Chapter 204: Liushang
Chapter 204: Flowing Wine
The auction went on as usual, but because of Shi Xin, the envoy from Tianmen Territory, the atmosphere became extremely tense, and even the bidding became restrained.
Shi Yan frowned and said, "Sister, I asked you to come here to help me, not to ruin my show! Can't you just be quiet and follow my script for so long?"
It turned out that Shi Yan and Shi Xin had sat down and agreed to let her come here to buy a mirage at a high price. Since the Tianmen Domain envoy bought it at a high price, can others lower the price? The answer is no. If it does not include a high price, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the Tianmen Domain envoy? But at the same time, the price cannot be too high. If it is lower than her price, it is also disrespectful. The matter of bidding is still a bit exquisite. It can’t be too high or too low, just moderate. Shi Yan’s purpose is to earn the difference in price.
Shi Xin saw Shi Yan's expression in the distance and knew what he was thinking. She showed a sly smile on her face, "I just want to make you anxious for a while, and make you so independent. I can't find the feeling of being a sister."
At the same time, she sighed, held her chin with both hands, and murmured, "She was cute and sensible when she was little. No matter how powerful she was outside, she would still come to her sister and act like a spoiled child. Now that she has grown up, she is really not cute at all."
She shook her head, and couldn't help but smile when she thought of how she was so powerful outside when she was a child, but in front of her, she was like a little lamb or a little white rabbit, allowing herself to be kneaded and manipulated.
If Shi Yan knew what Shi Xin was thinking at this moment, he would probably even want to bang his head against the wall.
This situation lasted for an hour. Because of Shi Xin, the progress of the auction was much slower than yesterday. After an hour, only two stones were auctioned. The auction price was only slightly higher than yesterday. Fifty-two third-grade spirit stones, an average of more than 100, the result was better than yesterday. But Shi Yan, who had seen the madness of yesterday, was already used to it, and even felt that today's results were a little low. But he had grievances and couldn't complain to his fellow villagers. Who asked Shi Xin to come? Was this considered shooting himself in the foot? Shi Yan felt that it was absolutely true, and the stone was a hole after being hit.
At this time, the speed of the third auction started to slow down when it was around fifty third-grade spirit stones, and it stagnated when it reached fifty-two spirit stones. The host, Lin Qingzhi, called out several times but no one bid. Lin Qingzhi sighed in his heart, thinking that this spirit stone could only be sold at this price.
Compared to yesterday, the mirage was more widespread today, so more people participated in the auction, and the competition should have been more intense. However, the reality was cruel, and the three auctions were dull, with no heated bidding and only mediocre bidding.
“Then this mirage will belong to…” Lin Qingzhi was about to announce the ownership of this mirage when suddenly a pleasant voice came, “I will offer a fourth-grade spirit stone!”
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
What shocked me was not the price of this fourth-grade spirit stone, but the person who made the bid.
Originally, I thought that the envoy from Tianmen Territory was just out for a trip and stopped to admire the scenery when passing by. Who would have thought that she also came here for this mirage!
Some people had only heard of it today and did not know the true situation of the mirage, but when they saw the current scene, they immediately guessed that the mirage crystal was an extremely precious thing, otherwise why would even the envoy from the Tianmen Domain in the center of the Xuanlong Realm be tempted by it?
As the center of the entire Xuanlong Realm, Tianmen Territory is rich in resources. What is there? If it weren't for precious things, would she be able to watch the show?
These people pondered in their hearts and finally made a decision. "We must take a picture of it!"
They had not thought about what this mirage really looked like, but the fact that the Tianmen Domain envoys were participating in the auction undoubtedly gave it a golden coat. If even the Tianmen Domain envoys were participating in the auction, and I also bought one, wouldn't it be a great honor if it was spread out?
"I offer a fifth-grade spirit stone!" Suddenly, an abrupt shout came from somewhere, and everyone was shocked. Someone was actually snatching things from the hands of the Tianmen Domain envoy!
The sound came from the west. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge strange bird flying in the sky. The bird had three heads and three legs, and its wings were as sharp as lightning, and there was a faint flash of lightning around it.
"Three-headed Thunder Bird! It's three-headed Thunder Bird!" exclaimed a discerning person.
"The three-headed thunder bird?" The swollen guy frowned. How could such a ferocious bird appear here!
"Form a formation and protect the messenger!" Chi Zuomei and Gongyang Yichen shouted at the same time. Thousands of people appeared around Kong Hai and formed a large formation to protect the small square in the middle.
"It's okay, we're just old friends!" Shi Xin's voice came out, "Liushang, you neglected your duties, why are you here? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the higher-ups for dereliction of duty?"
At this time, everyone discovered that there was actually a palace on the back of the three-headed thunderbird. A deep male voice came from the palace. The male voice laughed loudly, and it was heard thousands of miles away like thunder. "Haha, Fairy Shi will not treat your suitors like this!"
When Shi Yan heard this, he frowned, "Liushang? Liuliu Canghai's eldest son, Liushang!" I once heard from my elder sister that Heidao Duanshui Liuliu Canghai had two sons, the eldest son Liushang and the second son Liuyun. Liuyun was engaged to his childhood sweetheart Xiang Zijin, while this Liushang wanted to marry his elder sister. "Humph, you are really a toad wanting to eat swan meat, don't you look at what you look like!"
