illicit relationship

As Xiao Tian and the others were chatting, a gorgeous lady about twenty-seven years old walked towards the center of the hall elegantly.

Everyone instantly stopped talking and turned their heads towards the young lady.

"Miss Leng Nichang is as beautiful as ever."

"That's right."

"If only I were her husband, I would definitely smile in my sleep."

"As long as I can spend one night with her, I don't even mind if I lose ten years of my life."

"How can she be so beautiful and sexy like that?"

"Maybe because God loves her so much."

"That's right. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be so perfect like that."

Several men instantly praised Leng Nichang when they saw her walking towards the center of the hall.

Leng Nichang was clad in a white cheongsam. Her body was exquisite to the extreme, and her skin seemed so soft that it would break with a single touch. 

She was extremely alluring to the max. Her waist was as lithe as a water snake, and she was able to mesmerize people with a single glance.

She had a charming, misty look in her black eyes, a nose akin to jade, and a little mouth adorned with full red lips that were slightly curled upwards.

She gave off a feeling of absolute charm, to the point ordinary men would definitely fall for her the moment they saw her.

After Xiao Tian saw Leng Nichang, he instantly turned his head towards Lan Ruoxi, "She looks like you, extremely alluring to the max."

Lan Ruoxi giggled seductively before asking, "Hehe. So, do you want to bed her too?"

Xiao Tian returned his attention to Leng Nichang and replied, "Maybe."

Crystal, who was sitting on his right side, sighed after seeing his behavior.

'He is really a playboy!'

Of course, she was not surprised by his behavior because she knew that he was a playboy.

"Eh! Why are you sighing, Crystal?" Xiao Tian inquired,

Before Crystal could answer his question, Lan Ruoxi spoke, "She sighed because you always could not control your behavior every time you saw a pretty or sexy woman."

"Is that true?" Xiao Tian asked again.

Crystal did not answer his question, but she nodded her head, giving him a sign that what Lan Ruoxi said was exactly like what she had in mind.

"Well, I'm a healthy young man, so it's normal for me to behave like this." Xiao Tian made an excuse without feeling shy.

"There is a reason why Leng Nichang is the top auctioneer of the Sun Auction House." Lian Xun spoke abruptly. "It's because she is pretty, sexy and an expert at creating the atmosphere."

What Lian Xun said was right. Leng Nichang was an expert at creating the atmosphere.

Her glances and smile even could make the price of the item go up exponentially. It could be said that the atmosphere within the auction house was kept at a climax with her charming smile.

At this moment, Xiao Tian returned his attention to Leng Nichang.

'Well, I can understand why she is the top auctioneer of the Sun Auction House.'

Xiao Tian then skimmed his surroundings to see everyone's reaction.

Currently, Leng Nichang was using her charming voice to describe the item in her hands. Under the numbing and clear sound of her voice, the item had its price increased at an exponential rate.

Every time the price was raised, she would send a charming smile to the person who just called out the latest price.

And that person would forget their pain of overpaying for the item when they saw her charming smile.

After auctioning the latest item, Leng Nichang spoke with her charming voice. "Everyone, I'm sure all of you will also be interested in the next item."

With a wave of her hand, the waitress quickly brought up a sword that was placed in a beautiful wooden sword plaque.

The sheath of the sword was green in color, and the quillon was designed in the shape of a phoenix wing.

Like the sheath of the sword, the grip of the sword that looked like a phoenix head was green in color.

Due to how beautiful the sword was, anyone who had no idea about that sword would think that the sword was made for display purposes.

At this moment, Lian Xun instantly turned his head towards Xiao Tian and spoke, "Xiao Tian, that is the sword I want."

"Don't worry. I will get this sword for you later." Xiao Tian had promised to get the sword for Lian Xun, so he would not break his word.

At this moment, Lan Ruoxi looked at the sword with a sad face. Her seductive expression was nowhere to be seen, and her eyes were locked on the beautiful green sword.

