As soon as the sweet voice was heard, the noisy chatter gradually quieted down, and everyone gazed intently at the stage in the center of the auction house.
Although Nangong Yu was the sister of Southern Mansion, Nangong Mansion Master had never brought her here. Curious, she asked, "Who is that woman? She spoke and instantly made this chaotic scene so quiet."
"Don't you know? She's the star host of Lanxuan Auction House, with a sweet voice and stunning looks. Many times, people in the auction have raised prices beyond the actual value just because of her words. Besides, most of the bidders are men; can you achieve that effect?"
Xuanran seized the rare opportunity to show off and looked at Nangong Yu with a proud expression.
"It seems you pay quite a bit of attention to beautiful women. I want to see just how captivating she really is."
Nangong Yu walked toward the curtains of the VIP room and pulled them aside. She saw that a white light sphere, large enough for two people to embrace, was hanging from the ceiling of the Auction House hall.
Under the illumination of this white light sphere, there was not a single dark spot in the entire auction house. In the center of the Auction House, a square Platform was slowly rising. It stopped when it reached about one meter in height.
On the Platform, there stood a woman with a wooden hammer placed on another Platform in front of her. In front of her, a special amplifier made from what appeared to be beast bones was suspended in mid-air.
Seeing this, Nangong Yu suddenly complained, "It's too far away; I can't see clearly. I'm not watching anymore."
She turned around to return to her seat and wait for the auction to begin, but as she turned, she noticed Xuanran beside her, holding a cylindrical object up to his right eye while squinting with his left.
Nangong Yu snatched it away and said, "What is this? Let me try it." She held it up to her own eyes and was so startled that she immediately dropped the cylindrical object on the ground.
She patted her chest and exclaimed, "What kind of thing is this? It's terrifying! When I looked through it, I saw a huge mouth; those lips were like ham!"
"Who told you to just take it and look at me without asking? This is called a telescope; of course, it looks scary up close. If you hold it up and look at something far away, I guarantee it won't be like this," Xuanran said irritably.
Nangong Yu, half-convinced, picked up the object that Xuanran referred to as a telescope and looked at the host on the central Platform. Indeed, Nangong Yu found that the host seemed to be standing right in front of him.
The exquisite, fair face had long black hair cascading down to her waist. She wore a Crimson Evening Gown that revealed her slender arms and slightly exposed shoulders.
At that moment, the surroundings fell silent as the host, Xiao Die, extended her long right hand and brought the Bone Amplifier to her mouth.
Xiao Die said, "I am very happy to be hosting again today. First, I wish everyone a great time and, most importantly, to find the treasures they need."
"I believe everyone has seen the posts in hand and knows the rules of our Auction House, so I won't waste any more time. Let's start with the first Auction Item to warm things up and let everyone get ready."
"This first item is..." Xiao Die intentionally dragged out her words.
At that moment, the crowd below erupted in excitement, actively shouting.
"I bid 100 One Million Spirit Coins."
"I bid 200 million."
"300 million."
A Jade Tablet slowly descended from above towards the counter in front of Xiao Die.
"Cough cough!" At this moment, Xiao Die coughed twice, and the crowd below immediately fell silent.
Xiao Die smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you all for thinking so highly of me, but of course, it won't be me. The first item is my favorite Combat Technique, 'Twisting Blossom Sword Dance.' Why do I like it? Not only because of the word 'dance' in this Combat Technique, but also because it has a story."
"This Combat Technique is said to have been created by a woman who had a husband, and they loved each other very much. However, during an attempt to fend off the Beast Tide, he died. To express her longing for her husband, she continuously danced a dance that she had performed for him."
"One day, while she was lost in her dance in the garden as usual, she heard a servant outside hurriedly saying, 'Madam, the Li Family is coming towards our home with great force; the situation is dire. I also heard that the Beast Tide was deliberately summoned by them.'"
"Upon hearing this, the lady did not say a word and continued dancing. However, at that moment, her heart was filled with murderous intent. As she danced, she conjured petals from her Origin Force with her fingers; with each step of her dance, a petal flew out. Those flying petals were sharper than swords, piercing through rocks and trees everywhere."
"In the end, the woman danced faster and faster. When the Li Family attacked, she moved swiftly while continuing to dance. In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Li Family became corpses. At that moment, the woman took out a Jade Tablet and inscribed her Combat Technique onto it before placing it into a Narcissistic Ring and finally tossing the Narcissistic Ring into the garden."
"After doing all this, the woman smiled slightly and murmured, 'Husband, I have finally avenged you, and I did it using your favorite dance.' She then conjured a Vital Petal and slid it towards her throat."
Afterward, there was complete silence in the large auction hall for a full minute.
At this time, Xiao Die spoke again: "Although it's quite sad, I really like it. I believe many girls feel the same way as I do. Alright, that's enough of the story; this can be considered the first Auction Item ever prepared specifically for women. And it's also an excellent gift for young men to win over young ladies."
"Without further ado, this Auction Item starts at 1 Million Spirit Coins, with increments of 10 thousand. The bidding begins now."
Regardless of whether this story was true or not, it certainly moved many people. At this moment, Nangong Yu also lost interest in playing with the telescope; she sat next to Ruo Xi and they whispered to each other.
Indeed, women are emotional beings; as soon as the bidding started, a woman raised her bidding paddle and shouted, "I bid 50 thousand."
"0 million."
"50 thousand."
"Number 198 has reached One Million Spirit Coins. Is there anyone willing to bid higher? This is a rare opportunity, everyone should seize it! If I weren't hoping to reach the Earth Vein Realm, I would want to buy it myself." Xiao Die continued to stir the pot.
In fact, this Combat Techniques would have reached its peak at 0 million if it weren't for the story and its uniqueness.
At this moment, Xiao Die was quite satisfied, so she shouted, "Since no one is raising the bid, I will start the countdown."
"One million once."
"One million twice."
Just as she raised her hammer to call for the third time, someone shouted, "I bid 800 thousand."
