[MXTX] Three Times the Love

Chapter 55 - This is Too Boring

Ghosts watched the hairpin with greedy eyes.

Out of everyone present, Hua Cheng understood the most about the emotions running in every ghost. The ghosts had their eyes bloodshot, as they were unable to take their eyes off of the phoenix feather.

"1,001 yuan!"

"2,000 yuan!"

"5,000 yuan!"

Screams piled in the auction house, while the three couples stood in the back, watching all the choruses and bidding play out.

"Shizun," Luo Binghe wrapped an arm around his lover's waist, "If Shizun wants the hairpin, this disciple will gladly bid for it."

Shen Qingqiu smacked his lover on the head with his fan.

"Idiot. I don't need any hair accessories." He fumed. Besides, they were saving money to bid for the Strongest Sword! Nobody has time to pay attention to the other goods!

In the end, the Phoenix hairpin was sold to a ghost, at the price of 10,000 yuan. The money was given, and thus, the bidding continued.

The ghost host walked around. Her yellow cheongsam dress swayed to her hips.

"The second goods is this priceless mirror!" On the table was a mirror. Although it looked ordinary at first sight, in closer inspection, the design of the framing was exquisite. The frame was carved with curvature lines, untamed, and yet rolling along like roots digging in soil.

The ghosts seemed uninterested in this mirror.

"This mirror may not look like anything special," the ghost host smiled, "But it is actually one of a kind. By staring into it long enough, the user's appearance will change accordingly to what they imagine."

"Thus, this mirror is named the Body-Changing Mirror."

Hearing that, the ghosts' interests were piqued. They began the bidding, and many prices came up. The bidding price increased exponentially.

In the back, Bo Fan nudged Yi Ran, "Hey, aren't you afraid you might look ugly? Want to give it a go?"

Yi Ran glared back. "Fuck off." She turned to Nu Wang, "Tie him back up for me."

Without hesitance, the female ghost did as she was told.

Turning back to the bidding process, the Body-Changing Mirror was sold to a businessman ghost, at the price of 25,000 yuan. The money was given, and the bidding continued.

As many goods were sold to many ghosts, there were only a few goods left...

And one of the few...

"Let us see the final goods." The ghost host smiled. Everyone rose in anticipation. This was the ancient artifact that attracted everyone across the globe...

The ghost host's face suddenly changed. "Assistants! Carry up the final goods!"

All of a sudden, a large noise clamoured in the backstage. There were messy footsteps, resounding throughout the wooden stage. Heavy boots clambered, with the sound echoing within the stadium. After some time, the audience saw a bunch of ghosts. This group of ghosts were carrying something large altogether, covered in a black carpet.

Once they set the the large object covered in carpet on the stage, a loud BOOM crashed.

"It's heavy..." Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered.

The ghost assistants ran back offstage, but their eyes never left the final goods. It was clear that they also had greedy intentions.

"I shall uncover the final goods." The ghost host smiled.
