Three bids, and three hundred million was gone just like that!
This display of wealth had everyone looking at Xiao Yifeng with new respect, and he became the focus of the night at the charity dinner.
Sunx Ziyun glanced at Xiao Yifeng, her eyes sparkling with light.
"Are you doing this for charity too?"
Ye Yaxin took another look at Xiao Yifeng.
"Of course, what else?"
Xiao Yifeng replied with a calm demeanor.
Ye Yaxin’s skeptical gaze swept over Xiao Yifeng and Sunx Ziyun.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and a multitude of auction items had all been sold off, with only one remaining item yet to be auctioned: Xiao Yifeng’s Eternal Beauty Elixir.
At this moment, a staff member approached Sunx Ziyun, whispered a few words to her, and she glanced at Xiao Yifeng and nodded.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the final auction item of tonight’s charity event, and this item is a bit special."
The auctioneer began speaking and brought out Xiao Yifeng’s Eternal Beauty Elixir.
People at the event looked at the green pill with puzzled expressions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this pill is known as the Eternal Beauty Elixir. It is provided by Mr. Xiao, the fiancé of Ye Corporation’s President. It is said that taking this pill can make a woman appear ten years younger."
The auctioneer stated indifferently.
"What? Ten years younger?"
"How is that possible?"
"That’s just a fairy tale!"
As soon as the auctioneer made this announcement, the charity dinner erupted into a buzz of excitement, with many people discussing it animatedly.
However, they were all skeptical, since the idea of a pill that could make someone ten years younger seemed like sheer fantasy to these ordinary people.
"If you don’t have anything worthy to auction, don’t bother bringing it up. Trying to pass off a pill by claiming it’s a Divine Medicine that can make someone younger by ten years, do you take us for fools?"
Situ Qian’s chilly, sarcastic voice rose, her gaze sliding over Xiao Yifeng, the target of her comment clear.
Everyone else was looking at Xiao Yifeng with dissatisfaction and anger, clearly thinking that he was playing them for fools.
At this point, Sunx Ziyun’s face also showed embarrassment as she contemplated a solution.
"The many things you don’t believe in don’t cease to exist just because of that. Your disbelief only goes to show your ignorance."
Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly, his words inciting further anger among the influential elites present.
"I guarantee that if anyone who buys this Eternal Beauty Elixir doesn’t look ten years younger after using it, I’ll give her a billion!"
Xiao Yifeng declared directly.
Hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, the crowd once again erupted into a heated discussion.
At this, Sunx Ziyun spoke up directly.
As Sunx Ziyun made her bid, the discussions in the room finally ceased, but no one raised the price, after all, the item was just too fantastical.
Even though Xiao Yifeng had said there would be a hundred million refund if the effects weren’t as claimed, nobody dared to take the risk and consume it. What if there were problems after eating it? Therefore, for a time, only Sunx Ziyun was bidding.
"Ah, such ignorant people!"
Xiao Yifeng lamented.
In the end, the Eternal Beauty Elixir was directly auctioned off to Sunx Ziyun for one million, and Xiao Yifeng said, "Miss Sunx, to let everyone see whether this Eternal Beauty Elixir truly works or not, please consume it here and now. Let them witness the effects, so they can’t accuse me of deception, okay?"
Sunx Ziyun looked at Xiao Yifeng, her eyes sparkling as she nodded.
The pill was quickly handed to Sunx Ziyun by a staff member, who stared at it for several seconds before swallowing it.
All eyes in the room, especially those of the women, were trained unwaveringly on Sunx Ziyun, eager to know if the pill truly had the miraculous effect of returning youth to a woman.
After taking the elixir, dark blotches began to appear on Sunx Ziyun’s skin, and similar spots appeared on her body too.
The crowd watched the scene, their eyes filled with amazement.
"Miss Sunx just needs to cleanse herself, and then the effect will be visible,"
Xiao Yifeng said lightly, with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Sunx Ziyun quickly left the room.
Ten minutes later, as the crowd waited anxiously, Sunx Ziyun reappeared before them. This time, when they saw her,
sighs of admiration and shock were incessant; everyone was struck with amazement, especially the women present, who had their eyes wide open.
Now, Sunx Ziyun’s skin had become exceptionally fair and smooth, glowing with a soft, tender radiance, just like the skin of a newborn baby.
Although Sunx Ziyun’s skin had been well-cared for and showed no signs of aging, she was, after all, a woman in her thirties, which left her at a certain disparity compared to girls of eighteen or nineteen.
But now, that gap had vanished completely. Sunx Ziyun’s skin seemed even better than that of those teenage girls, and her entire being looked radiant and much more beautiful, seeming a decade younger with a visage more breathtaking than before.
"Mr. Xiao, it seems your Eternal Beauty Elixir indeed has a strong effect, thank you!"
Sunx Ziyun approached Xiao Yifeng to express her gratitude. For a woman her age, her appearance and beauty were naturally of utmost concern.
Having spent only a million to look ten years younger, this was undeniably a huge bargain for her. Otherwise, if it were to be auctioned off openly, without several hundred million, she wouldn’t have been able to acquire such an elixir.
After all, the temptation to look ten years younger was irresistible for any woman. Yet, the women present could only watch with regret as this opportunity slipped through their fingers, filled with remorse.
"Sir, do you have any more of this Eternal Beauty Elixir? I am willing to pay ten million for one!"
A female corporate executive in her forties stood up and addressed Xiao Yifeng with an eager look in her eyes.
"I am willing to offer thirty million!"
"I am willing to offer a hundred million!"
Suddenly, a group of women frantically stood up to bid, their gazes fixated on Xiao Yifeng, eyes filled with anticipation.
"I’m sorry, but this was the only pill, sold as is, with no more available. I mentioned before that there’s nothing wrong with this elixir, but you didn’t believe me. I can only say that you have no fate with it, don’t blame me!"
Xiao Yifeng pursed his lips, and the group of women in the room showed disappointed expressions, shaking their heads and sighing.
Even Zi Luo and Situ Qian, looking at Xiao Yifeng, had unusual expressions in their eyes, while only Sunx Ziyun’s eyes flickered with a hint of smug satisfaction.
Soon, the charity auction that evening came to an official close, totaling three hundred and eighty million, with Xiao Yifeng himself contributing three hundred million.
