627 Chapter 627 Humiliating Someone Is An Art.

Usually, whether she was aware of it or not, there used to be a dominant and a submissive part in relationships. Despite these words’ different nuances, they weren’t really a good thing or a bad thing; it was just the way things were. To begin with, these roles could vary greatly and completely change in a healthy relationship depending on the setting.

The average person was always more inclined towards one of these two roles. In Fei Long’s case, she used to be the dominant part of their relationship, and Xiauyue was the submissive part. It wasn’t a matter of respect or love; it was just the mechanics of their relationship. However, on infrequent occasions, Xiauyue could be pretty domineering and assertive, as she was on this occasion.

Even Claire, Sasha, Revna, and Cecilia had to admit that Xiauyue looked pretty cool while she was acting haughty. That Xiauyue was humiliating, someone she might as well have “I’m an asshole” tattooed on his forehead gave her extra points.

On Fei Long’s side, she looked like a maiden that had first fallen in love. Other than looking on with admiring eyes and flushed cheeks, Fei Long didn’t feel the urge to do anything else. She was perfectly fine with keeping quiet this time and letting Xiauyue kick some ass.

As a neutral party in all of this and one who was frankly oblivious to all the conflict taking place, Qiqi, the auction host, did the only thing she could do in a situation like that: she did her job. “It seems that VIP Room 6 has offered two billion spirit coins, a rather staggering sum that still doesn’t quite do this magnificent armor justice. I hope someone here has really deep pockets to compete because otherwise, the lady from VIP room 6 will get this armor almost for free.”

Although her provocations were far from the best, the truth was that Qiqi didn’t need to make any effort to promote the armor being auctioned off, in the same way that she didn’t need to do anything to encourage the conflict taking place.

As expected, Bai Sairong couldn’t keep his mouth shut after the barrage of insults. “I’m afraid Miss Xiauyue is talking nonsense. How could it be possible for a woman to be happy without a man? Such an act goes against nature. I didn’t think you and Miss Fei Long were that kinds of deviant, but you don’t have to worry; I can fix that.”

Even back on earth, the ignorance in Bai Sairong’s words was worthy of much indignation. One could only imagine what kind of response he received at an auction organized by a sect that strongly advocates free love and defends that right with quite a bit of violence, one might add. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

The way the environment turned hostile in a split second told Bai Sairong that he had screwed up heavily with his comment. Nonetheless, he was the immortal golden tiger; apologies were below him. “Since Miss Xiauyue is questioning my ability to satisfy a woman, I’m afraid I must show what I’m capable of. Three million spirit coins, I won’t let anyone say that Bai Sairong can’t provide for a woman.”

.....

As expected, Bai Sairong’s retrogressive mentality didn’t earn him goodwill or even a smile from anyone in the auction room, but he didn’t care about that. All she wanted was to humiliate Xiauyue and Fei Long in front of the eternal war maiden sect. Since violence had to be ruled out due to the security of the auction, Bai Sairong would humiliate them using money.

Bai Sairong’s mistake was quite obvious. Putting aside that he didn’t really deny any of Xiauyue’s arguments or insults, the problem was that he had completely forgotten who he was talking to.

“To think that out of all the things you would choose to compete against me, you would use the money. I’m not sure if I consider you brave or foolish, Mr. Sairong. On second thought, I thought you have no brain at all, and that’s where the problem comes from. Although seen from another point of view, at least you don’t try to compete with me on how to please a woman, or I’m afraid of leaving you without wives or concubines.” Xiauyue commented with her mouth full of scathing and sarcastic words.

Not wanting to get into trouble with either the auction house or the host, Qiqi, Xiauyue remembered to add. “Though when it comes to being able to provide, I didn’t think I was short of skills, five million spirit coins.”

The sudden increase of another two billion spiritual stones stifled all discussion in the auction house. Despite the item involved, the price was already reaching levels that no one else could compete with. While the show was not over, it had clearly become a two-person show, Xiauyue, and Sairong.

