Chapter 329 It seems, more than that?
The private room was closed and secluded, so they took off their masks and removed their disguises after entering.
Now her snow-white hair hangs down her neck, her exquisitely beautiful face is close to her ear, and her watery eyes are looking at him lovingly. From his angle, he can clearly see the light in her eyes, the flickering narrow and clean feathers, and the pale pink lips under her slightly upturned nose.
Qin Xiao was held in his arms in an intimate posture, but the words he heard had an inexplicable sour taste.
Mo Hanyu curled his lips, somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Xiao's distraction, and pinched the soft flesh on his waist through his clothes: "What are you thinking about? You haven't responded for a long time."
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao's body suddenly stiffened, and at the same time, he slightly bent his waist and dodged his hand: "Don't, don't do this..."
Mo Hanyu's eyes darkened instantly, his breathing suddenly became heavier, and his arms tightened even more, almost trying to embed Qin Xiao into his body.
"What are you doing?" Qin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, patted the arm around his waist and said.
Mo Hanyu pursed his lips, his strength slightly loosening, but he still held him: "I'm asking you a question, what are you looking at? You look so focused."
"Of course, to see the auction items in the stands." Qin Xiao was a little puzzled. He pulled his hand away, got out of his arms, and moved to the side so that he could better see the scene below.
"Hmm... that technique is quite valuable."
Wang Xuyi suddenly sighed. Qin Xiao looked over and saw the price of a wind-based technique scroll soar to tens of millions. He couldn't help but purse his lips and frown.
In addition to the soft and comfortable sofas in the private room, there are also several bottles of fruit wine on the table, which tastes very fragrant. There is also an ice maker on the side, so you can add some ice cubes according to your taste.
Qin Xiao only poured himself a glass of water. Mo Hanyu was puzzled by his concern for the auction, but did not ask any questions.
A cold touch suddenly came from the side of his face. The wall of the cup gently touched Qin Xiao's face, and the water droplets on it fell onto his cheek, melting into a water stain, which adhered to the side of Qin Xiao's face with a cool feeling and was quickly wiped away.
"What are you doing?" Qin Xiao was suddenly struck by the cold and looked at the culprit.
"Seeing you're so focused, let me distract you for a moment." Mo Hanyu sat beside him, holding the cup and handed it to him, "Take a couple of sips."
Qin Xiao took it and took a sip. The ice water passed through his burning mouth, slid across his dry throat, and fell into his internal organs, bringing a touch of coolness to his heart.
"We agreed to come here for a date...why do you seem attracted to it?" Mo Hanyu lowered his eyelashes, leaned gently on the soft backrest of the sofa, and said softly.
"The two are not contradictory." Qin Xiao noticed that he was in a bad mood, put down his water cup and moved closer. "Unhappy?"
"No." Mo Hanyu glanced at him and curled his lips slightly, "How could it be."
Qin Xiao glanced at Wang Xuyi and saw that he was completely absorbed in the auction below. He then quietly took Mo Hanyu's hand, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Don't be angry, okay?"
Mo Hanyu suddenly thought of the scene after the kiss yesterday, and the hoarse voice also penetrated into his ears.
There was a gentle caress on the back of his hand. When he thought of the hand that had touched the back of his neck yesterday, the warm and rough fingertips rubbing the smooth skin on the back of his neck, that burning sensation -
Qin Xiao didn't know what Mo Hanyu was thinking, and watched him blush.
Qin Xiao:……?
Mo Hanyu's face flushed. Facing Qin Xiao's puzzled eyes, she turned her head away and coughed twice as if to cover up her mistake. She pursed her thin lips and looked very beautiful.
Qin Xiao's eyes darkened, and he leaned closer and closer. His breath was even warm when it touched her earlobe: "Don't show this look casually."
"W-what does it look like?"
Qin Xiao gently lifted the hair that was hanging on his face, smiled inexplicably, and did not answer.
Mo Hanyu was puzzled and wanted to ask again. But Qin Xiao turned around and gently pinched his face: "Keep watching."
After saying that, he turned back seriously and looked at the auction table below.
Mo Hanyu was dissatisfied and stared at Qin Xiao silently, trying to protest in this way. Qin Xiao ignored him, and Mo Hanyu was distracted again as he watched.
Qin Xiao was dressed differently from yesterday, a white shirt with a black jacket. It was clearly just an ordinary outfit, but in Mo Hanyu's eyes, it was exceptionally outstanding. The collar of his shirt was open to his collarbone, revealing the ravine of his chest.
