Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 289 Liu Erlong Arrives

Meanwhile, in the second private room of the Earth section...

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the hard, iron-like sandalwood armrest in the private room shattered under Liu Erlong's suddenly clenched jade hand!

Her deep, beautiful eyes, which had been shining with confidence, suddenly narrowed, and her face was covered with frost.

one million!

The number made her gasp, her chest heaving violently, and the hourglass figure, breathtakingly shaped beneath her long black dress, undulated with it.

An overwhelming sense of disappointment, anger, and frustration swept over me!
It's that same voice! That young male voice...

Who is he? !

Among the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who could so casually utter a million gold soul coins?!

Is he a hidden figure from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Or was he personally instructed by Ning Fengzhi?
Liu Erlong thought to himself, "One million!"

It wasn't that she couldn't afford the money, but she was, after all, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, and the entire academy needed her to manage it.

At this moment, the host's voice was so excited that it was distorted and filled with disbelief. He spoke loudly and rapidly, his eyes fixed intently on Liu Erlong.

"One million! This distinguished guest has bid one million gold soul coins! One million for the first time!"

"I wonder if anyone else has placed another bid?"

There was a brief silence.

"One million, for the second time!"

The host raised his voice again.

At this moment, Liu Erlong clenched his fists tightly.

Price increase?

Increase it to 1.2 million?

1500000?

But the way the other party could so readily shout "one million" showed...

No matter how much you add, the other party will likely raise the price again without hesitation!
Furthermore, his actions might even incur the displeasure of the higher-ups of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

"That's all..."

In the end, Liu Erlong shook her head in dejection, but she quickly rallied.

"Perhaps we could try other methods to obtain this herb?"

And as Liu Erlong stopped raising the price...

"One million, for the third time! Sold!"

"clang--!"

As the small golden hammer, symbolizing the auctioneer's right to the item, fell heavily, it struck the specially made jade chime.

It produced a clear and melodious sound that resonated throughout the entire venue.

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the penthouse suite! This rare and exquisite Soul-Sculpting Orchid is now yours!"

The moment the gavel fell, Liu Erlong stood up and walked out of the private room.

However, she did not seem to be angry or embarrassed about the failed auction and was preparing to leave.

On the contrary, the direction she walked seemed to be the top-floor private room where Dai Chengfeng was.

…………

…………

Meanwhile, inside the top-floor private room.

As the auction concluded, Dai Chengfeng calmly withdrew his gaze from the audience, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips, tinged with a cold mockery.

Ning Rongrong then leaned closer to Dai Chengfeng, her small face full of curiosity and the lingering excitement from the auction:

"Dai Chengfeng, is it appropriate for you to spend so much money on this? It's so expensive!"

Dai Chengfeng looked down at Ning Rongrong's questioning eyes, his gaze sweeping over her lovely face, and smiled.

“This is your family business, shouldn’t you think the more expensive I bid, the better?” Ning Rongrong shook her head upon hearing this, “Logically speaking, that should be the case, after all, people won’t complain about having too much money.”

"But you're different. They consider you a good friend, so naturally they don't want you to waste your money."

Her clear and pleasant voice, carrying the unique charm of a young girl and a touch of genuine worry, was like a warm breeze...

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Dai Chengfeng paused slightly, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that Ning Rongrong, the notoriously willful and capricious little devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, would say such a thing.

But at this moment, with her little nose slightly wrinkled and her clear eyes full of genuine concern for him, she didn't seem to be lying.

Moreover, Dai Chengfeng didn't think she was lying. After all, Ning Rongrong, who had never met Tang San, couldn't possibly have such deep scheming.

It seems that this little devil from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't entirely unpleasant.

least……

Her protection and concern for friends she truly trusts are genuine.

Thinking about it, Dai Chengfeng's cold and hard facial features softened a little, and he revealed a faint smile. "It's okay."

"The value of something is never just its price tag."

"For me, what matters most is where its value lies."

“Although this Soul-Sculpting Orchid is expensive,” Dai Chengfeng explained patiently, looking into Ning Rongrong’s curious eyes, “it is very important to me. It has its own reason for existing, and…”

Dai Chengfeng paused, glancing coldly at the direction of the VIP box below, "I can take this opportunity to strike a blow against any 'enemies' I don't like."

"No matter how you look at it, this money was well spent."

Ning Rongrong's beautiful blue eyes widened instantly, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice.

"Strike the enemy?"

She repeated unconsciously, her small face showing a mixture of confusion and eager excitement, "You mean... Dean Liu?"

How could she be your enemy?

"Do you have a feud?"

Ning Rongrong couldn't understand how Liu Erlong, who had a fiery temper but a good reputation, could have gotten into a feud with Dai Chengfeng, who had just arrived in the capital of Tiandou.

Looking at Ning Rongrong's face, which was full of gossip, Dai Chengfeng knew that the little devil's curiosity had been completely piqued, and he was about to say a few words to explain.

dong dong!

Boom boom boom!
But just then, a knock on the door suddenly rang out!
The conversation inside the private room came to an abrupt end.

Dai Chengfeng, Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, Chenxin...

Almost everyone looked up at the door at the same time.

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity and annoyance at being interrupted, and she grumbled with a hint of temper:
"Who is it? Why are you knocking at this hour?"

Although a hint of surprise flashed across Ning Fengzhi's eyes, after all, who could interrupt the auction?

However, his composure as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School allowed him to quickly regain his gentle demeanor.

He put down his teacup and called out loudly towards the door:
"Please come in."

The door was silently pushed open from the outside by a servant.

A tall, elegant figure appeared at the doorway. She wore a sharply tailored black dress and had an exquisitely beautiful face.

The newcomer was none other than Liu Erlong, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, who had just suffered a setback at the auction!

"Dean Liu?"

Ning Fengzhi's face showed surprise, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was somewhat dissatisfied.

Could it be that they're here to cause trouble because they didn't bid on Dai Chengfeng earlier?

However, Ning Fengzhi felt that it was unlikely.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Liu Erlong shouldn't be that kind of fool.

And considering that the other party was, after all, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, even if she was just an illegitimate daughter...

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi finally nodded slightly, "You are a rare guest, please come in."
