Chen Yin asked the servant to change the merman's clothes. "You can't make money without a bottom line. Now that the auction is over, let's give him some dignity."
Beastmen are not just animals with animalistic tendencies. It is extremely humiliating for them to appear in public in such a posture.
The attendant looked hesitant.
Quan Yue glanced at him coldly, his body trembled, he nodded repeatedly, and waved his hand to have someone take Ji Mingxuan away to clean up.
Before being pushed away, Ji Mingxuan turned around and looked at Chen Yin deeply. His blue eyes were like the sea, pure and healing.
"Damn capitalism! Look at how they abuse children."
Gu Xingmang clicked his tongue twice. Earning over 4 billion in one night wouldn't kill him.
Shen Qiangwei in the private room was eagerly waiting. When she saw the neatly dressed Ji Mingxuan push the door open, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. She disliked the auction house for being too nosy, but she was surprised and didn't care about this little thing. She smiled and walked up to him, "Hello, I'm the one who bought you. Remember my name, your future wife, Shen Qiangwei!"
The five beast husbands behind Shen Qiangwei linked their arms and stood side by side, looking at the little mermaid they had bought with five cards with a half-smile.
…
The auction ended and Shen Yin was about to leave.
"Dear guest, someone wants to see you. Please come over."
The servant who pushed the door open startled Chen Yin. He put on a mask and glanced at Gu Xingmang and Quan Yue. "You guys go back first. I'll be there later."
The two of them knew immediately that it was Shen Qiangwei who wanted to settle accounts with her, and they frowned with some worry.
"She wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous in the store. If she offends Your Highness, please remember to contact me. There are bodyguards around."
Quan Yue was worried and pointed at the Star Alliance bracelet.
"Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything."
Chen Yin waved her hand and followed the attendant to open the door of the private room.
The moment she pushed open the door, a powerful hand that had been dormant for a long time pinched her wrist, pulled her in suddenly, kicked the door shut with its legs, and pressed her down on the sofa with its backhand. The lights in the room were dimmed, and a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere collided with a pair of ink-black pupils, flashing with an evil light, as if a small whirlpool was rolling up to absorb people's souls, making people unable to control themselves and dazed.
"Who...who are you?"
Chen Yin glanced at him. Her clear and delicate face was fair and flawless, with a pair of upturned phoenix eyes, cold and noble, with a sense of oppression. Her aggressive eyes swept across her face inch by inch, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
He was incredibly handsome, but his actions were not very polite. Chen Yin turned over and pushed him away, frowning. He looked around the gloomy private room, sat on the sofa, folded his arms, and looked unfriendly.
"What do you want to see me for?"
The face of the man in front of me was extremely unfamiliar.
Before he could finish his words, the man in front of him started taking off his clothes without saying a word.
He casually threw aside his coat and took off his white T-shirt, revealing his muscular body.
Is this something you can watch casually?
Chen Yin subconsciously covered her eyes, but couldn't help leaving a slight gap. Her thin skin, faintly visible in the dim light, was captivating and alluring. From this angle, she looked even more beautiful.
When his eyes fell upon the red crabapple flower mark on his chest, a familiar feeling came over him. Chen Yin lowered his hand, his pupils shrinking. "Lu, Lu Jinchao?"
In fact, when she was arguing with Shen Qiangwei downstairs, Chen Yin had noticed this person and sensed a familiar aura, but Lu Jinchao's information was too secretive and he didn't usually appear on social platforms, so she couldn't find a photo of him. Chen Yin was suspicious the first time she saw him, but it was hard to be sure.
Now it’s confirmed.
The arc of Lu Jin's upturned mouth deepened, and he slowly approached, without any hesitation, pinched Chen Yin's chin, and forced her to look up. His handsome face suddenly moved closer, and their eyes met, and their breath lingered.
"Your Highness, it feels like a long time since we last met. During the time I was away, Your Highness was truly uninhibited and loved freedom. I haven't even had the chance to congratulate Your Highness on your wedding."
Shen Yin: “…”
Divine gold.
Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yin turned away, leaning back on the sofa calmly, and crossed her legs. "Finally, you're not pretending anymore. This is your true self, right? Your Highness the Seventh Prince."
Her eyes slid across his abdominal muscles. "Put on some clothes. What do you look like? Someone who doesn't know me would think I'm a traitor and fell for your Yaoyue Nation's beauty trap."
Lu Jin's lips curled up, his eyes flickered, and he chuckled. He put on his coat casually, moved closer to Chen Yin, sat down beside her, and put his hand through the back of her neck, hugging her tightly. "A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. Your Highness, you must be hurting me by saying this."
Chen Yin remained noncommittal. "Why didn't you say 'a day of marriage is a hundred days of grace' when you stole my potion?"
"Haha, if it wasn't like that, why do you think I let Huo Xun go? Also, I gave you my whole life, and it's not worth a C-grade potion?"
Lu Jinchao smiled widely and continued to approach her, his lips gently parting beside her ear: "It must be worth at least an A-grade potion, right?"
The hot air sprays, making the body warm.
Chen Yin remained calm, "Do you think of yourself as a commodity?"
She glanced sideways, frowning as she sized him up, as if recognizing him for the first time. She sneered, "But then again, if you're willing to come over as a bride and bring half of my kingdom with you, I can certainly give you an A-grade potion. Even if I haven't developed it yet, I believe that with the Seventh Prince's marriage as a spur, I'll definitely speed things up and try to achieve it before you grow old and lose your beauty."
As rational as Lu Jinchao was, when he heard the word "goods", his eyes seemed to be pricked by needles and tightened for a moment.
He scoffed, "It's nothing compared to His Highness spending a fortune on a fish."
Hearing his sarcastic words, Chen Yin laughed instead of getting angry, "You are not a fool, you should understand my intention."
Of course Lu Jinchao understood that she was going against Shen Qiangwei, but he just couldn't figure out what specific use this mermaid had.
Chen Yin is very tight-lipped. He tells everything he knows that shouldn't be said, but is vague about what he should say.
He wanted to trick her into thinking about the A-level potion and brush her off with a few words, but he was the one who got hurt instead.
I suddenly felt uninterested and depressed.
If possible, he didn't want to disguise himself to obtain information and get the potion. Every noble daughter has a bit of pride. But if he didn't do this, he would have no advantage and would not be able to stand out among his brothers and sisters. The queen mother always favored the princesses. Only by doing his best and standing high could he let his father and brothers live a good life.
The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. Once his mother dies and his eldest sister ascends the throne, what awaits him and his family is eternal darkness.
Including Zhao Zhixian's approach to him was not purely for his beauty. The prince's identity was an admission ticket to the royal family. Only with the admission ticket could she have the opportunity to get close to that chair.
The smell of power is too tempting.
Looking at Chen Yin's familiar face, we lived together day and night under the same roof, and had never been apart for so long.
I didn’t realize it when I was in it, but now I realize the preciousness of ordinary life.
His mental power unconsciously scanned her body, his gaze landing on her forearm. He suddenly moved, lifted her shirt, and looked at the teeth marks and blood on it. His face darkened, "Who did this?!"