Furious at all the insults and innuendo, Bai Sairong could barely keep his cool as he offered again. “Six billion spiritual stones.”

Qiqi didn’t get to make any announcements when Xiauyue’s reply came. “It seems that the legendary golden tiger’s ability to bid is like his manhood, tiny. Ten billion spiritual stones.”

Putting aside the way Xiauyue insulted his manhood again, for her to make another increment, this time of four billion, was too absurd, even for someone as fucking rich as the golden tiger. “Bitch, this time, you’ve screwed up. How dare you bid with money you don’t have. You are not afraid of the consequences of trying to swindle the Eternal War Maiden Sect?”

The older woman who had brought the armor onto the stage frowned at Bai Sairong’s irresponsible comment; she did not take kindly to hints that her sect was easy to fool.

Almost as if she had read the older woman’s mind, Xiauyue responded with a mixture of mockery and scorn. “Ladies and gentlemen, behold the living proof that being a jerk is very hard work that requires a lot of dedication. Otherwise, how could the legendary immortal golden tiger be so ignorant? In the Eternal War Maiden Sect’s auctions, you cannot bid with funds that have not already been verified with priority.”

In addition to clearing up the unfortunate misunderstanding that her opponent tried to cause, Xiauye still added. “I understand that Mr. Sairong is stupid as a stone but try not to drag us into your misunderstandings. Well, now that I think about it, you, too, are as poor as a stone; otherwise, you wouldn’t be here whimpering like a child without a mother to nurse you, and you would have already made a better offer in its place.”

Even a cucumber freshly crushed by a meteor would know that Xiauyue was furious at Bai Sairong’s presence and initial insults. There wasn’t a single thing that came from Xiauyue’s lips that weren’t an insult towards Bai Sairong; she was brutal and relentless in that regard.

To top it off, Xiauyue should have some sort of super sense in this case since she seemed to be able to target all of Bai Sairong’s complexes and endlessly humiliate him. Unable to keep quiet any longer, Bai Sairong put his remaining funds into the auction to regain some of his pride by obtaining the armor. “Eleven billion spiritual coins.”

Bai Sairong’s satisfaction didn’t go far, as Xiauyue’s voice soon reverberated through the auction house. “If that’s all a starving, lustful dog like you has, I’m afraid you’ll have to line up to kiss the ground my dear Fei walks on. Fifteen billion spiritual stones.”

With Bai Sairong defeated due to the disparity in bids, no one was left to fight with Xiauyue for ownership of that armor. Soon, below Qiqi’s excited eyes, tonight’s main auction sold for an absurd fifteen billion spiritual stones, undoubtedly the highest price ever fetched in the auction house’s history.

At the time of being declared the auction winner, Xiauyue heard some compliments from the hostess Qiqi, an opportunity that Xiauyue took to rub salt in the wounds of Bai Sairong’s asshole. “You don’t have to be so enthusiastic, Miss Qiqi. Those were just a few pennies I had with me, nothing special. Like I said before, this is just a gift for my fiancée. I’m afraid I’d feel like the most ridiculous and stupid person in the whole world if I couldn’t even buy my fiancée a gift. I’m sure Mr. Sairong would agree .”

Unable to take any more insults, Bai Sairong decided to force both girls to respect him, a downright stupid move, especially when he tried to execute it only to realize that at some point, that older woman with a hammer on her back had appeared back on stage, looking in the direction of Bai Sairong quite disdainfully.

As noted earlier, despite his fame, Bai Sairong never messed with anyone he couldn’t beat, so as soon as the older woman showed up to announce some formalities regarding the armor acquisition, Bai Sairong decided to settle the matter there.

Of course, deep down, Bai Sairong had already decided to play dirty and make Xiauyue and Fei Long miserable in the future. Oblivious to Bai Sairong’s machinations, both Xiauyue and Fei Long finished listening to the older woman’s boring speech, after which the armor was handed over to them. With that, although two other sections of the auction remained, Claire and the rest left the auction house not interested in the rest of the event.
