Chapter 413: Chapter 33 Purple Crystal

Gu Xiaoxi reached out to touch the bunny’s ears, but it was arrogantly lying on the sofa, utterly motionless, not even granting her a glance.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but smile, finding it incredibly cute.

"It’s very late now, are you Sharon’s little bunny? Why did you come to my place?" Gu Xiaoxi felt that, as a girl, she had no resistance to such adorable animals.

"If you don’t want to go back yet, then stay for the night, and sleep with me," she said, smiling as she placed the bunny on the bed, and then went to the bathroom to shower and clean herself. When she returned, the bunny was actually sleeping on her bed.

That night, she slept with the bunny next to her pillow.

...

When night fell.

The world was silent, the moon climbed high into the sky, and the stars seemed especially clear when viewed from the island.

In Gu Xiaoxi’s room, it was pitch black, with only a trickle of light seeping in through the window.

The bunny on her pillow suddenly shimmered with a faint blue light.

The next second, the bunny transformed into an incomparably beautiful man.

Yi Si sat at the head of Gu Xiaoxi’s bed, with one hand propped against his cheek, his dark red pupils shimmering as he stared at the sleeping woman for a long while.

"Spiritual Energy?"

He stared incredulously at Gu Xiaoxi in front of him and finally uttered two words after a long moment.

To his surprise, Gu Xiaoxi really possessed Spiritual Energy. Last time, on the boat to Dream Island, he had thought he was mistaken.

Now that he was close to her, he discovered not only did she have Spiritual Energy, but even while sleeping, she could absorb the sparse Spiritual Energy in the air, thus fortifying her Cultivation. Her speed of cultivation was a hundred times faster than his.

Her warm and thick Spiritual Energy made it very comfortable for him to stay by her side.

Since a thousand years ago, he had been cultivating till now, and it had been very difficult for him to make a breakthrough because Earth’s Spiritual Energy could hardly meet his needs for breaking through.

Gu Xiaoxi, on the other hand, not only had a rich Spiritual Power, but her constitution was also a rare Spiritual Body seen once in a millennium. She automatically filtered the impurities in the air and absorbed the Spiritual Power within, thus continuously nourishing her body.

If the Spiritual Power Earth carried now wasn’t so thin, she might be far more incredible than she currently was.

"She really is a strange woman," Yi Si was struggling internally. Should he kill her now, or should he use her to make a breakthrough in his Cultivation?

Killing Gu Xiaoxi now would end future troubles, but his Cultivation would also struggle to make another breakthrough. It was obvious that the latter option was more advantageous for him.

Even if Gu Xiaoxi regarded him as an enemy, what good was it if she couldn’t find out his true identity?

After a full hour of consideration, Yi Si decided that he still needed to stay by Gu Xiaoxi’s side to see if his Cultivation could indeed make another breakthrough.

Thus, the beautiful man once again transformed into a pet rabbit.

In the middle of the night, Gu Xiaoxi opened her eyes, reached out to tease the bunny by her pillow, touched its pretty little ears, and continued to sleep.

Little did she know that at this moment, the bunny by her pillow had disdained her thousands of times. If it weren’t for the fact that it was easier for him to absorb her Spiritual Energy from her palm, he wouldn’t bother to be cuddled by her.

The next day, Gu Xiaoxi took the bunny back to Sharon, who was startled and immediately denied that the bunny was her pet.

Because she was most afraid of fluffy things and would never keep pets. There were no such things in the entire Island Master’s Mansion.

Gu Xiaoxi watched as the little bunny kept clinging to her and with its adorable appearance, her affection exploded.

In the end, she decided to adopt it.

At noon, she went to the grand black market auction held every five years on Dream Island, carrying the little bunny with her.

The scene gathered many people: nobles from various countries, wealthy celebrities, rich merchants, big shots.

They all had more or less the same objective, which was the medicinal herbs auctioned on Dream Island.

It was said that there were four star attractions, not any gems, nor antiques, but Divine Medicines that could bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bones.

Just like Ji Hao and Zhu Jun, they came for the medicinal herbs.

Gu Xiaoxi was just interested in that crystal.

The first round of the auction featured world-famous paintings, antiques, and valuable relics that were quite expensive.

