Chapter 871: Taking Advantage to Extort
An auction of twenty million Top-grade Spirit Stones for a Top-Grade Divine Beast that cannot recognize an owner.
In everyone's eyes, this is definitely an unworthy endeavor.
Now, calling out such a high price, how can it not surprise people?
"This guy is actually bidding. Could he be crazy? Does he think he can make the Blue Gold Winged Lion King recognize him as its owner?" Liu Wenshan said.
"Hmph, with just an Early Stage Cave Void cultivation, he still wants the Blue Gold Winged Lion King to recognize him? It's simply wishful thinking. He might end up dying miserably under the sharp teeth of this Blue Gold Winged Lion King." Guihai Tianxing coldly snorted.
His eyes were filled with deep disdain.
"Exactly, maybe in the end, we won't even need to lift a finger." Liu Wenshan also laughed sinisterly.
"The guest in Box 3 has bid twenty million. I wonder if the guest in Box 2 will raise the bid?" Mei Ji said, after some surprise, quickly regaining her composure.
The surrounding crowd, hearing this, all looked towards Box 2.
"Thirty million!" However, at this moment, a voice once again came from Box 2.
Everyone was stunned. This Box 2 really did raise the bid, and by ten million more. It seems they are determined to win this treasure!
In Box 3, Xu Nian also looked surprised.
He originally raised the bid by ten million, intending to quash the opponent's desire to bid further.
But he didn't expect the opponent to counter in the same manner!
"I bid thirty million and ten thousand!" Xu Nian pressed the bidding device and declared his price.
The surrounding crowd was shocked.
This guy only added ten thousand.
Box 2 was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting the counterpart to be so shameless.
"Forty million!" Box 2's voice sounded again.
In Tianbao Pavilion, everyone's eyes widened.
This Box 2 really has some nerve, actually bidding forty million.
Mei Ji also looked astonished, forty million had far exceeded her expectations.
"Box 2 bids forty million, I wonder if the guest in Box 3 will continue to raise their bid?" Mei Ji asked.
Although she felt that Box 3 would surely give up, the process still had to be followed.
The surrounding people also thought the same; last time this guy only added ten thousand, how could he possibly bid again?
"Forty million and ten thousand!"
However, just when everyone thought it was over.
Xu Nian again reported a price.
Again, only adding ten thousand.
As a result, the entire Tianbao Pavilion erupted.
"Shameless, when someone else bids ten million more, you only add ten thousand, purely causing trouble!"
"That's right, dare to add a bit more?"
...
Voices of scorn filled the surroundings, and everyone felt it was unfair for the owner of Box 2.
In Box 3, Long Tian'er heard the crowd's scolding and looked at Xu Nian beside her, who was smiling. She also felt helpless.
She was increasingly unable to understand what Xu Nian was thinking.
But she knew that Xu Nian must have his reasons for doing this.
"Guest in Box 3, could you please let me have this auction item? It is very important to me."
At this moment, a cold female voice came from Box 2.
Though her words were a request, her tone carried a hint of arrogance.
"Why should I let you have it?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
Actually, he had long anticipated this scene would occur.
It just happened a bit earlier than he expected.
Every time he added only ten thousand, it was to see why the person in Box 2 was so concerned about this Blue Gold Winged Lion King.
He had a feeling that the reason the opponent wanted it was not to keep it as a Spiritual Pet.
"As long as the guest in Box 3 is willing to give up, I, Wu Yingdie, will remember this favor and repay it someday!" The cold voice sounded again.
The tone became much more gentle.
"I can let you have it, but words are wind. Who knows if you might go back on your promise in the future? If you swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to agree to do something for me, I will let you have this auction item," Xu Nian's cunning voice sounded again.
The surrounding people were all stunned.
This guy actually made such a shameless request.
For an auction item, he actually made someone swear to the Heavenly Dao.
"Fine, I agree. I, Wu Yingdie, swear to agree to do something for the owner of Box 3 as long as he gives up this auction item." The female voice responded decisively.
The surrounding crowd was astonished.
No one expected the owner of Box 2 to actually agree to such a rude request.
Xu Nian was all smiles at this moment.
Everything was as he expected.
The reason for making such a request was entirely Wentian Demon Sovereign's idea.
He had asked Xu Nian to make this request. Although Xu Nian didn't understand why, he still chose to follow through.
In the end, the owner of Box 2 won the Blue Gold Winged Lion King for forty million and twenty thousand.
The commotion concluded there.
The surrounding crowd was filled with emotion, unable to comprehend why the Blue Gold Winged Lion King was worth both forty million Top-grade Spirit Stones and a promise.
This point was likely only clear to the owner of Box 2.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful woman sat inside Box 2.
The woman's face was breathtakingly beautiful, and her eyes were azure blue.
She exuded an icy and aloof aura.
Sitting there, she was like a noble princess.
Behind her stood an elder.
The elder's hair and beard were white, looking aged, but his sharp eyes were like a hawk's.
"Princess, there was no need to agree to that guy's request. Even if he won, we would never let him take away Your Highness," said the elder, his eyes brimming with Killing Intent.
"No, I cannot take that risk. If my brother suffers any mishap, the loss would be unbearable for us." The woman spoke, her voice cold and authoritative.
No one expected that the Blue Gold Winged Lion King in the cage below was the brother of this noble woman.
"As for that guy, he already knew that we care about my brother, which is why he deliberately added only ten thousand each time, to force me into submission. Moreover, I have a feeling that if my brother fell into his hands, it would be very dangerous." The noble woman said.
"If he makes any shameless requests, wouldn't you be…" The elder said worriedly.
Hearing this, the noble woman fell silent for a moment.
Finally, a deep sense of melancholy appeared on her face.
"Our family is already struggling to survive; keeping my brother safe is the most important thing for me. As for everything else, I would rather die than let him get what he wants if he makes demands." The noble woman's eyes were determined.
Her azure eyes were deep as the starry sky, extremely beautiful.
Hearing this, the elder could only sigh helplessly.
This pair of siblings, though of noble status, had a fate that was extremely bitter.
Especially the princess before him!
