King's Landing

"Great! It's now at 10,000 taels. This prince is no longer going to bid. Everyone who's interested should seize this opportunity. Acquiring a good space ring depends on chance. If anyone can go higher than 10,000 taels, please raise your card. After three calls, if no one offers a higher price, the Star Soul Ring will be awarded to the highest bidder.

As the steward finished speaking, the audience fell silent. Earning 10,000 taels of silver is no easy task, and although the space ring is highly valuable, many people were weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.

Su Zimo's eyes gleamed with cunning. She had caught Mu Yunxuan's attention, and Jun Lintian, being a prominent figure among the princes in Haoyue Kingdom, had a narrow mind and a competitive nature. What he desires, he must obtain, especially in front of others. It wouldn't be suitable if it were someone else.

A moment later, "Congratulations to the highest bidder for acquiring the Star Soul Ring. Please prepare your silver tickets, and we will deliver it according to the rules."

"King Ben is ready. This Star Soul Ring is for King Ben's future princess, Su Ziyun," Jun Lintian stood up, forcing a smile as he said something against his will. If he had already seen through the intentions of the owner of Mingyue Mountain Villa, he wouldn't have made this move. His two silver taels were hard-earned.

"Excellent! The three princes are bold," some people in the crowd applauded.

Some women looked at Su Ziyun enviously.

Su Ziyun smiled sweetly, nestled in Jun Lintian's arms like a little bird. At this moment, her eyes seemed distant, as if she were on cloud nine.

Hearing the compliments from others, Jun Lintian felt slightly better. At least he saved face in front of others, and it improved his prestige in Haoyue Country.

"Now, for the final treasure of the auction, the prized Silver Grass. There are a total of three. Its efficacy goes without saying, as everyone knows. The starting price is five thousand taels of silver."

As soon as the steward's words ended, the impatient people started bidding one after another.

"Six thousand taels."

"Seven thousand taels."

"Eight thousand taels."

The bidding continued without interruption, and the prices kept rising.

"Momo, even though the starting price is only five thousand taels, the final price could reach millions of taels. Two years ago, I heard it was sold for three million taels. We only brought 25,000 taels of silver. How much do you have?" He Yunting whispered, but his expectations were not met.

"I only have 10 taels of silver with me," Su Zimo replied calmly.

He Yunting's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "Momo, are you joking? Didn't you just say you had enough? How could you have only 10 taels?" He Yunting looked at Su Zimo with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth.

"That was to give you confidence and deceive Jun Lintian. I didn't want him to see through our plans. Do you think I have a pile of money here? It's all been used to build Bright Moon Villa and buy shops. The silver tickets you have are all my assets. If you run away, I'll be left with only ten taels of silver," Su Zimo explained nonchalantly, making He Yunting feel exasperated.

"So, should we not buy the Silver Grass then? What about Xin'er?" He Yunting suddenly felt the urge to cry. What kind of master was he dealing with?

"We must buy the Silver Grass. Just wait and see the price. As for the silver tickets...," Su Zimo glanced towards the second floor and briefly looked at He Yunting.

He Yunting's heart instantly raced. Who could be on the second floor?

"Of course."

"Momo, are you kidding? If we can't get the silver tickets, we'll be in trouble. You know the rules of this auction house," He Yunting wanted to cry but had no tears. With a bitter face, he wondered how he ended up in such a situation.

"When did you become so fearful? Show some courage like you did at the border," Su Zimo's face beneath the mask frowned slightly.

"Alright, alright, I'll fight for Xin'er," He Yunting reluctantly agreed, wearing a look of sacrifice.

Meanwhile, the price of the Silver Grass had risen to forty thousand taels.

But the bidding continued, getting higher and higher. Ling Qiushui kept a close eye on the situation at Su Zimo's side. Today, she wanted the entire Haoyue Country to know that she is Mu Yunxuan's future wife.

In the psychedelic forest, Su Zie had a bloody face as he lay on the ground, gasping for air.

Not far away, the corpse of the Soul Devouring Thunder Shadow Lion Demon Beast lay motionless. It had already been killed.

"Qi'er, are you alright?" Su Lifei landed in front of her younger brother, holding a turquoise Soul Devouring Thunder Shadow Demon Beast's spar in her hand. She looked at her brother, whose face was covered in blood, with deep concern.

"Phew...!" Su Qi exhaled heavily, wanting to regain his strength as quickly as possible. This had been his most exhausting experience.

"Brother, we really walked into the lion's mouth this time and almost got devoured by that Soul Devouring Thunder Shadow Lion Demon Beast," Su Qi said.

Upon hearing this, Su Li smiled, knowing that his younger brother was fine.

"You! Never run away when you encounter something stronger than yourself. Today, our brothers joined forces and managed to outsmart and kill a divine beast-level magical beast. Here, this is your reward. Integrate this divine beast-level Warcraft spar into your dantian, and your cultivation will advance to the first level."

"Brother, you should use it! Qi'er can advance to the first level using pills. It is said that the credit for killing this divine beast-level magical beast goes to you, and as the young master of Mingyue Villa, my cultivation should not be inferior to others to protect our home," Su Qi said, his bloody face showing determination in his gem-like black eyes.

"Alright then!" Su Li put away the Warcraft spar. "Let's go and check if that person over there is still alive. We can't form a contract with the Warcraft here. Another day, when I take you to the Returnless Yanshan Mountain, I'll find a contractable Warcraft for you."

Su Li extended his hand to pull Su Qi, and the two brothers walked towards a man in white not far away.

"Brother, he's still alive, but he's in critical condition," Su Qi checked the white-clothed man's breath and reported.

"Qi'er, save him. After all, it was our fault that we stumbled upon him," Su Li frowned. Someone who managed to break in here couldn't be an ordinary person.

"Brother, I'll give him a pill first, and we can take him back to the villa," Su Qi said. He didn't want to stay here after encountering a divine beast-level Demon Beast. He was exhausted.

"Bringing him back won't hurt..."

In the auction house, the price of the Silver Grass had soared to 500,000 taels. However, the number of people raising their cards and bidding was decreasing, with only four or five remaining.
