Chapter 102: Behind the Scenes
The auction continues.
Wen Bin continued to sleep......
He clasped his hands, hung his head, closed his eyes, and the whole person was motionless, as if he had reached the realm.
Completely ignoring how many people next to him were holding what kind of 'colored' eyes, from time to time pondered him from various angles on the scene.
Life is in the world, it is hard enough to live, and if you still have to care about this and that, wouldn't you be tired to death?
Sometimes, it's not necessarily a bad thing to do what you want.
The kind and elegant beauty host on the auction table glanced over worriedly from time to time.
Wen Bin was unaware.
Mu Changkun, the city lord sitting in the front row, has been secretly praying in his heart: Sleep, sleep, sleep until the end of the auction, you are still sleeping, then it would be the best~
Now, for this purpose, even if he were to go over and take off his coat and put it on the boy, he would be one hundred and twenty willing (the typical 'weasel greetings the chicken'...... )!
Wen Bin was indifferent.
Hanfei's eyes widened angrily, her eyes were as wide as copper bells, they were about to burst, her eyes were burning with anger, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and she had an expression of wanting to pounce and bite people.
Wen Bin continued to sleep.
Until......
"So, congratulations to this gentleman for winning the ownership of the 'Blue Fire Rib', next, please look this way," Kiki's gentle and agile voice with a smile clearly spread through every corner of the entire auction hall: "The next auction is the highlight of our auction today - 'Northern Lights Snow Witch's Eye'!"
Here it comes.
Wen Bin didn't move, still looking drowsy, lazy and loose, but at this moment, his tightly closed eyes had quietly opened a gap, and there was a shrewd and wise light in his eyes.
The corners of the mouth, inadvertently, hook up a pleasant arc.
...... Fortunately, he was beating his head at this time, otherwise, if his appearance was to be seen by others, he would definitely be frightened and wary.
Because it's so 'vixen'!
No one noticed, though.
All the guests at the scene, including those crooked melons and cracked dates, sleepy, and even Han Fei, who had no interest in this auction at all, couldn't help but sit up straight and look at the host with a pair of eyes eagerly.
Oh no, to be precise, looking at the tray held in the hand by Kiki Xiaoyue's assistant who was the host of this auction, the 'Northern Lights: Snow Witch's Eye', which was suspended in the air in an otherworldly manner without the help of any external force, and condensed such brilliant and colorful ice crystals!
Legend has it that it can instantly condense the flames that spin and jump into fossil treasures!
"This is the Northern Lights, Snow Witch's Eye?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Just sitting here, I feel the chill in my bones!"
"Sure enough, it's better to see than to hear!"
"I thought that only masters who had cultivated to reach the 'Heavenly Immortal Realm' or the 'Demon Realm' would be able to float in the air as they wanted without the help of any external force, just by relying on their own supernatural cultivation, but I didn't expect that it could also be!"
"It's really amazing~"
"It's so beautiful, it's really a treasure bred by the aura of heaven and earth!"
"yes!"
“......”
Everyone turned their heads to each other, and at the beginning of seeing the 'Northern Lights Snow Witch's Eye' wrapped in colorful ice crystals, like a shy veiled Loulan bride, they couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.
The 'Northern Lights: Snow Witch's Eye' is so famous all over the world that it is known to almost everyone.
But very few people have seen it with their own eyes.
The reason for this is that it is still too rare.
The reason why this is so, in addition to its own 'rare treasure', is also because it has a beautiful legend that is well-known:
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a young and handsome prince, His Royal Highness, one day, while hunting in the ice and snow, he was injured by the ferocious horned bear, and when he was in danger, he was rescued by the Snow Maiden who happened to pass nearby and took him to her ice crystal castle to recuperate (one of the hard wounds in the story: since this guy is noble as 'His Royal Highness the Prince', what about the servants around him? Are all those people dead without exception?).
In the process of recuperating from the prince's injuries in the castle of the Snow Maiden, the two fell in love for a long time and gradually became inseparable (story hard wound 2: the plot is old-fashioned).
Later, when the prince's injuries gradually healed and he had to leave the Snow Maiden for a while and return to his kingdom, he gave the Snow Maiden the jeweled ring he was wearing to show his heart.
Originally, he wanted to show his parents after going back, and then marry the Snow Girl home, but after returning to his kingdom, he found that his father and queen mother had set a political marriage for him and the princess of a prosperous and powerful neighboring country for the sake of the country.
asked him to hold a wedding with a princess of a neighboring country who he did not know for political reasons.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who now has a belonging, resisted angrily, and resolutely ran away from home amid his father's scolding and his mother's sorrow.
