Chapter 283: Chapter 303, Open Auction
The pure beauty attracted numerous gazes; clad in a continuous white dress, she was gentle and dignified, with a smile that made one feel as if bathed in the spring breeze. And it was precisely this that made men even more eager to find out what she would look like blushing and softly moaning beneath them.
Some people’s adam’s apples moved, and fire seemed to blaze in their eyes, harboring an intense desire for the pure beauty.
Although the area below the stage was dark, and one could only vaguely see the faces of the crowd, Su Ge’er had already roughly made out everyone’s expressions. Thus, with a coquettish smile, she said,
"This lady has been carefully cultivated by yours truly. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Whether it’s the guzheng or the small harp, she can play them and produce wonderful notes. She is clever and possesses skillful hands. If you gentlemen are interested, you can employ her for a considerable sum and train her well. She will surely provide you with pleasures beyond those of ordinary people."
Su Ge’er spoke in a subtle manner, with classical phrases mixed with vernacular speech, her lovely voice weaving words that ensnared the soul.
However, no matter how complex and cryptic the speech, the crowd understood her meaning and comprehended what this so-called ’program’ entailed.
"This... this is an open auction, isn’t it? How audacious, utterly shameless, and downright despicable," Song Wuliang pronounced with righteous indignation. Yet, his lecherous expression betrayed him, with a fiery light resembling flames shining from his eyes.
"Song the fatty, want to buy one?" Fang Yi teased, "Get one to add fragrance to your sleeves – how wonderful. Wouldn’t you be missing out if you didn’t buy one?"
"I’d love to, truly," Song Wuliang replied, "but if I actually brought one home, the old man at home would beat me to death."
Fang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? My condolences to you. Then you might as well just stand aside and watch."
A thought struck Song Wuliang, and he asked, "Holy crap, are you planning to make a move?"
Fang Yi replied, "We’ll see."
...
In the dark setting beneath the stage, the chatter grew from soft whispers to louder discussions. Many people were eager and ready to try, casting their eyes on the stage at the pure beauty looking pitiful and utterly adorable, making it seem almost sinful not to buy her.
Then someone said, "Alliance Hierarch Su, we understand it’s a considerable sum, but you should at least set a starting price."
Thus, many people looked expectantly at the stage, very eager to know the starting bid.
Su Ge’er smiled charmingly and raised a single finger, laughing, "Let’s start with this number."
"One thousand?"
"That’s acceptable," Su Ge’er said with a soft laugh, "Gentlemen, you may start the bidding at that price."
First, there was a moment of silence. Then someone made an offer.
"I bid thirty thousand!"
"How stingy, one hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Everyone invited by Ying Zheng to this event was wealthy, either rich or noble, with the least affluent having tens of millions at their disposal, so a few hundred thousand was scarcely significant to them.
However, spending too much on a woman wasn’t worthwhile, unless one was truly bedazzled by lust, willing to throw out a few million.
And despite Su Ge’er’s eloquent speech, painting the pure beauty in such a favorable light, this was only the beginning. The best was yet to come, reserved for later, so some were watching and waiting.
Even so, the first pure beauty was auctioned off for over a million.
Then the second beauty came onto the stage, different from the innocence of the first; this one was purely hot and dazzling, taking the sexy route. From the moment she appeared, she caused a stir among the audience, even more provocative than Su Ge’er. Had it not been for her looks falling slightly short of Su Ge’er’s, it might have been hard to distinguish which was the more beguiling.
However, if one were to scrutinize her closely, this hot babe lacked the mature and glamorous aura that Su Ge’er possessed, resulting in her somewhat paling in comparison.
Even so, she still managed to ignite a bidding war among the audience below.
"Damn it, they’re all dirty old men, even more desperate than yours truly. Can’t they be as dignified as me?" Song Wuliang lamented.
"If you feel aggrieved, you could also place a bid."
"Damn it, the key issue is that I need to have money, dude. I only get tens of thousands a month for pocket money, not nearly enough to buy a beauty!" Song Wuliang complained.
Fang Yi nodded, "Indeed, when you go back, just turn off the lights, all three holes on a woman are the same anyway."
Song Wuliang raised his thumb, "I thought I was filthy, but turns out you’re even dirtier than me."
Fang Yi replied, "Likewise."
Just then, a plump man came over, patted Song Wuliang’s thigh, and said, "Brother Song, make some room."
Song Wuliang smiled and said, "Oh, it’s Brother Ying, I didn’t recognize you. My apologies." Saying this, he immediately shifted his butt to the side. Given Song Wuliang’s shamelessness, no one wanted to sit next to him, so there were many vacant seats around.
Ying Zheng handed out a Heavenly King cigarette to each of them. Song Wuliang, not even having lit his cigarette, hurriedly leaned in and said, "Brother Ying, you’re the man, turning a recreation club into something like the Yihong Courtyard and playing this ’highest bidder wins’ game. I’m impressed, bro."
Ying Zheng: "..."
"It’s not that he’s awesome, it’s the Alliance Hierarch up there." Fang Yi said.
Ying Zheng immediately showed a look of meeting a like-minded person and sighed, "Brother Fang truly understands me."
Beside him, Song Wuliang wore a puzzled face, "What do you mean? What are you two talking about? I don’t understand."
Ying Zheng said, "Let me tell you, Brother Song. The special program before could be said to be my idea, but the show that’s happening right now, is not something I’d dare to attempt. No matter how powerful my backing is, I wouldn’t dare to openly auction off women. In the modern society, that’s a one-way ticket to jail."
Song Wuliang curiously said, "But the one on stage right now..."
Fang Yi said, "This is Su Ge’er’s idea."
Song Wuliang was still confused, "Why is that?"
Fang Yi replied, "I think this is a conspiracy. I’ll explain it to you when we have time."
Looking at Su Ge’er on stage, playing the role of the auctioneer, Fang Yi suddenly felt that the Alliance Hierarch of the Vermilion Bird Alliance, enchanting beyond measure, must have established deep roots in Moon City not just with her beauty, but also with her extraordinary intellect.
Ying Zheng, though familiar with high-ranking officials, wouldn’t dare to do such a thing. But Su Ge’er dared, which proved that she must hold some leverage over those officials, or perhaps, she had deployed a beauty trap.
To dare to openly auction off women in today’s law-abiding society – well, antiques were one thing, but women? That was truly heretical. Su Ge’er wouldn’t take such a risk without being absolutely certain of her position.
Suddenly, an idea struck Fang Yi. He thought of Hu Guanqing, the personal secretary to a provincial governor, and even he didn’t oppose such a thing. Could it be that he too had been compromised?
For this man, towards whom Fang Yi harbored some liking, he truly did not wish to harbor such suspicions.
Meanwhile, the auction onstage had reached a fever pitch, and who knows which beauty was being showcased; the bids had soared to over two million.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Two million one hundred thousand, no one is allowed to bid against me, or they’ll regret it!" As his voice faded, the entire room went silent.
Kong Qingxu sat comfortably in his chair, his face full of the arrogance and pride typical of a young master.
