Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 41 His aura was finally no longer concealed and was revealed.

The moment the word "poison" was mentioned, Little Fairy Doctor's previously languid expression instantly brightened, and two flames of curiosity seemed to ignite in her eyes.

However, Ya Fei's keen eyes accurately captured this subtle change in expression.

"Oh? Sister Xian'er, are you interested in this Grade Three Illusionary Dream Poison Pill? If the Xiao family is interested in both of this seller's items, I am willing to negotiate with that gentleman on behalf of the Mittel family. We can transfer these two items to the Xiao family at the starting price, and the difference in price will be borne by our Mittel family. Consider it a way for the Mittel family to make friends with the Xiao family and Mr. Zhongli. What do you two think, Patriarch Xiao?" Ya Fei nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of confidence and anticipation.

"Ah? No, no, no! I was just curious for a moment, I didn't mean to buy it." Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand in a fluster, her fair little hand waving hurriedly in front of her chest.

At this moment, Zhongli gently placed his large, kind hand on Xiaoyixian's back, as if to soothe her emotions.

Then, he turned his head slightly, exchanged a meaningful glance with Xiao Zhan, and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhan laughed heartily: "Haha, if that's really the case, then that would be wonderful. Once the matter is finalized, please let me know the specific transaction price. My Xiao family will not try to take advantage of any loopholes."

"Alright, Clan Chief Xiao, Mr. Zhong, your auction room is number one in the Heavenly section. Please make the move, while I go and discuss the prices with the owners of these two items." Ya Fei smiled and gestured for them to proceed.

The moment the crystal curtain fell, a hundred luminous pearls suddenly lit up the dome.

The three glass walls of Room No. 1 reflected shimmering gold light, making the pigeon blood stone inlaid on the rosewood chair appear to pulsate as if it were alive.

The glass lamps cast a warm light between the golden nanmu beams hanging from the ceiling, their fine down almost sinking to the ankles.

The maid knelt behind the openwork rhinoceros horn screen with her head bowed. When the mutton fat jade pot was tilted, it overflowed with a clear tea fragrance, but no one paid attention to the water stain that was splashed on the brocade cushion.

Zhongli slowly walked to the stands, his long fingers gripping the gilded railing, his knuckles resting on the cool, carved jade.

The three-zhang-high crystal glass window offered a panoramic view of the entire auction hall, while the swarming crowd below couldn't even make out the subtle patterns on his dark yellow robe.

The agarwood from the South China Sea overflowed from the gaps in the openwork bronze beast incense burner, but it suddenly froze into a frost-colored mist when it touched the ice silk curtains, hovering three inches away from Xiao Zhan's black brocade robe.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and the thin layer of sweat on his palms seeped into dark lines on the rim of the rhinoceros horn cup.

Everyone was curiously looking around the room, their expressions of surprise and delight unconsciously turning blank and stiff.

In the No. 1 room, only Zhong Li and Xiao Xun'er could probably maintain a calm and composed expression.

Zhongli slowly sat down on a chair in the stands outside the curtain. The maids knelt with their heads bowed at the edge of the velvet carpet, and the sandalwood fragrance emanating from the openwork bronze beast entwined around the newly picked weeping crabapple blossoms in their hair.

Zhongli tapped the table beside him lightly with his fingers. A maidservant knelt down and presented him with a silver plate with a lotus pattern. Longan fruits were soaking in the cold water of Kunlun Mountain, and the peeled fruit was still covered with ice crystals.

The twelve-beaded crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast dappled light on Zhongli Xuan's yellow robe. He leaned lazily closer to the glass window, and the reflection of the neatly arranged placards in the circular seating area below shone in his pupils, like a galaxy falling into a deep pool.

In the brightly lit and lively auction venue, a highly anticipated auction officially began.

At this moment, an elderly man with gray hair and a weathered face slowly walked onto the stage.

A chorus of complaints immediately rose from the audience, like ripples spreading across a calm lake after a pebble has been thrown in.

"Wasn't it supposed to be Miss Ya Fei who hosted this auction? Why is it an old man now?" someone grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"What's going on? I came here specifically to see Miss Yafei!" another person couldn't help but shout.

"You beast! You beast! This is completely different from what was advertised on GG! Although the pictures are for reference only, the difference is too big. They even got the gender wrong!" someone complained loudly and emotionally.

"This is a scam! ***Give me my money back! Give me my money back!"

Seeing the situation below the stage gradually becoming chaotic, Master Gu Ni on the stage sighed slightly and shook his head helplessly.

He muttered to himself, "Maybe I should just apply to headquarters to transfer another woman over."

He then took a deep breath, channeling his inner energy to make his voice resonate clearly throughout the auction hall: "Please be quiet, everyone. Miss Ya Fei has some urgent matters to attend to, so I will temporarily preside over the auction for the first few items. Rest assured, Miss Ya Fei will be back shortly."

"Hey, how about this? Could we let Miss Ya Fei come up and auction the later items first, and then auction the first few items after she leaves? Or could we just let the first few items go unsold? Or is Miss Ya Fei off having a secret rendezvous with her lover?" A few young men who looked like nobles said arrogantly.

"Hmph, guards, seize these people who are disrupting the auction! Throw them out!" Master Gu Ni decided to punish them severely as a warning to others.

The man who had spoken snorted coldly, then slammed his paper fan shut and slammed it down on his hand.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Get out of my way!" After saying that, the leader's aura was no longer concealed and was revealed!

The guards who were about to swarm him were instantly blasted away by the man's imposing aura, and the entire scene fell silent once again.

Peak of the Battle Spirit Realm!!

"Wow, it's actually a Dou Ling level expert!!"

"Yes, it seems that Mittel Auction House has really messed up this time."

……

Hearing the praise from those around him, the leader's smug grin widened, and then he spoke with a hint of arrogance:

"I am at the peak of the Battle Spirit realm! Who dares to take me down?! Who can take me down?! Hehehehehe."

That eerie and somewhat perverse laughter truly displeased Xiao Xun'er. She forcibly suppressed the urge to jump down, secretly vowing that after the auction ended, she would make Ling Ying kill all these people.

The rest of the Xiao family felt the same way; upon hearing the "hehehe" laughter, they all felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhong Li frowned slightly, his heart filled with helplessness. Given the current situation, it seemed the Mittel Auction House would have to suffer this loss in silence.

After all, the strength of a peak Dou Ling might not be much in the Mittel Auction House in the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, but this is a branch venue in Wutan City. The only thing that is the same standard as the main venue in the capital is the first room of the Heavenly Class.
