When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that things had gone well, he summoned the prank master Zhou Xingxing. With the disappearance of the prank master Zhou Xingxing, the obedience pill also lost its effect, and Feng Ping's friends naturally regained their senses.
"Ugh!" The group began to vomit, desperately spitting out the pebbles from their mouths. However, because their mouths were covered in blood, their spitting out blood made them feel even more nauseous.
The onlookers were all people of status, and upon seeing these people acting like this, they all showed disgust. Some women even turned their heads away, saying how disgusting it was.
The group vomited violently, as if they wanted to throw up their dinner from the night before. The area around them was a mess and extremely disgusting.
After being tricked by Liu Xiaoyuan, the group had no face to stay there and immediately ran out. Before leaving, they didn't forget to give Liu Xiaoyuan a venomous look.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care at all about the resentful looks on their faces. If these guys dared to retaliate against him, he would definitely make them taste the bitterness of eating stones again.
"Hey, guys, don't rush off yet! Tell us what it's like to eat stones," Liu Xiaoyuan called out to them.
Upon hearing this, the group ran even faster. They had lost face completely tonight and would probably become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
The excitement came to an end, and the jade gambling scene returned to silence. At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan became the most dazzling figure here, not only because he cut out a top-quality piece of imperial green jadeite, but more importantly because the way he punished the others earlier left everyone present with lingering fear.
There wasn't much left to do at the jade gambling site, so Liu Xiaoyuan was the first to leave. Following him, the others gradually followed suit.
"Brother, how about we go take a break, get a massage or something?" Feng Ping walked up to Liu Xiaoyuan and asked with a grin.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Feng Ping, who then said, "Brother, the technicians here are all girls with great figures and beautiful faces. If you need anything, you can even call some female celebrities to serve you."
Feng Ping's meaning was quite clear: the massage was a pretense; he was probably really doing things that were inappropriate for children.
Liu Xiaoyuan glared at Feng Ping and said coldly, "If you keep doing this, your manhood will be ruined forever!"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Feng Ping felt a chill run down his spine as a cold wind swept past his crotch.
"Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. How about we go to that auction?" Feng Ping said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and followed Feng Ping to the auction to see what was going to be auctioned.
The auction hadn't started yet, so when Liu Xiaoyuan and Feng Ping went in, there weren't many people sitting inside. The two of them casually found a seat and sat down.
About ten minutes later, more and more people began to arrive at the auction.
The auction venue suddenly became lively, with everyone speculating about what good items would be auctioned off that night.
Auctions like this can auction anything because they're conducted in a clandestine manner. That's why many people enjoy these auctions, as they can buy the antiques and collectibles they need.
At 10 p.m., the auction started on time. The person in charge of the auction was a woman with a beautiful appearance and figure. She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old and exuded a mature charm. She looked exceptionally attractive.
As soon as the auctioneer came out, some people started whistling, and some even shouted, "Auctioneer, stop auctioning things and come eat and drink with me!"
The auctioneer maintained a smile despite the flirtatious remarks, because those attending tonight's event were all wealthy and influential.
After a while of commotion, the older man walked onto the stage and said to everyone, "Everyone, please be quiet. Our auction is about to begin. Our rule is that the highest bidder wins. As for other rules, there are none. It's cash on delivery!"
After the announcement, the auction began. The first item was a piece of porcelain, described as a Song Dynasty piece. It looked beautiful, and the starting price was 200,000. There were no restrictions on the increment; you could add just one yuan. The highest bidder would win.
So, during the auction, many people who disliked the other party started to act maliciously, adding more and more pieces just to annoy the other party.
Although this situation is unavoidable, everyone feels that it's a good thing to have something interesting to watch.
"Brother, do you like that porcelain piece? If you do, we'll bid on it!" Feng Ping asked.
"Are all the items here 100% genuine?" Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask, because even some large auctions sell counterfeit goods, let alone an auction like this one with no procedures whatsoever.
Feng Ping said, "Brother, you can rest assured about this. There is absolutely no problem with the things here. If the boss dares to try to fool everyone with fake products, he shouldn't be able to stay in Beijing."
That's true. The people who come here are all from the upper class. If the auction house owner dares to mess around, he'll definitely suffer a terrible fate.
Several items were antiques, including calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain. It's said that antiques are valued in prosperous times and gold in chaotic times. Now that the country is peaceful and prosperous, some people still enjoy cultivating their tastes by buying antiques to display at home. This serves two purposes: firstly, it can cultivate their character, and secondly, antiques can appreciate in value—a win-win situation.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no interest in these antiques because he knew nothing about them, so he decided not to try to imitate others' refined tastes.
After bidding on several antiques, the next item up for auction was a bellyband worn by an ancient woman.
Wow! This is possible? Liu Xiaoyuan was quite surprised when he saw the undergarment that had been brought out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this bellyband was used by a concubine in the Qing Dynasty palace. If anyone is interested, you can participate in the auction. By the way, if you win the bid for this bellyband, we will also give you an original bellyband worn by our auctioneer as a bonus."
Holy crap! City people really know how to have fun; they can pull off something like this. Liu Xiaoyuan is speechless.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but recall seeing online that some girls, because of their beautiful legs, would sell their worn-out lingerie online, and their voices were also incredibly beautiful.
It's surprising that even the upper class indulges in such things. It seems that people of all social classes share some common interests.
"Damn, I've seen photos of the concubines in the Qing Dynasty's harem. They were all so ugly and deformed, I can't even sleep just thinking about them. And to buy the bellybands they wore? Ugh, I don't want that. But I'd like the ones the auctioneer wore."
"Exactly! We only want the auctioneer's. Auctioneer, if you take off your bra right here and now, I'm willing to pay 100,000!"
