Chapter 26: Beautiful Woman Gifts a Luxurious Mansion!

“Follow me,” said Ji Yaoyao with a smile. “This place isn’t spacious enough.”

Before turning away, she cast a deep glance at Medusa. It was clear that she sensed Medusa’s power, and this left her very curious.

After all, Chen Fan was merely at the 21st level of the Mortal Realm, yet he had such a powerful companion. What was more, Medusa didn’t appear to be an ordinary powerhouse.

The innate imperial air she carried was something only a top-tier being could possess, not something a normal cultivator could exude.

This made Ji Yaoyao curious about Chen Fan.

Chen Fan and Medusa exchanged a glance before following her.

Before long, the three arrived at a vast open space. Without hesitation, Chen Fan summoned the Dragon Corpse.

“Boom!”

There was a thunderous sound, and the earth shook beneath them. The pressure of a giant dragon’s aura spread out in all directions.

“Indeed, this aura, this size—it’s the corpse of an ancient giant dragon!” Ji Yaoyao closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the energy around her.

“However, the pressure is a bit weak. It comes from a low-magic world. But the freshness is over 90%, which is top quality. The only regret is that the Dragon Pearl is gone, so its value is somewhat reduced.”

Ji Yaoyao opened her eyes again, quickly concluding. “How do you intend to auction this off?”

“I can give you three options,” she said, presenting the choices.

“First, we offer you a reasonable price and directly purchase the Dragon Corpse.

Second, you come up with the auction plan, and we simply provide the venue, but we take a 10% commission. Third, we take full responsibility for the Dragon Corpse, including promotion, planning, and auctioning, but we take a 15% commission.”

Chen Fan had already thought it through before coming.

“Let’s go with the third option.”

He was willing to leave everything to the auction house and just wait for the profits.

A 15% commission did seem a bit high, but given that Tianyu Auction House had a monopoly in Nanshi, there was little other choice.

Regardless, he felt that handing it over to them would make more money than selling it himself.

“All right,” Ji Yaoyao said. “Then it’s settled! In four days, we will hold a large-scale auction. This Dragon Corpse has arrived just in time.”

“It’s been years since we’ve seen one. Although it lacks the Dragon Pearl, it will still be highly sought after.”

Ji Yaoyao smiled with enthusiasm. “Don’t worry, I’ll personally oversee this. You’ll make a fortune!”

Chen Fan secretly thought, No wonder they sent the main person in charge—it’s been years since a Dragon Corpse appeared.

“Can I receive an advance?” Chen Fan asked after a moment of thought.

“You need money?” Ji Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, glancing at Medusa.

“Of course!” Chen Fan replied with a grin. “Otherwise, I’ll just keep the Dragon Corpse and eat it myself. The storage ring can keep it fresh.”

“Eat it yourself?” Ji Yaoyao chuckled. “How rich you must be to say something like that…”

“How much can I get?” Chen Fan asked eagerly.

“The base price for the Dragon Corpse is at least 100,000 gold,” Ji Yaoyao said after a pause. “Given that, I’ll give you 80,000 as an advance.”

“Only 100,000 as the base price?” Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.

“Well, the most valuable part—the Dragon Pearl—is gone. What else do you expect?”

Ji Yaoyao explained.

“This is just the corpse of a giant dragon from a low-magic world. Although it’s full of treasure, those treasures still need to be processed.”

“The final auction price will only be revealed once the auction is over.”

She added, “Giant dragons haven’t appeared in years, so the market for them should be great. I’ll give you an advance of 80,000 now, and we’ll settle the balance afterward.”

Ji Yaoyao handed him a golden card. “This is a VIP card from Tianyu Auction House. With it, you can make purchases anywhere in the country, and we offer a 10% discount for any transactions at our locations.”

“10% off…” Chen Fan was pleasantly surprised as he took the card. The number on the card read exactly 80,000.

“Thank you!” he said.

“By the way, do you have any ready-to-move-in houses?” he asked. “I’d like to buy one today.”

“80,000 is a lot,” he thought. In this era, the currency used was gold coins, which were universal worldwide.

Gold was chosen because of its rarity and stability, and it had many uses, especially in weapon crafting. Additionally, it was extremely rare to find gold in the garbage dumps, so it was believed that gold might also have value in other realms.

“What type of house do you want?” Ji Yaoyao asked.

“As big as possible, with many rooms,” Chen Fan replied. “It should be in a remote area, quiet, with no neighbors nearby, and ideally with a garden, training ground, swimming pool, and a yard. I’d prefer the land around it to be under my control.”

Ji Yaoyao frowned slightly. “That kind of property is highly sought after.”

She was telling the truth. In this era, the more remote the area, the better. Though the city might be bustling, it became eerily quiet once everything closed down.

“Let me see what I can do,” Ji Yaoyao said. “With my authority, I should be able to help.”

She pulled out her phone and made a series of calls. “There isn’t anything available…”

She put the phone down, looking a little helpless. In this day and age, people value their privacy, and no one wants to live near others.

“How about this: I’ll help you out as a favor,” Ji Yaoyao said after thinking for a moment. “I’ll give you a house under my name.”

“Give me a house?” Chen Fan was stunned. “Isn’t that too good to be true? Falling from the sky like a pie?”

He immediately became wary.
