Chapter 32: Competing for the Dragon Emperor Pearl

Of course, it still needs to be watered and nourished often.

"Yanran, I am not spouting nonsense."

Su Chen said with a serious face: "After the son is born, he will need a large amount of breast milk. Don't you think we need to work harder?"

As he spoke, his wandering hands were still causing trouble on her towering chest.

Hearing this, Chu Yanran rolled her eyes immediately; he clearly wanted to take advantage of her, yet he spoke with such a righteous expression.

"Bad man, you only know how to bully me!"

Her pretty face was flushed red, like a ripe apple.

However, hearing that Su Chen was willing to let her bear his child, she was still very happy about it.

As long as she bore an heir for Su Chen, her status in the Su Mansion would be secure, and she would no longer fear how many women Su Chen might have around him in the future.

At this moment, the interior of the auction house suddenly fell into silence, and everyone's gaze was cast toward the high platform in the center of the hall.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Tianqiong Auction House!"

Presiding over the auction was a woman in a red dress with a graceful figure; her tone was gentle and pleasant, like an oriole emerging from a valley, making everyone present feel extremely comfortable.

Although her appearance could not compare to Chu Yanran and Su Mei'er, she excelled in the mature charm she exuded; she was alluring and enchanting, and every gesture was full of temptation, making people's hearts flutter at the sight of her.

Many male customers had glints in their eyes, but they did not act rudely.

As the woman's voice fell, applause erupted instantly.

"Next, I will announce the first auction item."

Seeing this, the red-dressed woman presiding over the auction smiled brightly, "It is this Dragon Emperor Pearl."

As her voice fell, a crystal-clear Dragon Emperor Pearl, the size of a pigeon egg and shimmering with white light, appeared on the auction stage.

It looked as if it had been carved from a gemstone; under the illumination of the lights, it was entirely white, emitting a brilliant radiance, as round and lustrous as a pearl, shining brightly.

"Hiss."

The moment they saw this East Sea Dragon Emperor Pearl, everyone present gasped, their eyes wide open.

As expected of the Tianqiong Auction House, the first auction item was a treasure of heaven and earth, and a priceless Dragon Emperor Pearl at that.

"This is the Dragon Emperor Pearl?"

"Legend has it that the Dragon Emperor Pearl is a supreme treasure of the Dragon Race. It contains vast Spiritual Qi, which can increase a Cultivator's cultivation speed, enhance combat experience, and even cleanse the body and strengthen the divine sense. It is an excellent treasure, extremely suitable for tempering the physical body."

"It is indeed the legendary Dragon Emperor Pearl; the aura it emits alone is irresistible. This is far better than any Pill."

"The Dragon Emperor Pearl is not just a holy treasure for enhancing strength; it can also improve an infant's cultivation potential. If it can be swallowed and refined, the infant's aptitude will certainly improve greatly, and there is even a possibility of awakening the legendary Dragon Martial Soul."

"It's a pity we don't have that much money."

"No! No matter the cost, I must obtain it!"

The guests present began to discuss it one after another, their eyes filled with fervor.

Everyone was determined to win this Dragon Emperor Pearl.

Seeing the fanatical look in everyone's eyes, the red-dressed woman curled her lips into an arc, a trace of triumph flashing in her eyes.

She loved watching the scene of customers fighting crazily.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she smiled and said: "I don't need to introduce it; I believe everyone already knows the use of the Dragon Emperor Pearl, right?"

Hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement: "Of course!"

"Very well, since everyone knows, I will continue with the auction. Let me state the starting price for this Dragon Emperor Pearl..."

She scanned the crowd and spoke slowly: "The starting price for this Dragon Emperor Pearl is one million Superior Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than one hundred thousand Superior Spirit Stones. Please bid enthusiastically."

As soon as her voice fell, someone immediately announced their price.

"I bid one million one hundred thousand Superior Spirit Stones."

"I bid one million two hundred thousand Superior Spirit Stones."

"I bid one million five hundred thousand Superior Spirit Stones."

"I bid three million Superior Spirit Stones!"

A voice came from the "Hai" private room.

Ye Fan was staring at the Dragon Emperor Pearl on the auction stage with an excited face; he felt as if his breathing had almost stopped, his heartbeat quickened at this moment, and he wished he could rush over immediately to claim it as his own.

He never imagined that he would actually be able to see such a treasure.

Having just used his Double Pupil Eye to examine this Dragon Emperor Pearl, he was astonished to discover that this was not an ordinary Dragon Emperor Pearl, but one that was a million years old.

Because it had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for a full million years, the essence contained within the pearl was exceptionally rich, making it a great tonic for a Cultivator.

As long as he swallowed and refined this Dragon Emperor Pearl, he could raise his cultivation to the middle or late stage of the Supernatural Power Realm in a short time, and it would also strengthen his physical power.

Now, only he knew the shocking secret hidden within this Dragon Emperor Pearl.

To him, this was a tremendous opportunity; as long as he was careful and didn't let anyone notice, this Dragon Emperor Pearl would be his.

Because although the Dragon Emperor Pearl was precious, its general price was usually under five million Superior Spirit Stones.

He now had ten million Superior Spirit Stones in his possession, and for this, he felt very grateful to Xiao Tiancheng.

Without Xiao Tiancheng, he would not have had this capital of ten million Superior Spirit Stones; sure enough, not having wasted the effort to make this wealthy friend during that trial in the Secret Realm was worth it.

As long as he took this Dragon Emperor Pearl, he would be one big step closer to the day he would take revenge on Su Chen.

"Su Chen, just you wait. One day, I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy, and I will make you watch with your own eyes how I toy with your women!"

Thinking of this, Ye Fan's eyes turned scarlet, his fists clenched tightly, and his gaze grew increasingly cold.

Hearing Ye Fan's bid, a flash of light crossed the red-dressed woman's beautiful eyes; she then concealed the joy in her eyes, coughed lightly, and said: "Congratulations to the young master in the 'Hai' private room for bidding three million Superior Spirit Stones. Is there anyone with a higher bid?"

While she spoke, her gaze swept across the crowd, wanting to find someone who would bid higher.

However, she was quickly disappointed, because the price of three million was already approaching the maximum price for this Dragon Emperor Pearl.

Just as she sighed in disappointment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Three million one hundred thousand Superior Spirit Stones."

A slightly gloomy voice resounded throughout the entire auction hall.

Hearing the voice, the crowd turned their heads one after another to look, only to see a man wearing a black robe and a hood sitting in the VIP section, with several men holding sharp weapons standing beside him, their fierce and menacing appearance making anyone who saw them feel fear.

At this moment, the purple-robed man sitting beside the man let out a cold snort and said, "Third Brother, why are you so impulsive this time? I know you are drooling over this Dragon Emperor Pearl, but you also have to—"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the black-robed man.

"Second Brother, stop worrying about me; I have already made my decision, and today I must pocket this Dragon Emperor Pearl."

"Third Brother, you cannot do this; you know our mission for coming to this auction."

Hearing the black-robed man's words, the purple-robed man immediately frowned and tried to dissuade him.

But the black-robed man remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the purple-robed man could only sigh and say, "Fine, do whatever you want then; I can't be bothered to care about you anymore."

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd suddenly revealed looks of sudden realization; so this man in black had come for the Dragon Emperor Pearl.

"I bid 3.2 million Superior Spirit Stones."

Just as the purple-robed man had finished giving up on stopping the man in black, another voice rang out.
