Chapter 51

“Ten white crystals from VIP Room 7. Any more bids?” The voice of Huamei’er was quivering. An egg picked by them randomly could be sold at the price of ten white crystals. The price was too much higher than her expectation.

“Ten white crystals going once…”

“Ten white crystals going twice…”

“Ten white crystals, sold…”

Huamei’er struck the hammer in her hand and cast a coquettish smile at VIP Room 7, “Congratulations to VIP Room 7. The egg of the mythical creature is yours now.”

The whole auction hall was in an uproar. People were guessing the identity of the girl in VIP Room 7. She made a bid of ten white crystals. Even the four families and the chatelain in Zhongzhou City were not that generous.

Four hefty men carried a big thing onto the podium in the middle of the auction hall.

The audience was attracted by the thing on the podium. After putting down the thing, the four hefty men just left. All the people stuck out their necks, trying to see clearly the thing. However, the thing was covered with red cloth so they couldn’t figure out what it was regardless.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Huamei’er walked to the thing with a smile, “The next auction item is…”

Huamei’er suddenly pulled off the red cloth. A big square iron cage appeared in the public.

A man was half sitting in the iron cage. As his head was lowered, his appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. Yet, his blonde hair was glistening under the light, which was rather eye-catching. The blonde hair hung before him, which looked as if the smooth silk was covering him. His two hands were chained up on both sides of the cage and the bloodstains at the wrists were rather prominent on his fair skin.

“This turns out to be a human being. I thought it was a big spiritual beast!”

“Exactly. I wonder what Myriad Treasure Pavilion is up to. If we want to buy any human being, we can go to the slave market. Why would we buy human beings at the auction?”

“You don’t know about this. Myriad Treasure Pavilion won’t auction a human randomly. Maybe it is an exceedingly beautiful person in the cage!”

“Beauty! That’ll be great…”

The person in the iron cage seemed to be woken up by the sudden noises and raised his head. The audience finally saw clearly his appearance and became slack-jawed. They were all speechless with their mouths wide open.

He was so beautiful! He had a fair-skinned and smooth face, which was coldly thin. Under his downcast eyelashes were a pair of green eyes. His green eyes were as fascinating as the green pond water. His prominent nose and exquisite lips just displayed his nobleness and elegance. And it was hard to tell his gender by his stunning face.

“This is the 29th auction item of the auction, the mysterious and beautiful male elf.”

While introducing, Huamei’er lifted the person’s blonde hair and exposed a tilted and long ear. She tried not to look into his eyes for fear that she would be lost in his fascinating green eyes as she was yesterday.

Without the concealment of the blonde long hair, the audience saw clearly his slender figure, messy collars and slightly exposed chest. The elegant demeanor and exotic flavor he displayed were enough to drive the men nuts and make the woman scream.

“He is an elf indeed. I’ve long heard that elves are all good-looking, regardless of gender. Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it is so true.”

“Nice. Nice. The elf is really pretty. What a pity…”

“What’s the pity?”

“It’s a pity that he is not a girl. I’m not gay.”

“Alas. Male or female, he cannot belong to us!”

“Well said. Given our money, how can we compete against those people in the VIP rooms on the third floor?”

“Everyone quiet down. It is time for you to start bidding for the male elf. The starting price is 50 black crystals. Start.” Right after Huamei’er finished talking, the bidders all strived to bid.

“60 black crystals.”

“70 black crystals.”

“80 black crystals.”

…

Most of the bidders were the clients in the booths on the second floor, including males and females.

Duanmu Xi squinted at the male elf. He had blonde hair and green eyes. The elves on the Hantian Continent did look like the Germanic people in her last life.

Chu Lian’er in VIP Room 2 was still immersed in the beauty of the male elf. How could there be such an exceedingly handsome man in the world? He was even a few times more handsome than her brother. She must get him at any cost.

Hua Xian’er in VIP Room 3 was stunned too. She didn’t expect that there could be a man as handsome as him in the world. Her mouth curved into a sneer.

The constant bidding made Chu Lian’er come to her senses. Without inquiring Chu Xiaoran’s opinion, she directly made a bid, “Five white crystals.”

Hearing Chu Lian’er’s voice, Feng Xifan in VIP Room 1 clenched his fists and Feng Hua also squinted his eyes.

“Five white crystals from VIP Room 2. Any more bids?”

“Six white crystals,” Hua Xian’er’s voice followed behind.

