Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Four blurry silhouettes appeared in the flickering candlelight. Xuan Yu opened the candle a crack, only able to glimpse a faint orange light.

"One million three hundred thousand taels."

With the host's almost broken voice shouting, Furong Pavilion once again became the focus of the whole audience.

The two counselors seemed to have endured to the limit. They twisted their facial features 360 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, and then with two "thumps", they knelt heavily on the ground, instantly raising three inches of dust.

"Your Highness! I dare you to stop chasing me!"

Lu Yinnian put his hands behind his back and looked down at the two idiots at his feet with a grim look in his eyes.

"When is it your turn to point fingers at me when I'm doing something? If you do it again, I won't tolerate it."

His dark gaze once again turned towards Yuquan Pavilion, a few strands of white hair still clinging to the bright Buddha's hand flowers. The slight anger that had just dissipated between his brows gathered again, and he said with a disdainful look: "I want to see how capable you are!"

Ruan Chuyin had a bad premonition and turned her head tremblingly. When Ji Zhiya raised his lips, she pounced on him and covered his mouth excitedly.

"Master Ji, stop yelling! I can't repay this favor even if I treat you to all the delicacies of the land and sea for the rest of your life!"

Ji Zhiya pulled her hand down and held it in his palm, feeling its softness. He placed the tip of his thumb over her knuckles and rubbed it back and forth.

The tingling sensation made her feel itchy, and when she was about to retreat, the big hand pulled her tightly into his arms.

His strong arms draped over her slender waist, her two large white rabbits suddenly collided with a thick chest. Their eyes met in a flash, and his cunning smile was clearly engraved in his astonished pupils.

"Then you might as well think about whether there is a better way to repay this favor."

Ruan Chuyin gazed into those deep, sea-like eyes, her heartbeat accelerating unconsciously. Her cheeks felt as if they were burning, and as the blush slowly faded, a hint of shyness, tempting to be picked up.

"One million and a half taels."

Just as their lips slowly drew closer, Ziwei Pavilion, perfectly timed to raise the price once again, causing both Lu Yinnian and Ji Zhiya to lower their gazes. The other party's bid was resolute, as if they were determined not to give up until they had secured the item.

"Two and a half million taels." Ji Zhiya responded without hesitation with an astronomical figure. The explosive bidding made the true master of Ziwei Pavilion's eyes grow even colder.

"Your Highness, do you want to continue bidding?" Le Wen asked timidly, his lips trembling. This amount was not small even for the emperor.

Jiang Wenzhou quietly fiddled with the jade ring on his thumb, his eyes never leaving the two figures opposite him that seemed to be entangled. The cold air released from his body made the two female officials and the groom in the room silent, and they were worried about the Crown Princess in their hearts.

At this moment, you could hear a pin drop in Baihua Tower. Aside from the three fiercely bidding bosses, everyone else, including those at the Narcissus Pavilion, was stunned by their unstoppable bidding.

Fu Suiyun only now realized the true strength of the person from Furong Pavilion. He was the one who accepted the Jade Bone Cream.

"Brother Fu, those three are very powerful. It's hard to say who will win." Jin Wuchen analyzed the current situation with great interest. If he weren't the head of the family, he would really like to throw a punch and fight them.

"Suiyun, who do you think will win this warm jade pot?" Yue Huashan was also extremely curious. She had originally been certain it would be the one from Furong Pavilion. But now, judging by the momentum, it seemed the other two were not far behind. And just now, the bid from Yuquan Pavilion had reached a full one million taels, quite provocative.

"Yuquan Pavilion is even more powerful." Fu Suiyun always had a unique eye for detail, never failing to judge people or objects. If nothing unexpected happened, the owner of this warm jade pot would be the gray-haired man.

There was a woman beside him, most likely for her beauty's smile. In this respect, she was even more willing than herself.

He remembered that last year he had spent a full 1.2 million taels to sleep with Hao Rong, the most beautiful woman in Nanxing Country. Compared to the one in Yuquan Pavilion, his ambition was still small.

"Three and a half million taels." Ziwei Pavilion refused to give in and added another one million taels in return.

The bloody "nakedness" of the two families made Furong Pavilion fall into deep thought.

Lu Yinnian felt that this was no longer a simple auction, but rather a situation of deep hatred, and that they were determined to fight to the death. He decided to withdraw and wait and see for a while.

