"Finally, we've reached the climax of the night. Our next guest, Ning Qiuyu, hails from a scholarly and prestigious family. She is currently a senior at Saint Sakura High School who encompasses purity, beauty, allure, and intelligence all in one. Of course, just like the previous four ladies, she is untainted as well. Whichever gentleman in attendance secures her tonight will definitely have the freedom to teach her at will..."

"Ten million!"

"Fifteen million!"

Before the host could finish his speech, eager men from the audience had already started bidding. Opening bids were well above ten million. The more expensive she was, the more valuable it was to possess her. After all, this final girl was worth every penny, no matter how they looked at it.

Tonight, A Bar's atmosphere had reached its peak. The uniqueness of this place was that different women were up for auction daily. Each auction item ensured quality, and the previous young ladies had been sold at more than satisfactory prices.

The final lot was always the most precious and certainly the climax of the night.

Ning Qiuyu was wearing the number five tag around her waist. She could feel all eyes burning and excitedly fixated on her, each filled with a desperate yearning to devour her.

Their stares were malicious, and even the men boasting the most powerful backgrounds demonstrated patience as they waited. As far as they were concerned, the girls before were merely appetisers. The one who walked out last was the most delicious meat of the night.

Ning Qiuyu's heart was pulsing in her throat.

As long as she was bought, she would have the money to pay off her uncle’s company’s debts.

The image of her uncle’s desperate expression flashed through her mind.

This auction was the only way she could help her uncle, the only way she could repay him.

According to A Bar's rules, if she could act as the finale auction item for the night and get bought for an ideal price, she would only need to pay a forty percent handling fee to the A Bar, and all the remaining money would be hers alone.

But, she would need to be the winner's mistress.

Just for a month.

Just a mistress for one month.

"Ning Qianyu, you can do it, you can do it."

At the same time, Ji Zheye was sitting in a private box on the second floor, watching everything happening below with a cold gaze. The box was transparent so he could take in everything happening in the venue, but no one could see into the box.

His gaze fell on the almost-naked girl on the stage. She was wearing only a black bikini, which perfectly accentuated her flawless curves. With a pure and incredibly beautiful face lit under the bright lights, her skin was almost transparently white. To any man, she would be an irresistible little seductress.

Her exceptionally lovely eyes and brows, the fascinating curves, and waterfall-like black hair made her face appear as white as snow, with lips as naturally red as if they were freshly ripened cherries. So enticing, people would want to swallow her whole.

Yet, what attracted him was not the girl’s perfect features.

But because she was Ning Qianyu.

Slowly, a cooldown settled in Ji Zheye's gaze, but the curve at the edge of his lips gradually became more audacious. This proud princess had abandoned all her dignity to become an auction item of value.

This, in his eyes, boring auction suddenly became interesting.

The man next to him seemed to sense his mood change: "Young Master, are you thinking to…"

"Buy her!" He spat out three words with icy lips.

"But Young Master, she's an auction item," Arno explained.

Such absurd games were always disregarded by the young master, so why would he be interested now?

Ji Zheye raised an eyebrow, looking at the princess on the stage with a barely perceptible smirk on his handsome and wild face, "I said, buy her."

Ning Qianyu became increasingly uneasy, feeling as if a beastly pair of eyes were shadowing her, with a pair of invisible hands roaming boldly across her skin.

She just couldn't suppress the chill creeping up her back.

Her eyes landed fearfully on the glass of the second floor, but saw nothing.

However, her intuition told her that there was a powerful presence behind the glass, so powerful that she could not look straight at it through the glass.

"Eighty million for the first time!"

This giant number made Ning Qianyu's heart skip a beat.

Her clear and beautiful eyes flashed a hint of doubt. Did she hear wrong? Did the bidding really reach eighty million?

Of the four girls in front, the highest bid had only been twenty three million.

Ning Qianyu wasn't the only one startled, the host was astounded as well. This was the first time a bid had reached this high since A bar began auctioning.

The only girl on stage was like the most precious porcelain.

Everyone in the room had sharp eyes and could tell who the most exceptional girl was at a glance.

Undoubtedly, it was Ning Qianyu.

"Eighty million for the second time!" The host could barely contain his excited voice, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Eighty million, my god! Forty-percent of eighty million was thirty-two million. Ning Qianyu alone brought a huge profit to the bar. If only there were more Ning Qianyus.

Ning Qianyu's heart tightened again. Was no one else going to bid? Really no one?

Did this mean that she would become a man's plaything, or a pet tonight?

The host looked around encouragingly then drawled, "Eighty million, not too high, not too low, anyone wants to make a bid?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone under the influence of alcohol started to make a ruckus. They yelled at Mr. Yan, "Yan, is it necessary to bid so high for a virgin? Don't ruin the markets, alright?"

"Exactly, eighty million is enough to purchase a marine diamond."

As for Mr. Yan, he was calmly sipping his 1984 Lafite without paying heed to the jealous glares around. With his hawk-like eyes, he was observing the lovely girl onstage.
