Chapter 110

Good heavens, it's not over, is it?

Xu Nian'an looked at Ma Xiaotao helplessly.

Actually, it wasn't that he was stingy and couldn't bear to spend these forty thousand gold soul coins, but looking at Ma Xiaotao's appearance, she was prepared to pay out of her own pocket.

It's just... it's just that Xu Nian'an felt it wasn't worth it.

Giving the auction host another look, Xu Nian'an looked at Ma Xiaotao.

"Taozi, you don't need this Mysterious Water Pill, and I don't need it either. If you really want it, when I return to the sect, I'll have someone get ten or eight of them for you to eat like candy."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao hesitated.

"You and I indeed don't need it, but... your friend might need it."

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Ma Xiaotao's expression suddenly became a bit strange, and... embarrassed.

Having been in the Xuanming Sect for so long, she naturally learned some unknown news.

For example, Xu Nian'an's first woman in name.

Jiang Nan Nan.

Upon learning that Jiang Nan Nan came from a poor background, she had even seen her once at school.

And she herself had gained all kinds of benefits and good things just by coming back with Xu Nian'an once.

The outfit she was wearing was worth more than tens of thousands of times its weight in gold soul coins.

This couldn't help but make her feel guilty.

She came later than Jiang Nan Nan but obtained the status that originally belonged to her.

Xu Nian'an wasn't self-aware, but that didn't mean Ma Xiaotao wasn't; she wanted Xu Nian'an to make it up to Jiang Nan Nan, starting now, starting with this Xuan Water Pill.

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an paused.

He also instantly recalled Jiang Nan Nan; guilt flashed by, but three seconds later, Xu Nian'an still felt it wasn't worth it.

Sending it to a friend is fine, but there's no need to obsess over this one Xuan Water Pill.

In Xu Nian'an's eyes, the price of this Xuan Water Pill had already far exceeded its current value.

Returning to the Xuanming Sect to get it wouldn't even cost a single gold soul coin.

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins!"

"This gentleman has increased the bid to fifty thousand gold soul coins; is there anyone else bidding higher than this?"

Hearing the host's words on the stage, Ma Xiaotao instinctively wanted to raise her hand to bid.

Xu Nian'an was quick-witted and grabbed her hand.

"Stop messing around, Taozi; there are still many Mysterious Water Pills in the Xuanming Sect, and we don't need to spend a penny."

Hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Ma Xiaotao was full of doubt.

"Really?"

Xu Nian'an nodded, and before he could speak, a sneer rang out not far to the left.

"Heh, I wondered which family's useless young master this was; he can't even handle the pressure for this little bit of gold soul coins."

"Hey beauty, don't follow him; follow me, and I'll give you five hundred thousand gold soul coins for the set you're wearing."

Hearing this, the smile on Xu Nian'an's face faded.

He turned his head slowly and glanced at the black-haired, blue-eyed young man.

The young man was sitting with his legs crossed, his eyes scanning Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao's hot figure, graceful posture, fiery red short skirt, hotness, and domineering posture overlapped, satisfying all men's fantasies in certain aspects; if this were...

"Oh~"

"So, you want to compare."

Xu Nian'an was expressionless, not knowing what he was calculating inside.

"Compare?"

"Hehe, are you trying to make me laugh my teeth off?"

Hehe hahaha!

Seeing someone dare to mock Xu Nian'an at the Xuanming Auction House, the surrounding Xuanming Sect disciples moved slightly; seeing this, Xu Nian'an slowly raised his right hand.

Instantly, everyone stopped in their tracks, and in a situation most people didn't notice, they retreated to their original positions.

In the corner of the crowd, a purple-haired girl surrounded by a group of guards saw this, and her pupils shrank.

"Princess, look."

The purple-haired girl waved her hand, looking at the two sides confronting each other with interest.

"One million gold soul coins."

Xu Nian'an didn't hesitate, raising the bid from fifty thousand gold soul coins to one million.

