"Xiao Xun, start the auction." Yunlong casually instructed while looking down at the auction hall.
Xiao Xun nodded his head and walked out of Yunlong's vip room, starting his master's order.
Yunlong observed the hall and noticed a few familiar faces, which caused him to smile a little because this auction will not be as dull as he expected.
'Well, everything is inside my grasp, so let's see how these people play.' Yunlong commented while looking at Yu Xiaogang in the hall.
Xiao Xun gradually entered the hall, and everyone in the room immediately became quiet because this means the auction is about to start.
"Thanks, everyone, for coming to the grand auction today." Xiao Xun said with a polite smile on his face, which caused the atmosphere of the room to lighten a little
"Then, ladies and gentlemen, let's start the auction!" He confidently exclaimed, to which everyone responded with claps and cheers.
Xiao Xun walked off the stage, and a female auctioneer walked in with a bright smile on her face.
"Well, everyone. Since it is still too early, let's start with minor items first." The auctioneer clapped her hands, and her assistant walked in with a box.
The assistant opened the box and showed a jade vile, which stored failure pills made by Bai Xue.
"The first item, Beauty Pills." The auctioneer took the jade vile from her assistant and opened it, causing a refreshing aroma of pills to come out.
Every female in the room immediately moved their gazes toward the jade vile, and the auctioneer could feel their hungry stares, which caused her to giggle inside.
"The price of a bottle is 100 gold coins, and the minimum increase is one gold coin, then start." Auctioneer calmly said.
"150 Gold Coins!"
"155!"
"165!"
"169!"
"180!"
"200!" Someone in the audience seats shouted, which caused everyone to stop bidding because the original price literally has been doubled.
Yunlong couldn't help but chuckle at this because those pills are not even worth that much, but 200 gold coins aren't bad at all.
"Bai Xue, how much is your beauty pill's production costs?" Yunlong casually asked the red-haired maid, who had been quietly standing behind him.
"Hmm, I'm not sure because I never count it, but it should be around one gold coin or even less." Bai Xue answered with a frown behind her veil.
"I see..." Yunlong smiled a little but didn't feel any remorse at all for these people.
The auction continued with other batches of failed beauty pills, which are still several times better than any beauty product at the moment and well sold really hard.
The auctioneer couldn't contain her smile and giggled inside her heart.
However, this wasn't the end, so she coughed a little and looked at a few satisfied female audiences.
"I will continue with the next items." She confidently said.
Yunlong yawned because the item, which got auctioned, basically didn't have any use for him, and even a few people in the hall thought the same.
"This is wasting my time! Just bring out that healing herb!" A young man angrily shouted, which caused everyone's attention to move on him.
"I didn't see any appeal of those useless beauty products! I, no, we are here only for that rumored herb!" He hastily added, and a few people nodded their heads, agreeing with his words.
'Haa, finally.' The auctioneer released a sigh inside her heart.
She had expected something like this would happen because the auction head had warned her.
"Sir, we have planned this auction and couldn't change the schedule just because you want to see the item you wanted, so please be patient." The auctioneer calmly said with a polite tone.
"Huh, Do you know who I am?" The young man furiously responded with an annoyed expression.
"I won't do that. I was you." Yunlong's voice suddenly echoed in the auction hall, which caused a few people to frown.
"What do you mean by that?" The young man moved his gaze to Yunlong's vip room.
"Because you're in the heaven dou city, and the crown prince is here," Yunlong casually answered with a lazy tone.
"You don't want to see an irritating person in your territory. Right, Prince?" He continued while looking at Qian Renxue's room.
Qian Renxue smirked a little and naturally commented, "Well, I don't want to stain my hands at the moment."
"But, if someone dares to create a problem, I won't be quiet." He confidently added, and everyone's eyes widened because the crown prince seemed to know the person in the other vip room.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Yunlong's room with a curious gaze but couldn't exactly see him, though his blue eyes seemed to flicker behind those curtains.
'Interesting, I should ask Qinghe about his friend later.' Ning Fengzhi thought.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender deeply frowned because that voice weirdly sounded familiar, like they have heard it before somewhere.
Even though it sounded familiar, both of them couldn't remember who this person was because Yunlong deliberately deepened his voice in the arena to impersonate Batman.
--- Qian Renxue's Room ---
Xue Ke looked at her brother with a surprised expression and asked, "You knew that person?"
"Hmm, you could say that person is my old acquaintance." Qian Renxue vaguely answered.
"Is that so...? I thought you don't have any friends." Xue Ke commented with a smile on her face, which caused Qian Renxue to chuckle because it's true she doesn't have any friends.
'It's not like I need useless friends, to begin with.' Qian Renxue commented because those kinds of friends are nothing but tools for her.
'As Yunlong said, the most important thing is family.' She continued while staring at Yunlong's vip room.
The auctioneer released a sigh of relief because the situation immediately became calm.
She continued the auction, and it went pretty smoothly because no one is creating problems.
'We have made a few million with these items, but now let's continue with the main item.' The auctioneer thought while moving her gaze to Xiao Xun, who had observed her from the start.
Xiao Xun nodded his head, and the auctioneer's assistant brought out a cold jade box to the stage, causing everyone to stare at it.
The box slowly opened by the assistant, and a chill aura swept the whole auction hall.
"Heh..." Yunlong looked at the jade box with an amused expression.
A black yet white grass entered everyone's view, but it wasn't a beautiful-looking grass because it looked ominous for some reason.
