Chapter 742: Adding a Bet
The auction house in Luoyun City is not open every day.
Especially for the auction venue on the main stage, important product information is usually announced a week in advance.
But today, something happened that no one expected.
Hope Blue Diamond.
Of course, that's what humans call it.
For some aliens who have lived longer, the real name of this sapphire is Tear of the Moon Goddess.
He was filled with the pain of the birth of the Moon Goddess.
It is said that the Moon Goddess has gathered all her evil thoughts into this gem, and no matter who it is given to, it will cause great disaster.
But even so, many aliens came here just to get this gem of doom.
Not only humans have a curiosity, but also aliens.
So the starting price of this gem can be said to be the highest in the entire auction tonight.
When the host in a brocade robe announced the last auction item, the guests who were not mentally prepared stood up from their chairs.
"Tears of the Moon Goddess...?"
"Isn't that a cursed gem? Have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it. I heard that this gem was destroyed with the disappearance of the Moon Goddess."
Countless discussions echoed in the venue.
The auctioneer struck while the iron was hot and introduced the origin of the gem.
"There are many moon gods in this world, but if we're talking about a true moon god, it must be the real satellite above our heads. Before being observed by the rest of the world, the moon god cast its shadow onto this world, witnessing its ups and downs."
"But many people don't know that the Moon Goddess was not born with good intentions, but with endless rage and curses."
"According to ancient legends... the Heart of the World forcibly dragged the Moon Goddess's power towards the earth, preventing her from returning to her home. The Moon Goddess's arrival was filled with pain and sorrow."
"He gathered all this anger and sorrow together, and forged a dark blue gem with moonlight."
"That is the Tears of the Moon Goddess."
"None of us know the Moon God's name, but today, we are fortunate enough to witness a microcosm of her power."
The auctioneer suddenly raised his hand, and then a blue star streaked across the night sky and landed on the auction table. It hung in the air, emitting its light and power unreservedly to the surroundings.
When it was officially unveiled in front of everyone, the entire audience was shocked and felt sincere admiration for this ray of light and the power it contained.
"Today! Our Luoyun City Special Management Bureau... um, the five-star chef, Mr. Chu He from the Steamed Egg Office, provided us with this gem! Let us thank Chef Chu He!"
Pah pah pah——
The entire audience stood in awe and applauded the VIP room on the highest floor above their heads. People in the other rooms also raised their glasses elegantly to Chu He at the window.
Chu He held the iced cola cup and raised it tremblingly.
I have already told the auctioneer the origin of this gem according to the information Li Muhan wrote for me.
Although he knew through the realm of the fraudster that Li Muhan had indeed seen some future events through some means.
But this does not include the Tara tribe member named Xia Yue who came to deliver the gems.
In other words, only if you know the girl well enough can you make such an inference about her behavior.
"It should be said or not, this is the tacit understanding between husband and wife..." Chu He gulped down another mouthful of Coke.
"Tears of the Moon Goddess, starting price! 30 million!"
The auction officially begins.
Then, a string of astronomical figures that Chu He could not even imagine continued to be heard from various seats in the stands or boxes.
This is clearly a gem that brings bad luck, so why are these people so eager to get it...
Chu He was very curious.
"Three hundred and fifty million!"
The man in another box on the same floor as Chu He bid the highest price.
"Three hundred and fifty million at a time!" the auctioneer shouted to the audience.
"Three hundred and fifty million for the second time!!"
The man in the box was pinching his mustache proudly, and the others didn't seem to want to continue competing.
"Three hundred and fifty million..."
"Five hundred million."
puff--
Chu He spat out a mouthful of Coke.
Is this some kind of mindless, trashy, and enjoyable article?! To these people, this money is just a number?! They don't even consider paying taxes!?
Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the auction house.
The woman who had called out five hundred million was walking towards the main stage.
The man in the box was originally very angry, he didn't expect that someone would openly challenge him.
But the moment he saw the woman, the man sat back in his chair.
His face became increasingly uglier.
Because the woman who was bidding the price was none other than Shimotsuki, the president of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce.
"I know this is a bit unkind, Boss Zhu."
The woman walked up to the main stage, looked up at the man in the box, and said with a smile, "But I'm going to take this gem."
If it were someone else, Boss Zhu might not be convinced and would compete again.
But this man is Shimotsuki, the president of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce, and he knows that he cannot compete with this woman.
What's more, this woman is backed by the China Special Management Bureau.
This is such fucking bad luck.
Although he was cursing in his heart, the man still smiled awkwardly on the surface and bowed to Shimotsuki.
"Since it's the one that Guild Master Shimotsuki has chosen, I won't take it away from him. This gem is yours."
Shimotsuki smiled and exhaled a puff of light purple smoke.
Just as she was about to announce the end of the auction, the pure white artificial moonlight above her head suddenly turned blood red.
Everyone looked up in confusion, and then saw a girl with short silver hair spread her wings and slowly descended from the light of the blood moon to the main stage.
"One billion~We'll pay one billion~"
The silver-haired girl gently twirled her hair with her fingers and looked at Shimotsuki with a hint of provocation.
"...Vampire?"
Frost Moon frowned. The aura of this vampire seemed familiar to her. Unlike Elizabeth, the aura of this vampire was not that strong, as if it was mixed with some impurities.
Chu He stared blankly at the silver-haired girl who came onto the stage, feeling a little dazed.
"Strange... Although she is also a vampire, she is not the same as the vampire described by Li Muhan."
"Looking for me, sir?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Chu He. He turned around suddenly and saw a tall and beautiful girl sitting on the sofa in the private room.
She looked at Chu He with an elegant and calm smile on her face, and then made a gesture to Chu He to come over.
Chu He swallowed, but still slowly walked to the woman.
