"This flower is temporarily named Winter Solstice. There is only one of it. It will be auctioned with no reserve price, and the highest bidder will win."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience.
"This piece of junk is the last one?"
"This is a complete waste of my time."
"You claim it's a miraculous medicine, but its specific effects are unclear. What if it's poisonous?"
The auctioneer on stage simply said casually, "The chairman said that this flower will be obtained by someone destined to have it."
The crowd looked disdainful, but a few voices held a different opinion:
"Fine, then. This old man Hua is pleasing to the eye. I'll buy him for 500 spirit stones and take him home to my eighth concubine."
"You can take a break now, Wang Laoliu. His eighth concubine? Isn't that the young widow from the Liu family? I'll take the 600 coins and give them to Xiao Cui at Chunmanlou."
Dongfang Mian examined the flower closely. It showed no signs of spiritual energy and seemed like something she had just picked from the roadside to scam money from.
But Yan Lin, who was standing next to her, had a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He hadn't expected that such a small place would have such a divine object.
"I want this," Yan Lin calmly gave the order to Dongfang Mian.
Upon receiving the order from the big boss, Dongfang Mian, who was at a loss for what to do because Yan Lin was angry with her these past two days, immediately carried it out: "I'll offer 1,000 spirit stones."
"Young lady, are you buying these flowers for yourself or to give to this pretty boy next to you? Hahahaha," a few roughnecks in the back row teased.
At this moment, Baili Tian, who had overheard Yan Lin's words, immediately stood up and said arrogantly, "I'll offer ten thousand spirit stones."
"Ten thousand spirit stones for a flower? Are you out of your mind?" Dongfang Mian said.
"I'm willing to do this, for I only wish to make my senior brother smile," Baili Tian said to Yan Lin.
The people in the venue then remembered the melodramatic love triangle involving the Baili family's little princess that had been circulating in the streets these past few days, and they never expected to see the sequel here.
“If you say that, your senior brother probably won’t smile at you anymore,” Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
"I'll offer one hundred million!"
Dongfang Mian said, slowly and deliberately, "I'm afraid your senior brother will only be able to smile at me for the rest of his life."
Wow! Buying a flower for 100 million? This is probably the most unbelievable event in Luo Qing Dynasty this year.
The auctioneer on stage almost wanted to pounce on Dongfang Mian and give her a few big kisses. Originally, the owner of this flower meant to sell it for whatever price he could get, in case he could fool a fool. But he didn't expect that there are fools every year, but today there was only one, and a particularly wealthy one at that.
Baili Tian felt a mouthful of blood welling up, but she forced it back down.
"What, you don't believe I have money? I'll show you." Dongfang Mian raised an eyebrow.
The old man, who had made a complete fool of himself at the auction, could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and stormed off with Baili Xuan and his sister.
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off," Dongfang Mian waved his hand magnanimously.
As the group left, cheers erupted from the crowd.
Even the three people who had just left the auction house heard it all clearly.
"Elder," Baili Xuan said.
"Don't worry, anyone who offends the Baili family will not have a good ending. Don't make a move in the city, wait until they leave the city."
Baili Xuan and Baili Tian couldn't help but let out cold laughs as they thought about the tragic fate that Dongfang Mian was about to face.
After the auction, Dongfang Mian went backstage to settle the bill. The auctioneer thoughtfully presented them with a gold VIP card and quietly reminded them that the Baili family would not let the matter rest.
"Don't worry, I'll take on any member of the Baili family who comes, one by one, or even two at once."
"Meow~", Aju raised both paws in agreement.
Suddenly, Dongfang Mian's image in the auctioneer's mind became even more impressive.
