Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1282 - 944: Auction, Shuang Jiang the Enchantress!
Is it her fault that she has so much misfortune? Is it because she enjoys it?
In Gu Changsheng’s heart, she actually rejected it! Really rejected it!
Zhou Mu heard his little woman’s words, and his lips immediately curved slightly. He rubbed her pretend-pitiful cheek and said with a smile, "Life’s a hundred years; if everything was as expected, step by step, it would be boring. I think life now is pretty good—we never know what will greet us the next moment."
When Gu Changsheng heard this, she instantly blinked her eyes.
How could she not hear the comfort in her evildoer’s tone?
In her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a little touched.
Her evildoer was not one to sweet-talk often, yet he always managed to say the most touching words at the moments she needed comfort the most, as if unintentionally!
And she, she couldn’t help but fall deeply for this sudden sweetness!
"Evildoer, having you by my side is the greatest gift heaven has given me!" Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and said with considerable gratitude.
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Mu’s deep eyes, like ancient pools, suddenly gleamed, and the aura around him turned warm like spring, the chill no longer present.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Changsheng’s tone took a turn. She raised her hand to pat the small table in front of the auction seat and said confidently, "Thus, the reason I have so much misfortune is probably because heaven regrets giving me such a good man like you. But for your sake, I’ll endure it—misfortune or not, maybe I’m just Monk Tang? Who knows, I might even achieve some sort of positive outcome, become an immortal or a Buddha?"
Reality is harsh, but the ideal is plentiful.
In the face of harsh reality, please allow her to dream a little; otherwise, she’d feel life is uninteresting!
Gu Changsheng said teasingly.
"Oh, you!" Zhou Mu, who was moved by his little woman’s words a moment ago, now found himself helpless in the face of her joking around. He chuckled softly and shook his head.
While Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng were whispering to each other, the female auctioneer Shuang Jiang, along with the undercover pawns, had almost tidied up the messy auction house. How quick their actions were!
As one of the commanders of Liaodong’s hidden guards, Shuang Jiang was naturally voluptuous and charming, with a rather captivating presence, like a glance that could enchant, making her undoubtedly the most dazzling sight among the men-dominated auction house. Many young men almost couldn’t hold themselves back, drooling at the mouth!
Gu Changsheng was beautiful too, but she was beautiful in her slender figure and delicate body. As for her face, wasn’t she wearing a half-mask? Can’t see it, right?
Moreover, after the series of commotions earlier, everyone present, in a show of unity, believed that the fierce woman sitting in the front auction seat—even if she was the Nine Heavens Fairy descended to the mortal world—they swore they wouldn’t spare her a second glance!
Too dangerous!
They didn’t have the nerve to take that risk!
It’s still better to look at the female auctioneer, who’s meant to catch the eye and be looked at, with absolutely no hidden dangers discernable!
So a pair of wolf-like eyes followed Shuang Jiang’s movements, without blinking, their lustful intentions all too clear.
And Shuang Jiang, being someone adept at dealing with various situations, had long been used to such scenes. Therefore, she continued to do what she was supposed to do, completely unfazed by the stares around her—after all, she wouldn’t lose a piece of flesh, and the auction was meant for her to be the eye-catching figure standing on stage, to capture everyone’s eyes!
So, regardless of what kind of looks you’re giving, as long as their eyes are following her, that’s good!
The auction house, initially wrecked from the chaos, quickly returned to its original state thanks to Shuang Jiang and the undercover pawns, leaving Gu Changsheng with no choice but to admire Wang Buer’s orderly management. Just this crisis response awareness, just this reaction speed—placed in modern times, he definitely has the potential for crisis management public relations!
Finally, the display on the auction stage was reset, and Shuang Jiang, dressed in a vivid red gauze, showcasing her voluptuous figure, enchantingly led a group of maidservants onto the auction stage.
The moment Shuang Jiang appeared on the half-zhang-high auction stage, countless men below immediately brightened their eyes.
The earlier coveting was one thing, but now openly watching was another matter, especially with Shuang Jiang on high ground, putting her entirely in view, giving those below an eyeful, their lips involuntarily trembling, throats gulping.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Licheng City’s Dark Market and the once-in-five-years Border Pass Auction. I am the auctioneer Shuang Jiang for this event. This auction will be led by me to show you what the treasures of heaven and earth really are!" Standing on the auction stage, Shuang Jiang waved her jade arm, and the maidservants behind her holding trays immediately stood apart in order behind her...
