Chapter 1424: You’re This Kid’s Maid, Right? (1/2)

After a brief lapse of silence, Chen Xiao said to Wang Tong, “Young Lord Wang, that punk cannot have so many spirit stones on him!”

Wang Tong’s eyes lit up at Chen Xiao’s words, and his mind that was clouded by anger cleared in an instant. He agreed readily, “That ‘s right, how could that punk have so many spirit stones, absolutely impossible!”

As Wang Tong did not deliberately lower his voice, the whole auction hall heard what he said.

Everyone was looking at Huang Xiaolong with doubt once more.

Even though Huang Xiaolong’s actions had been extravagant so far, they couldn’t help but doubt if he really had close to one hundred million low grade-eight spirit stones?

One hundred million! That number of spirit stones were enough to build a small city’s walls.

“May I ask if this Young Noble could…?” The auctioneer looked at Huang Xiaolong with doubt clearly written all over his face.

Huang Xiaolong glanced at the auctioneer without any emotion, and casually waved his hand and spirit stones rained down from the air in front of everyone’s eyes. Countless spirit stones thumped audibly on the floor, cutting off the auctioneer’s remaining words.

By the time spirit stones stopped falling, they had already formed a pile as tall as a small hill on the auction stage, exuding a richer spiritual energy than low grade-eight spirit stones.

This…?! The auctioneer was agape.

Not only him, but everyone’s jaws fell to the floor looking at the pile of spirit stones.

“That’s right, these are mid-grade eight spirit stones, exactly thirty million.” Huang Xiaolong’s indifferent voice rang in the hall.

Thirty million mid-grade eight spirit stones! Gasps sounded from every corner of the auction hall.

The exchange of higher and lower quality of same grade spirit stones were calculated by one to two ratio respectively, therefore, thirty million mid-grade eight spirit stones could be exchanged for sixty million low grade-eight spirit stones!

At this moment, no one dared to voice their doubt anymore.

Wang Tong slumped despondently back into his chair, and the madness in his eyes was completely gone, only the bleakness of defeat remained.

‘Thirty million mid-grade eight spirit stones!’ His mind screamed.

Bei Xiaomei’s eyes shone even brighter as her gaze was fixed on the thirty million mid-grade eight spirit stones on the auction stage while she mumbled under her breath, “So much allowance money!”

Huang Xiaolong, Xiang Xun, Xu Baisheng, and others were flabbergasted, ‘allowance money?’ Huang Xiaolong was rendered speechless at Bei Xiaomei’s description.

“These are thirty million mid-grade eight spirit stones, check if there is any error?” Huang Xiaolong looked at the auctioneer with an aloof expression and added, “If you have any doubt, you can have your appraisers verify them.”

“There’s no mistake, no need to verify, no need, no need at all!” The auctioneer waved his hands anxiously with a forced smile on his face.

As an auctioneer of this auction house, how could he not recognize whether these mid grade-eight spirit stones were genuine or otherwise.

Huang Xiaolong went on, “In that case, please continue with the auction.” Huang Xiaolong hadn’t taken out thirty million mid-grade eight spirit stones at once to show off, but to deter other bidders. He was showing everyone that he would continue to bid. As long as the other competitors did not have spirit stones exceeding sixty million low grade-eight spirit stones, it was futile to compete with him.

As expected, after the auctioneer continued with the bidding, no one responded.

Those who had wished to bid earlier, gave up when their gaze fell on the pile of mid-grade eight spirit stones.

Slumped into the chair inside private room number one, fury, sullenness, and killing intent flickered interchangeable on Wang Tong’s face. This time, he had only brought sixty million low grade-eight spirit stones with him.

Soon, one minute passed by...

Since there was no response for a long time, the auctioneer announced, “Since no one has a higher bid, this grandmist era jade token belongs to…”

“Sixty-one million low grade-eight spirit stones.” Suddenly, a voice rang in the hall.

Everyone blanked for a second, then looked towards the source of the voice, and saw an old man clad in a black robe sitting in the corner of the last row seats. The old man’s face was sunken in, making his turbid eyes look even more eerie.

“Uncle, that old grandpa is richer than you.” Bei Xiaomei said as she blinked her eyes at Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong smiled, then called out, “Sixty-two million low grade-eight spirit stones.”
