Chapter 636: Chapter 238: Resurrection_4 Chapter 636: Chapter 238: Resurrection_4 Ding Lin bent forward slightly and shook the unconscious girl’s hand, “Wake up, wake up!”
The girl’s eyelids fluttered, her hands at her sides moved slightly, and several girls watched carefully.
Her curled lashes, her eyes gradually opened, revealing a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes like autumn waters, captivating the breath-held won with their gaze.
Ding Lin also didn’t speak for a good while, then regaining her senses, she whispered, “What is your na? How did you end up being sold here?”
The girl’s eyes were still sowhat bewildered as she looked at everyone, her mind a blank slate. What was her na? She seed to have forgotten?
She tried hard to rember, as if soone once called her Feng? Who was she?
Seeing the girl’s confused and vacant eyes, the won exchanged glances, and Ding Lin hesitantly asked, “You… do you not rember who you are?”
The girl nodded, her sweet, delicate voice speaking up, “I can’t rember, it’s like… soone called Xiao… Feng.”
Ding Lin was taken aback, “Could it be that your surna is Feng?”
The girl nodded then shook her head, “I don’t know.”
Ding Lin shook her head, a look of sympathy in her eyes. This girl was even more pitiful than herself, not even rembering her own na. Could she have been kidnapped and sold to the Dark Cabinet?
“We can’t always address you by your last na, if you don’t mind, can we call you Feng Bai, is that okay?”
Although the girl was wearing red, she couldn’t be called Feng Hong. Noting the girl’s fair and delicate beauty, Ding Lin thought it’d be better to call her Feng Bai, simple and pleasant to the ear.
“Feng Bai sounds pretty; we’ll call you Feng Bai!”
The other girls all agreed, shouting in unison.
Feng Bai nodded. It didn’t matter what she was called; after all, she really couldn’t rember her own na. It seed like soone really did call her Feng in her mind, but whenever she tried to rember, it was a blank slate. She only felt as though a flash of white light had made her lose consciousness.
Feng Bai propped herself up from the bed, glanced around, the room was quite large, with several beds lined up next to each other, and the decorations were not bad.
“What is this place? How did I end up here?”
Feng Bai withdrew her gaze to Ding Lin in front of her, Ding Lin shook her head, “Do you really not know anything? This is the Dark Cabinet. You, like us, were sold into the Dark Cabinet, awaiting auction.”
Dark Cabinet? Auction? What did those an? Feng Bai was confused!
She had been sold here? She seed to have woken up once before, hazily seeing a man, but then the man seed to have knocked her out, and when she woke once more, she was here.
The auction at the Dark Cabinet took place on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth of each month, and tonight was the second auction of December.
In the darkness, the city lights glimred beautifully and brilliantly; the Dark Cabinet began at eight o’clock at night, and those entering the Dark Cabinet all needed an exclusive invitation.
Inside the Dark Cabinet, the décor was glittering and splendid, with a large stage in the center, below which were around twenty tables, surrounded by ten VIP rooms.
By eight in the evening, the Dark Cabinet was already packed with people, Manager Bai stepped onto the stage, the lights shining on her, while other guests each wore masks to hide their identities.
“Good evening, distinguished guests, and welco to the Dark Cabinet auction,”
Manager Bai held the microphone, smiling as she looked around, all tables were filled with people, and for today’s auction, all the VIP rooms were also full. Those who could trade from the VIP rooms were all big shots in the city; she had to treat them carefully.
“I won’t say much else, as everyone knows the rule of the Dark Cabinet. Now, let’s start with the first auction item.”
As soon as Manager Bai finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam ca up from below the stage with a long box in hand, stood at the center of the stage, and opened the box, revealing a long Treasured Sword before everyone. The hilt of the sword was inlaid with a shimring gem engraved with a Golden Dragon in flight, and the blade, forged from Mysterious Iron, shone with a faint cold light.
“This is the Dragon-patterned Sword wielded by Emperor Qi Ming of the Qi Dynasty, with a starting bid of three million, each incrent must be at least five hundred thousand.”
Everything in the Dark Cabinet was rare and valuable, including this Dragon-patterned Sword, which was a prized spoil by a Tomb Robber and sold to the Dark Cabinet.
“Three million five hundred thousand,” a masked man at table number one raised his bid paddle.
“Four million!” a man at table number five raised his bid paddle.
“Five million.”
“Six million!”
Manager Bai, with a smile, watched the bidding from the stage until the Dragon-patterned Sword’s price reached eight million before it ended.
One hour later, the auction at the Dark Cabinet had reached its climax, which included high-level funerary items from a Tomb Chamber and so land obtained by the Dark Cabinet. In any case, the Dark Cabinet auctioned off anything; as long as you wanted it, the Dark Cabinet could auction it, but of course, the price was very steep.