With a mesmerizing smile on her face, Shuang Jiang looked at the guests present and said with a smile, "It’s said that good food isn’t afraid of being late. This auction house has experienced quite a few twists and turns, and I’m fortunate enough to have shared the shine with you all—to witness a peerless master of the Conquest Realm in my lifetime. So, my heart is still pounding! Haha..."
While speaking, Shuang Jiang covered her lips with her sleeve and lightly laughed.
Below, upon hearing her playful laughter, the crowd couldn’t help but laugh along, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed and casual.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonderment, inching closer to her evildoer and murmuring softly, "Where did Wang Buer find such reinforcement? A complete natural beauty!"
Look at how she adjusted the atmosphere, with just a gentle smile, it’s like turning a page, brushing past the prior chaos.
Just this skill to turn the clouds and rain with a flip of the hand makes Gu Changsheng can’t help but give a thumbs up in his heart!
When a master makes a move, you can instantly see whether they’re truly skilled or not. This natural marvel named Shuang Jiang definitely excels in capturing people’s hearts!
High!
Really high!
Such high skill, coupled with her enchanting beauty, makes Gu Changsheng, who has always been enamored by beauty, blink starry eyes repeatedly, quite tempted indeed!
"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s fate that brings us together from afar to meet. Seeing me with such burning eyes like wolves, yet I am not so oblivious—I know well that you have gathered here from afar not just to take a glance at me..." Standing on the high platform, Shuang Jiang charmingly and coyly says, then with a twist of words, turns her slender jade hand to point at the row of maidservants standing behind her, and giggles, "What your hearts truly desire are these treasures behind me..."
"No way, meeting you makes this trip worthwhile! Absolutely worth it, haha!"
"Indeed! We’ve long heard that the auctioneer at this event is the finest person in Liaodong, and today seeing her, she truly lives up to her reputation!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the audience immediately burst into a clamor.
Hearing this, Shuang Jiang on the platform covered her lips with a smile, saying charmingly, "You flatter me, but I can’t let these precious wonders of the world behind me collect dust—I can’t bear that sin!"
Upon saying this, Shuang Jiang’s voice suddenly takes a serious tone, her seductive face gaining a streak of solemnity, speaking softly, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must already know the rules of the auction: the treasures will belong to those offering the highest bids. Let’s see who will be the true hero and take the treasures home, depending on how skillfully and generously you bid!"
"I was invited here by an old friend to host this auction, and it is an honor to be acquainted with all the heroes present. Once the auction concludes, I shall certainly prepare fine wine and delicacies to drink and feast with all the heroes present, not stopping until we are thoroughly merry!"
Saying this, Shuang Jiang saluted the audience with a bow.
"Excellent!"
"Excellent! What a phrase, take the treasure home, and if one can take the beauty home as well, that would truly be a blessing spanning Three Lives!"
"What a splendid feast, truly deserving of Liaodong’s finest person, charmingly captivating indeed!"
"Splendid..."
"..."
The audience immediately erupted with cheers.
Sharp-eyed as Gu Changsheng is, she quickly spotted some undercover pawns mingling in the crowd, who had just served her food and guarded her during meals...
Their faces are quite familiar, but now they have changed attire, pretending to be Itinerant World’s people or wealthy gentlemen, mingling among those bidding, leading the uproar...
Are these...
Shills?
Recognizing these people, Gu Changsheng’s mouth immediately twitched! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Wow, professional indeed!
She truly got to experience what it means to be a professional water army!
This Shuang Jiang is a wonderful person, and Wang Buer’s arrangements—how could they not thoroughly understand the psychology of the bidders, so professional indeed?
Seeing the shills in the crowd stirring the atmosphere, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched a few times, and a crisis awareness unwittingly rose within her.
"Evildoer, this auction is bound to be thrilling. Wang Buer becoming the Hidden Guard steward in Licheng City—besides his orientation being slightly off, he is truly skilled in management!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but say.
"Hmm." Zhou Mu naturally also noticed the familiar faces hidden among the crowd and nodded.
"I hope they have some sense. If they dare to bid against us for something we’re after, I swear I’ll strip them and hang them atop the city wall!" Though Gu Changsheng hasn’t attended many auctions, she has seen a lot and learned from many libraries in her previous life—not for nothing. She’s fully aware of auction manipulations and price inflating tactics!
"I don’t think they’ll be so oblivious, haha..." Zhou Mu gently chuckled upon hearing this.
"Indeed, indeed." Gu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.
As the atmosphere below reached an unprecedented liveliness, Shuang Jiang on the platform saluted again and continued speaking...
