Chapter 2213: A Venomous Tongue

00 yuan is what Xiaoye got. We can't take it. We must return it to them as soon as possible."Although she was just an ordinary working woman, she was very sensible and knew that without Ye Bufan, not..."You...you...you just wait for me!"

Dugu Hong was furious, with nowhere to vent her anger. She raised the sign in her hand and shouted, "I bid 8,000 pieces of high-grade spirit stones!"

Everyone present was taken aback, the price doubled all of a sudden, which was especially shocking considering it was already ridiculously high before.

Dugu Hong gritted her teeth and said, "Boy, if you have the guts, add more!"

"Why should I add it I'm not even going to keep it."

Ye Bufan shook his head, looking at her as if she were an idiot and said, "I'm so handsome, I don't need any beauty pills at all."

"I was just kidding around when I kept shouting the price."

Those around were in a state of confusion. This guy was prepared to offend the Laiyang Royal Manor to death, wasn't he

Only the middle-aged manager standing beside him was smiling brightly, his heart already blooming with joy.

At this moment, Ye Bufan was like a money-making fairy in his eyes, making his auction earn nearly 10,000 high-grade spirit stones more than usual.

To put things in perspective, that's a truly astronomical sum. Sometimes, even an entire auction can't bring in that much money.

"You... you..."

Dugu Hong had never suffered such humiliation before. She was so angry that her whole body trembled.

"Alright, stop yelling. Even if you take this pill, it won't change anything about how you look."

It's okay that you're not conventionally attractive, but it's wrong to scare people when you go out!

"You'd best just stay here in the palace from now on. Don't go out unless you have to, you wouldn't want to scare the children."

"Damn, this guy's mouth is so poisonous!"

"He's so mean, this guy is just too much. Even someone with a good temper wouldn't be able to stand it..."

"I've lived for so many years and never seen someone so vicious. To dare speak ill of Princess Laiyang, the steward's good days are over..."

Hearing the murmurings around her, Dugu Hong was almost driven mad.

"Kill you, bastard! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you! I'll wipe out your entire family!"

She was truly furious. As a member of the royal bloodline and the current princess, to be publicly humiliated like this was unbearable.

"Come on then, who's afraid of you If you don't come, you're my granddaughter!"

"Speaking of which, Ye Bufan shook his head again, looking disgusted. "Forget it, even if I were with Potato, we couldn't give birth to a granddaughter as ugly as you."

"Pffft..."

Everyone around felt like they were about to vomit. This guy was brutal.

The man beside him was already trembling with fear, his legs weak.

He couldn't understand how their young master could suddenly go mad and offend the Leyang Royal Mansion to death.

Though Chery was previously arrogant and domineering, they always bullied the weak and oppressed ordinary people.

To be treated with such smiles and deference by those of noble birth is something I've always known, but to see them act in this manner now...

"Alright, alright, everyone keep it down. Any grievances can wait until after the auction!"

The middle-aged manager stepped forward again to dissuade him, saying that no matter what, he couldn't delay his own money-making scheme.

Dugu Hong, under everyone's dissuasion, barely suppressed the anger in her heart and sat back down angrily.

Ye Bufan, however, was completely unfazed. He still wore a smile that could kill on his face.

The auction continued, the auctioneer slammed his gavel, and a maid presented the Beauty Pill to Dugu Hong.

Then, the fourth item up for auction drew much attention as two burly men carried it onto the stage in an iron box.

Although this thing is sealed by an array, you can still feel the scorching heat it emits.

The iron chest was placed on the stage, and as the auctioneer lifted the lid, a wave of scorching heat washed over them.

Ye Bufan used his divine sense to scan it, confirming that it was a genuine Dragon-Absorbing Stone. He was instantly overjoyed.

Although a storm was raging inside, she maintained an air of composure on the surface, concealing her true emotions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, this is our fourth auction item today: the Fire Stone."

This is a good thing for refining fire-attribute magic weapons. The starting price is one hundred high-grade spirit stones, and each increase or decrease is not less than ten. Now the auction begins...

Obviously, the appraisers at Ju Baoge also missed the mark, failing to see the true value of this stone and treating it as an ordinary firestone.

And the auctioneer didn't pay much attention either, just giving a few hasty introductions before beginning the auction.

Ye Bufan observed the dragon-absorbing stone before him. It must have come from a fire dragon, which is why it had such a strong fiery aura. This very aura concealed the faint trace of dragon qi deep within the stone.

But no matter what, this is priceless. Once some people know about it, a bloodbath will surely ensue.

Anything related to dragons holds immense appeal for cultivators.

"One hundred and ten top-grade spirit stones..."

"One hundred and twenty pieces of top-grade spirit stones..."

“One hundred forty pieces of top-grade spirit stones……”

Ye Bufan knew the value of this piece of dragon-absorbing stone, but these rich young masters in front of him didn't.

Even with little enthusiasm, there were only a few bids that increased the price by a small amount.

After all, Fire Stones are not very useful to them, far less enticing than the few items before.

As fewer and fewer people bid, the last bid remained at one hundred eighty pieces of high-grade spirit stones.

This man's name is Ma Shi, and he is also a well-known rich young master in the imperial city.

Seeing that he could wait no longer, Ye Bufan raised the number plate in his hand: "I bid two hundred high-grade spirit stones."

"This guy's crazy, he wants to give everyone a lift, no matter who they are"

Ma Shi cursed inwardly. In his opinion, Ye Bufan was a troublemaker. No matter who auctioned anything, he would come out and stir up the pot, driving up the price without buying it himself.

He thought so, but he had seen the other party's methods before. Their demands were outrageous, often thousands of high-grade spirit stones, which he simply couldn't afford. He immediately retracted his words.

And this guy's mouth is incredibly venomous. Once he starts bidding against you, who knows what he might say

The others thought the same way, and when they saw Ma Shi put down his license plate, no one else interfered.

Yuan Qi Hang was full of resentment. He had been tricked by the other party before, and now he wanted to get back at them. There's no way he would just let 200 spirit stones be taken away so easily.

Before he could even raise the good cards in his hand, a servant beside him immediately stopped him.

"Master, we can't add any more. We only have one hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones left."

"Uh..."

Yuan Qihang was also speechless. He really had been driven mad by anger. Before, he had recklessly spent four thousand high-grade spirit stones on a sword, leaving him short of funds now.

As no one else bid, the auctioneer confirmed three times before lowering the hammer.

In the end, Ye Bufan bought this priceless Dragon-Sucking Stone for 200 high-grade spirit stones.

When the two burly men brought over the Dragon-Sucking Stone, he directly paid and put it into his storage ring. Then, without hesitation, he got up and left the marketplace.

"Uh..."

Although the auction did not restrict guests' personal freedom, people generally stayed until the end since they came. No one expected him to buy a stone and leave immediately.

"What's this guy up to Is he scared and trying to leave early"

"I agree. We've stirred up so much trouble, including the Princess of Laiyang. There won't be any good results waiting for us later. The best strategy is to make a strategic retreat!"

"Now I remember to leave, what was I doing earlier I think it's too late..."

Ye Bufan's departure immediately caused a flurry of discussion among the crowd, who whispered and speculated about the reasons for his leaving.

Lady Laiyang, Gong Yuming, and Yuan Qihang were stunned for a moment, then without any hesitation, they got up and followed out. They had to settle this score today no matter what.idn't know which noble figure was Chinese, and he had never heard of Mr. Ye's name.The little guy suddenly remembered something and said nervously, "Brother, we seem to have offended a big shot just n...