Ruan Chuyin tugged at Ji Zhiya's arm tightly, her eyes red and she sobbed, "Master Ji, I really don't need that jade pot. Thank you for your kindness, but please stop pursuing me." If she continued pursuing me, she wouldn't be owing me a favor, but her life. Besides, the matter of the Qingyou Fruit hadn't been resolved yet, so how could she possibly feel?

"Miss Ruan, don't worry. The Warm Jade Pot is an ancient treasure, one-of-a-kind. If you miss it, you'll never get it again. I also love this treasure very much."

"Five million taels." After the words fell, an even more outrageous price was called out.

"puff"

The MC spat out a mouthful of blood, kicked his legs twice, and then fainted. His mask fell to the ground, breaking in two with a crisp sound that echoed in his ears, leaving an indescribable sense of strangeness and horror. Many guests at the scene, unable to bear the emotional turmoil, convulsed and were carried off by waiters one after another.

The three noble ladies in the Magnolia Pavilion leaned against the window with trembling legs, staring at the men in the Hibiscus Pavilion and the Jade Spring Pavilion, wishing they could snatch back the two mountains of gold right now and take them for themselves.

Ruan Chuyin felt like she was dying of pain. This prodigal man! Five million taels for a jade pot. She felt that if Ji Zhiya could only swallow the price, her body would heal faster.

The Hibiscus Pavilion was completely silent. The two counselors stared at the prince's ever-changing handsome face, their features also twisting.

Five million taels! Such a sum of money, I've never seen it before. Today, Baihualou has opened their eyes!

A burst of laughter rose in the air.

The window of Ziwei Pavilion was suddenly opened, and a figure as tall as a green pine walked out from the candlelight and stood proudly in front of the railing.

"Sword Immortal Fufeng is quite obsessed with this Warm Jade Pot. I wonder if you are really obsessed with the pot or with the person?"

After seeing his face clearly, Ruan Chuyin's heart sank suddenly, and then began to beat wildly. She suddenly felt as if she had been caught cheating on the spot. She quickly let go of Ji Zhiya's arm and rushed to the window. The moment she opened the window, she suddenly felt that she had not adjusted her emotions yet, and her whole body froze again.

With a creaking sound, Ji Zhiya calmly opened the window as wide as possible under the beauty's shocked gaze, and replied calmly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, and he must know what I mean."

What's your intention? Please don't hurt me!

Ruan Chuyin turned towards him with a look of horror, screaming in her heart.

The clamor in the building grew louder and louder. One was the current Crown Prince, one was the elusive Fufeng Swordsman, and the other was the Crown Princess, a figure of unparalleled talent and beauty. With three legendary figures all appearing together, how could they possibly contain themselves? Especially since many of today's guests were from aristocratic families, having thoroughly witnessed the Crown Princess's peerless grace at the palace banquet. Even with a veil obscuring her radiant eyes, they couldn't mistake them. They all roared with excitement, the atmosphere more chaotic than ever.

"How dare you act so insolently in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess! Do you all want to go to the Dali Temple's Sky Prison to drink a cup of hot tea?" Le Wen was in a solemn tone, and his loud voice echoed in the Baihua Tower.

The discussions stopped abruptly in a few moments, but the enthusiasm of those young men did not diminish in the slightest. They straightened their bodies and looked towards Yuquan Tower tenderly.

Now, Ruan Chuyin saw only a barren desert, devoid of color. Even if she could explain herself back, what good would it do? She was already utterly embarrassed. Cautiously, she raised her head and forced a smile across from her, a smile that was slightly more appealing than tears.

Jiang Wenzhou had a faint smile on his face, the curve of his lips and eyes revealed just the right amount of distance, and his emotions were perfectly appropriate.

But in the next second, the curve of the corners of the eyes suddenly deepened, the beautiful thin lips opened slightly, and an astronomical figure was reported calmly.

"Six million taels."

At this moment, Ruan Chuyin finally understood what it meant to say the harshest words in the gentlest tone.

Jiang Wenzhou was different from Ji Zhiya; he and she were from the same family. Six million was thrown away without a second thought. The pain in her chest couldn't be described as "squambling." She felt like she could be reincarnated.

"Don't chase me! Please!" Ruan Chuyin pretended to touch her nose and pleaded in a low voice. Worried that Ji Zhiya couldn't hear clearly, she tugged at his sleeve.

Ji Zhiya looked at the pair of endlessly smiling eyes opposite him, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and disappeared into the orange light.

Everyone was very satisfied with this big bite of melon, especially the noble lady present, who felt that she would have something to do tomorrow.

Some of the brave ones even secretly made bets, betting on whether the Crown Princess would spend her life with Fufeng Sword Immortal.
