The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 190: Auction

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Feng Xi asked the store owner in a low voice.

When the owner heard Feng Xi’s words, he couldn’t help but look Feng Xi up and down in surprise. “Sir, do you want to buy that kind of thing?”

“Yeah, I want to give it to an elder. Do you have that kind of thing here?” Feng Xi nodded; he did not avoid this matter. That was because Feng Xi knew the shop owner didn’t know who he was going to give it to, so it didn’t matter to say it.

“Yes I had it, but…” The shop owner nodded, but he was a little bit hesitant, as if there was something difficult to explain.

When he heard the owner’s words, Feng Xi immediately rejoiced, “But what?”

“Sir, it’s really a coincidence. That thing has been sent to the auction just now, but it was not unfortunate. Although that thing is not in my store, you can rush to the auction. The auction hasn’t started yet,” the owner said.

That thing was too precious, so it was usually sold in the auction.

If more people wanted it, it could be sold at a higher price. But, if no one wanted it, it would be a loss. However, it was always difficult to sell in the store. Because of its expensive price, very few people could afford it. Besides, not many people knew about it, so the owner never sold it successfully.

“I see. Can you tell me where is the auction?” Feng Xi felt a little regretful.

“I’ll ask someone to take you there, but ordinary people can’t enter the auction. How about let me write a recommendation for you. Although I’m not as noble as some big shots, you should be able to enter the auction with my recommendation,” the owner said with a smile.

“Yes, please do that. Sorry to bother you.”

When the owner went in to prepare the recommendation, Feng Xi walked back and immediately hugged King of the Netherworld’s arm. “Boss, I’ve found a good gift for Uncle White. Let’s go to the auction later. We can get that thing on auction.”

Seeing that Feng Xi’s complacent look on his smiling face, King of the Netherworld could imagine Uncle White’s expression when he saw that gift.

“What would you do if Uncle White doesn’t like it?”

“No way! Uncle White will love it, definitely!” Feng Xi shook his head. He believed that Uncle White would like it.

Hearing Feng Xi’s words, King of the Netherworld didn’t argue with him. When they meet Uncle White in the Netherworld, they would know whether Uncle White liked this gift.

The owner quickly came out with the recommendation. Then, he called the young woman they met before and asked her to take Feng Xi and others to the auction. This auction sold very precious things, which were for rich people. Many people would go to the auction, because it was held by the Nine Gods City. Furthermore, many people would bid for items in auction, so the scene was always very intense.

With the owner’s order, the woman led them towards the auction. Since Feng Xi had just made a big deal with her, she was much more enthusiastic than usual. On the way, she introduced some information about the Nine Gods City to them.

Feng Xi put the gifts into his ring, which were for the four female attendants, so he left a place for these gifts especially.

A few moments later, they arrived at the auction that the owner mentioned. When they arrived here, they found the door wasn’t very eye-catching, but they felt a sense of seriousness. Two strong guardians stood on both sides of the door, whose cultivation level was Exalt God Seven Stars! This auction, which was held by the Nine Gods City, was really not simple; even the guardians were so powerful.

When Feng Xi showed them the store owner’s recommendation, the two guardians immediately let them enter the auction.

After that, the young woman went back.

Although the door of the auction was a little bit narrow, they found the insider was a beautiful spot when they walked in. The spacious hall was lined with tables and chairs, which were all equal in status. Besides, the auction did not arrange private rooms on purpose. Everyone was looking for a seat casually. Some people were gathered together to discuss something, while others sat alone that seemed to rest.

Since the auction had not started yet, there were not many people here. However, it was close to the start time now, so more and more people came in from outside. When the people came in, they consciously found a place to sit. Although it was not announced, everyone knew the auction was held by the Nine Gods City, so no one dared to make trouble here.

Those who participated in the auction were all acquaintances, so the inside was not noisy at all.

Initially, Feng Xi thought that, but the time closer to the auction time, the more suspicious he became.

“I thought everyone was conscious, but I didn’t expect they are all ‘garrulous women’ who love to talk.”

Only King of the Netherworld heard Feng Xi’s muttering. Hearing his description of those people, King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but find it funny. Although these two words were not right, they were very appropriate. Only the ‘garrulous women’ would like to carp and gossip.

“It’s an auction, so it’s naturally impossible to be quiet,” King of the Netherworld looked at Feng Xi and said.

