Amidst the sound of the hissing mist, the hatch slowly opened, releasing a billow of white mist that enveloped the stage.
The woman gradually opened her eyes, her gaze filled with anticipation and contentment. She had experienced the most rejuvenating sleep, the kind that had eluded her during her years of hard work. Now, with wealth and success, she no longer had to worry about her husband's escapades or struggle for survival. These few minutes of rest felt like hours, as if time had stretched and wrapped around her.
As she blinked her eyes, she instinctively reached up to touch her face.
"What!"
Her touch elicited an expression of ecstasy, and she couldn't contain her astonishment.
Gone were the stubborn wrinkles and the once-dry skin. In their place was smooth, supple skin that felt as though she were touching someone else's face, not her own.
Quickly, the woman retrieved a mirror from her bag and held it up to her face.
"It's... it's actually real!"
Her eyes widened with amazement as she looked at her reflection. In the mirror, she saw her twenty-year-old self staring back, radiating a youthful and vibrant aura. Her appearance, enhanced by the makeup she was wearing, was even more stunning than she remembered. She was left in disbelief that such a transformation was possible.
The woman couldn't help but touch her nose, her lips, her ears, and even raise her hair to examine her forehead. The more she explored, the more elated she became.
"Thank you! Thank you so much, Master Fang!"
Tears of joy welled up in her eyes. This was the very image she had always dreamt of. No cosmetic product or procedure could ever achieve this. Only Fang Yan's Universal Repair Fluid had the power to bring her dream to life.
But her gratitude wasn't just for herself. She turned to her husband, who stood nearby, and embraced him tightly.
"Thank you too, dear! You're an amazing husband!"
Fang Yan chuckled, appreciating the heartwarming moment between the couple.
It was true that the husband had allowed his wife to take the lead, but ultimately, he too wanted the miraculous transformation. In reality, it was the husband's decision that paved the way for his wife to experience the rejuvenation process first.
As the woman stepped off the stage, her husband's expression held a mix of envy and longing. The husband seemed to be saying, "Why did she get this incredible opportunity?"
"Wife, you're already stunningly beautiful. There's no need to compete, especially since I have an important engagement in two days. I have to entertain clients and even play football with them. It's a significant occasion that I can't afford to miss!"
The wife, however, was determined. "If I can regain the body I had when I was thirty, and become invulnerable to all poisons, I must have it, no matter the cost!"
Amidst their lighthearted banter, the third auction began to unfold.
Fang Yan addressed the crowd, building on the success of the first two vials. "Now, let's move on to the third vial! The starting price is 100 million, with increments of at least 10 million. Let the bidding begin!"
And so, the bidding war resumed, but this time, the rich participants seemed more prepared and less critical of the price increase. The success of the previous auctions had undoubtedly highlighted the immense value of the Universal Repair Fluid.
"110 million!"
"130 million!"
"160 million!"
"180 million!"
"200 million!"
In a matter of moments, the bidding soared to 200 million yuan, reflecting the determination of the participants to secure this precious commodity.
It was clear that the attendees had come to realize that as the supply of Universal Repair Fluid diminished, the competition for the remaining vials would only intensify. Each vial represented an opportunity to add decades to their lives, a prospect too enticing to pass up.
"470 million!"
"500 million!"
"530 million!"
"600 million!"
The auction hall was once again alive with fervent bidding, as participants vied for the chance to obtain the third vial.
"700 million!"
"720 million!"
"750 million!"
The competitive atmosphere was palpable, and the bids kept climbing.
Amidst the escalating tension, a single bidder shouted, "820 million!"
The announcement of this staggering bid sent shockwaves through the audience. Many attendees were left in awe of the exorbitant figure.
Fang Yan, however, wore a satisfied grin. He had successfully spurred the participants into reaching deeper into their pockets. It was precisely this kind of fervor and desire that he had hoped to ignite.
As the bidding continued, the competitive spirit intensified, showcasing the lengths these wealthy individuals were willing to go to secure their place in the auction.
"820 million once!"
"820 million twice!"
"820 million three times!"
"Sold!"
The gavel struck the podium, sealing the deal and awarding the third vial to
