Chapter 154: Phoenix Saliva (2/2)

”10.5 million.”

After hearing this, Yun Wu in her box had no intention to make another bid.

That bony druggist, a scarlet blush on his cheeks and neck, fists clenched, fixed number 3 box with a glare, the look in his eyes heavy with murderousness.

”You'll regret this!”

Having no other choice, the druggist slumped down in his seat after making this remark of bluster through gritted teeth.

He had only brought ten thousand taels. Originally he had been absolutely positive that with the status of the royal household and the influence of the queen, he would be able to get the bottle of saliva of a 1000-year-old phoenix at a price no higher than five million.

But unexpectedly, because of the woman in that wing-room, all his bids for lots that took his fancy had failed.

He found it impossible to swallow all this.

Young Master Long sitting in the front unnoticeably twisted his head aside and flicked a glance at the bony druggist several rows away from him, his eyes slightly squinted as a flicker flashed across his golden pupils.

Eventually, the bottle of saliva of a 1000-year-old phoenix went to the highest bidder who was in number two wing-room.

In number three wing-room, Yun Wu cavalierly took a sip of her tea, a calm and bland expression on her face, showing a total disregard for the threatening words of the skinny druggist.

None of her reactions had escaped Nangong Yi's notice, who had been smiling all along.

”You've been staring at me for such a long time. Have you seen enough?” Yun Wu put down her teacup and twisted her head aside to look at Nangong Yi wearing a veil-hat.

Nangong Yi replied with a gentle and cultivated smile, ”If it bothers you, Miss, I'll try looking at you less often.”

Yun Wu fell speechless.

'Is this 'son of the Grand Maester' soft in the head?' she wondered.

Though unable to see his face, she could feel that this man had been gazing at her with a goofy smile all along.

This made her skin prickle with apprehension.
