew that his identity as the young prince would never be able to match up to the high status of the Shui family.

But which woman doesn't want to be able to fasten a man more firmly? What kind of woman didn't want her man to be so full of himself that she couldn't pretend to be someone else?

Chu Xiangyun felt a bit pained. Five million was already her limit. If she had a little more, maybe her father and master would not be satisfied.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. She might as well let this bidder be a fool. Next time, she would not bid anymore.

When Chu Xiangyun thought of that big brother crying while holding a tattered guqin, she became excited for no reason, "8 million silver!"

As the sound of her laughter faded, Chu Xiangyun began to wait happily.

However, he hadn't been able to hear that voice of his for a long time. Chu Xiangyun was dumbfounded.

"8 million gold, deal!"

The enchanting woman wiped off her cold sweat. She had not expected that the person who only added one copper coin would be so merciless when bidding.

Chu Xiangyun's heart broke as she heard the alluring woman's bid. Although she had won her opponent as she wished, she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.

This time, everyone finally understood. Whatever that person didn't want, they would add one copper coin after another. Only then would she be able to get an even higher price.

Could it be that he was hired by the auction house?!

Everyone could not help but shiver.

The auction had been going on for a long time, and there were many items being auctioned. However, every time, Leng Xian Yin would follow closely behind and increase the bid in an unaffected manner.

"How shameless! Can you stop snatching from us! "

"How insidious!"

"Next time, I can't continue to play like this. My family is gone, and I haven't gotten married yet!"

Even the people in the room were scared out of their wits. Luckily, they were not interested in those things just now, otherwise, they would definitely have been screwed.

"The ones below are the extremely rare species of the continent, the merfolk that only exist in legends." The alluring woman interrupted the crowd and whispered to each other. Just as she finished speaking, a few attendants pushed out an iron cage.

The cage was surrounded by a fiery red glow, it was obvious that the cage had been enveloped by the fire element, in order to suppress the Fallen Dweller, preventing her from escaping.

Inside the cage, the merperson with the fish tail was lying on the floor with a pale and transparent face. Her hair was a silvery white, as smooth and silky as water. The silvery white scales on her head were exuding a dazzling radiance.

She just stood there, motionless, but she caused the hearts of everyone present to tremble.

"The merfolk." Leng Shang Xian stared at the mermaid without blinking. Although she was suppressed, she did not have the slightest bit of fear, being neither servile nor overbearing, causing Leng Shang Yin to admire her very much.

At this moment, she felt the Underworld Cradle in her hand faintly burning with a red glow. It seemed that she was very anxious.

How could a ring be so anxious?

Leng Xiangsuian was puzzled, she frowned as she looked at the mermaid below, who was being fought over and bidding. With such a figure and beautiful face, it was obvious that if the people below wanted to bring her back, it would be no more than a warm bed.

"You want it?" Su Liuxin's thin lips curled up slightly as he stared into Leng Shixian's eyes. His watery eyes flickered continuously. It was obvious that he was extremely curious and regretful towards this mermaid.

"I, feel, she's calling." Coldstring did not hide anything from Su Liushi. He raised his hand and showed Su Liushi the shining cradle of hell.

Although she was not cold-blooded, she had never felt any regret for a stranger before. Now, however, that mermaid's soft and strong appearance had suddenly stabbed into her heart for no reason.

Su Liuji's slender and beautiful hands stroked the Underworld Cradle on Leng Shang's index finger. After stroking it a few times, he vaguely felt that the Underworld Cradle was heating up. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly and he said no more.

"Three million gold!" In the hall, one by one, the boorish men's voices sounded, one after another, as they were all mesmerized by this man. Even the way she was glaring at him felt her heart go numb.

"Woman, increase the price." Su Liuyuan curled his lips charmingly. His pitch-black pupils made it difficult for others to see what he was thinking, but they could feel the wisdom with which he was scheming.

"Three million and one copper coin."

It was this voice again …

This voice was cold, clean, and so pure that it could be easily distinguished. Even those lecherous people couldn't help but shiver.

It was this again! Don't be delusional. We'll fall for it this time!

Everyone quieted down when Leng Xian said those words. They looked at the private room above with an expression that said 'don't even think about getting in my way'.

