The nextpetition raised the interest of the onlookers. The fight between the two spartans had transformed into the battle between Beauty and the Beast. Oh no, A gentleman with an inner beast.
The price Ling Qingyu uttered out loud no longer brought surprises. Their hearts were already numb by Ling Qingyu''s prior wanton money-burning behavior.
As long as her mouth opened, the number scared many babies to death. Their fragile heart and wealth definitely limited their outer view.
In fact, Mister Shen wasn''t feeling any better and felt his family might have underestimated Ling Qingyu''s strength.
Counting the number Ling Qingyu spent within a few days blew everyone''s mind. But only sane people noticed the phenomenon and regarded Ling Qingyu as an existence to avoid provoking.
Usually, very wealthy individuals without sufficient background were seen as fat sheeps, where wools after wools would be shaved.
Businesspeople in the past suffered under the hands of aristocratic families, officials, and the big politicians, harvesting the leek without impunity.
With the rise of capitalism, things might have changed but one truth stayed the same—might was right. Without protection, your money capital really meant nothing.
However, although Ling Qingyu was a neer to the circle, her wits and methods deterred many and abolished those who had malice, while the powerful didn''t care about her existence because she was too small.
After their perceptions of her had altered, influential parties couldn''t help but think to make some moves and shiveredter, thinking of the consequences. Ling Qingyu was no longer the soft persimmon everyone believed.
With Yang Qingyue backing though she couldn''t transform into a crab, walking sideways, she had be a strong powerhouse.
Wealth, connections despite only a freshman state, and talents followed Ling Qingyu''s steps.
"950 million." Lin Fan shouted, after being stunned for a while, never expecting another woman to enter the race.
When he discovered it was Ling Qingyu, the corners of his mouth curled up. Finally, this woman tasted vinegar and fought back. The sourness could be smelled from a distance, Lin Fanughed inwardly.
How cute! Ling Qingyu used another method to attract his attention. How should he react to avoid overly expressing his inner emotions? Lin Fan thought.
[*vomit*]
Ling Qingyu''s face turned as dark as the bottom of the hot y pot. Miss System vomited in her ears. It sounded no different from mocking her act of saving a damsel in distress.
''Miss System, stop annoying me. I''m seriously preventing dirty hands fromying on the goddess.''
Ling Qingyu didn''t know Miss System''s reaction was due to reading Lin Fan''s thought and expressed her protest. Meanwhile, Miss System rolled her eyes at Ling Qingyu''s remarks. If Lin Fan and Young Master Xia represented horny stallions who messed around with many women, Ling Qingyu was the woman version of the stallion 2.0.
Well, Miss System decided to block reading other people''s inner psychology, especially the male protagonist. It was too much and exceeded her tolerance.
She had been paying attention to him, so long as Lin Fan was near Ling Qingyu''s figure.
"1 billion." Ling Qingyu followed and made fierce eye contact, dering war or so she thought her behavior was.
In contrast, Lin Fan smiled with joy, seeing his ''ex-fiancée'' expressing protest subtly in a roundabout manner. Afterward, his face turned into disbelief. He didn''t hear Ling Qingyu wrongly. 1 billion?
"1.2 billion." Lin Fan refused to think Ling Qingyu coulde up with more, forgetting her recent total spending.
Having investigated thoroughly to prepare for the marriage, Lin Fan thought he knew her inside out but herter actions proved him wrong.
"1.5 billion." Ling Qingyu said.
"2 billion." Lin Fan gritted his teeth.
"2.2 billion." Ling Qingyu was also courageous.
"…" The site became a theater y just for the two. Others, as audience, serving as a background, gasped in fright. What happened to their means—already throwing away billions like trash?
Fan Xi was trembling. As the cause of the two nations fighting, she resembled a beauty reaching adisaster level. She hadplicated emotions, seeing another woman protecting her.
Miss System: [???]
Finally, Lin Fan patted hard on the desk, speaking through his clenched teeth. "3 billion."
This was the maximum he could offer. Although he highly doubted Ling Qingyu could afford to continue, her expression told otherwise.
Before returning to Country C to retire, Lin Fan asked his subordinates to transfer the money to his home bank ount. Despite hispanions'' advice to transfer more, Lin Fan decided more than 3 billion was sufficient and replied he could ask for helpter.
Now, he realized he kicked a steel te, not a normal one but made of Edman Alloy. For the first time, he regretted his arrogance and simple mindset.
In the auction where the host was calling the rhythm, time was the essence. Lin Fan had the confidence to race marily with Ling Qingyu till her exhaustion settled in.
Nheless, no matter how quick he could transfer from overseas into his card, his speed would never be faster than the host''s hand. He really hoped the hammer struck quickly but his hope vanished.
"4 billion." Ling Qingyu knew she had won again, seeing Lin Fan''s deted face. She covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling better after ying the protagonist to death.
Lin Fan sighed and looked miserable. Lan Xi, who prepared to scold his behavior, closed her mouth and hugged him instead. She felt for the first time, Ling Qingyu was so cute, removing her next possible opponent from the pce.
She gave a silent thumbs-up to Ling Qingyu, who was confused at the female gang leader''s exhrated gesture.
Sister, I just whack your man till he loses face and you''re happy, Ling Qingyu was puzzled andter understood Lan Xi''s mind.

Seeing the situation was set, the host concluded. Fan Xi''s underwear now belonged to Ling Qingyu. No matter what the host said, it sounded weird and Ling Qingyu blushed slightly.
Fan Xi controlled her trembling palms and nearly stood up and eximed. Her biggest problem had been solved and the burden on her shoulder dissipated as if it never appeared.
Lin Fan''s heart shattered. He felt a strange loss inside as if something important which should have belonged to him would never return. It was a mysterious intuition.
Breaking Lin Fan''s pretense and returning the same face-p, Ling Qingyu was satisfied like never before. The audience, especially men, cheered Ling Qingyu''s victory as if they had won too.
In their simple mind, since they couldn''t obtain Goddess Fan Xi, no men should. They rather destroy her than let others take advantage.
This was themon mindset, agreed among the men in tonight''s auction. Luckily, it was a woman, who took the prize.
In any case, many menforted their Goddess Fan Xi was saved and her innocence was protected. Fortunately, Miss System had turned off her see-through ability. If not, she would roll on the floor andugh till she choked.
Save? Innocence protected? Non-existent!
Ling Yunxiang, Yang Qingyue and Zhao Xiurong were the most fierce, beating the table excitedly. They protected the idol, whom they had admired from a young age.
Although they were scared by Ling Qingyu''smotion of mercilessly burning billions in cash, all they had in mind was they seeded.
Rolling her eyes at their childish act, Ling Qingyu sighed and shook her head—as if it was them who spent billions. My money, Ling Qingyu cracked her eyeballs and rubbed the pair to soothe her fragile loss.
The only warmth was remembering Athena''s money-making capability. Billions per day. Even though she felt ashamed of exploiting Athena and using her daughter''s wealth, Ling Qingyu admitted she couldn''t earn simrly.
No way, she must improve her situation and seek wealthier paths to surpass Athena''s ability.
