Chapter 134 - Chaos at the Auction House

“Hiss!”The moment the black cloth slid off the iron cage, many people below drew a sharp breath of cold air.

Soon after, a wave of exclamations coursed through the entire hall.

“She’s so beautiful, the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“She’s like a fairy descended from heaven!

If I could have her first time, even if it costs me five years of my life, I would be willing!”

The beauty imprisoned in the iron cage was dressed in silk garments, with a bosom so full it left onlookers yearning for more.

Her face, exquisite with a hint of frost, was slightly furrowed in dismay, perfectly encapsulating the phrase “not of this world.”

The men seated beneath the auction stage had sparks of greed flickering in their eyes, swallowing hard, unable to contain themselves.

Which man in this world doesn’t like beautiful women?

Who doesn’t wish to exclusively possess such beauty?

And especially a beauty who could be likened to a fairy.

In a private room on the second floor, as soon as Song Zhong saw the woman in the cage, his eyes were fixed; he couldn’t look away.

Song Zhong, who usually boasted about the influence of the Songs in Capital City, had played with more women than he could count on his fingers.

But the woman in the cage was too beautiful, perhaps even more so than Bai Xueling, the number one beauty of Capital City!

No wonder Song Zhong was spellbound.

“This beauty, I, Song Zhong, must have her today, no matter the cost,” Song Zhong declared resolutely.

The male host on the auction stage was very pleased with the response from the buyers but it was all within his expectations.

Clearing his throat, he announced, “The final highlight of today’s auction will now begin.”

“Three million.”

“Three million five hundred thousand.”

“Five million.”

“Ten million.”

Within just a little over a minute, the bidding had surged from three million to an astonishing ten million and showed no signs of stopping.

Some men were even ready to spend all their wealth to obtain the beauty in the cage, completely losing their rationality.

At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds—to win the beauty for themselves.

Ye Chenfeng, in a private room on the second floor, underwent a tumult of emotions upon seeing the lady in the cage, his body trembling slightly as he whispered, “Xue Qi, Xue Qi.”

After a moment, he shook his head bitterly and murmured, “She’s not Xue Qi, she just looks a lot like her.”

It turned out the devastating beauty in the cage bore an uncanny resemblance to Luo Xueqi, Ye Chenfeng’s girlfriend and partner from his past life, even their cool demeanor was identical.

However, in his past life, Luo Xueqi was only icy towards others; with Ye Chen, she was a gentle lamb that loved to act coquettishly.

Watching the familiar face in the cage below, his mind was flooded with memories from his past life.

His fists clenched tighter and his body began to shake slightly.

Brother Hu, sitting nearby, noticed Ye Chenfeng’s unusual behavior but didn’t dare to disturb him.

So he quietly asked Mao Kangping, “Big Brother Mao, what’s wrong with Mr.

Ye?”

Mao Kangping couldn’t understand why Mr.

Ye, who had always been calm and collected, suddenly lost his composure.

However, when he saw the way Ye Chenfeng looked at the woman in the iron cage downstairs, he guessed softly, “I think Mr.

Ye might have taken a fancy to the stunning beauty in the cage.”

Brother Hu trembled and said with a pained expression, “Brother Mao, the auction price has already risen above ten million.

Even if I want to help Mr.

Ye, I’m helpless now!”

Although Brother Hu had been mingling in the border trading market for many years, his assets capped at around ten million.

Now, the bidding price for the beauty in the cage had far exceeded his total assets, so even if he wanted to curry favor with Ye Chenfeng, the esteemed figure, he was indeed powerless.

“Seventeen million.”

“Eighteen million.”

The auction price continued to climb, and the middle-aged fat man in the private room on the second floor, following Song Zhong’s instruction, raised a sign toward the floor below, emblazoned with “Thirty million.”

Song Zhong immediately elevated the price by almost double, evidently determined to obtain the striking beauty in the cage. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The auction hall became quiet for a while because of Song Zhong’s bid, but as these men looked at the beauty in the cage, their heads and the things beneath them filled with blood, and one after another, they started calling out prices again.

The woman in the iron cage showed a trace of disgust on her cool, gentle face, her bright eyes brimming with fear and anger.

She knew if she ended up in the hands of these men below, she would undoubtedly face dark days ahead.

Thinking of this, her complexion turned even paler.

The woman’s every move in the iron cage was fully captured by Ye Chenfeng on the second floor.

For some reason, a pain spread through his heart.

Perhaps it was because the woman’s features closely resembled those of his girlfriend and partner from his previous life, Luo Xueqi, causing him to unconsciously see the woman as Luo Xueqi.

“Xue Qi, how are you faring in that era?” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help muttering to himself.

Song Zhong in the adjacent private room was so furious that he was hopping mad, cursing, “These bastards actually dare to vie with the young master for a woman?

They are truly a bunch of Nymphs seeking death.”

Although Song Zhong was a direct descendant of the Songs of Capital City, the funds he could command were limited.

Thankfully, he ran a business that was neither big nor small.

However, he could draw at most sixty million this time, pushing his enterprise toward the brink of closure!

If his grandfather and father were to find out that he was willing to pay such a hefty price for a woman, he would definitely not have good days ahead when he returned to the Songs, hence his rage.

If the beauty could have been won with just thirty million earlier, he wouldn’t be so explosively angry now.

As the price rose higher and higher, Ye Chenfeng finally decided to make a move.

However, he didn’t plan to call out a bid, after all, he hadn’t brought any money with him on this trip.

So, he could only cause a stir at the auction, directly rescuing the woman in the cage.

“Rip—” With that sound, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothing and covered his face.

After all, Brother Hu had mentioned that the person behind the scenes here was from the Ancient Martial World, and it was possible that they might be more formidable than Ye Chen.

Taking precautions by covering his face was justifiable.

“Mr.

Ye, what are you doing?” Brother Hu and Mao Kangping, curious about Ye Chenfeng’s strange behavior, asked.

Ye Chenfeng simply said, “You two better leave quickly, otherwise you might get involved later.”

Before Brother Hu and Mao Kangping could react, Ye Chenfeng’s figure had already darted out of the private room, not taking the stairs but jumping straight down from the second floor.
