Ah Chun - Volume 1 Chapter 319 Blossom Auction House Part Three
Mei Yan was completely confused by Ah Chun’s answer but Ah Chun only smiled and did not elaborate. It was true she felt that Mei Yan brought out her motherly instincts. Although her current body was only eight, her soul was much much older than that. It was only natural to have these instincts after so long. She saw Mei Yan as someone worthy of protection since she had no ulterior motives. She was too pure for this world. Ah Chun felt the need to toughen her up as much as she could.
Mei Yan finally sat down feeling a little awkward. But as she thought about it, ever since she met Ah Chun, Ah Chun had been looking out for her and making sure nothing happened to her while at the same time trying to show her the reality of the real world. The more she thought the more she realized that these were all actions that a mother would have. A warm feeling enveloped Mei Yan’s heart as she thought it over. She never had a mother that she can remember, she only had those at the sect who never treated her as an actual family. They mainly hid her away from the world.
“Junior Sister” Mei Yan softly called out Ah Chun’s name.
“Mmm?” She lifted her head from the catalog and looked at Mei Yan who was blushing.
” Can Can I call you Mother once while hugging you? Just to see what it feels like?” The blush on Mei Yan’s cheeks moved to both of her ears.
Ah Chun was about to laugh but when she saw the longing in Mei Yan’s eyes she sighed and nodded her head. “Go ahead.”
Mei Yan shyly smiled, leaned over, and hugged Ah Chun. “Mother…” Her shy smile turned into a bright one as she rested her head on Ah Chun’s shoulder.
Ah Chun could sense Mei Yan’s feeling of security and gently rubbed her back.
It was not until the announcer for the auction started to talk did the two break their hug. A few tears rolled down the side of Mei Yan’s cheeks as she embarrassingly lowered her head.
Ah Chun smiled and said: “Senior Sister Yan. I am here for you whenever you need me. Until the day I leave, I will look after you.”
Mei yan nodded her head and faintly smiled.The warmth of the hug still lingered on her body. ‘Is this what it feels like to have a family?‘
Ah Chun watched as item after item was auctioned off. She had looked through the catalog but found nothing of interest. She was starting to feel a little letdown, all the way until the last item in the catalog was sold.
“Now hold on ladies and gentlemen! We still have one final item tonight. It was added before the auction and since it was from a respected source we decided to add it to tonight’s auction as a surprise. ” The auction master smiled and waved to the attendant at the side.
The attendant wheeled out a small cart and on top of this cart was a black box looking thing. But when Ah Chun saw this she felt that she had seen this item someplace before. She could not remember the name of it or what exactly it did but she could not help but think she had seen such an item before.
“Now we are not sure what this is but the intricacies of how it was made have been proven. The only reason it is being sold is that the person who found it could not figure out exactly what it was.” The auction master looked at the crowd. Seeing that he had caught the attention of a few people he continued: “The starting bid is one million.”
“Fifty Million!” Ah Chun yelled out the amount on the card the Auction house gave her.
Her bid alone caused a ruckus in the crowd. It was the first time anyone had raised the beginning bid by so much. Now a lot of people were looking up at Ah Chun’s room. They could tell the voice came from a young girl. Some just ignored it as a silly little girl getting to bid for the first time and others were sending people to investigate who was in Ah Chu’s room.
Ah Chun did not care if she stood out the item resonated with her and she would not let anyone else have it. The Auction master was in shock at the sudden rise in bid and took a few seconds to regain himself. “Anyone else?”The Auction master looked around seeing no one else speak up he said: “Then sold for fifty million!”
Seeing how she won, Ah Chun tapped Xu Wei and said: “Release your spirit pressure over the AUction hall and give them all a warning.”
Xu Wei nodded and released his spirit pressure across the hall at its fullest causing those down below to fall from their seats. He then amplified his voicefor everyone to hear. “If any of you even think of following us, I will send you to the river of reincarnation before you can even move.”
This was a blatant threat. He would not allow anyone to hurt Ah Chun. After feeling Xu Wei’s spirit pressure, those who had sent out people to investigate quickly recalled their people. This included those who were also on the second floor. Xu Wei’s spirit power was strong enough to even make the elites back down.
