163 The Grand Auction 8 (1/2)
The auction continued on and the prices of the Silent Night soared up with each bidding. The four bottles of the poison were sold at 8,000,000 each which was pretty good price according to her.
What made her dumb founded was the intense war of bidding's for her antidote 'Purgatory'. Once it was consumed, no poison could ever harm them. So she understood the excitement of the crowd.
The only problem was that Xia Lian was starting to get bored. The shirtless man, Mo Yan was not bidding much to her disappointment. Ever her shameless father was not bidding…
She then stared at the men in her room. Jun Moyin and Lu Wen were busy eating and it seemed that they are comfortable around each other. Lu Wen was friendly with Jun Moyin because the former decided that the latter was not a pest who would bother his little sister. Much to Jun Moyin's surprise Lu Wen was the one who initiated the conversation and they immediately hit off, thanks to their love for food…
” Gluttons…” Xia Lian snorted playfully and Jun Moyin immediately turned towards her ” Sis Xia, so once the antidote is taken no poison can kill us, right?”
Xia Lian smirked on seeing the look of expectation on his face. She ruthlessly nipped off his thoughts ” No poison can affect you except my super special signature poisons. So, don't even think about playing with me.”
” Got it. I will never ever go against you…” Jun Moyin was scared to death and he raised his hands in surrender.
” Sis Xia, are poisons really that scary in the hands of women?” Jun Moyin was confused about this.
” Am I am Man or a Woman?” Xia Lian face-palmed at him.
” Of course you are a girl!”
” Did you forget that I am the one who created these poisons and here you are still asking if poisons are that scary in the hands of women.”
Xia Lian was truly rendered speechless by this kid.
Now, Jun Moyin was truly scared. He was deceived by his sister-in-law's bunny like appearance. Though he was used a test subject, he was not traumatized by that experience. He only treated it as playing around. But, now it seems that he can't tease Xia Lian anymore and it made him sad.
His gloomy appearance was somehow very pleasing to her eyes. Nodding her head in satisfaction, she turned to look at Xuan Li Wei only to find that the latter was thinking deeply.
” What are you thinking?” she waved her tiny hands before his eyes successfully distracting him in the process.
” Oh! It's nothing.” Xuan Li Wei shook his head before speaking ” Your grandfather will be back in the capital soon.”
” Really! Did my grandfather agree to come back?” Xia Lian's face brightened at the mention of the stubborn old man but it immediately turned into an expression of disbelief. She heard that no one can convince him, so she was not sure if that old man would agree so peacefully.
