"Haitang's friend …"
Brother Wang glanced at Chu Kuangren, and the hostility in his eyes intensified. Then, he said, "I'm Wang Hang, the Wang family's crown prince. Greetings, Brother Chu. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"You're welcome."
"Brother Chu, the auction is about to begin. Let's find a place to sit first," Tang Haitang said.
Then, she found two seats that leaned against each other.
The two of them sat together, talking and laughing.
Behind them, a venomous gaze landed on the two of them. It was the Wang family's Wang Hang. When the surrounding people saw this, they couldn't help feeling playful.
"Interesting, the daughter of the City Lord seems to be very concerned about this young man. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to him?"
"Heh, that's very possible. With that temperament and appearance, if I were a woman, I would probably be very moved too."
"Indeed …"
"This is going to be fun. The Wang Clan's heir has always been chasing after the City Lord's daughter, but now someone else has beaten him to it. I'm afraid he won't give up so easily. Can this person stop the Wang Clan's revenge?"
"In this Mystic Moon City, aside from the City Lord's Mansion, the Wang Family is the strongest faction. The Wang Family has always wanted to form an alliance with the City Lord's Mansion, so how could they allow others to touch the City Lord's daughter?"
Everyone's thoughts converged and conversed in secret.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren had also noticed the resentful stares coming from behind him.
But he didn't care.
He could talk to whoever he wanted and get close to whoever he wanted. It was all based on his own preferences. When had he ever cared about other people's attitudes?
Furthermore.
He still wanted to analyze Tang Haitang's Immortal Physique, which would be very beneficial to his cultivation.
"Just you wait!"
Wang Hang stared at Chu Kuangren's back and gritted his teeth.
The auction began.
The auctioneer was Elder Li, whom Chu Kuangren had met before.
The first item was a piece of Dao Source that weighed over a hundred kilograms. The starting price was five million kilograms of supreme-grade Spirit Marrow, and it was won by a sect leader of a Dao orthodoxy.
Then, a few more items were auctioned off.
Chu Kuangren had his eyes on a piece of Purple Gold of Heaven and Earth. That piece of Purple Gold was a rare crafting material, so he wanted to buy it and practice on it when he had the time.
"Ten million kilograms of Spiritual Marrow."
Chu Kuangren bid.
"Fifteen million jin of Spiritual Marrow."
A voice rang out. It was Wang Hang, the heir of the Wang family.
"31 million."
"40 million."
The heir of the Wang Clan, Wang Hang, continued to bid.
Oh, it seems like he's going against me.
Chu Kuangren smiled playfully. He did not continue to bid. That piece of purple gold was at most thirty million kilograms of spiritual marrow.
"What's wrong? Brother Chu, if you're not going to continue bidding, then I'll gladly accept this purple gold." Wang Hang smiled provocatively at Chu Kuangren.
"Wang Hang, don't go too far."
Tang Haitang looked at Wang Hang coldly.
Being stared at like this, Wang Hang felt even more upset.
The woman he fancied actually targeted him for another man. This made him angrier than anything else.
"At the auction, whoever has the most Soul Marrow will get the treasures. What's the matter, Brother Chu? Are you planning to use the City Hall's power to suppress me?" Wang Hang looked at Chu Kuangren and sneered.
The more Tang Haitang defended Chu Kuangren, the more he wanted to go against her.
"Brother Chu, if you want that purple gold, but you don't have enough spirit essence, I can help you bid for it first," Tang Haitang said.
Chu Kuangren shook his head. "No need."
In the end, the purple gold fell into Wang Hang's hands. He fiddled with the purple gold and looked at Chu Kuangren with a smug expression.
Chu Kuangren ignored him.
'He's just a clown. '
After that, a few more items were auctioned.
Until …
A black armor was brought up to the stage.
The armor was pitch-black and carved with ferocious beasts. Mysterious Daoist patterns flowed on it, and it emanated an extraordinary aura.
The crowd could not help but breathe heavily when they saw it.
"This, this is a Daoist Weapon!"
