"Look, she is so beautiful. She is the most beautiful item I have ever seen."

The crowd cried out in surprise. Sheng He looked at the girl curled up in the big iron cage and couldn't help but admire her beauty.

She had a pair of blue eyes as clear and bright as crystal, long curly hair like seaweed draped softly in front of her, and a huge fish tail that covered the entire cage, refracting colorful light under the faint light.

She was tightly clutching a white bead in her hand. Even though her face was covered in blood and dust, it still couldn't conceal her breathtakingly beautiful face.

The surroundings gradually brightened, and the beauty of the mermaid was fully displayed in front of everyone. The scene seemed to be quiet for a moment, followed by exclamations one after another.

Jiang Xuanli left the room at some point. He went down to the scene himself, stood beside the iron cage, and felt the crowd's enthusiasm for the mermaid.

He bent down and gently lifted a strand of the mermaid's blue hair. In the eager eyes of the crowd, he cut off the strand of hair and threw it to the crowd with force, saying loudly:

"Mermaid from the Eastern Sea, starting price: 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

The enthusiasm of the crowd was completely ignited, countless people were vying for that strand of hair, and the sound of bidding was endless.

The mermaid hid aside trembling, having no idea of ​​her fate.

"One hundred thousand!"

"I'll pay 100,000 spirit stones for this mermaid cauldron. No one can snatch it from me!"

The man in the next room leaned half of his body out and shouted loudly, his fat body squeezed into a ball and it looked like he would fall out of the window at any time, but his squinting eyes kept staring at the mermaid in the iron cage, as if he wanted to stick close to her immediately.

The crowd on the first floor gradually woke up from their frenzy. One hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones were enough to support a small sect. Although mermaids were indeed precious, they were short of money and no one raised the price for a while.

"Hey, furnace tripod, my furnace tripod."

The fat man in the next room struggled to move his body inside, and almost wanted to go downstairs immediately to take the mermaid away.

Until a voice came out from another room slowly: "One hundred and ten thousand."

"Who, who dares to snatch it from me! Don't you know that my father is the city lord?"

The fat man stared at the room fiercely until a slender face appeared in the room and the man waved at the fat man jokingly.

"Thank you very much, Master Chen. I want this mermaid."

"You! Wang Zheng, just wait for me!"

Once someone opened their mouth, competition in the second-floor compartment suddenly became fierce, with people raising the price from time to time.

"130,000."

"Thirteen hundred and five thousand."

…

"One hundred and sixty-five thousand."

Sheng He narrowed his eyes and was still deciding whether to bid when a clear female voice came from the corner of the first floor: "166,000."

"Girl, don't make a random offer. If you can't pay in the end, you'll end up in a terrible situation!"

The woman sitting in the corner nodded slightly, but when someone shouted out "170,000", she raised the price again.

"Seventeen thousand one."

Sheng He stood by the window, looking at the woman inconspicuously.

She was wearing an ordinary dark grey coarse cloth dress, her hair was tied up with a piece of rag, her face was grey and her features could not be seen clearly, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on her body.

Judging from her appearance alone, she looks no different from an ordinary peasant woman.

Sheng He's eyes fell on the woman's neck. There was nothing special about her, but she had a pearl on her neck that was exactly the same as the one in the mermaid's hand.

"Two hundred thousand."

Sheng He shouted out.

Jiang Xuanli looked at Sheng He in surprise, then smiled and nodded at her.

"Two hundred thousand. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price? If not, this beautiful mermaid will belong to that girl."

The fat man in the next room turned around and stared at Sheng He fiercely: "Hey! What do you, a woman, need a mermaid for? Do you know who my father is?"

"I know." Sheng He stared at the mermaid and laughed softly, "The city lord."

"you!"

Chen Zichuan was just about to ask someone to teach this ignorant bitch a lesson when he saw the clothes Sheng He was wearing. Those were... the clothes of Qingyun Sect's Jianfeng's direct disciples.

Chen Zichuan fell silent and looked at the mermaid in the iron cage unwillingly.

"I say, Immortal, it's useless for you to cultivate swordsmanship, so why not give it to me? My father is the Lord of Sheng'an City, and the entire Sheng'an City will give you and Qingyun Sect some respect in the future."

Sheng He chuckled: "How do you know that it's useless for me to have a mermaid?"

"I want to give it to you, okay."

Chen Zichuan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Why don't you just raise the price?"

Chen Zichuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, fairy."

"Two hundred and ten thousand."

Sheng He then shouted: "Two hundred and twenty thousand."

"Fairy, didn't you say you would give it to me?"

"I just asked you to raise the price, but I didn't say I wouldn't raise the price."

"If you want, add more."

Sheng He looked at the fat man with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the woman sitting in the corner.

Chen Zichuan looked at Sheng He with gritted teeth, and finally moved his body back to the room in hatred.

Looking at the two maids of mediocre appearance in the room and then at the incredibly beautiful mermaid, he angrily overturned all the tea bowls on the table.

"Useless! A bunch of vulgar people! Get out of here!"

The two maids retreated in a hurry. Chen Zichuan sat on the stool panting. He was too fat and felt exhausted after a little movement. But his eyes were still fixed on the mermaid in the audience.

The more I look at it, the more unwilling I feel.

No! That mermaid can only be his!

So what if he is a disciple of Qingyun Sect? Sheng'an City is his territory after all. It would be fine if that girl is willing to hand over the mermaid.

If not...

A fierce light flashed in Chen Zichuan's eyes.

With Chen Zichuan's withdrawal, the remaining people began to hesitate. After a while, Wang Zheng poked his head out of the room and greeted Sheng He.

"I'll pay two hundred and thirty thousand. Sorry, Immortal."

Sheng He nodded slightly: "Two hundred and sixty thousand."

"Two hundred and sixty-one."

Sheng He looked down at the woman in the corner and curled his lips slightly. Sure enough, she made another bid.

"Two hundred and seventy thousand."

"Three hundred thousand."

The scene fell silent again. The woman looked up at Sheng He with a pale face. She pinched the beads around her neck and finally lowered her head in despair.

Only Jiang Xuanli, who was holding onto the cage, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Sheng He offered 300,000 yuan, and he gave a 30% discount, so it's only 210,000 yuan?

No wonder she added tens of thousands at a time. After the discount, didn’t he still lose money?

Jiang Xuanli twitched his lips. Ninety thousand mid-grade spirit stones, his loss was not a small one!
