74: Chapter 74 will be given to the neighbor for now.

At the same time, inside Box Number Six.

Hearing that the people in Box Number Seven had continued bidding.

A young lady, who looked every bit the wealthy heiress, snapped her folding fan shut with a sharp flick and asked with a piercing gaze, "Who is in Box Number Seven? Can we find out?"

She sat on a leather sofa, her posture elegant, legs crossed. Beneath her moon-white mink coat, skin as fair and smooth as mutton-fat jade was revealed.

Her jet-black long hair was meticulously coiled at the back of her head, exposing her graceful neckline and a pair of delicate pearl earrings.

An innate sense of aloofness emanated from her entire being, making her difficult to approach.

The reserved dignity and sense of control belonging to a top-tier conglomerate heiress silently permeated the air with the soft rustle of her opening and closing fan.

To describe her in one word—she was the very image of the wealthy young mistress commonly seen in TV dramas.

In fact, she truly was a young lady born into a wealthy and powerful family.

An attendant nearby stepped closer and explained in a low voice, "My apologies, the Black Ghost Market maintains full confidentiality for the information of its top ten distinguished guests. It would be difficult to find out in a short time, but with a bit more time, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Is that so? Then let's assume he's someone in the know. Continue bidding. We must obtain this item no matter what!"

"Yes!"

"Seven million!"

Luo Shiyin quickly picked up the phone, instructing her maid to transfer funds.

The Bloodline she had awakened was merely an F-rank Bloodline. In a great family like the Luo Family, someone deemed worthless couldn't possibly receive much pocket money.

But in this situation, every bit counted.

"Seven point five million!"

"Ten million!"

As the bids continued to climb, the entire venue once again erupted in an uproar.

Who could have imagined that something worth only a few hundred thousand on the market could fetch such an astonishing price?

Could it be hiding some unknown secret?

"Brother Chen Yi, maybe we should forget it---"

Su Taotao said despondently, "I---my life isn't worth that much money---"

Chen Yi gently pinched her tender cheek, comforting her, "You are a priceless treasure. No matter how much it costs, I will save you!"

[Ding! Su Taotao's Favorability +2 points!]

[Current Favorability: 84 points!]

"Brother Chen Yi, but, if this much money could be spent on Sister Mengxue and Sister Shiyin---"

Before Su Taotao could finish her sentence, Chen Yi interrupted her with a kiss.

Not to mention that Su Taotao was a Spirit Beast Girl possessing an SSS-rank Bloodline.

With her ability, not only could she obtain vast amounts of spiritual energy by devouring magical beasts, but she could also share this energy with others.

This ability alone could save billions in funds in the future.

Moreover, she was such a beautiful Spirit Beast Girl?

How could Chen Yi possibly stand by and watch her die?

However, at this moment, Chen Yi truly had no more chips left to continue bidding.

Just then, Xue Haiyao finally finished cleaning Wang Yu's room.

As soon as she returned, she saw Chen Yi and the others spending millions to bid on some worthless item.

Was it necessary?

Her figure flickered, instantly appearing in the shadows near Box Number Six.

To her surprise, the person inside this box was actually an acquaintance?

Then she returned to their box and said, "Chen Yi, let Box Number Six have this item! As long as we know where it ends up, we'll still have a chance to get it after the banquet!"

"Won't that be a bit inappropriate? Those who can access the luxury boxes must have considerable status, right?"

"Don't worry, I just checked. The person in Box Number Six is Yan Jiuyue, the young lady of the Yan Family from Flower City! For the past few hundred years, the Yan Family has been one of our Luo Family's subordinate families. They only became independent in the last twenty-some years."

Xue Haiyao puffed out her chest proudly, "As long as my husband intervenes, it can definitely be resolved easily!"

"Is that so---"

Chen Yi felt slightly relieved.

With such an assurance, they could afford to let the neighbor have it for now.

"Ten million, once!"

"Ten million, twice!"

"Ten million, three times!"

"Congratulations to the guest in Box Number Six for successfully winning the remains of spiritual light with a bid of ten million!"

The auctioneer's speech noticeably sped up, as if afraid the bidder might change their mind.

After all, they could earn a commission from this. This money was there for the taking!

Watching the Black Ghost Market staff deliver the remains of spiritual light into her hands, a slight smile curved Yan Jiuyue's lips.

It seemed she had worried too much, thinking the person in Box Number Seven was someone in the know!

They were probably just some second-generation young master trying to curry favor with some light-attribute Spirit Beast, hence their willingness to spend extravagantly?

If they truly knew the real purpose of this item, they would absolutely not have stopped bidding!

Those invited by the Black Ghost Market to the third-floor boxes were, at the very least, top-tier wealthy families from each city.

For them, not to mention ten million, even hundreds of millions in liquid funds should be something they could produce.

She hadn't expected to secure this item with just ten million, having prepared three hundred million for it.

Good luck!

"Congratulations, Young Mistress!"

"Congratulations, Young Mistress!"

"Congratulations, Young Mistress!"

The attendants around chimed in one after another, their faces adorned with obsequious smiles, mouths full of flattering words.

Yan Jiuyue's ears were almost calloused from hearing it. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, enough! Since we saved quite a bit on the remains of spiritual light, if there are any fire-attribute related materials next, bid on all of them for me!"

"YES!!!"

---

"Sold! Congratulations to guest number 111 for successfully winning the Bright Heart Grass with a bid of seven hundred and fifty thousand!"

"That concludes all the auction items provided by our Black Ghost Market for this evening's banquet!"

"Now, let's move on to the main event!"

"There are a total of eighteen items for this finale, each one a top-quality Spirit Beast carefully selected by us!"

"Moreover, the Black Ghost Market guarantees that these Spirit Beasts' 'first times' are still intact. They are definitely not cast-offs that others didn't want!"

"Whether for entertainment or to be nurtured as battle Spirit Beasts, they are all excellent! I believe all our distinguished guests came primarily for these finale items, right?"

"Then, without further ado, let's get straight to it!"

As the auctioneer's words fell, the atmosphere below the stage grew even more fervent!

The previous hundred auction items were merely a display of wealth for these affluent individuals.

What people truly anticipated was the Spirit Beast auction!

At the same time, all the lights on the stage turned on.

Several Spirit Beast Girls carried a cage covered with high-quality silk, slowly walking to the front of the stage.

"Swish—"

The silk was abruptly pulled away.

The sight that met the eyes was a young woman confined in a cage, wearing only a thin top, hugging her knees, hair disheveled, eyes vacant.

The auctioneer raised the microphone and introduced, "Today's first auction item is Fu Xiaodie from Forest City!"

"Age 19, A-rank Bloodline Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly, a flying-type unit. She has been thoroughly trained to be very obedient and can be used immediately after purchase! Please refer to the VCR for her other specifications!"

"Bidding for Fu Xiaodie will begin in one minute! Starting bid: three million!"
