Chapter 450: Chapter 0451: Spend the Night with You

As the auctioneer’s voice faded, Chu Ge saw a glass cabinet being carried up, with a lifelike Seven-colored Horse inside it, its colors vibrant and bright under the illumination.

Huo Tianqian sneered at the sight and said, "This kind of Seven-colored Horse is commonly seen in antique stores, and they even brought it here for auction?"

Chu Ge just glanced indifferently and then lowered his eyes. His purpose here was that secret technique, so he had no interest in anything else.

On the other hand, Zhao Wuji’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the Seven-colored Horse, gazing at it with a somewhat surprised look, his eyes not blinking as he stared at the horse.

The auctioneer quickly began to take the initiative to introduce: "Everyone must be familiar with the Seven-colored Horse. However, this Seven-colored Horse is significantly different from those displayed in antique stores. The ones in antique stores are made of porcelain, while this Seven-colored Horse is crafted from Nephrite Jade, and the colors of this Seven-colored Horse are the natural hues of Nephrite Jade pieced together."

The people below were initially uninterested, but upon hearing the auctioneer’s words, they stretched their necks in curiosity to take a closer look.

A jade-made Seven-colored Horse, and not just any antique?

Suddenly, it sparked everyone’s curiosity. Those at the back, who couldn’t see clearly, even ran to the front to get a better look.

Huo Tianqian also curiously stretched his neck, "Is that thing really made of jade?"

How could jade have seven colors? It’s probably fake.

At this moment, Huo Tianqian truly wanted to go down and check if the jade was real or fake.

Zhao Wuji also looked with curious eyes at the scene below. However, compared to Huo Tianqian, his expression wasn’t as obvious.

The auctioneer continued to recount the origin of the Seven-colored Horse, but Chu Ge had not taken in a single word.

All he heard was the auctioneer mentioning that it was made of jade, and subconsciously wanted to use his True Qi to probe for any Spiritual Power within, to no avail.

Chu Ge’s mood instantly dampened.

"That’s all for the introduction of the Seven-colored Horse. Now, the starting bid for the Seven-colored Horse is one million. Those who like this Seven-colored Horse may start bidding," stated the auctioneer.

As the auctioneer’s words concluded, the people in the hall began to get restless. Even if the Seven-colored Horse was not made of jade, its status as an antique relic from the Tang Dynasty alone made it worth tens of millions. And now the starting bid was only one million?

The attendees glanced at each other and then raised their paddles one after another, and the price quickly soared to fifty million.

Although Zhao Wuji was interested in the Seven-colored Horse, it was merely a passing interest, not enough to actually spend money to bid for it.

He sat there leisurely, legs crossed, chuckling, "Another trick."

Huo Tianqian was puzzled, "A trick? What kind of trick?"

"The tactics of auctions," Zhao Wuji nodded towards the stage and continued, "Don’t be fooled by the low starting bid, even though it’s several times lower than the market value. But this is an auction house where someone would discreetly manipulate to gradually push the price up. A progressively higher price is much more easy for people to accept than a high price all at once."

Huo Tianqian sort of understood but not completely. Being a simple man, he was clueless about such refined matters.

Zhao Wuji didn’t expect Huo Tianqian to understand, so seeing the perplexed look in Huo Tianqian’s eyes, he did not bother to explain any further.

At the same time, in the second compartment, a woman with a hot figure and seductive poses was lying on her side on an imperial concubine chair. She was wearing a high-slit cheongsam, the slit reaching up to the upper thigh, just a bit more and it would reveal places that shouldn’t be seen.

Her face was lightly made-up, although she was clearly forty years old, she looked just like a woman in her twenties, her face full of collagen, her skin fair and delicate to the touch.

"Lady Hua, are you interested in this Seven-colored Horse?" A muscular man was half-kneeling in front of Hua Liuyue, gently massaging her with his large palms.

"That Seven-colored Horse is not very useful, at most it’s just a decorative item. If I were a collector perhaps I would bid for it, but I am not a collector; it’s useless to me."

Hua Liuyue’s delicate voice resounded as she supported her head with one hand and slowly raised the other, her pale, tender fingers gently hooked the man’s chin, forcing their gazes to meet, "Why, are you interested in that Seven-colored Horse?"

The man shook his head, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes. Suddenly being stared at directly by Hua Liuyue, his heartbeat inexplicably began to speed up.

It was just a beautiful woman lying there, but her gaze gave him a cold, bone-chilling feeling.

The man blinked, and when he looked at her again, the depths of her eyes had turned into clear ripples of water.

"I don’t want it; I just thought that if Lady Hua likes it, I would bid on it and give it to Lady Hua."

The man’s deep voice spoke out, his pitch-black pupils squinting slightly, gazing affectionately at Hua Liuyue.

Hua Liuyue smiled knowingly, her supple fingers gently traced the man’s face, causing tremors wherever her nails touched, and he took several deep breaths.

No, this couldn’t go on, or he would surely burst.

"Does Lady Hua have any other instructions? If not..." The man was about to stand up when suddenly his hand was caught by Hua Liuyue.

Hua Liuyue’s eyes gleamed with a layer of enchanting charm, and she spoke with a smile that could bewitch hearts: "The auction is not over yet; why are you in such a hurry to leave? Where are you planning to go?"

The man did not dodge the question and said directly: "I’m afraid if I stay here any longer, I won’t be able to stop myself from wanting to devour you."

Hua Liuyue giggled foolishly, slowly sitting up, her bosom nearly bursting through her clothes.

"This is not a good place for you to consume," Hua Liuyue murmured, tossing her wavy shoulder-length hair with a smirking smile, "How about this, after the auction is over, I’ll take you to a good place, okay? I guarantee you’ll want to visit a second time after going once."

The man walked back and sat down on a couch at the side, his long legs seemed restless as if there was no place to settle them in the cramped room.

"I’m afraid that pies don’t just fall from the sky, so perhaps Lady Hua might state her terms first?"

The man gave Hua Liuyue a meaningful look, adding, "The terms I speak of are about you yourself."

His purpose for coming here was precisely for Hua Liuyue, and it would be a great loss if he was arranged with some other women.

So, he directly cut to the chase and asked her what were the conditions for spending one night with her.

Hua Liuyue slowly curved her lips, giving him a cool glance, then looked down at the stage. "The purpose of my visit here is for that secret technique. But before I came, I had already inquired, and there are quite a few Sects competing for this secret technique. If you can help me obtain this secret technique, no matter how long you want my company, I am more than willing."

Hua Liuyue’s gaze once again fell upon the man, but this time, her eyes held a slightly different expression...
