In Prince Snow Star’s box, he almost couldn’t wait to press the add-on button.
"One thousand gold soul coins!"
The staff whispered in agreement: "Your Majesty is wise, once you get this thing, you will definitely make a big fuss."
However, before Prince Snow Star's proud smile fully bloomed, other voices sounded in the field.
One thousand and ten gold soul coins!
A slightly shrill voice came from an inconspicuous corner.
"Hey, they seem to be envoys from some small kingdom. It is said that their king was bullied by people from the Xingluo royal family when he was young. Is he trying to regain some ground?"
Before the discussion could end, another steady voice sounded.
「Fifteen hundred gold soul coins!」
Everyone followed the sound, and the speaker was a richly dressed businessman. He touched the goatee on his chin and had a shrewd smile on his face.
Prince Bai, that's a huge favor! If you want to open up business in the Xingluo Empire, wouldn't it be better?"
"It makes sense, it makes sense!"
The atmosphere in Dai Mubai's box had already dropped to freezing point.
Zhu Zhuqing sat there quietly, exuding a cold air that kept strangers away.
Dai Mubai's forehead had veins popping out, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Every hair on this fragrant handkerchief was like a needle, piercing his heart and even piercing Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
Prices at auctions are still rising.
"One thousand, six hundred gold soul coins!"
"One thousand, six hundred and fifty gold soul coins!"
"Five thousand gold soul coins!"
Prince Snow Star struck again, with a hint of impatience in his voice.
Dai Mubai looked at the constantly beating numbers. Every quote was like an invisible slap in the face.
He is not worried about money, but this thing, in his eyes at this moment...
Zhu Zhuqing finally spoke, but his voice was like a knife tempered with ice.
「Dai Mubai.」
Dai Mubai's body was shaken and he turned his head awkwardly.
“Buy it.”
Zhu Zhuqing looked at him.
"Then, he destroyed it in front of me."
"Zhu Qing..."
Dai Mubai's voice was hoarse.
"I don't want to hear the explanation."
Zhu Zhuqing interrupted him.
"I just ask you, do you do it or not?"
"If you don't do it, you are unwilling to completely break up with those women in the past."
Her voice was still calm.
"Then I can't accept that I and they are being compared to each other and become the same laughing stock because of this piece of fragrant handkerchief."
Dai Mubai felt bitter in his heart.
How could he not be willing?
He wished he could rush down right now, tear the fragrant handkerchief into pieces, and then burn it to ashes.
But...
"Zhuqing, this thing... it's not worth the price at all!"
He tried to explain, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
"It's obvious that someone is deliberately raising the price, targeting me and the Star Luo royal family!"
"We don't need to spend this wasted money!"
"The corners of Zhu Zhuqing's lips raised a slight arc, and that arc was full of disappointment and ridicule.
“So, in your opinion, my feelings, the face of the Xingluo royal family, and my face are not as important as those golden soul coins?”
“No! That’s not what I meant!”
Dai Mubai hurriedly defended.
Zhu Zhuqing no longer looked at him, but suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the fare increaser in the private room.
Dai Mubai didn't even react. Zhu Zhuqing's slender fingers quickly pressed down on the price increaser.
On the auction stage, Doudou was about to bid again.
A number appeared on the screen in the center of the auction room.
"One million gold soul coins!"
The entire auction house instantly fell into a dead silence.
One million?
Just for a piece of...the prince's private handkerchief?
Go crazy!
Doudou was also stunned. She opened her mouth and forgot her responsibilities for a moment.
In the host room, Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in surprise.
"It's more than my account book. How is this scumbag's stuff so popular?!"
In Prince Snow Star's box, he stood up abruptly, his face ashen.
"That's unreasonable!"
He roared, a hint of evil flashing in his eyes.
"One million? Who is going against me?!"
He scanned the field suspiciously, trying to find the unscrupulous bidder.
