Chapter 84: The Birth Of An Everlasting Legend

Chapter 84: The Birth Of An Everlasting Legend

After a few more hours of waiting, the handsome middle-aged man finally began descending to the Minor World. And the moment he did, everybody locked their attention onto him. He smiled, said, Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start off by apologizing for the delay. The amount of guests that had arrived previously had shocked even me, and I had to spend a week wandering the Starry Sky in order to find a better location. Next, I would like to thank all of you for being here, it means a lot to me--- and my wallet--- The smug on his face grew even wider as he said that, making people frown left and right. Now, before I start this history making event, it should be noted that I do not care about your status here! As long as you have the money, you can partake in this auction! Do you have any questions for me before we kick this off?

....

....

Silence.

Seeing how everybody stared at him with daggers on the verge of shooting out, he shrugged and finally said, Good! Then let us begin! As you all know, I am known as the God of Art, Huan Yishu! I am here today to auction off the most peerless art piece I have ever created--- yet! The 9th and probably the last Painting of Desire!

After finishing his sentence, Huan Yishu sliced the space in front of him with his bare hands. The space started ripping apart as if it was a mouth, and a moment later, something wrapped in red cloth was slowly being pulled out.

The moment this red object came out, an invisible pressure suddenly slammed down on every single individual watching. However, instead of panicking, the majority of them had a wide smile on their face. They watched as the clothed object was slowly being pulled out, and as it came out, their heart also began beating faster.

One second, two seconds, three seconds. Every second felt like another eternity. They had waited for an entire week yet it did not feel as long as these few seconds!

Boom!

The moment the clothed painting was fully displayed, gasps could be heard from every direction.

H-Holy Its that big?

My Mother, the other eight was the size of a regular painting, yet this one This one can fit an entire wall!!

Many girls began drooling before they could even see what was behind that cloth! They can already imagine walking into their room with the painting greeting them!

He...Hehe...Hehehe

Weird laughs could be heard, but nobody even bothered to see who was making these weird noises and continued to stare at the clothed painting as if they are trying to see right through the cover!

Huan Yishu laughed inside his heart. What foolishness. Would I be stupid enough to cover it with something so random that you can just see through it with your Techniques---?!

*Cough*

*Plop*

A shout suddenly resounded, Ahhhhh! Someone suddenly collapsed with blood coming out of their nose!

What? People began to look at the direction that voice was coming from to see a peerlessly beautiful middle-aged girl on the floor with blood flowing out of her nose like a waterfall.

T-Thats the God of Divine Techniques, Lady Nuo! Theres a rumor that she has mastered all Divine Techniques that has ever existed! Why did she suddenly collapse like that?!

A girl next to the collapsed Lady Nuo suddenly dropped onto her knees and picked Lady Nuos head up. Senior Sister Nuo! What happened?! She spoke to her as if she was holding a half dead body.

*Cough*

Lady Nuo, with her eyes closed, whispered, H-Hea---

Eh? Huan Yishu did not expect this and could only look around with a dumbfounded expression. Why is no one bidding? Did nobody want the 9th Painting of Desire Thats impossible! Maybe they are waiting for someone to start the bidding price? He thought and began waiting again.

....

........

..............

Half an hour had passed, yet the place was still silent. Nobody was bidding!

Huan Yishu began sweating. Why is nobody bidding?! Half an hour had already gone by but not a single bid was made! Forget about Huan Yishu, even the males there are puzzled at the unexpected outcome. The females have been going crazy since the news of the 9th Painting of Desire was released, so why is nobody bidding now? Where is the chaos? Where is the blood bath?!

M-Maybe they did not hear me when I started the auction?... T-That must be it! Huan Yishu tried to convince himself, and he prepared a forced smile before rubbing his hands together. A-Ahem. G-Guests? Why the silence? D-Did nobody hear me when I started the auction? I-If so, the auction has---

We heard you loud and clear the first time, someone interrupted him.

Such words confused him even more. T-Then why is nobody bidding? He asked.

.....

Bid? Bid for what? We dont even know whats behind the cover and you want us to bid for it? Are you stupid or something? Someone finally said.

Yeah! How do you expect us to bid for something we have never seen?

Right?! Who knows what is behind that cover! It might not even be the 9th Painting of Desire!

Yeah! Show us what is behind that cover and then we will start bidding!

The already stiff smile on Huan Yishus face instantly freezes upon hearing their reason as to why they are not bidding. SO THATS THEIR PLAN?!?!? He cursed in his heart. He finally understands what these girls were aiming for! It was obvious that the majority of them here are aware of the fact that they cannot outbid the big families hidden within the crowd and came here with only the intentions to see the painting! As for the people here that are actually going to bid in the auction, they sympathize with them as fellow fangirls, so they decided to not bid until everybody here sees the painting! Also, who knows if they will actually win the bid once they began?!

What a crafty bunch! What good patience! If this was the Mortals Realm, such a thing would have never happened! With so many people here, such large scale actions like this could not have been planned ahead of time, especially not within a week! So how was it possible to accomplish such feats?!

Huan Yishu began sweating profusely. He had planned on keeping the painting covered for the entire duration of the auction because he thought it would rake in more money, but now he has no other choice other than to let them see the painting! Just one bid and he will not have to show them the painting! The less an item has been seen makes it even more valuable, after all. But who is willing to bid now? The males? Impossible! Who would do something that is equivalent to suicide--- no, something even worse than suicide! Just one bid from any of the males here and he will make every single female here his enemy! And these are not just any regular females. Many of them here are either well-known Gods, Princesses, and even Young Ladies from families with high standings! To have such enemies means absolute death!

Haaaaaah. Huan Yishu lets out a long sigh and gives up. Fine, fine, fine. You girls win. I will let you see what is behind this cover---- but only for a second! I cannot handle the consequences of revealing it for more than a second! If any of you disagree, then I will shut this auction down right at this moment!

Un, un. Millions of heads nod at the same time, creating waves in the black sea made of people.

Haaaaaaaah. Huan Yishu lets out one more sigh before grabbing the cover. He looks at the excited crowd, and then he looks his shivering hands. He has never experienced such nervousness even before he became the God of Art!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaah. Huan Yishu lets out one final sigh, and he pulls the entire red cover off with one swift motion---

*GASP*

Gasping and choking noises could be heard from every direction, jaws began dropping on the floor faster than raindrops on a rainy day, and blood could be seen flowing out of everybodys nose.

A Catastrophic scene. That was the most accurate description of what had happened on this day that will be forever branded into the Souls of these that was lucky enough to witness it, becoming an everlasting Legend that will be passed down from generations to generations until the end of time.
