Chapter 225 - Releasing Wolf King (1/2)

Jin Xiaoyu snorted in an imposing manner, “Shut up! Shut up! Do you want me to end the auction and drive you away from my place? You can take your treasures and leave if you go on like this!”

The crowd became quiet. So did Wolf King, though with a meaningful smile.

Jin Xiaoyu continued with the event. Xiao Baoshan was also busy serving tea and water, and doing whatever else he could do.

The auction went on smoothly until it was Wolf King’s turn to show his treasures. He unfolded his bag roughly and shouted, “All of these belonged to the previous empress dowager. The jade hairpin, the nine-color gauzy dress she wore when she slept, and the luminous pearl…” He cleared his throat. “Blow out the candles. Let me show you how amazing it is.”

As the workers looked to Jin Xiaoyu for agreement, she nodded slightly in approval.

After the candles and lanterns were dimmed, the hall was still bright. The pearl was s.h.i.+ning dazzlingly in the darkness, just like the fullest moon. All the people, including Jin Xiaoyu, were amazed by its brilliance. In the past eight years running this inn, she had never seen such a desirable treasure as this.

Someone shouted from below the stage, “Mr. Wolf, give us a price!”

“We’ll start at 100 golden taels!” Wolf King shouted.

Someone raised the price immediately, “110!”

“130!”

“160!”

“…”

Then, 200 taels was called. The bidding stopped here. Jin Xiaoyu said, “No more bids? If not… sold for 200 taels!”

At this moment, Wolf King handed the luminous pearl to her. “Miss Jin, I have plenty of such treasures and I don’t give a s.h.i.+t about these 200 taels. As long as you spend a night with me, you can take this pearl or my money.”

Hearing this, the money-oriented lady smiled sweetly. “Really?”

“Of course! Do you agree or not?”

“I want both the pearl and the other treasures here. Can I?” She blinked.

“You’re asking for too much.” He didn’t want to go back empty-handed.

“I thought you were generous. How could I sell myself for a night for only one pearl? Don’t think too highly of yourself. Buy me or give up,” she said disdainfully.

Embarra.s.sed by her words, Wolf King compromised and claimed, “All right! Your attention, everybody! I will spend a night with Miss Jin and will give her all my treasures here in return. Please be my witnesses!”

The crowd hooted again.

“Well done, Wolf King!”

“Seize the day and get married! Hahaha!”

“Mr. Wolf, Mrs. Wolf, have a good night!”

“…”

Satisfied with the cheers, Wolf King laughed loudly. Then, he carried Jin Xiaoyu in his arms and headed for his bedroom.

The people below the stage were still yelling with excitement. What a bombsh.e.l.l that this amorous lady would give in for money!

…

When it became quiet, Xiao Baoshan and his fellows began cleaning tables and was.h.i.+ng dishes.

Idiot said, “It’s a busy night again.”

Fool proposed, “Let’s sharpen the knives first. Once Miss Jin gives the order, we can then start working.”

Xiao Baoshan felt somewhat strange. When he turned around, Fool stopped him. “Dumb, stay and help us knead the dough. We’ll have meat buns for breakfast tomorrow.”

Xiao Baoshan didn’t move to offer help.

The candles in Wolf King’s room hadn’t been blown out. He was breathing heavily with l.u.s.t, but Jin Xiaoyu insisted that they drink to create a romantic mood before going to bed.
