Chapter 974: 40 Billion
In the eyes of the people from Country D, even the wealthiest existence in Dragon Country is only worth a few billion.
And after this auction, Ye Feng spent so much money, which already surprised everyone. They simply couldn't believe that Ye Feng could come up with more money, thinking he wouldn't be able to compete for the Chi Xiao Divine Sword.
Princess Meier frowned, not expecting that Princess Meier would directly bid two hundred billion.
Princess Meier continued to shout, "Two hundred and thirty billion!"
"Two hundred and sixty billion!" This time, Mier also frowned, clearly showing that Princess Meier was determined to win.
However, Princess Meier still refused to give up. She had long known that the finale item of this auction was the Chi Xiao Divine Sword. Princess Meier learned that her fiancé, Prince Char, was about to comprehend the second conception and become a Half-step Divine Realm powerhouse. Therefore, Princess Meier wanted to obtain the Chi Xiao Divine Sword as a gift for Prince Char.
After hearing the price of two hundred and sixty billion, Princess Meier was still unwilling to let go and continued to bid, "Two hundred and eighty billion."
For anyone present, this was already a sky-high price, but neither Princess Meier nor Mier had any intention of giving up, showing signs of continuing to raise the bid.
And Ye Feng also felt clever. Fortunately, he had subdued Dark Sky; otherwise, with just the three hundred billion that the Old War God had prepared for him this time, he really wouldn't have been able to buy the Chi Xiao Divine Sword.
"Three hundred billion!" Mier shouted loudly. Three hundred billion was the limit he had prepared this time. He couldn't do more.
Princess Meier also felt very troubled. Given her abilities and status in the family, she could mobilize about three hundred billion, but thinking about it, for her fiancé, for her prince charming, Princess Meier still didn't give up, gritted her teeth, and continued the bid, "Three hundred and twenty billion!"
Mier felt a headache, calculating all of his fortunes, then once again provided a higher price, "Three hundred and sixty billion!"
This was still the limit that Mier could offer, and it was only possible after borrowing money from people in the family. More than that, Mier had no other way.
Princess Meier also frowned and began calculating her own assets, finally managing to shout out her final price, "Three hundred and seventy billion!"
Instantly, everyone fell silent, filled with shock internally. After hearing this price, Mier's face turned ashen, and he looked very disappointed.
Seeing Mier's expression at that moment, a smile appeared on Princess Meier's face because she knew that Mier could no longer compete with her; the Chi Xiao Divine Sword was hers.
But the auction host was extremely excited. They originally thought that the Chi Xiao Divine Sword selling for over two hundred billion would be quite good, but they didn't expect both Princess Meier and Mier to want it so much.
Now the price directly shot up to three hundred and seventy billion.
The auction host loudly asked, "Three hundred and seventy billion, Princess Meier bid three hundred and seventy billion. Is there anyone who will offer a higher price?"
The people at the auction all fell silent, their eyes revealing helplessness as they lowered their heads.
Don't even mention three hundred and seventy billion; even thirty billion, not many among them could provide.
"It seems this finale treasure belongs to Princess Meier this time..."
Almost everyone concluded that the Chi Xiao Divine Sword belonged to Princess Meier.
"Four hundred billion!" At this moment, a voice clearly transmitted to every corner of the room.
Everyone heard that voice clearly, and they were all stunned, their eyes filled with shock.
They couldn't comprehend or believe it, turning towards the direction the voice came from.
And Princess Meier's smile vanished completely, replaced by anger and coldness.
Indeed, the one who offered such a high price of four hundred billion was none other than Ye Feng!
At this moment, Ye Feng was holding a Blazing Fire Spirit Fruit, which had just been auctioned off. While eating it, he glanced at the Chi Xiao Divine Sword, appearing completely at ease, as if four hundred billion was not money to him, just a string of numbers, not worth his concern.
Seeing Ye Feng's composed demeanor, everyone was dumbfounded.
"You again!" Suddenly, Princess Meier's eyes flashed with frenzy.
This wasn't the first time Ye Feng had contended with her for something. Every time Princess Meier thought an item was hers, Ye Feng would step forward, offering a higher price to buy the item she liked.
At this moment, Princess Meier's face looked extremely unpleasant, her eyes shooting murderous intent. If looks could kill, she would have killed Ye Feng a million times over.
Princess Meier wished she could immediately rush to Ye Feng and tear him to pieces, but she simply wasn't Ye Feng's match, especially with a Legendary Great Perfection royal powerhouse by Ye Feng's side, making Princess Meier quite helpless.
"Four hundred billion, did I hear correctly?" Everyone at the auction was stunned, utterly unable to accept it, and everyone wore grim expressions. Ye Feng completely overturned their perception of people from Dragon Country.
They simply couldn't imagine it—four hundred billion—what a concept! Even the five major royal families couldn't easily come up with that much money. Their assets might be close to a trillion, but they couldn't mobilize that much money freely.
A trillion in assets and a trillion in liquid funds are entirely different concepts.
Throughout Country D, there aren't many people who can casually spend four hundred billion to buy something.
But now Ye Feng offered such a high price, leaving everyone completely stunned.
"How is this possible? How could this be? Wasn't he out of money?" Everyone found it hard to accept.
However, Ye Feng remained calm and composed as ever, taking out another Spirit Fruit from earlier, continuously stuffing it into his mouth, swallowing it, and transforming the power within the Spirit Fruit into his own force.
This time, Ye Feng obtained five Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures similar to the Xuantian Spiritual Fruit at the auction, helping Ye Feng accumulate the power needed to break through to the Divine Realm.
