Tales Of Demons And Gods - The Rise Of Chen Long

In the VIP both of Hong Yue auction house. I was surprised to see Nie Li. Huyan Lanruo immidiately disappeared from our both and appeared next to Nie Li hugging him.

Making a lot of people in jealous of Nie Li.

"A-aren't you from the divine family!" said Nie Hai.

"Yes! My name is Chen Long 2nd son of Chen Zhenlong! And this is my Older brother Chen Linjiang! It is a pŀėȧsurė to meet you!" i said

"Ah yes! Lord Chen Long, I am Count Nie Hai Patriarch of the heavenly marks family! And this is Nie En the enforcer elder of the family! It is an honor my lord!" - Nie Hai

"Please omit the lord part elder Nie Hai! Me and Nie Li are friends. As long as your good to him, then everything is all good!" i said

"Same here! Nie Li is very useful in the tomb exploration i did! And since he is a friend of my brother, then he is a. friend of mine!" - elder bro Chen Linjian. "Oh yeah, that annoying octopus that has her tentacles around Nie Li is my chilhood friend Huyan Lanruo!"

Nie Hai and Nie En was very shocked that Nie Li have major family big shots as friends. They are lost for words.

The other aristocrat family from other booths suddenly came to our side of the VIP booth and tried to introduce themselves to us but I said I wasnt interested.

"I don't talk to people who are rude to my friend!" - I declared.

Nie Li smiled. And tried to convince Huyan Lanruo that he already have someone that he loved.

"Hey elder brother Linjian! Are you not jealous that your girlfriend is hugging someone else!" - i joked loudly to my elder brother.

"You!" He got mad at me and hope Huyan Lanruo did not hear me.

Huyan Lanruo suddenly appeared next to elder brother and hugged him while he resisted.

"Uuuh~! You love me! Girlfriend am i you girlfriend now!" - Huyan Lanroa

Elder Brother looked at me angrily.

I just looked away while whistling.

I went to Nie Li's booth and sat next to Nie Li. We just talked about how life was and what has been happening.

Nie Hai and Nie En was very stiff, afraid of offending a major family. I kept telling them to relax, my family don't discriminate any household.

I found out that 2 of the guest helped the Heavenly marks family during the time they were suppressed by the sacred family.

I met with the 2 patriarch. They are Chi Feng the patriarch of the Tian Kui family and Li Yuan patriarch of the Li Yuan family.

I gave them my family seal token, stating that if they are in any trouble then come find me. I will do whatever i can.

They were very grateful to me but especially to Nie Li for introducing them.

After it is known that Nie Li has big connections. The other aristocrat families started to apologize to Nie Hai for their rudeness. Some of them even left before the auction starts. So Nie Li doesn't have to overbid ridiculous amount for trash items just to show he has money. Leaving my elder brother a chance to bid on stuff on a fair price.

The auction starts....

"350...400...500..650...900! going once! twice!"

"SOLD! For 900 demon coins to #31 Chen Linjian!" - auctioneer

"2nd item...3rd item...4th item...!" - auctioneer

"SOLD to #32 Nie Li!" - auctioneer

"SOLD to #31 Chen Linjian!" - auctioneer

"SOLD to #32 Nie Li!" - auctioneer

"SOLD to #31 Chen Linjian - auctioneer

These 2 won every bid. Its like a contest. Other bidders were getting restless. Then the auctioneer brang out cultivation pills to auction. Both of them did not bid at all.

Everyone in the crowd saw that they were not bidding and started to take the chance to bid in their price range.

Nie Li smiled and pass them an interspacial ring and told them a ridiculous amount of different cultivation pills.

Nie En was shaking while holding the ring, the value of the stuff inside was phenomenal.

"That is nothing! I have the same amount one of my rings!" i said, and toss it to them.

"Consider it for looking after my friend here!" i said.

Both was shaking now. The value in their hands can make some major family cry.

"24th item is a gold rank suit from the snow wind era. In the suit, is a scarlet flame tiger demon spirit. The demon beast are all extinct. So this item is one of a kind item. The starting bid will be 60,000 demon coins!" - auctioneer

"Hahaha! Eat that Nie Li! Hahaha!" - Linjian

"I wanted that! But you told me the last item starts at 8 million. I have to have enough money for it!" - Nie Li

"That's right! And I can't help you this time because elder brother Linjian might borrow money from me for that item! So,Sorry Nie Li!" i said

"It's okay! I'll figure something out!" - Nie Li

"25th item...26th item...!" - auctioneer

All major families started pouring in. Including the Alchemy ȧssociation director Yang Xin.

"Why is director Yang Xin here! Isn't she supposed to be busy handling the alchemy ȧssociation?" - i said

I whispered to him. "Can you trust her?"

He nodded. So I arrange for Nie Li to introduce us later.

"Our last item today is a mysterious pot that has a strange aura. Do not be fooled be it's appearance. This pot strengthen demon spirits. It is said that anyone training their demon spirit near the pot, get a sudden boost of strength of demon spirit." - auctioneer

Everyone gasp at the importance of the last item. Some started borrowing money aleeady.

"Nightmare demon pot..." Nie Li whispered

"The bidding will start at 8 million demon coins. We will now take a 30 minute break to allow people the time to acquire monetary amounts for the last item. Thank you!" - auctioneer.

Nie Li got up and head to director Yang Xiu. My brother barged in.

"Brother Long! How much demon coins you have with you!" - Linjian

"I only brang 50 million demon coins!" i said

I bid farewell for now to Nie Hai and Nie En. And went back to my brother's VIP booth.

Nie Li came back smiling. I already know he made a deal with directir Yang to get the item.

The bidding started

"20 million!" - stranger with heavy disguise

"30 million!" - director Yang

"35 million!" - Linjian

And the 3 kept on bidding trying to outbid each other.

"Hey Nie Li! That guy with the hat and disguise. I think he's from the dark guild!" i said to Nie Li in the small opening between booths.

"I think so too! We cant let them win the bid! Let us combine our reasources if my brother or director Yang cannot afford it!" i said

We both agreed, watch the show of the bidding war.

"100 million demon coins" - Chen Linjian

It was silent for awhile, then

"110 million demon coins" - stranger with disguise

My brother sigh as he sat down giving up on the item.

"125 million demon coins" - director Yang

Everyone was silent, waiting for the next bid that seems like eternity

"125 million going once...going twice..."- said th auctioneer, while looking for further bidders.

"SOLD! For 125 million demon coins to bidder #75 Yang Xiu!" - auctioneer

"This concludes today's auction. On behalf of the Hong Yue auction house, We thank you for attending. Please have a safe trip home!" -auctioneer.

"Uugh! I cant believe I lost!" yelled Linjian. "Hey Long you didn't bid on anything?"

" Yeah! Nothing really catched my eyes! I was just curious of the last item, but it didn't impress me much!" i said.

"Hey big brother! Nie Lie's family is inviting us to their home! Wanna check it out!" i said

"Uu! Uu! I'm in! I'm in!" - Huyan Lanruo

He sigh."Well, you heard her! Once she put her mind on something, she wont stop till she gets it. And i am always dragged along for some ride most of the time!" - Chen Linjian
