Chapter 988: Mei Gongzi Enraged
Mei Gongzi suddenly looked up at Luo Qingzhu, and what she saw in her eyes was nothing but warmth. "Silly child, go ahead and do it. If it hadn't been for your little boyfriend, your father wouldn't have returned to my side. When he died back then, the Queen Consort died with him. Now that he's alive and he enjoys being part of humanity, then I will be his human wife. He's even the leader of humanity now, so what else can I do?"
"Thank you, Second Mother...." Mei Gongzi's eyes turned red as she opened her arms and gave Luo Qingzhu a big hug.
At that moment, the voice of the auction attendant echoed outside.
"One hundred thousand amethystine coins, VIP Room Eight."
Mei Gongzi stiffened instantly. The next second, she gritted her teeth and growled angrily, "It's that shit-stirrer again! Does he ever stop?!"
Indeed, the first bid had kicked the price up a massive step, from fifty thousand to a hundred. And to nobody's surprise, the one who had done it was none other than the newest spendthrift of the Ancestral Court, Jin Miaolin.
He actually felt somewhat fortunate at this point for creating this terrible reputation. He had bid for nearly every high-value item before, establishing an image of deep pockets, which meant his sudden bids on any item wouldn't appear out of place. And his bidding method had been consistent—raising the price immediately to thin out competition, then either quickly securing the item or withdrawing.
It could be said that the total proceeds from this Ancestral Court mega-auction exceeding expectations by far was, largely, due to him. It was he who had kept driving up the prices, making all the auction items shoot up in value.
So, when the Blue Gold Tree clan's clan leader—whom Mei Gongzi had now dubbed a "shit-stirrer"—struck again, starting with a bid of one hundred thousand amethystine coins, none of the bidders found it odd. It was just his style.
"One hundred one thousand amethystine coins, VIP Room Two."
