Ye Ningshuang froze, like a startled fawn. Her eyes widened instantly as she looked at Su Chen, her gaze filled with astonishment and panic. A Hong Yun spread across her cheeks, like the sunset on the horizon.
"What... what are you doing?" Her voice trembled slightly, her expression shy, and she tried to break free, but Su Chen held her tightly, and she couldn't escape at all.
Su Chen laughed and said, "Is there a problem with me hugging my fiancée?"
Ye Ningshuang opened her mouth slightly, as if to say something, but after a long while, she couldn't utter a single word. She could only stare blankly at Su Chen, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and helplessness. In the end, she could only give in and let Su Chen hold her.
If Ye Lan were to see this scene, I wonder what he would think.
At the same time, with a crisp gong sound, dazzling lights focused on the center of the auction hall, making the already magnificent display stand even more radiant.
All eyes turned to him, and Human Heart was filled with tension and anticipation.
"I heard that the items to be auctioned this time are quite extraordinary."
Do you have any simple items at Jiade's auction?
"Um... I guess so."
As the crowd whispered amongst themselves, a woman slowly walked onto the stage. She wore a flowing, shimmering purple dress, her skirt billowing as if she were one with Immortal Qi. She stood gracefully, her figure elegant and poised. Her oval face was exquisitely beautiful, with exquisite lines, and her skin was as smooth and warm as mutton-fat jade. Her entire demeanor was noble and sacred, making her seem unworthy of deference.
The woman's appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone present; as if under a spell, everyone was unable to look away.
One man remarked instinctively, "So... so beautiful."
"Hello everyone, my Yafu, and I will be conducting today's auction." The woman's slightly upturned lips carried a subtle smile, captivating the hearts of everyone present.
Someone then asked with a smile, " Miss Yafu, do you dao companion?"
Yafu smiled slightly, "Not yet."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately asked, "How am I?"
Yafu looked apologetic. "I'm sorry."
"Hahaha, look at yourself! No wonder Miss Yafu would never be interested in you."
"Yes, and even if Miss Yafu were to find dao companion, how could it be your turn?"
"If you ask me, the only ones worthy of Miss Yafu are the holy sons and divine Divine Son of powerful forces. We have no chance."
Hearing the laughter around him, the man's face flushed red. Although he was very angry, he held back, after all, this was not a suitable occasion for arguing.
Inside the private room, Ye Ningshuang glanced at Su Chen Su Chen and noticed that he was currently sizing up Miss Yafu.
A pang of jealousy shot through Ye Ningshuang's heart, and she asked, "Is it pretty?"
Su Chen withdrew his gaze, looked at Ye Ningshuang, shook his head and smiled, "Not good-looking."
"Hehe."
Ye Ningshuang sneered, "Then why were you watching so intently?"
Su Chen blinked. "Really? I don't think so?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "Keep pretending, keep pretending."
Su Chen stared into Ye Ningshuang's eyes and said seriously, "I already have you, why would I have designs on others? I was just thinking about Miss Yafu's identity, because I felt that she was not simple."
Ye Ningshuang's heart raced under Su Chen's gaze, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Really... really?"
Su Chen said solemnly, "I swear!"
Seeing Su Chen's seriousness, Ye Ningshuang bit her lip lightly and finally said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once."
Su Chen smiled. "My Ning Ningshuang is so wonderful."
Ye Ningshuang glared at Su Chen, then said shyly, "I... we're not married yet!"
Su Chen, shameless as ever, said, "Isn't it just a matter of time?"
Ye Ningshuang was speechless, having nothing to say.
It has to be said that Su Chen is quite skilled at flirting; I wonder where he learned it from.
At the same time, Yafu said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain quiet. The auction is about to begin."
The previously restless crowd instantly fell silent.
Slap! Slap!
Yafu clapped her hands.
Immediately afterwards, a young girl walked onto the stage, holding a mysterious object covered with a red cloth.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mysterious object covered by a red cloth, filled with curiosity.
Yafu looked at everyone and smiled, "I'm sure you're all very curious about this item, aren't you?"
As she spoke, she reached out and removed the red cloth, revealing a long sword in everyone's sight.
The sword gleamed with a cold, sharp light, as if it could easily cleave through anything in the world. Two dazzling gemstones were inlaid in the hilt, emitting a faint glow and adding a touch of nobility to the sword.
Yafu explained, "This sword was crafted by Master Xu. I don't need to elaborate on its value; everyone here understands, right?"
"Master Xu? Is it Master Xu Hua?"
"Absolutely! This sword is clearly extraordinary. Who else but Master Xu Hua could have forged it?"
" Xu Hua, he's the most skilled weapon refiner in our Human Domain. It's said that every weapon he forges is so sought after that major powers fight over it."
"I never expected that today's auction would include a weapon forged by Master Xu; it's truly unexpected."
" Jiade truly lives up to its reputation as the premier auction house. The very first item up for auction is already so valuable; it's hard to imagine how amazing the rest will be."
"I can't wait any longer, Miss Yafu, please name your price!"
"I must have this sword!"
Seeing the excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd below, Yafu couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "The starting bid for this sword is ten thousand top-grade immortal crystals!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Holy crap! The starting bid is so high!"
"That's normal, after all, it's a sword forged by Master Xu."
"Eleven thousand top-grade immortal crystals!"
"Twelve thousand top-grade immortal crystals!"
"Fifteen thousand top-grade immortal crystals!"
Some people in the audience have already started making bids.
Inside the private room, Su Chen examined the sword with great interest.
Ye Ningshuang asked, "What? Are you interested in this sword?"
Su Chen laughed and said, "Are you going to help me get it? It's very expensive."
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes, but said, "I do have a little money. If you like, I'll buy it for you."
Su Chen gave a thumbs up and smiled, "As expected of my fiancée, you're so generous!"
Ye Ningshuang gave a light snort, but a smile played on her lips. "I'm in a good mood. Do you want it or not? If you do, I'll make an offer."
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No need. I'm not interested in this sword. Right now, I'm only interested in the person who forged it."
He looked at Ye Ningshuang and smiled, "The weapon-refining master you're going to introduce to me, it wouldn't happen to be that Xu Hua, would it?"
Ye Ningshuang smiled. "Sorry, you guessed wrong."
