NOVEL NEXT Chapter 159
Chapter 159: The Auction Begins
The exotic flowers supplied by foreign lands can only be owned by Emperor Xia.
The rare poultry supplied by foreign lands can only be owned by Emperor Xia.
Especially when Fei Fei saw those two Holy Infant Fruits, she was completely stunned.
This is something that countless geniuses from various sects have sought after but never obtained. Even if they showed up with spiritual stones in hand, the royal family wouldn’t sell them.
The only way to acquire this treasure is through the grace of Emperor Xia. It is already quite impressive for a major sect to get their hands on just one.
And the fact that a prince can secure one also proves that Emperor Xia places a high value on this prince.
But now, Qin Bei casually pulls out two to auction off?
Just how many of these Holy Infant Fruits does Prince Bei have in his possession?
Has his status in the royal family risen to such an extent?
Is he already the crown prince?
No way—he hasn’t even been announced as the Prince of the Four Seals yet! How could he suddenly become the crown prince?
Besides, Fei Fei believes there’s no way she wouldn’t be aware of such explosive news.
So what’s going on now?
How did Prince Bei manage to secure two Holy Infant Fruits?
Did he rob the Holy Infant Tree?
No way~~~ Prince Bei may be reckless, but he wouldn’t go that far, right?
It shouldn’t be possible…
Fei Fei thought to herself, but slowly began to doubt her own reasoning.
Because the items she saw next were even more outrageous.
Perhaps these items weren’t worth as much as the Holy Infant Fruits, and many seemed like things ordinary cultivators could afford.
But value aside, the significance of these things was downright terrifying.
The most absurd thing was that Fei Fei actually saw a bed…
Now that was something else. She had been working at the auction house for quite a while and had seen clothes being auctioned. Those were made from unique materials, so it was quite normal to feature them in an auction.
But this was the first time she had witnessed a bed being auctioned, and the material was exactly average.
However, after taking a closer look, Fei Fei discovered the bed’s extraordinary aspect.
Hiss~
“This is actually…. Dragon?”Seeing the dragon pattern on the bed, Fei Fei gasped, Gulu~ as her beautiful neck seemed to roll in disbelief.
She now understood why Qin Bei had inquired so curiously when he came to her for the auction.
These items weren’t just scarce. They weren’t merely things only the royal family could possess.
These were evidently things that only Emperor Xia could have.
And most importantly, the majority of them belonged to Emperor Xia himself.
What Fei Fei found most outrageous was a clothes hanger.
Qin Bei seemed worried she wouldn’t recognize it, so he even left a note beside the hanger.
“The hanger used by Emperor Xia to store dragon robes, there’s only one—can’t be found randomly! Buy this, and you’ll hit the jackpot!”
Fei Fei: …
This advertising line is so professionally crafted!
Moreover, Fei Fei felt a unique aura emanating from it, the same as that from the bed.
In other words, Qin Bei wasn’t lying; this truly was Emperor Xia’s possession.
Finally, Fei Fei also laid eyes on the calligraphy and paintings.
After careful analysis, she reached a conclusion.
These artworks are exceedingly rare and worthy of being treasured.
When she saw some of the calligraphy was signed by Qin Wuhen, Fei Fei didn’t immediately recognize the name.
But upon seeing the seal, she knew.
Isn’t Qin Wuhen the current Emperor Xia?
This name was quite renowned a thousand years ago.
“Well! This Prince Bei really knows how to throw us a curveball at the auction!”
At this moment, Fei Fei had reason to suspect that Qin Bei had raided the palace. Of course, it was also possible he had stealthily taken these items.
These are already Emperor Xia’s personal belongings, now all displayed in the Cosmos Bag.
“How in the world do we auction these?”
Fei Fei was at a loss.
If what Qin Bei presented were merely items offered to the royal family, auctioning them wouldn’t be an issue.
After all, Qin Bei is a prince, a royal family member—he’s got connections to get his hands on these items, right?
But now, what in the world are these?
They are all things only Emperor Xia should possess.
How on earth do I introduce them during the auction?
And how do I explain the origin of these items?
If we truly auction these off, wouldn’t that be challenging Emperor Xia’s authority?
Finally calming down, Fei Fei realized that if this matter wasn’t handled well, Langya Auction House could encounter serious trouble.
She couldn’t decide on her own and needed to consult the manager of the auction house.
The conclusion was to ask Qin Bei for his opinion.
The message was clear. This Prince Bei is undoubtedly a potential powerhouse. Though auctioning these items could lead to complications, if they could keep the trouble minimal, the auction house wouldn’t refuse.
The best way to minimize issues is to transfer the potential problems to Qin Bei.
As long as Qin Bei agrees, the auction house will go ahead with it.
At that point, the auction house wouldn’t offend either party.
In the Heavenly Grade Auction Room, after listening to Fei Fei’s words, Qin Bei understood the auction house’s intentions.
“Don’t worry, just proceed with the auction. I’ll take on any issues that may arise afterward. I’m still young, I can handle a beating!”
Qin Bei said nonchalantly.

After all, the deed is already done; Qin Bei won’t have regrets.
His only thought right now is to get those auctioned spiritual stones as soon as possible.
Let his spiritual stones achieve freedom, of course, along with krypton gold points.
When that time comes, what punishments can he possibly not endure?
Hearing Qin Bei’s nonchalant tone, Fei Fei instantly gained confidence.
So, she didn’t hesitate any further and began to arrange the auction of these items.
I must say, there are simply too many items, and the originally allocated auction time isn’t nearly enough.
Fei Fei could only conduct batch auctions for similar items.
In the Heavenly Grade Auction Room today, Qin Bei was the only person present.
Ji Zhuyue and Mu Zhaoxue had been busy preparing ever since learning they could enter the Royal Tomb.
They weren’t interested in this auction.
After all, even though these items seem great to low-level cultivators, to someone like Ji Zhuyue, a female emperor undergoing re-cultivation, they didn’t amount to much.
Looking at the densely packed crowd below, there were noticeably more eccentrically dressed individuals this time compared to last.
Most of them were foreigners permitted to enter the Royal Tomb for trial.
There were also many groups wearing the same attire.
These were all disciples from major sects.
Among them, Qin Bei spotted familiar clothing—the disciples of the Sword Sect.
