Chapter 145: The Pirate Queen Has Arrived

  PS: Thank you for the rewards from Qing Tian Mo Wu and xqysccd, as well as the monthly votes and evaluation vote from Zhuo Ze Qi 1!

  Su Wen suppressed the impulse in his heart, the auction had not ended yet, he could only wait a little longer.

  "Boss, Shengmudan has been slapped with 250 million, and it was even secretly slapped by a gold-level customer. Our Jingbaotuan is going to be on fire."

  "I know this time's sneak shot will definitely cause a stir."

  The auction continued below, with only less than thirty items this time. The three-leafed Lingzhi that was the finale again sparked a frenzy of bidding, but the final transaction price was only 2.4 billion, which surprisingly didn't even surpass Shenmu Dan. Everyone was somewhat perplexed by what was happening.

  After the auction ended, Su Wen found Yang Feixue.

  The old man who was auctioning also looked at Su Wen, smiled and said: "Su Xiaozi, you've made a fortune this time, the three items were sold for nearly 600 million, and the Shengji Dan was even secretly bid on, impressive!"

  Su Wen smiled: "The price of Shengmu Dan was unexpected, and I didn't expect it to be photographed at such a high price."

  The old man nodded: "It's not that you didn't think of it, but even Bao Long didn't think of it. When I took a look at the auction items at the time, I thought Sheng Rou Dan was the final item. But the auction sequence sent out by Bao Long and others actually put Sheng Rou Dan in the middle. At that time, I knew they had made a mistake. In my opinion, Sheng Rou Dan should be moved to next month as the final item, so we can promote it well. However, when I received the auction list, the message had already been sent out. It was too late."

  "So it's like this, I don't know why Shenmu Dan is so expensive?"

  "The value of Shenmu Dan itself is not high, and it would be good if it could be auctioned off for 1 billion. However, its research value is very high. Especially for those wealthy families with pharmaceutical companies, if a new drug can be developed based on Shenmu Dan, you can imagine how high the profit will be."

  "This... might be worth trillions!"

  "Not bad, a new drug that can remove scars and treat external injuries is enough to sweep the market, saying it's worth tens of billions is an understatement. Of course, this is just theoretical. If no new drug is developed based on Shenmu Dan research, then the 250 million will be wasted. Simply put, this is a gamble, and only those who get their hands on Shenmu Dan will know the outcome."

  Su Wen smiled: "It's not easy to develop new medicine based on Shenmu Dan. Anyway, I don't have much hope. That...I don't know how to address you, senior?"

  "My name is Mu Ren. Just call me Old Mu."

  "Old Mu!"

  "Alright. You must be here for Fei Xue! I won't disturb you two." Mu Ren turned around and left.

  "Speak up, what brings you to me?" Yang Feixue said bluntly.

  "Yang Feixue, have you forgotten? We are white gold level customers of Jibao Auction House and have the privilege to bid in secret. Even golden level customers can do so, what about our qualifications?" Su Wen was very displeased, he had come to question Yang's actions.

  "What do you want to sneakily take a photo of?"

  "Of course, it's an auction. What if one day I take a liking to something and make a secret bid? Isn't that normal?" Su Wen said matter-of-factly: "Even if we don't make a secret bid, as long as we have the right to do so, you can't take it away from us. Otherwise, be careful or I'll sue you."

  "Hmph!" Yang Feixue burst out laughing, "Then go ahead and sue me!"

  "Yang Feixue, I'm not joking with you. Let's follow the contract, we should have the rights that are due to us from Jibaozhai, not one item less. If I find out there's another incident like this in the future, Shengshi Auction House will never get anything from Jibaozhai again."

  "Are you threatening me?"

  "It's no threat, I'm just telling you to follow the rules."

  Yang Feixue glanced at Su Wen and said after a while, "The privileges of white gold level customers need to be reviewed by the headquarters. I just submitted the materials and they haven't been approved yet."

  Su Wen heard this and realized she had misunderstood Yang Feixue.

  "You're just leaving like this?"

  "I still have something to attend to, I won't bother you anymore."

  "Is it gone?"

  "Okay, I was wrong just now and I apologize to you."

  "Then you treat me to dinner."

  "What's the time now? What's for dinner."

  "I've been busy until now and haven't eaten yet, you can hear my stomach growling."

  "A beauty says this, how embarrassing!"

  "So will you invite me or not?"

  Su Wen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll treat!"

  Outside, it's already 10 o'clock at night.

  "Let's go to the night market in the north of the city, there are many snacks over there."

  "Alright, let's go!"

  Yang Feixue drove for about twenty minutes before they arrived.

  "I want to eat barbecue!"

  "My treat!"

  "I want to eat mille-feuille!"

  "It's on me!"

  ……

  "I want to eat stinky tofu!"

  "Am I done with you, grandma?"

  "Does it matter to you?" Yuxue touched her own belly, "I'm about 80% full, I'll just eat a bit of something else."

  "It's strange, how can you eat so much and your belly doesn't get bigger?"

  "Don't look anymore, or you'll be taken for a hooligan!"

  "I'm just looking, it's not against the law!"

  "Want me to touch it for you?"

  "Ah!"