Boom, the lightning flashed thousands of miles away, the thunder roared, and the entire Zimu Liuhua Region seemed to be bathed in this lightning. The thunder had a kind of heart-shaking magic that made people tremble in their hearts. Even those big guys were no exception.
Except for Shi Yan, everyone present trembled and knelt on the ground.
"Hmm?" A doubtful voice suddenly came from the hall on the back of the three-headed thunder bird, followed by a loud shout, "Not bad, in such a remote countryside there are people who can withstand the majesty of my thunder bird, not bad, not bad." Although the words were admiration, the tone was different.
Shi Yan didn't know why he could bear it. He was wondering why these people all knelt down. It turned out that this was the pressure from Lei Que!
However, a question came to my mind, "Why can I bear it?"
"How dare you not kneel when you see your master!" A loud shout was heard, and a red light approached instantly, aiming at Shi Yan's neck.
Seeing that Liu Shang's people dared to touch her most beloved brother, Shi Xin was furious and snorted coldly, "Humph, Liu Shang, you dare to touch people in front of me, aren't you a little too arrogant!"
Shi Xin snorted coldly and raised one hand. A man behind him flew out quickly, drew his sword from its sheath, and a ray of sword light slashed across, splitting the red light into two!
Suddenly, a blood-red knife broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
A muffled groan came from the back of the three-headed thunder bird, and it was obvious that the person who attacked was seriously injured.
"Haha, Fairy Shi is still so gentle and considerate of the common people!" Although he was unhappy, he did not dare to show it. His family was powerful, but compared with the Shi family, there was still a big gap. Besides, he was pursuing Shi Xin wholeheartedly, so how could he dare to make her unhappy here? However, this did not mean that the anger in his heart was gone. "You set up a formation against me, are you still trying to attack me?"
With a wave of his big hand, the thunderbirds cried and struck down with lightning knives. With a loud bang, a corner of the formation was missing. All the people who formed this corner died, estimated to be as many as a hundred people. The rest of the survivors were also seriously injured and it would be difficult for them to make any big moves in the near future.
"This..." Gongyang Yichen was so heartbroken. Most of the people who died in that corner were from his Zhongtong Jianmen! He guessed in his heart, "Who is this person who is as powerful as thunder?"
"Stop it." Shi Xin said lightly. Who would be the one watching if someone killed someone in front of her?
"Okay, I'll do whatever the fairy tells me to do!"
Chi Zuomei and Gongyang Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it was an enemy, they would not be able to defeat them.
The formation converged, and the companions hurried up to carry the injured down to treat them. If they could be saved, they would be saved, but if they couldn't, they couldn't let the bodies be left in the wilderness.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock, disgust, and hatred. When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. Although the person who died was not one of their own, at least they all lived under the same sky. It was really heartbreaking to think that he died in such a stroke.
No matter how much they hated it, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction. This man killed people without blinking an eye. Who knows if anyone protested, he would get angry and kill them.
The people in Tianmen Territory regard other regions as ants and the people in the border regions as pigs and dogs. Everyone knows this in their hearts, but they just don't dare to say it out loud.
In comparison, the envoy from Tianmen Territory who came earlier was much better. Although he had some of the arrogance that was unique to people from Tianmen Territory, he was much better than this man who took people's lives lightly!
Shi Yan stood aside and watched everything happen before his eyes. Although the dead were people from Zhongtong Jianmen, Liu Shang's methods undoubtedly angered Shi Yan.
"Hmph, a scum like this wants to marry my sister? Dream on!" He gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress his impulsive soul. He couldn't resist him now, so he could only endure it!
Why the hell can I just endure it! Shi Yan's eyes were red with anger. The guy who used to crawl at my feet and look up at me now wants me to look up at him! And I almost died at his hands but I couldn't resist!
Shi Yan closed his eyes and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, and blood flowed down the ground drop by drop.
Drop by drop, the sound of it dripping on the ground is barely audible, but in my ears it is like thunder, and like the sound of morning bells and evening drums, beating against my heart again and again.
At this time, Liu Shang walked out of the hall on the back of the three-headed thunderbird, looked down at Kong Hai Qianfu, stared at Lin Qingzhi who was shivering on the ground, and snorted coldly, "Why don't you offer that thing quickly? Are you still waiting for someone to bid higher than me?"
Lin Qingzhi trembled all over, stood up with difficulty, and walked forward step by step holding the Mirage Crystal in both hands.
Liushang flipped his right hand, and the mirage crystal slowly floated up and flew into the air.
In the sunlight and lightning, the crystal reflects beautiful light, which is dazzling, but no one cares about this beauty now.
A figure suddenly flashed out, and with a clang, a long sword was unsheathed. With a flash of blue light, it fiercely smashed on the mirage crystal. The mirage crystal shattered with a snap, turning into crystal dots that floated in the wind.
As everyone stared in amazement, Shi Yan stood there in a blue robe, sheathed his blue sword, and ignoring the stunned Liu Shang, he turned around and walked away step by step.
"We don't sell this!"
