HRPM – Chapter 400 She is the most cunning

Jin Luoluo’s attention was quickly drawn to the young woman playing the guqin. Among all the women, she wasn’t exceptionally beautiful at first glance, but the longer one looked at her, the more attractive she became. In short, she was the kind of woman whose grace and temperament outshone mere physical beauty.

“Miss Lingluo is skilled in both the qin and board games. She is gentle, considerate, and wonderfully caring. She is also still a virgin. Those who fancy her are welcome to bid. Whoever offers the highest price will win the beauty’s hand.”

The flamboyantly dressed madam stood on the stage, waving her scented handkerchief as she pulled Lingluo forward, introducing her as though she were advertising a valuable commodity.

“I bid one thousand taels!”

Jin Luoluo called out loudly.

The unmistakably feminine voice immediately drew everyone’s attention. Many of the guests let out surprised exclamations.

Some became even more excited.

So this “young man,” who was even more beautiful than the courtesans, was actually a woman.

Without a doubt, this became the most astonishing moment of the evening.

A woman had come to bid at the auction—and not just any woman, but a breathtaking beauty. Watching her was even more captivating than watching the courtesans.

Xiao Yu looked at Jin Luoluo in confusion.

“Luoluo, why are you bidding so early? You should first see what everyone else is offering, then decide how much to bid. Auctions are often psychological battles. The people who rush to make the first move usually lose. You have to stay calm and composed so your opponents can’t read your intentions.”

Jin Luoluo smiled.

“You’re right. But bidding that way only drives the price higher. I want to buy her as cheaply as possible. Don’t worry—just watch my strategy. I guarantee no one will dare compete with me.”

“What a schemer.”

Xiao Che knew she was about to resort to one of her tricks again.

Xiao Luo chuckled appreciatively.

“You really don’t conduct business the conventional way. You’re quite good at using the least amount of money to gain the greatest benefit.”

“I bid—”

A young man in blue robes behind them had just begun to raise his offer.

Jin Luoluo immediately stood up and gracefully turned to face him.

“Young Master, I truly wish to have Miss Lingluo. Couldn’t you be so kind as to let me have her?”

Her voice was as gentle as flowing water, soft as silk, soothing anyone who heard it.

The young man looked at Jin Luoluo’s face, radiant as a blooming flower. Her clear, watery eyes were fixed intently upon him, carrying a faint, vulnerable plea that was utterly intoxicating.

“W-Well…”

The young man hesitated.

Jin Luoluo immediately turned up the charm.

“If Young Master is willing to yield, this humble lady would be delighted to treat you to a banquet at Phoenix Pavilion tomorrow.”
