Chapter 1071B – The Ambition Towards A Royal Woman
Chapter 1071B – The Ambition Towards A Royal Woman
Blue Wave’s eyes crossed the auction venue, looking somewhere diagonally across from him. There was a trace of scorching heat in his eyes. Everyone loved beauty. And as his big brother rose to prominence these past years and his family grew increasingly formidable, there was no comfort missing from his life.
If it was just a beautiful woman, then while his heart was moved, he wouldn’t care much about it. The key point was that this woman called Feature had an unordinary status…although he had only seen her several times from afar, what his demon seed bloodline had awakened was the ability to see through illusions.
He could directly see through her camouflage. This woman’s appearance had no traces of a demon seed bloodline. She had to be from some honored noble bloodline!
If it was just this then it didn’t matter. But Feature also had a peak Demon General guard serving her. This was a manifestation of her strength.
It had to be known that wars were continuously waged throughout the abyss at all times and it wasn’t rare for Kings to fall. Naturally, many fallen bloodlines were left behind, with nothing left but their noble status.
These royal women would often be reduced to the playthings of greater people, suffering from miserable fates.
But Feature clearly had a formidable background. If he could marry her, not only would he be able to obtain a great boost through marriage and consolidate his family’s strength, he could even strengthen his own bloodline so that royal blood would flow through his descendants’ veins.
Although his big brother had told him everything was fine through their correspondences, he knew that he was facing a certain degree of pressure.
The Lord of Adversity Peak City had an incomparably honored status and he was considered a genuinely great person…but the higher one stood, the greater the dangers they had to withstand.
Behind the endless glory and scenery, there was a bottomless cliff. If one was careless they would fall down and break into pieces. If he could marry a royal woman, this would be the greatest help to his brother.
Since long ago, it had been his big brother blocking the wind and rain for him. Now it was time for him to do something for his big brother.
As for status…while their Blue Family wasn’t a royal bloodline, they were still a top higher demon clan. And with his big brother, their future was limitless.
As long as he did things properly, matching with a royal woman wasn’t impossible.
Moreover, Blue Wave was confident in his methods of dealing with women!
The auction began.
Feature was stimulated the moment the first item came on stage. Her face flushed red and her eyes brightened.
“Honored guests, the first batch of auctions will be carried out by me. Without further delay, let’s take a look at the items.”
An auctioneer with an elegant demeanor and a brilliant smile waved a hand to grab everyone’s attention, shifting it to a crystal-like object placed on a thin red piece of velvet.
“Everyone, please take a look. This is the crystallized heart form of a Demon Beast King after it died. After being confirmed by Netherworld Station, it has been found to contain a trace of blood essence that has yet to dissipate.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the crystal. The crystal trembled and then a blood red line shined. The phantom of a great beast appeared, howling into the air.
The auctioneer closed his hand and the crystal returned to its original state, causing the phantom to vanish too. But that brief moment was enough for everyone to recognize the giant beast’s identity.
“Silverback purple-ear bear!”
“That’s right, it’s that demon beast!”
“The king of bear beasts, it must have awakened its bloodline talent. If one is lucky enough, they can obtain its formidable ability for this wisp of blood essence!”
In the auction hall, the eyes of many demons lit up. Most of them had tall and sturdy bodies with muscles as thick as drums.
The abyssal demon race had demon seed bloodlines flowing through their bodies, and absorbing the effects of similar types would have even better effects. It was no wonder they were so excited.
A bear-type demon seed bloodline could be considered powerful in the abyss. Thus, there were many people in the auction house with such a bloodline today.
Moreover, one didn’t need a bear-type demon seed bloodline to absorb the blood essence from this crystallized Demon Beast King heart. Relatively speaking, a majority of other demon seed bloodlines could absorb it, it was just that the effects would be a bit worse.
So, this first auction caused many demons to blaze with excitement. They thought that Netherworld Station truly was worthy of its fame.
“The Demon Beast King, a silverback purple-ear bear, its crystallized heart has a wisp of blood essence remaining. The starting auction price is 500,000 demon crystals. If any guests are interested, please make an offer.” The auctioneer’s smile didn’t change, but the number that came from his mouth was threatening.
Demon crystals were a type of precious crystal formed when a massive amount of abyssal energy gathered in a special environment. They were regarded as a currency that was circulated in the abyss by the abyssal demon race.