Could it be that someone set up a trap to deliberately induce him to pay a high price?
Or are you simply entertaining him and deliberately making an enemy of him?
The expression of the staff also changed:
"Your Majesty, this... this price is too outrageous. Could it be someone from the Star Luo Empire who wants to buy it back by himself?"
"Impossible!"
Prince Snow Star flatly denied it.
"That boy Dai Mubai has been completely disgraced now, how can he still think about spending such unjust money?"
"Would the Star Luo Empire be willing to spend this money on their prince? Don't forget the elimination system of their royal family!"
Then, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
“No matter who wants to snatch something from me, he must see if he is qualified!”
“What’s more, I think this thing has strategic value!”
"Two million gold soul coins!"
Two million!
The sound of gasping was heard again in the venue.
In Dai Mubai's box.
When Zhu Zhuqing heard the price, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She raised the price increaser again, as if she wanted to increase it.
"You're crazy!"
Dai Mubai finally recovered from the shock. He grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's wrist, his voice a little distorted due to excitement.
"Two million gold soul coins! Do you know what this is?!"
"This money can almost buy a good soul bone!"
"Is it worth it for this kind of junk?!"
He almost shouted.
Zhu Zhuqing's wrist was painfully pinched by him. She struggled hard but couldn't break free.
"Let go!"
Her voice was still cold, but with a hint of trembling.
Dai Mubai was also angry at this moment. He felt that Zhu Zhuqing was simply unreasonable.
He stared at her.
"Sure yourself up! Don't act out of anger!"
He snatched the price increaser from Zhu Zhuqing's hand and pressed it back to its original position.
On the auction stage, Doudou has recovered.
She suppressed the shock in her heart and shouted loudly: "Prince Snow Star bids, two million gold soul coins!"
"Two million gold soul coins for the first time!"
Her voice echoed in the silent auction house.
"Two million gold soul coins for the second time!"
No one in the field responded.
Dai Mubai clutched the price increaser tightly, his chest rising and falling violently.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids, covering all her emotions.
"Two million gold soul coins for the third time!"
The auction hammer fell heavily.
"Deal!"
Doudou's voice was filled with a hint of relief.
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for successfully photographing this...Rose Secret Handkerchief!"
Until he heard this sentence, Dai Mubai breathed a long sigh of relief, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
He put back the price increaser and turned to Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to say something.
"Zhuqing, I..."
However, when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's face clearly, all his words were stuck in his throat.
Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
The once cold and proud eyes were now frighteningly empty.
She just sat quietly like that, without any response.
Dai Mubai's heart suddenly sank.
At the same time, in another box.
In Ning Liu's mind, the system prompts sounded on time.
【Ding! The grand finale of the auction, "Rose Secret Parfum" was successfully sold! ]
【Auction price: two million gold soul coins! 】
【Trigger special events: engagement and breakup! 】
[Event description: Due to this auction incident, the disclosure of the "Rose Secret Scented Handkerchief", and Dai Mubai's final failure to buy back and destroy the object, Zhu Zhuqing was completely disappointed with it and left Dai Mubai. At the same time, under the operation of Prince Xuexing, a major rift appeared in the marriage contract between the Dai family and the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire! ]
【Estimated impact: 1. The relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai completely breaks down; 2. The royal family of the Star Luo Empire is disgraced, and Dai Mubai's status is once again shaken, and domestic opposition forces may take the opportunity to attack; 3. The deterioration of the relationship between the Zhu family and the Dai family may lead to turmoil in the internal political structure of the Star Luo Empire. 】
Ning Liu looked at the information given by the system and wanted to laugh a little.
After reading the Douluo Dalu novel, one of the people he looked down on was Dai Mubai.
Engagement and breakup...
This is an unexpected surprise.
He originally wanted to make Dai Mubai sick, but he didn't expect that the effect would be so significant.
However, if Zhu Zhuqing left Dai Mubai...
