VOLUME 2: The Third Princess Overturns The World

CHAPTER 325: Phantom mirror (2)

'so did you finally figure it out?' Sheng Shi Jie curled his lips as he directly transmitted his voice to Yu Yue, making her almost jump.

'you know something?' she frowned while looking at Hai Xingze contemplatively. Everyone then realizes that something was indeed wrong with them.

'it should be the artifact called phantom mirror, it's good for creating illusions, and that kid is suitable for that thing. Don't worry it won't harm him since it's calling for him' he replied comfortingly.

'that's good to know' she sighed in relief. That must be why butler white didn't say anything else, how unreliable. Yu Yue thought.

Just when Tian Wuxian was about to say something, the auctioneer spoke.

"Our next item would be the phantom mirror; I know what you're thinking but this mirror isn't your ordinary one. Though, we don't know what it is and what it is used for. Several armament refiners tried to evaluate it but even they can't tell its level at all. We also tried breaking it but it didn't even leave a scratch, so bid at your own risk..." the auctioneer announced with enthusiasm as one of the beautiful ladies on stage stepped forward carrying a tray covered with red satin.

The audience gasps when the beautiful lady removes the satin, they saw a silver mirror lying quietly on the tray.

"as you can see, this mirror is extraordinary... the bid starts at 1,000 high-grade crystals" the auctioneer held the mirror and show it to everyone clearly, even Yu Yue was mesmerized. Though she wasn't much affected because of little Tear right beside her. She could even feel it when the mirror's breath spread to her it trembled slightly.

"2,000 high-grade crystals..."

"5,000 high-grade crystals..."

"10,000 high-grade crystals..."

"Yu Yue, let's made a bid quickly." Hai Xingze said nervously.

"oh, that mirror is really impatient. He better prays he's useful or I'll throw that thing in the mud pit" Yu Yue said meaningfully and hHai Xingze quickly snap out of it. He looks at everyone confusingly as they all look at him oddly.

"that mirror is playing with you..." Zhuang Lan kindly told him everything and Hai Xingze's obsession dwindled. He was actually scared of a mirror for the first time.

"Yu Yue... I-" he was about to say 'I don't want it anymore' but the moment he said something else. "I-I want that mirror." he said with wide eyes, staringly blankly at Zhuang Lan. At first, he half believed him but now he's truly scared.

"scared now? Don't worry I'll get it for you" Yu Yue smiled at him teasingly before ignoring him.

"..." Hai Xingze looked at her pitifully.

"20,000 high-grade crystals..." the bidding continued and the price quickly skyrocketed as many young ladies from big clans liked it so much the moment their eyes landed on the mirror.

"30,000 high-grade crystals..." Liu Yan's crisp and sweet voice resounded, immediately shutting up those whose about to bid.

"30,000 high-grade crystals once, twice..." before the auctioneer could finish the countdown after making sure that no one was making a bid anymore, Si Xiao Xiao's teasing voice dropped.

"50,000 high-grade crystals" she bids generously, directly adding 20,000 making other people feel pain. They never knew anyone who could easily waste 50,000 high-grade crystals for just a mirror. Although it's extraordinary and exquisite, no one even knows if it has any practical use aside from fueling someone's vanity.

"who's in room number 3, is she an idiot it's just a mirror?" someone couldn't help but mutter curiously.

"hush, didn't you see the people from jade moon palace enter that room earlier?" his friend reminded kindly in a hushed voice but everyone could hear it with their cultivation.

Liu Yan just frowned but she didn't say anything as she continued to bid making other bidders shut up. "60,000 high-grade crystals"

"70,000 high-grade crystals" just right after her voice drops, Tian Wuxian's cool voice drops making even the crown prince's brows furrowed tightly.