Of course, the reason demon crystals could be used as currency was because they had a powerful auxiliary boosting effect in helping one cultivate. Although there were a number of restrictions for using demon crystals to cultivate, this alone was enough to give it its current status.
500,000 demon crystals was an amount that an ordinary demon could never hope to achieve in their life. It was enough to bankrupt a Demon General.
And more importantly, 500,000 demon crystals was just the starting price. Only the heavens knew how high the final bid would be.
But the demons who entered the auction hall today were clearly prepared for this. Although 500,000 demon crystals was a terrifying amount, it wasn’t enough to scare them off.
You got what you paid for. Whether it was in the abyss or the living world, this was a hard truth…of course, there had to be a good price.
“500,000!”
From the first bid, the battle for the Demon Beast King heart fell into a fierce struggle.
The burly and sturdy big fellows all flushed red, thick blue veins throbbing in their necks.
Soon, the bidding price broke through one million demon crystals. At this level, it wasn’t a battle that ordinary Demon Generals could participate in. A large number of competitors were eliminated. VIP guests in the infield began to participate in the auction.
Of course, there weren’t many infield guests that bid. They already had information on the auction and each one had prepared demon crystals for certain targets.
Unless there was an accident, they wouldn’t easily invest their resources into other items, lest the items they came for were taken by others.
“This is the auction…it turns out…this is the auction…” Feature muttered to herself, her eyes especially bright. She looked to the left and then to the right, seeming impulsive and hesitant at the same time.
Old Fox was puzzled. He thought for a moment and smiled, “Miss, if you like this Demon Beast King heart, you can bid for it. Consider it as practicing your skills.” He paused and glanced around, “Netherworld Station’s auctions usually have the good items in the back. You won’t lose out if you start familiarizing yourself with the bidding process now.”
“Ah…so it’s like that? Hehe, then I won’t be polite!” Feature coughed to clear her throat and then lifted a hand, “Two million!”
Shua –
The sounds of bidding in the auction hall abruptly fell silent. The eyebrows of several people who were about to bid suddenly furrowed together.
1.5 million demon crystals was the amount they were mentally anticipating. It was the ideal price for this silverback purple-eared bear’s crystalized heart.
2 million demon crystals…it wasn’t worth it. And looking at the momentum of the other party’s bid, it was clear that they wanted it no matter what.
If they continued entangling themselves, they feared that the price would continue to rise. Even if they won the bid, they would spend a monumental price, even forming enmity with someone.
Everyone here had demon crystals, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible for these people to come to the VIP section. But, no one’s demon crystals came blowing up from the abyss out of thin air.
Moreover, they each had their own goals today. If they made things difficult for others, then at the auction they were aiming for this other party would only need to raise their hands and move their lips to cause them to pay a price several times higher.
In short, no one with a brain was willing to do this sort of suicidal bidding where one took 800 points of damage to dish out 1000.
After a brief hesitation, several VIP guests chose to stay silent and give up on this Demon Beast King heart.
“2.1 million!” From the outfield, a deep and sonorous voice rang out. The bidder was a middle-aged demon with obvious traces of a bear-type demon seed bloodline. His face was flushed red, his fists were gripped tight, and his eyes were full of tension.
With his Demon General level cultivation, this bid was the limit that he could withstand.
“3 million!” Feature excitedly lifted a hand.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He glanced to the side at Old Fox who also had a strange complexion and silently paid tribute to his demon crystals.
After running into a bidder who increased the price like this, the auction house was certainly smiling. She was an example that everyone could follow.
“3 million, this miss had bid 3 million demon crystals. Is there any guest willing to place a higher bid?” The auctioneer’s voice unconsciously rose much higher. With the price for the first auction much higher than what was estimated, it would help all of the following auctions.
Hu –
The bear-type bloodline demon in the outfield sat down in his seat, dejected. He looked towards the infield, cruelty and hate in his eyes.
But soon he put away all these crazy thoughts.
Not to mention the fact that this was Netherworld Station, even after leaving this place, if such a person was able to toss away 3 million demon crystals without batting an eye, they were not someone he could mess with.
“Congratulations to this miss. The final bid is 3 million demon crystals! After paying the demon crystals, you can take away this Demon Beast King heart at any moment. Allow me to congratulate you once again!”
