Chapter 36: He’s My Type
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanran felt a wave of shyness. She lowered her head, not daring to meet his burning gaze.
At this moment, she felt as if she had fallen into a wolf’s den, her heart filled with unease.
But her heart was also filled with gratitude. Regardless of whether Su Chen was teasing her or not, at least he was treating her well, and that was enough.
——————
Ye Fan glanced towards Private Room “Wu,” a hint of sinister killing intent flashing deep within his eyes. He thought to himself, “Su Chen, I hope you know what’s good for you.”
“One hundred and ten million high-grade spirit stones!”
After making his bid, his heart felt a bit tense. He had to obtain this Dragon Pearl, no matter the cost.
But he only had a total of one billion and ten million high-grade spirit stones on him.
This amount of spirit stones, in the eyes of an ordinary person or even those from mid-level families, was an astronomical sum, a fortune they could never earn in their lifetime.
But who was Su Chen?
He was the Young Master of the Su Family, the most powerful family in the Donghua Region, and their sole heir.
This amount of spirit stones might be like a grain of sand to him, not worth mentioning at all.
“Two hundred million high-grade spirit stones!”
As expected, just as Ye Fan’s voice fell, Su Chen’s voice rang out once more.
“Two hundred and ten million high-grade spirit stones!”
Ye Fan gritted his teeth, a determined look appearing in his eyes. He wouldn’t give up!
“Ye Fan, you can’t compete with Su Chen.”
Xiao Ruoyu, who was at the side, finally couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up to advise him, “Just let it go.”
There was absolutely no need to compete with the wealthy and powerful Su Chen over a Dragon King Pearl. Xiao Ruoyu had also heard a little about Su Chen’s character.
In the Donghua Region, as long as it was something that could be obtained with money, Su Chen had never lost to anyone.
“Shut up, it’s none of your business!”
Ye Fan glared fiercely at Xiao Ruoyu and shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu frowned and said, “I’m just trying to give you some friendly advice. Fine if you don’t want to listen.”
Her thoughts were simple, without any complex motives.
Although she didn’t like Ye Fan, he was still a friend she had spent a few days with. Seeing him so stubborn, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic.
“Sister Ruoyu, you can’t reason with a fool who’s courting death. Just let him be.”
Xia Qingxue, who was beside Xiao Ruoyu, said with a cold expression, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Just as Ye Fan was about to confront Xia Qingxue, Su Chen’s voice rang out again from Private Room “Wu.”
“Five hundred million high-grade spirit stones!”
At this moment, the entire auction hall fell into silence. Even Ye Fan couldn’t help but gasp.
This Su Chen was clearly targeting him.
His heart pounded violently, his face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He was desperately trying to suppress his murderous impulses.
“Five hundred and ten million high-grade spirit stones!”
He nearly bit his teeth off as he forced himself to announce the price.
His entire body was trembling violently, clearly on the verge of collapse.
His eyes were bloodshot, like a gambler who had gone mad at the gambling table.
“Hehe.”
Su Chen’s lips curled into a sneer. “It seems that Xiao Tiancheng has given you quite a bit of spirit stones.”
His tone was somewhat mocking, as if he was ridiculing Ye Fan’s arrogance.
“This Young Master is in no mood to play with you anymore. Let’s end this!”
A wicked smile appeared on his lips. He waved his right hand. “One billion high-grade spirit stones!”
Whoosh!
The entire auction hall erupted in an uproar!
One billion high-grade spirit stones!
Pfft~
Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. He stumbled, his face pale and his body weak, and collapsed onto the ground.
◈◈◈
He never dreamed that Su Chen would be so crazy!
One billion high-grade spirit stones!
It was as if it was just a number to Su Chen, not even the slightest effort.
At this moment, his heart was filled with utter despair.
He knew that he couldn’t compete with Su Chen.
This guy was a devil!
He could no longer control his emotions.
“Hehe. Sister Ruoyu already said you couldn’t compete with my husband, but you wouldn’t listen.”
Seeing Ye Fan’s miserable state, a flicker of delight crossed Xia Qingxue’s eyes.
At the same time, she felt fortunate to have married such a powerful man like Su Chen.
“Hahaha!”
Seeing that there was no response from Ye Fan in Private Room “Hai” for a long time, Xiao Qiu knew that he had reached his limit. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Trash, idiot! Daring to compete with the Su Family Young Master for something, you’re simply delusional!”
Hearing Xiao Qiu’s triumphant laughter, everyone’s expressions froze.
“What?! The important figure in Private Room ‘Wu’ is the Su Family Young Master of the Donghua Region!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I was wondering why the mysterious person in Private Room ‘Hai’ didn’t dare to bid anymore. It turns out they’ve kicked an iron plate. With the Su Family’s power in the Donghua Region, it’s useless no matter who comes.”
“Sigh, the Su Family Young Master is too powerful. To casually take out one billion high-grade spirit stones like this, it’s truly terrifying.”
“Daddy, I heard that the Su Family Young Master’s position as the main wife is still vacant. Wouldn’t it be great if I could become the Su Family’s Young Madam?”
“The Su Family Young Master is young, wealthy, and I heard he’s very picky about choosing people.”
The crowd’s flattery and praise for Su Chen poured into Ye Fan’s ears like a demonic chant.
He felt like a joke, toyed with by Su Chen.
I am the Son of Destiny, what is that Su Chen? A piece of s*it.
Just a good-for-nothing born into a top-tier family!
Heavens!
Why are you so unfair!
I, Ye Fan, was born with the Eye of Double Pupils, my talent far surpasses Su Chen’s by leaps and bounds. Why do you still make me endure such humiliation and pain!
He hated!
He hated the injustice of the heavens!
He hated his ill fate!
He was not convinced!
He was not resigned!
His fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, blood dripping down. He raised his head, his gaze dark as he stared at Private Room “Wu,” a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.
“Sigh.”
Seeing Ye Fan’s expression, Xiao Ruoyu sighed and shook her head, a hint of pity appearing on her face.
Su Chen’s actions had left a deep shadow in Ye Fan’s heart. It would probably be very difficult for him to recover.
As Ye Fan’s blood flowed past the ring on his right index finger, it emitted a faint white light.
Then, with a flash of white light, it burrowed into his body.
The expression on his face changed slightly, his lips trembling as if he was trying hard to restrain something. Finally, he calmed down and stabilized.

Inside Private Room “Ding.”
“Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect this little thief to be quite interesting.”
Mu Yuqing, lying lazily on the bed, stretched languidly. A hint of brilliance flickered in her beautiful eyes. “I didn’t expect him to be so domineering at such a young age. He’s my type.”
After she finished speaking, she licked her alluring red lips.
Her skin was as fair as jade, her complexion as white as snow. Her legs were long and slender, her figure curvy and incredibly hot.
Only her soft, black hair was a bit messy, giving her a somewhat charming and seductive air of a courtesan.
