Chapter 1274: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Qizhenlou is holding its monthly auction.
Everyone knows that here there is nothing you can't see, only things you can't think of.
Thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum are common items that cannot be auctioned here. Almost all of the items that can be auctioned are rare treasures that people have heard of in legends but have never seen.
For example, last month, a snow-white nine-tailed fox appeared at the auction; and the month before that, the finale of the auction was a glowing migraine flower; and the month before that...
The items auctioned every month in Qizhenlou are enough to attract the attention of people all over the world.
Therefore, its reputation became more and more famous. Every month when the auction was approaching, rich and powerful people from all over the country would rush over, wanting to broaden their horizons and see if they had the luck to come across rare treasures.
Shili is the finale of this auction.
The people in Qizhenlou built her a huge and gorgeous cage using golden nanmu wood, and covered it with a layer of expensive and soft gold-woven cushions.
She was afraid that the cage was too hard and would damage her delicate fish tail.
That’s right, she was not lucky enough to travel through time and space and become an ordinary person, but she traveled through time and space and became a real mermaid.
The original owner was a sentimental mermaid. When Shi Li came over, she caught a bright pearl in the corner of her eye. It was probably because the original owner had just cried.
[The mermaid beads are indeed real! 】
【Get rich, get rich! 】
【Love to watch! 】
The comments were very excited at first, but they soon learned about the current situation from the conversations of people around them and began to worry about Shi Li's future.
As we all know, auction items have no human rights. If Shili is sold to an insatiable buyer in a while, then the rest of her life will probably be spent in constant tears and weaving.
Thinking of this, Shi Li shuddered silently, as if he felt the horror of being dominated by 007 as a modern worker.
But she could do nothing at the moment. Before she could even see the surroundings clearly, the cage under her was lifted up by several people and placed on a cart with wheels.
The mermaid, the finale of tonight’s auction, is about to make its debut!
"Brother Ding, please bear with me for a while! It will be the finale of tonight's auction soon!"
In the most luxuriously decorated private room in Qizhen Building, a young man in a brocade robe was nervously and flatteringly persuading the frowning and impatient man beside him.
The man's surname was Wenren, and his given name was Ding. He was the only son of Wenren Qing, the richest man in the north. He had no interest in the auction at Qizhenlou, but was pulled in by a friend he had known for many years.
He had been sitting in the private room patiently for half an hour, and when he felt that he had shown enough courtesy, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
But his friend stopped him and said, "Brother Ding, trust me, the finale item of Qizhenlou will definitely amaze you!"
Wen Ren Ding frowned deeply and raised his hand as if to hit his friend, but before his fist fell, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the candlelight on the stage dimmed, and another stream of bright light slowly rose up in the darkness.
For some reason, Wen Ren Ding lowered his hands and turned to look at the auction table.
The one emitting the sparkling light is the mermaid's soft and slender tail.
In order to make the mermaid's appearance more eye-catching, people in Qizhenlou deliberately turned off most of the lights and candles, just to make everyone notice the strangeness of the mermaid's tail.
In an instant, hundreds of eyes fell directly on Shi Li.
"Fortunately, I am not a social phobic, otherwise I would have wanted to die right now."
Shi Li used sarcastic remarks to hide her nervousness, and her hands hanging by her side were trembling slightly.
If she could, she really wanted to scream at this moment.
How could she become an auction item when she was a good person?
Help!
Who come to save her?!
I don’t know how long it took, but the surrounding candles lit up again.
Everyone noticed again that the mermaid was not only beautiful with her soft and glowing dragon tail, but also had a stunning beauty. She was imprisoned in a cage, and her round eyes were like black pearls, so beautiful that nothing could compare.
Along with the sound of inhaling, a loud and impatient male voice stood out.
"I'll buy this... mermaid!"
Shi Li subconsciously looked over following the voice and met a handsome face with a frown and impatience.
