Chapter 732: Meeting Again in A Black Market
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh
Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming rested in the Four Sea Palace for the night, witnessing the extremely extravagant life of the dragon-kind. The next morning, they changed their looks and walked into the largest auction house in Chi Ban Market.
The great hall was luxuriously decorated. Countless human-head sized luminous pearls were inlaid in the ceiling according to the positions of stars. Those pearls glowed brightly, lighting the entire hall up.
When Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming walked into the hall with their bodies covered in long cloaks and faces covered in masks, the hall was already filled with people. Some were like Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming, who had covered their bodies and faces with cloaks and masks. Some even twisted the light around them with a special magic and released a faint layer of mist to wrap themselves up, seeming to be too afraid of being recognized. These people were quiet, sitting in groups of three to five in corners of the hall, while coldly looking around. Obviously, these people all came with particular purposes and were well-prepared.
Some people had been carelessly greeting each other, laughing and chatting, proudly boasting about the benefits they had recently gained, and the number of people by which their families had recently grown. These people came to watch the show, and wouldn’t cause any threat to Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming.
Some other people sat on stands against the four walls of this great hall. Those seats were specially prepared for VIP guests. Each of those guests had a large group of guards, sitting on their seats with heavy weapons, looking down at the entire hall.
Ji Hao paid some special attention to these people. He found that these people might not be too powerful themselves, but the force they represented must be especially strong. If a few of these rich people also wanted that Sky Eye, the price of that Sky Eye would be hard to predict.
Quickly glancing at Si Wen Ming who stood beside him, Ji Hao chuckled. Fortunately, he dragged Si Wen Ming over as a helper. Marquis Chong Si Xi was extremely wealthy. Therefore, with Si Wen Ming’s help, he would have a better chance to attain that Sky Eye at this auction. If he couldn’t defeat the other bidders, Si Wen Ming had brought a strong force, that would allow him to rob the Sky Eye after this auction.
Si Wen Ming narrowed his eyes, looked around then said in a low voice, ”Ao Li, Feng Qinxin, why are these two troubles here? Have they emptied Pan Xi world already?”
Followed Si Wen Ming’s eyes, Ji Hao saw Ao Li and Feng Qinxin, who sat together on a stand.
Ao Li had put his face flatteringly near Feng Qinxin, as he was saying something with a big grin on his face. Judging by the sparkling saliva flowing out from his mouth corner, he must be trying very hard to say something nice, to earn ingratiate himself with Feng Qinxin. As for Feng Qinxin, she was just blandly sitting in there, fiddling with a red ribbon, seeming to be quite bored.
Nine thumb-sized jade bells were tied on an end of the ribbon. Those bells would tinkle once the ribbon moved, which would cause Ji Hao a serious dizziness, as if the whole world was twisting and spinning fast.
Hurriedly turning around, Ji Hao said in a low voice, ”I didn’t see this girl have that treasure the last time, did I?”
Si Wen Ming sighed slightly, and explained with a bland tone, ”A month ago, a Kuafu Family Elder tore apart a land of Pan Xi world with a great power and found a natural underground cave suffused by pure natural powers. Those nine bells are a set of natural-crafted treasure, named sky-shaking bell, found in that underground cave.”
”Eh? In this case, those bells should belong to Kuafu Family, shouldn’t they?” asked Ji Hao in confusion.
”Si Wen Ming rubbed his chin and said embarrassedly, ”The Kuafu Family Elder was knocked out on the back by a phoenix-kind elder, and those bells were snatched by Feng Qinxin. This nearly became a war, and Emperor Shun spent quite an effort to appease this.”
