The Crown!

When they saw the crown on the body of the wine bottle, everyone in the private room felt as if their breathing stopped, plunging the place into a deathly silence, with only the sound of their pounding hearts remaining!

The crown is one of the hallmarks of Emperor's wine!

This type of embossed bottle is a super anti-counterfeit label, something that is simply impossible to replicate in the wine industry!

Globally, there are ten most famous wineries, each with hundreds of years of history, and naturally, they house Emperor's wine!

It could even be said that the Emperor's wine in these top ten wineries accounts for over ninety-nine percent of the global stock.

Regrettably, the Emperor's wine from these top ten vineyards is not for sale to the public; it's their signature trademark, the treasure that establishes the winery's prestige!

Every few years, each winery releases a new series of wines to the market and includes a bottle of Emperor's wine within the series as the biggest draw!

However, those Emperor's wines are hidden among the series of wines, and anyone wishing to obtain one must rely on incredible luck and a discerning eye!

And now, the Emperor's wine in front of them, with its embossed crown on the bottle, was undoubtedly the one from the Bordeaux Kelude winery's '87 series of red wines!

Yet, despite the '87 series having been on the market for decades, there had never been word of anyone finding the Emperor's wine until now...

At this moment, everyone's heart nearly leaped out of their chests. Emperor's wine was extremely rare; not to mention whether someone could actually find one from a series of wines, even if they did, it would be sold at an astronomical price!

This was undoubtedly the best-selling and priceless rare treasure in the world!

The supreme ruler among wines!

"No... Impossible!!!"

At this moment, Wan Shaoling was the most shocked of all, his slender phoenix eyes bulging as they shone with utter disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

This bottle of wine had been casually brought out by him. Previously, Ye Feng had identified it as a fake, and even he himself had thought so, apologizing to the other party.

After that, he had picked the best '92 vintage of Royal Eagle Cabernet from this place, and this bastard only then informed him and everyone else that the previous bottle of fake wine was actually Emperor's wine!

Wan Shaoling felt like he had been led by the nose through this series of events by Ye Feng, leaving him with a feeling of utter frustration, almost to the point of spitting blood.

This was just too damn tricky!

He had not only apologized to the other party for this bottle of wine that he brought, but in the end, the other party used the same bottle to slap his face. The feeling was super, excruciatingly sour...

And while Wan Shaoling was on the verge of spitting blood from his frustration, the excitement and frenzy of the others in the private room had reached its zenith!

Once an Emperor's wine appeared, it would be the hottest commodity and certainly chased feverishly by all the super-elite and wealthy around the globe at sky-high prices!

And now that the bottle was right in front of them, how could the many rich heirs present let the opportunity pass?

Instantly, the eyes of each person nearly turned red. If any one of them got the bottle, they could immediately take over their family business, and even mingling with the top tier of China's elite wouldn't be difficult.

"Ye... Young Master Ye! I don't know if you're selling this bottle of wine? I am Pang Lin, the young master of Bai Feng Pavilion, and I am willing to spend 10 million to purchase it!"

One of the young men reacted fastest, his face filled with eagerness as he spoke to Ye Feng.

And upon hearing this, everyone else quickly caught on.

"Come on, Pang Lin, are you stupid? You think you can buy Emperor's wine for ten million? Did you not wake up properly?" mocked another scion condescendingly, before excitedly saying to Ye Feng:

"Young Master Ye! I'm willing to offer 50 million to buy this bottle of Emperor's wine!"

As soon as his words fell, before Ye Feng could reply, the rest of the people went crazy shouting.

"I'll bid 80 million, sell me the Emperor wine!"

"I'll bid 100 million! This bottle of wine is mine!"

"I'll bid 200 million! Ye Feng, sell me the wine!"

...

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the private room was like a pot exploding. One after another, the boisterous voices echoed incessantly, and even some wealthy young masters had begun to fight physically over the bidding prices.

The frenzied atmosphere instantly drove the price of the Emperor wine up to as much as 500 million! Yet, the clamor of bidding continued unabated, and the price was climbing swiftly.

Actually, although this bottle of Emperor wine was much more precious than the '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet, its intrinsic value as a wine was only in the tens of millions.

What made it expensive was its extreme rarity!

The principle that rarity breeds value was at play here!

Think not of 500 million, even if purchased for 1 billion, it would undoubtedly be all profit, no loss, because once it was placed in an international auction, the level of wealth that the super elite tycoons would throw at it could instantly blow this price out of the water!

None of those inside the private room were fools; they saw that the Emperor wine was a guaranteed moneymaker, which is why they were frantically trying to snap it up and stash it in their collections!

At this moment, Wan Shaoling's and Qi Jian's faces were washed over with waves of burning pain!

Being slapped in the face hurt, being slapped by someone else hurt even more, but being slapped with the wine one personally picked out hurt the most!!!

Wan Shaoling's expression was tinged with an air of defeat, like a rooster that had lost a fight, and he even felt that the way others looked at him had changed, their original respect now laced with mockery and ridicule!

Mockery for always being led by the nose by Ye Feng, ridicule for his blind judgment!

This was Wan Shaoling's most thorough defeat since childhood, the most embarrassed, the one where he was utterly powerless to fight back!

This feeling of humiliation drove him insane!

However, the atmosphere inside the private room climbed again, as the bidding war had broken past 1 billion!

Every wealthy scion had bloodshot eyes, one side making calls to their families, the other frenziedly bidding—the fiery atmosphere undoubtedly surpassed most auction houses!

On the other hand, the little monkey and Jiang Ying had already been dumbfounded!

From a bottle of poor wine everyone despised to now the fervently sought-after Emperor wine!

This incredible turnaround was too unbelievable, and if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death!

"This guy… why is he always so unexpected!" Jiang Ying looked at Ye Feng, her pretty face full of a bitter smile, while her heart had already fallen for him deeply.

She still remembered a sentence Ye Feng had once said to her and Shu Yuehua.

Tasting wine is like appreciating women, he could discern the most perfect woman, and it seems he could also discern the most perfect wine!

Jiang Ying had seen various extraordinary abilities of Ye Feng before, so she could still accept them, but it was different for the little monkey, who was completely dumbstruck!

His brain seemed to have frozen, staring blankly at everything unfolding in front of him as if in a dream.

"Delicious food isn't better than dumplings, fun isn't better than flirting with your sister-in-law, it turns out that love isn't better than... a cousin-in-law..."
