Everyone roared with laughter at the two-and-a-half-million bid. No one could understand why the person in VIP Room 7 would raise it to such an awkward figure.
The sounds of ridicule from outside must have made Young Master Ouyang in VIP Room 7 realize his blunder. 'I really bid an embarrassing number,' he thought. He imdiately snapped at the maid, "Add another five hundred thousand for . Why didn't you remind ?"
His tone was full of bla, but the maid couldn't talk back. She could only imdiately add another five hundred thousand. The number on the grand screen in the auction hall instantly changed to three million.
Three million Spirit Stones for the egg of an unknown Demon Beast was a terrible deal. However, for a wealthy, prominent family, it was nothing. The crowd just treated it as a joke.
Just then, the occupant of VIP Room 4 grew angry. "Who the hell is this person in VIP Room 7? Why do they insist on fighting for this Demon Beast Egg? I ca to this auction specifically for this egg! It's infuriating."
"Young Master, it's just one Demon Beast Egg. Why are you so fixated on it? Besides, we don't even know what kind it is. Three million Spirit Stones is already a hefty sum. Should you consider giving up?" the maid asked.
"Give up? Do you have any idea what kind of Demon Beast Egg this is? If I'm not mistaken, this should be the egg of a Seven-Colored Sparrow! There's probably no one else here who knows this secret, which is why I *must* have this Demon Beast Egg!" the young master declared.
"A Seven-Colored Sparrow? Young Master, how can you be so certain it's a Seven-Colored Sparrow's egg? If you're wrong, won't the loss be greater than any potential gain?" the maid asked, puzzled.
"Would I be this invested if I weren't certain? The most obvious sign of a Seven-Colored Sparrow egg is that it emits a red glow, and it has faint Energy fluctuations on its surface. Most importantly, I have a family treasure that allows to see clearly what's inside the Demon Beast Egg. That's why I can be so sure.
But there's no point in explaining this to you; you wouldn't understand. Now, add five hundred thousand. I want to make them back down. If they piss off, I don't care who they are—they won't be leaving Linxiao City alive," the young master said, his face contorted with rage.
So, the maid imdiately raised the bid to three and a half million. With VIP Room 4 making another move, their intentions were crystal clear, and the entire auction hall buzzed with excitent.
Everyone was speculating on who would ultimately win the Demon Beast Egg. It seed they had all montarily forgotten about Ye Tian in VIP Room 3, as he hadn't placed a bid in quite a while.
They also speculated about the identities of the occupants in those two VIP rooms. Only soone from a prominent family in the Imperial City could be so extravagant. People wondered if this conflict would lead to the two families coming to blows after the auction.
Ye Tian smiled slightly as he watched the numbers on the screen. "Interesting. I didn't expect these two to be so invested in this Demon Beast Egg. I wonder if they also know its secret. If they do, this could get a little troubleso."
"They probably don't know," Zhang Xinlan said. "Even I'm not entirely certain. I only read about it in ancient tos, and the ancient texts of the Celestial Dragon Empire might not even have records of the Seven-Colored Sparrow. They're probably just bidding out of stubbornness, unwilling to be outdone."
Ye Tian thought she had a point. He turned to Xu Chun and said, "Everyone else is raising the price. We can't fall behind. Jump the bid straight to five million. I want to see how they respond to that."
"Young Master, are you sure? Five million Spirit Stones?" Xu Chun asked Ye Tian for confirmation.
"I'm sure! Place the bid! If they respond, we'll just go higher. I'd like to see who dares to fight for this Seven-Colored Sparrow egg," Ye Tian said with a smile.
'I have to get this Seven-Colored Sparrow egg,' Ye Tian thought, 'but I'm not sure who to give it to once I have it. I do have a few won, after all. Right now, the only one who seems right is Zhang Xinlan. She isn't my woman yet, but it's only a matter of ti.'
'The marriage contract from the Holy Land is real, and I can't back out of it even if I wanted to. I have a feeling I ca to the right place with this auction.'
'If Zhang Xinlan had the Seven-Colored Sparrow, my Eight-winged Golden Scale Python would have a companion. They are both vicious beasts from the Ancient Tis; they must have many special inherited mories to share.'
anwhile, Zhang Xinlan's words had stunned Zhou Hongtao and Xu Chun. They could tell from her comnt that she wasn't from the Celestial Dragon Empire, which made her identity rather frightening. Still, they didn't dare to ask questions. What if she was a spy from a rival Empire? That would spell big trouble.
Xu Chun directly raised the bid to five million Spirit Stones. Cries of disbelief imdiately erupted throughout the auction hall. Everyone stared at the grand screen, unable to believe the number displayed: five million. VIP Room 3 had made another move, jumping the bid straight to five million with a single offer. People thought they must be seeing things.
"VIP Room 3 bids five million! That's the most staggering figure we've seen today! It seems the bidder in VIP Room 3 is determined to win this Demon Beast Egg! Are there any other bids? If not, then this Demon Beast Egg will belong to our guest in VIP Room 3!" the middle-aged man on the circular stage announced excitedly.
"How dare they! To make such an insane bid... they're clearly disrespecting ! VIP Room 3, I'll rember this! Add another million for !" the young master in VIP Room 4 snarled.
"Understood, Young Master!" Knowing he was furious, the maid didn't dare try to persuade him otherwise and imdiately raised the bid to six million Spirit Stones.
The massive figure of six million Spirit Stones appeared on the grand screen, and the auction hall once again erupted into a frenzy.
At the sa ti, everyone started to wonder what kind of Demon Beast Egg this could possibly be. With the bids getting so high, it couldn't just be a battle of egos. They all began to speculate on who would ultimately take it ho.
At this point, Young Master Ouyang in VIP Room 7 was growing restless. It wasn't just him; the occupants of the other VIP rooms were also starting to feel that sothing was unusual about this situation.
An ordinary Demon Beast Egg would go for two million Spirit Stones at most. This one had reached six million and showed signs of climbing even higher. It was clear this was no ordinary egg, and the occupants of the other VIP rooms felt the urge to join the bidding.
Like a single stone stirring a thousand ripples, the high bids had an effect. Young Master Ouyang turned to his maid and asked, "What on earth is that Demon Beast Egg? Why are the people in Rooms 3 and 4 so desperate to get it?"
"Young Master, it seems to be a Demon Beast Egg from the Demon Beast Continent. Apparently, the owner tried to hatch it for many years without success. But there are clear signs of life inside, so he put it up for auction to see if soone else could hatch it and find out what kind of Demon Beast it is," the maid explained.
"Oh, so that's the story. In that case, add another million for . If it's such a prize, then of course I have to have it!" Young Master Ouyang declared.