The white shirt hung down softly, with folds of varying lengths faintly outlining the curve of the waist and abdomen. The fingers with distinct bones were lightly placed on the belt, and the cold metallic light of the waist buckle gave it an inexplicable sexiness.
Mo Hanyu swallowed unconsciously, his eyes slowly moving upwards. Qin Xiao didn't notice, still tilting his head and looking down, as if something was on his mind.
Mo Hanyu tentatively reached out his hand and touched the flexible waist a few times. Seeing that there was no reaction, he bravely rested his head on it and hugged her.
His head rested on her soft waist, and the warm breath seeped through his clothes, reddening his face. Mo Hanyu pursed his lips. In order to prevent Qin Xiao from noticing his abnormality, he even mobilized his attributes to forcibly suppress the blush on his face, allowing his whole body to regain composure.
At this moment, Qin Xiao suddenly lowered his hand, first rubbed his hair, touched his cheek, then slid along his skin to the back of his neck, stroking it intermittently.
He could feel that Qin Xiao was using the hand with the ring. The warm metallic sensation slid along his palm, and the warmth seeped into his skin continuously, nourishing his meridians and making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to stretch out and relax.
Mo Hanyu narrowed his eyes slightly. Qin Xiao's touch brought him great pleasure. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the tranquility.
Qin Xiao looked at the field, and after seeing a jade bracelet engraved with ancient Chinese characters, he finally saw the ring he wanted.
The lowest bid was 10,000 gold coins, but the starting price alone reached 20 million.
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, his fingers bent unconsciously, and his nails poked Mo Hanyu's neck, causing people to stand up and look at him, but he himself had no reaction.
With repeated bids, the transaction price soon reached 50 million.
"Fifty-five million." As a masked man raised the sign again, Qin Xiao clenched his fingers and frowned.
"Fifty-five million and one hundred thousand."
A woman below was holding a sign, and when she saw the masked man looking back at her, she smiled at him politely.
"Number 72, ! Is there a higher price?"
As the auctioneer's voice sounded, Mo Hanyu also sat up from Qin Xiao's arms, slightly supported his chin, and raised his eyebrows with interest.
"If I remember correctly, this is the fifth time that number 72 has only increased by ."
"Yeah, it's always just around the corner." Wang Xuyi nodded in agreement. "That's really interesting."
"Fifty-seven million!"
Someone in the room spoke again soon, looking at the woman as he spoke.
The woman remained motionless. "Fifty-seven million and one hundred thousand."
Wang Xuyi started to laugh: "Is she going to keep adding like this?"
"Are you playing a trick on those people?" Mo Hanyu guessed, crossing his arms.
Qin Xiao glanced at him secretly and said nothing.
"Sixty million!"
"Six thousand and ten thousand."
"..."
"How long can this be extended?" Wang Xuyi said with a smile.
Seeing that Qin Xiao hadn't spoken, Mo Hanyu leaned over and asked him, "What do you think?"
Qin Xiao glanced at him and avoided his gaze: "Maybe... he just wants to save money."
"Oh?" Wang Xuyi raised his eyebrows. "That's very interesting."
What's interesting about this...
Qin Xiao secretly complained and clenched his fists.
The woman holding the sign number 72 was from the auction house. He had previously asked the auction house to find someone to attend the auction on his behalf and asked to buy the ring. He only needed to add a minimum bid to the transaction amount each time - that is, gold coins - he really didn't want to pay a penny more.
In order to get a spot, he took out a few unmarked pills and had them verified. Now it depends on how much those pills are worth...
Hopefully not too little.
Qin Xiao was worried, but fortunately he was very good at concealing his emotions and it didn't show on his face at all.
The transaction price increased several times. Perhaps the guest who was bidding against the woman was really tired, or perhaps he felt it was not worth it, so it finally stopped at 101 million.
...a sky-high price.
Qin Xiao felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He couldn't help but close his eyes, stretched out his long arms to hug Mo Hanyu beside him, and buried his head in his arms.
"...What's wrong?" Mo Hanyu was stunned, then stroked his hair and asked softly, "Are you tired of watching?"
"How is it possible..." Qin Xiao shook his head, took a deep breath of the cool air around him, paused for a moment, and sat up straight, "Let's continue watching."
Mo Hanyu was puzzled, but seeing that he seemed to have recovered, he gently held his hand and said, "If you have any trouble, you can tell me."
"I know." Qin Xiao clenched his fingers, feeling the breath he exhaled was filled with the scent of money. "Don't worry, it's okay."
One hundred million...
Qin Xiao turned around and continued to look in the direction of the auction table, but there was no light in his eyes. He watched numbly as one item after another was auctioned off.
