157 The Grand Auction 2 (2/2)

” He has been missing for a few years now.”

” Ah!” Xia Lian didn't know what she should say now. So, she just nodded her head and stared at the auction.

This Mo Yan seemed to be a lover of animals as he bought the white tiger and black panther at high prices. This time she did not interrupt his bidding, she did not want to be too obvious that she was just doing it for fun. Evoking the wrath of prince of other lands is not a good thing.

In the beginning, when someone competed with him for the Golden Lion, he thought that the other party was messing up with him. But, the person did not interrupt any of his other bidding's. Mo Yan was now convinced that the other party had no intention of messing up with him.

' Poor fellow… He must have taken quite a liking to the lion.' Mo Yan sighed in his heart. A certain prince did not know that all the men around Xia Lian are currently pitying him for falling into their great demon's trap.

Finally, the auctioneer placed the two wolf cubs at the centre of the stage. The bigger of the two seemed to be protecting the younger one, as it was standing protectively before the younger cub.

” Big Brother, those cubs are similar to us.” Xia Ming's words made her mind go blank for a while followed by fierce thumping of her heart.

” Hmm… The only difference is that the bigger cub is a female while the younger one is male whereas you both are male.” He Chun spoke while rubbing his chin.

But, those who knew that Xia Lian is a girl maintained complete silence as they stared at the little boy whose words struck the chords of their hearts. Xia Lian stared at the wolf cubs and she felt that those cubs are really similar to them, alone and helpless.

” The bidding starts at 100 gold coins.” The auctioneer had no hope on these pair of sickly wolf cubs. He determined that no one would be interested to buy them and so he stated the low price.

” 200 gold coins.” a man shouted making others laugh. They felt that man had no brains as he was wasting 200 gold coins on such wolf cubs.

”1000 gold coins.” Xia Lian's bidding evoked huge rounds of laughter from the crowds.

” Who in the world is that other mad man who wants these pair of sickly cubs?”

” Tsk... What did he find interesting in these cubs?”

Xia Lian heard everyone's sneers, but the expression on her face did not change. But, Xia Ming frowned ” Big Brother, why are they speaking like that?”

” Let them bark as much as they want. We should not care about such unimportant things.” she flicked his forehead and Xia Ming nodded very seriously after pondering for a while.

” Yes, brother.”
