The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

After the fiery red fox fur was auctioned off, the auction was already halfway through. Although the following items were all very precious, Su Qingning was not interested in them and did not participate in the bidding.

The 5,000-year-old Bodhi fruit, a holy-grade medicinal herb that she sent for auction, caused quite a stir. The royal family, major family forces, and some powerful independent cultivators all participated in the auction.

In the end, the royal family had greater financial resources and bought the Bodhi fruit for 20 million gold coins.

This price was a little beyond Su Qingning's expectations, and it also surprised her a little.

"Tsk, I made quite a bit of money~" Xie Yichen chuckled and muttered softly.

When the other people in the room heard what Xie Yichen said, they thought he was saying that the auction house made a lot of money, so they rolled their eyes and cursed him as a profiteer in their hearts.

However, Qi Runyu not only cursed in his heart, but also openly cursed in front of others, "Humph, profiteer."

Xie Yichen glanced at Qi Runyu, but a smile remained on his face, as if he didn't care about such comments at all. He even said with a bit of pride: "Thank you for the compliment."

"Bah! Who praised you? Can't you hear I'm scolding you?" Qi Runyu's eyes widened, his face flushed with anger. Really, how could this guy always be so shameless!

"Oh, I really didn't hear that." Xie Yichen adjusted his sleeves gracefully, his lips curled up in a smile that was both provocative and smug. "For a businessman, the word 'scoundrel' is the best compliment."

"You..." Qi Runyu glared at Xie Yichen angrily, and was choked so much that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Seeing Qi Runyu being humiliated again, Yang Youli and Tang Jinan shook their heads helplessly. They really couldn't understand why someone always remembered eating but not beatings since he was a child!

Having easily won the argument, Xie Yichen was in a good mood. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

At this time, the auction downstairs also brought up the last item.

The red cloth was lifted, and a monster egg about thirty to forty centimeters tall with a green shell appeared in front of everyone.

Zi Su's eyes moved, scanning everyone below. Under their curious gazes, she slowly spoke, "Everyone, this is the last lot of this auction, a magical beast egg of unknown species and attributes."

As soon as the words fell, a noise broke out in the hall.

"No way! Is this the last lot?"

"Monster eggs? Or monster eggs of unknown species and attributes? Are you sure?"

"Isn't the Seven Stars Auction House the largest auction house in the imperial capital? Why would they auction something so uncertain?"

……

Facing the doubts of the crowd, Zi Su did not panic at all. She still had a perfect smile on her face and spoke slowly:

"Everyone, please be patient and listen to me. I know you have many questions, but I can assure you with the reputation of the Seven Stars Auction House. Every item we auction is appraised by professional appraisers. All items on the auction block are guaranteed to be rare. There will be absolutely no fraud or deception. You can bid with complete confidence."

After hearing what Zi Su said, everyone calmed down, temporarily put aside their doubts, and waited for Zi Su to give them an explanation.

Zi Su didn't keep everyone in suspense any longer. She smiled and said, "I know you're all very curious about this monster egg, so I won't keep you in suspense."

"According to the sender, this magical beast egg was found in the nest of the sacred beast, the Wind Harnessing Eagle. Master Wu, our auction house's treasure appraiser, has determined that this magical beast egg is most likely the egg of the Wind Harnessing Eagle."

"Everyone should know that many magical beasts will be close to the first person they see after birth, especially avian magical beasts, who have a chick complex. As long as you train it well in the future, even if you are not a summoner and cannot form a contract with a magical beast, this magical beast will still become your most loyal companion."

At this point, Zi Su smiled lightly and said, "Think about it, having a majestic sacred beast fight alongside you is such an enviable thing."

It's undeniable that the auctioneers at the Seven Stars Auction House are incredibly skilled at stirring people's emotions. With just a few words, Zi Su had successfully managed to get everyone present interested in the monster egg. Even though they weren't summoners themselves, and even though they didn't know the attributes of the monster inside the egg, they still wanted to bid for it.

Even Su Qingning, who had no interest in the items at the auction all night, became a little interested in the monster egg downstairs.

"Young Master, aren't you an all-purpose summoner? You can just take a picture of that monster egg." Jiuwei carefully observed the cyan monster egg downstairs and said with a slightly disdainful tone: "Although it's just a holy beast egg, it's enough for you at this moment."

It turned out to be a sacred beast egg!

Su Qingning was a little surprised. The Nine-Tailed Fox was an ancient mythical beast. Since he said that the monster egg downstairs was a holy beast egg, it must be.

Currently, Su Qingning only has two summoned beasts, Xiaobai and Jiuwei, of ice and fire attributes respectively. She was just worrying about not having contracted beasts of other attributes, when a sacred beast egg appeared.

Although she still doesn't know what attributes the monster in the monster egg has, Su Qingning is a full-class summoner, so she doesn't need to worry about this issue at all. She can contract with it no matter what attribute it is.

Thinking of this, Su Qingning wanted to take a picture of this monster egg.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused and the atmosphere was almost heated, Zi Su changed the subject and said, "Of course, we can't guarantee that this monster egg is definitely the egg of the Wind Harnessing Divine Eagle. Therefore, you need to consider carefully when bidding. If the auction is successful, no matter what monster hatches from the monster egg in the future, you will bear the consequences yourself. We, the Seven Star Auction House, will not be responsible."

After clarifying all the questions, Zi Su announced the start of the final auction. "The starting price for the monster egg is five million gold coins. Each bid must be no less than ten thousand. Bidding begins now."

When they heard the starting price of five million gold coins, most of the people present began to hesitate. After all, the Seven Star Auction House could not guarantee that this was definitely the egg of the Wind-Riding Eagle. In other words, they bought this Warcraft egg purely as a blind box.

If what they got was a Wind-Riding Eagle, they would naturally be delighted. Even if what they got was a king beast or a spirit beast, they could accept it. But if what they got was a low-level magical beast, wouldn’t they be at a great loss?

Just when everyone was hesitating, Su Qingning raised her hand and pressed the red crystal, and then a clear and slightly childish voice slowly sounded.

"Five million gold coins."
