Chapter 112: All the beasts come out to gamble their lives
Wu Bi came up behind Wu Yi and winked, "Sister, the Dark Emperor is here. No one will dare to snatch it from you now."

"I told you, I won't spend his money." Wu Yi tried to suppress the corners of her mouth that were curled up. She thought for a moment, and a hint of arrogance appeared on her jade-white face. She shouted to the people below: "Five thousand gold!"

The beautiful lady on the stage who was posing coquettishly froze when she heard this: "Miss Wu, didn't you just say 11,000 gold?"

Wu Yu crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Why do you care how much I bid? You unscrupulous merchants deliberately raise the price. In fact, it is only worth five thousand gold at most."

The beauty finally realized that her beauty could not impress the same sex, so she changed her attitude and begged: "Miss Wu, five thousand gold is definitely not enough, please increase the price."

"I only have five thousand gold!" she insisted.

Seeing Wu Yi's firm attitude, the beauty looked at the other people in the building, her eyes misty with tears, so distressing, as if all the grievances were melted into these tears: "Is there anyone else bidding?"

Although everyone sympathizes with her and wants to save her from danger, however——

They glanced at the leisurely figure. Even though he did not make any move and just watched silently like a shadow, he brought them heavy psychological pressure.

Who dares? The Dark Emperor is suppressing them there. Everyone present knows that he will support Wu Xi. They can't make a fuss, argue or fight in this situation.

Seeing no one responded, which was completely different from what the beautiful Hibiscus had expected, she looked around and then placed her last hope on the bow of the Phoenix, which was as beautiful and elegant as a night-blooming cereus.

Dark Emperor.

"Please..."

If the stalemate continued, the situation would be very ugly. Qi Shangyue had no choice but to take control of the situation. However, his face was no longer smiling. He waved his hand and said decisively, "Kill!"

The hidden arrows planted in the building were shot out immediately. The fear on the beauty's face froze on the spot, and she fell to the ground after being shot.

“This…eh.”

Everyone present was filled with regret. Such a rare and naturally beautiful woman had passed away in such a way. Not only did the Gold and Silver Building suffer a huge loss, but they were also heartbroken.

But rules are rules.

Qi Shangyue clasped his fists and bowed to the Dark Emperor, who refused to show his face and did not participate in the bidding. Since he did not choose to enter the Gold and Silver Building as an inviter, it meant that he did not come for the Gold and Silver Building, but for someone.

In this case, all the necessary courtesy has been shown, and all that remains is to do what is necessary.

He quoted: "The reserve price is eight thousand gold."

Wu Yi was stunned for a moment. Someone died because of her. Although she felt a little guilty, she was more angry because she was threatened. "I only have 5,000 gold. I will only offer this price. If you don't sell it, I don't believe you will keep killing me!"

You only have five thousand gold, can't you just not bid?
Can't you just sit back and let others bid for you? Do you have to force others to death?
The others were simply annoyed by Wu Yi's unreasonable and arrogant attitude, and Qi Shangyue was also feeling angry.

He had never dreamed that he would encounter such a bully, but the Dark Emperor protected her, and their Gold and Silver Building could not afford to offend her...

He had to think of a way to deal with the current situation. Selling at a lower price would be equivalent to destroying the rules set by Jin Lou Yin himself, and he couldn't do such a shameful thing. But if he didn't lower the price and replaced the beauty, then Wu Yi would continue to bid five thousand gold, and no one would bid. Wouldn't that mean he would have to sacrifice another beauty?
These beauties were bought with real money from their gold and silver shop, and then trained for a long time, specifically to attract a high price for this auction.

The time and money invested here cannot be wasted.

what can we do about it?

How to break the game?

Qi Shangyue was able to become the manager of the Gold and Silver House, so he was naturally no ordinary person. He understood that the most critical person now was not Wu Xi, but the Dark Emperor.

The only way was to make him stop interfering, no, to make him interested and take action...

As long as one is a man, it is impossible for him to be pure and free from desires, and the Dark Emperor has a particularly good relationship with women, which leads to his extremely high standards for beauties.

And among all those beauties of his, which one can attract this one...

Suddenly, a very impressive figure flashed through Qi Shangyue's mind.

This time, the pirate ship sent a group of "newcomers". They have not been trained and will not appear at this auction.

