Chapter 20 ( Part 6)

On a round table, the sisters had tea in silence. The maids who stood on the sidelines had stiffened. Since they left the main hall. The sisters had not uttered a word.

An Auction will be held tonight. This may lift your highness's mood. A maid said.

Then we shall leave now. Cherry said.

Little Spirit and Milk tea reminded her about the Auction for some time. Little Spirit had been working on the coral red pill for quite some time and wished to sell it.

Tell grandma if she would like to join us. Peony said.

Cherry was not very fond of this idea but did not object.

In the carriage, Peony and Grandma were busy conversing. From time to time they would talk with her other sisters, but her grandmother did not speak to her. Cherry took out from her pocket a small bottle of perfume she had recently bought.

Yesterday the scent of this perfume drifted into my nose. The scent reminded me of you.

Yet her grandmother did not respond.

Arrived. They descended the carriage many stopped and cleared the path. Today Peony had a fierce glare in her eyes and anyone with eye contact would shiver. A faint killing intent surrounded her. The sisters did not look quite friendly today.

What luck, Qing manor's princesses are gracing us with their presence and quickly kick the merchant family occupying the third exclusive guest room. A worker came out to greet them.

The crowds gave way, and they were led into a room. The auction hall was split up into layers. On the first floor were the common people and lower nobles. On the second floor sat the upper-class nobility or high-ranking cultivators. On the third floor sat royalty and the Elite cultivators.

Hello, could this be added to the list of auctioned items? Cherry asked.

Your Highness, I will add it to the auctioned items. Is there anything else I should get the worker bowed?

That shall be it for now. The worker ran off. Cherry made herself comfortable. She listened to the auction, nothing was interesting about it until,

This is a fifth-ranked Coral red pill. The starting price is 3 red spirit stones. The bid begins one, two three.

Someone from the third floor said. 10 red spirit stones

Cherry recognized this voice. It was Li rayu. Cherry let out a slight laugh.

15 red spirit stones she said.

Someone else on the second floor shouted 50 red spirit stones.

A 100 red spirit stones. Cherry said.

If all the rich people want it. It must be important. Daddy buy it for me. A kid shouted.

An intensified battle between Li rayu and Cherry commenced.

220 red spirit stones

250 red spirit stones.

300 red spirit stones.

400 red spirit stones

500 red spirit stones.

550 red spirit stones. Li Rayu said.

550 red spirit stones final price. One, Two, three. The red coral pill belongs to the sir in the fifth guest room.

Now that she had successfully sold the red coral pill she could relax and wait for her prey. The Yue pill.

Her grandmother's eyes remained on cherry. She is growing up to be almost perfect.

From time to time the girls chatted.

The Yue pill as this was mentioned the auction hall hushed down.

Starting the bid at 20 red spirit stones. One two three.

The craziness began all those who were bidding were standing up. Everyone trying to get her hands on the pills. Cherry chose to let them amuse themselves a little before she said.

1 orange spirit stone.

2 orange spirit stones. Li rayu said.

Another battle between the two. But Cherry came out victorious.

8 orange spirit stones.

She sat down patting on the milk tea head. A promise is a promise.

The servant in charge of the third floor. Knocked on the door to confirm Cherry's order. Throughout the process, the servant kept trying to touch Cherry's wrist but to no avail.

The auction ended.
