Chapter 172 I Like It When You're Jealous of Me
Outside the exceptionally grand and luxurious Treasure Pavilion, there were dedicated staff members responsible for receiving guests; today's customer traffic was significantly higher than usual.
Yet it continues in an orderly manner.
Si Hanye casually handed out the invitation.
"Distinguished guests, please come in!" The staff member carefully checked the invitations and then gestured for them to enter.
The two men wore black robes and silver masks.
Led by staff, they proceeded to the auction venue.
Along the way, Tong Guang noticed that many people were dressed the same way as them.
The VIP rooms were fully booked two weeks in advance.
She didn't care at all; the two of them held hands and leisurely found their place.
The auction hall, larger than an arena, was packed to capacity, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Beams of bright light shone directly onto the central exhibition stand, making the surrounding area appear somewhat dim.
A female staff member, dressed in a red, form-fitting long dress, walked gracefully towards them.
Upon her arrival, she did not rush to speak, but instead walked around the booth at a leisurely pace.
Her graceful figure was perfectly showcased in the tight-fitting long dress, and every step she took seemed to touch people's hearts.
She would occasionally throw a flirtatious wink and blow a kiss, instantly causing quite a stir in the audience. Many men in the audience stared intently, their eyes fixed on her.
Tong Guang raised her delicate eyebrows slightly. As expected of a beautiful snake demon with nearly five hundred years of cultivation! Truly remarkable.
With just her beautiful face and a few words, she could easily make men willingly empty their pockets, just to win a smile from her.
Ha, Baibaoge really knows how to capture people's hearts...
With a snort, I thought, "Is this still an auction? Is it to display the collection or to flaunt my figure?"
Somewhat annoyed, she turned her head and saw the man's gaze fixed on her.
Beneath the silver and gold-painted mask, the man's dark eyes were deep and clear, reflecting subtle light and shadow.
His rosy lips curved slightly, revealing a captivating smile. He seemed to maintain this pose the entire time, without changing his expression.
Tong Guang's breath hitched slightly, and the inexplicable arrogance in his heart vanished instantly.
She thought...
Si Hanye leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My darling was upset just now."
Biting her lip lightly, Tong Guang also lowered her voice. "I... I didn't?"
The man's deep, magnetic voice, tinged with amusement, rang in her ears again, "But I could feel it."
"Let me guess why?"
"Hmm... Tong Guang thinks I was looking at other women just now, doesn't he?"
The man's low voice, enhanced by his flirtatious tone, made her cheeks flush, and she whispered sweetly in her ear.
"Oh~ baby's jealous, doesn't want me to see other people, right?"
His deep, magnetic voice held a hint of delighted laughter.
Warm breath brushed against her neck, stimulating a subtle itch.
Suddenly, Tong Guang's pretty face turned red, feeling embarrassed as if her thoughts had been exposed.
She gave a soft, coquettish hum, about to retort.
Then the man's deep, husky voice rang out again, "My darling is jealous of me, I'm so happy, so blissful~"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the opportunity to lightly kiss the girl's slightly red earlobe.
His voice, deep and husky with a hint of wickedness, trailed off, "Baby, only you can make my body and soul react... no one else can."
The girl's cheeks suddenly felt hot, and her heart trembled.
"Nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Meanwhile, the slender female staff member walked around the area once before stopping and facing the crowd.
"Distinguished guests, a warm welcome to our Treasure Pavilion! I am the auctioneer for this auction—Hong Sha. I will now provide a detailed introduction to all the items in this auction. I sincerely wish every guest here success in bidding for their desired treasures. Alright, without further ado, let's begin the first auction of the day!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the display stand slowly rose, and the first item appeared in the transparent glass display window.
A dark green short blade that emits a faint glow.
Hong Sha smiled slightly and continued her introduction: "This treasure is a high-grade spiritual weapon—the Venomous Blade—meticulously crafted by our Hundred Treasures Pavilion's top-level blacksmiths. This blade is incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud."
"What's astonishing is that it contains an extremely potent poisonous aura. In battle, even the slightest contact with an enemy will instantly corrode them with this terrifying poison. The poisoned will not only suffer excruciating physical pain, but their consciousness will also fall into chaos for a short period, leaving them completely vulnerable. Possessing such a peerless weapon will undoubtedly be an invincible asset in your adventures in the martial world!"
"Distinguished guests, if you have any requests, please do not hesitate or be stingy! Just how important is a weapon that suits your needs? I don't need to elaborate, especially in a life-or-death duel, it can even be the key factor in determining victory or defeat! The starting bid for this blade is 1500 million gold coins, and each bid must be at least 10 gold coins higher. Let's begin!"
Wearing a vibrant red dress, Hong Sha stood gracefully on the auction stage, gently waving an exquisite feather fan in her hand. With a charming smile, her few words ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd below.
"1,520."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone eagerly shouted out the price.
"1550 million!"
More people joined the bidding.
"1580 million!"
"1600 million!"
The atmosphere grew increasingly heated, with bids echoing throughout the auction hall.
Tong Guang glanced indifferently at the venomous blade. It was indeed of superior quality, but it was of no use to her.
"5,000"
A clear, magnetic voice slowly rang out, not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
For a moment, the once noisy auction hall fell into a brief silence.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, wanting to see who was so wealthy and powerful that they had suddenly raised the price so much.
Tong Guang looked at the man beside him with some surprise, not understanding why he would suddenly bid.
Si Hanye rested his chin on one hand, gazing at her with a relaxed and leisurely air.
He blinked his pink eyes. Did he like that sharp blade?
Tong Guang's red lips twitched slightly, but she swallowed back the words she wanted to ask. That's right, who says you have to buy something only if it suits you? You can buy it if you like it.
Once the price was announced, no one else followed suit.
While the Mad Venom Blade is good, it's definitely worth more than 50 million.
The woman in red chuckled, "5000 million once, 5,000 million twice, 5,000 million three times. Sold! Congratulations to VIP number 14 for winning the Mad Venom Blade!"
With the hammer falling heavily, the auction item finally found its home.
Every single item that was subsequently displayed for auction, regardless of its nature, was snapped up by buyer number 14.
Everyone was stunned and turned their attention to seat number 14. Why wasn't such a wealthy person in the VIP room?
Even worse, some people looked at No. 14 with resentment, because the collectibles they had their eyes on were all bought by the other party at prices far exceeding the market value.
This person is here to cause trouble!
I don't understand the world of the rich.
Tong Guang couldn't hold back any longer and whispered in the man's ear, "You like all those things?"
Si Hanye raised an eyebrow slightly, and as if it weren't intentional, he turned his body to the side, his cheek brushing against the girl's rosy lips.
Lifting a touch of silky smoothness...
Tong Guang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly tried to dodge, but then he heard the man's low, magnetic voice, slightly amused.
"Baby, I want to kiss you here..."