Instantly, the scene was silent, not a sound to be heard.

Gulp.

The blue-eyed young man swallowed, slowly putting down his raised foot; he was a bit unable to step down.

He really didn't expect Xu Nian'an to raise the price by a million right off the bat.

"Follow, why aren't you following?"

"Are you using your entire family's assets to compare with my pocket money?"

Clatter~

As Xu Nian'an's words fell, the scene exploded instantly.

"Holy crap, holy crap, who exactly is this person? So domineering; if I'm not mistaken, the one confronting him is Lan Yu of the Lan Family, right?"

"Yo, kicked an iron plate; in this world, there are plenty of people stronger than the Lan Family; now he's being roasted on the fire."

"That woman's outfit is worth at least ten w; someone who can spend so much for a female companion can't be an ordinary person; now there's a good show to watch."

Hearing Xu Nian'an's bid, Ma Xiaotao also looked up instantly.

Her heart felt warm.

Is it because of... herself?

"What, not daring anymore?"

Xu Nian'an smiled mockingly.

Lan Yu's fists clenched tightly instantly.

Click~ Click~

Listening to the ridicule in his ears and the mocking sounds all around, Lan Yu's fists crackled.

"One million one hundred thousand!"

Bearing all the pressure, Xu Nian'an was calm and relaxed.

"Three million!"

Again... added another two million.

To be honest, Xu Nian'an really didn't feel any heartache for this money; the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce is his, which means the Xuanming Auction is also his now.

No matter how much money he bids, in the end, won't it return to his own pocket?

As for paying the ten percent tax to the Douling Empire, this isn't a commodity; auctions are an exception.

Even if he really had to pay, if Xu Nian'an didn't pay, what could they do to him?

Gulp~

Lan Yu swallowed.

Seeing Xu Nian'an follow up, he glanced at Ma Xiaotao again, and his heart couldn't help but gain some confidence.

"Four million."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an followed without the slightest hesitation.

Lan Yu estimated the money he had brought; he had begged for a long time before his old man agreed to buy him armor...

Because it was the first auction of integrated armor, he didn't know how much it would cost, so his old man gave him the family's supplementary card in the Douling Empire.

The supplementary card had five million five hundred thousand gold soul coins pre-stored.

These five million five hundred thousand gold soul coins were enough for him to bid one more time; that kid would definitely follow up, and then he wouldn't follow, and it would just be a loss of face.

At worst, he could say he didn't bring enough money today.

But that kid would be... funny; buying a Xuan Water Pill for over five million is simply laughable.

"Five million!"

Xu Nian'an spoke, overriding Lan Yu's four million bid.

Ma Xiaotao frowned; she started to panic a little.

"Is this... a bit... expensive?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an began to play with her jade hand.

"Not much, the fish... has taken the bait."

After Xu Nian'an's words fell, Lan Yu followed up as expected.

"Five million one hundred thousand!"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes, calculated in his heart, opened his mouth, and was just about to say something.

Not far away, Xu Nian'an sensed an extremely strong burst of excitement.

"So this is your limit."

Xu Nian'an's hand, which had just been raised halfway, was grabbed back by Ma Xiaotao.

"Sigh sigh sigh~ kid, why aren't you continuing to follow? Are you afraid?"

"If you're afraid, hurry up and give me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the host on the stage began to count down.

"Three!"

"This gentleman bids five million one hundred thousand to auction this Supreme Xuan Water Pill; is there any..."

"Two!"

Lan Yu's back was soaked with cold sweat, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and his chest began to heave continuously.

"Kid, follow!"

"Why aren't you continuing to follow? Weren't you very arrogant just now?"

"If you don't follow, I look down on you, I look down on you!!!"

Unfortunately, Xu Nian'an turned a deaf ear, and the mocking smile on his mouth was so obvious.

"Three minutes, and I made a man spend seven figures for me!"
