Battle Through the Heavens: Dominate the World — Chapter 15

Ya Fei was currently wearing the black silk stockings and high-heeled boots Xiao Long had given her.

The people below had never seen silk stockings or high-heeled boots before.

They only felt that Ya Fei had become even more beautiful!

Some people's nostrils had already begun to leak red fluid.

Some people were about to leak silver fluid from beneath their crotches as well...

Xiao Long was utterly speechless. Was it really that exaggerated?

Ya Fei had put on those stockings right in front of him, yet he had not been nearly this excited.

If they found out that he would make Ya Fei obediently warm his bed in the future, who knew what they would think.

Xiao Long also inadvertently noticed that Xiao Zhan's eyes were sparkling with little stars...

As for Xiao Yan, a stormy sea had risen in his heart!

Weren't these stockings something that only existed on Earth? How could they exist on the Dou Qi Continent too?

Was it a coincidence, or had other people from Earth also come to the Dou Qi Continent?

Xiao Yan was filled with confusion.

Since he was staring blankly at Ya Fei's stockings, he completely failed to notice Xiao Xun'er's darkened little face beside him.

Hmph! Ya Fei, just you wait! Xiao Xun'er thought viciously.

She secretly swore that she would get herself a pair of black silk stockings just like Ya Fei's—no, countless times better than Ya Fei's!

She had to win Brother Xiao Yan's heart back!

Seeing everyone staring at Ya Fei's stockings, Xiao Long seemed to have found a way to make money.

If he sold stockings, would he make a huge profit?

A pair of stockings only cost a single Exchange Point, while one Exchange Point was worth one hundred Gold Coins.

In other words, as long as he sold them for more than one hundred Gold Coins, he would make a profit!

He could even produce stockings, earn Gold Coins, and finally exchange them for Exchange Points.

However, that was not something that could be accomplished overnight. He still needed to plan it out carefully.

His attention was now entirely on the auction!

The items at the beginning were all ordinary things that Xiao Long could not be bothered with.

Finally, two hours later, the auction reached its conclusion.

"Alright, it is now time for the final item of this auction. I believe everyone present has come for it. That's right, it is the Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Technique—Carefree Steps!"

The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and a pale green scroll appeared atop a jade tray.

"Everyone, this Mysterious-tier Dou Technique was put up for auction by a senior. Its origins are legitimate, and it will not bring any trouble. You may bid without worry." Ya Fei gently held up the green scroll with her jade-like hand and spoke with a smile.

"Miss Ya Fei, hurry up and name the price! We can't wait any longer!"

Someone below shouted impatiently. It was unclear whether he truly wanted to bid or simply wanted to attract Ya Fei's attention.

Maintaining the alluring smile on her beautiful face, Ya Fei smiled and said, "Carefree Steps, starting bid: two hundred thousand Gold Coins!"

The moment that sky-high price was announced, the venue immediately fell much quieter. Clearly, many people simply did not have the means to afford it.

In a secluded corner, a smile appeared on Xiao Long's lips.

Very good. The opening bid was two hundred thousand, so it could not be bought without at least three or four hundred thousand. Naturally, the higher the price, the more excited he became!

Xiao Zhan and the other two in the front row had their faces twitch beneath that sky-high price, but there was nothing they could do. One was willing to sell, the other willing to buy. If they did not buy it, plenty of others would. With the price starting at two hundred thousand, the atmosphere became somewhat cold.

Faced with the awkward lull, Ya Fei showed no unusual expression. Her smile remained captivating. She knew very well how alluring a Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Technique was. Some people would probably want to claim it even if it meant bankrupting themselves.

Just as she expected, the silence did not last long. A somewhat balding middle-aged man was the first to shakily call out a price. "Two hundred and ten thousand!"

Xiao Long glanced in the direction of the voice. He knew this balding middle-aged man. He was Wutan City's weapons tycoon, who had nearly monopolized weapons sales throughout Wutan City. Though his influence could not compare to the three great families, he was still an important figure in Wutan City. "Two hundred and thirty thousand!" Shortly after the middle-aged man made his bid, an elderly man in yellow followed suit. The old man was a major medicinal merchant in Wutan City, with several herb shops under his command. His wealth was considerable.

The balding middle-aged man glared fiercely at the old man before shouting again, "Two hundred and forty thousand!"

Scattered bids rang out from the venue. After all, the high price of two hundred thousand was enough to deter far too many people.

"Three hundred thousand!" When the two men at the back were already putting up a brave front, Jia Lie Bi in the first row finally spoke coldly.

The moment Jia Lie Bi named his price, the two men wilted, helplessly shook their heads, and sullenly retreated.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand!" In Wutan City, the only families capable of competing with the Jia Lie Family were the Xiao Family and the Oba Family. The one bidding now was Oba Pa, the head of the Oba Family.

Jia Lie Bi cast Oba Pa a gloomy glance and said coldly, "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

The corner of Oba Pa's eye twitched as he grinned. "Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Three hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

Faced with Oba Pa's repeated increases, Jia Lie Bi followed without hesitation, looking as though he was determined to win. When the price reached four hundred and thirty thousand, Oba Pa had no choice but to withdraw from the competition. Four hundred and thirty thousand was already enough to plunge the Oba Family into a financial crisis.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!" Before Jia Lie Bi could rejoice at Oba Pa's retreat, Xiao Zhan's calm voice made his expression darken once more.
