Chapter 471 471:- Nine Tailed Fox Core [I]
The bidding reached a crescendo with an assertive voice calling out, "1 million and 4 hundred thousand royal gold coins..." The room fell into a stunned silence, the bid echoing through the chambers. Many of the guests exchanged astonished glances, for such a sum was beyond their reach. It was a considerable fortune, especially for those on the first floor, who lacked the support of powerful factions.
Sakura, sensing the hesitation in the room, let her eyes wander languidly over the crowd, her lips curving into a tantalizing smile. Her voice, dripping with honeyed temptation, called out, "Is there anyone else, my dear guests, brave enough to challenge this magnificent bid?" She paused, allowing her words to linger in the air, her eyes gleaming with a seductive spark. "This Moonshade Herb, a rarity that dances under the moon's caress, awaits its worthy master. Who will claim it?"
The silence held, the audience entranced by her allure yet unable to meet the towering bid.
Seeing no response, Sakura's smile widened, and her voice took on a congratulatory tone mixed with a hint of playfulness. "Ah, it appears we have found our winner. Congratulations, dear sir, for winning the Moonshade Herb. Your discernment is truly commendable." She gave a gentle, graceful bow, her form a picture of elegance.
Then, her eyes twinkling with anticipation, she continued, "Now, dear guests, allow me to entice you with our next offering, a treasure that will surely stir your hearts and awaken your deepest desires." Her words, teasing and provocative, promised more than just material treasures, and the crowd found themselves leaning forward, ensnared by her charm, ready for the next item on display.
Sakura's performance was a masterful blend of elegance and sensuality, keeping the guests engaged and the atmosphere charged with a mix of excitement and temptation. Her presence on the stage was not just about the items being auctioned but a mesmerizing experience in itself, leaving the audience both satisfied and craving more.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's Core rested within a luxuriously crafted display case, cushioned by a bed of dark velvet. It was a sight that seemed to beckon the very soul, an artifact imbued with ancient magic and ethereal beauty.
The core itself was a captivating orb, about the size of a human fist, with a mesmerizing iridescent glow. Swirling hues of emerald, sapphire, and fiery orange danced within its depths, creating an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colors. The surface was smooth and cool to the touch, yet it seemed to pulse with an internal heat, as if the life essence of the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox still resided within.
Contained within the core were delicate strands of crystalline energy, winding and intertwining like the nine tails of its original bearer. These luminescent tendrils seemed to move of their own accord, casting intricate shadows and reflections that played tricks on the eye. When looked at closely, faint images and illusions could be seen fleeting within its depths, tantalizing glimpses of otherworldly landscapes and mystical realms.
Surrounding the core were inscriptions, ancient runes etched with precision, detailing spells and enchantments. They spoke of wisdom, cunning, and seduction - the very attributes that the Nine-Tailed Fox was renowned for. These inscriptions seemed to hum with an unseen power, resonating with the pulsing energy of the core.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's Core was not just an object; it was a living piece of legend, a fragment of myth come to life. Its presence in the room was almost otherworldly, as if a door to an ancient, mystical world had been opened, allowing the guests to peer into the unknown.
The aura it emitted was both enchanting and intoxicating, filled with a sense of allure that went beyond mere physical attraction. It was said to enhance one's charm techniques and illusion mastery, but to merely describe its function would be an injustice. The core was art, magic, and mystery combined, a treasure that promised power and whispered of untold secrets.
With an allure that seemed to captivate the entire room, Sakura gracefully approached the display case containing the Nine-Tailed Fox's Core. Her eyes sparkled with an inviting glint as she looked out at the entranced audience. With a seductive smile playing on her lips, she began to describe the item, her voice like a soothing melody that washed over the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is an artifact of legend and desire. Behold, the Nine-Tailed Fox's Core, a treasure that promises power, beauty, and allure." Her fingers delicately caressed the glass, teasingly close to the glowing orb. "You see how it dances and shimmers, don't you? Much like the enchanting dance of a fox beneath the moonlit sky."
She continued, her voice dripping with charm, "This core belongs to a Peak 5th-order magic animal. But its value is not merely in its rarity or power. Oh no, dear guests, it's what this core can do for you." Her gaze seemed to lock onto each person individually, promising secret pleasures and hidden potentials.
Fox merging with their being, awakening the Royal Fox Bloodline. An evolution, a transformation, a seduction of power and grace." "Imagine, if you will, a Kitsune - a member of the Fox-folk - consuming this core. The very essence of the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox merging with their being, awakening the Royal Fox Bloodline. An evolution, a transformation, a seduction of power and grace." She let the words hang in the air, allowing the crowd to savor the tantalizing image.
