Chapter 360: Chapter 360: What Grudge! What Resentment! (3 more)

"One million two hundred thousand."

Before Ling Feng’s words had even faded, Deng Yongshi immediately outbid Ling Feng’s price again.

At this moment, Deng Yongshi’s dark brows were deeply furrowed, her heart filled with immense frustration. Every time she wanted something, there were those annoying people dead set on competing with her!

Yet she didn’t know that the one she was competing against was always the same person.

This time, it was General Deng Xian, Deng Yongshi’s grandfather, who felt pained, his face bearing a look of hardship, "My dear granddaughter, could you please slow down a bit with your bidding?"

"One million two hundred and ten thousand!"

"One million two hundred and twenty thousand!"

"One million five hundred thousand."

Ling Feng had an indifferent look on his face as he called out a bid of one million five hundred thousand directly. He no longer had the patience to haggle over the price bit by bit with others.

After all, with over six million Upper-Grade Elemental Stones just credited to his account, Ling Feng’s purse was bursting at the seams, not at all inferior to Deng Yongshi’s.

"Damn it, these guys are raising the price so much in one go, clearly leaving no chance for others!"

Family members behind individuals like Ye Nanfeng and Lin Mochen, who were originally thinking of competing over the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit, watched as their chance disappeared in mere moments as bids topped one million Upper-Grade Elemental Stones.

Clearly, they’d lost their qualifications to bid, with no need for further consideration.

Of course, there were also nobles’ sons and daughters who were not satisfied, but very quickly, almost all of them chose to give up.

In the blink of an eye, the price of the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit had been called to over two million, a figure that could already be called extravagant.

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

Deng Yongshi clenched her silver teeth, anger apparent in her voice. She had attended the auction twice in row, only to encounter someone stubbornly bidding against her each time, leaving her feeling extremely dejected.

Ling Feng merely pursed his lips and still used his deep voice to bid higher, "Three million."

This time, even Deng Yongshi did not place another bid, not because she didn’t want to, but because General Deng Xian had already told her plainly that he had only three million Upper-Grade Elemental Stones left on him, not a single one more.

"Three million for the first time!"

Seeing the entire auction hall fall silent, the old man Feng Yu picked up the small hammer and tapped once on the auction table, calling out loudly.

Within VIP Box No. 3, Deng Yongshi’s delicate body trembled with rage. Teeth itching with hatred, she wished she could bite the competitor to death.

"Shi, it seems the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit is not destined for you. Don’t force it," General Deng began advising her.

"Humph! Stupid Grandpa, it’s all your fault! Why did you put all the Elemental Stones into buying that Heavenly Mallow Sacred Water? You promised me you’d help me win the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit as a gift tonight!"

Deng Yongshi’s brows were deep in a scowl as she glared fiercely at General Deng.

"Shi, there are varying degrees of urgency in matters. To break through the bottleneck of the Forty-nine Meridians, it’s not necessary to have the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit. If it comes to it, Grandpa can buy you other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the future. It’s the same thing," General Deng tried to touch the back of her head, but Deng Yongshi slapped his hand away, "Stupid Grandpa, I don’t want to deal with you!"

Saying this, the "wild girl" charged out of the VIP box, glared at the box where Ling Feng was, and stormed over with gritted teeth.

She was dying to know which damned rascal had dared to snatch away the item Miss Deng desired.

"Three million for the second time!"

Feng Yu tapped the small hammer in his hand again. In fact, the Sky Alliance Commerce had auctioned Dragon Blood Holy Fruits before, and the highest bid then was only one million eight hundred thousand. This time, it had nearly doubled!

"Three million for the third time!"

With a final strike of the gavel!

Ling Feng had finally gotten his wish and acquired the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit!

"Congratulations, Young Master Ling." Yue Yunlan turned her head to look at Ling Feng and said with a slight smile.

"Bang!"

Just as Ling Feng was about to speak, someone kicked open the door of the VIP room, and a girl in emerald clothes stormed in furiously!

It was none other than General Deng Xian’s beloved granddaughter, Deng Yongshi!

"Damn it, I want to see who it is that dares to compete with me for the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit!"

Deng Yongshi’s eyebrows were fiercely knit, and anger blazed in her almond eyes as she shouted loudly.

"Auction bidding, the highest bidder wins, what’s wrong with that?"

Ling Feng pursed his lips; he knew that woman, Deng Yongshi, was definitely furious but didn’t expect her to barge into his private room so brazenly.

"Huh?"

Deng Yongshi was slightly taken aback, recognizing Ling Feng’s voice and after taking a few more glances at him, even though he was cloaked, she still identified him and her rage intensified, "You bastard, it’s you again!"

Ling Feng felt a wave of frustration in his heart; he had already put on a cloak, yet this woman could still recognize him just by hearing him speak a single sentence.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ling Feng removed his cloak and said indifferently, "Miss Deng, long time no see."

"You bastard!" Deng Yongshi was so irritated she gritted her teeth; she lunged at Ling Feng, glared at him furiously, and bellowed, "You competed with me for the Sword Enlightenment Stone last time, and now you’ve taken my Dragon Blood Holy Fruit. What grudge does this miss have with you!"

"No grudges, no grievances." Ling Feng touched his nose and pursed his lips, "It’s just the rule of the auction, the highest bidder wins. I don’t see any reason why I should let you have it, do I?"

"You!" Deng Yongshi was so angry she wanted to bite Ling Feng; she waved her little fist at him and huffed, "I don’t care! Three million Upper Grade Elemental Stones, is that it? I’ll give you the stones, and you give me the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit!"

"Wow, isn’t this Miss Deng of the General’s Mansion? How come you’re acting so spoiled here, tsk tsk tsk..."

Qiaoqiao, who had been watching the spectacle unfold, finally couldn’t hold back and started to tease.

"You?" It was only then that Deng Yongshi realized there were others in the room; she turned to see Yue Yunlan and Qiaoqiao and was startled.

She knew Yue Yunlan, of course, but what she couldn’t understand was why Yue Yunlan would be together with that detestable Ling Feng.

Just who was Ling Feng, exactly?

"Yue Yunlan! Is that you?"

Deng Yongshi stared at Yue Yunlan, reflecting the old saying "beauty begets envy," as Yue Yunlan was known as the number one beauty of Heavenly Position Academy, while she, Deng Yongshi, was the number one beauty of Sea Blue Academy. However, when it came to overall ranking, Yue Yunlan far surpassed Deng Yongshi among the top ten beauties of Imperial City.

Thus, Deng Yongshi naturally didn’t have a pleasant look for Yue Yunlan.

"Well, Yue Yunlan, you’re really sneaky, knowing that this miss needs the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit, yet deliberately letting that bastard compete with me for it!"

"Pah!" Qiaoqiao, hearing her miss being wrongly accused, immediately placed her hands on her hips, puffed up with anger, "My miss doesn’t have the time to do such boring things. Some people have filthy hearts, so their thoughts are just as despicable!"

"When I’m talking to Yue Yunlan, when is it your turn to butt in, you lowly servant!" Deng Yongshi was already in a towering rage; she raised her hand, about to slap Qiaoqiao across the face.

"Shi, no mischief!"

At that moment, an incredibly authoritative voice came from the entrance of the room, as Elder Deng, the Old General, had already arrived.
