Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: The First Auction Item
How could she not understand Lan Xuanyuâs intention? This was clearly a gesture of allegiance. Her bloodline was now indisputably the first among the Dragon Clan; almost all the Dragon Knights would be interested in it. The Sky Dragon Leader even felt threatened by the height of her bloodline. Offering a drop of Original Essence Blood for the Sky Dragon Leader to studyâwhat did that mean? It meant "she" was indicating that she had no intention of vying for power with the Sky Dragon Leader. At the same time, it allowed the Sky Dragon Leader to verify if her bloodline was beneficial, and if so, she could help the Sky Dragon Leader evolve.
In this way, the Sky Dragon Leader had no reason to act against her. Even if she didnât break through to Ultra Divine in the ten-year agreement, it would not affect her status or position.
What a clever girl! She had a touch of the style of her younger self. Not bad, not bad at all.
Zhang Chujia had always liked Lan Xuanyu; otherwise, she wouldnât have said those things to Jiang Weiqiang. After hearing her expression, she was very satisfied and couldnât help but admire her secretly. Even if she couldnât reach the God King level in the future, having her inherit her lineage to control the Dragon Clan would be no problem at all. She might even do better than Jiang Weiqiang.
According to the normal lifespan of the Dragon Clan, Jiang Weiqiang had about a thousand years left at most, and with the help of Lan Xuanyuâs bloodline domain, perhaps even longer. But how old was Lan? "She" was just a newborn dragon. This means that if Jiang Weiqiang died of natural causes, "she" would have at least three thousand more years of life to represent her lineageâs rule over the Dragon Clan for three thousand years or more.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chujia patted her hand and said, "I understand your intention, goddaughter. Weâll talk about this later. Donât worry about the bidding. All my savings will be yours in the future, not that rascal Weiqiangâs."
Lan Xuanyu respectfully said, "Then Iâll respectfully follow your command, godmother. Thank you."
"Good child." Zhang Chujia glanced at Jiang Weiqiang on Lan Xuanyuâs other side. Jiang Weiqiang knew they were communicating through mental transmission but couldnât hear what they were saying; he was somewhat curious. From his motherâs expression, she seemed even more satisfied with Lan. Why did his mother look at him as if he wasnât living up to expectations?
However, if they were to ask him to divorce his wife, that probably wouldnât work. Maybe he could just marry another and keep her on Sky Dragon Planet. Anyway, his original spouse wouldnât easily leave the Dragon Realm. As long as he acted discreetly, there shouldnât be any problems, right?
At this moment, an auctioneer had already stepped onto the auction stage. This was a graceful woman with lake-green hair draped behind her; she looked about thirty years old, exuding nobility and elegance. A diamond-shaped emerald scale was in the center of her brow, indicating she was an upper-rank Dragon Clan member.
It should be noted that there were fewer females in the Dragon Clan and even fewer beauties. This was the first time Lan Xuanyu had seen one.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Minxuan of the Sky Dragon Clan, and I will be hosting todayâs auction. The number of items in this auction is very large, so it will be conducted over three days. Once the auction begins each day, attendees may only enter, not leave. If you leave the auction hall, you will lose the qualification to bid on that day. I ask all bidders to take note. Now, letâs start with todayâs first auction item."
There was no excessive embellishment; the bidding began directly.
Several members of the Blue Sea Tribe pushed a cart onto the stage, and something covered by a red cloth rested on it. Being the first auction item of the day, it was naturally very important, as the price of the first item would often determine the price trend that followed.
In the private box, Zhang Chujia asked Lan Xuanyu beside her, "Girl, what do you think todayâs auction prices will be like?"
Lan Xuanyu said, "The winning bids should be higher than usual, likely significantly higher."
"Oh? Why is that?" Zhang Chujia asked with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu said, "There are mainly two reasons. Whether the auction is successful depends on both the auction items and the purchasing power of the bidders. Our Dragon Horse Grand Auction undoubtedly has the top items in the entire galaxy, so they wonât be bad. Moreover, today is filled with the leaders of various tribes. The second reason is the threat of the Deep Red Realm, which could appear at any time. Once in a state of war, resources will be needed by everyone. Taking advantage of this grand auction to stockpile some essential resources is beneficial for all tribes, so they naturally wonât be stingy."
Zhang Chujia nodded and said, "Yes, thatâs probably the case." As she spoke, she picked up the number one bidding paddle beside her and handed it to Lan Xuanyu. "Use this paddle to bid later. It wonât be expensive."
Lan Xuanyu was taken aback and couldnât help but glance at Jiang Weiqiang sitting on his other side.
The Sky Dragon Leader nodded and smiled at her knowingly.
With the number one paddle, it indeed wouldnât be expensive. Who would dare to bid against the Sky Dragon Leader?
This was even more useful than their identities as Shrek students at the Shrek City auction.
"Thank you, godmother."
At this point, all the Dragon Knights naturally understood that Zhang Chujia was siding with Lan! Her status and position were simply too high. Among the Dragon Knights present, more than twenty of the old and new combined, no matter what they thought in their hearts, could only look on helplessly.
Zhong Zhichangâs expression was calm, while on the other side, the Sky Dragon Leader maintained a faint smile on his face.
He could certainly sense the subtle atmosphere in the private box. His mother was truly formidable! Compared to her, he was far inferior. Moreover, whatever she did, no one could say a word against it.
By now, Lan Xuanyu had also completely calmed down. He was ready to deal with anything. Anyway, he was now the favored one.
The reason he had proposed to Zhang Chujia to offer his blood essence before was for multiple considerations. The first point was the certainty that even if his blood essence was obtained, it could only stimulate the Sky Dragon Leaderâs bloodline, being effective only for a short time. Helping the bloodline evolve was simply impossible. Therefore, he wasnât afraid of the Sky Dragon Leader obtaining it.
Secondly, it was the safest guarantee for himself, ensuring that the Sky Dragon Leader would have significantly less intent to act against him. Without Zhang Chujia, he wouldnât have done this; he would have preferred if the Dragon Knights were divided into opposing factions. With Zhong Zhichang and the othersâ protection, he wouldnât be in danger for the time being.
But now Zhang Chujia gave him this opportunity, allowing him to build a justified relation with the Sky Dragon Leader, even making Zhong Zhichang and others view it as inevitable.
With war against the Deep Red Realm possible at any time, facing powerful enemies in such a situation, it was hard to predict what might happen if the Sky Dragon Leader targeted him; conversely, if he leaned towards protecting him, his safety would basically not be a concern.
Thus, gifting this drop of blood essence was a declaration of his stance, and it also ensured his safety. What he needed most now was timeâtime for the Dragon Godâs bloodline to truly grow. Although he had gathered many life-preserving means, each additional level of security provided more safety.
Even now, when facing a Super God-level powerhouse, the opponent might not be able to kill him.
"Todayâs first auction item is our offering of sincerity from the Dragon Clan." The auctioneer, Zhang Minxuan, smiled as she spoke. As she did, she had already uncovered the red cloth.
The moment the red cloth was lifted, a gasp filled the crowd.
It was an egg, a gigantic egg, over two meters long, with a green body faintly flashing with dragon patterns. It was unmistakably a dragon egg!
Itâs known that the reproduction of the Dragon Clan is a challenging matter. Every member, even the lower-rank Dragon Clan, is highly regarded. Taking a dragon egg as an auction item is unprecedented. This must have been authorized by the Sky Dragon Assembly; otherwise, with so many Dragon Knights present, auctioning a dragon egg would be courting death!
