Chapter 1878: Chapter 851: Finally Meeting Ouyang
Although the curse is indeed very dangerous, if it can be used as a trump card, then the situation would be entirely different, transforming into a superb deadly weapon!
Therefore, for a moment, many people were swayed.
Sealed curses represent a certain degree of safety; when needed, the seal can be broken and applied to the enemy.
This theory is sound, and the auction also provides a method to unseal it, which will be delivered to the buyer after the auction.
Everything seems to be fine, until…
Fang Yu suddenly noticed that the storyteller couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
That brief action gave Fang Yu a strong sense of déjà vu.
Luo Jianqing, when he was cursed and shed black tears, often rubbed his eyes due to discomfort.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
This so-called seal is clearly unsafe; even the host seems to be affected, let alone the buyer…
If it weren’t necessary to stay here, Fang Yu would have wanted to run away, as far from this auction as possible.
“Eight thousand taels!”
“Nine thousand taels!”
This time, the bidding was surprisingly sluggish.
It’s like dropping from a high point to a low point.
This isn’t hard to understand; who dares to easily provoke things related to curses?
So, no matter how eloquently the storyteller spoke, few were willing to bid.
Fang Yu gave Ding Hui a look.
After all, having known each other for a while, giving Luo Jianqing a chance to rest in peace is considered a kind gesture.
“If my husband desires it, how can I refuse?”
Ding Hui’s voice directly echoed in Fang Yu’s mind.
This made Fang Yu’s heart skip a beat.
He almost forgot that Ding Hui is quite interested in curses.
Their acquaintance was precisely because of the name ’curse’.
However, the curse on Luo Jianqing is still quite dangerous, and Fang Yu doesn’t intend to let Ding Hui get involved.
“Twenty thousand taels!”
Ding Hui made a move, directly raising the price to a new height.
Those slowly adding by hundreds or thousands watched as the price jumped from ten thousand taels to twenty thousand taels, with someone from the second floor making a move, instantly quelling many intentions to compete.
But scattered, some people still bid, although the increments were much smaller, adding by a few hundred taels.
“Twenty-five thousand taels!”
Ding Hui raised the bid again, seemingly determined to crush all competitors.
A mere cursed head, the price reached a height of twenty-five thousand taels, completely eliminating competition.
Fang Yu even felt the price was excessively high, that Ding Hui was being reckless.
“Twenty-five thousand taels once! Twenty-five thousand taels twice! Twenty-five thousand taels…”
“Thirty thousand taels!”
“Guest 2125 has bid thirty thousand taels! Will guest 2124 follow the bid? Do you need to follow the bid? The opponent seems menacing, clearly… Good! Raised it! Thirty-one thousand taels once!”
In the room, Fang Yu, baffled, looked at Bi Ziyu.
Ding Hui also looked over in confusion.
What… does this mean?
Indeed, this time the bid was not by them but was raised by Bi Ziyu.
What happened to not competing?
Fang Yu was puzzled, and Ding Hui shook his head at Fang Yu.
In fact, at thirty thousand taels, it already exceeded their budget a bit, as they needed to save money to buy materials to reshape their second sister’s body.
To help Luo Jianqing rest in peace was an act of friendship; if it couldn’t be done, that was also understandable.
“Don’t worry, if I win the item, it’s still for both of you.”
Bi Ziyu smiled at the two.
Seemingly noticing Fang Yu and Ding Hui’s confusion, Bi Ziyu continued: “You two might not know who is staying in room 2125; it’s my old rival, someone from the Shi Family. They hadn’t made a move, but now they have, and it’s aimed at my box, so I have no reason to let them off easily!”
Shi Family?
Fang Yu and Ding Hui exchanged glances; they were unfamiliar with the Shi Family.
But judging from Bi Ziyu’s words, it seems the two families have some grievances.
It’s like people of the same level only competing with those of the same level; if the gap is too large, there won’t be contact, whether the gap is upward or downward.
So, this Shi Family probably has similar strong family resources like the Bi Family.
“Fifty thousand taels!”
“Fifty-five thousand taels!”
The two families bid continuously, the price climbing rapidly, leaving those below dumbfounded.
That is… just a head, a cursed head only!
To put it nicely, it can be used for mutual destruction; to put it badly, most people wouldn’t even want to keep it, fearing the curse might leak and annihilate the family.
Yet this fierce bidding seems to indicate that perhaps this is… something valuable? Worth fighting red-faced over, with prices skyrocketing between the two families upstairs.
“Could it be… that this curse is very exceptional?”
“Should we try bidding as well?”
Although Fang Yu refers to the people on the first floor as small fry, some actually had money and were waiting for valuable items.
Hence, they actually had money, but once they bid on one item, they couldn’t afford another.
But soon, they abandoned the thought.
Because…
“Seventy thousand taels once! Seventy thousand taels twice! Seventy-three thousand taels once! Seventy…
The price had risen to an absurdly high level.
At this moment, even Fang Yu couldn’t stand it.
He couldn’t help but whisper to Bi Ziyu.
“Lord Bi, this item… ought not to be auctioned.”
