Chapter 388 - Auction Started
Feng Yun listened quietly, Long Yi was the first genius of Long Clan. He has a ruthless, arrogant, and domineering personality. Three years ago, he come to the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion to buy something, at that time, he saw Liu Mingxia for the first time, he was immediately attacked by her beauty. From then, he was chasing behind her. After ignoring by her few times, he gets impatient and tries to use his family background to compel her family for the marriage.
If Liu Mingxia's family was a small family, they would be happy to marry their daughter in the imperial family. But Liu Clan was a strong clan, they don't fear of or awe Long Clan.
Liu Clan's patriarch as well father of Liu Mingxia was an eccentric character, he didn't like being pressured. Furthermore, he doted on his daughter, who was blessed with intelligence and beauty. Seeing his daughter didn't agree to this marriage, he rejected Long Yi's proposal instantly.
Feng Yun nodded, Liu Mingxia's father was a good father, didn't sell her daughter's happiness for the clan's benefit.
"Well, there is still an hour before the auction starts, so you can check the list of items that are going to auction now." Liu Mingxia showed an items list to Feng Yun that was going to auction this time.
Feng Yun grabbed the catalog from her hands and started looking at the items.
There were a total of two hundred items on the list, he found two or three useful items on the list, then something caught his eyes. It was a white flower. It was a soul-strengthening flower. Feng Yun's eyes shined, he needed this flower. It could increase the soul strength of a cultivator, if Feng Yun eats this flower, he would be able to raise his soul cultivation to the Heaven Profound realm in no time.
"Feng Yun, are you interested in this flower?" Liu Mingxia seeing his staring look on the flower and asked.
"Hmm!" Feng Yun nodded.
"Oh! If I have known you need this flower, I wouldn't have put it on the auction." Liu Mingxia said.
"No problems, I will just buy from the auction." Shrugging off his shoulder, he said.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked to the stage. He had the same blue hair as Liu Mingxia but no other similar features. Even so, Liu Mingxia exclaimed, "Ah, that is my father. The auction is going to start soon."
"Oh." Feng Yun nodded, observing the guy. Unlike Liu Mingxia's cheerful personality, this person only put a strict face without any expression. Except for his power as a Late Stage of Heaven Profound Realm, Feng Yun found no other distinctive feature from him. "Is he going to host the auction?"
"Yeah. At first, we are going for the first elder, but seeing the potential of trouble, my father ends up hosting it."
Just as he arrived in the middle of the platform and began turning around to start the auction, the applause echoed. He only waved his hand around without showing any expression before asking them to stop.
After getting the attention of all people, he finally began talking.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, I am your host for today, as you might have already known, my name is Liu Jinhai. As the current patriarch of the Liu Clan, I would like to warn you before we start the auction. I am going to expel anyone that causes a ruckus in this place no matter which influence he/she has." He introduced himself with a cold tone.
The participants could not say a single thing, especially if they were not the people inside the VIP room. As for the other influences, they had known the quirk of this patriarch, so they just let this slide.
"There are two hundred items in this auction. Unless we have a bid fight, the maximum time for each item would be five minutes. And please note that this is a bidding war, not showing how prestigious your background is, so please refrain from threatening other bidders with your background. If you purposely use it to scare away other bidders, then I will recall the item and make it unsold since the price is unfair."
"I myself will ensure that your information won't be known to others. If any bidders want to pay for the items, we have a special room for you and do the transaction simultaneously. Everything in this room will be a secret, so no one would know which items you get.
"You are free to wear a mask or whatever to hide your identity too. If you don't bring a mask, just ask one of our staff around you and ask for a mask. They will give you a mask in random choice.
"One last warning, they are our staffs and protected by us. So, please refrain yourself from treating them like your sex slaves or whatever. It would mean disrespect for our Phoenix Treasure Pavilion Clan. If you can't abide by this rule, then I ask you to go out now." He stopped for a while before nodding his head, seeing no one leave. "Good. Now, I shall start the auction with the first item. Bring it in!"
"Bring it in."
After hearing the order, a beautiful assistant walked to the platform, bringing the first item. The first item was a red-colored sword containing fire energy. It was Peak-Grade Sky Ranked Weapon.
Feng Yun had no interest in that sword and whispered in her ear. "Your father... is a bit special..."
"Pfft." Liu Mingxia chuckled. "I hear that a lot."
"Even my grandfather is complaining about his attitude. Still, he is a great father, who won't sacrifice me by using a political marriage, and a great patriarch."
"Hmm... Sounds like a good father."
"Yep. I am proud of him." She smiled brightly.
Feng Yun nodded while he was charmed by her bright smile caused him to kissed her again, He was not interested in auction's items other than soul strengthening flowers, but he has lots of money on his hands right now, so he thought of buying some natural treasures that were helpful in the cultivation. He was searching for treasure to give them his future kids.
The crowd started bidding for the sword in a heated manner, one after another bid thrown by the crowd. Soon high powers also started joined the bidding.
The first ten items were all weapon which was least interested in. He plundered many weapons from the Cao Clan, so he didn't need a weapon.
Feng Yun teased Liu Mingxia to spending the time, "Sister Liu, your body is so sexy, any man's heart would bow down his head in front of your one move."
"Hehe, when did you get honeyed tongue!" Liu Mingxia giggled.
"I am just telling the truth." Feng Yun smiled lightly.
"Hehe, you are not bad either, my super handsome little brother." Liu Mingxia laughed lightly.
"Hehe, you want as she bit her lower lips seductively. Feng Yun couldn't restrain himself from kissing her juicy lips again.
"Hmm!" As soon as their lips met, Liu Mingxia took lead this time and started kissing him passionately.
Both of them forget the ongoing auction and lost in their lovely moment.
