Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1370: Nothing Gained Other than Double Loss
Seeing the young man no longer raise the price, and as the fat lady was about to speak, Argent Martial Hale quickly raised his hand and said in a deep voice, “8 million Crystal Essences!”
The greasy-looking middle-aged man suddenly turned around and glared at him, furious. “10 million Crystal Essences! I will give up if anyone bids higher than me! ”
Gasp …
Hundreds of guests throughout the hall gasped, including other mortal prostitutes and Immortal. Unbelief covered their faces. They never dreamed that one would willingly spend 10 million Crystal Essences just for a woman.
Argent Martial Hale smiled coldly. Had he not traveled to the Secret Palace, he would not have been able to afford 10 million Crystal Essences. He had obtained many treasures while he was adventuring in the Secret Palace, and his total value exceeded 10 million Crystal Essences, so he shouted again, “10.5 million Crystal Essences! Such an extraordinary woman deserved a great master similar to deep wealth. ”
At that moment, the entire hall was so silent that anyone could hear the needle falling to the floor.
Suddenly, a thin and ordinary looking middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice, “Then I bid 20 million Crystal Essences for him! Let me see who dares to declare himself a great God with such a deep pocket. Do you think I'd be afraid to compare wealth with you? This amazing Belle was not someone that was possessed by the poor. ”
“F *CK!”
Argent Martial Hale's self-esteem was very provoked. His killing intent was filled with gazes sweeping across the middle-aged man again and again. He breathed heavily several times and shouted loudly, “30 million Crystal Essences! You want to be crazier than this? Bring and bid higher if you get capital! ”
The skinny middle-aged man hesitated and fell silent for a moment. Then, he bid again after swallowing his tense feeling. “30 — no, 35 million Crystal Essences to buy this unparalleled prima donna. If there are others who offer higher than me, then I .. ”
35 Million ?!
Everyone present was extremely agitated by this frightening amount.The 35 million Crystal Essences were astronomical figures in their eyes.
Argent Martial Hale nearly exploded with rage. He had never imagined that someone would dare to bid such an outrageous price for an immortal swindler. Most importantly, this man kept on baiting him. He had endured humiliation as if he was a dog in the Eternal Palace, and now, after he had left the sect, outsiders still passed by him as well? It only felt more painful than stabbing him, sparking his anger.
“40 million Crystal Essences!”
His words finally seeped out through his teeth. He did not possess many Crystal Essences, but he still had many immortal artifacts in his possession. Selling everything should barely make up for the amount.
The middle-aged man was as if struck by lightning and stared in a daze as he slumped into his chair, unable to speak for a long time.
The fat lady was also stimulated by Argent Martial Hale's offer, but she was well aware that such a large amount was not hers. He took a deep breath and said loudly, “May I know your name, honored guest?”
“Argent Martial Hale.”
As he spat out his name, Argent Martial Hale felt a sudden relief. But a moment after that, regret began to multiply in his heart. After pondering over himself, he realized that he had been rash since 40 million Crystal Essences was a truly frightening amount. However, he had miraculously burned all of it to buy a woman even though that woman was an incomparable prima donna.
No matter what ... it just ... not worth it!
The fat lady smiled. “Then I want Sir Argent Martial Hale to pay now. Jing Xian’er will be your personal property after you pay for Crystal Essences. ”
Argent Martial Hale fell silent for a moment and then slowly said, “I don't have enough Crystal Essences with me now, but I have many immortal artifacts that can be exchanged for sufficient Crystal Essences. Call the appraiser here. I need him to assess their price. ”
The fat woman's expression suddenly turned cold. He made a few moves, then dozens of powerful auras could be felt silently appearing in the surroundings. Shortly after, he sneered. “You know what this place is? Do you think we'll have an appraiser working here? Dear guest, you should not play tricks on us and hit our anger. Speak in person if you cannot pay. Of course, those who have played us have never had a good ending. You should have heard about our supporters. ”
Argent Martial Hale was furious, but under the public gaze, he finally replied with a headache, “Eternal artifacts can be pawned. Everybody knows that. I can definitely pay if I can pawn this artifact. ”
“Sorry, but not.” The fat lady shook her head.
At this moment, the young man who had previously bid in the auction exclaimed. “Hey, I can buy your artifacts, but surely I will only buy them at a cheaper price than in the stores.”
Given that he could not go to sell the immortal artifact, Argent Martial Hale was instantly overjoyed upon hearing the young man's offer. He quickly took out an interspatial ring and threw it at the young man. “Relieve those things and state the price.”