But he had read through them beforehand, and there was one girl among them that left a particularly deep impression on him. He even felt that if this girl was well taught and dressed up, she would surely become the mainstay of the Gold and Silver House.

That woman had a sense of holiness that no one else had.

It is not the kind of clean, transparent and white like water, but a deeper, almost solemn atmosphere that makes people dare not approach it easily, but also makes people want to find out.

Qi Shangyue is a man, and he knows the bad nature of men very well.

They are always on the road of conquest, especially those who are powerful. They like novelty, uniqueness, and things that are difficult to conquer, and she just has this feeling.

If it were her... maybe she could arouse the interest of the Dark Emperor.

"Go..." Qi Shangyue waved to the person and whispered something in his ear.

Afterwards, Qi Shangyue said to the guests: "Next, let me introduce another beauty to you. Her name is Wen Xue."

"Wen Xue?"

All the beauties before were named after flowers. Some were called peony, some were called rose, and some were called hibiscus. And after one died, the next one would be named with the same name.

The gold and silver shop did not bother to name these beauties, because once they were sold, the buyers were happy to give them new names themselves according to their own preferences.

However, this one has a unique stage name.

Warm snow.

Snow is cold, but he wants to make it warm.

A woman in a plain white dress walked onto the stage. The design of the dress was simple yet elegant. The neckline, cuffs and hem had delicate embroidery and trimmings, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication. Qi Shangyue's eyes immediately lit up.

As expected, he was right. Only a pure white dress could highlight the mysterious color on her.

Not only Qi Shangyue, the woman's appearance made the guests feel refreshed.

Compared with other beauties with delicate colors, she was as plain as a bunch of lilies. She didn't even put much effort into her hair, which was long and soft and draped over her shoulders, tied with a silk ribbon.

It’s just that… Lily doesn’t have that kind of awe-inspiring, almost worshipful urge in her.

The woman in white was wearing a half-golden mask on her face. She had a bright look in her eyes and was looking straight ahead. Her demeanor was dignified and calm, but she did not have the slightest intention of flattering or currying favor.

Even Wu Xi couldn't help but stare at it in fascination.

But she quickly came to her senses, glanced at the stupidly obsessed men, and snorted, "Pretending, there is no decent woman in this kind of situation, pretending to be so pure and innocent, just to get a good price."

The woman stood on the stage, facing the attention of the crowd, without any discomfort or panic. After Qi Shangyue whispered some instructions to her, he stepped down from the stage.

Everyone was actually looking forward to how she would open the introduction. In fact, introducing the items for sale requires great eloquence. A person with a poor tongue would find it difficult to sell something that others are unwilling to buy, while a person with a good tongue can make people who don't want to buy impulse buy.

Unexpectedly, she did not introduce herself, but just like the beautiful lady before, she said, "Ten thousand gold, is there any bid?"

Oh, she still bid 10,000 gold even though the reserve price had been revealed. This is either greed or stupidity. Wu Yi also continued to bid: "5,000 gold."

After reporting, she glanced coldly at the "Wen Xue" below.

This woman thought she was so special, pretending to be fearless. She wanted to see if she would be the only one making a quotation in a while, and whether she would kneel down and beg like Furong did before.

Sure enough, even though this beauty was more special and attractive than the previous ones, it was not enough for these guests to risk offending the Dark Emperor and bid for her.

Wu Yi smiled triumphantly.

The "Wen Xue" below also raised her lips slightly. She said, "No one is bidding? Perhaps you haven't seen their value clearly yet. Why don't I show them to you on the spot?"

As she spoke, she walked towards the first animal cage. She got the chain key from somewhere, but the iron chain fell to the ground with a "clatter", and the heavy iron door opened with a "click".

At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar and panic.

"No, what is she doing?!"

"What is she going to do? Is she going to release the giant python in the cage?!"

"She is looking for death!"

Not to mention that all the guests jumped up from their seats, even Qi Shangyue was frightened by "Wen Xue's" bold and unexpected behavior. He hurriedly shouted: "Close the door quickly, these beasts have not been tamed yet!"

If ferocious beasts like these were domesticated in advance, they would lose their claws and teeth like poultry, which would deprive buyers of the pleasure of conquering and taming the animals.

Does she want to die?

If the giant python got out of the cage, the first thing it would do would be to strangle her or swallow her.

