Chapter 75: Playing cards not according to the rules

Everyone turned their heads at the sound, only to see a certain private room on the second floor. At this moment, the door was tightly closed, and it was impossible to see who was inside.

“Who’s in that private room?”

“Fifty thousand gold coins, what wealth.”

“It’s two thousand higher than the market price. Why not sell it outside?”

The host glanced strangely at the person in the room, then suppressed his emotions and dutifully said, “Fifty thousand gold coins once; is there anyone else bidding?”

Silence ensued below.

“Fifty thousand gold coins were sold twice; fifty thousand gold coins were sold. Congratulations to the customer in the purple room for winning the Grade Seven Bright Fire Crystal Core. Our staff will assist you with the transaction. Now, let’s proceed to auction the second item.”

“Evil Wind Sword, one meter long, weighs a hundred catties, silver all over, made of mysterious iron. It can withstand the full force of any magician below the level of a great mage in emergencies. Starting bid is fifty thousand gold coins.”

“One hundred thousand gold coins.”

Before the bidding could even begin, the person in the private room spoke again.

The crowd: “…”

Are we even going to bid anymore? Just buy everything already!

Who auctions like this?

Add another fifty thousand gold coins directly!

Having money doesn’t make you great!

However, what followed truly became a show of dominance by the owner of that private room.

Every time the host finished stating the starting bid, she immediately countered with a price higher than the market price, making it impossible for anyone to raise the bid.

Even representatives from the four major families remained silent, rendering the entire auction hall eerily quiet.

The situation in the room was as follows:

“Starting bid, one hundred thousand gold coins.”

“Two hundred thousand gold coins.”

“Starting bid, one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.”

“Three hundred thousand gold coins.”

The crowd: “…”

Let me tell you, you’re going to get beaten up like this. Do you believe me?

The Crimson Feather Auction is held monthly, featuring a flagship item in each auction.

Finally, the auction came to an end under these bizarre circumstances.

“The last item, Superior Marrow Cleansing Pill! The starting bid is five hundred thousand gold coins.”

Unlike other items, the host did not elaborate much on this one.

But everyone knew the value of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Its market price was five hundred thousand gold coins, but it was priceless because there were few alchemists, and even fewer capable of producing superior quality ones.

“Five hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.”

“Six hundred thousand gold coins.”

“Six hundred thousand gold coins.”

Unlike the previous eerie silence, as soon as the Marrow Cleansing Pill appeared, everyone began bidding, continuously raising the bid by fifty thousand gold coins each time.

The price quickly reached one million gold coins, with most people below giving up, leaving only representatives from the four major families competing.

“Host, don’t you want it?”

Su Hua rolled her eyes. “It’s just a Marrow Cleansing Pill, not needed.”

Talking as if I have any say in the matter.

Of course, I do.

#Found a new quirk of the host again#

In the end, the Meng family won the bid.

This is the Shengyuan Continent, divided into three powers: the Dongxu Kingdom, the Huanglan Kingdom, and the Baiqi Kingdom, with each power evenly matched and balancing each other.

Su Hua’s country is the Dongxu Kingdom, where the female protagonist, Meng Yunxin, also resides. She is the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, one of the four major families, but considered a waste.

The original host’s name was Yao Hua, a daughter of a concubine of the second-rate Yao family in the Huanglan Kingdom. She failed to seduce the male lead, Long Ao, and was killed on the spot by the male lead’s men and thrown to the doorstep of the Yao family. Feeling ashamed, the Yao family tossed Yao Hua to a pauper’s grave.

After waking up at the pauper’s grave, Su Hua crossed through that forest and arrived near Shixiang City in the Dongxu Kingdom.

As the auction ended, many people looked towards Su Hua’s private room, wanting to see who was sitting there.

Of course, they also knew that private rooms had back doors and, usually, important figures left through them.

But they still held on to a glimmer of hope.

“Miss Yao, there’s a back door here for you to exit.”

Su Hua looked at him in confusion. “Why should I leave through the back door?”

“Uh… of course, it’s to keep too many people from knowing it’s you…” The host was a bit confused.

“I’ve finished showing off already, how can I not let them know it’s me who is showing off?”

Was she someone who exits through the back door? Absolutely not!

The host: “…”

Before the host could say anything, Su Hua opened the door from the front and, to the astonishment of the crowd, swaggered downstairs.

Meanwhile, the guards were arranged by the four major families at the back door: “…”

Masters, she went out through the front door.

Masters: Why don’t you play your cards according to the rules? So angry!