Midway through the auction, some items Gu Xiaoxi could not even imagine were auctioned off, such as: freshly unearthed raw materials and precious stones, and even privately owned islands and real estate were brought up for trade and auction.

Among these, transactions reached up to several billion.

In the latter stage, the first auction item. Gu Xiaoxi finally waited for the gemstone she had been expecting.

When that gemstone was placed on the stage, she could feel the purple crystal in her hand heating up as though there was a force pulling, wanting the two gems to come together.

And the gemstone on the stage suddenly emitted a blinding light.

Immediately, everyone on the scene widened their eyes and gaped in disbelief.

What did they see?

The gemstone was glowing?

At that moment, even the auction etiquette lady was taken aback.

Gu Xiaoxi had no idea such a big event would occur; she immediately hid the crystal in her hand and used her inner strength to block the sensing power between the gemstones.

After a moment, the glowing crystal on the stage gradually returned to normal.

But by then, everyone knew this item was no ordinary object.

The auction lady quickly regained her composure and began to speak, "This item is truly extraordinary. The auction house requests a starting bid of 300 million. So if any of you seated here are interested, you must act quickly."

Since she had been unaware of the crystal’s ability to glow like that, she had no choice but to continue with the auction bravely.

"That purple crystal that just glowed, was it something you all could have staged?" someone asked at that time.

The etiquette lady immediately denied it, "Absolutely not. I have no idea what caused the glow just now, but I can assure everyone that this is a unique treasure, one of a kind!"

"310 million!" someone started the bidding.

And with the first person bidding, the rest pursued relentlessly.

Clearly, those wealthy tycoons all wanted to obtain the crystal and discover whatever secrets it held.

Gu Xiaoxi kept a stern watch over the gemstone.

Ai Xiang turned her head to glance at her and asked in puzzlement, "Are you interested in that thing?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi came back to her senses, her thin lips curved up into a light smile, and she spoke with conviction, "It’s not a matter of interest; I am determined to acquire it."

"I can’t see anything special about it. The light just now was purely a beam, and I couldn’t sense even a trace of power from it. It’s just an inanimate object!" Ai Xiang said candidly.

However, Gu Xiaoxi laughed meaningfully. To others, indeed, it would be a lifeless object.

But to her, it would be a valuable treasure. She’d be willing to buy it even if it cost ten billion, let alone three billion.

Without hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi pushed the red-topped button in front of her.

Her intention was clear: no matter who else bid, she would purchase the item at double the price.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Gu Xiaoxi, and many shook their heads in defeat, choosing to give up. With her pushing the red button, even if the bidding went any higher, they had no hope.

Just as the etiquette lady was about to announce that Gu Xiaoxi had won the item,

a man dressed as a waiter rushed onto the stage in a hurry and whispered a few words into the auction lady’s ear.

Afterward, the treasure was immediately withdrawn.

Looking very apologetic, the etiquette lady turned to the crowd with her gentle voice and said to Gu Xiaoxi, "I’m sorry, but the auction house suddenly changed their mind. This item is worth far more than its current price, so the venue has decided to allow them to withdraw and cancel the auction. Please, everyone, accept our apologies."

"How can that be allowed?"

"Is it really a treasure?"

"It doesn’t seem to have any special characteristics, does it?"

"How could Dream Island go back on its word?"

A chorus of diverse opinions suddenly enlivened the auction scene.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched the crystal in her hand; such a last-minute withdrawal was indeed infuriating.

But no matter what, she had to get her hands on this item!

"Stay here and keep watch. If the Jade Watermelon comes up, strive to win it," Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, a lethal glint passing through them. Now that the Jade Watermelon had been marked with witchcraft by Gu Feng, if someone else got it, it would only bring disaster upon them.

"You be careful! I’ll keep an eye on things here," Ai Xiang nodded.

Gu Xiaoxi handed the rabbit over to Ai Xiang and quickly disappeared from the VIP seats.

On her way, she pursued the crystal at the highest speed.

Finally, the crystal was delivered to a secret room.

Inside the secret room was the crystal’s auctioneer, Zhang Yu. He was a well-known jewelry businessman, and he had acquired the crystal by accident.

Because it had been proven that the crystal’s hardness surpassed even diamonds, especially the purple crystal, which appeared very eye-catching, he had tentatively identified it as the rare Purple Diamond.

The unexpected glowing in the auction had him baffled.