Facing their exclamations and panic, Wen Xue's deep eyes were dim and bottomless. She said, "If I don't take a closer look at them, how can I persuade you to bid?"

The python slid out of the cage quickly. Its body was like a thick tree trunk, and its scales flashed a cold light as it swam.

Qi Shangyue was so frightened that he stepped back again and again, not daring to move forward rashly.

The woman gathered her sleeves and stood behind it, straight as a bamboo, still smiling.

"You still haven't made an offer? Perhaps you still think it's too far away and need to take a closer look."

The giant python shot out, and its huge body patrolled between the pillars and beams of the lobby. Its pair of cold eyes swept over those people, making people shudder.

"what--"

"Oh my god, it's going to eat people!"

"Run."

The guests in the lobby felt their scalps tingling and they retreated one after another, all trying to escape from the farthest range of the python's hunting. But where could they escape to? In the middle of the vast lake, unless they jumped into the lake.

Fortunately, the giant python was wrapped around the red lacquered carved pillars in the lobby without moving. Its huge body stood upright like a mountain rising from the ground, and its tongue was like flames.

"Does anyone have any bid?" "Wen Xue" asked again.

A merchant fell to the ground with the giant python spitting out its tongue above him. He was so scared that he almost vomited and sweated profusely: "I, I am willing to pay 10,000 gold. Please, please let it go!"

The merchant thought that this was a conspiracy between the Gold and Silver House and the woman named "Wen Xue", and he was willing to give up his wealth in order to save his life.

Since someone had made a bid, "Warmth" waved his hand gently, and the giant python, as if it understood human nature, "whoosh" back onto the stage.

"It seems that the beast in the first cage has taken a closer look, so let's open the second cage."

"Wen Xue" opened another cage, and a black panther jumped out.

It paced gracefully, then suddenly flew out, running between the halls and pavilions. Its wind-like speed was amazing, and its streamlined body was full of strength and agility. Every jump was like lightning.

All I can say is that those who love it love it to death, and those who are scared are scared to death.

"Did you see it clearly? Then continue bidding."

"One, eleven thousand gold."

The man who was stared at by the black panther's sharp golden eyes felt his blood rushing backwards, as if he was ready to launch a fatal attack on his prey in the next second. He hurriedly shouted out the price with trembling hands.

Wu Yi couldn't believe what she saw. She quickly said to Qi Shangyue, "You are threatening me. This is intimidation!"

But Wen Xue, upon hearing this, smiled and said, "Could it be that this girl is bidding legitimately?"

Wu Yi choked.

"It would be too much trouble to display them cage by cage like this."

As she said this, the woman used some unknown method to open all the cages of the wild animals, and immediately all kinds of ferocious beasts rushed out.

They almost filled the entire stage, and the terrifying power emanating from the predators was enough to make all living creatures tremble in fear in front of them.

But "Wen Xue" standing among them was not afraid at all, and of course she didn't need to be afraid.

Because the beasts were so well-behaved and docile in front of her, as if she was holding their leash in her hand. When she let go, they attacked, and when she pulled in, they lay dormant and motionless.

Wu Yi held onto the window frame tightly with both hands, looking at the woman on the stage with jealousy and passion. Yes, this was the feeling she wanted in the beginning, but in the end, someone else stole the limelight.

Fear, surprise, shock, enthusiasm, excitement...all kinds of emotions filled the guests' hearts in an instant. They looked at the scene before them and almost forgot everything.

"Fifteen thousand gold!"

"Sixteen thousand gold!"

"Twenty thousand gold!"

Qi Shangyue was overjoyed. He looked at the woman on the stage, amazed at her ability to tam beasts, and also moved by the charm she displayed at this moment.

He believed that everyone present would feel the same as he did.

She did not flatter or seduce anyone, nor did she need anyone's pity or sympathy. She won the battle in a way that was both convincing and heart-pounding.

They wanted these beasts, but they wanted her even more!
Qi Shangyue regretted it.

Such a woman should not appear on stage in this way, let alone at this time. She should have a bigger stage and a bigger show. He even felt that she could attract richer and more powerful people.

Instead of... being "sold cheaply" along with this group of beasts at this moment.

Wu was so angry that she died.

She had no idea how things turned out like this. She looked in the direction of the Dark Emperor, only to find that he was also staring at the woman on the stage.