  Su Wen had not yet reacted when Yang Fei Xue had already pressed his hand onto her lower abdomen.

  "How is it?"

  "You don't know how to be reserved at all."

  Su Wen was completely at a loss for words, he could be said to have been defeated by Yang Feixue.

  "So you've touched it all, are you going to take responsibility?"

  "This is getting serious, isn't it too ridiculous?!"

  Yang Feixue didn't finish speaking when a soft laughter came from the front: "Young man, how many months pregnant is your wife?"

  Su Wen hastily withdrew her hand and looked at the man beside her, saying displeased: "Not yet pregnant!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wen knew he had misspoken.

  The man laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, let's work hard tonight. Maybe I'll get pregnant."

  Su Wen and Yang Feixue were both blushing bright red, unable to say anything more, when Yang Feixue suddenly pulled Su Wen away in a hurry.

  "It's getting late, I'll send you back."

  "I'll take you back instead."

  "Alright!"

  Yang Feixue sent Su Wen to the alley entrance and waved her hand saying: "Get some rest early!"

  Su Wen smiled and turned around to leave.

  ……

  The next day, Yang Feixue arrived at Jubaopu early in the morning.

  "Su Wen!"

  "What's wrong with me being here?"

  "I'll choose a suitable treasure now, and start preparing for next month's auction. The experience with the Rejuvenation Pill is a lesson, if I had done more preparation, its price could have been even higher. Having suffered a loss once, from now on, any treasures chosen from the Treasure Pavilion must be promoted half a month in advance."

  "I have no opinion, you watch whatever you want."

  Yi Xue led Bao Long and soon made a decision.

  "There are two types. One is Tempering Body Dan, which can be used as a finale item. The reason is similar to that of Sheng Muscle Dan, and the research value of Tempering Body Dan is also very high. However, in order to match our auction, the Tempering Body Dan inside the Treasure Pavilion will not be sold for the time being. The second type is Return Color Pearl, but there are only three, which will be auctioned off in three times, just as a complement. That's all for now, and when the auction is about to start, I'll come again, and if there's something suitable, maybe it will be added temporarily."

  "No problem, you handle it!"

  "Uh, I have something else to attend to, see you later!"

  Su Wenmu saw Yang Feixue off, feeling somewhat perplexed. Today, Yang Feixue surprisingly didn't cling to him. Could this be a case of "luring by pretending to yield", but it doesn't seem like it!

  In Jiangning City, Su Wen began to try to complete the system's published tasks. However, after a busy day, neither the branch line tasks nor the main line tasks had made any progress, and when he returned to his residence, it was already approaching seven o'clock.

  "I have something to attend to, you go out and eat today!" Yuxue said.

  "Alright!" Su Wen took Xiao Hu Li out the door, "Little demon, what do you say we eat today?"

  "Meat! Meat!"

  Su Wen was speechless.

  A new day begins with practice.

  The little monster got up early in the morning and habitually ran a lap outside. By the time it returned, Su Wen had almost finished his cultivation.

  Sitting in the Treasure Pavilion, Su Wen planned to rent a yacht and go out to sea. If he only searched for treasures in Jiangning, it would be far from enough to complete his task.

  "Is Su Wen here?"

  "This voice sounds so familiar, who is it?" Su Wen heard it from the second floor.

  "Our boss is upstairs, I don't know who you are?"

  "My name is Xiaoya, would you mind calling Suwen for me?"

  "Of course."

  Before Chen Yunhao could shout, Su Wen had already come down from the second floor. He looked at the person who appeared in the Treasure Pavilion and exclaimed: "You are a pirate..."

  "Don't say it out loud, it's me." Xiaoya hastily covered Su Wen's mouth.

  Su Wen nodded, and Xiao Ya finally let go of Su Wen.

  On the second floor, two people sat facing each other.

  "How dare you be so presumptuous? Is China a place where you can just come and go as you please?"

  "I want to have a baby!" Xiaoya said bluntly.

  "I gave you one last time, how was the effect?"

  "Look for yourself!" Xiaoya removed her veil.

  Su Wen looked at it for half a day and thought for a moment: "Probably about 70% of the scars have been removed, and with another Rejuvenating Pellet, there should be no problem."

  "I'll buy it!"

  "Do you know how much money is needed?"

  "I don't know, is 10 million enough?" Xiaoya asked tentatively.

  "Yesterday, a Shengshi auction house sold a Muscle Revival Dan for 2.5 billion," Su Wen said calmly. "The last time I gave you one, it was just lent to you. Now that you want another one, how much do you think you should pay me?"

  "500 million!" Xiaoya covered her mouth, hardly able to believe it.

  "It won't be less than 500 million, after all, this isn't an auction, a price of 400 million is barely acceptable."

  "I only have 10 million!"

  "Aren't you the Pirate Queen? How can you be so poor? Consider it a debt I owe you, and I'll give you another discount. 300 million, not a penny less."

  "I really only have 10 million!"

  Su Wen was speechless and had no idea what to say.

  "Our Nine Serpent Pirates' mission can earn us tens of millions, but after splitting it up, there's not much left. And I'm really struggling financially lately. Otherwise, could you lend me another Rebirth Pill? I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money." Little Ya said innocently.
