After a few more hours of waiting, the handsome middle-aged man finally began descending to the Minor World. And the moment he did, everybody locked their attention onto him. He smiled, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start off by apologizing for the delay. The amount of guests that had arrived previously had shocked even me, and I had to spend a week wandering the Starry Sky in order to find a better location. Next, I would like to thank all of you for being here, it means a lot to me--- and my wallet---" The smug on his face grew even wider as he said that, making people frown left and right. "Now, before I start this history making event, it should be noted that I do not care about your status here! As long as you have the money, you can partake in this auction! Do you have any questions for me before we kick this off?"
"...."
"...."
Silence.
Seeing how everybody stared at him with daggers on the verge of shooting out, he shrugged and finally said, "Good! Then let us begin! As you all know, I am known as the God of Art, Huan Yishu! I am here today to auction off the most peerless art piece I have ever created--- yet! The 9th and probably the last Painting of Desire!"
After finishing his sentence, Huan Yishu sliced the space in front of him with his bare hands. The space started ripping apart as if it was a mouth, and a moment later, something wrapped in red cloth was slowly being pulled out.
The moment this red object came out, an invisible pressure suddenly slammed down on every single individual watching. However, instead of panicking, the majority of them had a wide smile on their face. They watched as the clothed object was slowly being pulled out, and as it came out, their heart also began beating faster.
One second, two seconds, three seconds. Every second felt like another eternity. They had waited for an entire week yet it did not feel as long as these few seconds!
Boom!
The moment the clothed painting was fully displayed, gasps could be heard from every direction.
"H-Holy... It's that big?"
"My Mother, the other eight was the size of a regular painting, yet this one... This one can fit an entire wall!!"
Many girls began drooling before they could even see what was behind that cloth! They can already imagine walking into their room with the painting greeting them!
"He...Hehe...Hehehe"
Weird laughs could be heard, but nobody even bothered to see who was making these weird noises and continued to stare at the clothed painting as if they are trying to see right through the cover!
Huan Yishu laughed inside his heart. 'What foolishness. Would I be stupid enough to cover it with something so random that you can just see through it with your Techniques---?!'
*Cough*
*Plop*
A shout suddenly resounded, "Ahhhhh! Someone suddenly collapsed with blood coming out of their nose!"
"What?" People began to look at the direction that voice was coming from to see a peerlessly beautiful middle-aged girl on the floor with blood flowing out of her nose like a waterfall.
"T-That's the God of Divine Techniques, Lady Nuo! There's a rumor that she has mastered all Divine Techniques that has ever existed! Why did she suddenly collapse like that?!"
A girl next to the collapsed Lady Nuo suddenly dropped onto her knees and picked Lady Nuo's head up. "Senior Sister Nuo! What happened?!" She spoke to her as if she was holding a half dead body.
