Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Li Yunmu heard the price Ling Youren shouted out, his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. They didn’t have many chips, so if Ling Youren kept shooting her mouth off like that, their chips would run out soon.
“20 000 chips! Isn’t that quite high?”
When the people in the auction heard that price, they sighed and shook their heads in regret. Twenty thousand chips was clearly much more than they could take out.
Like that, Ling Youren, who had only forty-fifty thousand chips, squandered her hard earned money for the devil spirit stone.
“No one wants to raise it higher? Then this devil spirit stone goes to this younger sister.”
“Ayy! Great! Li Ying, I helped you obtain the devil spirit stone! I am very happy!” Ling Youren said with excitement.
Li Yunmu awkwardly smiled at her. In truth, he didn’t need any devil spirit stone. He was going to leave the Devil World soon, and then he would no longer have any relation to it.
But he was also very clear that Ling Youren was completely in love with him and only wanted to help him in winning the auction.
Although he knew that the person she loved was Li Ying, it didn’t stop him from making use of it. The best case scenario would be if she mistook him for the wrong person for all eternity!
At that moment, Yuan Biyao felt a strong sense of being watched once more. What was happening? Who exactly was continuously watching them?
She shuddered and said, “I am still feeling that we are being watched by someone. Li Yunmu, what should we do?”
“It doesn’t matter. With me here, you don’t need to worry.”
Li Yunmu’s words put her mind to ease, and she relaxed a little.
At that moment, the auction master spoke up with a slight smile once more. “The next item will be the last item of today’s auction. You mustn’t miss this treasure, or even if you wait for all eternity, you might not be able to obtain it again!”
After he said that, a crystal cabinet appeared on the platform. There was a treasure sword within it, and it was flickering constantly. The sight of left all the people below the stage dumbstruck.
With one glance, everyone could see that the sword was extraordinary. Its blade as well as the hilt were emitting a golden light, and although the sword was sealed within the crystal cabinet, its radiance could not be covered.
Many bidders were extremely excited and stood up to take a look at the treasured sword. There was no hiding their greedy gazes.
Yuan Biyao’s eyes went wide. “Excalibur! Impossible, how could Excalibur appear in the treasure auction of Flowing Moon City? This is impossible!”
When Li Yunmu saw Yuan Biyao being so nervous, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What happened? Why do you seem so excited? Is there a problem with the treasure?”
“How can this treasure be here? It is the supreme divine sword of the Primordial God World which vanished some years ago. Fuxi and Nuwa had investigated the matter, but there was no conclusion and we thought that it was sold in the ocean market. However, even after investigating the ocean market for many years, we still couldn’t find any traces of Excalibur.
“I hadn’t expected that this sword would surprisingly be sold here, in the Devil World! Repulsive, the people of Devil World are all thieves!”
Ling Youren’s complexion turned slightly ugly at her words and she said, “Older sister, you mustn’t judge everyone in the Devil World with the same standard. I and Li Ying are also from the Devil World. Are you also cursing us?”
Yuan Biyao sighed before saying, “I am talking about the true devils, and you two aren’t them. Alright, we must bid for this divine sword because if falls into the hands of the devils, the Primordial God World will be destroyed.”
Even if Yuan Biyao had left the Primordial God World for Li Yunmu, she was still a good person and cared about the Primordial God World. She could not just watch and do nothing when harm may come to the Primordial God World.
Li Yunmu nodded. He could see from Yuan Biyao’s expression that the matter was quite important.
At that moment, the auction master began to talk once more. “This is Excalibur. I believe everyone is familiar with it, right? It is the treasure of the Primordial God World! Our master went through untold hardships to obtain this treasure, so the base price is ten thousand chips! Hurry to bid if you like it!”
“I bet one hundred thousand chips!”
Just when the auction master finished talking, the man which looked like a beggar sitting in the last row curled his lips into a strange smile and suddenly stood up. He immediately raised the price to one hundred thousand chips.
Many people gazed at the stage and lamented their inadequacy. They only had twenty-thirty thousand chips while the beggar bid one hundred thousand chips all of a sudden. It was likely that he had only come for the divine sword, but everyone was still suspicious whether he truly had one hundred thousand chips and wasn’t deliberately misleading them.
“Hundred thousand chips, anyone wants to bid higher?”
Yuan Biyao nervously looked at Li Yunmu. “What should we do? We don’t have that many chips, but if we don’t bid, someone else will obtain the sword.”
Li Yunmu calmly stood up and said, “I bet one hundred and fifty thousand chips!”
Yuan Biyao opened her eyes wide. Where would they get so many chips? If they truly won and had to present the chips, where would they bring them out from?
Li Yunmu knew Yuan Biyao was somewhat suspicious and promptly explained himself. “Since this divine sword is so important, we must first win the auction and then think about it. If we don’t have enough chips, we would just have to take out another treasure to make up for it.”
This sort of thinking was truly crazy!
But Yuan Biyao still became very excited by Li Yunmu’s actions. Everything they were doing was for the Primordial God World. If they could bring Excalibur back, then maybe even the misunderstanding between Fuxi, Nuwa, and Li Yunmu could be resolved.
“I am sorry! I didn’t intend to stay in the Primordial God World, but I...”
“You don’t need to explain yourself,” Li Yunmu said calmly. “You have your own reasons, but I will help you.”
Yuan Biyao sensed a feeling of warmth in her chest. She knew that Li Yunmu was always doing such things to make her feel relieved.
“Anyone wants to bid higher than one hundred and fifty thousand chips?”
That beggar sitting in the last row coldly looked at Li Yunmu and said, “I bid two hundred thousand chips!”
“Two hundred thousand chips! This divine sword has already reached two hundred thousand chips! Is there anyone who wants to go higher?”
Li Yunmu saw that the beggar was unwilling to give up and his voice filled the entire sky. “Five hundred thousand chips!”
“What? The price reached five hundred thousand chips! Anyone wants to go higher?”
Yuan Biyao supported her head with her hand, not knowing what exactly was Li Yunmu thinking. He said five hundred thousand chips! How would they collect such an exorbitant amount?
Ling Youren suspiciously looked at Li Yunmu. “Why are you bidding five hundred thousand chips? We-we don’t have that many chips!”
Li Yunmu smiled slightly. “Don’t panic. I will first make all competitors withdraw, then snatch it myself.”
