The auction started uneventfully, and soon the first item was put on the table.

It was a piece of jade, white in color, with light yellow lines.

Xiao Ling just glanced at him and then looked away. He raised his eyes to look at Chu Yi with a look of dissatisfaction.

"This kind of jade ornaments are so common. I don't know how many I've seen. No matter how precious it is, it's just a piece of stone."

"Don't be impatient. This is just the beginning. There will definitely be some ordinary collections that are not pleasing to the eye."

Unlike Xiao Ling's depressed mood, Chu Yi was completely immersed in the joy of having the beauty in his arms.

Listening to the light and leisurely piano music and hugging the little empress's soft waist, it seems particularly comfortable.

Xiao Ling didn't agree, but since she was already there, she just waited patiently for the next auction item.

The following items were mainly rare treasures. Although most of them were indeed very rare, they could not attract Xiao Ling's attention at all.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to leave with Chu Yi with a feeling of loss, a sudden sound from the auction house aroused her curiosity.

She looked over out of curiosity and was surprised to find that the item being auctioned this time was a cat.

Yes, it is indeed a very cute cat. Cats are very rare animals, at least in Da'an Country.

The reason why they are rare is that cats are animals unique to the Western Xia Kingdom, and are generally the exclusive pets of the Western Xia royal family and have never been circulated.

"Is this the four-legged beast unique to Xixia?"

Xiao Ling, who had no resistance to cuteness, was unexpectedly interested and couldn't help but straighten his body and look over.

The fact that this cat can appear in Tianxia Commercial Bank means that it will definitely have no worries about finding an owner.

But what made Xiao Ling feel even more surprised was that the fur of this civet cat was light blue and it had a pair of purple pupils.

"I'm sure you've all seen it. This is a blue civet cat from the Western Xia Kingdom!"

At the auction, the old man holding the cat cage loudly introduced it.

"Of course, if it were just an ordinary civet cat, it would naturally not be of interest to Tianxia Trading Company. The reason why it can appear at our auction this time is because of its special reason——"

The old man's powerful voice continued to echo in the venue, arousing the curiosity of the onlookers.

"Why? Your Majesty is very interested in this raccoon cat?"

Chu Yi was not surprised to see the little empress listening attentively.

"Yes, this cat is indeed very pretty." Xiao Ling stared at the weak light blue figure in the cage.

"Xixia civet cats rarely appear in other countries. The Tianxia Trading Company must have put a lot of thought into it being auctioned this time. If it's not too expensive, why not buy it?"

In response, Chu Yi smiled and then held the empress's hands in front of him.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you later."

At this time, the old man at the auction house started to introduce again:

"This blue civet cat was born on the same day and year as the youngest princess of the current Xixia Emperor Qingyuan. Because of its unique light blue fur, it was particularly loved by the Xixia Emperor and was given to the princess as a companion."

"Because the Xixia Kingdom had a bumper harvest that year after Emperor Qingyuan's little princess was born, the Emperor was overjoyed, and the Xixia people regarded this civet cat as a gift from heaven. Unfortunately, the cat didn't seem to want to stay with the Xixia royal family. It disappeared just after the little princess turned one year old, and was thus accidentally acquired by the Tianxia Trading Company."

Having said that, the old man held up the cage, revealing a blue jade pendant under the civet cat's neck.

"The ice dragon jade pendant worn by this cat is crafted from the ice jade of the Xixia dragon vein. It has been passed down from generation to generation by Xixia ancestors. It represents the destiny of the Xixia nation and is priceless!"

"Thus, this cat may not be expensive, but the national destiny and the fortune of the people of Xixia that it represents cannot be ignored. This piece of jade alone is worth half a million!"

"The starting price for this cat is 550,000!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

It’s not that the ice dragon jade pendant on this cat is not valuable, nor that this blue civet cat is not rare, but that they have some doubts about the statement of Tianxia Trading Company.

It is said that this raccoon represents the destiny of the Western Xia Kingdom, but the Western Xia Kingdom is isolated from the outside world, so who knows whether it is true or not?

Moreover, if it is really true, how could such a unique blue courtesy be obtained by Tianxia Trading Company?

"Isn't this a scoundrel?"

When Xiao Ling heard this number, his face suddenly turned angry.

"Although this cat is indeed adorable, it's unlikely that anyone would pay such a high price to buy it at auction, right? According to me, even if what this old man said is true, this cat is only worth 100,000. How great can the fortune of a mere Xixia nation be?"

The second half of the sentence was said after turning around and facing Chu Yi.

"I think it's quite reasonable."

Chu Yi had different ideas. He placed his hands on the little empress's shoulders and slowly moved them down, feeling her soft skin from her collar.

"Tianxia Commercial Bank's reputation guarantees these words, so they must be true. Therefore, the jade on that cat must be worth a very high price. And the unique blue fur of this civet cat must also be one-of-a-kind, making it a priceless treasure even in Xixia..."

"If that's the case, why don't they sell them separately?" Xiao Ling was very unhappy.

To her, she just wanted a cat.

She would have wanted the cat even if its fur wasn't blue.

Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh. "Your Majesty, you must understand that if the cat and the jade are separated, the so-called solution to Xixia's destiny will disappear. Therefore, only by keeping the cat and the jade together can we obtain this great benefit."
