At this moment, the atmosphere in the whole venue was quiet.
No one spoke, only Li kept urging Shao Jiajia and Shao Yiyi to come and claim the throne from Ruan Youning.
"Are you in the Li family so casual?" Shao Jiajia asked.
Li Yangrong frowned, "Saint, your king is here. Although you have the body of a spirit witch, please be careful with your words."
"I'm paying attention. If I wasn't, I would have just called you shameless."
Phew~
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Yangrong's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "I'm so rude!"
Shao Jiajia glared at him coldly, "Why, you forced me to call an unrelated person king, and I can't say a word to you?"
Li Yangrong flew into a rage, "How dare you deny your own king?"
Shao Yiyi said directly, "Old man, where do you get the confidence to let us call that woman the king? Is she worthy?"
"you--"
"Our king is here." Shao Yiyi looked at Ruan Qiao with a smile on her face, and knelt on one knee, put her hands together, and made a gesture unique to the Wu Kingdom.
That is a gesture used exclusively when greeting the king.
Shao Jiajia also bowed down, "King, someone actually tried to impersonate you. Jiajia will help you punish them."
Ruan Qiao did not avoid the question at this time. Instead, she nodded openly: "Yes."
Shao Jiajia's eyes lit up, and her eyes changed color immediately. There was no white in her eyes, only endless, deep black.
At first, these eyes were called the eyes of a monster by Shao Jiajia's mother, but now, they made everyone present feel a chill.
If they had seen the golden bone before, they had only seen evidence that it was indeed the body of a spiritual witch.
When these eyes appeared at this moment, they directly felt what the body of a spiritual witch was.
And those terrifying eyes just glanced at them lightly and stopped on the Li family members.
Especially Ruan Youning.
"You dare to pretend to be the king, and I will punish you by making your skin as rough as tree bark."
As she finished speaking, Ruan Youning's face showed anger, but the next moment, her exposed skin instantly became as rough as tree bark.
It is extremely terrifying to see skin like tree bark growing on a person's body.
Ruan Youning looked at her arms that were as dry as a dead tree and screamed.
"presumptuous!"
Li Yangrong's face changed drastically and he shouted harshly.
Shao Jiajia glanced at him again and said, "You talk too much. As a punishment, you can't speak human language for ten hours. If you open your mouth, it will be like a dog barking or a chicken crowing."
Li Yangrong opened his mouth to yell angrily, but all that came out was: Woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!
Everyone in the audience: …………
They were not amused by Li Yangrong's shouting, but their faces turned pale instead.
This is really a curse.
Li Yangrong's face turned pale instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to ask Shao Jiajia to lift the curse for him. However, this time, when he opened his mouth, he said: Hehehehe!
There was a burst of crowing, like a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
Li Yangrong covered his mouth with his hand, a trace of fear in his eyes.
He looked at Ruan Qiao on the stage with red eyes, with a hint of fear in his anger.
What he feared was not Ruan Qiao, but Ruan Qiao's identity.
If she is the king destined to be king...
Li Yangrong didn't dare to think about the deeper consequences.
Things suddenly developed into this situation. The second elder of the Li family took a step forward and spoke slowly.
"Ruan Qiao, why don't you let her remove the curse? Using a curse on your own people, how can you say that?"
"My own people?" Ruan Qiao said this playfully.
The elder of the second clan looked unhappy.
Ruan Qiao looked at the second elder with amusement: "My Tianlou has nothing to do with your Li clan. Whose clan are you, the Li clan?"
"You—Ruan Qiao, even if you don't want to admit it, blood can't lie!"
"Really? If you insist on saying so, then as king, I will remove all members of your Li clan from the Wu Kingdom's genealogy. From now on, your Li clan will have no connection with my Tianlou clan."
Ruan Qiao's tone was very flat, so flat that it seemed as if she was saying that the weather was really nice today.
But the second elder suddenly widened his eyes, breathed rapidly, and stared at Ruan Qiao.
"Ruan Qiao, how could you do this?"
Ruan Qiao glanced at him and said, "Go away. Don't get in my way here."
The guards of Penglai Hotel stepped forward at this time and forced back the Li family members who had been causing trouble.
Li Jinyan supported Ruan Youning, whose skin had turned as thin as tree bark, and retreated silently without saying a word.
Mu Shengtian comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll go find Ruan Qiao later."
Li Jinyan nodded, her eyes red, "Shengtian, you must save Youning."
"Don't worry." Mu Shengtian patted Li Jinyan's hand with a low voice.
Without anyone from the Li family to cause trouble, Ruan Qiao changed the subject and said, "Everyone, I am the goddess of the Divine Fire Alliance, and everyone already knows about it. Therefore, today's auction is jointly organized by the Ancient Emperor Association and the Tianlou Chamber of Commerce.
This is the first time the two chambers of commerce have collaborated. If there are any shortcomings, I hope everyone will understand and offer valuable suggestions."
She glanced around the audience and said, "Now, the auction officially begins. Please look forward to today's auction items. Now, let us invite today's auctioneer, my attendant, Miss Qu Manyu."
Qu Manyu walked onto the stage under everyone's gaze.
She has the mature charm of a thirty-year-old, as well as the pure beauty of a twenty-year-old.
She was very beautiful, and she spoke calmly and gracefully, "Next, let's take a look at our first lot: ten kilograms of human-faced spider silk.
Starting price: 500 kilograms of ancient spiritual jade."
Ten kilograms of human-faced spider silk is enough for a large family to make a piece of spider silk clothing that is impervious to water and fire.
This is much better than a bulletproof vest. It is soft and hard, impervious to water and fire, and is a treasure for self-defense.
It is difficult to measure its value with ordinary money, so spiritual jade is used for transactions here.
Five hundred kilograms of ancient spiritual jade is also extremely rare.
However, fierce bidding soon broke out at the scene.
In the end, the ten kilograms of spider silk were bought by the Kong family.
Next, another extremely rare treasure appeared.
Ruan Qiao walked backstage and went straight to rest.
Not long after I arrived, I heard a knock on the door.
The attendant outside whispered, "Miss Ruan, Patriarch Mu wants to see you."
Ruan Qiao's eyes moved, and she instantly knew why Mu Shengtian came to see her.
Her eyes gleamed slightly, and she said calmly, "Please let Master Mu in."
Outside, the auction and bidding continued fiercely. Ning Xiqiao looked in the direction of Chu's group, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Today, Ruan Qiao was in the spotlight, but she had to suppress her arrogance.
She turned and whispered something to the follower beside her.
The follower responded and turned to walk towards Chu.
