Chapter Fifty-Eight: The God of Flowers
"This Ling Chen is very arrogant."
A young handsome man in a blue robe looked at Ling Chen below, he listened to the ruthless conversation between Xiao Muyu and Ying just now, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ling Chen's attitude.
This young Junjie, named Li Tai, is a well-known young talent in this royal capital, and the eldest prince, as well as the young Junjie named "Zhou Heng" at the same table as them, are all members of the "Ten Masters of the Royal Capital".
"It's the first day of the famous martial arts, how can you not be a little arrogant. Besides, he is still not the fiancΓ© of Xu Ruoyan's young palace master. β
The eldest prince still has that signature smile on his face.
"It's a good thing to be arrogant, but you also have to have a degree, if you lack polish when you're young, it's easy to go astray in the future."
Zhou Heng was a young man with a cold face, and there was a trace of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Ling Chen.
Xu Ruoyan naturally understands Ling Chen's talent, if it is really a cultivation talent, the "Ten Masters of the Royal Capital" is afraid that it is really not comparable to him.
Of course, she can't say this kind of thing directly.
"Although Ling Chen's strength is not strong, his talent is very high, and there are very few people in the entire Five Kingdoms who can compare to him. Now that he has advanced to the realm of martial artists, if he can maintain such a terrifying cultivation speed, he is far from being among the heavenly rankings. β
Xu Ruoyan smiled, that smile was intoxicating.
In just a few months, he has gone from a state of being cultivated to a state of being abolished to the point where he is now a martial artist of the First Heavy Realm, a speed that has never been seen in his life.
It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to praise Ling Chen, but she herself was indeed very amazed by this cultivation speed.
"Really?"
When these words came out, Li Tai and Zhou Heng frowned almost at the same time, revealing a look of displeasure.
"Since Miss Xu has praised this Ling Chen to the sky, then later, I will have to have a good discussion with this genius young man."
A cold glint flashed in Li Tai's eyes.
"Looks like you're getting that guy in trouble."
Xu Ruoyan frowned secretly, but then she was relieved, she glanced at Ling Chen from a distance, and there was a slight sense of deserving in her eyes, "Whoever makes you always offend this girl, let you suffer a little." β
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Ruoyan was also a lot more relieved, besides, Ling Chen was able to kill so many masters in the hunting ground, this guy's potential is unlimited, and this Li Tai has a fight, it is not certain who wins and who loses.
Ling Chen's combat effectiveness was undoubtedly seriously underestimated by these people, after all, no one believed that the three powerful black-clothed killers died in Ling Chen's hands, but she was convinced of it.
The banquet lasted for half an hour, and after three rounds of drinking, the banquet gradually entered the main stage.
Although Ling Chen didn't take the initiative to meet people at other tables, there were many people who came to toast, and he could be regarded as knowing some people.
What's more, they also have Xiao Muyu, who ranks first in autumn hunting, and she is a big beauty herself, which inevitably attracts many dignitaries to take the initiative to stammer.
However, in the middle of the banquet, the atmosphere gradually cooled down.
"The highlight of this banquet is about to begin."
Dai Chao felt the change in the atmosphere around him, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"What's the highlight?"
Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu looked at Dai Chao with some curiosity.
"It's the ten virgin beauties."
Dai Chao pointed to the ten beauties dancing in the scene, and then said: "I just said, these ten beauties are specially trained to be used for this banquet, and later, they will be auctioned off by Cuiyu Lou at a high price to the guests present." β
"This Cuiyulou is such a bastard, these women are so pitiful."
Xiao Muyuyu's hand slapped on the table fiercely, a little indignant.
"Not necessarily."
Dai Chao shook his head, "These girls are all selected from various small places, if it weren't for Cuiyulou, they wouldn't have been able to enjoy the current glorious and rich life, and this kind of treatment sought after by tens of thousands of people, from another point of view, compared to their ordinary and poor life, this is not a change of fate." β
"What Senior Brother Dai said also makes sense,"
Ling Chen did not deny what Dai Chao said, and then changed his words, "But it can't be said that everything is right, compared to being a rich man's hands for everything, I think it's better to be a free ordinary person." β
Destiny can only be regarded as a complete destiny if it is in your own hands.
