208: Chapter 208 The Allure of the Cheongsam Fairy! A pile of scrap metal, a billion for an ice pop!

Under the spotlight, the female auctioneer in the bright red, high-slit cheongsam was practically a walking hormone dispenser.

Not only was her figure incredibly hot, but every frown and smile exuded a Soul-hooking, spirit-capturing charm.

Especially those watery peach-blossom eyes; when they swept across the venue, the usually high-and-mighty tycoons in the first-floor hall all looked like they'd been injected with chicken blood, their breathing becoming heavy and ragged.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. I am Red Rhombus, the chief auctioneer for tonight's night sea queen black market auction."

The woman's voice was soft, sweet, and numbing, as if it possessed some kind of magic as it spread throughout the venue via the microphone.

Inside Heavenly Character Number One Private Room.

Su Yang watched Red Rhombus on the stage through the one-way bulletproof glass, exhaling a smoke ring with a look of boredom.

"To think she dares to show off such amateurish, low-level seduction arts."

As a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse with a Pure Yang Body who also kept a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox at home, the faint alluring aura Red Rhombus emitted using Spiritual Qi was, in Su Yang's eyes, more childish than a kindergarten trick.

Compared to Bai Li's natural, world-toppling celestial fox charm, this woman was like a roadside pheasant.

"Master, this woman's blood smells so bad; it reeks of cheap perfume and muddy True Qi."

Mary lay on Su Yang's lap, rubbing against him like a lazy kitten, her crimson eyes full of disdain.

"Shut your mouth. We're not here for a buffet tonight."

Su Yang reached out and slapped Mary's perky, electric butt, producing a crisp sound. Mary wasn't angry; instead, she let out an incredibly seductive moan and wrapped herself even tighter around him like a water snake.

Standing behind the sofa massaging Su Yang's shoulders, Qin Xueji saw this scene, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

Although she was prepared to sacrifice herself, she was still an innocent maiden, after all.

Feeling the astonishing heat belonging to a Pure Yang Body coming from Su Yang's shoulders, her legs couldn't help but feel a bit weak. She could only press her long, slender legs—wrapped in a black evening gown—tightly together, forcing herself to focus on the auction.

"Master, the auction has begun," Qin Xueji reminded him softly.

On the exhibition stage below, Red Rhombus had already lifted the red cloth from the first item.

"Tonight's first appetizer is a Premium Wild Blood Ginseng, five hundred years old, recently unearthed from the extremely cold regions of the Changbai Mountains!"

Red Rhombus, her slender hands encased in white gloves, held up an exquisite golden silk phoebe box.

Inside the box lay an old ginseng the thickness of an adult's arm, dark red all over, with a faint humanoid silhouette.

"This ginseng not only extends life but is also an excellent treasure for Martial Artists to Breakthrough the Inner Strength Bottleneck. The starting price is fifty million! Each bid must increase by no less than one million!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the first-floor hall instantly erupted.

"Fifty-five million!" "Sixty million!" "I bid eighty million! No one snatch it from me!"

To secular tycoons and low-level Martial Artists, a five-hundred-year-old wild blood ginseng was practically a life-saving miracle medicine. The price soared, surpassing a hundred million in the blink of an eye.

However, Heavenly Character Number One Private Room was terrifyingly quiet.

"A five-hundred-year-old weed that doesn't even have a bit of Spiritual Qi—how can they have the nerve to auction it?"

Su Yang shook his head, his face full of disdain.

"This kind of trash wouldn't even be qualified to serve as fertilizer for the Soul-Devouring Black Demon Flower in the courtyard of Locust Tree Alley. Any foxtail grass in my yard that had been touched by the aura of the earth vein dragon core would have medicinal effects ten times better than this blood ginseng."

The next few items made Su Yang even more drowsy.

A sword said to be passed down from the Tang Dynasty that could cut through iron like butter, starting price two hundred million; a protective jade talisman consecrated by an unknown master that could block a car accident, auctioned for the astronomical price of five hundred million.

In Su Yang's eyes, these were all just piles of scrap metal and industrial waste with no Spiritual Qi fluctuations at all.

This was the massive chasm created by one's perspective.