The young man took the ring and used his spiritual senses to examine his space. After carefully appraising the items for a long time, he then slowly said, “16 million Crystal Essences! We will close the deal if you accept. And if not, I'll go. ”
“Did you take advantage to rob me while I was in an emergency?” Argent Martial Hale was furious. “I've assessed this artifact myself. Everything is worth at least 24 million, yet you offer me 16 million? Isn't that too much of a trap? ”
“You know, you're overestimating the total value of your artifacts, pal.” The young man sneered. “16 million, grab or leave. To begin with, I'm helping you with good intentions, yet you don't even appreciate it and just rampage at me. ”
The young man received the two objects and appraised them closely. Afterwards, he said expressionlessly, “8 million Crystal Essences and I will take it. If you don't want to, forget our previous deal. Consider me watching the spectacle of you buying your prima donna here. ”
The statement was so merciless and cruel, causing Argent Martial Hale to bleed inside. However, fearing that the young man would not buy his artifact, he finally nodded and said, “Good, well. You're willing to buy my stuff, so let's close the deal! Total 24 million Crystal Essences then! ”
The young man nodded, took out an interspatial ring, and threw it at him, saying, “There are 24 million Crystal Essences inside. Your eternal treasure is mine from now on. ”
“No problem,” replied Argent Martial Hale bitterly.
Soon after, he paid 40 million Crystal Essences to the fat lady. When the fat lady brought Jing Xianer along, even though her stunning beauty was incomparable, she couldn't help but want to slap her with impulse. It should be noted that he had sold everything he had except for the immortal sword inside his body. He only had 3.7 million Crystal Essences left after paying 40 million for Jing Xian’er.
“Follow me.” Argent Martial Hale took Jing Xianer away under everyone's watch.
Soon after, the Scorpio Sablefiend came to see the fat lady and the young man in the secret room to receive all the Crystal Essences and artifacts. After gathering them all together, he casually threw 800,000 Crystal Essences at them and gave them 10,000 more each. After that, he took everything and immediately left.
Tang Xiu quietly followed Argent Martial Hale and Jing Xian’er. At this moment, this person's aura became a little chaotic and his mind was completely unstable, so Tang Xiu was sure that he would not be seen.
The residential area of Floating Snow City.
Just as Jing Xian’er followed Argent Martial Hale into a deep alley, his steps suddenly came to a halt and a pitiful expression was thrown at his stunning face.
“What's wrong?”
Argent Martial Hale is in a bad mood. Upon realizing that Jing Xian’er stopped walking, he immediately turned around and grimly asked.
Jing Xianer hesitated for a moment before blushing gradually covered her face, saying, “I ... I want to go to the restroom, Mr.”
Go to the latrine?
Argent Martial Hale stared blankly for a while and observed Jing Xian’er's blushing face. His bad mood was very calm and he said in a deep voice, “Defend first, we will soon arrive at my house.”
Jing Xian’er did not even move her legs and anxiously shouted and pleaded. “Please Mr. .. I can't hold it anymore.”
“Sial .. how troublesome.”
Argent Martial Hale snorted dejectedly and waved. “There's a toilet in the corner there. Let's go there.”
“Good.”
Jing Xian’er deliberately looked relieved and pleased. After following him outside the toilet, he rushed in while covering his bottom. Argent Martial Hale did not follow him but leaned against the wall while thinking calmly where to gain a lot of wealth.
Several thousand meters away from the place, the figure of Jing Xian’er suddenly appeared out of nowhere. As he saw Tang Xiu appear, he casually came to him and asked respectfully, “Are you the Great Tang Emperor of the Heavens?”
“I.” Tang Xiu nodded.
“I have completed my mission. The Argent man should now think that I am still in the toilet, ” Jing Xianer said with a smile.
“You're doing great.” Tang Xiu smiled with satisfaction. “Take this grade 7 artifact as your gift. Alright, you can leave now, but I advise you to go somewhere else. This Floating Snow City was not a good place to stay for long. ”
Jing Xian’er received a grade-7 artifact and inserted it into the interspatial right without looking at it. Then, he smiled. “Heavenly Great Tang Emperor, Grandma told me that she will take me away from this Eternal Domain. Also, he promised me that if I excel, he will take me as his student, so I will go wherever you go in the future. ”
“Come again?” Tang Xiu did not expect that the Scorpio Sablefiend had given such a promise to Jing Xianer.
Whooshing sound…
The Scorpio Sablefiend ran off from a distance and then appeared in front of Tang Xiu and Jing Xian’er instantly. She then looked at Tang Xiu and respectfully said, “God, Jing Xian’er is the daughter of an old friend of mine. I hope you can allow me to accept him as my disciple. ”
