Shi Ling changed her impression of Shi Zhenxiang as a fraudster. She thought he was just a stupid son of a landlord.
In the midst of all the talk and noise, the auction soon began.
Thanks to Shi Zhenxiang's connections, Shi Ling, Yu Chen, and Zhu Youjian were seated in the VIP section. The venue was packed, and every seat was filled. The facilities were luxurious. The Heaton family and attendees had prepared exquisite gifts, and Shi Ling and other VIP guests were also given special Heaton family-branded pastries.
Soon, the auction began.
The voluptuous and passionate blonde showed off the first item for auction, a majestic and enormous beast skull.
"This is the skull of an Ice Wolf. It was beheaded by the old Pope of the Divine Moon Church last century. It was once cleansed by the church's holy light, which can drive away evil spirits. It is said that the old Pope nearly died when he beheaded the Ice Wolf, but..."
The story told by the blonde is exaggerated and bizarre but exciting, with many twists and turns.
Shi Ling ate cakes and listened with gusto. She whispered to Yu Chen, "I can still listen to stories. This is a good deal."
Yu Chen nodded slightly, took a tissue from the table in front of her, and wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you. This cake is good. I heard that the Heaton family's special cakes are only given away and never sold. Moreover, each one seems to be different. Would you like to try mine?"
"Thanks."
Yu Chen was about to take the pastry from Shi Ling, but found that she had already handed it to him. He subconsciously opened his mouth and took a bite. Looking at the smile on the girl's face, his expression froze slightly.
Zhu Youjian, who was standing next to him, shouted shamelessly, "Sister, I want some too. Yours seems to be more delicious."
Shi Ling stuffed a piece of food directly into his mouth. "It's like you haven't eaten for hundreds of years. I can't stop your mouth."
Zhu Youjian: "Yes, I haven't had a full meal since I died."
On the other side, Shi Zhenxiang's face was full of envy. Even his junior master had never fed him like this.
Gu Xiuji, who was not far away, looked at Yu Chen with a look that was as sharp as a knife.
After the blonde finished her story, she revealed her true intentions: "The Ice Wolf Skull starts at $2 million! Each bid must be no less than $1,000."
Shi Ling was so shocked that she almost choked on her cake. She lowered her voice and asked Yu Chen, "Just this one bone? And it's from the last century. It's only been a hundred years at most. It can't even be considered a fossil, right? Maybe it's the bones left over from the hunting of that old Pope. To be sold at such a high price is simply a rip-off. Is there really a fool who would bid for it?"
As soon as Shi Ling finished speaking, the auction hall was filled with the sounds of enthusiastic bidding.
Especially some young rich second-generations, they also mixed in several sentences of "so cool".
Shi Ling: “…”
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "On the bright side, they are also conscientious capitalists who don't cheat the poor out of a penny."
"It should just be the celebrity effect. They are all attracted by the title of the old Pope of Shenyue Sect." Yu Chen said.
Shi Zhenxiang was sitting next to Shi Ling. Seeing that Shi Ling was conversing with Yu Chen and Zhu Youjian, paying little attention to him, he immediately came over and said in a low voice, "Young Master, you're right. This Ice Wolf skull is indeed a leftover from the old Pope's hunting trip. The claim that it was obtained after a narrow escape from death is of course false. However, he did process it, and it can indeed ward off evil spirits. He's honest."
Shi Ling couldn't help but sigh, "What a dishonest businessman. He could have just robbed them of their money, but instead he gave them a pair of leftover skulls."
Shi Zhenxiang said, "Young Master, you're actually even more powerful. You've even hunted a Demon Bird King that was even bigger than this auction house. That Demon Bird King was truly formidable. It caused a hurricane in Haicheng, in the northern border of the White Nation, and nearly swept the entire city into the sea. After you slew it, you crafted its feathers into evil-repelling pendants and sold them to wealthy individuals for as little as 100,000 swords each, allowing them to avoid attacks from flocks of Demon Birds when traveling. At the time, they all praised you as a truly kind person."
