When the little thirteenth prince entered the auction house, the auction had already been halfway through. The auction would of course not wait for him. Leaving the point aside that they didn’t know when the little thirteenth prince would come, and even if they did know, they wouldn’t wait for him, as they had their own regulations.

However, the majority of the items auctioned at the beginning of the of the auction were common and lower in quality. The majority of the good stuff was kept for the later part of the auction, and the best ones were only revealed at the end.

After many items were auctioned, the little thirteenth prince finally started to move as he raised his plate and bid. As soon he shouted a price, everyone immediately stopped bidding, and in the end, the item was smoothly obtained.

This was not because the price he bid was high, but it was because this item was not very important and no one wanted to offend him. At the very least, they would not bid against him over this kind of thing.

Sometimes, there were also indeed advantages for being a prodigal son where one would be able to take such some small advantages.

It was just that, the problem lied in –

“Young master, what are you buying this for? You are not intending to give this as a present to Princess Qi right?” Tigress frowned and asked.

This auction item was a sword, a decorative sword. Although this sword had some historical value, for a martial artist it was completely useless, which in other words also meant that this sword had no practical value at all.

This kind of decorative sword, usually only a prince would wear it on his belt as an accessory for them to look cool, and it was not something which noble young ladies or madams would bring along with them. Perhaps, some noble young ladies who had some practice in martial arts would bring along the decorative sword, but Princess Qi was a magician.

“Oh, that’s not it. This sword is bought for myself to play with. How can such a cheap thing be given to my wife as a present. I will buy a much better present later on.” The little thirteenth prince said while shaking his head. And the meaning behind the words “much better” that he had just spoken of, actually just meant, more expensive.

Numerous amounts of auction goods passed again and within all of them, the little thirteenth prince himself had also bid for a few. However, the little thirteenth prince’s bidding was due to it being fun and the items which he had bought, they were either strange magic transmission devices, or they would be magic scrolls which he would use as fireworks to play with.

Magic scrolls, and similar things, there isn’t much of a need to explain what they are, as there is very little to explain. Though one point that should be made, is that in the entire continent, the manufacturing of magic scrolls was not easy and the materials costs were also very expensive, therefore magic scrolls were very expensive and luxurious.

And all these expensive and luxurious items were instead to be used as fireworks by the little thirteenth prince, to look at when he has nothing to do. This was indeed luxurious and prodigal enough. However, to speak the truth, the effect of magic was indeed much more gorgeous when compared to normal fireworks.

“Right now, it is time for the last three auction goods for our auction, which is also our entire auction’s focal point. Firstly, this first item on display is the Moon God Laurel Crown which was spoken of in the legends. This laurel crown was Great Emperor Xi Si’s present to his most beloved empress. It was the heart’s blood crystallization of close to a hundred craftsman. And on top of the laurel crown, it also currently has the largest sapphire presently known. Now, the starting price will be at 50,000 gold coin. For those who are interested in it, please start bidding.” The auctioneer familiarly introduced the item for a while and immediately went into the auction sequence.

“Young master, this one is not bad. You can give this as a present to Princess Qi.” Although Tigress felt that this item was a bit too expensive, but up till now, this was the best choice.

It was just that, she instead found that, the little thirteenth prince seemed to not have much of an interest in it and totally had no intent of bidding.

“Oh, is this item good? Let’s buy it then, 100,000……” The little thirteenth prince said casually. From this sentence, it was clearly told to everyone that, if Tigress didn’t remind him, he would absolutely not know that this item was an item which girls would like a lot.

“The Ye Family’s thirteenth prince bid 100,000 already, is there anyone higher than him? 100,000 one time……”

“110,000!” Due to the worth of this Moon God Laurel Crown being more than 100,000, there were still many people continuing to bid. Unless the amount of the bid exceeded that of the item’s worth, there would still be a lot of people bidding.

“120,000.” The little thirteenth prince did not think at all and just immediately bid once again.

“150,000!” That person continued shouting out a higher price and not out of everyone’s expectation, just after that person finished calling out a higher price, the little thirteenth prince’s voice once again rang out.

“160,000.”
