Chapter 49.2: Crown Princess Arc: Arch Enemies
The beautiful maidservant placed the tray on the long table before Hua Mei’er and then retreated to the back.
“This will be the first treasure that will be put up for today’s auction. The Amethyst Thread Treasure Robe.”
Hua Mei’er pulled the red cloth covering the tray with a sharp tug and a piece of clothing that was emitting a violet glow was presented before everyone.
Hua Mei’er pulled the treasure robe open to let everyone have a good look at what it really looked like.
The robe was beautiful, a long violet one piece dress, with exquisite golden butterflies were embroidered on its cuffs, and several layers of lace trimmed the lapel in front before the chest.
A layer of thin gauze that was light as smoke ran along the hem of the dress, accompanied by a golden belt at the waist, looking graceful and highly luxurious.
“This no ordinary piece of clothing, but a treasure among defensive armour. It’s a third class precious artifact, and is going for the low low price of thirty blue crystal stones. The auction starts now.”
“I’ll offer thirty five blue crystal stones.”
“Fifty blue crystal stones.”
“Sixty blue crystal stones.”
It was intense the moment the auction began, the price of the item quickly increasing one call after another.
All the women wanted to win the item for themselves and the men were eager to win it for their wives or sisters.
In the number two VIP room on the third floor, a green clothed young lady hugged the arm of the young man beside her and said in a coy voice: “Elder brother, Lian Er wants to have that piece of clothing.”
The young man tapped his finger on the young lady’s perky nose.
“You know, I really don’t know what to do with you. If the price of the dress isn’t too high, then make a winning bid for it.”
“Thank you Elder Brother.”
Having gained permission from the young man, the green clothed young lady went straight over to the window. The price of the amethyst silk dress had ballooned up to two purple crystal stones at that moment.
“Ten purple crystal stones.” The green clothed young lady raised the price by five folds straightaway.
The green clothed young lady was Chu Lian Er and the young man was Chu Lian Er’s elder brother, Chu Xiao Ran, the Central State City’s City Lord.
When the people downstairs heard that the bid was placed by a VIP room on the third floor, no one dared to make another bid for the item.
Who would not be aware that the VIP rooms in the Innumerable Treasures Pavilion were all occupied by people of authourity and power? With the petty bit of money they had, how could they possibly challenge those people from the Four Great Families and the City Lord himself?
“The number two VIP room has bidded ten purple crystal stones. Are there any more bids higher than that?”
Hua Mei’er raised her head to look up at the VIP rooms above. But she was not looking at the window of the number two VIP room but at the number three window beside it.
Not hearing anyone else place a bid, Chu Lian Er was gleefully delighted. But her glee lasted only for a few seconds when she suddenly heard a charming voice sound out from the window right next door.
“Twenty purple crystal stones.”
Chu Lian Er’s teeth tickled with hatred. Hua Xian Er again. That damned Hua Xian Er is always going against her every single time. How infuriatingly detestable.
“VIP room number three bids twenty purple crystal stones. Are there any more bids?”
Hua Mer’er’s eyes had turned to watch the window of VIP room number two.”
Who in the Central State City did not know? That Chu Lian Er and the Hua Family’s Young Heir, Hua Xian Er were arch enemies, the two of them vying and fighting over everything there was, and were seemingly discomfited if they did not exchange a heated word or two every time they met.
“Twenty purple crystal stones going once.”
“Thirty purple crystal stones.”
Chu Lian Er’s voice sounded like it was tinged with a bit of hateful anger.
“Forty purple crystal stones.”
The voice was as charmingly coy as ever.
“Fifty.”
Chu Lian Er was feeling a bit of a pinch.
Although the Amethyst Thread Treasure Robe was really great, it was not worth fifty purple crystal stones. If not for that damned Hua Xian Er, she would have bought the dress for ten purple crystal stones.
Finally, there were no more bids from next door.
“Fifty purple crystal stones going once.”
Hua Mei’er saw that Hua Xian Er was not going to bid for the item any further, and she knew that the Amethyst Thread Treasure Robe will end up in the hands of Chu Lian Er.
“Fifty purple crystal stones going twice.”
“Calling fifty purple crystal stones for the Amethyst Thread Treasure Robe three times.”
Hua Mei’er struck the little hammer lightly on the long table.
“Congratulations to the guest in VIP room number two. The Amethyst Thread Treasure Robe now belongs to you.”
