The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

I can't die yet, I want to live on, I...

She gripped her hands tighter, and everything around her seemed to flow away like water.

There were no families, no large corporations, no exhibition booths, and no auctions.

There were only two people.

A young child, holding a book, sat obediently in a chair.

A man dressed in a black robe, with a fierce look, had one foot on a chair, carried a sickle on his back, and his face was covered in blood.

The little girl looked at him and said, "There's still a chance. Don't rush. Maybe the guild will hold another auction. Just like those two items that can create skeleton soldiers, as long as we take it one step at a time, there will always be a chance."

"Shh-"

The girl in black robes stirred up a foul wind with a flick of her sleeves, which swept across the little girl's pale cheek.

Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were extremely sharp.

"Opportunity? How much time do you have left? Next time? Is there really a next time? By the time you take your time and get the artifact, Yao's parents will be long gone! Don't you know their physical condition best?!"

The girl suddenly went berserk, roaring, "Why did you venture into undeveloped areas? Why did you challenge dungeons? Is a world full of monsters not dangerous?"

"Now that things have come to this, what are you still afraid of?!"

"Didn't you already get used to it?!"

A powerful killing intent was released, and behind the girl in black robes, countless wronged souls opened their mouths and struggled, but not a sound could be heard.

Seeing this, the little girl kept her sweet smile and opened the book.

The painting depicts a silver-haired girl who is cautious, beautiful, and powerful, with a smug smile always on her face.

"These are all your strengths. Don't lose your composure. Take it easy, things will definitely get better. Believe in yourself. Aren't you the most confident person?"

"Now that we've come this far, let's take a moment to process things. Perhaps things aren't as bad as you think."

"The auction isn't over yet, Bai Jinxuan."

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the hall, scattering the two people in front of them.

"100 billion! I'd like to see who can raise the bid!"

Long Lan's roar shook the surrounding area, and even Long Jinming behind him trembled slightly.

Like an enraged beast, he scanned the various factions in the hall until, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Bai Jinxuan.

Beneath the black hood, crimson eyes stared straight at him, like some high-priced creature awakening, sending a chill down one's spine.

What...what's going on? My legs suddenly won't obey me?

He frowned, slowly sat down, and found that his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Damn it, stop it, stop shaking!

He gripped his thighs tightly with both hands until the intense pain stimulated his nerves, and only then did the trembling stop.

Damn it, this is so embarrassing! What's wrong with that woman?! Why do I start shaking when we make eye contact? Could it be... I'm scared?

What a joke!

Long Lan shook his head, dismissing the ridiculous idea. He had never been afraid of anyone since he was a child, so what was there to be afraid of in a mere woman?

"The Long Group has offered 100 billion. Is anyone else interested in bidding?"

The host asked calmly, as if he were already used to this kind of scene.

The venue was quiet, and no one had any intention of competing with Long Lan for a spot.

100 billion is not something that just anyone can afford.

There are still spots available.

There are two left; it's not too late to grab the rest.

But just then, a clear female voice rang out.

"120."

The entire room fell silent once again.

Long Lan's damn legs started shaking again.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slender black sleeve raised at the location of the Chamber of Commerce across the street.

It's her again! That mysterious person from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce!

Damn it, this is the first time in my life I've ever been trampled on like this! Not to mention that the person on top of me is a woman!

"150 million..."

"200."

Long Lan: "???"

An unprecedented sense of oppression descended upon the venue, causing panic among the various families.

200 million.

Even the Long Group would find it difficult to come up with so much money.

What makes her think she can offer such a high price?

Who exactly is she?

How dare she! ?

Offering Guilt to the Wheelchair-bound Heiress

Summary:

"It's a miracle that Miss Selena is even barely clinging to life..."

Eden's childhood friend, Mebius's adoptive sister, Alicia's best friend... She is always active on the front line of the dimensional battlefield, possessing the most elegant and terrifying sword skills, and is known as the Iris of Dawn, the true sword saint.

But now, she can only sit in a wheelchair, extremely weak.

Selena lowered her eyes and coughed lightly, a weak yet still gentle smile appearing on her face: "It's alright, I can still..."

[Inner monologue: We were told that the weaker I am, the stronger my burst of power will be...]

[System: No problem, the host can now drive a wheelchair to defeat the First Herrscher!]

[Inner monologue: Who would do something so tasteless?]

Meanwhile, no one knew—

The sickly young lady in a wheelchair appears gentle and resolute, the white moonlight of everyone, but behind the scenes she is a despicable woman, constantly deceiving everyone's feelings and reaping everyone's guilt.

However, while she appeared to be calmly manipulating everyone, in reality, once her true colors were revealed, given her frail and helpless condition...

"There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

P.S.: This is a crossover/anime/manga story.

Volume 1: Chapter 124: A Confident Girl

"The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce has offered 200 billion. Does anyone else want to make a bid?"

"Congratulations to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce for winning the first spot to use the divine artifact!"

The announcement pierced Long Jinming's chest like an ice pick.

He felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

Miss Bai Qianye, isn't she usually so stingy with even a few million? Why is she suddenly willing to spend 200 billion to buy a spot for a divine artifact?

That's 200 billion! I've never even seen that much money before!

Shocked, he instinctively turned his gaze to the dark figure in front of him.

"Miss Bai... Miss Bai Qianye... you..."

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Long Jinming shrank back, remaining silent as if terrified.

The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce disciples behind him followed suit, each becoming a tortoise.

Although she was a tortoise, the eldest sister really enjoyed this move. The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce stepped on the head of the Dragon Group, something they never dared to dream of!

Big sister is awesome! I wonder how the president managed to get her to come here!

The disciples of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce exchanged glances, their faces filled with joy.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Apart from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce and those smaller chambers of commerce that had no interest in the artifact, almost every family and business in the venue had a gloomy expression on their face.

Star City is about to change!

At the Tong family home, Tong Yishan kept her eyes tightly closed and was breathing heavily.

Qian Wanyu, who had always held her head high, was now comforting her parents.

Gu's family, a roadside shop.

Long Lan, from the Long family, was completely overwhelmed and couldn't catch his breath for a long time.

......

Regardless of how the various families react, the auction must continue.

Soon, the host began the second round of auction, with the second slot for using the artifact also starting at 10 billion.

Then, that terrifying voice came again.

Bai Qianye: "50 billion."

Long Jinming's eyes widened, and he quickly reached out to try to grab Bai Jinxuan.

"Miss Bai Qianye, you've already secured a spot, why are you still..."

"I told you to shut up."

His bright red eyes gleamed from under his hood, and in that instant, Long Jinming seemed to see his own death in a sea of ​​red.

"Yes."

He nodded and then pulled his head back in.

This guy is a big shot; I wouldn't dare mess with him.

Meanwhile, upon hearing that Bai Jinxuan had started with 50 billion, the various families clenched their fists in anticipation.

This bastard is even worse than Long Lan. She already got a spot, why is she still trying to disgust people?

Do you really think Star City is deserted?

Among them, the Qian family gritted their teeth and kept up with the price.

"55 million!"

Curing diseases is extremely important, especially for the irreversible aging of the human body and the curse of the 7th floor of the dungeon, which is the only solution.

If he can't get this spot and save the old man of the Qian family, it will be difficult for him, as the head of the family, to control the people below.

Therefore, the Qian family must get this spot no matter what!

On the other side, Long Lan's face was almost contorted.

The mysterious woman not only stepped on his head, but also wanted to do it a second time.

If the Long family backs down today, who will respect them in the future? Who will take them seriously?
