There was only one long sofa in the entire room, and on the coffee table in front of the sofa was an exquisite teapot, several small teacups, and some fruit cakes that looked very soft.

"Can I eat it?" Shen Sui asked.

Shen Xinglan nodded and picked up the remote control that seemed to be placed casually on the sofa.

Shen Sui sat on the sofa, picked up the fruit cake, and started to chew it happily. It was just as she thought, sweet and sour, and really appetizing.

Chen Sui picked up another piece of fruit cake with a look of unsatisfied interest.

Shen Xinglan picked up the remote control and sat down next to Shen Sui. He lowered his head and fiddled with the remote control. Shen Sui ate while watching Shen Xinglan fiddling with the remote control with many complicated buttons.

"Basically, it's a price increase. Each button represents the amount of price increase," Shen Xinglan said without looking up. "Also, the green button means participating in the auction, and the red button means giving up the auction."

Chen Sui bit the fruit cake and fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xinglan saw that she didn't say anything, so he looked up at her, but he didn't expect to meet Shen Sui's complicated eyes.

Chen Sui swallowed the fruit cake in two or three bites, then said solemnly: "You rich people really know how to have fun."

Shen Xinglan: "..."

At this moment, a melodious bell rang out from the venue of the Tianxialou Auction House.

The auction has begun.

"Welcome everyone to our Tianxialou Auction House," a strikingly beautiful woman walked onto the stage. She bowed to the audience and the high-ranking officials looking down upon her. "Today's auction is about to begin."

"Oh yes, another serving of fruit cake, oh no, double."

Chen Sui said to Bai Lu and Bai Xi at the door with a smile. Shen Xinglan looked helplessly at Chen Sui, who had returned contentedly with two more fruit cakes. "Why, did you come to the auction just to eat the fruit cakes here?"

Chen Sui picked up a piece of fruit cake and waved it in front of Shen Xinglan: "Would you like to eat it?"

"eat."

Shen Xinglan felt that one of his few strengths was that he was very decisive.

Shen Sui: “Hehe.”

"Dear guests, please take a look at our first auction item today—"

At this time, two men in black pushed a small cart onto the stage. After the cart stopped, the red cloth on the cart was lifted by the beautiful woman.

In the transparent glass, a blood-red and extremely translucent strange stone lay there quietly.

"This is an old creation of Master Kunning, a famous weapon refiner in our three realms. It is the Dragon Blood Essence Stone. Although it is an old creation, its defensive ability is still stronger than many defensive magic weapons on the market." The beautiful woman introduced with a smile.

Chen Sui always felt that the name Kun Ning sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was. When he saw Shen Xinglan yawning with a bored look out of the corner of his eye, Chen Sui suddenly remembered where he had heard the name Kun Ning.

The white hairband that Shen Xinglan gave her.

Although her hair was now tied up safely, the memories she recalled now came back in Shen Sui's mind like a tide. Ning Ruoxian System said that the white hairband Shen Xinglan gave her was the masterpiece of Kun Ning.

"Starting price: 10 million high-grade spirit stones."

Shen Sui made a snapping sound and crushed the teacup in his hand expressionlessly.

Shen Xinglan, who had already begun to doze off, heard the noise and lazily raised his eyes. He was startled by the scene and hurriedly picked up the broken pieces of the teacup that had been crushed by Shen Sui: "How could you be so careless?"

Ten million high-quality spirit stones.

It is still one of Kunning's old works.

Chen Sui opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Shen Xinglan followed her gaze and saw the dragon blood stone. He frowned: "You like that? That's just a defective one. I'll get you a good one later."

Shen Sui was already numb: "Thank you."

Then Shen Sui suddenly thought of something. She anxiously grabbed Shen Xinglan with her tea-soaked hands and said, "How about I propose to you now? Is it too late?"

Shen Xinglan: “?”

Chen Sui's eyes turned red. Forget about cherishing your life. Whoever wants to cherish it can do so. You only have one life, but enormous wealth is right in front of you!

Shen Xinglan: "...I think you need to calm down now."

Shen Sui took a deep breath.

But before she could calm down, she heard the bidding sounds coming from the Tianxialou auction house.

"Distinguished guest number three, bid twelve million."

"Guest No. 14, bid 15 million."

"Distinguished guest number five, offer 20 million."

"Distinguished guest number seventeen, bid twenty-five million."

"Distinguished guest number 14, bid 40 million."

“…”

Just as the gorgeous woman announced with a smile that the Dragon Blood Essence Stone was bought by distinguished guest No. 14 for 40 million high-grade spirit stones, Chen Sui had already knelt on one knee, looking lovingly at Shen Xinglan who was sitting on the sofa.

"Tell me, my dear, when will we hold the Taoist couple ceremony? I've even thought of names for our two children."

Shen Xinglan: "...What's the name?"

Shen Sui said without hesitation: "Shen Qian."

Shen Xinglan: “???”

Sinking money…saving money.

"After all, the child is definitely younger than us. Letting the child save some money is a very good educational concept. We can't let him suffer in any way, right?" Chen Sui spoke without blinking.

Shen Xinglan: "..."

Shen Xinglan said numbly, "Suimei, why don't we just... just calm down for a while."

Chen Sui was so calm that he wanted to run around the Tianxialou auction house twenty times. Damn, 40 million high-grade spirit stones, and at this price, the white headband on her head would most likely double in value or more.

Rich people are really hateful. They actually use this method to seduce her.

"Next, it's the second item of today's auction - Black Gold True Iron."

A new small cart was pushed up, and the gorgeous woman continued to peel off the red cloth with a smile. This time, there was no glass blocking it, and the appearance of the black gold and true iron was fully revealed.

Chen Sui pressed tightly against the French window, looking at the huge piece of black gold iron, which might as well be simply called gold.

"Mysterious Gold Iron, starting price: 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

As soon as the beautiful woman finished speaking, many people began to raise the price.

"Distinguished guest number one, bid 110,000."

"Guest No. 15, bid 120,000."

"Distinguished guest number 14, bid 150,000."

"Guest number 11, bid 160,000."

"Guest number 14, bid 300,000."

“…”

"Congratulations to guest number fourteen for winning this piece of black gold iron at a high price of three hundred thousand!"

Shen Sui tutted, then turned to look at Shen Xinglan: "I've noticed you all have a big common problem."

"What?" Shen Xinglan tilted his head, his tone full of confusion.

Chen Sui said word by word: "Rich people are stupid."

Shen Xinglan: "..."