“I see, but why no one sits in the front seats?” Feng Xi glanced around; he found more and more people sat down. However, he found no one seemed to sit near the first row of the auction stage. Were those seats special and for special people?

King of the Netherworld replied, “Those seats should be the positions for some influential families with deep pockets.”

Thinking for a while, Feng Xi asked, “We are also influential and have deep pockets, right?”

Hearing Feng Xi’s words, King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to sit in the front row?”

Looking around, Feng Xi immediately shook his head with his elbows on the table. He saw that almost everyone came here, but no one sat in the first row yet. In this case, he couldn’t help but feel confused, “No, I don’t like the first row. I just wonder how powerful those so-called big shots are? The auction is about to begin, but they haven’t come yet.”

King of the Netherworld also glanced at the front. “That was the characteristic of some people. They liked the feeling that others were waiting for them.”

While they were talking, the auction finally started to countdown. At this moment, those so-called big shots were finally coming in. They greeted each other politely, but in Feng Xi’s opinion, they were all hypocritical. Although they hated the other party, they still had to smile and greet each other.

Many people participated in the auction, and those people filled the hall, including many women. Feng Xi heard that some people were discussing it around him. In this auction, the women who attended the auction were half more than before. It seemed that they were attracted by something good at this auction, so they came here to discuss the items in the auction.

Feng Xi held King of the Netherworld’s hand worriedly, “Boss, do you think they are here for bidding my gift?”

Hearing what Feng Xi said, Ice Qilin rolled its eyes and thought. “Your gift? Are you kidding me?”

King of the Netherworld looked at Feng Xi and chuckled. He understood what his honey was worried about. “Do you worry about spending more money?”

“Of course, I know what auction is. If so many people bidding for my gift, the price will rise a lot, definitely. I don’t want to spend a lot. I love my money dearly!” Feng Xi fell into King of the Netherworld’s arms and pretended to be in pain.

King of the Netherworld pulled Feng Xi into his arms and flicked Feng Xi’s nose. Then, King of the Netherworld whispered into his ear, “No matter how expensive it will become, it won’t exceed 5 billion. Xi, your money is collected from others. Would you love someone else’s money dearly? You should think twice before you lie next time.”

Feng Xi covered his nose and smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

At this time, Feng Ling, who was a little bit shy, handed a red card to Feng Xi. “My young master, I borrowed this card from others. I heard this card records items in this auction. Do you want to see it?”

Hearing Feng Ling’s words, Feng Xi grabbed it without demur. When Feng Xi flipped through it, he praised, “Good boy, Feng Ling, you are much more useful than someone.”

Feng Ling immediately smiled; he was very happy to help his young master.

As for someone, he glared at Feng Xi angrily with his eyelids twitched.

They had just come to the auction, but this kind of red card was distributed long ago when the door of the auction was opened, so Feng Xi and the others did not get it.

When Feng Ling saw people around them were holding red cards and heard what they were talking about, he knew that what the red card was. In Feng Ling’s mind, he was also a member of Feng Family, so he had to do something for Feng Family. Therefore, he borrowed this red card from someone around him. Fortunately, the other party saw that he looked simple and honest, so he lent the card to Feng Ling.

“Boss, there’s a bottle of perfume!” Feng Xi pointed to a picture on the red card.

Glancing at where Feng Xi pointed, King of the Netherworld said, “It is a kind of potion to maintain the youthful skin. Although the taste of it is fragrant, it is not perfume.”

Hearing that, Feng Xi suddenly realized so many women came here. “No wonder there are so many women. It turns out that they are all for this potion. It’s true that all the women want to keep beautiful.” In the deep of Feng Xi’s heart, he thought. “If I gave both this potion and that thing to Uncle White, it should be a good combination!”

“What a genius I am, haha!”

At a glance, King of the Netherworld saw through what Feng Xi thought, but he didn’t say anything.

As a gong was heard, an old man came out from the curtain behind the auction stage, and then he announced the start of the auction.

The old man started with some polite words as usual, and then he began to auction the items. The order of the items was the same as that on Feng Xi’s red card. However, the items that were auctioned at the beginning were mostly cultivation methods, weapons, and materials. However, Feng Xi was not interested in these things, so he didn’t auction at the beginning. It was not until the thing he was most interested in came out that his eyes lit up.
