Chapter 47 Twin Mandarin Duck Vines

Everything was quiet, except for the sound of a pin drop. The auction hall, which was noisy a moment ago, suddenly became silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the auction table as the finale treasure appeared.

On the auction table, a plant stood in an exquisite jade pot.

Strangely enough, this plant has no leaves or flowers, but has the same stem, but it produces two branches of different colors, one black and one white. At the ends of the branches hang two fruits in the shape of mandarin ducks, one black and one white.

Unlike before, this time the auctioneer said nothing, but simply tilted the jade pot beside him, and the spiritual liquid inside poured down and sprinkled on the fruit.

The next moment, a magical scene happened. The mandarin duck-shaped fruit began to tremble, and the skin cracked after a few breaths, slowly rising up like a leaf or a wing.

The fruits are like two vivid mandarin ducks, entwined around the branches and stems, spinning and chasing each other.

“The fruit is not fruit, the leaf is not leaf, the mandarin ducks are playing in the water and swimming on the branches,” an old man with silver hair was muttering in a corner of the auction room.

In the private room on the second floor, the girl Yan'er closed her mouth in surprise, and when she turned around, she noticed tears in the corners of the lady's eyes.

She took Madam's hand very obediently and asked softly, "Mother, is this the medicine you want to buy for Dad?"

Madam looked at her and nodded, "Yes! This is the twin mandarin duck vine that can save your father."

Bang bang bang!

The auctioneer struck the hammer in his hand, awakening everyone who was immersed in the magical scene of the twin mandarin duck vines.

"This is the legendary Twin Mandarin Duck Vine that can bring the dying back to life. As to whether it's true or not, I believe you all already have the answer in your hearts through the scene just now, which saves me a lot of words. The bidding will begin now, and the starting price is one million crystals," the auctioneer pointed at the Twin Mandarin Duck Vine and looked at the audience with a smile.

"1.2 million……"

"One million and three hundred thousand..."

The prices have been rising steadily, with no sign of stopping.

"Damn, there is such a good thing," the hairy-chested man clenched his fists and made a crackling sound. His eyes swept across the private room on the second floor, and the scene of him sleeping drunk in the arms of a beautiful woman last night emerged in his mind.

He immediately understood something and cursed, "Damn witch, you actually sent a little slut to set a trap for me. Since you want to get the Twin Mandarin Duck Vine, I won't do as you wish."

Gritting his teeth, he bid, "One million and five hundred thousand."

In the private room, the girl Yan Er glared at him fiercely and snorted, "Humph! This big guy is the worst. He always steals Daddy's business and now he even wants to steal the medicine for Daddy's treatment. How abominable!"

The lady's eyes turned cold, and she swept her icy gaze over the hairy man and said in a cold voice: "One million and six hundred thousand!"

Bang! He clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the armrest of the chair. The hairy man stood up suddenly, but swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Then, ignoring everyone's surprised looks, he sat back in his chair.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a sly smile, a hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes, and he secretly calculated in his heart, "As long as the Twin Mandarin Duck Vine cannot be delivered to Yin Wenshan, when he dies, I wonder how many days you can sustain the Yin family's business."

He waved his hand and whispered a few words to his men standing in the corner. After they left, he shifted his gaze to the auction table again.

Not far away, the gray-shirted man who was with the chaotic woman looked at the twin mandarin duck vines greedily and whispered to himself, "Fight for it! Grab it! Once you leave the Jubao Pavilion, they will all belong to me."

"One million and seven hundred thousand..."

"One million and eight hundred thousand..."

The price kept rising, but the lady remained calm and continued to raise the price, "Two million."

Looking back at the whole audience, the hairy man came up with an idea. A smile appeared on his face. He stood up and bowed to the room where his wife was, saying, "Madam Li, did you plant this twin mandarin duck vine to treat President Yin's illness?"

Seeing that his wife remained silent, he continued, "Don't worry, madam. President Yin and I have been good friends for many years. I am willing to offer a million crystal stones to help you buy this twin mandarin duck vine. After President Yin recovers, I will personally visit him at Jingxin Lake outside the city."

This plan was extremely vicious as it immediately revealed the lady's identity and address. If the lady really took a picture of the Twin Mandarin Duck Vine, he would not need to do anything because someone would come and snatch it away.

The lady looked coldly at the hairy man, and a hint of blue appeared in his pupils. She snorted coldly, "Hmph! Don't bother with that."

"Two and a half million," the cloaked man sitting next to Le Jinxi suddenly raised the price, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.

The lady's jade hands tightly grasped the gauze scarf, and the blue in her pupils became brighter than before, but it soon disappeared.

She became unusually calm and whispered, "Three million!"

This is almost one-fifth of the Yin family Chamber of Commerce’s assets, but in order to cure her husband’s illness, it doesn’t matter even if she gives up everything.

At this moment, the cloaked man was gazing at the entire audience with his scarlet eyes narrowed, and from time to time he could hear a soft moan coming from his mouth beneath the mask.

In the end, the lady bought the Twin Mandarin Duck Vines at a sky-high price of three million crystal stones, and the auction at Jubao Pavilion came to a successful conclusion.

The wind moved the clouds, and the dark clouds covered the moon. The moon was full in the sky a moment ago, but now, without the moon, the night sky became completely dark.

It seems like there’s bound to be blood and gore tonight!

On the street outside Jubao Pavilion, people were strolling back and forth in twos and threes, but their eyes never left the gate of Jubao Pavilion. No matter who saw them, they would not think they were idle people.

After leaving the Jubao Pavilion, Fatty Li understood what was going on at a glance.

He immediately winked at Le Jinxi and shouted, "It's probably inconvenient to travel at this dark night. Let's go back to the inn and rest!"

Le Jinxi nodded stupidly, then followed Fatty Li and disappeared into the street.

Not long after, the hairy man walked out of the Treasure Pavilion. Someone immediately came to greet him and whispered in his ear, "Master Tiger, they left through the back door. I have someone following them."

"Good! Well done! Let's go and join in the fun," the hairy-chested man waved his hand, motioning him to lead the way.

"Kill, kill, kill. I'm going to chop him into pulp piece by piece." At some point, on the roof of Jubao Pavilion, a woman who looked like an auntie was glaring at the hairy man who was leaving with gritted teeth, and her bloodshot pupils seemed to be dripping with blood.

"Junior Sister Yi Ge, remember, don't make too much noise, otherwise I can't help you..." said the gray-shirted senior brother who was standing shoulder to shoulder with her, but before he could finish his words, the woman had already flown away.

"Remember to bring the treasure back..." He did not forget to remind.

With a strange smile on his lips, the shape of his face and body began to change.

After a while, he took off his disguise and looked quite handsome, but there was still a kind of evil and ruffian air about him.

These two special people must have prominent backgrounds, and Kuxi Mountain is their master.

One hundred years ago, the once powerful Kuji Mountain fell into the evil way for unknown reasons, and was therefore besieged by forces from all sides and ended up being wiped out.

"With so many treasures, which one should I start with?" With a wicked smile, in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the endless night sky.
