Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 377: Concession

Translator: 549690339

To be honest, Wenwen really didn’t want to address Jiang Xiaobai in this manner.

It’s not just because they, the Medicine King Sect, have to plea to an outsider, which is somewhat humiliating.

But even more, after her experience of asking Jiang Xiaobai for help for the first time in the dense forest, she genuinely didn’t want to do it again.

She harbored a great deal of resentment towards Jiang Xiaobai and was quite annoyed.

However, even if Wenwen wasn’t willing, she had to do so today.

Even though the Medicine King Sect brought out as many as 300 million spirit stones this time, anyone could tell from the previous actions of Jiang, this dog-like thing, that 300 million wouldn’t be enough.

It was known that Jiang Xiaobai would spend a fortune to get something he wanted, and it seemed that he was not short of money at all.

Previously, he was so reckless with his bidding, and Gu Leng did not stop him at all, which indicated that Gu Leng genuinely believed in Jiang Xiaobai’s financial resources.

So Wenwen had no choice but to address Jiang Xiaobai reluctantly, not wanting to waste too much money, and even more, not wanting this Qian Yuan bone-mending herb to fall into anyone else’s hands.

This elixir could potentially save the life of an elder of the Medicine King Sect.

With mixed feelings in her heart, Wenwen looked at Jiang Xiaobai with complex eyes. The disciples of the Medicine King Sect were visibly displeased but powerless.

And yet, Jiang Xiaobai simply squinted his eyes.

The first time he met them in the dense forest, he didn’t take them seriously, but now he could see the prestige of the Medicine King Sect.

He didn’t want to go too far and genuinely offend the Medicine King Sect.

After all, such a pill refining force was highly regarded in the martial arts world; anyone would want to curry favor with them. If the Medicine King Sect were to call for help, probably a lot of people would come to their aid.

Jiang Xiaobai was just here to cause trouble for the Gu clan, and he didn’t need to offend too many people.

“So that’s how it is.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Wenwen and nodded, “In that case, I can only part with it reluctantly. Good treasures should indeed be left to the people who need them the most.”

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect certainly didn’t expect this response.

They had hated Jiang Xiaobai’s previous behavior so much that they all thought he would purposely make things difficult this time.

But now it seemed that Jiang Xiaobai was actually pretty helpful.

Wenwen looked at Jiang Xiaobai with surprise, but quickly filled with gratitude.

In this way, the Qian Yuan bone-mending herb would have one less terrifying competitor. In other words, the Medicine King Sect was set to win it.

At this point, Wenwen looked gratefully at Jiang Xiaobai, “Thank you, Void Prince. We, the Medicine King Sect, are deeply grateful for your kindness!”

“If Void Prince needs our Medicine King Sect’s help in the future, we shall not refuse.”

Wenwen’s attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai made a complete 180-degree turn, and she was full of curiosity about him.

Of course, now was not the time to ponder over this. After persuading Jiang Xiaobai, Wenwen was full of anticipation looking at the stage.

The surrounding spectators remained silent. If a character like Jiang Xiaobai had withdrawn, why should they strive to compete?

Although Qian Yuan bone-mending herb was a highly valuable herb in the ranking of rare elixirs, everyone knew better than to offend the Medicine King Sect for just an artifact.

Therefore, no one bid on the price, and Wenwen raised the price to 70 million.

For a moment, Gu Leng on the auction stage was not in a good mood.

If it were not for this incident, the price could be at least tens of millions more.

However, thinking of Jiang Xiaobai, a wealthy patron, who had contributed so many spirit stones to the auction house, Gu Leng’s heart was rather satisfied.

Giving the Medicine King Sect a favor was acceptable.

Bang!

Immediately, Gu Leng’s hammer hit the table, declaring the deal.

The many disciples of the Medicine King Sect felt as though a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts, successfully completing the most important task of this trip without any trouble.

At the same time, Wenwen gave Jiang Xiaobai a look of gratitude.

The previous minor resentment was nothing compared to the current favor he had done.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t take it to heart, still sitting lazily in a chair, sipping tea while watching the ongoing auction with interest.

After the Qian Yuan bone-mending herb, the quality of the auction items had increased significantly, making the subsequent treasures appear extremely valuable.

If Jiang Xiaobai truly planned to bid fair and square, his previous behavior would have exhausted all his resources.

Fortunately, he did not do so.

If he needed more spirit stones, he could make them in minutes using the Earth Vein Record, so there was no need to worry.

Hence, whenever Jiang Xiaobai took interest in any item, he would bid for it.

However, unlike before, the quality of the items up now had greatly improved, and Jiang Xiaobai had spent lavishly on quite a few things before.

Everyone thought his spirit stones were running out, so they started bidding directly against him.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t push things too far; unless it was something he really wanted, he would usually bid a couple of times and let it be. If he got the item, it was good; if not, it was fine.

As a result, Jiang Xiaobai’s interest dwindled significantly, and he appeared more and more relaxed.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai felt the auction might not be interesting, Gu Leng suddenly gave everyone a mysterious smile.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have five more items up for bidding, by now, I’m sure you all realize that these are the grand finale.”

“No more suspense, let’s bring the treasures out!”

The moment Gu Leng’s words fell, the entire room fell silent, and everyone stared intently at what was on stage.

A servant girl stepped forward, with several strong men behind her lifting a huge iron cage. When the red cloth covering the cage was lifted, many people gasped.

In the cage was a captive woman!

She had a cold countenance, her clothes were tattered and dirty, and there were wounds all over her body.

What was even more shocking was that she was bound by eighteen iron chains. The chains were made of special material and completely immobilized her within the cage.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but cast puzzled looks at Gu Leng.

Normally, other auction houses would auction slaves as well, and everyone wouldn’t make a fuss about it.

But things were different now. The woman was one of the last five auction items in the grand finale. Was it really appropriate to bring out a slave at this point?

“I know what you all are thinking, but I think the discerning ones among you have probably figured out what this is.”
