"Forty thousand Gold Soul Coin!" A clear, cold female voice came from another private room. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but only saw the tightly closed door of the private room, which exuded mystery.
Bidding echoed one after another, and the price soared. "Sixty-five thousand Gold Soul Coin!" "Seventy thousand Gold Soul Coin!" The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and many people had beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they still refused to give up.
Just then, in the white area, Yu Tianheng slightly raised his hand, pressed the starting button, and bid 85,000 Gold Soul Coin!
This offer brought a brief silence to the room.
Seeing this Ning Fengzhi chuckled and asked, "Young man, you must be quite wealthy. I reckon you've spent over ten thousand Gold Soul Coin tonight."
"Why don't you let me have this necklace? I can buy one to make my daughter happy."
Yu Tianheng smiled and waved his hand in refusal, "I'm sorry, I plan to buy it to please my fiancée, I don't intend to give it to you, sir. I'm sorry."
Yu Tianheng's words were not an excuse, but the truth. In the past year, he had been busy with cultivation and had neglected Dugu Yan. Although she was sensible and did not show it, Yu Tianheng could sense that she was indeed a little unhappy.
So he decided to buy the gemstone necklace and give it to Dugu Yan to appease her.
What woman doesn't love jewelry?
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi said no more and began bidding.
"Ninety thousand Gold Soul Coin!"
Then, Ning Fengzhi looked at Yu Tianheng and said, "If you intend to bid again, then this gemstone necklace will be yours."
Yu Tianheng clasped his hands in a respectful bow, "Then thank you very much."
He then pressed the button to increase the price by 10,000 Gold Soul Coin, bidding 100,000 Gold Soul Coin.
This price was like a bombshell, leaving everyone gasping in shock.
The auctioneer waved his arms excitedly. "One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin once! One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin twice!" His gaze swept across the room, and seeing no one else bidding, he slammed down his gavel. "Sold! Congratulations to the mysterious guest in the white area!"
A wave of shock swept through the room.
Everyone was curious about who this person sitting in the white area was. They were clearly so rich, yet they didn't go to the higher-level areas, but instead stayed in the most ordinary auction area.
But considering that there are all sorts of strange people in this world, and perhaps this person simply prefers to keep a low profile, I decided not to interfere further.
The auction continues.
The items sold afterward were all flashy but impractical antiques and paintings, which were auctioned off to several wealthy nobles and tycoons. Yu Tianheng did not bid at all.
Just then, the auctioneer, with a smile on his face, announced loudly to all the guests attending the auction, "Next, we will be auctioning a rare and exquisite item, extremely rare to see. You will regret it if you miss it."
After he finished speaking, he gestured to the audience, and three burly men immediately pushed a cart up.
The cart was covered with a red cloth, so you couldn't see what was inside, but from its shape, it looked like a large square box.
The auctioneer tore off the red cloth covering the box.
There, a young girl was seen huddled inside.
"This is a catwoman. She mutated when her Martial Soul Awakening, gaining some feline characteristics. She has heterochromatic eyes and a tail, making her quite charming."
"To have a catwoman like that as a pet would be an unparalleled pleasure."
"Distinguished guests, the starting bid for this catgirl is 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. Each bid must be at least 10,000 gold soul coins higher. The bidding will now begin."
Upon hearing this, all the guests in the auction house turned their attention to her, and after seeing the catwoman's appearance with their own eyes, they all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
"Absolutely top-notch! Truly top-notch!"
"I want this catwoman. Anyone who tries to take her from me, don't blame me for turning on them!"
For these wealthy and powerful people present, they had seen many beautiful women, but this was the first time they had ever seen such an extraordinary beauty as Catwoman. It would be a real pity to miss it.
So they all started bidding.
Inside the red auction area, Prince Xue Xing was tempted upon seeing the catwoman. His face showed greed, and he planned to spend money to buy the catwoman and take her back to train her properly.
He glanced disdainfully at the crowd vying for the prize, and sneered, "A bunch of lowly commoners, daring to compete with me, truly overestimating themselves."
"Go! Offer 170,000! I want to buy this catwoman. Let's see who dares to compete with me!"
The bidding stopped abruptly when Prince Xue Xing offered 170,000 Gold Soul Coin.
The people around him were all top nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they all knew each other well. After seeing Prince Xue Xing showing his determination to have this cat girl, they all became aware of the situation.
They dared not argue anymore, not because they couldn't afford the money, but because it wasn't worth offending the Imperial Prince for a woman; it was simply not worth it.
"Hahaha." Upon seeing this, Prince Xue Xing began to laugh wildly.
But in the next moment, someone offered 180,000 Gold Soul Coin.
The person who made the bid was Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who was located in the white area.
Prince Xue Xing roared in fury, "You bastard! Which blind fool dares to try and steal from me? Are you tired of living?!"
But when he stood up and looked back, he saw Ning Fengzhi's figure, and immediately shut his mouth and obediently sat back down in his original seat.
Although Ning Fengzhi was not a nobleman of the empire, he was the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, one of the Upper Three Sects. His sect had two Titled Douluo- level experts, and he was incredibly wealthy. Even Xue Ye treated him with respect and dared not offend him. Now, he had become the Crown Prince's teacher, making his status even more prestigious.
As a result, even Prince Xue Xing dared not offend Ning Fengzhi.
"180,000 Gold Soul Coin once, 180,000 Gold Soul Coin twice, is there anyone else offering a higher price? If not, then this item belongs to the distinguished guest in the white area," the auctioneer shouted.
The surroundings were quiet, and no one dared to raise the price any further.
Because the powerful and influential people present recognized the middle-aged man after seeing his appearance, they were unwilling to offend him over such a trivial matter, and therefore none of them were willing to make a bid.
Just when everyone thought that Ning Fengzhi would finally acquire this rare and exquisite "Catwoman" piece, another person made a bid, pressing the bid-increasing button twice to 10,000 Gold Soul Coin.
Bid 200,000 Gold Soul Coin!
This person was Yu Tianheng, who was sitting next to Ning Fengzhi.
However, he is currently wearing a mask, so no one can know his true identity.
But that couldn't stop others from being curious about him.
"Who is this guy? He's got guts! He actually dares to compete with Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He's like a newborn calf that's not afraid of a tiger."
"Who says otherwise? Even Prince Xue Xing didn't dare to utter a sound, but this kid dared to bid. I bet he's been blinded by the catwoman's beauty. This is going to be good."
Within the white area, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly as he looked at Yu Tianheng, but he saw no lewdness in his eyes, only calmness.