"Not only is it a Daoist Weapon, but it's also a top-notch defensive Daoist Weapon. It's one of the rarest treasures below the Heavenly Daoist Weapons."
"This Daoist Weapon is worth at least 1.8 billion spiritual marrow."
The crowd stared at the armor with fiery eyes.
Even the top cultivation forces in the Mystic Moon Ancient City did not have many Daoist Lords. If they could get their hands on this Daoist Weapon, it would definitely be of great benefit to their forces.
"This Daoist Weapon is mine for the Wang family."
Wang Hang said with fiery eyes.
Soon, the auction began.
"1.81 billion."
"1.82 billion."
"1.9 billion."
"1.95 billion …"
"2 billion …"
Not long after, the price of the armor exceeded 2 billion.
"2.2 billion!"
At that moment, Wang Hang spoke.
He stood up, looked around, and said, "This Daoist Weapon is mine for the Wang family. I hope everyone here can give us some face."
He was being polite.
However, everyone knew that it was a threat.
If they continued to bid, they would be going against the Wang family.
In the entire Mystic Moon Ancient City, other than the City Lord's Residence, how many forces would dare to go against the Wang family?
At that moment, the representatives of the forces who wanted to continue bidding could not help but stop. If they continued bidding, they might not be able to compete with the Wang family in terms of financial resources, and they would have to risk offending them.
It was not worth it to do so.
Seeing that, Wang Hang smiled. "Thank you, everyone."
"2.3 billion."
At that moment, Chu Kuangren suddenly spoke.
Wang Hang frowned. "2.4 billion."
"2.5 billion."
"Brother Chu, you couldn't even compete with me for the ores that were worth tens of millions just now, and now you dare to compete with me for this Daoist Weapon? Hmph, do you even have that much spiritual marrow? "Wang Hang said coldly.
"I don't think the ores are worth it, so I stopped bidding. But this Daoist Weapon, I think it's worth 2 billion. Besides, I don't have any spiritual marrow, but the City Lord's Residence doesn't have any either, right?"
Chu Kuangren smiled.
Tang Haitang was taken aback. Then, she calmly said, "That's right. I'll pay for everything Fellow Daoist Chu bids for. My City Lord's Mansion isn't that rich, but I can still afford a great dao tool."
The crowd could not help but gasp in surprise.
They did not expect Tang Haitang to pay so much for him.
Tang Haitang knew that Chu Kuangren was the guest of honor that the Mystic Moon Daoist Master brought back, and he was also the one who would help her awaken her Immortal Physique.
Spending a few billion for him was a small matter.
Besides, she was quite willing to do it.
"Tsk, this guy is a playboy who relies on women."
"I didn't expect him to be someone like that."
"Why would the City Lord's daughter like someone like him?"
"But I have to say, I'm jealous."
Even if he was living off a woman, not everyone could live off the City Lord's daughter. It was also a kind of ability.
The Wang family's crown prince did not move her at all, but now, the City Lord's daughter was willing to do it for Chu Kuangren.
Based on this, Chu Kuangren had won.
"Hmph, 2.6 billion for a pretty boy."
"2.7 billion."
"3 billion!"
"3.1 billion!"
"3.2 billion!!"
Wang Hang's eyes were a little red. 3.2 billion Spiritual Essence was the most he could mobilize at this moment.
Seeing that it was about time, Chu Kuangren stopped bidding.
"Hmph, after saying so much, this Daoist Weapon still belongs to me. A pretty boy like you knows the City Lord's Residence won't spend that much spiritual marrow on you, so you're afraid to bid?" Wang Hang sneered.
He felt that he had won again.
"Is there no one else?"
"Then I hereby announce that this Daoist Weapon belongs to the Wang family."
Old Man Li made the final decision.
At that moment, Tang Haitang took a closer look at the armor and suddenly gasped. "Brother Chu, didn't you entrust this armor to the Three Thousand Firm just now?"
"It seems … like it." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that.
Especially Wang Hang. The treasure that he had spent 3.2 billion spiritual marrow to buy was something that Chu Kuangren did not want anymore.
He had been played by Chu Kuangren!
