In the not-so-long wait, all the guests settled in and the auction officially began.

As the hostess, dressed in a red floral cheongsam and heels, stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted in applause like thunder.

Some guests in the first-floor lobby even stood up, shouting wildly and waving their arms, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

Sun Zhe, in a certain box on the second floor, looked closely and couldn’t help but widen his eyes, feeling incredulous.

Because the hostess on stage, who exuded sensuality, elegance, nobility, and skill, was none other than the boss of Hongbao Auction House—Jiang Yushu!

"Does it look good, you little rascal?"

Zhu Yan sidled up next to Sun Zhe, with a hint of jealousy in her tone.

Sun Zhe touched his nose, smiling as he said, "I didn’t expect Sister Yushu to personally come on stage as the chief auction host. It seems she also values this auction highly."

"..."

There was no flashy opening.

Jiang Yushu walked onto the stage with a microphone, said a few words, and then staff pushed a small cart onto the red-carpeted stage.

The first auction item was a rusty Copper Coin Sword, which Jiang Yushu introduced as left by a highly respected old Taoist a hundred years ago, with a starting price of five hundred thousand.

Sun Zhe calmed down and asked in his heart, "Sister Long, is there any story about this Copper Coin Sword?"

Little Dragon Girl was somewhat impatient, "Don’t come asking me about useless things like these. If you encounter something good, I’ll tell you."

Sun Zhe hurriedly shut his mouth.

After a round of bidding, the Copper Coin Sword was finally claimed by a mysterious tycoon for three million.

In the following auction items were either some antiques with traces of True Qi remaining or some Martial Arts scroll scraps.

Little Dragon Girl didn’t speak, so naturally, Sun Zhe wasn’t interested either.

With nothing to do in the box, Sun Zhe ended up playing with Zhu Yan’s legs to pass the time.

Unexpectedly, as they played, Zhu Yan was lit on fire, and directly sat astride his legs, reaching down to explore for a while, coating that heated, ferocious thing with honey, then wrapped both arms around Sun Zhe’s neck, slowly sinking down.

"Mm...sss...you’re so tight."

Zhu Yan ignored him and started swaying on her own.

"Next up is a ladies’ watch."

At this moment, Jiang Yushu’s voice suddenly echoed throughout the venue.

On stage. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Jiang Yushu gracefully smiled, "After some discussion, we’ll auction this watch using a blind bid, as a little game during halftime."

"Starting price is one million, with minimum increments of fifty thousand."

Sun Zhe had no interest in luxury items like watches, holding Zhu Yan’s waist with both hands, biting his teeth to thrust her flying.

Right now, he was also fired up by Zhu Yan, not caring about the occasion, nor the fact that there was also a Little Dragon Girl inside the Storage Treasure.

Surprisingly, as he thrust Zhu Yan up and down, her hair wildly danced, Little Dragon Girl’s voice sounded in his mind, "The thing covered by the red cloth on stage seems odd, might be good stuff, you should buy it and see."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s heart sank slightly, thinking that if even Sister Long said so, then that watch must be something special, so he asked Zhu Yan, "Yon’Er, how about buying a watch for you to play with?"

Zhu Yan frowned lightly, stopped swaying her waist, "Better not, I can’t afford to wear a million-dollar watch, let’s not waste money."

Sun Zhe said, "Buying you a gift to make you happy, how can that be considered a waste?"

Without waiting for Zhu Yan’s response, he shifted aside to press the bid button, thrust Zhu Yan vigorously, and spoke into the small microphone in front, "One million five hundred thousand!"

On stage, Jiang Yushu first heard Sun Zhe’s voice through the earpiece, and even heard Zhu Yan’s moans, her pretty face blushed slightly, thinking some rascal indeed was being outrageous, starting things off right in the box.

Is one that desperate?

Fortunately, only she could hear the sound from the VIP box through the earpiece.

Jiang Yushu glanced deeply at the box where Sun Zhe was, saying, "Guest from Box No. 3 bid one million five hundred thousand."

"One million five hundred thousand once, one million five hundred five twice... Guest from Box No. 7 bid two million!"

Sun Zhe frowned slightly, "Three million!"

Jiang Yushu calmly said, "Guest from Box No. 3 bid three million! Three million once, three million... Guest from Box No. 9 bid four million!"

"Damn it!"

Sun Zhe’s heart skipped a beat, looking up at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan lightly bit her red lips, shaking her head at him, indicating to stop bidding.

Sun Zhe didn’t heed her, saying, "Five million!"

"Guest from Box No. 3 bid five million!"

Unexpectedly, the next moment Jiang Yushu continued, "Guest from Box No. 9 bid six million!"

"What the hell, are they competing with me?"

Sun Zhe gritted his teeth, thinking since he started this act, he had to continue.

Zhu Yan suddenly tightened, enveloping Sun Zhe firmly, charmingly said, "Forget it, Ah Zhe... A watch costing millions gives me pressure to wear."

Sun Zhe, however, was resolute, "No, I have to get it for you today."

Zhu Yan wore a helpless expression, "Really can’t do anything with you."

"..."

In the end, Sun Zhe claimed the watch at the high price of ten million.

With Jiang Yushu’s hammering down, the venue erupted in laughter.

Guests in the hall looked up towards the direction of Box No. 3, casting mocking gazes.

"Spending ten million for a blind bid on a watch, the owner of Box No. 3 truly seems foolishly rich."

"Indeed!"

"..."

However, when Jiang Yushu lifted the red cloth on the cart and the watch appeared on the big screen, all the guests were collectively dumbfounded.

Many guests who recognized the value cast envious and jealous glances towards Box No. 3 where Sun Zhe was.

Jiang Yushu glanced around the venue, smiling, "This is a ’Patek Philippe Nautilus’ watch, with a purple face encrusted with fifty-six colored diamonds, and bears the handwritten signature of the former queen of country Y, having been worn by the queen for a time, globally limited to just this one, its level of craftsmanship is currently unreplicable."

"Therefore, the true value of this watch far exceeds ten million!"

"Here, let’s congratulate the guest of Box No. 3 for winning this treasure!"

In the box.

Sun Zhe’s lips curled in a sly grin, he looked at Zhu Yan with a proud smile.

Though he did not understand watches, just hearing Jiang Yushu extolling it, he could guess the watch was no simple thing.

Of course, more importantly, Sister Long said it was good stuff!

...

Time slowly passed.

In what felt like an extended wait to Sun Zhe, the "Immortal Dew" that Little Dragon Girl wanted finally made its appearance.

Seen through the big screen, it seemed like a piece of amber, but more shimmering and transparent than any amber.

Sun Zhe asked, "Sister Long, what’s the story behind this Immortal Dew?"

"..."
