Chapter 914 - Auction; Profiteer Bai! (1/2)
Chapter 914: Auction; Profiteer Bai!
Even after the recent great changes, Ethereal not only had no negative repercussions but became even more prosperous. This lively night was the most obvious evidence.
The Ethereal Merchant Group was the only one among the major merchant groups that rarely held auctions. Generally, very few stocked up puppets, and when an auction was held, people might not need the puppets offered or even didn’t need any at all. The Ethereal Merchant Group also traded other types of goods, but those weren’t doing as well as the other merchant groups.
“Hurry up! Don’t let your little friend wait!” Xin Tan pulled Bai Xiaofei all the way as if the person who had been exhausted during the day wasn’t her.
“It hasn’t started yet, what’s there to hurry? Those who do auctions are profiteers. They won’t start until all the moneybags get there,” said Bai Xiaofei lazily with an experienced tone.
“You are the biggest profiteer, alright? You’re the only one ever to ‘blackmail’ the emperor of Ethereal.” Tan Xin’s voice was full of contempt and… envy.
In response to this auction, Bai Xiaofei especially found Ling Yue and Ling Zong to get hold of a sum of money, as well as the biggest discount rate possible from the Ethereal Merchant Group.
Initially, Ling Zong had said that he could just give Bai Xiaofei what he wanted directly, but Bai Xiaofei rendered him speechless, saying that the process was the most fun part…
Boy, so you have a lot of free time?!
“Low-key, low-key, I don’t want to be too conspicuous,” Bai Xiao chortled and glossed over the topic.
At that time, Shi Kui and Yan Ran’er, who were waiting at the entrance of the building, saw them at a distance and came running over.
“Brother Fei!” Shi Kui greeted with a foolish smile. What his expression was saying was clear: ‘It’s all up to you tonight, Brother Fei!’
“Don’t worry, my wallet is bulging!” Bai Xiaofei smacked his pocket confidently.
Ling Yue had been quite generous when hearing that he needed money for the auction. In the end, the money would return to Ethereal’s hands while he conveniently returned Bai Xiaofei’s favor. In Ling Yue’s view, this was totally killing two birds with one stone.
However, he overlooked something…
Bai Xiaofei was a profiteer!
Following Shi Kui, the group arrived at a luxurious private room, which was an easy feat for Shi Kui as one of Pinocchio’s few disciples.
“Oh?! I haven’t seen this thing for a long time.” Bai Xiaofei’s eyes widened the instant he stepped into the room. At the same time, Huskie’s nose twitched and he shot out.
Crystal’s Longings!
Moments later, Huskie ran back with a Crystal’s Longing in his mouth.
“Wow, Huskie is so sensible, he knows to give it to his master…” Tan Xin stopped in the middle of her words.
Give it to Bai Xiaofei? She really thought too much…
Huskie ingratiatingly yelped a little to Blackie, who lazily opened her eyes and gave Huskie face by accepting the crystal. She actually also found it delicious…
“Just get used to it, this dog couldn’t care less about me.” Bai Xiaofei generously shrugged to the amazement of the rest and grabbed Huskie. “Your portion is fixed, so be careful how you share it.”
Saying this, he gathered the rest of the Crystal’s Longings on the table into his arms to the shocked eyes of Huskie, who felt like his life had become imperfect at that moment.