"When you're used to eating Dragon liver and Phoenix marrow in the Immortal Realm, who would be interested in the swill of the mortal world?"

"Butler Qin, this is the 'top-tier' auction you mentioned? This is it?" Su Yang leaned back, his head resting directly between Qin Xueji's soft and full bosom.

Qin Xueji's whole body stiffened, her heart racing wildly, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she cooperated perfectly, leaning over slightly to make Su Yang more comfortable.

"Please calm your anger, Master. The early items are just to liven up the atmosphere and let the general guests on the first floor participate. The real highlights and good things are in the second half, specially prepared for the VIP boxes on the second floor."

Qin Xueji explained while using a gentle technique to massage Su Yang's temples, her breath as fragrant as an orchid.

Sure enough, half an hour later.

After a pile of "trash" had been snapped up at high prices, the general guests in the first-floor hall had basically quieted down.

The smile on Red Rhombus's face became even more charming, and she clapped her hands.

Four fully armed Martial Artists at the Peak of Inner Strength carefully pushed a cart onto the stage, made of black refined steel and covered with a heavy black cloth.

An incredibly terrifying chill instantly penetrated the black cloth, spreading in all directions. Several tycoons in the front row even shivered from the cold, a layer of white frost forming on their eyelashes.

"Distinguished guests, the next item is somewhat special."

Red Rhombus didn't immediately lift the black cloth, but instead lowered her voice to create suspense.

"This was brought back by an exploration team from a ten-thousand-fathom ice abyss deep in the Kunlun Mountains. For this item, only one person survived out of a fully armed twelve-man exploration team."

After saying that, Red Rhombus suddenly yanked off the black cloth!

On the cart sat a transparent, vacuum-sealed special glass box.

In the center of the box suspended a fist-sized drop of a mysterious substance, deep blue in color and flowing like liquid crystal.

Even through the special glass, that extreme cold that seemed to freeze the Soul still caused the temperature of the entire hall to drop by over a dozen degrees.

"After joint confirmation by our venue's three top appraisers, this item is named—ten thousand year profound ice marrow!"

"Starting price, one billion! Each bid must increase by no less than fifty million!"

As Red Rhombus's voice fell, the first-floor hall became dead silent.

"A starting price of one billion directly deterred ninety-nine percent of the people. Moreover, although this thing looked miraculous, ordinary people wouldn't know how to use it other than as a giant refrigerator, and they might even freeze to death."

But as soon as this item appeared, Su Yang, in Heavenly Character Number One Private Room, suddenly sat up straight.

"Such pure extreme cold Origin!"

Su Yang touched the ice dragon jade bangle on his left wrist.

That was his mount, the ancient Frost Giant Dragon Little White Strip, in its transformed state. At this moment, the jade bracelet was emitting faint waves of cold, conveying an intense desire to devour the item to Su Yang.

"Not just Little White Strip—if he took this ten thousand year profound ice marrow back for Chu Ling to absorb, it would definitely allow her ghost body to undergo another transformation!"

"One point one billion."

Just as the venue was silent, a man's voice, extremely raspy and carrying a cold aura, suddenly came from the "Heaven Room No. 2" box opposite the second floor.

A direct increase of one hundred million!

Hearing this voice, Qin Xueji's expression changed slightly. She leaned into Su Yang's ear and whispered, "Master, that's Heaven Room No. 2. Sitting inside should be the Young Sect Master of the hidden Yin Sha Sect. Their Sect's Cultivation Technique is extremely sinister and requires this kind of extreme cold item the most."

"Yin Sha Sect? What kind of nobodies are they?"

Su Yang sneered and leaned back onto the sofa, his fingers lightly tapping the leather armrest.

"Head Butler Qin, I have a task for you."

"Use the money from your Qin family's coffers to buy that 'ice pop' for me."

"Remember, don't bid bit by bit; I find it annoying to listen to."

Qin Xueji took the order and took a deep breath.

She walked to the box's exclusive bidding microphone. Her cold and aloof CEO voice instantly echoed throughout the auction venue as she parted her red lips.

"Heavenly Character Number One Private Room bids..."

"Ten billion."
