Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and stared at the old man in black with cold purple eyes.

As Duanmu Xi looked disgruntled, the old man in black immediately explained, “This is our young master.”

The young man finally recovered from astonishment and realized his ill manner. Hence, he hastened to apologize to Duanmu Xi with clasped hands.

“I’m Feng Xifan. I’m sorry for offending you just now. Please forgive me.”

He was not a concupiscent man. It was just that the woman was too beautiful.

Was the man the young master of the Feng Family?

Seeing that Duanmu Xi looked less disgruntled, Feng Xifan took out a VIP card.

“You are an honorable lady. This is the VIP card of Myriad Treasure Pavilion. Please take it.”

VIP card?

She didn’t expect that she could get it so easily. The VIP card could allow her and Phoenix Five to have a booth. It was quite nice indeed.

Duanmu Xi took the VIP card and directly threw it into her storage ring.

Seeing Duanmu Xi accepted the VIP card, Feng Xifan was finally relieved with a sigh.

“You two go to the entrance and then somebody will usher you to the VIP room on the third floor.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and brought Phoenix Five out of Treasure Evaluation Room.

A maid was waiting at the door. It was still the maid who ushered them here.

The maid was slightly dazed to see them.

She didn’t expect that the honorable clients mentioned by the young master meant them. Who on earth were they? They just got the VIP card with ease.

Confused as she was, the maid still put on a sweet smile.

“Ladies, please come with me.”

The maid ushered Duanmu Xi and Phoenix Five to the VIP Room 7 on the third floor of Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

“Ladies, please wait for a moment. The auction will begin soon.”

The maid poured some tea for Duanmu Xi and Phoenix Five before leaving respectfully.

Duanmu Xi looked around the room and nodded inwardly.

The room was quite nice. It was not luxurious but tastefully furnished.

There were two paintings on the wall. Various fruits and snacks were placed on the round table in the middle. On the opposite of the door was a window. With the window opened, one could get a full view of the auction hall downstairs.

If the window was closed, the noises downstairs would be shunned. The sound-proofing effect of the room was surprisingly nice. The VIP room was not bad indeed.

In VIP Room 1 on the third floor, Feng Xifan seemed to still be immersed in the unmatchable beauty of Duanmu Xi.

“Fan.”

A middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Feng Xifan waved his hand before Feng Xifan.

“Father.”

Feng Xifan finally came to his senses.

The middle-aged man was Feng Hua, the owner of Myriad Treasure Pavilion as well as the master of the Feng Family.

“Fan, what’s wrong? Why were you spaced out? I’ve called you several times and you just didn’t respond.”

“Nothing.” Feng Xifan shook his head, afraid that his mind would be found out.

Feng Hua took a look at his son suspiciously, “As to today’s auction, have Chu Xiaoran and the masters of the three other families arrived?”

Speaking of the business, Feng Xifan immediately became stern.

“Yes, they have. They are seated as before.”

…

As a bell rang, the auction officially started.

A gorgeous woman was standing on the round podium in the middle of the auction hall.

“I’m Huamei’er. Welcome to attend the auction of Myriad Treasure Pavilion.”

Huamei’er bowed to the crowd with a smile.

“I know you are here for the treasures of Myriad Treasure Pavilion, so, without further ado, let’s start bidding for the first item.”

Huamei’er clapped her hands. Instantly, a beautiful maid, carrying a tray, walked on the podium from sideways.

The tray was covered with a piece of red cloth. People just couldn’t see through what was on the tray.

The beautiful maid put the tray on the long table before Huamei’er and then left.

“This is the first auction item, Purple Yarn Precious Garment.”

Huamei’er pulled the red cloth from the tray. A garment that glistened with purple light just showed itself in front of all.

Huamei’er unfolded the Purple Yarn Precious Garment so that everyone could see it clearly.

The garment was very pretty. It was a purple dress with its cuffs embroidered with exquisite golden butterflies and its collars adorned with several layers of nylon lace. The dress’s hemline was covered with a thin layer of gauze and the waist was decorated with a golden belt. The garment was simple and elegant with an extravagant air.

“This is not an ordinary garment but a defensive magic weapon. It is a three-level precious instrument. The starting price is 30 blue crystals. Here it goes.”

“35 blue crystals.”

“50 blue crystals.”

“60 blue crystals.”

The auction was quite fierce from the beginning. A bidding war was on.

The women all wanted to get it so that they could wear it while the men wanted to get it for their wives or sisters.

In VIP Room 2 on the third floor, a girl in green was holding the young man’s arm and said like a spoiled kid, “Brother, I want that garment.”

The young man tapped the nose of the girl in green.

“Okay. Okay. I just can’t say no to you. If the price is not too high, I’ll buy it for you.”

“Thank you, Brother.”

Having acquired the approval of the young man, the girl in green directly came to the window. The bidding price was two purple crystals now.

“Ten purple crystals.” The girl in green increased the price by five times.

The girl in green was Chu Lian’er and the young man was her brother, Chu Xiaoran. He was the chatelain of Zhongzhou City.

