Chapter 1266: 561: Eye of the Ghost King acquired! Rakshasa Princess?

The woman Store Manager had said that the Brilliant Star Tear, also known as the Eye of the Ghost King, was not unknown for its value by many people.

On the contrary, many knew it might be connected to a treasure and that it contained mysterious energy, which is why it was once bid up to sky-high prices.

However, over the years, every owner it passed through suffered from E Yun, so it was regarded as an unfortunate object and became neglected.

For almost a year now, at every monthly auction, the Brilliant Star Tear went unsold. Yet, its owner insisted on a reserve price of 130,000 Gold Coins without budging.

Therefore, Lanling could basically buy it at the reserve price.

Sure enough, when the woman Store Manager announced the Brilliant Star Tear, everyone in the audience became lethargic and switched to spectator mode.

"Brilliant Star Tear, starting at 130,000, with each increase no less than 1,000 Gold Coins," the woman Store Manager said.

Lanling had no interest in playing any cat-and-mouse game and directly intended to raise a paddle to bid.

"One hundred thirty thousand!" However, someone was quicker—it was Nini’an.

The woman Store Manager was stunned; she had initially thought no one would bid, allowing Lanling to buy it at the reserve price.

Unexpectedly, someone did bid, and it was the Barbarian King’s eighteenth concubine.

Lanling was also taken aback. What did Nini’an mean by this? Why?

Had she seen through him and was targeting him at the auction? Undoubtedly, this was impossible; if she had really discovered he was Lanling, she would have ordered the Samurai beside her to kill him directly.

The only explanation was that Nini’an wanted the Eye of the Ghost King for her own purposes, possibly related to the Ghost Realm World.

Lanling had indeed guessed correctly.

When Nini’an arrived in Rakshasa City, she was utterly shocked and completely at a loss.

After handing over the 130,000 Gold Coins, she hadn’t even met the Barbarian King. Moreover, she faced countless competitors; across the entire Rakshasa Tribe territory, innumerable Chieftains wanted to marry off their daughters as concubines to the Barbarian King.

It wasn’t a pageant but resembled one.

Furthermore, her 130,000 Gold Coins were not much at all; dowries surpassing this amount were countless.

Also, the Barbarian King cared nothing for dowries and Gold Coins; the reports of substantial dowries were simply because intermediaries wanted to pocket the extra.

On the day Nini’an voluntarily offered herself for marriage, she faced over thirty competitors.

After that, she was treated like merchandise, examined from head to toe by several older women without missing an inch.

Every part, including face, body, bone structure, bloodline, and even the most private areas, underwent inspection and appraisal.

Nini’an remembered clearly that among the thirty-odd competitors that day, her overall score placed her nineteenth.

Yes, she was merely mid-ranking at best, and that was largely due to her body score; purely in terms of beauty, she wouldn’t even place nineteenth.

At that time, Nini’an was nearly in despair.

Because the Barbarian King hadn’t taken a concubine in six months; even the first place might not have a chance, let alone her nineteenth place.

Unexpectedly, that very night she was directly taken by the female Samurai of the Barbarian King’s palace and, after a simple ceremony, became a concubine of the Barbarian King.

She had no idea why she stood out, considering she was only ranked nineteenth among the women who presented themselves that day.

In terms of looks, body, or status, she wasn’t the top choice among all the competitors. Why had the Barbarian King chosen her?

It was entirely shrouded in mist.

Thus, Nini’an was hit by overwhelming surprise.

However, about a month had passed, and she had only seen the Barbarian King once on the night she became his concubine.

He was a man who made one’s heart race, a man who was both incredibly alluring and immensely intimidating.

When he appeared before Nini’an, her legs went weak, and she involuntarily knelt down.

In fact, she hardly got a good look at the Barbarian King’s face, as his overwhelming and cold aura enveloped the entire space, making her feel as if her throat could be seized at any moment, as if suffocation was imminent, so she dared not raise her head.

Since then, she felt as if she had risen to unimaginable heights.

Walking in Rakshasa City, everyone bowed to her with utmost respect.

However... that’s all.

Let alone the Rakshasa King; she hadn’t even seen her titular husband, the Barbarian King, again.

She wanted to speak for her father, at least make him the leader of the Silver Alliance.

But she also knew not to be hasty, and the most crucial thing was she couldn’t even see the Barbarian King.

After becoming the Barbarian King’s concubine, there was no need for intrigue, as she lived alone in a castle. Inside were dozens of Samurai and maids, all following only her orders.

In a month, she hadn’t even met the Barbarian King’s legitimate wife.

The day after she married the Barbarian King, he returned her 130,000 Gold Coins and granted her an additional 30,000 Gold Coins, with monthly allowances of 3,000 Gold Coins.

Such a life could truly be described as the pinnacle of wealth and luxury.

Previously, she had only one silk dress, which was torn by Lanling. But in Rakshasa City, in her castle, she had countless pieces of fine silk and satin, countless precious jewelry.

The tens of thousands of Gold Coins were more than she could ever spend, with everything she could possibly want.