The crowd seemed to be used to the fact that Chu Lian’er and Hua Xian’er always appeared in the same scene.

“Six white crystals from VIP Room 3. Any more bids?” Huamei’er constantly noticed the noises in the auction hall and occasionally glimpsed one of the VIP rooms on the third floor.

“Seven white crystals.” Chu Lian’er’s voice contained part anger, part anxiety.

“Eight white crystals.” Hua Xian’er was rather casual.

While everyone thought this would be a seesaw battle between two women, a third voice came, “Ten white crystals.”

Who was that? It was a male voice.

“Ten white crystals from VIP Room 4. Any more bids?” Huamei’er cast a coquettish smile in the direction of VIP Room 4 on the third floor. He finally made a bid. It seemed that the rumor was not fake.

Chu Lian’er and Hua Xian’er were astonished. Neither of them expected that the young master of the Xue Family would get involved. They did forget that rumor.

“It is the young master of the Xue Family. Legend has it that he is fine-looking and talented. He has become a Mysterious Sovereign at the age of 22 but…”

“But what?”

“But I heard that he didn’t like women but men.”

“He is gay?”

“Yeah!”

…

Unexpectedly, there were homosexuals on the Hantian Continent. Duanmu Xi was eating the snacks while listening to the gossips downstairs.

Hua Xian’er sneered with derision. Since someone bid after her, she would get out of the mess then. She didn’t really mean to buy the male elf. No matter how handsome he was, he couldn’t be compared with the man in her heart.

Chu Lian’er clenched her fists in anger. How dared Xue Jinshuo snatch the man she picked? He was risking his neck, “11 white crystals.”

“11 white crystals from VIP Room 2. Any more bids?”

“12 white crystals.” Xue Jinshuo made the bid with his eyes fixed on the slightly exposed chest of the male elf in the iron cage. Xue Jinshuo stuck out his tongue to lick his lips. He was sure to get such a good-looking elf.

“12 white crystals from VIP Room 4. Any more bids?”

“13…”

“Enough.” Before Chu Lian’er bid, her voice was interrupted by Chu Xiaoran.

“Brother?”

Chu Lian’er didn’t understand why Chu Xiaoran stopped her. She directly went forward to tug at Chu Xiaoran’s arm and said like a spoiled child, “Xiaoran, he is too good-looking. I like him. I must marry him.”

Chu Xiaoran shook away Chu Lian’er’s hand, “Do you know what you are talking about? Do you forget your identity? You are the fiancee of Feng Xifan. Given what you have done today, what will the Feng Family think? How will Feng Xifan feel?”

“Feng Xifan?” Chu Lian’er was stunned. Seeing the handsome man, she forgot Feng Xifan. If she didn’t meet the handsome man, Feng Xifan might be her best choice but…

“Brother, I don’t want to marry Feng Xifan but the male elf. I must get him and make him my husband.”

Then she rushed to the window and shouted, “13 white crystals.”

Chu Xiaoran dragged Chu Lian’er over and slapped her in the face, “Would you cut it out? Marriage is no trivial thing. How can you not marry him? Don’t ever think about the elf. You can only marry him over my dead body.”

Chu Lian’er covered the slapped cheek and widened her eyes in disbelief. Her eyes were full of tears but the tears just wouldn’t roll down.

“You slapped me. Our parents never beat me. How could you slap me? You only care about your interest. Have you ever considered my feelings? Have you thought about whether I like him or not…”

Chu Xiaoran felt a bit regretful at first but upon hearing the hysterical scream of Chu Lian’er, he steeled himself, “Look at you. It seems that I’ve spoiled you too much these years. Now that our parents are gone, as your elder brother, why can’t I discipline you? Didn’t you agree to marry into the Feng Family? If you didn’t agree, how could I say yes? Now, you are talking nonsense like this.”

While they were quarreling, Huamei’er was chanting, “14 white crystals going once…”

“Gee! Oh my! It seems that the handsome guy will go to the young master of the Xue Family.”

“What’s wrong with that? He is such an exceedingly handsome man. Will the young master of the Xue Family mistreat him?”

“What do you know? I heard that the young master of the Xue Family has a propensity for violence. All the handsome men at his hands end up being abused to death,” after saying that, the man couldn’t help shuddering.

The man aside heard him out and immediately looked at the beautiful male elf in the cage with sympathy.

“14 white crystals going twice…”
