Chapter 19 Gods are not supreme beings; they too are mortal beings.
After taking a shower, Cai'er changed into a clean and soft set of loungewear and lay comfortably on the hotel's soft bed in a starfish position.
This was one of the few times in recent years that she had truly relaxed.
"Bai Ye, do you think I can win the Demon Hunter Team selection competition this time?" Cai'er asked softly, playing with a strand of her hair that was still damp.
"Nonsense." Bai Ye snorted arrogantly. "If you can't even win a championship after I personally coach you, don't ever say I taught you. I can't bear the shame."
"Hehehe..." Cai'er was amused by his smug tone and giggled, and the slight tension in her heart instantly disappeared.
As night fell, the waiter brought a sumptuous dinner to the room.
To Cai'er's surprise, Bai Ye once again took over the "Shadow of Death" clone and naturally sat opposite her, enjoying the food on the table with her.
"You're the Grim Reaper, do gods also have cravings?" Cai'er asked curiously, skillfully handing a piece of tender roasted meat to her clone's plate, relying on her hearing and sense of smell.
Bai Ye's clone elegantly sliced the roasted meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then chuckled as he replied, "Silly girl, gods are just humans who have mastered powerful divine abilities and lived a long time. They're not as supreme and otherworldly as you imagine."
Cai'er tilted her head, seemingly understanding but not quite. Although she didn't quite get it, she felt happy as long as she could sit and eat with Bai Ye like an ordinary person.
After dinner, Bai Ye contentedly dispersed his clones, and his consciousness returned to Cai'er's sea of consciousness.
"Alright, you've rested enough, let's go out. Let's go check out the grand auction house in Amy City."
"What are we going to the auction house for?" Cai'er asked in confusion as she fumbled for the bamboo cane. She had never been interested in noisy places like that.
"You silly girl, all you do is cultivate and kill. You've never experienced anything interesting in this world," Bai Ye patiently explained. "Auction houses often have some rare and valuable items that might be helpful for your cultivation. Besides, as a member of the Demon Hunter Group, you'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with these places in the future, so consider it a chance to broaden your horizons in advance."
"But..." Cai'er hesitated, squeezing her empty purse. "I don't have much money. The gold coins my great-grandfather gave me are only enough for daily expenses."
"Are you stupid?" Bai Ye sighed in exasperation, reminding him, "Remember those fifth-tier demon corpses, materials, and magic crystals I had you collect in Exorcism Pass these past few months? Sell those things; it'll be enough to buy one or two items for auction!"
Cai'er then realized what was happening and stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
The blind girl put on a veil, picked up a bamboo cane, obediently pushed open the door, and disappeared into the bustling nightscape of Amy City.
Under the cover of night, Le Méridien is brightly lit and bustling with traffic.
As a major hub city extremely close to the Holy City, its prosperity far surpasses that of the Exorcism Pass on the border.
Guided precisely by Bai Ye's divine sense, Cai'er, holding a green bamboo staff, deftly avoided the bustling crowd and soon arrived at the most famous landmark building in Aimei City—the Aimei City Grand Auction House.
Entering the magnificent auction hall, Cai'er went straight to an empty counter.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The staff member behind the counter looked at the petite girl with her eyes covered, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she still maintained a professional smile.
"Send a picture of a demon corpse." Cai'er's voice was cold and flat.
The staff member was slightly taken aback, and then called over a senior appraiser.
"Young lady, we do accept demon corpses, but if the rank is too low, we can only convert them into gold coins directly, which doesn't meet the standards for auction." The appraiser was a middle-aged fat man, and his tone was quite kind.
Cai'er didn't speak, but calmly raised the forget-me-not ring on her fair finger and gently touched it.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
With a series of dull thuds, one after another, huge demon corpses exuding a strong smell of blood were thrown out, instantly filling the spacious counter to the brim!
"This...this is..."
The appraiser's smile froze instantly; his eyes widened and he gasped.
One, two, three... a total of thirteen! And all of them were perfectly preserved, with clean cuts, killed with a single blow!
The most terrifying thing is that, judging from the residual magical energy fluctuations on these corpses, all thirteen corpses were actually fifth-order demons!
The entire auction hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed in shock on the blind girl holding the green bamboo cane.
A blind little girl who looks no more than ten years old actually pulled out thirteen corpses of fifth-tier demons at will?! This is simply unbelievable!
Just as the appraiser was wiping away cold sweat and preparing to process Cai'er's paperwork, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Wait a minute! I heard someone's selling large quantities of high-level demon corpses here? I'll take them!"
Accompanied by a clear and somewhat arrogant voice, a handsome young man with striking long green hair rushed into the hall like a whirlwind.
His sharp gaze swept across the area, instantly locking onto Cai'er and the mountain of demon corpses. His eyes immediately shone like two emeralds.
The young man strode up to Cai'er, confidently tossed his long green hair, and smiled, "Hello, my name is Lin Xin, and I'm a potion master. These fifth-tier demon corpses and magic crystals are crucial for my potion extraction. How about this, I'm willing to offer 10% more than the auction house's estimated price to buy them directly? What do you say?"
Cai'er frowned almost imperceptibly.
She dislikes the noisy atmosphere and even more so, she dislikes people getting too close to her.
She didn't speak, but simply turned her head slightly, as if waiting for the auction house staff to handle the matter.
Lin Xin, unperturbed by being ignored, was about to continue his persuasion when the appraiser stepped forward somewhat displeased: "Young master, everything should be done in an orderly fashion. This young lady has already decided to consign her item for auction at our auction house. Please do not disrupt the order of our auction house."
"Disrupting order?" Lin Xin chuckled lightly, giving the appraiser a once-over. "New here, huh? Never heard of this master's name before?"
