364: Chapter 361: Auction 364: Chapter 361: Auction When i Ruohua learned she would be sharing a room with Li Chen tonight, her heart pounded like a deer leaping around.
On the way here, she felt like a primary school student who had made a mistake, waiting anxiously for the teacher’s punishnt.
The room was on the fourth floor and the furnishings were simple: a TV, a coffee table, and just one king-size mattress.
Li Chen pointed to the double bed and said, “You’ve been driving all day, you must be tired, go to sleep first.”
i Ruohua bravely asked Li Chen, “What about you?”
Li Chen waved his hand, saying, “You go to sleep, don’t mind .”
Seeing that Li Chen had no intention of sharing the bed, i Ruohua felt relieved.
However, alongside the relief, there was a tinge of disappointnt.
Without saying much more, she went to bed alone.
Although it was called the King Suite, the soundproofing was rather poor.
She could hear everything from the next room.
It started with what seed like a beautiful woman arriving, and a man hurriedly lunged at her.
Even i Ruohua, still a virgin, could guess what was happening.
Already anxious, she could barely handle such stimuli and suddenly heard a sharp scream from next door.
i Ruohua was startled and instinctively reached for her sword.
However, at this mont, Li Chen wore an expression trying to hold back laughter.
Puzzled, i Ruohua gathered her courage to ask, “Young Master, what are you laughing at?”
Li Chen pointed next door and said, “I’m laughing at them!”
i Ruohua, puzzled, asked, “Do you know what’s happening next door?”
Li Chen didn’t directly answer i Ruohua’s question but instead asked, “Ruohua, what do you think a lecherous man would want to do most when a very beautiful woman cos to him willingly?”
Hearing such a sudden question from Li Chen, i Ruohua’s cheeks turned red instantly.
“What else could he do but that shaful act!”
Li Chen asked, “And what must be done first for that kind of thing?”
i Ruohua was surprised and replied, “What else but to take off clothes?”
Li Chen nodded and said, “Right, taking off the clothes.”
“Uh?” i Ruohua was completely confused, her face full of bewildernt.
Suddenly, it seed as though she understood the situation, and her cheeks turned charmingly red.
Even the roots of her ears beca fiery hot.
Amid the stimulation from next door, the room was filled with the hormones of youth, and the air was tinged with ambiguous undertones.
After so ti, i Ruohua clenched her teeth, appeared to have made a significant decision, and said with a blushing face, “Young Master, would you like to serve you for rest?”
Li Chen didn’t respond, just quietly watched her.
i Ruohua, biting her lip, lowered her head and said, “My body is still pure, untouched by anyone, a perfect virgin!”
While speaking, she even began to take off her outer garnt, revealing her smooth, pale shoulders.
Li Chen chuckled and said, “The moonlight outside the window is pretty good.
I’ll go out for a walk.
You go to sleep first!”
Before his words even finished, he had already left the room.
i Ruohua looked around the empty room, her expression one of lancholy.
She was the precious daughter of the i Family, the Heavenly Pride Girl of Lingnan, the icy goddess in the hearts of thousands of n.
But now, she had taken the initiative to throw herself at a man, and he hadn’t even glanced at her, just turned around and left?
A deep sense of loss overwheld i Ruohua, making her realize for the first ti that perhaps her so-called charm was limited after all.
The next day!
At eight o’clock in the evening, on Black Stone Square, the annual Black Forest Auction comnced.
Now, these auction events have beco a cultural event for the upper class.
For example, charity auctions that only individuals of certain stature can attend.
And moreover, they have ford an industry chain with high profits, with Christie’s and Sotheby’s leading this field.
However, if it’s just about the profits, neither can compare with the Black Forest.
Why is simple.
Regular auction houses have to pay hefty duties to the local governnt for each auction they hold, but Black Forest does not.
Plus, concerning so national treasures stolen from certain countries, like paintings, jade, etc., regular auction houses, for the sake of their reputation, wouldn’t dare to touch these items.
However, Black Forest Auction House has no such scruples.
Whatever is brought there, even the crown from the head of the Queen of England, the scepter of the Tsar, or Huaxia’s Imperial Jade Seal, they would auction without error.
Thus, many illicit treasures are also sold there.
Li Chen and i Ruohua found a corner to sit and quietly waited for the auction to officially begin.
Not long after they settled, people began to trickle in.
Among them, a group of four people caught Li Chen’s attention.
From their attire, it seed they were from the Human Demon Country.
The leader was an emaciated old man, dressed in a white robe with a turban covering his head, hiding his face but revealing a pair of sinister eyes, appearing quite frightening.
The white-robed elder, after scanning around the area with those sinister eyes, chose a spot near the door to sit down.
i Ruohua watched him for a while and whispered, “Young Master, I feel a dangerous aura from these people!”
Li Chen smiled lightly and replied, “He’s a Curse Master from the Human Demon Country, never look into his eyes to avoid being cursed!”
i Ruohua quickly averted her gaze and nodded repeatedly.
Just then, a second group that caught Li Chen’s attention swaggered in.
The leader was a man in his thirties, embracing a foreign woman, and chose the most conspicuous middle seat, appearing very flamboyant.
Following him were two n built like Copper n, flanking him on both sides, standing like iron towers protecting him.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen pursed his lips with a smile: “Interesting.
To have two Masters of Cross-training as bodyguards, this guy must be quite significant!”
More and more people entered, and from the looks of it, they were all either rich or noble, most bringing bodyguards.
After all, Black Forest is not like other places.
Murders and robberies are common occurances.
If you don’t bring enough bodyguards, your life might be at risk.
At 8:30, the person in charge of the Black Forest Auction House took the stage and announced that the auction had officially begun!
