Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1882: Chapter 1881: Participating in the Auction

When Lin Dong returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Qin Yitian once again had everyone prepare a pile of supplements.

Seeing Lin Dong return, Qin Yitian licked her lips, wearing a smile, and asked Lin Dong:

”Husband, have you had dinner?”

Lin Dong glanced at the large oysters and abalones on the table and quickly said, ”Cough cough, I’ve already eaten.”

”You’ve eaten?” Qin Yitian was taken aback but then smiled, ”It’s okay, then leave these oysters and abalones for late-night snacks.”

Saying this, she instructed Huang Fei beside her, ”Sister Fei, please take these to my and my husband’s room.”

”Throughout the long night, I will feed them to him one by one.”

Lin Dong: ”...”

Huang Fei giggled and quickly complied.

”Alright, Miss.”

With that, she carried those oysters and abalones into their room.

Once she left, only Lin Dong and Qin Yitian remained at the dining area, and Lin Dong quickly said, ”Qin Yitian, let me clarify something first. I won’t eat those oysters and abalones.”

”Hehe~~ If I offer you a billion to eat an abalone or oyster, would you?” Qin Yitian asked with a laugh.

Lin Dong: ”...”

If he hadn’t just put some pills up for auction today, he could have eaten Qin Yitian into bankruptcy with those oysters and abalones.

But now, after auctioning off 1000 Essence Yuan Pills and 50 Qi-Boosting Pills, Lin Dong no longer cared about money.

With this money, he could auction off many good things.

So he waved his hand and decisively said, ”Sorry, even if it’s one billion per abalone, I won’t eat it.”

Hearing this, Qin Yitian was surprised and a little taken aback.

”Dong Lin, aren’t you raising money for the auction?” Qin Yitian asked.

Lin Dong chuckled, ”I was short yesterday, but not today. I think I have enough money now.”

”Oh? How did you get the money? Did you go stone gambling or treat someone’s illness today?” Qin Yitian asked.

She assumed Lin Dong made the money through these two methods.

Lin Dong shook his head, ”No, I went to sell pills. Anyway, I think I have enough money to attend the auction.”

”Sell pills? Did you sell the pills my brother gave you? That actually could fetch quite a bit of money.” Qin Yitian muttered.

Lin Dong shook his head again and said, ”All the pills I sold are ones I made myself.”

”You made those pills?” Qin Yitian was clearly skeptical, ”How much could they sell for?”

Lin Dong didn’t explain further but said, ”You’ll find out at the auction tomorrow.”

At this moment, Huang Fei returned, smiling as she said:

”Miss, husband, I’ve placed the items in your room. Are you heading back to your room now?”

Qin Yitian nodded, ”Yes.”

With that, she led Lin Dong back to the room.

At the moment, Huang Fei muttered, ”It’s barely eight at night, and Miss can’t wait to head back to the room.”

”It seems the husband is really impressive; he’s captivated her.”

Little did she know, Miss and the husband had been putting on an act all this time.

As for why Qin Yitian dragged Lin Dong back to the room so early today, it was just to discuss some matters with him.

Once back in the room, Qin Yitian said, ”Dong Lin, are you sure you don’t need my money?”

Lin Dong nodded, ”No need, I have money myself.”

”Alright then, Dong Lin, I was wrong. I was just joking with you; we won’t eat these oysters and abalones. I’ll still give you the ten billion.” Qin Yitian thought Lin Dong refused her money because she pressured him to eat oysters and abalones.

So she decided not to make this joke anymore.

Lin Dong shook his head with a smile and said, ”Miss Yitian, I’m serious; I truly have money.”

”Whether you have money or not, you must take this ten billion. I promised you before, and I won’t go back on my word.” Qin Yitian insisted strongly.

Lin Dong had no choice but to say, ”Alright.”

Lin Dong thought for a moment and decided to accept her ten billion, and perhaps later give her a gift worth more than ten billion.

That night, the two continued their act.

And Huang Fei, as usual, came to eavesdrop again.

”Tonight is my last night eavesdropping; after tonight, I won’t come anymore,” Huang Fei murmured.

Eavesdropping every day was something she couldn’t handle.

And Lin Dong, having ’heard’ her murmuring, also sighed in relief, knowing after tonight, he wouldn’t have to act with Qin Yitian anymore.

To be honest, staging this act every night was quite a test for Lin Dong.

Nowadays, Qin Yitian was getting more excessive each night, and Lin Dong was nearly unable to withstand it.

After their performance, the two fell asleep, and the night passed without a word.

They woke up the next day.

Today was the day of the auction.

This morning’s breakfast was normal, unlike the last two days when Qin Yitian intentionally teased Lin Dong.

While eating breakfast, Qin Yitian said to Lin Dong, ”Dong Lin, I’ve heard that today’s auction has many good items.”

”I heard there are several hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasures, with seven or eight stalks available. Besides, many pills will also be auctioned.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong looked pleased, though currently, hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasures didn’t greatly boost his strength.

But having them was better than not.

And who knows, there might be other surprises at the auction?

After breakfast, Lin Dong and Qin Yitian went out.

The two drove a Rolls-Royce Cullinan to the Southern Sea Bank’s auction venue.

The auction venue was a building resembling a bird’s nest, equipped by the Southern Sea Bank specifically for hosting auctions.

Its area was not small, capable of accommodating thousands!

Of course, such an auction couldn’t possibly have thousands of people participating.

To attend such an auction, much like entering the Southern Sea Bank, you either need a pass or have assets exceeding fifty million.

Verification of assets is necessary.

Yet, despite this, the monthly auctions held by the Southern Sea Bank draw quite a crowd.

Although not thousands, there’s still a few thousand every auction.

If during certain festivals, the number might even approach ten thousand.

When Lin Dong and Qin Yitian arrived, naturally, they caused quite a stir.

Because of Qin Yitian’s significant status!

Ninth Miss Chen Yu even personally came to welcome them.

”Miss Qin Yitian, hello. Mr. Dong, we meet again. Welcome to both of you.”

Chen Yu extended her hand and greeted the two.

Qin Yitian was somewhat perplexed, wondering when Chen Yu actually became acquainted with Dong Lin?

But in Chen Yu’s presence, she didn’t ask anything further.

Instead, she nodded slightly and then held Lin Dong’s arm as they entered the auction venue.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Yu said, ”This Mr. Dong surely is Miss Qin Yitian’s fiancé, and it seems Qin Yitian truly likes him.”

”Her intimacy with Mr. Dong just now didn’t seem staged.”

A nearby attendant, Zhang Siqi, was still dressed in a cheongsam today.

At this moment, she was trembling, afraid to even greet Lin Dong for fear of being misunderstood by Qin Yitian.

Moreover, she could see that Qin Yitian’s ’territorial awareness’ was strong; her arm-holding gesture was announcing her claim over him to everyone.

”It seems Mister Dong indeed has extraordinary qualities; could those pills truly be ones he refined himself?” Ninth Miss Chen Yu couldn’t help but have such a thought.

If those pills were genuinely his creations, then Mister Dong couldn’t just be considered a freeloader.

But instead possessed true strength!

However, were those pills really refined by him?
