Free Web NovelAlmost the only guests left with the capacity to participate in the bidding were those in the private rooms upstairs, which caused the bidding speed to slow down.
However, the atmosphere became even more tense, like a net stretched to its limit.
Any moment, a big fish could leap out of it.
"320 million."
The calmest people in the entire venue were probably Qin Wanyun and her pet.
"The distinguished guest in private room number 6 has bid 320 million star coins. Are there any further bids?"
The Mallet Puppet, cooperating with its Beast Tamers, struck the golden mallet.
"350 million."
After one strike, someone immediately added another 30 million.
Before Qin Wanyun could even ask again, another voice immediately raised the price to 400 million.
Mingxi, who was prepared to splurge 300 million to bid: "..." freёwebnovel.com
Alright.
The clown is me.
"Hiss."
Her cheek tingled slightly, and she turned her face to see Little Silver Flower poking her with its short toes.
"Luo Luo."
It was reminding her to bid quickly.
It also indicated that delicious things absolutely could not be snatched away by others.
Its pink pupils showed only urgency, without any shock or confusion; clearly, it didn't find it unreasonable for these people to fight so fiercely over the Qingkong Bone Dragon Egg.
More precisely, it felt that the stone slab was worth such a grand struggle.
Little Silver Flower was not Golden Yuanbao or Lan Yue; no matter how arrogant or aloof they were, that was only their external personality, and they were actually very simple.
But Little Silver Flower was different.
Although Little Silver Flower was just an egg when it contracted with her, it had, after all, existed for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
During this time, it had been passed through who knows how many hands. Even if it was dormant for most of the time, the external information it received and its understanding of human society were the most extensive among the three.
In short, Little Silver Flower knew very well what 400 million star coins represented.
When Mingxi bid for the S-Rank Body Tempering Potion earlier, it had even called her a spendthrift.
So, what level of heavenly material and earthly treasure was that stone slab, exactly?
Mingxi was dying of curiosity!
No matter what it was.
She still had to bid for it.
While Mingxi's thoughts wandered for a moment, the price soared by another 30 million.
Now, only private rooms number 2 and 8 were still participating in the bidding, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate, refusing to yield.
She pulled down her mask, calmly raised her bidding paddle, and in her clear, cool voice, calmly called out the newly pre-set price.
"600 million."
The entire venue suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Adding over 100 million star coins in one go, which royal princess was this, on a private visit?
Countless gazes instantly fell upon Mingxi, but she seemed oblivious, her exposed eyes like a vast starry sea, deep and serene.
Qin Wanyun on the auction stage was also visibly stunned.
It was this guest number 72 again.
This young lady also wanted to participate in the bidding for the Qingkong Bone Dragon Egg? But could she really afford that many star coins?
She remembered that she had already spent over 300 million star coins tonight!
The asset verification standard for a regular seating invitation card was 500 million, so logically, this young lady should have almost spent all her money.
"Who knows which family's junior this guest number 72 is? Can she really afford that many star coins?"
"She's wearing a mask, I certainly can't recognize her."
"I always feel like her eyebrows and eyes look familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere before?"
"I also feel a bit familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen them. Not just her eyebrows and eyes, even her voice feels a bit familiar..."
"..."
Just then, the female in the young couple sitting next to Mingxi, who had been overly affectionate all evening, unexpectedly reached out a hand.
The direction and posture of that hand clearly indicated an attempt to pull down the mask on Mingxi's face.
Suddenly, a hand appeared before her eyes.
Mingxi, encountering such an absurd situation for the first time, cursed loudly in her heart, but for a moment, she couldn't stop the other party's action. However, Little Silver Flower, who was conveniently lie on her shoulder, reacted very quickly.
The moment it sensed malicious intent approaching its Beast Tamers, it immediately opened its mouth and spewed out a Dragon Breath.
How could an ordinary person withstand Little Silver Flower's Dragon Breath?
In an instant, the woman's slender hand was rapidly corroded and swallowed by the power of spatial engulfment, her palm disappearing at a visible speed.
Soon, the woman's left arm was left with only a bare wrist, but the blood seemed to be isolated by # Nоvеlight # some force and did not spray out.
"Ah!"
"My hand!!!"
After a brief moment of bewilderment, the woman screamed in extreme terror and shrillness, almost piercing the roof of the Hong'er Guild Hall.
Watching one's own hand disappear, no normal person could remain calm.
Mingxi: "..."
Well, I'll be!
Little Silver Flower, you're truly ruthless!
It doesn't act unless it acts, and when it acts, it truly removes a hand.
Mingxi slowly stood up, not looking at the woman who was clutching her left arm and staring at her with terrified and angry eyes, but instead coldly looked directly at Qin Wanyun on the auction stage.
"Is this the grand gift your Prosperous Luck Auction House is giving me?"
Qin Wanyun was dumbfounded.
Because Mingxi had just participated in the auction, Qin Wanyun's attention was Just right on her, so she saw the woman's sudden move to pull down Mingxi's mask.
She had hosted so many auctions and encountered all sorts of situations; there had been instances of people snatching auction items or deliberately causing trouble.
But like just now, someone losing their hand so cleanly and swiftly because they were meddling, she truly saw that for the first time.
Also, what was that skill just now?
And what kind of pet was guest number 72 carrying?
"I apologize, guest number 72, this is our oversight!" Qin Wanyun quickly gave a look to the nearby security personnel, instructing them to first control the woman from seat 74. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Although this woman was very unlucky, losing her hand just because she wanted to pull someone's mask, if one were to be serious about this matter, she herself was at fault.
After all, the one who provokes first is cheap, and being counterattacked by others is purely deserved.
Moreover, it wasn't guest 72 who acted, but her pet.
A pet detecting its Beast Tamers being attacked and thus making an instinctive move to protect its master or counterattack is not even considered a crime in the Alliance.
At most, they'd pay some medical fees; they wouldn't have to bear any other responsibility.
Qin Wanyun could only say that the young woman probably had something wrong with her brain; why would she inexplicably provoke someone?
And even interrupt the normal progress of the auction because of it!
If the main item wasn't sold, would she compensate?
"What are you doing? Don't touch me! I was attacked! My hand is gone, you should be grabbing this bitch who hurt me! Why are you grabbing me?"
"Ah ah ah..."
"...Husband, husband... quickly help me drive these people away, and that bitch, help me kill her, I want to kill her!"
The male in the clingy couple seemed to have just reacted. He looked at the chaotic scene before him with a livid face.
He angrily questioned the woman: "What exactly did you do just now?"