The bidders downstairs heard the price was offered from someone in the VIP room on the third floor and all gave up bidding.

They all knew that the VIP rooms on the third floor of Myriad Treasure Pavilion were taken by the powerful people only. How could they have enough money to compete with the four big families and the chatelain?

“Ten purple crystals from VIP Room 2. Any more bids?”

Huamei’er looked up at the VIP rooms on the third floor, except that she was not looking at VIP Room 2 but VIP Room 3.

Not hearing any more bids, Chu Lian’er felt quite complacent but shortly, a coquettish voice came from the window next door.

“20 purple crystals.”

Chu Lian’er got so angry. It was Hua Xian’er again. Hua Xian’er always set against her. How outrageous!

“20 purple crystals from VIP Room 3. Any more bids?”

This time, Huamei’er looked at VIP Room 2.

Everyone knew that Chu Lian’er and Hua Xian’er, the young master of the Hua Family were sworn foes. They just competed for everything. Whenever they met each other, they would always argue.

“20 purple crystals going once.”

“30 purple crystals.”

Chu Lian’er said through gnashed teeth.

“40 purple crystals.”

Her voice was still so coquettish.

“50.”

Chu Lian’er felt it was too expensive.

Good as Purple Yarn Precious Garment was, it was not worth 50 purple crystals. Without the d*mned Hua Xian’er, she could have bought it with ten purple crystals.

Finally, Hua Xian’er didn’t bid anymore.

“50 purple crystals going once.”

As Hua Xian’er didn’t bid anymore, Huamei’er knew that Purple Yarn Precious Garment must belong to Chu Lian’er then.

“50 purple crystals going twice.”

“50 purple crystals. Sold.”

Huamei’er struck the hammer on the long table.

“Congratulations to the client in VIP Room 2. The Purple Yarn Precious Garment is yours now.”

Huamei’er made eyes at the audience.

“Those who failed to get the treasure don’t have to be disappointed. We have a lot of treasures following.”

After saying that, she clapped her hands. A maid walked forward with a tray, which was still covered with red cloth.

Huamei’er lifted the red cloth and a piece of parchment was placed on the tray.

Seeing the parchment, everyone was thrilled.

“What is that?”

“Is it a treasure map?”

…

“Everyone, please be quiet. This is not a treasure map but the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill, a yellow-grade nine-level elixir. Just as its name implies, Beauty Locking Pill can make one stay young forever and never age. The starting price is 50 purple crystals. Here we go.”

However, there was no bidding after Huamei’er said that.

Many women always dreamed of staying young and never aging. However, the auction item was not a Beauty Locking Pill but the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill.

There were too few refining pharmacists on the Hantian Continent. Common people might not be able to meet a refining pharmacist all their life. What was the point of buying the prescription?

If the auction item was a Beauty Locking Pill, maybe some women would bid for it at all costs.

No one bid for the item. Chu Lian’er was itchy to bid for it.

Common people couldn’t meet the refining pharmacist but she could. There were refining pharmacists in Shengjin Academy. Putting aside whether the refining pharmacists would make the pills for her, she should get the prescription first.

Every girl wanted to stay young forever.

“50 purple crystals.”

Huamei’er was relieved to hear the bid and immediately gave a sweet smile.

“50 purple crystals from VIP Room 2.”

“The starting price is 50 purple crystals. How can you have the cheek to make the offer? If you are too poor, just don’t bid. Otherwise, you will only embarrass yourself.”

Hua Xian’er’s voice was even sweeter than Huamei’er’s, which was so tempting.

“60 purple crystals.”

“60 purple crystals from VIP Room 3.”

Chu Lian’er was so furious in VIP Room 2. Curses on Hua Xian’er!

“70.”

“70 purple crystals from VIP Room 2.”

“80.”

“80 purple crystals from VIP Room 3.”

“90…”

“Lian’er, stop it.”

Chu Lian’er was interrupted by Chu Xiaoran before she made another bid.

“Brother…” Chu Lian’er kept stamping her feet with a pout.

“Lian’er, we are not refining pharmacists. The prescription is of no use to us. You’ve spent more crystals on the purple garment than its worth. Why don’t you let her have the prescription this time? If there is any Beauty Locking Pill to be auctioned, I will surely get it for you.”

The prescription was worthless for them. It was not worthwhile for them to spend so many purple crystals.

“Okay. You must keep your words.”

Chu Lian’er was reluctant to let go but she knew that Chu Xiaoran had got the point.

“Lian’er, since when didn’t I keep my words?”

Chu Xiaoran pinched the face of Chu Lian’er affectionately.

Chu Xiaoran loved his only sister very much.

Since Chu Lian’er didn’t make another bid, Huamei’er figured that the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill must belong to Hua Xian’er.

“80 purple crystals going once.”

“80 purple crystals going twice.”

“80 purple…” Huamei’er lifted the hammer and meant to strike it.

“A black crystal.”

A cold female voice came from VIP Room 7.

The man in red in VIP Room 6 heard the female voice next door and narrowed his phoenix eyes. He found the cold voice quite familiar.
