Chương 212: Auction of Five Centuries
Quickly catching up to Jian ashen who was walking the same way drunk men did, Xiao Meilin hugged him from the back and said, "I was just kidding you know. You don't have to take my words so seriously."
Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, "That's not it, so you can go back."
"Stop acting as if you are carrying the weight of the entire Mortal Realm on your shoulders boy. Whatever your troubles are, I'm sure that they aren't hard to solve."
"Just... "
"I'm not leaving you alone, so you might as well tell me what your problems are. Who knows, I might be able to solve them."
Not saying anything for a while, Jian Shen suddenly shouted, "This is all happening too fast!!!"
"Okay. Shouting is one way to go at it."
"Everything is happening too fast, and I no longer feel as if I'm in control of anything."
Thinking for a while, Meilin smiled and said, "You're thinking that isn't you. Meeting a woman's parents, asking for her hand in marriage, setting a date, deciding on their status after marrying them, you never saw your self doing such a thing, is that it?"
Nodding his head, Jian Shen despite wanting to turn and look at her didn't do so because her head was resting on his shoulders anyway.
"Let me ask you something, boy. Do you love them?"
"Huh? I do."
"And do they love you?"
"Yes."
"Then I've only got a single piece of advice for you. Suck it up."
"What?"
"If you truly love the woman and want to spend the rest of your life with her, it isn't too bad to suffer for a little while right?"
...
"Wow, I can't help but accept that she couldn't have said it better."
"What would you have said, if he had asked for your advice?"
Thinking for a while, Qingyu said, "The both is us grew up with on our own with no families, so neither of us knows what the huge deal about having a family is. So, I doubt if either of us could've said anything meaningful to him."
…
Calming down after listening to what Meilin had to say about toughing it out for a little while when he would have the rest of his life to enjoy himself, Jian Shen said, "You can let go of me now. I don't plan on flying away, Meilin."
"It's okay, I don't mind hugging you for longer."
Chuckling at this, Jian Shen was just about to say something when Meilin said, "We can still have that sex which I proposed to you."
"Thanks, but I'm fine."
"Okay. But just so you know, this offer is only for today."
Smiling a little, Jian Shen didn't say anything causing Meilin to further say, "Fine, I wasn't serious. We can have sex whenever you want."
Shaking his head and pulling the woman's reluctant hands away from him, Jian Shen said, "Isn't it time for you to go back?"
"And where do you plan on going after I leave?"
"Nowhere in particular. I just plan on roaming around the island."
"Roaming around the island? If you plan on scouting for beauties, I know a few locations where the best looking women gather at."
"I... "
Not waiting for Jian Shen to answer, Meilin hugged his arm and started pulling him towards the courtyard while saying, "But if it is shopping that you want to do, you should wait for the special auction to start."
"Special auction?"
As someone who possessed literally at least one piece of every single previous item available inside the Mortal Realm in his World Crest, Jian Shen had zero interest in participating in any auctions.
Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, "I'm not interested in any auctions."
"Huh? This isn't just any normal auction son-in-law. It is the Auction of Five Centuries!"
Before Jian Shen could even ask what kind of an auction this was, Meilin herself began explaining about it.
"Along with the Sword World which opens once every five hundred years in this island, a special auction also takes place every five hundred years where you can buy anything you want as long as you have enough money."
Seeing the doubtful look in Jian Shen's eyes, Meilin snorted and said, "If my words are proved false, I will punish myself by having sex with my daughter's future husband."
"You.... "
"I'm kidding. But you really can find almost every single thing you might want during that auction."
"In fact, the auction sells so many items that it lasts for a total of five days."
"Now do you plan on attending the auction?"
Looking straight into Meilin's eyes, Jian Shen asked, "Why are you trying so hard to make me attend this auction?"
"Because I received an invitation to one of the best rooms in the auction hall, and it would be boring to go there alone."
Understanding what the woman's intentions were, Jian Shen said, "If I come, your daughter would come with us as well. You know that, right?"
"It's fine. I'll just tell everyone that we're a couple, while she's my sister who keeps on following you around like a stalker."
"Kidding?"
Blinking her eyes, Meilin said, "Sure. I'm kidding."
Deep down however she was planning on sticking with the same idea and show off by claiming that Jian Shen was her lover.
Just thinking about this allowed her to imagine those jealous looks which would appear on the faces of her friends.
