They had even put two advance samples of the "Beautifying and Skin-Nourishing Golden Wound Medicine" up for auction tonight! If they failed to obtain this thousand-year snow lotus, what would they deliver to the buyers?
At the thought that the Golden Wound Medicine and the Beautifying and Skin-Nourishing Golden Wound Medicine were still to be auctioned later, which would recoup part of the funds, Divine Physician Kang felt slightly reassured.
"A hundred million and one million!" Kang Jinglong stopped playing the big spender. Since they meant to have it no matter the cost, then they would raise little by little and see whether Fatty Lai had the patience to grind it out with them.
Once the price passed a hundred million, Fatty Lai could not help turning to look at Wei Zhao. In his view, the Kang family had essentially hit its limit. To give up now still felt rather unwilling.
"Boss, do we keep bidding?" Fatty Lai suggested in a low voice. "If that box really is that important, I think we should fight for it a bit more!"
"You can raise it a bit, just keep it under control." Wei Zhao nodded. With yesterday's earnings from the Life-Extending Detox Pill, he did not feel the sting of the money so much.
"You want that box?" Feng Xiaoxiao had overheard Fatty Lai and looked at Wei Zhao in puzzlement. "You don't want the thousand-year snow lotus?"
Wei Zhao had not intended to explain, but fearing Feng Xiaoxiao would make a scene and be overheard, he had to say, "What I want is the box on the outside, not the thousand-year snow lotus!"
"Huh? What do you want the box for?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Don't ask so many questions. I'll tell you when we're back," Wei Zhao said, unwilling to explain too much to Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Hmph, what kind of attitude is that!" Feng Xiaoxiao was a little displeased. "Hey, if I get that box for you, will you be my boyfriend?"
"You have a way?" Wei Zhao did not take up her offer, but asked instead.
"Of course!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded, then her eyes darted about. "Well? Yes or no?"
"What do you plan to do?" Naturally, Wei Zhao could not possibly agree to such a ridiculous proposal.
"Just leave that to me. If you agree, then it's a deal," Feng Xiaoxiao said, winking at him.
"Forget it, then." Wei Zhao shrugged. Agreeing to something like that just for the sake of a box was more than he could bring himself to do.
"Hmph!" Feng Xiaoxiao was furious and shot him a resentful glare. "Then from now on you're not allowed to ignore me. That much is fine, isn't it?"
"Talk to me once you've got the box." This time Wei Zhao did not object; now that Feng Tianlong was involved, he naturally could not simply turn a cold shoulder to Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Then you'll have to play along for a bit. Whatever I say later, you can't argue with it!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Fine." Wei Zhao nodded. Playing along for a while was doable, so long as she could get him that box.
By now, under the bidding of Fatty Lai and Kang Jinglong, the price had soared to one hundred and ten million! Neither was making large jumps anymore, raising it a million at a time, each waiting to see who could hold out to the end.
Kang Jinglong had just called out one hundred and eleven million when Fatty Lai bid one hundred and twelve million.
"That's about enough, let it go!" Hearing the price, Wei Zhao shook his head at Fatty Lai. He was not even certain whether this thing was the "Ten-Thousand-Year Spring Wood" written of in the ancient texts, so he was not set on winning it at all costs.