"The name of this sword is Phoenix sword." With her delicate hand picking up the beautiful sword, Leng Nicheng's charming voice calmed everyone for an instant. "If someone had been roaming in the martial arts world for a long time, I believe they would definitely know about this beautiful sword because this sword is no ordinary sword. Yes. This sword is made of a rare material which is very difficult to obtain."

"What?! Phoenix sword?!"

"Is that the real Phoenix sword?"

"What kind of sword is this Phoenix sword?"

"This Phoenix sword is an extraordinary sword. Rumor has it that this sword is very sharp."

"That's right. If you clashed this sword against ordinary sword, the ordinary sword would break instantly."

"What?! Really?"

"Yes. This sword is pretty famous in the past."

"I remember that the owner of this sword is a beautiful woman who is also a genius in martial arts. What happened to that woman? And why is her sword being auctioned here?"

"I don't know."

"Is she in need of money?"

"Maybe."

Several people began to talk about the Phoenix sword.

This much surprised Xiao Tian. He did not expect that many of them know about the Phoenix sword.

At this moment, Xiao Tian started to understand the reason why Lian Xun wanted him to get the phoenix sword.

"In order to prove that this sword is the real Phoenix sword, we will clash this sword with an ordinary sword." after saying that, Leng Nichang looked at the waitress.

The waitress quickly walked towards Leng Nichang with a sword in her right hand.

*Cling…

Without wasting time, Leng Nichang clashed the Phoenix sword with the ordinary sword.

*Clang…

The ordinary sword broke in one clash.

"It's the real Phoenix sword!"

"Wow! That sword is amazing."

"I suddenly want that sword."

"Me too."

Several people instantly desired to get the Phoenix sword, especially martial artists who practiced the way of the sword.

"Now that I have proven that this sword is the real Phoenix sword, let's begin the auction." Leng Nichang spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "The starting price for this Phoenix sword is 30,000 Yuan and each increment must be at least 200 Yuan."

"30,200!" right after Leng Nichang's voice stopped, a person yelled out a price.

"30.400!" another price came right after the first price had been called.

The price quickly went up, and within a couple of seconds, it got to 100,000 Yuan. At this moment, Xiao Tian did not call out a price immediately, waiting for the small fry calls to stop.

The price went up again, but soon the voices died out when someone yelled out a price. "140,000 Yuan."

The person, who just called out a price, was sitting in the VIP area. He was about thirty-five years old with stitches on his left cheek.

He was a swordsman, so he desired to get the Phoenix sword. In his view, he would be much stronger if he could get the Phoenix sword.

Lian Xun looked at Xiao Tian and asked, "Why didn't you call out for a price yet?"

"I'm still waiting." Xiao Tian replied, "Don't worry. I will keep my promise."

Everyone who sat on the first floor instantly looked at the person who just yelled out a price. Even though some of them still could compete, but they did not want to offend that person.

They believed that the people on the second floor had a strong background because not everyone could sit on the second floor.

Xiao Tian turned his head towards Lan Ruoxi and inquired, "Lady Lan, do you know that person?"

"No." Lan Ruoxi replied as she shook her head. "I have never seen him before."

Lan Ruoxi knew many famous and influential people in Shanghai, but she had never seen that person before.

"Crystal, what about you? Do you know him?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"No." like Lan Ruoxi, Crystal also had no idea who that person was.

"It seems like that person is not from Shanghai or he came to Shanghai not long ago." Lian Xun tried to remember who that person was, but he still didn't know anything about that person.

'Well, because I can't remember him, I'm sure he is unimportant person.'

Lian Xun had roamed in the martial arts world and met many people, so he believed the person who just called out a price was only a side character because he could not remember that person.

"Mr. Wu Tang has bid 140,000 Yuan. Is there anyone that wishes to raise the price?" Leng Nichang inquired.

After skimming his surroundings, Xiao Tian suspected that no one would raise the price.

'Why don't they raise the price again?'

Xiao Tian was sure many people still could raise the price because 140,000 Yuan was nothing to some of them.

When Leng Nichang saw that no one responded, she grabbed the small hammer on the table.

However, when she was about to tap the small hammer on the table, Xiao Tian yelled out a price.. "150,000 Yuan."
