"Hurry up and tell us! What's the story behind it, is it suitable or not!" Miao Shiyun urged.

Luo Chao gave a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "She's really asking for it!"

Clearing his throat, Luo Chao said in a faint voice, "In ancient Huaxia, especially during the Han Dynasty, some nobles and emperors had a burial system after death. It is said that when a person is buried, their nine orifices must be plugged, so this item is also called Nine Orifice Plugs."

As Luo Chao stopped here and seemed hesitant to continue, Zhou Delong and Miao Shiyun both nodded repeatedly as they listened.

Miao Shiyun noticed Luo Chao's hesitation and quickly asked, "You're saying this is a Nine Orifice Plug, so what does 'nine orifices' mean?"

Luo Chao originally wanted to stop there, but seeing Miao Shiyun's insistence, he had to continue, "The nine orifices, to put it simply, refer to a person's two eyes, two nostrils, two earholes, one mouth, and... the genitalia and anus. It is believed that if these nine orifices are plugged with the Nine Orifice Plugs at the time of death, it ensures that the person's soul does not leave the body and the corpse never decays. This was a way ancient people prayed for immortality."

"And this item, specifically, is one of the Nine Orifice Plugs, used to plug the deceased's anus!"

Without looking, Luo Chao could imagine the vibrant expression on Miao Shiyun's face at that moment!

"Ah? An... anal plug?!"

Miao Shiyun furrowed her thin eyebrows, her mouth slightly open, her face flushed red, while she stared at Luo Chao with a peculiar look, as if she regarded him as a pervert.

Luo Chao unintentionally caught a glimpse of Miao Shiyun's gaze and felt quite helpless inside, quickly saying, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that! You're the one who insisted I explain!"

"Tch, pervert!"

Miao Shiyun said the "tch" loudly, but the word "pervert" was said very softly, yet Luo Chao still heard it with his keen hearing.

Luo Chao couldn't help but lament in his heart, "What a misfortune! Why am I always misunderstood by beautiful women? Clearly, I'm such a righteous man!"

Meanwhile, people had begun bidding for this Han Dynasty Jade Anal Plug.

"500,000! I want this item!"

"I'll pay 800,000!"

"1 million!"

In no time, the price of the Jade Anal Plug had been auctioned to a million.

These people, unlike Luo Chao and Miao Shiyun, didn't know the true use of this jade item; they only knew that anything from the Han Dynasty must be a treasure.

At that moment, a familiar chubby figure suddenly squeezed near Luo Chao and the others.

The person wore a thick gold chain around his neck, and Luo Chao instantly recognized him as Li Dabao, the jerk who drove the Volkswagen Phaeton in the morning and whom he had taught a lesson.

However, with the crowd being so dense, while Luo Chao spotted Li Dabao, Li Dabao didn't see Luo Chao.

Li Dabao was holding the hand of a woman in black silk attire, suggesting he had brought his mistress along to explore the antique market.

After Li Dabao regained consciousness later that morning, he realized that he had to pay a fine of 2 million before he could retrieve his 1.88 million Volkswagen Phaeton.

Li Dabao hardened his heart and decided to abandon the car; in his opinion, the fine was more expensive than the car, so giving up the car saved him 120,000.

Anyway, he had no regard for the law; even if he didn't have a license, he'd drive once back home.

Li Dabao wasn't very tall, making him blend into the crowd even more.

When he passed by earlier, he heard someone mention a Han Dynasty treasure being auctioned, which piqued his interest.

As a country bumpkin boss with little education, he particularly enjoyed dabbling in the same antiquities that intellectuals favored.

Seeing so many people bidding, he was eager to join in.

However, as he just arrived and was not very tall, he couldn't clearly see what was on the auction platform and occasionally had to tiptoe while trying to find out more about the item's background from those around him.

Of course, the people around him also didn't know what this jade item was, only telling him it's a Han Dynasty treasure.

Observing this scene, Luo Chao rolled his eyes, remembering Li Dabao's arrogance from that morning vividly.

He thought, for an unruly country boss like Li Dabao, just losing a car was too lenient.

With this thought in mind, a scheme formed in Luo Chao's mind. He suddenly covered his mouth and shouted in a sharp, loud voice amidst the crowd.

"Damn, isn't this the jade chopsticks of Emperor Liu Bang from the Han Dynasty! It's said that the Emperor could only eat using these jade chopsticks!"

Luo Chao's shout instantly had its effect, as more people started bidding, driving the price up.

Upon hearing someone mention the treasure as Emperor Liu Bang's chopsticks, Li Dabao was momentarily stunned!

He had no idea who Liu Bang was, but he understood the meaning of the word "Emperor."

In his view, the Emperor's chopsticks were items personally used by the Emperor and thus treasures imbued with dragon energy!

Li Dabao felt his luck had been terrible lately.

Not only was he beaten that morning, but his car was also confiscated by the traffic police. Even his black coal mine back home was frequently in the media spotlight.

Concerned that his luck was getting worse, Li Dabao deemed it necessary to buy something with emperor's dragon energy to ward off evil!

By relying on this dragon energy, he could boost his luck!

With this in mind, Li Dabao quickly raised his hand, shouting, "1.4 million! I'll buy it!"

Li Dabao's bid of 1.4 million brought a brief silence to the scene.

The price of the item had continued to rise modestly after reaching a million, with each increment being only five or six thousand. After several rounds, it had just stabilized at 1.2 million.

But Li Dabao, with his deep pockets, was afraid someone else would snatch up the treasure and suddenly bumped the price from 1.2 million to 1.4 million!

As no one dared to outbid for a while, everyone thought Li Dabao, the country boss, was about to take the treasure for 1.4 million when suddenly, a disharmonious voice rang out from the crowd, "1.41 million!"

The person who bid 1.41 million, of course, was Luo Chao.

"Damn! Who dares to challenge me! I'll show you the power of capital!" Li Dabao fumed inside.

At the same time, he shouted again, "1.5 million!"

Seeing Li Dabao raise the bid again and by nine thousand at once, Luo Chao knew he had taken the bait.

Thus, Luo Chao shouted again, "1.51 million!"

Luo Chao purposely increased by only one thousand each time to provoke Li Dabao; he was intentionally agitating him!

"1.6 million!"

"1.61 million!"

"1.7 million!"

"1.71 million!"

Luo Chao faced off against Li Dabao four times, and Li Dabao's patience was now at its limit.

He swore he must have this "chopsticks of Emperor Liu Bang" today!

Determined, Li Dabao shouted angrily, "Damn it! 2 million! Let's see if anyone dares to outbid me! Come on!"