The auction was divided into two rounds. After the first half, Mo Hanyu and Wang Xuyi went out to eat something. When they invited Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao was silent for two seconds and refused.
Wang Xuyi and Mo Hanyu looked at each other, neither of them understood what was wrong with Qin Xiao.
"What's wrong with him? He was fine just now." Wang Xuyi whispered to Mo Hanyu as soon as he went out.
"I don't know." Mo Hanyu was also curious. He glanced at the closed private room and frowned slightly.
The competition in the second half was far more intense than the first half, so intense that it even brought Qin Xiao, who was immersed in his own world, back to his senses and couldn't help but be amazed.
"I didn't expect... there are so many rich people." Qin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Hanyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that: "It doesn't necessarily have to be about money."
"Huh?" Qin Xiao turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Seeing that Qin Xiao finally took the trouble to look at him, Mo Hanyu couldn't help but smile happily: "As long as the value is higher than or equal to the transaction price, it's all fine."
"Yes, there have been transactions involving entire jade veins before." Wang Xuyi, upon hearing this, also chimed in, saying, "As long as the seller agrees, anything is possible."
"I remember there were even lower prices." Wang Xuyi nodded his chin and recalled, "Yes, someone once used two Seventh Rank Gold Vein Pills to offset a product worth 150 million."
Qin Xiao nodded thoughtfully without saying anything.
Qin Xiao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the second half passed much faster than the first half. Perhaps it was because many things were directly brought to the top, and not added bit by bit like in the first half.
"It seems that everyone is very decisive when it comes to what they want." Wang Xuyi laughed.
Qin Xiao didn't say anything, but was a little confused.
Why haven’t I seen his pills yet?
He initially thought it was scheduled for the first half, and thought that this way he would know how much money he needed to pay, but he didn't expect to see it until near the end.
"...This is the last lot of this auction, please take a close look at it——"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the auctioneer finally presented the last item - a square box covered with a red cloth.
The auctioneer pulled back the red cloth, revealing the exquisite octagonal coiled dragon fragrance box inside. He gently opened the box, and an enchanting elixir fragrance emanated from it, instantly filling the venue. Even Wang Xuyi and the others who were blocked by Qi devices above could smell this strange elixir fragrance.
Wang Xuyi's pupils shrank: "This is——!"
"Everyone, the three elixirs here are flawless elixirs, perfect to the point of being flawless. I'm sure some of the distinguished guests here have already recognized their identities."
"But please don't be anxious. Let me explain it to you in detail. This is the Xuanpo Pill. It not only has the effect of eliminating inner demons and curing all poisons, but simply carrying it on your body can resist all poisons in the world. It can also bring Qi cultivators who are turning evil back on track. It ranks first among the purification-type pills."
"After our observation and research, we have found that these three are all at the peak of the Tenth Turn. There is no other in the world that can surpass them."
"This pill is the Guiyuan Pill, which can restore a person to peak condition within three breaths. No matter what realm or state, even a dying Qi cultivator in the Heavenly Realm, once consumed, they will be able to return to their peak state—without any side effects, and can even extend their lifespan by 200 years. It's no less effective than the peak healing Yusheng Pill."
"This last one is Xi'e Dan. And after verification by us, this pill is of the thunder element—"
This time, before the auctioneer even finished speaking, it caused an uproar.
"...What's wrong?" Qin Xiao didn't quite understand.
"The Xi'e Pill is a medicinal pill that can absorb and release energy, usually used for attacking," Mo Hanyu told him. "Anyone who possesses this pill can use it to absorb as much energy as possible before a fight. During combat, they can throw it at the enemy or absorb it themselves. It has many uses."
"Xi'e Pills are divided into different categories, just like our attributes. The most special one is the thunder category." Mo Hanyu looked at him and said, "Because the thunder category can absorb heavenly tribulations."
Qin Xiao's pupils shrank and he was also very shocked.
"Of course, if the quality of the elixir is not good enough, it's impossible, and it may even backfire... But judging by the one on the auction table, it should be able to absorb the five lightning tribulations of the Heavenly Realm."
"As for the Earth Realm, it shouldn't be a problem at all."
After Mo Hanyu finished speaking, Qin Xiao was silent for a long time.
"Who is this seller? Why is he willing to spend such a large sum of money?" Wang Xuyi asked curiously.
Qin Xiao looked at the pills on the table and slowly stroked his forehead.
This kind of thing...why had he never known about it?
At this moment, Qin Xiao extremely regretted that he had not carefully read the instructions of those pills before.
He originally thought these items would only be worth a few million at best, but considering today's auction, the price should be inflated to over a thousand. Judging by the reaction from the crowd...
It seems, more than that?
