Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

"Dear guests, this is one of the most precious treasures of the mermaids - the Mermaid's Tears," the host began to introduce again. "I'm sure everyone knows how precious the Mermaid's Tears are, but most of the guests here may not know its value."

He paused for a moment, arousing everyone's curiosity and expectations, and then continued:

"Mermaid's tears are an excellent medicinal ingredient."

"It can cure all kinds of poisons and diseases."

After the words were spoken, the people in the audience could no longer hold back.

"Is it really that magical?"

"It's not certain that the treasure of the mermaid clan really has this effect. Isn't it more effective than thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus?"

"Since you dare to auction it, it must be real, right?"

……

Seeing that everyone was more and more interested in the mermaid's tears, the host dropped another bombshell: "Not only that, the mermaid's tears have another most important effect, which is to prolong life."

"It is said that a mermaid tear can extend the life of the person who consumes it by a hundred years."

“One hundred years!!”

After these words were spoken, everyone was so shocked that they could no longer describe it.

Even the distinguished guests in the boxes all fixed their eyes on the mermaid's tear in the center.

How long is their human lifespan?

Except for a very small number of practitioners, most humans can live to be a hundred years old, which is considered a long life. And this mermaid's tear can allow them to live another hundred years.

Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators would probably not let go of such a treasure that can prolong life.

"Ten billion!"

Before the host even announced the start of the auction, some people couldn't wait to bid, and the first price they opened was a high price of tens of billions.

"Twenty billion!"

"Thirty billion!"

……

The auction outside was in full swing. Inside the box, Lan Qian couldn't help but frowned slightly after listening to the host's introduction.

"Tuanzi, does the mermaid's tears really have this effect?"

[Wait a moment, host,] Xiaotuanzi flipped through the plot for a while, [The original plot did not clearly mention the role of mermaid tears, but in the later period when the male protagonist was injured and poisoned, the mermaid tears were mentioned in the prescription for detoxification.]

[That was also the only time that the Mermaid's Tears appeared. ]

But the only time it appeared was when the heroine was looking at the prescription. The words flashed by among the dozen or so medicinal ingredients. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.

"It seems that mermaid tears do have the effect of detoxification, but whether it is really that magical is unknown."

【Yes host. 】

But no matter whether it is true or false, once the news gets out, the mermaids will most likely be captured in large numbers.

Thinking of this, Lan Qian’s brows tightened a little.

The dwarves, orcs, and mermaids were able to gather all the treasures and rare items from various races. The story behind this auction must not be simple, but this auction was only mentioned briefly in the plot.

"Miss Blue?"

Mo Chen's gentle voice came to my ears.

Lan Qian raised her eyes and realized that he had been staring at her.

"What's wrong with you? Are you worried about the future of the mermaids?" His eyebrows were gentle, and a trace of worry appeared on his handsome and perfect face. "This is the first time I know that mermaid tears can prolong life. If the news is true, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Human life span is not as long as that of other races.

This is their disadvantage.

Now that there is a way to prolong life, I am afraid that most people will become greedy, not to mention those who are already evil-minded.

"Mo Chen, do you know who is holding this auction?"

Lan Qian wanted to find clues at the auction.

The people behind this auction are probably closely related to those people in the original plot who want to exterminate other races. As long as this force is destroyed, others will not be able to achieve anything even if they are willing.

After all, the human race has always been the weakest.

Hearing this, Mo Chen rubbed the hand holding the teacup slightly.

He said gently:

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"But Qianqian, don't worry too much," he comforted her, "The mermaids live deep in the sea, and they have defenses and magic weapons left over from thousands of years ago. With the current strength of humans, it won't be easy even if they want to do anything."

What's more, the mermaids also have cultivators.

"Yeah, I know that too."

Compared to the mermaid in the deep sea, she who sneaked out alone would be more likely to fall into danger.

"You're not bidding?"

While they were talking, the bidding price for the Mermaid's Tear had already reached one trillion. This price, which was beyond the reach of ordinary dignitaries, was already being fought over by the distinguished guests in the box.

Lan Qian observed and found that only No. 2, No. 3 and No. 5 were still bidding.

Her eyes turned to Mo Chen opposite her.

"Isn't your purpose today to obtain this mermaid's tear?"

As he said this, Lan Qian couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

How could her man buy another mermaid's tears?

Even if you want it, you can only want hers.

[…Host, you don’t have any mermaid tears yet. ]

The little dumpling spoke weakly.

"Shut up."

"Look up how mermaid tears are produced."

【Oh……】

Little Tuanzi went to look for it with a wronged look on his face.

It's just that this is something that wasn't mentioned in the original plot, so it's hard to find out even if it wants to...

Seeing that the girl seemed a little unhappy, Mo Chen lowered his eyes slightly, then raised them again after two seconds and looked at her, with a warm smile on his beautiful and perfect face.

"No more filming."

"Ok?"

Lan Qian didn't seem to hear clearly. A hint of doubt flashed across her azure eyes as she looked at him. She didn't understand why he changed his mind.

"Mermaid's tears are not my goal."

The man's voice was elegant and gentle, and his gentle eyes looked at her, as if her whole body was in his eyes.

"So tonight is..."

"Didn't Miss Lan say that she wanted to see the prosperity of the human world? Tonight, I just want to take her out to have a look."

He smiled, his eyes becoming softer.

"Are you happy today?"

Lan Qian was slightly stunned.

She raised her eyes and met those deep and gentle eyes. At that moment, she seemed unable to help but fall in love with his gentle gaze.
