What Could You Do in Thirty Minutes? A Staggering Starting Bid!
"... You can only be this confident when you need money," Gu Yunxiao joked.
"Snort."
Xu Jiujiu, he snorted and said Youyou, "No money is fine, just pay me with your body."
Gu Yunxiao, who was about to pay, paused, withdrew his hand, and smiled faintly, "I have no objection. Come find me tonight."
Xu Jiujiu: "..."
Uh, it seems she's gone too far.
She completely forgot that Gu Yunxiao was not someone who could joke around easily, especially in this area; he would only take it seriously.
This time, she really shot herself in the foot.
"Be careful you don't wake up tomorrow and have to withdraw from the competition." Xu Jiujiu said as she reached out to snatch the Storage Ring from Gu Yunxiao's hand.
Gu Yunxiao, however, raised his hand, deliberately teasing the princess.
Xu Jiujiu was furious, but she still braced herself against Gu Yunxiao's chest with one hand and reached for the Storage Ring on Gu Yunxiao's hand with the other.
However, no matter how many times I stood on tiptoe, I still couldn't reach it.
"You... give it to me!" Xu Jiujiu glared angrily at Gu Yunxiao.
"OK."
Looking at the beautiful face in his arms, which could be both angry and happy, Gu Yunxiao's heart stirred. He put one arm around her slender waist and kissed her delicate lips.
"Ugh!"
This left Xu Jiujiu completely stunned.
While he was still in a daze, Gu Yunxiao not only went further with his words, but also with his actions, wearing the Storage Ring on his finger for Xu Jiujiu.
However, Xu Jiujiu didn't react for Xu Jiujiu and was still in a daze.
"He... he kissed me!" When Xu Jiujiu came to her senses, she instinctively snapped angrily, "You bastard, give me back my first kiss..."
In her anger, a strange emotion welled up inside her, replacing her anger.
Xu Jiujiu wanted to push Gu Yunxiao Gu Yunxiao, but under his domineering lips and tongue, she couldn't help but wrap her arms around him and hug his neck tightly.
"I can't afford to lose out!"
Xu Jiujiu silence, he made a hesitant decision, responded awkwardly, and followed Gu Yunxiao's lead.
She already had a good impression of Gu Yunxiao, and Gu Yunxiao was innocent and pure. After the kiss, their relationship naturally progressed.
The two kissed for a long time before separating.
"You..."
She stared at Gu Yunxiao for Xu Jiujiu, her face turning red.
"The auction is about to begin, Your Highness, please prepare yourself." Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly, released his grip for Xu Jiujiu, and then left.
Watching Gu Yunxiao's retreating figure, I felt a strange sense of reluctance for Xu Jiujiu.
She couldn't help but touch her lips, then looked at the Storage Ring in her hand, and finally couldn't help but chuckle, "That rascal, he's so wicked!"
She wasn't angry at being kissed by Gu Yunxiao; instead, she felt it was a wonderful step forward in their relationship.
Perhaps, my brother is right. She's not getting any younger, and it's time for her to start dating.
"This ring..."
After staring at the ring on his finger for Xu Jiujiu, he hesitated for a moment before taking out a Storage Ring and moving the Gold Soul Coin inside to another location.
As for the one in her hand, she should keep it. It will serve as a constant reminder of what Gu Yunxiao did to her today, and that he will definitely take revenge on her severely in the future.
"There are still a few minutes left, why are you walking so fast? I'm not going to eat you... Couldn't you kiss me a little longer...?"
"And what's more, they even called her 'princess'..."
She muttered to herself for Xu Jiujiu, then took out a mirror to check her makeup, worried that some guests might notice something was off.
The only thing that needs fixing is the bright red color on her lips; retaining Gu Yunxiao's aura is fine, it's just a bit messy.
After tidying up for Xu Jiujiu, she left decisively, reverting to her 'princess' demeanor.
"Distinguished guests, the break is over. We will now begin the auction for this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, and the Level 9 Soul Tool seals it, the God Sealing Platform."
On the soul guidance screens in each room, Xu Jiujiu's figure reappeared, but unlike before, the smile on her face seemed to be gentler.
Xu Jiujiu looked... very happy?
"Yunxiao, you didn't do anything just now, did you?" Jiang Nannan asked telepathically.
"They've done everything."
"Liar! What can you two do in just thirty minutes? If you really finished quickly, would Princess Jiujiu still be standing?"
"... Nannan, you've gone astray too." Gu Yunxiao raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't it all thanks to you who taught me?" Jiang Nannan said, linking her arm with Gu Yunxiao's, Sisi smile on her face, not shy at all.
To others, she was already used to her actions of holding hands and embracing Gu Yunxiao.
Even more shameful acts, she had also displayed in front of Nan Qiuqiu and the others... But, as long as Gu Yunxiao is happy, that's all that matters.
Gu Yunxiao shook his head and smiled, then looked at Qing Ya beside him and said, "Miss Qing Ya, get ready. I'm determined to get this."
"Good!"
Qing Ya nodded, her face serious.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiujiu has announced the starting price for the embryo, "The starting price for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo is 100 million, and each bid must be at least 1 million higher!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Everyone in the various rooms gasped in shock.
The starting bid is 100 million, which should be the highest starting bid in the history of Starlight Auction House.
However, even at this price, many people still started bidding, and the 'battle' was quite fierce, with four parties competing.
The price quickly reached 120 million!
Although the speed has slowed down, it is still gradually rising, eventually reaching 130 million.
Seeing this high price, one party has already chosen to give up.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
Suddenly, one party raised the bid by 20 million.
"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"
"My God, there must be people from the Sun Moon Empire among these groups. Only those Soul Engineer are that rich!"
"Could that person who practically booked the entire venue be from the Sun Moon Empire?"
"That's possible!"
Everyone in the rooms was in shock.
"This thing... I must get it!" In a VIP room, Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists, his eyes red, and he was extremely excited.
Although they knew this might be a trap set by the Star Luo Empire, no one could resist the allure of Twin Martial Souls.
"Brother..." Meng Hongchen, standing behind him, looked at the scene with a sense of helplessness.
Although she also longed for Twin Martial Souls, she wasn't as quick to lose her mind as Xiao Hongchen, whose expression resembled that of a gambler in a frenzy.
The price of 150 million was fixed, and it seemed that no one could compete with it.
Just when Xiao Hongchen thought everything was settled, a nightmarish number popped up.
Two hundred million Gold Soul Coin!
"BOOM!!!"
In an instant, everyone in the room stared blankly at the numbers on the screen in disbelief.
Two... two hundred million Gold Soul Coin!!!
My goodness, they're so rich, they must be from the Sun Moon Empire!
"Two... two hundred million..." Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened, his mind went blank, and he staggered back a few steps, deeply shocked.
If it's just an extra ten million or twenty million, he can still grit his teeth and go for it.
However, the other party directly raised the price by 50 million, which clearly meant: those who want to bid can continue, I have plenty of money.
