Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 31: The Auction (4)

Shen Yu's bet surprised some people as the rise in his was high but VIPs were far from being intimidated by such price. They instantly began to shout even higher bids. But it was clear that the number of people who were bidding for the Spirit Core was decreasing.

Shen Yu rolled his eyes and was going to bid a high price when a voice sounded from the VIP room in front of theirs.

"400 Golds. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Bai Chen from the Seven Stars Sect. As everyone knows about my sect and our love for Weapon Forging, I hope you give us some fact and let us have the Spirit Core."

The Auction Hall turned silent as everyone just looked at the VIP room of Bai Chen. They shook their head and backed away from the bidding. What Bai Chen did wasn't a request but a threat in politeness. He had practically said that anyone would have to face the Seven Stars Sect if they stood against them.

Everyone already knew about that strength and connections of Seven Stars Sect so they backed away. They didn't want to offend an almost Tier 2 sect.

Bai Chen smirked seeing that nobody was bidding. He settled himself on his sofa, very sure that the Spirit Core would be his. It was always like this.

Zhou Zun's faced turned ugly but he quickly his it. He obviously didn't like how Bai Chen handled things, but he couldn't do much. Offending the Seven Stars Sect for a spirit core wasn't worth it, if not he also wasn't afraid of Seven Stars Sect.

He sighed and was going to announce that the Spirit Core had been bought by Bai Chen but voice resounded from the VIP room 3.

"500 Golds."

Shen Yu chuckled seeing Bai Chen's face which was contorted into an expression of rage. He was gritting his teeth, looking at their VIP room, recognising Shen Yu's voice.

Ying Yue and Lan Ming also chuckled as Ying Yue spoke.

"Master is really evil. You could have bid right after Bai Chen finished his nonsense but you waited till the last moment."

"Hehe, the best time to strike your enemies isn't when they are at their lowest but when they are happy, hopeful and thinking they have a great future. That's the moment when you turn their world upside down, turn their happiness into pure terror and horror."

Lan Ming and Ying Yue gasped as they felt their cultivation base stir upon hearing Shen Yu's words. Their Qi automatically flooded their body from their Dantian as they felt it getting purer and purer. It was a miraculous things and they couldn't believe it was happening to them.

Both of them didn't speak for some time as they just looked at each other, only to find the same shock in their eyes. They formed a sort of understanding and nodded. Taking a deep breath, they focused on the Auction, while thinking about what had happened.

'Master Shen is definitely from the World beyond Hollow Mountains. Such a being is definitely not from this small Qing Empire. Just by sitting casually, he can recite Heavenly Mantras. I didn't even understand what he said and my Cultivation Base is already rising, even my Qi getting purer. I need to inform about him to Sect Master, we can't offend him. We need to be in his good terms.'

She then remembered the strange gleam in Shen Yu's eyes when he talked about joining Annual Sect Tournaments. Her eyes widen in realisation.

'No! He won't participate for experience. His plan is to stand at the top. No! I'm definitely messing this up. That's right! I can't guess what goes through the minds of such immortal beings. But one thing is for certain, his sect is going to turn the whole Qing Empire upside down.'

She smiled and thought.

'And I'll make sure I'm on the side which is facing upwards and not getting buried in ground. I hope the problem in sect is solved so we can do more things.'

Shen Yu didn't notice anything that had happened and simply continued to tease Bai Chen who was increasing price in anger. He had even asked if Shen Yu was willing to back away for Seven Stars Sect and obviously Shen Yu couldn't care less about that tiny sect.

In the end, Bai Chen had to give up as the Spirit Core was no longer worth the high price Shen Yu had offered. Crowd was constantly chattering about the compitition between Shen Yu and Bai Chen but most of them were sneering in contempt and disdain. They were already thinking of the ways Shen Yu would die in hands of Bai Chen.

Zhou Zun was the most happy as he rubbed his hand in happiness. He had never thought that a rank 3 Spirit Core would actually sell for whole 800 Golds. That was a ridiculous price.

He was smiling from ear to ear as he looked at Bai Chen's room in hope. When he noticed that Bai Chen wasn't bidding anymore, he sighed and announced that Room 3 had bought the Spirit Core in 800 Gold.

Bai Chen in his room had a serious expression on his face as he looked at the VIP room in front of theirs. He had never imagined that someone would actually stand against his sect. He clicked his tongue in irritation and drank a cup of wine. However, he had also calmed down to think matters logically.

'That guy is likely a son of some wealthy man, that's why he is spending so much while being a mortal. As for that beauty beside him, she must be a slave he bought. What a trash!'

He held Shen Yu in utter contempt. Although he was a lustful man, he had never forced himself upon a girl.... physically, much less a slave.

And he hated the fact that Shen Yu was actually keeping a beauty as a slave and most likely forcing himself upon her. After all, the slave wouldn't be able to fight back.

'He really has some guts to actually go against me while being a mortal. Heh! Just you wait. You're safe for now because I don't want to offend Miss Lan but I'll definitely skew you alive one day.'
