Chapter 9: How Generous of You

“Although the bracelet belongs to the beautiful girl, it looks very ordinary.”

Zhong Yihan, who was sitting at the side, did not speak. His gaze passed through the crowd and looked at Jin Xi curiously.

Shang Guanyang continued to speak to the crowd with a serious face.

“Although this bracelet looks ordinary, it’s actually made of extremely rare ancient sunken wood. I think everyone knows that it needs to be buried underground for at least 3,000 years, but this bracelet in my hand has been buried for 11,000 years. Even a pile of gold can’t compare to a bead of this bracelet!

Zhang Lan had a proud look on her face as she asked, “so? Can my bracelet be exchanged for a Soul Pearl?”

Shang Guanyang took a closer look at the bracelet. If he made a mistake, he would make a huge loss. After checking it carefully, he nodded firmly, “yes, definitely!”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the second floor. After all, the only people who could compete with Jin Xi and the others for the Soul Pearl were the two people upstairs. The rest of the people could only watch.

“I didn’t expect the girl to have something so rare. Should we still continue?” Wu Zhou asked.

Zhong Yihan picked up the red wine on the table and slowly swirled it. A section of his forearm was exposed from his sleeve. His expression was calm, and no one could see through his thoughts. He gave off a mysterious vibe. He thought for a moment and said, “no.”

Wu Zhou was shocked. One must know that even if the price was raised by a few hundred times, it would not be a problem for him, but he actually gave up? How shocking!

“Alright then.”

The auctioneer then dropped the hammer. “Congratulations to this monk for winning the Soul Pearl!”

The pearl was placed in Zhang Lan’s hand. He held it in his palm and ran off the stage triumphantly, saying in disdain, “so that’s all he has. He’s not even raising it to 100 million, how boring!”

At this time, Jin Xi had just finished the last pearl in her milk tea and looked up at the man upstairs. She knew very well that the man had the ability to continue bidding. No one would easily give up a treasure like this that had the ability to bring the dead back to life. But the man had given up. Why?

“Keep it safe. I’ll come to you for it when I need it.” Jin Xi said indifferently.

“Don’t worry!” Zhang Lan promised with a smile.

Although they didn’t win the bid, it did not affect Zhou Wu’s good mood. He said with a look of yearning, “do you think that the girl is so obsessed with the pearl? Does it mean that she likes jewelry very much? If that’s the case, if I were to give her my heirloom jade pendant, would she be so touched that she would marry me?”

With that, Wu Zhou’s eyes were filled with little hearts, as if he had already won the heart of the beauty.

Zhong Yihan looked at him coldly and waved at the waiter.

“If we do get married, what wedding gift will you give me? But based on our relationship, it’s enough for you to show up!”

Zhong Yihan looked at Wu Zhou as if he was looking at a fool. He snorted coldly, stood up with the cigarette in his mouth, and left.

Wu Zhou quickly got up and chased after him, “where are you going? Wait for me!”

Downstairs, Zhang Lan kept the pearl and asked, “it’s almost time. Should we leave now?”

Jin Xi nodded. She had already gotten what she wanted. There were too many people around, so she couldn’t stay for long. She got up and followed Zhang Lan out. However, she happened to meet Zhong Yihan and Wu Zhou who were coming down the stairs.

Wu Zhou was like a clingy dog as he walked up and said with a smile, “beautiful girl, do you still remember me? I’m Wu Zhou…!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhong Yihan interrupted him and said in a low voice, “how generous of you.”
