An Ordinary Auction House Of The Skywing Knight Family (Part 1)

Naiye and Qingliya were already interacting very naturally with each other, and just as Nia Skywing had predicted, the two got along extremely well!
They had only been in contact for such a short time… perhaps not even a few hours had passed?
—If things continued like this and the two could be matched together…
This would be perfect for the Skywing Knight Family! Naiye had already rejected Nia and Xiya, and he wouldn’t even care about this matter.
Even if Naiye and Qingliya’s current relationship looked very friendly, with no emotion at all.
But that didn’t matter; as long as they could be matched it was enough! Besides, the previous generation between the two already had an emotional foundation!
Qingliya’s mother had already left the family, preparing to follow after Naiye’s father!
Nia Skywing covered her mouth with both hands and revealed a seductive smile.
—But Young Master Naiye wasn’t so foolish as to fall for this so easily; if the two proceed slowly like this I just don’t believe it!
As long as the relationship between the two progressed, that was fine—you couldn’t force people into such matters.
As for what she would do if the two did get together?
Would Nia withdraw? Even Xiya?
No, how could that be!
Nia actually felt even more drawn to secret, private romantic affairs!
She put aside her impulsive desires; it was better to discuss the proper matters for now.
“Naiye, do you still have this bionic limb?”
“Only a few were made; these are the last two.”
Young Master Naiye traced a spatial magic array, and two plump, white, indistinct strip-like objects appeared before Nia.
So this was the true form of the bionic limb—it needed to be combined with blood to become a complete, usable limb.
Nia picked one up and inspected it again.
It felt overly soft and squishy to the touch, making it hard to believe it was a bionic limb.
“This can only accept one person’s blood?”
“Only one person, once it’s used with one person’s blood it can’t be used with another’s.”
It seemed the limitation was significant; it couldn’t be widely used.
“Then… can it?”
“No. Only Dr. Emira and I can specially manufacture these, and it takes a lot of time, they can’t be mass-produced.”
Young Master Naiye immediately rejected Nia’s question; at a glance he saw what she intended to do.
Nia could only sigh and give up the idea.
It was obvious these would be expensive, but the Skywing family was not short of money!
Nia was fully confident she could buy them, but sadly Naiye seemed to have seen through her intentions.
In the end Nia sighed and chose to give up.
She then picked up the two soft, squishy strip-like objects with both hands and said to Naiye.
“Naiye, do you want to sell this? Can we go to the Skywing auction house now?”
“An auction house? Your auction house trades freely at any time?”
Nia shook the soft strip-like objects in her hands, closed her eyes, and shook her head.
“This auction house is just our private marketplace. Calling it an auction is more for the atmosphere, for example, to satisfy the shopping psychology of heiresses and young ladies.”
What Nia said was simple, but an auction house that also functioned as a free market?
This was the level of prestige of the Skywing Knight Family!
Naiye was also interested in having a look, and selling the two bionic limbs while he was at it wouldn’t hurt.
He wasn’t particularly excited about it anyway; as long as they sold, that would be fine!
Young Master Naiye followed Nia Skywing into a specially labeled “ordinary” auction house of the Skywing Knight Family.
Miss Qingliya wanted to spend a quiet afternoon tea and didn’t like lively places, so she didn’t come.
An auction venue of this scale was considered only an ordinary free market within the Skywing Knight Family?
In terms of scale and style, the interior decoration of the auction house wasn’t that luxurious: silver chandeliers hung high, white lights, yellow trims, red chairs, and the lighting brightened the entire hall.
A few relatively precious artworks hung on the walls, together they were worth a fortune, yet they were only decorative.
But the floor was still beautiful marble, polished to a shine that reflected the elegant figures of the young ladies.
“Are there any good items today?! I want to buy! I’m going to buy buy buy!”
“Miss, wait! Come look at today’s catalog!”
“I’ll buy all of these! I can’t let others have them!”
“Ignore her! We’ll buy them too! We can’t let others look down on us!”
The atmosphere was indeed lively; upon entering you could hear all sorts of chirping voices inside.
It seemed there were always some young ladies who enjoyed releasing their joyful natures in such places.
This auction house didn’t have many rules; even the chattering of the young ladies echoed everywhere.
They did their best to display their status and wealth!
Although it was called an ordinary auction house, that was only in comparison to other auction houses.
This so-called ordinary Skywing auction house would be at least an upper-tier auction house elsewhere!
And everything here showcased the Skywing family’s unparalleled wealth and taste.
Nia led Young Master Naiye quickly to a private box, one that could satisfy every aristocratic requirement, both quiet and splendid.
Many nobles were very willing to stay a long time in such a small room filled with affluence and nobility!
After all, you could almost taste money in the air!
Such private boxes were a necessity in these auction houses where rivers of money flowed.
After all, after becoming wealthy people always wanted to show off, but due to aristocratic reserve they didn’t want to stay among others.
This was also why the price of a private box could be hundreds of times that of a regular seat and yet still be fully occupied.
Young Master Naiye was used to such occasions and plopped down into a fairly nice chair.
The table beside him was also laid out with small snacks and desserts, and richly fragrant black tea.
—The black tea smelled good, but he suddenly wanted coffee.
Young Master Naiye hadn’t had coffee for some time, and his first thought upon seeing the tea was that.
After all, he personally preferred drinking coffee.
He sipped a bit of tea and then sat in the chair feeling a little bored.
Nia also pulled her chair beside Naiye and sat as demurely and elegantly as she could.
But she couldn’t keep it up for long; soon she kicked off her shoes and revealed white stockings clinging to translucent, flawless thighs.
After all, it was just her and Naiye here, so there was no need to maintain appearances.
She then took out the auction house’s catalog and flipped through it casually.
These were the auction items of the auction house, distributed directly to anyone who came, with no intention of hiding anything about the auctions.
Besides, the items for sale weren’t particularly important, so there was no need to hide things.
“Naiye, do you want to take a look? Maybe there’s something you’d be interested in?”
Nia finished looking quickly; items of this grade and scale held no interest for her.
But being alone in a small box with Naiye now was very pleasant.
“Auction houses like this don’t seem to have anything good, do they?”
“Indeed, occasionally there might be something worthwhile, but it’s still too rare. Our family’s true auction is the annual Golden Auction held by the entire clan! Unfortunately you’ve missed it every time…”
