The cheapest crystals were colorless crystals, while the slightly more expensive ones were green crystals. After that were blue crystals, yellow crystals, orange crystals, red crystals, purple crystals, black crystals, and golden crystals.
One red crystal was equivalent to 500 colorless crystals.
Xue Ling placed a bid for five red crystals at once, which was equivalent to 2,500 colorless crystals. All the beasts present were stunned.
Many beasts looked at Xue Ling, wanting to see who this tycoon was.
Xue Ling’s appearance was outstanding, but he was also very unfamiliar. It was obvious that he was an outsider.
Many beasts were discussing his origins in private.
Huanhuan and Bai Di didn’t say anything. They quietly played the role of onlookers.
The shrewd male beast in charge of the auction immediately shouted, “The highest price now is five red crystals. Is there anyone who’ll offer a higher price?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a male beast in the stands shouted a higher price.
“I’ll pay eight red crystals!”
Yo! This person was even richer than Xue Ling!
Huanhuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young male beast wearing a red fur coat. His ten fingers were covered in rings embedded with red crystals. A rich aura assaulted her.
He was quite good-looking, but the arrogant expression on his face was too annoying.
Well, he was even more annoying than Xue Ling!
Xue Ling glanced at the male beast and did not take it seriously. He shouted, “I’ll pay 10 red crystals!”
The other party immediately followed up. “I’ll pay 13 red crystals!”
Xue Ling said, “I’ll give you 15!”
“I’ll give you 20!”
Xue Ling’s expression finally changed. He frowned. “I’ll pay 30!”
The other party slapped the stone table. “I offer 50!”
There was an uproar.
It was just a golden flower. Although it was rare, it was only a slightly prettier flower. How could it be sold for 50 red crystals?!
All the beasts were stunned by the rich male beasts’ bids.
Even the shrewd male beast in charge of the auction couldn’t help but look stunned, but then he was overjoyed.
With such a high bid, the commission he could get must be very generous!
Xue Ling wanted to bid again, but Huanhuan stopped him in time.
She shook her head at him. “The price is ridiculous. Even if you buy it, you’ll be at a disadvantage.”
Bai Di agreed. “When we get to Sun City, we can go to the trade center there. It’s bigger than this and has more items. We might be able to find this golden flower there too.”
Xue Ling naturally knew that this price was not worth it.
But he just couldn’t stand the other party’s arrogance. He smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I won’t be a fool, but I won’t let that guy get away with it!”
Huanhuan blinked. “What do you want to do, then?”
“Just watch,” Xue Ling continued. “I offer 51 red crystals!”
The other party quickly continued to bid. “I offer 60 red crystals!”
Xue Ling: “I’ll pay 61!”
“70!”
Xue Ling: “71!”
…
No matter how much the other party offered, Xue Ling would always only add one red crystal to it.
The other party was clearly angered by his teasing. He raised the bid to 100 red crystals.
All the beasts were already stunned.
100 red crystals was a huge sum of money for ordinary beasts.
Now, a male beast was using it to buy a flower.
Just thinking about it was ridiculous!
Facing the rich male beast’s provocative gaze, Xue Ling smiled.
The shrewd male beast in charge of bidding waited for a long time, but Xue Ling did not bid again. He could not help but ask, “Aren’t you going to bid?”
Xue Ling smiled. “I give up. Let that idiot have this flower.”
When the smug male beast heard Xue Ling’s mockery, he was so angry that his features contorted.
He rose angrily. “You’re the idiot! Your entire family is full of idiots!”
Xue Ling turned his face and glanced at him with a faint smile. “Who are you scolding?”
“The idiot is scolding you!”
Everyone laughed.
The rich male beast reacted and realized that he had been tricked. He cursed himself and panted angrily.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were rules in the trade center that forbade fighting, he would have rushed over and fought with Xue Ling.
He pointed at Xue Ling and shouted fiercely, “Just you wait. This isn’t over!”
Xue Ling ate his sunflower seeds leisurely, not taking the other party’s threat to heart.
Seeing how angry the rich male beast was, Huanhuan felt a little sorry for him.
How pitiful to be played in public!
The next lot was slaves.
Huanhuan was not interested and stood up. “Let’s go back.”
Bai Di put away the hide blanket and carried her down the stands.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the trade center, they encountered the rich male beast wearing a red fur coat. Behind him were more than a dozen strong soul beasts. They were all murderous, and it was obvious that they had ill intentions.
Huanhuan said to Xue Ling, “Wasn’t I right? You’re too good at attracting hatred. You can attract a large wave of enemies in minutes. In the future, you should stay at home if you have nothing to do. Don’t come out and cause trouble.”
Her voice was soft, so the other party knew she was a female.
Although she was wrapped in an animal hide cloak and her entire face could not be seen, her eyes were very delicate. She was definitely a beautiful female!
At first, the rich male beast didn’t care about her and Bai Di. He just wanted to teach Xue Ling a lesson and make him understand how dire the consequences of angering him were!
However, when he noticed Huanhuan’s existence, the rich male beast suddenly changed his mind.
He said to Xue Ling and Bai Di, “Leave this female behind and I’ll consider letting you go!”
Huanhuan froze.
She pointed to her nose. “You like me?”
The little female was so cute when she was shocked. Her eyes were round like a frightened rabbit’s.
The rich male beast felt an itch in his heart. “My name is Yin Jie, the son of the city lord. If you come with me, I guarantee that you’ll enjoy endless wealth for the rest of your life!”
This was the first time Huanhuan had encountered such a situation. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
At the same time, she understood why Yin Jie could pay such a high price to buy the Golden Silk Flower. He was the young master of Red Crystal City, and Red Crystal City did not lack red crystals. Of course, he could squander them at will.
Huanhuan tried to look serious. “I’m sorry, I don’t like you. I can’t go with you.”
Yin Jie’s expression turned ugly at being rejected.
“Do you want to do this the hard way?!”
He winked at the thugs behind him.
“Teach these two male beasts a lesson and snatch that ungrateful female over!”
