Chapter 3214 Lesser Fullness (I'm impressed)
Hu Xiaoman's gaze was fixed on the two rag dolls on the auction stage.
The yellow doll and the purple bird doll were simply made of sewn-together fabric.
The stitches were even slightly rough, but they made her heart clench suddenly, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible thread.
Although they were just two unremarkable pieces of fabric, she could clearly sense the faint aura emanating from them.
That was the familiar taste that belonged only to Little Yellow and Little Purple, warm and genuine.
"Starting bid: 10,000 high-grade spirit stones." The auctioneer's loud voice echoed through the slightly noisy hall.
Just as Hu Xiaoman's fingertip touched the bidding paddle, a lazy, casual male voice suddenly came from the private room on the second floor opposite: "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."
The slight noise abruptly stopped, and the entire place became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!
The price has increased tenfold!
A murmur rippled through the crowd as they all looked up at the private room hidden behind the brocade curtain, whispers rising and falling.
"It's the devilish young master, Mei Qianxiao!"
"Why would that playboy be interested in two stuffed animals?"
"Who knows? He's always loved to get involved and stir things up."
"He must have his eye on some girl and wants to take the picture as a gift to please her."
"Anyway, the Ghostly Clan is incredibly wealthy, so these spirit stones are nothing to them."
Hu Xiaoman's eyes were slightly cold as she looked at the room opposite, which was separated by a curtain, with a puzzled expression.
Ning Shuang, standing beside her, frowned and glared fiercely in that direction. She explained in a low voice, "Junior Sister, that's Mei Qianxiao, the young master of the Ghost Clan."
"The only son of the Ghost Realm Enforcer."
"This guy is a lazy playboy who does nothing but harass respectable women all day long. What's even more infuriating is that he's my sister Ningxue's fiancé!"
"I really don't know which girl he's going to give those two dolls to. It's so unlucky to be entangled with someone like that."
By the end, Ning Shuang's tone was filled with undisguised disgust.
Yang Rui cleared his throat and couldn't help but complain, "Fifth Senior Sister, is your sister's taste really that questionable?"
In his eyes, anyone who dared to take things from his junior sister was not a good person.
Ning Shuang rolled her eyes: "This is a family marriage, and my sister is completely unwilling."
"However, she said earlier that once her cultivation level improved further, she would go to the Ghost Clan to annul the engagement."
Hu Xiaoman's expression suddenly turned cold.
I want to take pictures of the Little Yellow and Little Purple plush toys and give them to other girls.
It's impossible!
This is her most cherished spirit pet avatar, how could it fall into the hands of others?
"150,000 high-grade spirit stones." Her voice was clear and cold, yet firm.
The man in the opposite compartment seemed to pause for a moment, then let out a low chuckle, tinged with a hint of mockery: "Interesting."
"Two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Hu Xiaoman's expression remained unchanged, calm yet resolute: "Two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Three hundred thousand." The other party raised the price without hesitation, their tone even more mocking.
"I'm so poor, I'm so poor that all I have left are spirit stones!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Several bursts of laughter echoed from the private room, arrogant and irritating.
The whole place was in an uproar again.
Three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!
This is already an astronomical price!
It's worth noting that the Blood Demon Bead, which was highly sought after before, only sold for 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.
These two seemingly ordinary plush toys actually fetched 300,000 yuan at auction?
Young Master Mei is indeed insane beyond belief!
As expected of the Ghostly Clan Head, he's so poor he only has spirit stones left, which makes people both envious and hateful!
Just as Hu Xiaoman was about to continue bidding, Zhou Wenlun, who was standing next to her, suddenly stood up.
His usual carefree smile vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling and intimidating aura, and the air pressure around him plummeted.
"Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire venue.
The whole place was dead silent.
Half a million!
This is no longer a simple bidding war; it's a blatant declaration of war!
There was a moment of silence in the opposite booth, then Mei Qianxiao's voice, which was a bit deeper, came from there: "Friend, are you sure you want to compete with this young master?"
Zhou Wenlun's lips curled into a faint smile, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "What, do you think the Ghostly Family can monopolize the auction?"
"Although my Zhou family is a prominent family in Feiyang City, we are not as powerful as the Ghost Clan, but we can still afford to produce these spirit stones."
Mei Qianxiao sneered: "Fine, then I'll see how long you can hold out."
"Six hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Without hesitation, Zhou Wenlun's voice was firm and resolute: "One million high-grade spirit stones."
The entire audience erupted in chaos.
one million!
This is an astronomical figure that an ordinary cultivator could not earn in several lifetimes!
Yang Rui stared wide-eyed at Zhou Wenlun beside him, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
Hua Nian was also shocked. This guy who usually laughed and acted like a fool was actually so rich.
Ning Shuang was also stunned and stood there.
Although she knew that the Zhou family was a top family in Feiyang City, she did not expect Zhou Wenlun to be so wealthy and powerful.
Hu Xiaoman also turned to look at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Zhou Wenlun felt her gaze, and his cold aura instantly vanished, replaced by a bright smile: "Fiancée, don't worry, I will definitely help you get these two dolls."
Hu Xiaoman: “…”
Everyone: "..."
What a complete sucker!
A long silence fell over the opposite compartment once again.
After a long while, Mei Qianxiao's voice finally came, tinged with resentment and dissatisfaction: "You win."
The auctioneer quickly brought down his gavel, his voice trembling: "One million high-grade spirit stones per auction!"
"One million high-grade spirit stones twice!"
"One million high-grade spirit stones three times!"
"make a deal!"
Zhou Wenlun sat back down, his face returning to its usual playful grin.
He turned to look at Hu Xiaoman, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "Fiancée, do you like this gift?"
Hu Xiaoman looked at him, her heart filled with mixed feelings, and finally nodded gently.
She could never figure out Zhou Wenlun's true intentions in approaching her.
I always felt that this person, though seemingly cynical, was actually extremely shrewd.
Unexpectedly, he would spend a million high-grade spirit stones to buy two rag dolls that were worthless to him.
"Thank you," she said softly.
Zhou Wenlun smiled even more broadly: "You're welcome. My fiancée's affairs are my affairs."
Hu Xiaoman frowned: "I am not your fiancée!"
Zhou Wenlun replied in a serious tone, "Okay, fiancée!"
Yang Rui gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration: "Young Master Zhou, I'm impressed!"
"Wow, so rich and powerful! No wonder he's the young master of the Zhou family!"
"Um... could you lend me five thousand high-grade spirit stones for an emergency?"
Zhou Wenlun maintained his gentle smile, but his tone was resolute: "No way!"
Yang Rui pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Stingy!"