Unsurprisingly, he returned to the beautiful ice crystal castle where the Snow Maiden was.
He promised to love her forever and was willing to live with her for the rest of his life.
The Snow Maiden first comforted him with kind words, and then let him stay.
Soon after, she carried him on a trip to a neighboring country, and overheard the lament of the princess of the neighboring country alone in the back garden of the palace:
Although you have never seen me, I saw you on the way back from apprenticeship half a year ago, and I saw you helping civilians, helping the weak and peaceful, and seeing you riding on top of the mighty and tall flame-spotted tiger, smiling as bright as the sun, and indescribably chic and handsome in your gestures.
I was looking at you in the crowd, my cheeks were crimson, my fever was hot, and my heart was beating and pounding......
Later, until I returned home, I still admired you day and night, and I had your shadow in my mind, and I wanted to see you again (story 3: This princess is a typical 'nymphomaniac' type, haven't you ever seen a man?).
I thought about you day and night, but I couldn't see you, and I was depressed, and soon I fell ill.
Later, when the queen mother asked me why, I couldn't stand her gentle coaxing, so I cried out the pain in my heart, which was just a temporary vent...... It didn't take long for them to find out that they had proposed marriage to you in order to make my illness better.
Knowing this, I was ashamed and happy, and when I was at a loss, I suddenly heard the news that you had run away from home from a neighboring country......
And because of this, my father and queen mother became angry with your country, believing that your country's unilateral repentance of marriage was an act of contempt for our country's prestige, and that it would start a large-scale war because of this......
Alas, it's all my fault!
What should we do now?
When the Snow Maiden heard the princess's exclamation, she felt that this girl really loved Her Royal Highness the Prince, and she knew the righteousness, so in order to avoid an unwarranted disaster, she resolutely appeared, told Her Royal Highness the princess about the matter between herself and Her Royal Highness the Prince, and asked her to give her three months, not to start a war without waste money for the time being, and she would give her an explanation.
Her Royal Highness the Princess agreed.
After the Snow Girl went back, she still fell in love with Her Royal Highness the Prince, and got along harmoniously, and in the course of three months, day by day, she continued to change her personality and appearance according to the mold of Her Royal Highness the Princess, changing a little bit every day, so that Her Royal Highness the Prince was not easy to notice.
In the end, she told him that in fact, I am the princess of a neighboring country, and I asked my father to propose marriage to your country.
And ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go back quickly, and stop running away from this marriage 'between us'!"
His Royal Highness believed it, and rode back that night on a fast horse.
Then, the Snow Girl went to the dormitory of Her Royal Highness the princess of the neighboring country and told her about this.
Her Royal Highness was astonished and asked her, "Why did you do this?"
The Snow Maiden looked at her sadly, but smiled beautifully: "Because I am a 'witch'! After being with His Royal Highness the Prince for a long time, not only his person, but also his heart, will be frozen."
At that time, he will gradually lose his life and eventually die a sad death in despair and pain.
I don't want that to happen.
I love him dearly, and I don't want him to be hurt in any way, so I ask you, princess, to love him well and well instead of me.
Forever......
At this, the Snow Maiden was left in tears.
For her, the result of giving her love but not getting it in return is self-dissolving.
As if evaporating, she gradually turned into a pool of crystal snow in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Bite!
When the Snow Maiden was completely melted, the ring given to her by His Royal Highness the Prince, which she wore on the ring finger of her right hand, fell to the ground.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was deeply moved by this and decided to carry on her legacy and dedicate her life to cherishing Her Royal Highness the Prince.
When she picked up the ring that had fallen to the ground and put it on the ring finger of her right hand, a miracle happened, and the ring, which had been just an ordinary gemstone, suddenly became crystal brilliant and extraordinary, as beautiful as the sad and sincere eyes of the Snow Maiden.
At that moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess shed tears.
At the end of the story, of course, the prince and the princess tie the knot, and the two countries not only avoid a large-scale war that costs people and money, but also conclude a friendly covenant for the next generation, which will be passed on for generations to come.
And the prosperity of this qiē is the result of the generosity of an unknown Snow Maiden behind the scenes, who is still alive and will always be remembered by history.
......
This legend, although I don't know which made up the story in ancient times, but it is indeed very beautiful, and it is very tragic like those ancient legends that can be passed down through the ages, so that it has been spread in the worlds and continues to this day.
At the same time, the 'Northern Lights: Snow Witch's Eye' was a magnificent reason for the world to be treasured, and its value increased dramatically.