However, many people don't seem to understand this simple truth.
As soon as Ling Chen's words fell, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was already hot.
"The bidding has begun."
Dai Chao's gaze turned to the middle of the venue.
Under the instigation of several rounds of instigation by a mature woman dressed in hot clothes, the bidding for the ten beauties also began in full swing.
In just a blink of an eye, ten women were robbed.
Even the one with the lowest price also sold 10,000 taels of gold.
And the one with the highest price was auctioned for nearly 50,000 taels of gold.
The people who photographed these women were all dignitaries and nobles in the royal capital, and tens of thousands of taels of gold were not a small amount for them, but they could also be taken out.
"Just relying on ten women can earn three or four hundred thousand taels of gold, this Cuiyu Mansion is really profitable." Ling Chen smiled and shook his head, he didn't expect this great prince to have such a business acumen, although human trafficking is not a glorious thing, but in the Mixed Yuan Continent, this kind of thing is not only found in the country of wind, like the black market, I am afraid that this kind of business is more.
"Yes, when these women bought it, it was estimated that it would be a few hundred taels of silver at most, and after Cuiyulou's training, the price increased by a thousand times." Dai Chao is also a shrewd person, he doesn't know the doorway here, but only with the power of the eldest prince can he run this level of business.
"Next is the bidding of the god of flowers."
Dai Chao's voice came, and Ling Chen also looked at the center of the venue, where a young girl was brought onto the stage.
The god of flowers, is the gimmick made by this Cuiyulou, that is, the most beautiful woman in the entire country of wind, there is only one every year, as long as it can be called the god of flowers, then its appearance must be first-class.
Similarly, the price of the god of flowers is much higher than that of other women.
The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a red ice silk robe, with a slender figure, pink faces, and crystal lips, and she is definitely a beauty embryo that is one in a million.
But what is surprising is that the girl's hair is clearly divided into black and white, half black, and generally white, which is a hair color that has never been seen before.
"Outlander?"
There was also a hint of surprise in Ling Chen's eyes, among the five major countries, he had never heard of a person with this hair color.
Not only the hair color, but also the aura of this girl's body is completely different. Her cultivation is not high, probably only the appearance of the sixfold realm of martial arts.
Although this girl's martial arts cultivation is not high, she is better than her beautiful face and excellent temperament, and many men want to take him for themselves.
And there is a sense of freshness in all of them, a woman with this hair color, almost never seen, is simply a treasure among women.
At first, there were quite a lot of people who shouted the price, but after the price exceeded 100,000 taels of gold, there were very few people who shouted.
One hundred thousand taels of gold, even for the great grandmaster powerhouse, is a huge fortune, which can buy a lot of cultivation resources. No one wants to spend so much gold for a woman. Those dignitaries and nobles buy a woman just for temporary happiness, but 100,000 taels of gold make them feel worthless.
It was none other than the one who bid 100,000 taels, it was that it should be ruthless.
"100,000 taels of gold, just to buy an ordinary woman, the eldest prince, your younger brother is enough to lose." On the platform, Xu Ruoyan said to the eldest prince next to him.
100,000 taels of gold to buy a girl, this has to be said to be a generous shot.
Xu Ruoyan shook his head, this should be ruthless, he is really a drunken person, this kind of person, his achievements are generally not too high.
"My younger brother only has this hobby in his life, 100,000 taels of gold, which should be all his savings." The eldest prince just smiled.
How the fourth child squandered his money has little to do with him, not to mention that this Cuiyu Building is still his property. The fourth child is willing to donate money to him, so why not.
"One hundred thousand taels."
At this time, in the banquet hall, a faint shouting suddenly spread.
