Chapter 388: Auction Half-Dragon_1
"Very well," Chu Qin nodded. "Miss Lan Jing’er, let’s proceed with the auction and not disturb everyone."
"Sure," Lan Jing’er nodded.
Subsequently, Chu Qin and his group took their seats in the front row of the inner area, while Lan Jing’er and her group, without special privileges, could only sit at the back!
After Lan Jing’er sat down, Gu You couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master, are you really giving up on the Deep Sea Sinking Silver?"
Lan Jing’er nodded, "This person named Chu Qin saved us once, and I, Lan Jing’er, am not one to repay kindness with enmity!"
"That Soul Sage, I could crush him with one hand, and he saved us all?" Gu You frowned and said.
"Gu You, my mind is made up," Lan Jing’er replied. "Moreover, if the Deep Sea Sinking Silver is so cheap, it means there must be plenty in Soul Land and we have plenty of opportunities to obtain it! Besides, Chu Qin becoming a Titled Douluo at such a young age is no ordinary feat. Do you think we stand a chance competing with him on price?"
"All right, I’ll listen to the Young Master!" Gu You nodded.
At this moment, the auction had already begun. The item up for bid was a Poisonous Weed from the Icefire Polarized Eyes.
Eventually, the Poisonous Weed sold for two million golden soul coins. Because the auction house had installed some rudimentary soul tools, bidders simply had to press a button to raise their bids; hence, the final buyer remained concealed!
"Please bring out the next auction item!"
Under the effect of the soul amplifier, a huge object covered with a black cloth was carried onto the auction stage.
"This auction item is being sold by a mysterious seller from the Empire Military!" the host shouted. "It is a piece of war booty, and everyone is welcome to guess what it is!"
"It’s so big, could it be an automaton battle chariot?"
"Could it be some special soul beast?"
...
The buyers all started guessing.
"Stop dawdling and just open it up!" Bai Xiuxiu shouted towards the stage.
"Very well!" the host nodded. "Let us now unveil the mystery of this auction item!"
Under everyone’s gaze, the black cloth was slowly lifted, revealing a scene that shocked them all!
Below the black cloth was an iron cage, and locked within it was a beautiful figure!
It was a woman who appeared to be in her twenties. Not only was she extremely beautiful, but her figure was also particularly sultry.
Because her clothes were tattered, she revealed large expanses of stunning views—her ivory long legs and delicate arms like snow lotuses, making her irresistibly enticing!
Yet, such a breathtaking woman was cruelly locked in the iron cage, with shackles around her neck, wrists, and ankles.
"Wow, a great beauty!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"No, she’s not human. Look carefully; she has a pair of dragon horns on her head. She is a Half-Dragon girl!" another person shouted.
"A Dragon Girl? What’s a Dragon Girl?" someone asked, perplexed.
"Correct! She is a Dragon Girl. Like Demi-humans such as Cat Girls and Wolf Raiders, Dragon Girls are half-human, half-beast! But Dragon Girls are far more precious than Cat Girls and Wolf Raiders! Because the Dragon Clan is the most noble among soul beasts, they disdain to pass their bloodline to humans!" the host announced. "Moreover, she is not just any Dragon Girl! She is the leader of a barbaric tribe near the Xingluo Empire, and the Empire Knights captured her at a great cost!"
Chu Qin’s pupils shrank slightly, even showing a hint of anger!
On one hand, because the woman was indeed very beautiful.
Among his women, Zi Ji Gu Yuena and the Azure Dragon were from the Dragon Clan! Therefore, his offspring would also be Dragon Girls!
"Bastards!" the Green-eyed Dragon King said furiously.
"Azure Dragon, it’s not their fault; they are just in charge of the auction!" Chu Qin calmed down and stopped the Green-eyed Dragon King from losing control. "Blame the Knight who captured her!"
From the look in Chu Qin’s eyes, it wasn’t hard to tell that someone was about to suffer!
"Then, Brother Chu Qin, let’s buy her!" Bai Xiuxiu said. "She looks so pitiful!"
"Mm!" Chu Qin nodded.
At the same time, Gu You also said with a hint of mockery, "Soul Land really has it all, even trafficking demi-humans!"
"Hmph!" Lan Jing’er’s expression turned stern as she said, "Beastly behavior!"
"What use is a Dragon Girl? So fierce, what’s the point of buying her?" At this moment, these five people shouted.
"Good question! Ordinary people, of course, can’t tame her, but those present are the elites of Soul Land! Are you still afraid of not being able to tame a mere demi-human? Also, I can tell you that the body of this Dragon Girl is clean and flawless. Such a beautiful woman, if you buy her, you all know what I mean..." The host said with a knowing smile.
Instantly, a group of lecherous smiles crossed the faces of the crowd.
"All right, the starting bid for the Dragon Girl, five million golden soul coins!" the host shouted.
As soon as the host’s voice fell, many people pressed their buttons in succession, and after dozens of price increases, the Dragon Girl actually reached the astronomical price of ten million golden soul coins!
"Young Master, are you using all of our golden soul coins to buy the Dragon Girl?" Gu He said with a slight shock.
"She must not fall into the hands of others!" Lan Jing said with her arms crossed.
Although the Dragon Girl was very beautiful and tempting, not everyone was willing to pay ten million golden soul coins for a woman!
Soon, the bidding stopped!
"Ten million once!"
"Ten million twice!"
...
"Chu Qin, hurry up, she’s going to be bought by someone else!" Bai Xiuxiu said anxiously.
"Don’t worry!" Chu Qin said with a gentle smile, pressing the button in his hand again!
"Ten million and fifty thousand golden soul coins!" the host exclaimed loudly.
"What should we do, Young Master, our bid has been surpassed!" Gu He frowned and said, "We don’t have any more golden soul coins!"
"It doesn’t matter, we’ll pass on this one!" Lan Jing replied with a smile.
"Ah?" Gu He said, slightly puzzled.
Lan Jing did not answer; she watched Chu Qin’s direction with a smile on her face because she had been paying attention to Chu Qin and saw that he was the last to press the button!
"Ten million and fifty thousand golden soul coins, sold!" Without any further bids, the host declared with a final strike of the hammer.
"That’s great, we’ve bought her!" Bai Xiuxiu was elated.
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu’s innocent expression, Chu Qin couldn’t help but stroke her collagen-filled, jade-like little face.
Subsequently, a succession of items went up for auction, most of which belonged to Chu Qin. In just a short moment, Chu Qin had already earned an income of fifty million golden soul coins!
Next was the public auction of soul bones, which excited everyone, ultimately reaching the astronomical price of forty million golden soul coins!
Chu Qin found it somewhat amusing; these low-level soul bones, which he didn’t even glance at, were real treasures in the eyes of ordinary people!
Of course, golden soul coins were just an inconsequential number in Chu Qin’s eyes!
After acquiring ninety million golden soul coins, without a doubt, Chu Qin successfully claimed twenty tons of Deep Sea Sinking Silver for a price of twenty-five million golden soul coins!
