Chapter 17

“Sir, this way please,” said the enchanting maid from Wanbao Auction House with a charming tone.

Lin Xuan followed the maid into a luxurious private room, which was adorned with exquisite white jade and filled with various precious items, showcasing extreme opulence.

Looking out the window, Lin Xuan saw bright lights below, with layers upon layers of people on three floors bustling about. In the center of the auction house was a circular area, which should be the auction center.

However, the auction had not yet begun.

“Sir, may I ask if you require any services?” the beautiful maid suddenly asked, her face slightly flushed as her eyes fixed on Lin Xuan.

“? What services?” Lin Xuan asked curiously.

The alluring maid slowly moved closer to Lin Xuan, and the wide dress she wore suddenly slipped down, revealing her jade-like shoulders. Her face was flushed, exuding charm, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

For maids like her, being able to attach themselves to someone like Lin Xuan, who possessed a VIP card, would mean a transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix. Even just once would bring great benefits, at least freeing her from the fate of being treated as a commodity.

“Stop!!!” Lin Xuan’s expression changed drastically under his mask. “Ahem, that’s not necessary, you can leave now.”

Though Lin Xuan was naive in some ways, he wasn’t an idiot in this regard; he was merely curious and didn’t expect this to be real!

This genuinely startled Lin Xuan.

Hearing Lin Xuan’s words, the maid looked a bit disappointed but quickly straightened her clothes, smiled, and gracefully bowed, “Then Mei’er wishes you to find something you desire, Sir.”

Lin Xuan nodded, and after the maid, who called herself Mei’er, left the private room, he let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from under his mask, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.

“It seems I can’t be so curious next time; that was truly a life-threatening experience.”

Lin Xuan silently resolved to speak less in the future; if he could just nod, he would avoid unnecessary chatter.

…….

As Mei’er left the private room, a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

“Why do I feel that this Sir is a bit flustered? Is it just my imagination?”

“A person of his stature could have any kind of woman he wants; perhaps it’s just my illusion.”

Mei’er shook her head, no longer thinking about it. Such a person was from a different world than hers and could not be casually speculated upon.

…….

Time passed quickly, and just as the guests began to arrive, the originally bright lights flickered and dimmed. Two figures appeared in the center of the auction house: one was a wild-looking, burly middle-aged man with an indescribable charm, while the other was a graceful woman in luxurious attire, with cherry-red lips and a standard oval face that appeared somewhat rosy in the dim light, exuding extreme allure.

“There’s a reason why Wanbao Auction House has grown so large,” Lin Xuan thought to himself, noticing that the feelings of both men and women were being catered to. Just based on this point, Wanbao Auction House could easily outcompete half of its rivals.

“Dear guests, welcome to Wanbao Auction House. Next, the enchanting and the Dragon Tiger will host this auction,” the graceful woman on stage said in a soft, alluring tone, her crimson lips shimmering enticingly as if telling a story.

Although her beauty couldn’t match that of Lin Yanran, she was still a rare beauty in her own right. Especially with her unique charm, which easily stirred the primal desires in men.

Lin Xuan shook his head and stopped paying attention.

The auction quickly began. The first item was a high-grade yellow-level martial art, which was ultimately won by a monster hunting team for fifty thousand low-grade Yuanshi. It was clear that the leader of that team had gotten a bit carried away, spending an extra ten thousand Yuanshi on an item worth only forty thousand, simply to show off.

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly, realizing that sycophants were everywhere; these were the types who ended up empty-handed.

The second item was a supreme yellow-level sword technique, which Lin Xuan still found uninteresting.

However, the third item caught Lin Xuan’s eye—a second-grade pill that could help body-refining martial artists enter the qi condensation stage. What piqued Lin Xuan’s interest was the rarity of its refining method, as if it had been intentionally controlled. This pill clearly had the potential to exhibit pill rhythm, yet it was merely an ordinary pill in the end.

This made Lin Xuan’s gaze somewhat peculiar. He suspected that this was likely concocted by Lin Yan or perhaps by the old man behind Lin Yan.

Eventually, this pill was sold to the Lord of Tai’an City for seventy thousand low-grade Yuanshi. The price was certainly high; had it not been for interference from others, it might have gone for fifty or sixty thousand low-grade Yuanshi. Unfortunately, a guest seemed to have a grudge against the Lord of Tai’an City, causing the price to be pushed to seventy thousand low-grade Yuanshi.

The fourth item caught Lin Xuan’s attention.

The sturdy auctioneer held up a blue dress, bright in color like the sky, appearing quite light. As the breeze blew, the blue hem fluttered gracefully like cold dew rippling in the wind.

Even the enchanting host of the auction couldn’t help but look slightly lost for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, “This is the fourth item of today’s auction, the Flowing Fairy Dress.”

“This was crafted by a second-grade artifact master, who dedicated his entire life’s work to create it for his beloved, yet he never awaited his cherished woman.”

“This dress, in terms of quality and material, is even rarer than most third-grade treasures, truly a unique item cherished by women.”

“If someone were to gift me such a dress, I might be moved beyond measure; there’s no woman who could resist such a romantic gift.”

There was a hint of longing in the enchanting woman’s eyes; this was her genuine thought. Such a dress, ethereal and fairy-like, would be irresistible to any woman.

“The Flowing Fairy Dress, starting bid at ten thousand low-grade Yuanshi, please place your bids!”

As soon as the enchanting woman’s words fell, the entire auction house erupted in excitement.

Indeed, as she said, this dress was nearly lethal in its allure to women, particularly for those high-born ladies and noblewomen who would go crazy for it.