"Four million!" You're in a private room, and you actually shamelessly added a copper coin? Hahaha, this is too embarrassing. " From the other side of the room, a sarcastic female voice could be heard.

"I'm very poor. So what if I only add one copper coin? Did I take your copper coin? Four million and one copper coins! "

"…"

The corners of the surrounding crowd twitched. Hmm, yes, you are poor, you are very poor, we have money, okay?

Su Liuyuan looked at the pitiful and crafty face of the little girl beside him. He really wanted to hug her and give her a good hug.

"Six million!" The woman was clearly angry. Her voice had become sharp, and it sounded like it was breaking.

"6 million and 1 copper coin."

"8 million!"

"8 million and 1 copper."

On one side, they were so angry that they were tearing their hearts out as they continuously added in millions, while on the other side, they calmly added in one copper coin after another. The originally vying lords couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"I'm going to take this mermaid for sure!" No one is allowed to snatch it from me! " Shui Qingguan rushed out of the private room, and looked around for people who wanted to bid against her. However, because her strength was still shallow, she was unable to find anyone through the Lei Family barrier.

"Oh, so it's this young miss." Coldly raising his eyebrows, Leng Shang Yin's white fingertips brushed against his lips. She was so enchanting that even Su Liuyuan couldn't tear his eyes away.

"Then let me tell you, I want the merfolk, and I want you too!" The crowd erupted into a cacophony of noise, the entire arena was filled with the arrogant, unruly, and slightly provocative tone of the person in question.

"Fifty million!" Let me tell you, I am a water tribe member of the hermit clan. Don't fight with me, you will meet a miserable end! " Shui Qingguan howled with her heart broken. She would not rest until she had achieved her goal.

Leng Zhixian rolled his eyes, "Don't use your status to pressure others. Your identity is not worth mentioning to me. Pigs are even divided into different breeds. Why aren't you scared of those noble pigs? "I will do what I say. I will get the merfolk of today.

After she finished speaking, she ignored the livid expression of the lady outside the barrier and lightly opened her red lips: "50 million and 1 copper coin."

Her voice was still indifferent, neither fast nor slow, but brimming with a sense of confidence. On the other hand, Shui Qingguan had become completely deranged. The image of a noble lady no longer existed.

"Wan-Er, stop fighting and just give it to her. No matter how much you pay, she will pay you with 1 copper coin. She is in a top tier room and will be as rich as us."

Shui Zixian drummed her fingers on the table. She was much stronger than Shui Qing, so she could naturally feel the source of the sound. However, she couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

"Mother, your daughter isn't willing to surrender such a rare mermaid to someone else. If we, the Water race, want to dominate the hermit clans and enter the main clan, we need this water type creature to increase our strength!"

"You can't beat her."

Shui Zixian wasn't trying to extinguish his prestige by putting up a front for others, but rather, he had been looking at her coldly from the start. From the start till now, he had seen the emotional tone and attitude of his daughter and the other person.

His daughter had clearly lost to her opponent by a large margin!

That person's arrogant tone did not put the hermit clan in his eyes at all, and he was determined to get the mermaid. If they continued to fight, Shui Qingguan would lose his patience and give up.

Just like that, the rare Draconians of this continent became the loot of Coldstring.

Everyone was even more afraid of this request. They made up their minds that as long as it was something they wanted, they would not raise the price!

At this moment, Leng Zhixian still didn't know how much trouble she had caused for the next auction.

The Drake did not deliver the item like the others. Instead, it was directly transported to Leng Zou's room. No one could see where the Drake Man had gone to.

"If you want to kill me, kill me or cut me, then do as you say. However, if you all are to tarnish my body, then I will definitely not let you all have an easy time!" The mermaid stayed inside the cage and didn't dare to touch the fire element around the cage at all. She fiercely glared at Su Liujing and Leng Xian through the cage.

After walking a few rounds, the last wisp of spirit energy pierced through the tip of his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the mermaid's forehead.

Instantly, a formation that was a contract of heaven and earth appeared, and a contract of equal strength was formed. The light dispersed, and the cage vanished with it.

"Your name is Yu Lei." Leng Shang Xing looked at the alarmed and confused Yu Wei as he spoke indifferently.
