"Of course, a Soul Seed with peak attributes and a Domain, this kind of natural Soul Seed can't be compared to those artificially synthesized ones. If it were a Fire-type or Lightning-type Soul Seed, it would probably fetch an astronomical price!" Zhao Manyan patiently explained.
"One billion three hundred and fifty million!"
"One billion three hundred and sixty million!"
"…"
"One billion three hundred and eighty million!"
The auction continued, and moments later, the price of this Wind-type Soul Seed reached one billion three hundred and eighty million. However, the number of bidders had significantly decreased, and the bidding prices were no longer as unrestrained as before, only increasing by the minimum bidding standard.
"One billion five hundred million!" After the price reached one billion four hundred million, Lin Chen directly raised his placard!
"Whoa…" The sudden jump in price caused an uproar at the scene. A price of one billion five hundred million had already reached the price of a mainstream Soul Seed. For a Wind-type Soul Seed, it was already considered an astronomical price.
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan immediately looked at Lin Chen, their faces full of disbelief.
"Holy cow, I didn't expect a rich man to be right next to me!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
Mo Fan pouted. He had originally thought that by buying two spirit seeds, he had a bit of money, but now, compared to Lin Chen, he was clearly from a poor family. He hadn't expected Lin Chen to be the true rich man!
Lin Chen smiled slightly, not saying anything. Moments later, the latest bid sounded again!
"One billion five hundred and ten million!"
Lin Chen frowned slightly. Although the Soul Seed was top-grade, a price of one billion five hundred million was already the absolute maximum. Yet, he hadn't expected that even at such a price, someone was still competing with him.
"One billion six hundred million!" Lin Chen continued to bid, raising the price to a round number again. A price of one billion six hundred million was already astronomical. Every ten million added represented a loss of ten million. Lin Chen hadn't offended anyone, so he wasn't afraid of someone trying to drive up the price against him.
"Whoa…" The crowd below was in an uproar again.
Seeing Lin Chen's determined stance, the last competitor also gave up bidding. In the end, Lin Chen secured this top-grade Wind-type Soul Seed for one billion six hundred million. Although the price was higher than expected, Lin Chen could still accept it. For him, money was easy to come by, but rare treasures were hard to find.
At this point, his purpose for this trip had finally been achieved.
After the auction ended, Lin Chen completed the transaction, and the three of them left the International Trade Center, agreeing to have a casual meal.
Ten minutes later, the three arrived at a barbecue restaurant not far from the International Trade Center.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, the three became much more lively.
Especially Zhao Manyan, who had an outgoing personality and was good at socializing, boasting about everything under the sun.
After learning that Lin Chen was sharing an apartment with Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, he even called Lin Chen "Big Brother."
Whether it was feigned sincerity or just drinking buddies, Lin Chen and Zhao Manyan chatted very happily.
It must be said that Lin Chen and Zhao Manyan were somewhat alike, both sharing similar hobbies, with a rather roguish demeanor.
Wine and meat pass through the stomach, but beautiful women remain in the heart.
While the two exchanged experiences, Mo Fan could only silently eat barbecue. At this moment, Mo Fan was thinking about his "sister," Ye Xin Xia!
After eating and drinking to their fill, Zhao Manyan invited Lin Chen to a nightclub, but Lin Chen decisively refused. Although Lin Chen was lustful, he wasn't so desperate as to pick just anyone. With beauties like clouds around him, how could wild flowers compare to the fragrance of home flowers!
Bidding farewell to Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, Lin Chen quickly returned to the villa. He familiarized himself with the key, opened the door, and a beautiful scene suddenly entered Lin Chen's eyes.
The slightly tipsy Lin Chen instantly sobered up.
"Why are you back?!"
Mu Nujiao, wrapped in a white bath towel, was looking at Lin Chen, at a loss.
Her proud figure, fair and tender skin, burgundy hair scattered over her shoulders, a slightly flushed delicate face, coupled with that bewildered expression, made her irresistible.
Suddenly, the room fell silent.
Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, Lin Chen slowly walked towards Mu Nujiao.
Seeing Lin Chen's extremely aggressive gaze, Mu Nujiao's heart immediately pounded faster, and the blush on her crimson face deepened.
In an instant, Lin Chen was in front of Mu Nujiao.
Lin Chen lowered his head slightly and leaned in to kiss the beauty.
This sudden kiss made Mu Nujiao freeze in place.
But soon, her slender, fair hands instinctively hooked around Lin Chen's neck.
Mu Nujiao's slightly hazy starry eyes slowly closed.
Gradually, she became immersed in it, using her clumsy lips to constantly meet Lin Chen's.
The quiet room instantly became incredibly ambiguous, with clearly audible breathing sounds constantly hitting each other's faces.
Perhaps it was because he had been drinking, Lin Chen's breathing was unusually hot.
Mu Nujiao, already immersed in it, her legs trembled slightly, her soft body leaning tightly against Lin Chen.
Sensing Mu Nujiao's abnormality, their tightly kissed lips slightly parted. Lin Chen bent down and scooped Mu Nujiao into his arms.
The beauty in his arms was delicate and lovely, her exquisite face flushed crimson. Mu Nujiao's charming little eyes gazed hazily at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen held her, looking at her dewy starry eyes, and slowly walked towards the room.
Mu Nujiao immediately understood Lin Chen's intentions.
"Are you going to take responsibility?" Mu Nujiao's gentle voice sounded.
However, Mu Nujiao did not wait for Lin Chen's answer; what greeted her was Lin Chen's moist, thin lips.
The crescent moon hung high, and tonight's moonlight was especially hazy.
The beautiful flower bloomed for the first time tonight, intoxicating all who beheld it. Unfortunately, though beautiful, its blooming period was too short.
At the moment the flower bloomed its most beautiful, it already began to wither impatiently.
Looking at the unconscious Mu Nujiao, Lin Chen was clearly still not satisfied. Fortunately, Mu Nujiao's pure Yin energy helped Lin Chen break through to 88th-level spirit power and advanced a certain distance within 88th-level!
Lin Chen licked his lips, gently covered her with the quilt, and then disappeared from the room.
…
As the moon set and the sun rose, warm sunlight filtered through the window cracks, scattering onto Mu Nujiao's face. Her exquisite face appeared exceptionally charming.
Mu Nujiao weakly opened her eyes and found the space beside her empty. A look of disappointment immediately appeared on her face.
"What does he mean?"
"Was he just playing around?"
"But what about me?!" Mu Nujiao muttered to herself, various thoughts constantly appearing in her mind. Unconsciously, her eyes became slightly red.
Just then, Lin Chen walked into the room carrying breakfast.
Seeing Lin Chen, Mu Nujiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Noticing Mu Nujiao's unusual behavior, Lin Chen sat on the edge of the bed, gently brushed the hair from her forehead, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Nujiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Will you think I'm an easy woman?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen paused, then smiled slightly and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Chen raised his hand, pointed at the bedsheet, and continued, "How could an easy woman have this?"
