The person next to her closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. "Su Jie, you like necklaces, I have plenty. I'll get you one later."
Jiangsu Jie is not someone who lacks necklaces. "Young...sir, you didn't see how beautiful that necklace was."
"If you like it, why not take a picture?"
Jiangsu Jie rolled her eyes. "Am I stupid? That necklace is only grade eight, worth at most two thousand five. I'm not going to be a sucker!"
The person pretending to be asleep curled her lip. Jiangsu Jie, that miser, could be so stingy with a mere five thousand. She could already imagine the scene of that woman screaming in her ear when she was auctioning it off.
The necklace was respectfully presented to A-Yi-Gu, who paid for it and then put it on Hua-An-Su.
The navy blue pendant looked even better on her fair and perfect collarbone.
He reached out and straightened the pendant. "It's really beautiful."
Hua Ansu smiled and fed him a segment of the peeled orange. "Thank you for the gift, young master."
She fed him, and he continued peeling, using a tissue as a pad to peel, his pale fingers clean.
The auction outside is still ongoing.
Half of the items were medicinal plants and potions. A-Gu even bid on a medicinal plant he needed, spending 100,000 star coins.
Where did the money come from?
The star currency of Yu Xingji is naturally different from that of Luo Luo Xingji, so this money...
It was Hua Ansu who robbed it from the Prince's mansion.
She has a clear conscience about what she did. She hurt Bai Yi so badly, and she's not going to hold them accountable. It's not unreasonable for her to take the medical expenses herself, is it?
I forgot to mention that the reason why there are so many medicinal plants and potions in the auction is because Yu Xingji is an interstellar society where pharmacists are the main force and mecha pilots are the secondary force. In fact, the royal family members of Yu Xingji throughout the ages have all been extremely skilled pharmacists.
"Now, here comes the grand finale of tonight!"
"The first and final item, the Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Grass!"
"Mystic Ice Grass?"
"Heavens! It's actually Xuanbing Grass?! And a thousand-year-old one at that!"
"This is a legendary medicinal plant that is priceless!"
"I wonder which rich person it will fall into!"
Amid a chorus of exclamations, the host calmly explained the uses of the Mystic Ice Grass. This unhurried manner only fueled the growing anxiety among the audience.
"Appraiser, stop explaining, just name your price!"
"Yes, hurry up and make an offer!"
The host, who was also the auction house's chief appraiser, remained unhurried. "As everyone knows, even in ordinary years, Xuanbing Grass is extremely rare. It grows in extremely cold places and takes a hundred years to grow into a usable Xuanbing Grass. Therefore, the starting price for this thousand-year-old Xuanbing Grass today is—"
The host paused for a moment before continuing, "One hundred thousand star coins! At least ten thousand star coins will be added each time!"
100,000 Star Coins!
The highest starting bid for the previous items was only 10,000, but this Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Grass started at 100,000, and most importantly, the bid increment was 10,000 each time!
And just like that, only one person in the lobby on the first floor shouted out the starting bid of "100,000 Star Coins," and the bid was snapped up by the person on the second floor.
"Two hundred thousand!" This is room number eight.
"Three hundred thousand!" This is room number fourteen.
"Five hundred thousand!" This is room number two.
"Eight hundred thousand!" This is room number four.
"One million!" This is room number two.
Everyone knew that the price of the Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Grass was at least a million, but no one expected the VIPs on the second floor to be fighting so fiercely, raising the price to a million in the blink of an eye.
"Two million!" The price in VIP room number four doubled immediately.
The room fell silent. The host waited for a while, but no one made a bid. "Two million for the first time..."
"Two million for the second time..."
