Chapter 47: The Auction Continues

~7 min read 1,341 words

Ye Feng practiced for the whole night and did not wake up until after nine o'clock the next morning.

He felt that the Qi Strength within his body was more vigorous than before, and his heart was filled with confidence.

After a simple wash, Ye Feng ate a little something and headed straight to the Renyang Great Pharmacy.

Upon arriving at the pharmacy, he found that Qi Ruoxue was already waiting for him.

She saw Ye Feng, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face: "Ye Feng, you're here. How did you rest last night?"

Ye Feng smiled, his tone relaxed: "Not bad. Ruoxue, let's set off."

Qi Ruoxue nodded, and the two got into the car together and drove toward the Auction venue.

When they arrived at the Auction venue, Lei Qianqian was already waiting for them at the entrance.

She saw Ye Feng and Qi Ruoxue and walked up to them with a smile: "Benefactor, Ruoxue, you're finally here!"

Ye Feng nodded, and remembering the miraculous encounter with the Ancient Jade yesterday, he hurriedly said gratefully: "Miss Lei, thank you so much for helping me bid for the Ancient Jade yesterday!"

"By the way, don't call me Benefactor; it sounds weird. Just call me Ye Feng directly!"

"Alright, Benefactor, then you can call me Qianqian too!"

Ye Feng nodded: "Let's go in!"

"Okay, Benefactor!"

After saying that, Lei Qianqian took Qi Ruoxue's arm and walked inside.

Ye Feng:...

This girl, didn't I tell her to call me Ye Feng? Why is she still calling me Benefactor?

The three of them walked into the auction hall together and found a seat near the front.

Not long after, Li Zongsheng also passed by them.

He saw Ye Feng and glared coldly at the three of them, but he didn't say anything and just found a seat a little further away from them.

The three of them ignored Li Zongsheng, and Ye Feng whispered to Qi Ruoxue and Lei Qianqian: "We need to be a little careful at today's Auction; Li Zongsheng might still try to deliberately drive up the price against us!"

Lei Qianqian patted her large chest and said confidently: "Benefactor, don't worry. Our Lei Family has plenty of money; we aren't afraid at all!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng was petrified on the spot. I mean, even if you're rich, you shouldn't squander it like this!

However, um... it really was quite bouncy!

Not long after, the host Ouyang Mei'er walked onto the stage.

She smiled and said to the whole room: "Distinguished guests, welcome back to the Auction hosted by the Tianhai Auction House!"

"Yesterday's Auction was suspended due to some unexpected circumstances; today, we will continue to auction the remaining items!"

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room, her tone carrying a hint of mystery: "Among today's items, there are several very special treasures that I believe will satisfy everyone. So, without further ado, the Auction begins now!"

As her voice fell, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the room.

Ouyang Mei'er clapped her hands lightly, and a staff member pushed a small cart onto the stage, with a red cloth covering it.

Ouyang Mei'er walked to the side of the cart and gently lifted the red cloth, revealing an exquisite piece of bronze ware.

She smiled and introduced: "The first item, a Shang Dynasty Bronze Tripod, with a starting price of three million!"

As Ouyang Mei'er's voice fell, someone in the audience immediately raised a paddle: "Three million five hundred thousand!"

"Four million!"

"Four million five hundred thousand!"

The bidding sounds rose one after another, and Ye Feng looked at the scene before him, feeling deeply moved.

Being rich is truly damn satisfying!

The next few items were also very popular and were all sold at high prices!

Just when everyone thought today's Auction would go as smoothly as yesterday's, Ouyang Mei'er suddenly announced a special item.

"The next item is two pieces of Jade Stone."

Ouyang Mei'er smiled and lifted the red cloth, revealing two stones of different sizes.

One was bright in color and larger in volume; the other was only the size of two fists, appeared pitch-black, and looked completely unremarkable.

Ouyang Mei'er continued: "These two pieces of stone were both mined from the old pits in Myanmar and are of extremely high quality. To let everyone better understand these two stones, we will give everyone ten minutes to go up on stage and observe them. After ten minutes, the formal auction will begin!"

As soon as her voice fell, a wave of whispering broke out in the audience.

Lei Qianqian stood up, a flash of excitement in her eyes: "Ye Feng, Ruoxue, I'm going up to take a look."

"My family is in the jewelry business. This large stone has a nice color; maybe it can yield some good material!"

Qi Ruoxue nodded, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Qianqian, this thing is a bit risky. Be careful not to lose everything in it!"

Lei Qianqian smiled, her tone carrying a hint of confidence: "Don't worry, my eye for this is still very sharp!"

Ye Feng also stood up and whispered: "I'll go up and take a look too."

Lei Qianqian and Ye Feng walked onto the stage together and arrived in front of the two stones.

Lei Qianqian examined the large stone carefully, her eyes full of anticipation.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng stood in front of the small, pitch-black stone, feeling a faint, strange sensation in his heart.

"This stone seems unusual."

Ye Feng whispered to himself, then activated his Heavenly Sun Divine Eye, intending to examine it carefully.

However, the moment he activated the Heavenly Sun Divine Eye, his vision actually penetrated Lei Qianqian's clothes and saw her body directly.

Ye Feng's heart jolted, and his nosebleed almost sprayed out.

He hurriedly lowered his head, secretly suppressing his body's reaction, and blamed himself inwardly: "Ye Feng, how can you be so shameless? What are you looking at!"

Lei Qianqian noticed Ye Feng's oddity and turned to ask: "Ye Feng, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so pale!"

The moment Lei Qianqian turned around, the two things bouncing in front of her were seen by Ye Feng again. This time, Ye Feng couldn't hold it back, and a nosebleed sprayed out directly!

He hurriedly covered his nose, his tone carrying a hint of panic: "N-nothing, maybe I didn't rest well last night!"

Lei Qianqian looked at him suspiciously: "You seem to have a nosebleed, do you want to go to the hospital to get it checked?"

Ye Feng hurriedly wiped away the nosebleed and waved his hand, saying: "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Afterwards, he took a deep breath, refocused his spirit, and cast the gaze of his Heavenly Sun Divine Eye toward those two pieces of stone material.

This time, his gaze penetrated the surface of the stone material and saw the scene inside.

"The quality is indeed not bad!"

Ye Feng stared at the brightly colored stone material and affirmed.

Immediately following that, he turned his gaze toward the unremarkable but seemingly extraordinary pitch-black stone material.

With just one glance, Ye Feng was instantly stunned!

"This... this is Imperial Green Jade!"

A stormy sea surged in Ye Feng's heart.

He clearly saw that inside that small, pitch-black piece of stone material, there was actually hidden a crystal-clear piece of Imperial Green Jade!

And this piece of material was also very large, so large that Ye Feng glanced at Lei Qianqian's pair again, hmm... it was enough to compare with them!

This kind of jadeite is extremely rare and worth a fortune, even several times more precious than the large piece of stone material Lei Qianqian had taken a fancy to.

Ye Feng's heart was filled with surprise, but on the surface, he still maintained his composure.

"This piece of stone material can be bought!"

Ye Feng withdrew his Heavenly Sun Divine Eye, then patted Lei Qianqian on the shoulder and said in a firm tone.
