My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 27: The Soul of a Vicious Beast

After Xiao Zi Ang announced his bid, everyone in the private room casted their gaze to Lou Mu Yan.

Seeing Lou Mu Yans determined, thoughtful gaze, Yun Lan lowered his gaze, then looked up and asked: Mu Yan likes this cauldron?

Yep! Lou Mu Yan nodded and hid the emotions in her eyes.

Then Ill buy it and gift it to you. He never seemed to have gifted Lou Mu Yan anything, and since it was rare that she wanted something other than Chi Yi Xuan, he decided to buy it for her.

Lou Mu Yans eyes revealed slight surpriseshe didnt think her cousin would be this generous, but seeing sincerity, she made a decision in her heart. Sure! Then I wont be polite.

Three million six hundred thousand. Yun Lan nodded with a smile and joined the bid.

Four million. Someone in the next room called.

Xiao Zi Ang glared at Yun Lan: Trust you to discard your humanity for the opposite sex¹.

I remember that your Master gifted you a cauldron thats higher in grade than this one. Yun Lan raised his eyebrows, Dont think I dont know your hobby of collecting cauldrons. This cauldron is more important to Mu Yan, so naturally Ill choose her first.

Howd you know this cauldron is more important to her? Xiao Zi Ang rolled his eyes. She only just managed to eradicate her Terminal Meridians constitution. Dont tell me she became an Alchemist in such a short amount of time.

I believe in my cousin. Yun Lan played with the teacup in his hand and continued to bid: Four million five hundred thousand.

Xiao Zi Ang held his forehead. He didnt have a strong desire for this cauldron and did indeed only want to buy it for his collection. After all, this was a cauldron once used by that particular high-level Alchemist. But seeing that Yun Lan definitely wouldnt stop until he bought the cauldron, he also gave up.

Lou Mu Yan. Xiao Zi Ang tapped Lou Mu Yans arm with a look of a childs curiosity, As long as you tell me how you eradicated your Terminal Meridians constitution, then I wont bid against you, how about that?

Lou Mu Yan looked at him in amusement, Its not like Im paying for it, do whatever you want. She already caught Xiao Zi Angs expression that revealed he wanted to give up the bidding, but now he wanted to elicit an answer from her? He was too young.

You Xiao Zi Ang choked, then pouted in annoyance, but he still stopped bidding.

Five million. The person in the next room called out another figure.

Five million five hundred thousand. Yun Lan continued to increase the price, his expression unchanged.

Six million. The other party continued.

Yun Luo knew that Yun Lan still wanted to buy other things today, and he probably only brought around twenty million ink-gold coins. If he used a third of it or even more for this cauldron, it was possible he would miss the other things he wanted.

He couldnt help but remind him: This price already exceeded the value of the cauldron, I think thats enough.

Yun Lan did want to buy other things, but he was one to keep his promises, so he wouldnt lose Lou Mu Yans faith. If he missed the item he wanted, then it only meant they werent fated. No need, he probably reached his baseline now.

Six million one hundred thousand. Yun Lan increased the price.

As Yun Lan expected, the person in the private room next to them stopped bidding after hearing the price.

Lou Mu Yan felt warm seeing Yun Lan continue to bid for the cauldron without hesitation.

In fact, she could see that Yun Lan did doubt her purpose of buying the cauldron, but he still supported her unconditionally. Regardless of why he trusted her, she would acknowledge this cousin.

Seeing Lou Mu Yans ecstatic appearance, Yun Luo sighed inwardly. He thought that she had changed, but he was afraid she probably only wanted to buy this cauldron to attract Chi Yi Xuans attention.

Gu Yan Ran and Zeng Rou exchanged looks and saw jealousy in each others eyes. Why did this trash have this much luck? She didnt have money and yet she still had someone rush to help her. Why?

However the two soon summed it up to familyafter all, the Empress loved the trash dearly, so it made sense that the Third Prince would be this generous to Lou Mu Yan.

Although Yun Xin was surprised why her third brother, who was kind on the surface but cold on the inside, would regard Lou Mu Yan so favourably, but she still kept the gentle smile on her face as she did from the beginning.

Chi Yi Xuan frowned and glanced at Lou Mu Yan in disapproval. It seemed she returned to her nature, still so wilful.

Yun Jin simply had the mentality to watch a good show. He felt that Lou Mu Yan would shock them once again.

After a few more items were auctioned off, some people in their private room began to bid as well. Chi Yi Xuan, Yun Luo and the Seventh Princess each took one item, and the price reached over ten million ink-gold coins each.

Another few auctions later, Ni Jun took a palm-sized shield from his attendant and his eyes unconsciously revealed some excitement, This shield was created by the Great Master Yan and is a Peak-Quality Spirit Tool.

[WOW!!] An uproar stirred from the people below when they heard Great Master Yans name.

Who was Great Master Yan? He was one of Tianling Continents greatest high-level Smiths, and once refined a Saint Treasure that even Sword Sovereign Stage experts vied for in bloody battles.

But it was unfortunate that after Great Master Yan entered a Secret Realm, he never returned. Whether he was alive or dead was uncertain, but many guessed that he was probably dead, which was a pity.

Lou Mu Yan didnt pay attention to the excitement of the people around her. She focused her attention on the small yellow shield.

Theres something suspicious! That was her first feeling, so she spread her Spiritual Sense and tentatively slipped into the shield.

The moment she touched the small shield, a roar from a Vicious Beast entered her brain and confronted her Spiritual Sense. If it werent that her Mental Energy was very strong, this sound would definitely cause an internal injury.

Ni Jun gestured for everyone to silence, and the people in the audience immediately hushed, all staring at the palm-sized shield fervently.

Since this shield was made by Great Master Yan, then its value should belong in the category of the finale items, right? To auction it now, does it possibly have any defects? A hoarse, aged voice questioned from a private room opposite Lou Mu Yan and her companys.

Its that Sword Monarch expert. Yun Xin couldnt help but say. That was the private room she was in before.

As expected from a professional auctioneer, Ni Jun not only didnt feel any dissatisfaction from their questioning, but also took the opportunity to say what he originally wanted to say.

This distinguished guest is right. Although this shield is a Peak-Quality Spirit Tool created by Great Master Yan, but it does have a defect, and its that you couldnt use your Elemental Energy to control its size and confront the enemy.

While Ni Jun spoke, he channelled some of his Elemental Energy into the small shield. It spun around in his hand, then a yellow light instantly enveloped the shield. Just when everyone waited for it to display its power, there was no longer any reactions.

This shield has also been tried by several Sword King Appraisers from our Ming Alliance of Merchants, but it was the same response as this. Ni Jun retrieved his Elemental Energy, and the shield returned its original appearance, Therefore, several Appraisers from our Ming Alliance of Merchants agreed that it was only suitable for a fated person. If that person could control this shield, then its defence could definitely withstand one blow from a Sword Monarch expert.

Lou Mu Yans lips curled slightly. Suitable for a fated person? Those Sword King Appraisers probably didnt even discover the Soul of a Vicious Beast hidden within the small shield.
