Although she said this, in reality, she no longer held out any hope.
After all, the price had already become outrageously high.
In the private room where Long Xuan was located, the head butler looked at Long Xuan with a troubled expression.
He truly did not wish to continue bidding.
Putting aside whether he had that much Qing Jing coins, even if he did, it was truly unnecessary.
It was merely a good-looking half-human, not worth such an investment.
However, Long Xuan paid no mind.
In her life, what was there that she couldn't obtain?
Now, she had set her sights on this half-human, and someone dared to compete with her!
Long Xuan stood up from the sofa and walked to the window. Without waiting for the head butler to speak further, she said herself, "1.5 million!"
"2 million!"
Shen Xiaoyan bid again almost immediately after Long Xuan finished speaking.
Even she found it strange.
The voice still came from the opposite private room, but it had changed from a man's to a young girl's.
Could it be that this girl was the true owner?
Wu Shuai, Elder Wu, and the others, however, focused on a different matter.
Shen Xiaoyan had only offered 100 immortal crystals. One immortal crystal was equal to 10,000 Qing Jing coins, so 100 immortal crystals were merely 1 million.
Wu Shuai had already felt his heart ache excessively when Shen Xiaoyan bid 1 million just now.
Before even seeing the 1 million Qing Jing coins, Shen Xiaoyan had thrown them away in the blink of an eye.
Who would have thought that there was someone even crazier on the other side, bidding 1.5 million?
But Shen Xiaoyan was the craziest, bidding 2 million.
Where did she get 2 million Qing Jing coins?
"This, my lady..." Elder Wu also spoke.
Their auction house did not accept credit.
"Here!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xiaoyan, without even looking back, tossed him another cloth bag.
Elder Wu instinctively reached out to catch it. The bag felt about twice as heavy as the previous one.
Elder Wu had a vague guess, but he dared not believe it.
Without delay, he did not waste any time and opened the cloth bag to look inside.
Upon seeing this, he was startled.
Inside, neatly arranged, were exactly 200 immortal crystals.
Elder Wu was now almost certain that this woman who appeared out of nowhere must be from a prominent family, otherwise, how could she carry so many immortal crystals on her person?
Of course, this had nothing to do with him.
With these 200 immortal crystals, he couldn't control how much Shen Xiaoyan bid.
Wu Shuai watched this scene, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
Long Xuan stared fixedly at the window in front of her, almost wishing she could see through the opposite window to identify the woman challenging her in the adjacent private room.
Originally, her interest in this half-human was fleeting.
Seeing his handsome appearance, it would be nice to buy him to play with.
But now, whether this half-human could be bought was of no importance.
What mattered was that she absolutely had to make this woman who opposed her look bad!
Secretly making up her mind, Long Xuan said again, "2.5 million!"
"3 million!"
Long Xuan clenched her fists, it was like this again!
It was like this again!
The woman on the other side did not even think, immediately bidding after hearing her words.
It was as if this 500,000 Qing Jing coins meant nothing to her.
Was she saying she was richer than Long Xuan?
Long Xuan wanted to speak again, but was stopped by the head butler who had been silent all this time.
"Miss, that's enough!"
These simple four words truly silenced Long Xuan.
Even though Long Xuan was still extremely unconvinced, she did not continue bidding.
Below, Xiang Fei waited for a while. Seeing that the private room where Long Xuan was located remained silent, she knew that they would not continue bidding.
Although there was some disappointment, it did not affect her excitement at all.
3 million!
A full 3 million Qing Jing coins!
This was truly unprecedented.
Especially since the item sold for 3 million was a half-human.
It was even more unbelievable.
Controlling her emotions as much as possible, Xiang Fei said, "Good, the current highest bid is 3 million Qing Jing coins. Is anyone else bidding?"
The answer Xiang Fei received was naturally silence.
Xiang Fei was not displeased with this.
She then said, "3 million, first call!"
"3 million, second call!"
"3 million... ."
"Third call!"
"Bang!"
The sound of the hammer striking echoed in everyone's ears, yet it felt as if it was pounding on their hearts, making everyone tremble.
Looking at Xiang Fei's smiling face on stage, everyone still felt as if they were in a dream.
Everything happened too fast, so fast it was unbelievable.
It was only after hearing this sound that Shen Xiaoyan finally relaxed completely.
Elder Wu felt a slight sense of disappointment.
Why didn't the person on the other side continue bidding?
If they had continued, perhaps they could have gotten another 100 immortal crystals!
Although he thought this way, he still smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, my lady!"
Shen Xiaoyan nodded with a faint smile, and with a wave of her right hand, another cloth bag appeared in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Elder Wu's heart tightened. Could this be more immortal crystals?
"There are 200 immortal crystals here. Please have Elder Wu deliver the Qing Jing coins later."
Elder Wu took the cloth bag and was so overjoyed he didn't know what to do.
Just now, he had only been thinking about how good it would be if he could get another 100 immortal crystals.
Who would have thought that in the next moment, another 200 would appear.
Although they had sold a half-human, not only had they not received any Qing Jing coins, but they had to give away 2 million more. Yet, Elder Wu not only felt no sadness but was extremely excited.
"My lady, please wait a moment. The half-human and the Qing Jing coins will be delivered to you shortly."
Seeing Elder Wu and the other leave, Wu Shuai could no longer hold back.
"Eldest Miss, do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it? To spend 3 million to bid for a half-human, you..."
"We'll leave first. If anyone asks, you can say you don't know who bid for this half-human."
Shen Xiaoyan said this with an unusually serious expression, not joking at all.
Wu Shuai looked somewhat puzzled. "No, why is that?"
"No reason!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Wu, who had just left, returned. This time, he was accompanied by Shen Xiaoming, who was being escorted by two burly men. However, for some reason, Shen Xiaoming was unconscious.
"My lady, this spatial ring contains 2 million Qing Jing coins. This is that half-human. Please accept it, my lady. The spatial ring is also given to you as a welcome gift. With your bid of a million, you are considered a major client of our Sheng Yu Auction House."
Shen Xiaoyan listened and took the spatial ring. Without checking the coins inside, she directly put it on her finger. "Then thank you, Elder Wu. Does this auction house have a back door so we can leave first?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wu understood.
Shen Xiaoyan had bid a million solely to acquire a half-human.
It was likely that everyone in the auction house had already considered her a fat sheep.
Especially the person in the opposite private room who had been bidding against her, they must have considered her a thorn in their side.
If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to leave later.
Understanding the implications, Elder Wu did not delay and led Shen Xiaoyan and the others out of the private room, leaving Wu Shuai alone in the room, watching them leave with his mouth agape.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others followed Elder Wu to the fourth floor. After walking along the corridor for a while, they saw another staircase.
"Going down here leads to the back door of the auction grounds. Outsiders don't know about this. From here, you can leave via another street, and I can only help you this far."
Shen Xiaoyan nodded. "Thank you very much."
Saying this, Shen Xiaoyan took out several immortal crystals and stuffed them into Elder Wu's embrace. "This is for your trouble!"
After speaking, she turned and walked downstairs without looking back.
Zheng Wei and the others quickly followed, leaving Elder Wu standing alone, staring blankly at the immortal crystals in his embrace.
After half a day, he sighed in his heart, truly a prominent family member. To thank someone, they used immortal crystals, several at a time.
Counting them, there were as many as 8. After absorbing these, it would be enough for him to improve his cultivation.
Although he had bought a lot from Shen Xiaoyan earlier, that was all for the auction house. These few immortal crystals were truly his own.
How could this not make Elder Wu happy?
