Chapter 43 – Conflict In The Auction House The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)
shizi (世子): means “heir son“, referring to the heir apparent of qinwang, basically son of the emperor’s brother.
The wind whipped at her face, the scenery changed rapidly in front of her eyes. The anger in her had disappeared, she widened her eyes, was this the levitation practiced in the ancient times? This is so cool! She wanted to learn it someday when she was free.
Murong Xue saw a huge and impressive building with a beige white front door. The top part of the door was carved “Yu Bao Xuan”. The exterior of the building was elegant and magnificent.
Ouyang ShaoChen grasped her waist tightly and continued to fly in the sky, there was no indication that he was going to stop. Murong Xue reminded him softly, “Shizi, we’ve reached Yu Bao Xuan, we shall go down now.”
“There are many products available for auction this time in Yu Bao Xuan, it must be crowded in there. We are not going to the main hall, we’ll go to the private room.”
The windows looked exactly the same, Murong Xue asked curiously, “You sure you know which one is the private room that you’ve booked?”
“Of course I do!” Ouyang ShaoChen said confidently with a smile on his face and went straight into one of the private rooms.
When they landed at the private room, a familiar figure appeared in the room. It was Xunfeng.
When Xunfeng saw Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue, he bowed and greeted them politely.
Murong Xue nodded and released Ouyang Shaochen’s arm that wrapped around her waist. She made her steps toward the door of the private room. The hall was fully filled, a pretty lady was standing right at the center of the stage, her hand was holding a maroon colored Lingzhi, “This is a thousand years long Fire Lingzhi, it can cure over a hundred types of disease. The starting bid is ten thousand dollar.”
“Twenty thousand dollar…”
“Thirty thousand dollars…”
“Forty thousand dollars…”
Murong Xue smiled a little when she looked at the Fire Lingzhi. This is the highest grade among Lingzhi and it can be hardly found. No matter how severe the injuries are, as long as you consume the Fire Lingzhi, you will recover. The products selling in Yubao Xuan were really in good quality.
Ouyang Shaochen was standing behind the window, looking at his hand. This was the hand thatwrapped around her waist, he can still smell her fragrance, her nice scent. He walked toward the table and poured a cup of tea. He handed the cup of tea to Murong Xue, “Come. Sit down and have some tea.”
“Thanks.” Murong Xue took a sip of tea, her sight did not leave the stage. “I wonder if the Diyang grass was sold.”
“I’m waiting at here all day long, I’m sure that the Diyang grass was not sold yet.” said Xunfeng.
“That’s great.” Murong Xue was relieved to hear that. The pretty lady on the stage smiled sweetly and said, “Fire Lingzhi is now belonged to Sir Wang, congratulations! The next selling item is a box of Diyang grass, the starting bid is five thousand dollar.”
Murong Xue noticed that the box of Diyang grass was exactly the same as the Diyang grass she saw in the book previously.
“Ten thousand dollar…”
“Fifteen thousand dollars…”
“Twenty thousand dollar…”
“Fifty thousand dollars!” The whole auction hall was quieted down by the girl’s voice. The bidders frowned and shook their heads. Diyang grass has its own efficacy, it’s not suitable for everyone to consume like Ginseng or Lingzhi.
The bidders wanted to buy Diyang grass at a reasonable price and keep it, in case of any emergency. However, the bid called by Murong Xue was far exceeded the actual value of Diyang grass.