"Could you explain what you meant by that?"
After seeing Chu He sit down, the woman asked with a smile.
"I, I said...what?"
"You look so young, why do you have such a bad memory?" The woman covered her mouth and giggled, then turned to look at the boy and said.
"Then let me remind you, you just said... why that vampire was different from the one Li Muhan described to you..."
After saying this, the smile on the woman's face disappeared, and her scarlet pupils were filled with coldness and murderous intent.
"So, can you explain to me, Mr. Chu He, what you mean by this? What are you and Li Muhan up to?"
Chu He's cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He looked at the woman in front of him, feeling a fear that he was about to be torn apart.
This was by no means an illusion, but a warning given to him by the realm of the fraudster.
Be careful with this woman.
On the main stage, Xia Luer stood in front of Shuangyue.
Although the two have a big difference in body shape, the difference in body shape is even bigger.
But the vast plain is still not afraid of the towering mountains.
She puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, looked up at the tall Shuangyue and said.
"What! Can't I bid?"
"Of course, little sister, but can you really afford so much money?"
Shimotsuki said after taking a puff of cigarette with a smile.
"Hehe~ In this world, the thing our family lacks the least is probably money, but..."
"But what?"
"But, we won't pay for this."
Shimotsuki frowned slightly. "Why? Are you planning to openly steal something from the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce?"
"Tsk tsk tsk~" Xia Luer raised a finger and shook it.
"Weren't you the ones who stole it? This gem was a token of love my father gave to my mother. How did you guys steal it and auction it off here? You're really the thief crying thief! How shameless!"
There was a hint of anger on Shuangyue's face.
Although she knew that the origin of this vampire was not simple, she, Shuangyue, was not the kind of person who would remain silent even if someone stepped on her head or hit her in the face.
"Little sister, now that you've said this, I can't let you go. You'll soon learn the price anyone who disrespects the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce will pay."
"I couldn't ask for more~ Then~ President Shimotsuki..."
She leaned over to whisper in Shuangyue's ear.
"The commotion in Pingjing City last time wasn't big enough. Now, let's do it again, shall we?"
Shuangyue was stunned for a moment, and the next second the giant wings behind the girl flapped violently, and she rose from the ground.
Countless blood thorns condensed from the wings and shot towards the main stage.
"Hahahahahahaha!" The girl laughed crazily and smashed the main stage to pieces.
The whole audience started to boil instantly.
The Chamber of Commerce guards rushed to the battlefield, while other staff members began to evacuate the guests.
At the same time, someone also notified the Luoyun City Special Management Bureau. This is the confidence gained from having the support of the Special Management Bureau.
But these confidences are meaningless in the face of Xia Luer's madness.
A giant snake leaped up from the smoke and dust and bit Xia Luer in mid-air.
"Interesting! Interesting!! Come on!!!" Xia Luer held a blood-red sword in each hand, flapped her wings and rushed towards the giant snake and the Chamber of Commerce guards.
Amidst the chaos, soothing music was still playing in the well-soundproofed private room.
Xia Grace's eyes completely broke Chu He.
He swallowed and said, "...Li, Li Muhan told me...you, you will definitely find me."
"Where's the Tears of the Moon Goddess? Why do you have them in your hand? Is that your purpose to lure me here?"
"...Yes, that was Li Muhan's goal, not mine. He knew that the vampire named Xia Yue would find me through some clues and give me this gem. Of course, he himself may have forgotten these plans, but..."
"Interesting. Keeping everyone in the dark? Is this his big gamble?"
Xia Grace no longer had the same attitude as before. She sat on the sofa, and outside the window she saw the battle between Xia Luer and the giant snake.
But she didn't seem worried at all.
Just looking at the boy in front of him.
"Then tell me, what does Li Muhan want to do?"
"...Li Muhan wants to tell you that the husband you have been looking for is in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons."
There was a hint of viciousness in Xia Grace's eyes.
"Really? So he hid there. Then what? Now Li Muhan has cut off the connection with the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, and no one can go to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace."
"No... The Tears of the Moon Goddess can allow you to enter the Hall of Demons."
"Oh?" Xia Grace raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Chu He: "Why?"
"...Li Muhan's memories were staked on the table by my Trickster Realm. The Tear of the Moon Goddess can be said to be his additional bet. I can link some of Li Muhan's memories with the Tear of the Moon Goddess, and these memories happen to be the key to the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons."
"You can really do such a thing? How interesting... You also have the aura of the Tara tribe, but you are just a human."
"Ah, about this, because my assistant happens to be a Tara, and I took him home."
Chu He scratched his head awkwardly.
"I roughly understand what Li Muhan wants to do, but he can't do it alone. Someone is helping him... No, or rather, there is some kind of power watching him."
Xia Grace could almost guess who it was.
Those eyes from a higher dimension, those eyes that had been observing them as characters in a story.
It actually broke its own principles because of Li Muhan... How interesting.
......
In the endless river of time, Yuan was reprimanded by his master because of his words.
You own more than just the world
That reminder allowed Li Muhan to tear through space and avoid the demon's thunder spear.
But it also indirectly breaks the laws of space.
The Trinity Law, the Law of Space, and the myriad laws of the universe should not interfere with each other.
Those eyes stared at Yuan, and Yuan could only shrug helplessly.
"Because Li Muhan is very interesting. His life is very interesting. I want to read more about him."
[This is not something we should interfere with, we are just witnesses, we are just watching a story]
"The ending of the story is not perfect, can't we change it ourselves?"
[It's possible, but there is no benefit and no meaning]
"You've been watching Li Muhan your whole life. Do you still want to deny that you're interested in him?"
[...Don't overstep your bounds]
"Yes, I admit my mistake, Master, but this story is not over yet. Let's continue watching, okay?"
