ing place, who would still use the dirty water left in the mountains.No matter how pure the spring water is, after flowing through such a long channel, it's impossible for it to become clear without s...The fact that the mother-son worm duo's shared pain ability becomes redundant when they both take it is rather pointless.

Who would share their pain with others for no reason

The guests in the audience weren't all fools either, as soon as the auctioneer finished introducing the item for sale, they began to bid.

The starting price for this pair of mother-child centipedes was one hundred taels. Despite the hype from the stage, there were only a handful of bidders below.

It is probably not going to sell for a very high price in the end.

Fang Jinxiu is also uninterested and does not intend to hold a sign.

"The zǐmǔgū made its final bid, one hundred thirty taels each."

"One hundred and thirty ounces, twice."

"One hundred and thirty taels."

One hundred and fifty taels.

Suddenly, a customer from the back room raised a sign in the last second. Fang Jinshu instinctively looked over and was surprised to find that the person who bought this useless pair of gu worms at the end was the elite from the second floor.

When she saw who was holding the sign, her expression froze again.

Zhao Xingzhou didn't show his face, the sheer curtains on the window were all drawn down. He only stretched out one hand, holding up a sign for a few seconds, and then retracted it.

The auctioneer was quite disappointed, the first bid was a complete failure. In previous years, a pair of mother-child gu would have at least fetched seven or eight hundred taels.

I didn't even manage to get onto the list this year.

If we could have twenty more taels, that would be great. The official quickly agreed to the terms.

In fact, no one else was competing with Zhao Xingzhou for this, and he finally sold the pair of mother-child gu at a price of one hundred and fifty taels.

Fang Jinshu couldn't help but wonder, what was this person going to do with the mother-child gu

Soon the second item was brought up for auction, another useless trinket.

Fang Jinshui wasn't very interested.

To be honest, the first two auction items were pretty boring. Even the audience seemed bored. Could it be that the most valuable and practical thing at this auction is her wind chime

Fu Ming yawned out of boredom.

"Isn't this supposed to be a once-in-a-decade auction In ten years, their auction house just takes back these junk"

Fang Jinshu agreed with this statement quite a bit.

"Everything is quite rare and unusual, but it's not very useful."

"As long as it's rare, someone will buy it out of curiosity." Fang Jinshu reached out with her pale fingers to take the teacup, took a sip, and her eyes lit up.

The auction house's items for sale are pretty boring, but the tea is really good.

She immediately held the teacup to Zongyu's mouth, "Ayu, try this tea."

When there's something good, you should share it with your beloved husband, right

He did not reach out to take the cup. Instead, he bowed his head directly to where Fang Jinshi had just drunk from and finished the tea in the cup in one gulp.

This kind of interaction seemed commonplace to the couple, but Fu Ming on the opposite side found it extremely distressing.

"I say, you two, this isn't your marital bedroom. Perhaps you could consider my feelings"

Fang Jinshu put down the quilt and smiled silently, "Mr. Fu can turn his head."

Fu Mingqi felt a knot in his throat, he was just about to say something.

That's right.

He immediately steered the conversation back, “Who would be so foolish to spend hundreds of taels of silver out of curiosity for something useless.”

Fan Jinyu raised her eyelids, "Young Master Fu, want to make a bet"

"What are you betting on"

"Let's just bet on whether the things on the table can be sold."

Fu immediately said, "Of course it wouldn't sell. This auction item is even more useless than the last one, the mother-son Gu, it will definitely be unsold."

Fang Jinshi then shook her head, "No, I bet it will sell."

Fu Ming immediately chuckled and shook his head, though the game had just been set, he felt deep down that he was sure to win.

"Everyone attending the auction is someone of standing. They wouldn't be as foolish as commoners."

Take even the lowest-ranking merchants here, they can thrive in business and must be intelligent. How could they not be

"Congratulations to Guest Number 13, this second auction item has been sold for five hundred taels of silver!"

Fu Ming incredulously stretched half his body out the window, his face flushed red, wanting to yell at the idiot downstairs.

What use is five hundred taels of silver for Buying such a dead thing back home for what!

Fang Jinshu's voice sounded faintly beside him, "I won."

Fu Ming was taken aback, then immediately turned his head away unhappily, "I lost."

"But we didn't seem to have made any bets just now, did we Even if I admit defeat, what difference does it make" Fu Ming thought about this and became smug again.

Fang Jinshi smiled ambiguously, her chin resting on her palm as she stared at him. The look in her eyes made Fu Ming break out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, it's because you didn't have time to place your bets, this...this isn't my fault, is it"l when she fell.As expected, the anticipated pain did not appear. Zong Yu indeed caught her first, his expression still a little tense as he asked."How could you be so careless, where did you fall"Fan...
