Chapter 26: Holding her slender waist dispels doubts; as her boyfriend, shouldn't you show some affection?
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked at Lu Yilin leaving and felt that the other party was likely already at the mid-stage of two elements.
"I need to improve my strength quickly too."
Just then, Jin Xiulian said with a smile that concealed a knife, "Jiaojiao, I thought you only knew how to cultivate, but I didn't expect you to be in love too."
Mu Nujiao rarely interacts with people she has no connection with; in other people's eyes, she is a cultivation fanatic.
Therefore, it is clear that Jin Xiulian does not believe that Mu Nujiao and Lu Yuan are in a relationship.
Seeing this, Ai Tutu didn't know what to do, since her mind only allowed her to think this far.
Just as Mu Nujiao was wondering how to respond, her slender waist was suddenly embraced.
"Jiaojiao and I became friends after a fight. After that incident, we started discussing magic."
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "As we chatted, I realized that I seemed to have fallen for Jiao Jiao, so I confessed my feelings to her."
"At first she disagreed, but after I kept pestering her, she finally got together with me."
Jin Xiulian looked at Lu Yuan's calm and composed demeanor, and couldn't find any fault with him.
"Mr. Lu Hai, it's been a long time since we last met. Shall we have a chat?"
"it is good."
After the two elders left, Ai Tutu breathed a sigh of relief; she was really afraid of being exposed.
"Lu Yuan, your lying skills are really impressive." Ai Tutu patted her big, nervous chest, her heart still pounding.
"Thank you all," Mu Nujiao said sincerely.
Although it can only be a temporary setback, given more time, she will be able to prove herself.
"Lu Yuan, can you loosen your grip now?" Ai Tutu pried Lu Yuan's hand away.
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "I was so engrossed in my work that I forgot about that."
Mu Nujiao didn't hold it against him, after all, Lu Yuan had helped her earlier, and she believed he probably didn't do it on purpose.
Just then, some people at the banquet began to stand up and head towards an entrance.
"Is the auction about to begin?" Ai Tutu asked.
"It should be. Let's go in and grab some seats." As soon as Mu Nujiao finished speaking, the three of them entered the auction hall.
This is a charity auction, and 10% of the auctioned items will be donated.
Soon, Lu Yuan and his two companions found a seat near the front.
Not far away, Lu Mengyun and Lu Yilin also sat down.
"What a small world!" Ai Tutu was surprised that they were sitting in the same row.
Lu Yuan asked, "Judging from how excited you all are, is there anything you want at this auction?"
Ai Tutu nodded. "A top-grade wind-type spirit seed will appear at this auction, and Sister Mu wants to bid for it."
"Top-grade wind-type spirit seeds aren't cheap; you'd need at least 30 to 40 million to buy one in an auction." Lu Yuan had researched the market price of top-grade wind-type spirit seeds.
Mu Nujiao remained silent.
This time, she not only used all her savings, but also asked her family for more, which totaled more than 30 million.
"Sister Mu, if that's not enough, I have two million more here," Ai Tutu said generously.
Is this what a rich woman is like?
Before, Lu Yuan would have thought two million was a lot, but now he is a billionaire.
My horizons have naturally broadened.
"Let's see how it goes." Mu Nujiao wasn't sure if she could win it over; she could only wait and see how things went.
The auction began soon.
The first item up for auction is a spirit-level magical artifact, so you can imagine how intense this auction will be.
After several items were sold, the auctioneer began introducing another item.
"This golden fruit is called the Bright Fruit. It grows on the top of a mountain and takes many years to ripen."
The auctioneer continued, "After refining this fruit, light-element mages will gain a tremendous amount of energy, which will be very beneficial for mages below the high-level to break through."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan became interested in the Bright Fruit. His light system was at a critical stage of breakthrough, and it would definitely be useful to him.
"The starting bid for this Bright Fruit is one million, and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand higher."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, everyone in the room raised their paddles, eager to compete for the Bright Fruit.
At this moment, Lu Yilin, who had not raised his sign until now, also raised it.
Five million.
Upon hearing this, everyone present hesitated for a moment, after all, a price of five million was already quite high.
The Light Fruit can only be used on light-type characters below the high level, so it is only useful for mid-level and low-level characters. The offer of five million made some people hesitate.
"Five and a half million!"
However, there were still people present who wanted the Fruit of Light, and the auction continued with bidding.
"Six million." Lu Yilin offered a high price, and those who followed suit put down their bidding paddles.
At this moment, Lu Yuan raised the number plate in his hand and said, "Six million one hundred thousand."
Lu Yilin suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze landing on Lu Yuan's profile.
"Seven million!!"
He said through gritted teeth.
"Seven million one hundred thousand." Lu Yuan wasn't stupid or rich, so of course he wouldn't raise the price like Lu Yilin.
"Eight..." Lu Yilin wanted to raise his sign, but was stopped by Lu Mengyun next to him.
Lu Mengyun said, "This thing is useless to you right now, so there's no need to waste money on it."
Lu Yilin couldn't swallow this insult, but since his father had spoken, he had no choice but to obey.
"Congratulations to number 88." The auctioneer brought down the gavel and immediately ordered the arrangements to be made.
Ai Tutu exclaimed enviously, "He really is a landlord, so rich!"
Lu Yuan smiled, said nothing, and then proceeded to make the transaction with the people at the auction.
After several more items were auctioned off, the wind-type spirit seed that Mu Nujiao had been longing for finally came into the picture.
"This is a superior wind-type spirit seed, named Qingfeng, with its power nearly tripled."
The auctioneer said, "The starting price is twenty million, and each bid must be at least five hundred thousand."
Nearly a threefold increase!
Those who possessed wind-type abilities were extremely excited and immediately raised their paddles to begin bidding.
Mu Nujiao remained calm and was not in a hurry to bid against them.
When the token price reached 32 million, Ai Tutu helped Mu Nujiao hold up her number plate:
"Thirty-two million five hundred thousand!"
Even with such high prices, there are still competitors.
Lu Yilin looked at his father and said with a smile, "Dad, Mu Nujiao probably wants this wind-elemental spirit seed. How about we use it as a betrothal gift?"
"You little brat..."
How could Lu Mengyun not know his son's little scheme?
"I still have some spare cash saved up over the years, so I won't bid more than 40 million."
"Thank you, Dad!" Lu Yilin glanced at Lu Yuan, then joined the bidding.
"Thirty-six million!"
Upon hearing this, both Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu looked towards Lu Yilin.
"Sister Mu, this guy wouldn't be planning to buy the spirit seed and then threaten you, would he?" Ai Tutu's mind immediately conjured up the plot of the novel she had read.
"Thirty-six million five hundred thousand." Mu Nujiao raised her card for the last time; that was all the money she and Ai Tutu had combined.
"Thirty-seven million!" Lu Yilin raised the price again.
Enraged, Ai Tutu clenched her small fists and punched Lu Yuan's shoulder.
"Sister Mu's boyfriend, aren't you going to do something for her?"
