Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Chapter 38  Soul Calming Tree

Back in the Auction House, Shen Yu sat with Lan Ming as they looked at the last item coming on stage. It was nothing special but a small branch of a tree but it emitted a calming aura.

"This is a branch of Soul Calming Tree and I don't think I need to explain about that. Still I'll do it, the Soul Calming Tree is very rare and almost extinct. It emits an aura which calms our soul and emotions and even berserk Qi, which is very important during the times of break through. So, do I still need to say how priceless it is? Hehe, that's why the bidding won't have a base price. Go on and bid to your heart content."

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the small brown coloured tree branch sitting on a red cloth. A smile appeared on his face as he thought.

'It contains not only a calming aura but also has tones of life force. This is like basically the best medicine out there, almost everything will be healed with help of this. Unfortunately these people can't sense that life force, still the calming aura alone is good.'

Shen nodded and decided to buy the branch. He would study it and make a tree of that in his sect. It would be good to have something like that.

The crowd went as crazy as it could and the bidding started and in no time reached outrageous prices. However, the prices were still in gold coins as not everyone was like Shen Yu or Bai Chen who were spending Spirit Stones on just anything.

Soon, the only people who were bidding were the VIPs since the common people couldn't match the outrageous prices they were putting.

"1000 golds!"

"1100 Golds!"

"2 Spirit Stone!"

It was then a sweet feminine voice sounded from the VIP room 5. It was calm as if competing with the calming aura radiated by the branch.

Shen Yu noticed the silence among the other VIP rooms and decided it was time for him to bid.

"3 Spirit Stones!"

"FUCKKKKK! Just how rich is this guy? Even after all this, he still has spirit stones left? Goddamn it!"

The crowd was really shocked to the core by the sheer wealth Shen Yu had shown and were even excited to see who would win if VIP room 5 and VIP room 3 began to compete.

However, their hopes were bound to shatter as the same calming voice sounded from the VIP room 5.

"Fuck off! Don't shout near me otherwise I'll go complete deaf like you."

The crowd was really shocked to the core by the sheer wealth Shen Yu had shown and were even excited to see who would win if VIP room 5 and VIP room 3 began to compete.

However, their hopes were bound to shatter as the same calming voice sounded from the VIP room 5.

"I don't know which Fellow Daoist is in Room 3 but I request you to let us take this branch. It is very important to us and is a matter of life and death of many people. If we don't get it today, many people will die. So I ask you to please let me have it. And if you want, we can even compensate you."

In VIP room 5, two women sat on a sofa, their face anxious and nervous. They had similar faces, indicating that they were twins. One of the had a worried look on her face as she requested to Shen Yu.

She really needed the branch and didn't have many Spirit Stones with her. From what she had seen and noticed, Shen Yu was very rich and could fork out Spirit Stones as if they were nothing.

If he decided to compete with her for the branch, then she was sure she would lose the branch and she couldn't afford that. She needed that branch at all cost.

"Sis, I don't think he'll agree. Haven't you seen how he didn't even give face to Bai Chen. Why do you think he'll agree to our request?"

The other twin shook her head and said. She didn't think Shen Yu would agree because in her opinion, he was an arrogant man with a lot of spirit stones. Someone who didn't even give face to a sect as big as Seven Stars Sect would obviously wouldn't give face to unknown people like him.

However, to her surprise, after a few moments, Shen Yu spoke from his room.

"If that's the case then I'll withdraw. Nothing is more important than someone's life. Please go ahead and buy it. As for compensation, there is no need for that."

The twins were shocked but the elder one sighed in relief while the younger just sat there in daze. Then she asked to her elder sister.

"He agreed? How? How did you know that he would agree?"

"Because I thought he's a kind man. He didn't gave face to Bai Chen because he was saying as if he was giving orders to him. Nobody will like something like that. But he's obviously a kind man, that's why he saved the slave girl. He gave her freedom even though he could have used her as a sex slave."

"It could be a pretense, maybe he would later again Enslave her."

"It doesn't matter. My hypothesis was right and see how we can have that Branch and save ourselves." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The elder sister shook her head and looked gratefully at Shen Yu's room. Even though he didn't ask for any compensation, she decided to repay him. After all, it was a favour for her.

Just like that, she bought the branch and was very happy for that.

In the VIP room 3, Lan Ming looked at Shen Yu and asked.

"You agreed to her because she requested, right?"

"Yeah, I don't have much use of that branch and if what she said is right, which mostly likely is, then she needs it more. Besides, she requested so how can I refuse?"

Shen Yu chuckled, standing up from his sofa. He could create the tree in other ways so he didn't really care if he got the branch or not.

Besides, he could sense the sincerity in her voice so he gave it away. Although he could be cruel if needs, he was someone who valued life a lot so he would save anyone if he could, even if in an indirect way.
