Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 97 Auction (3)

Hearing this, Li Muyun smiled faintly and nodded gently, revealing a calmness that was neither humble nor arrogant. His eyes met with Prince Xuexing's, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in silence.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall subtly eased and the guests' tense nerves gradually relaxed.

At this moment, a clear and magnetic voice came from the auction table, instantly attracting everyone's attention: "Dear distinguished guests, welcome to the Tiandou City Annual Auction! I am your auctioneer, Yueying. Before the auction officially begins, please allow me to express my most sincere welcome and gratitude to everyone for coming on behalf of the organizer."

As auctioneer Yueying finished his words, the lights in the hall gradually became soft and mysterious. Spotlights were accurately projected onto the auction table, illuminating the central display area like a dream.

Auctioneer Yueying was wearing a glittering long dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her light steps, as if every step was stepping on the melody of time.

She gracefully raised the golden hammer in her hand and gently drew a perfect arc in the air. In an instant, the noise in the entire hall stopped abruptly, leaving only her clear and pleasant voice echoing in the air: "First, let us reveal the first item of this auction - a storage soul guide from ancient ruins. It is said that it contains a very large space."

As auctioneer Yueying finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall was instantly ignited, and the guests' eyes were all cast on the storage soul guide shrouded in soft light in the center of the auction table. It lay quietly on a special display stand, and the ancient and mysterious patterns were looming under the light, as if it contained an ancient and powerful power.

There was a faint energy fluctuation in the air, allowing everyone present to feel the extraordinary nature of this soul guide.

Auctioneer Yueying gently lifted the silk cloth covering it, and in an instant, an even brighter light burst out from the soul guide, illuminating everything around it.

The voice of Yueying Auctioneer was particularly clear in the quiet hall: "This storage soul guide from the ancient ruins has a starting price of 200,000 gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 10,000. Everyone, please show your sincerity and strength to the fullest."

As soon as the words fell, the entire auction hall seemed to be touched by an invisible energy wave. The guests whispered to each other and talked everywhere, but more of their nervous and expectant eyes were focused on the shining soul guide.

An old man in an elegant robe, with a gleam in his eyes, raised his hand slightly, signaling the servant beside him to prepare to bid.

The attendant quickly understood and shouted, "Two hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins!"

The voice echoed in the empty hall, attracting the attention of people around.

As the old man's servant shouted out the price, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall suddenly became tense, as if even the air froze for a moment.

Then, a woman in tight combat clothes, with a slender figure and a determined light in her eyes, appeared. She tilted her head slightly and whispered a few words to the followers behind her.

The follower immediately understood, stood up, and said in a loud and confident voice: "Three hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins!"

This offer was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The guests turned their eyes to the woman, secretly speculating about her identity and background.

Auctioneer Yueying smiled faintly, her eyes wandering between the bidders, her voice still calm and elegant: "350,000 gold soul coins, is there a higher bid? This storage soul guide not only carries ancient wisdom, but also a symbol of strength and status."

After saying this, she gently swung the golden hammer in her hand, and every swing seemed to guide the desires and longings in the guests' hearts.

Zhao Tianba raised his lips in disdain, and glanced at Li Muyun with a hint of provocation in his voice: "Humph, it seems that some people are only worthy of sitting here pretending. They are reluctant to bid for the first lot. They are really 'patient'."

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the guests at the surrounding tables. A subtle smell of gunpowder filled the air. Upon hearing this, Li Muyun smiled faintly, which showed his contempt for Zhao Tianba and disdain for the secular world. He gently turned the teacup in his hand, his eyes did not move away from the auction table, and his tone was calm but with unquestionable power: "If you can do it, go ahead. Why are you barking here and disturbing the elegance of the auction? If you really have the ability, someone will see your brilliance, no need to say more."

After saying this, he took a sip of tea. His calmness seemed to isolate the hustle and bustle of the entire auction, leaving him alone to enjoy the tranquility and indifference.

When Zhao Tianba heard this, his face darkened, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He stood up suddenly, his wide robes swaying gently with his movements, like a beast about to hunt. He looked around, his voice full of unquestionable dominance: "Four hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

This shout resounded like thunder in the hall, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

His eyes were fixed on the storage soul guide on the auction table, as if it was not just an item, but the glory and dignity that he was determined to obtain.

The guests around cast glances of surprise and admiration. Zhao Tianba's voice echoed in the hall, and even the air seemed to tremble.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and each tap was accompanied by an invisible pressure, which made the atmosphere in the entire auction hall tense to the extreme again.

Li Muyun put down the teacup nonchalantly, his eyes never leaving the shining soul guide, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under control.

He opened his lips lightly, his voice not loud, but clear enough to penetrate the clamor: "Four hundred and one hundred thousand gold soul coins."

The calmness and confidence in his words made the surrounding noise seem insignificant.

Zhao Tianba's face turned pale and his eyes widened when he heard this, like an enraged lion. He slammed the table so hard that the teacup trembled slightly, and laughed in anger: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll play with you. Five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

There was an unquestionable determination in his words, as if he wanted to pour all his resentment and anger into this one bid.

The corners of Li Muyun's mouth curled up into a smile as light as the breeze, but his eyes flashed with a firmness that could not be ignored.

He stood up slowly, and an invisible aura seemed to gather quietly around him, which weakened the surrounding noise. His voice was not loud, but every word was clear, like the morning bell and evening drum, striking people's hearts: "Five hundred and ten thousand gold soul coins."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes had already passed through the crowd and met Zhao Tianba's gaze in the air. There was both indifference and challenge in his eyes. He said, "I will accompany you to the end of this game."

Seeing this, Zhao Tianba's face became even gloomier. He snorted coldly, and his chest heaved violently. It was obvious that he was completely enraged.

He stood up suddenly, his huge body oppressing the air around him like a mountain, and his voice was low and threatening: "Six hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

After saying that, he raised a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery, and said, "You, can only waste ten thousand at a time with me?"