"And for those skilled in charm techniques and illusion mastery, this core is like a lover's whisper in the dark, enhancing, teasing, promising more." Her eyes sparkled mischievously. "Who wouldn't want to wield such beguiling power? To control, to captivate, to command attention and desire?"
The room was silent, hanging on her every word, lost in the allure of the core and the woman presenting it. Even Aditya, normally so composed, found himself drawn into her spell.
She leaned closer to the item, her voice dropping to an intimate murmur, "And let's not forget the cultivation benefits. A guaranteed increase in one's abilities, a leap forward on the path to greatness." She looked up, her deep blue eyes promising mystery and allure. "Who among you will take this treasure into your hands, embrace its power, and become one with the legend?"
With those words, the auction house erupted into frenzied bidding, each person driven by desire, greed, and the intoxicating promise of the Nine-Tailed Fox's Core. Sakura's presentation had been a masterful dance of seduction and temptation, and the guests were more than willing to follow her lead.
Aditya's eyes were fixed on the shimmering Nine-Tailed Fox's Core, his mind racing with possibilities and dreams of the future. The core was a glowing spectacle, an elegant fusion of colors and mystical aura that seemed to call to him, promising power, allure, and enhancement.
Sitting comfortably in the plush VIP room on the 3rd floor, Aditya was lost in thought. The person he had in mind for this core was Amber, his 5th general, and Captain of the 5th division of the Istarin Empire's military. A Kitsune of high standing, she had already awakened her Royal Fox Bloodline. This core would be a perfect match for her.
Aditya's mind danced with images of Amber, her powers magnified, her illusions more compelling, her very essence evolved. 'With this core, she would become an even more formidable force. Her abilities would soar, and her bloodline could take another leap forward.' The thought was exciting, tantalizing even.
He was so lost in thought that he almost didn't notice Julia's gentle voice breaking through his reverie. "Aditya, are you going to bid for this item?" she asked softly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Aditya turned his gaze to Julia, his thoughts still lingering on the core's potential. He simply nodded, a determined look in his eyes. The words were unnecessary. His intention was clear.
Lara, seated on his other side, picked up on his intense focus. "It must be really special for you to be so interested," she commented, her voice filled with intrigue.
Aditya's eyes softened as he turned to her. "It's perfect for Amber. She's strong, talented, and this core could make her even more powerful. It could even help her evolve her bloodline further." His voice was filled with conviction, his belief in Amber's potential unwavering.
The anticipation was palpable in the room, a frenzied energy that tingled in the air. Guests were leaning forward, their faces flushed with excitement, eyes glued to the glimmering Nine-Tailed Fox's Core that Sakura so elegantly held.
With a captivating grace, Sakura stepped forward, her figure highlighted by the soft glow of the magical chandeliers above. Her dress, a seductive shade of white, clung to her curves, accentuating her beauty. Her eyes sparkled with a mischievous light as she looked out at her esteemed guests, knowing well the desire that this item had ignited within them.
"Ladies and gentlemen," she purred, her voice dripping with allure. "The time has come for you to indulge in your deepest desires. This Nine-Tailed Fox's Core is not merely a treasure. It is a dream, a key to unlock the power within, a seduction that calls to the very soul." Her words were a caress, a whisper in the ears of those who listened.
Her hands danced delicately around the core, fingers tracing its outline as if teasing, promising more. "We shall begin the bidding at 1,000,000 royal gold coins, and I must insist that the increments be no less than 100,000 gold coins. Shall we begin, my darlings?" she cooed, snapping her fingers and igniting the bidding war.
The room erupted into a frenzy.
"One million and one hundred thousand," came a voice, firm and eager.
"1.5 million royal gold coins," another chimed in, the tension rising.
The bids escalated quickly, voices overlapping, each one more desperate than the last. The numbers soared, reaching heights that had never been seen before in previous auctions.
"3 Million royal gold coins."
"3.2 million...."
"3.9 million royal gold coins..."
"5 million...."
"6 million..."
"7..."
"8 million..."
Sakura's eyes danced with delight, her lips parting in a satisfied smile. She swayed with the rhythm of the bids, her body moving like a melody, encouraging, enticing. The guests were spellbound, not just by the core but by her very presence.
"This is magnificent, isn't it?" she murmured, her voice soft and intimate, as if sharing a secret. "The passion, the desire, the sheer hunger for power and beauty. It's intoxicating."
Her words were more than an invitation; they were a temptation, a challenge. The room was ablaze with energy, and Sakura was the flame that fueled it, her very essence a dance of seduction and power.
As the bids continued to rise, Sakura's smile widened, her eyes gleaming with success. The Nine-Tailed Fox's Core was more than a treasure; it was a sensation, and she was its mistress, guiding the guests through a game of desire and ambition, where the stakes were high, and the rewards were even higher.
