C161 Snake Egg for Auction
The matter had already passed, and they might not even meet again in the future. As long as Gu Li Na doesn't do something annoying again, Luo Jianjian can spare her. However, she hopes that Gu Li Na can live up to her generosity.
"Oh? An adult here has bid forty thousand gold, is there a higher bid? "
At this moment, there were a lot of people at the auction venue. Most of them didn't know who was who, so they couldn't accept who was who.
Very soon, someone started clamoring, "41,000 gold!"
Gu Li Na shook the Great Elder's arm. The Great Elder opened his mouth in pain, "45,000 gold!"
The Great Elder's heart was bleeding. He had originally thought that directly raising the price to 40,000 was already the limit. No one would steal a mere piece of clothing from him.
Unfortunately, his guess was wrong.
That person was also a character, so it was impossible to see his appearance clearly. All they could hear was his exasperated voice, "46,000 taels."
"Father, I do want it. Can you help your daughter buy it?" She knew that as long as it was something she wanted, her father would help her get it, even if it meant paying any price!
However, that man … Was she really unlucky?
To be honest, she wasn't willing to give up, but she knew that if she continued doing as she overestimated herself, Murong Yun would be able to crush her to death without Luo Jianjian making a move.
If Eighth Prince and Murong Yun wanted to kill someone, it would be a piece of cake for them to kill a woman.
The Great Elder's heart ached so much that his liver hurt. He looked at his daughter's hopeful expression and could not bear to refuse. Forget it.
"Fifty thousand!" As the First Elder called out this price, the barber was silent for a moment before he said, "Fifty one thousand taels."
The Great Elder's eyes were bloodshot. "Sixty thousand!"
The scene instantly turned silent.
That person cleared his throat and lowered his head. No one could see what he looked like nor did they think that he was that extraordinary of a person. However, he angrily replied, "About that, let me ask, if I raise the price again, will senior be unable to resist and take action?"
When the Great Elder was asked this question in front of the crowd, he was unable to show it on the surface. That's right, that was his thought. If that person still wanted to raise the price with him, then he would let that person have it first. Killing for the goods! Anyway, these kinds of things happen very often.
"You can try." The Head Elder said sinisterly.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Was this a threat? Yes, it must be a threat!
That person curled his lips as he thought of something that would make him lower his head even further. "Forget it, I don't really like this set of clothes. Since senior wants it, then just give it to senior."
Great Elder: "…"
You don't like it so much, yet you keep raising the price with him? Originally, he could have bought it with 40,000 taels, but now he had another 20,000 taels! And it even looked like she was giving alms to him? What a joke! He had spent a lot of money to buy it!
This episode was hilarious. Next, there were some goods that Prime Minister Luo was interested in, and also some that the Crown Prince Mu Zhaoyang had bought.
In short, most of the goods were in the hands of people Luo Jianjian knew well.
At last, the most exciting part was still the display of the goods by the woman, "The next item is different from the last one. Everyone, wait and see!"
"This is a giant serpent Snake Egg with poisonous teeth, and it's about to hatch. Everyone can see how big this Snake Egg is, so it's not hard to imagine what the snake inside will look like after it grows."
"According to what I know, when this snake grows to the later stages, it will be over ten meters long. Its body is as thick as a beam and its destructive power is extremely strong. If I can tame this snake from a young age, it will undoubtedly be a huge benefit for me." Just thinking about that scene would have been too much of a surprise.
Luo Jianjian stood up abruptly. This egg... It was extremely similar to what he had seen in the Devil Forest back then! However, it looked slightly smaller than the previous one.
However, Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun were people who had personally witnessed the hatching of the Snake Egg and had also seen how the snake would look like after it had grown.
What was even more agitated than Luo Jianjian was naturally her Liang Family.2
Their goal this time was right here, they had just seen so many items that were tempted and held back from bidding, only buying a few that had a reasonable price. They still had several tens of thousands of gold with them, afraid that they would fall for the Snake Egg and capture it today!
"Are these people that greedy?" Luo Jianjian was deeply moved. She guessed that this was the same kind of snake as the big snake? How sad would it be to have its Snake Egg stolen?
"There are countless greedy people in this world. I can't see them clearly. The strong preys on the weak. Even such a huge monster cannot escape death." Lin Zimo was obviously the one who said this, and it was obvious that he couldn't bear it.
It was not easy to produce such a beast. However, once this snake broke out of its shell and was about to be tamed, it was not hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be greeted with. Perhaps its owner would even beat it to death because of its untamed personality?
There were many things like this. Some wild beasts would retaliate against their masters, but in order to live, even if it was difficult for one to obtain it, they could only ruthlessly destroy it.
"Buy it." At this moment, Murong Yun had already prepared his body and pulled Luo Jianjian back onto his lap.
Luo Jianjian habitually found a comfortable seat in his embrace, "I don't want to buy it, I just don't have the heart to."
"It's not easy for people to be born. It's even more difficult for beasts like the snake to survive. They have to be tamed and changed to other people to think about it. How uncomfortable must it be for a mother to be a child?"
She did not want to buy it, nor did she want to tame it. Furthermore, she did not have the confidence to keep it alive. She still remembered the history of her breeding species and the final outcome.
"I know. I will buy it and keep it. If you don't want it, then let it go." Murong Yun's words gave Luo Jianjian a good suggestion.
That's right, she could release her life if she didn't want to!
"Alright then, I'll buy it!" Luo Jianjian had at least a few hundred thousand yuan on her. She should be able to buy it, right?
"If it's too expensive …" Luo Jianjian gritted her teeth. Forget it.
"The starting price is fifty thousand silver."
Many people from large clans were tempted. If it was really as the auctioneers had said, then who could raise it and raise it up? Wouldn't it be invincible in the future?
"I bid 60,000 silver!"
"I bid 65,000 silver!"
"Seventy thousand!"
"Seventy-five thousand!"
Even Prime Minister Luo was tempted. It must have been Luo Yuyan who instigated him, right? "Otherwise, how could Prime Minister Luo bear to pay such a high price?" "Eighty thousand!"
However, Liang Fengqi from Liang Family was even more unwilling to give up. He raised the price to the highest point: "One hundred thousand!"
They can pay up to one hundred and fifty thousand, so... Liang Fengqi was still a bit conservative.
Prime Minister Luo was speechless. He couldn't offer such a high price.
Crown Prince Mu Zhaoyang was also very interested, "One hundred and ten thousand."
