A young man wearing a red robe sat silently on the stage, his facial features giving the impression of looking at a painting: his lips were as red as cherries, his skin as white as snow, and the structure of his face very pleasing to look at. Above his forehead a few strands of red hair carelessly stuck out, matching the bright scarlet color of his eyes. He wore a coquettish expression, looking a little absentminded; combined with his flowery looks, this was enough to make people’s souls leave their bodies, to see this ultimate beauty.

Mo Qingli suddenly stood up, both eyes tightly locked on the man currently on the stage, without moving a single hair’s breadth.

Seeing Mo Qingli’s reaction, Mo Qingyu’s heart sank. Could it be that Mo Qingli had also taken a fancy to him! When Mo Qingyu saw the man appear, she had finally realized that the beauty Tao Yi had talked about was him, who was beautiful to the point of destroying cities. Such a beauty made her heart pound quickly in excitement.

With just a mere glance, there was n.o.body capable of not opening their eyes wide.

Leng Hanling tightly bit his lips, trying to contain the excruciating pain that his body was experiencing right now. Inside his scarlet pupils flashed a thread of resentment. This was all the fault of that d.a.m.ned Mu Tianlang, to harm me to this extent, to think that his magic power was so hard to escape. Or else I wouldn’t have been captured by these imbecilic mortals and end up ogled by a crowd of brainless women.

Suddenly feeling a cold stare directed towards him from his left, Leng Hanling followed the line of sight, until he was staring a gorgeous gold gown that outlined the curves of the woman who wore it. She had a pale and slender face, with two ink-black eyes that continuously stared at him with killing intent.

Leng Hanling’s heart quivered. Upon closer examination of Mo Qingli, her body did not possess any demonic air, but only that of the mediocrity of a mortal. But how come, when he stared at her gaze, he unexpectedly felt that an air of death surrounded him, making him feel an extreme dread.

“These three beautiful courtesans are today’s auction prizes, what does everyone think of them?” Tao Yi stood onto the stage; seeing the women below him stare at the men like hungry tigers and wolves, his heart felt extremely happy. “If everyone thinks that they are excellent, then we will begin the election! Whoever bids the most money will be able to choose one of these three beautiful courtesans, and be given the chance to spend one night with them. One hundred taels of silver is the bottom price, commence the auction.”

Just as Tao Yi’s speech ended, the women below the stage began to buzz with discussion.”

“How come it’s this expensive, starting with one hundred taels?”

“Although their looks aren’t bad, isn’t this too expensive!”

“With this amount of money I could buy at least a dozen good-looking men!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

“Two hundred taels.”

A loud female sound pierced through the chaotic sounds of discussion.

Everybody looked to the source of the sound. A middle aged lady wearing a purple robe, on whose face was piled a great deal of fat, stared with fiery eyes towards the men on the stage, saliva dripping out of her mouth continuously.

“Two hundred fifty taels.”

A woman immediately said afterwards.

“Three hundred taels.” The upper-cla.s.s woman immediately said, while holding a handsome man inside her arms, her face filled with a resolute determination.

“One thousand taels.”

“Hiss~~” Everyone suddenly sucked in a breath of air, everyone turning to look at the woman who had just pledged “One thousand taels.” The woman’s hair was gathered in a bun halfway across her head, a red jade ornament with pearl and gold dangling from it arranged inside her hair, on her neck a pure gold necklace plated with pearl and a black dragon design. She was wearing a cheongsam embroidered with hundreds of gold b.u.t.terflies and flowers, on her face a very grandeur air.

Mo Qingyu relaxed against her chair, raising her gla.s.s of tea and gingerly drinking a mouthful. With a sharp gaze she a.n.a.lyzed the crowd, the corners of her mouth raising slightly. Looks like, the man is mine.

The women had that had been competing before now stared resentfully towards Mo Qingyu, although they could do nothing. She had simply bid too high, leaving them with no choice but to renounce their bids.

Tao Yi, who was currently standing to the side, was filled with a source of neverending joy. This price was not even close to his wildest predictions.

Mo Qingyu’s mouth formed a smile as she glanced toward Tao Yi meaningfully. Tao Yi hurriedly went on the stage, saying, “Is there no one else who will bid higher than a thousand taels? If there is no one, than this beauty’s “first time” will be given to this madam over here!”
