Why Are There So Many Androgynous Men?

No one had expected that the two of them, who clearly had the ability to contend for the Top Ten, had already decided not to participate in the Final Round.

Of course, it was a personal choice. Even the Holy Temple Alliance could not force them.

Night quietly fell.

After a full day of rest, most of the fatigue from their long journey had faded.

"Little brother, want to go out for a stroll?"

Li Xin and Lin Jialu came to Ye Tian's room again.

"Where to?" Ye Tian asked.

Lin Jialu smiled sweetly. "Didn't we kill quite a few demons earlier? Aimei City happens to have an auction house established by the Holy Temple Alliance, so we can go deal with them."

"Then let's go take a look!"

Naturally, Ye Tian had no objections.

Besides, if he remembered correctly, one of the auction items at Aimei City's auction house this time was a Dragon Egg.

Even if he did not know what it was for, it would not hurt to have a look.

The three of them called Long Haochen and left the hotel together.

Aimei City's Holy Alliance Auction House was located in the city center's most prosperous district.

As they walked down the street, the enormous white oval-shaped building was exceptionally eye-catching.

It looked to be at least twenty zhang tall, reflecting a faint, gorgeous halo beneath the afterglow of the setting sun.

"It's so huge!" Long Haochen raised his head and murmured in amazement.

"Pretty impressive, right?" Li Xin smiled. "And this isn't even the largest auction house. The auction house in Holy City is at least twice as large as this one!"

"How many people would have to attend an auction there at once?"

Long Haochen muttered blankly to himself.

As a youth from a remote border town, when had he ever seen such a grand spectacle? In the past, he could not even have imagined it.

"Let's go in first!"

Li Xin stepped forward and bought four tickets.

Sure enough, while the Holy Alliance Auction House did not charge commission fees, its tickets were truly expensive.

Even ordinary tickets in the back cost one gold coin, and the farther forward the seats were, the higher the price.

Private rooms near the central area even cost one thousand gold coins.

That price could buy two or three decent pieces of Magic Equipment!

"Having connections really is the way to make big money."

Ye Tian played with the Identification token in his hand and could not help shaking his head lightly.

"Come on. Let's first send the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon and Bear Demon corpses for appraisal. They should be auctioned off today."

The group of four stepped into the auction house.

Directly ahead was a vast hall, with a central passage stretching forward all the way into the auction house.

Tall counters stood on either side of the hall, serving respectively as the appraisal desk and the place to collect auction proceeds.

There were more than ten guards on each side. Aside from warriors, some were even dressed as mages.

Just one glance was enough to make people wary of causing trouble.

Quite a few people were already lining up in the appraisal area. Clearly, today's auction had not yet begun.

Ye Tian found the shortest line, and it was soon his turn.

"Hello, I'd like to auction two demon corpses."

The middle-aged man behind the counter glanced at Ye Tian, then lightly pressed something in front of him.

Rumble—

The wall beside the counter slowly lowered, forming a platform several zhang wide.

"Put them here!"

Without wasting words, Ye Tian poured spiritual energy into the Forget-Me-Not Ring.

Two spheres of light shot out simultaneously and landed on the platform before him.

Seeing the two demon corpses that had suddenly appeared, the middle-aged man, who had not cared much before, immediately revealed a look of shock.

"They're actually an Emerald Twin-Blade Demon and a Bear Demon. And judging by this Bear Demon's size, it was at least sixth rank, wasn't it?"

As expected of an appraiser at the Holy Alliance Auction House, he had a discerning eye.

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man rose and leaned forward to carefully inspect the two corpses.

After a moment, he let out a regretful sigh.

"What a pity neither of them has a magic crystal. Otherwise, their value would at least double."

Even so, the corpses alone were still quite valuable.

The Emerald Twin-Blade Demon could be used in medicine, while the Bear Demon's hide could be used to make Leather Armor.

Either one was almost guaranteed to sell.

After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man said softly, "The Emerald Twin-Blade Demon will start at eight hundred gold coins. As for the Bear Demon—"

"Wait!"

An urgent shout suddenly came from behind them.

A figure ran past the line to the counter, lowered his head to look at the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon and Bear Demon before him, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"Good stuff. It's exactly what I need."

"Brother, how about you don't auction them? Name a price and sell them directly to me!"

The newcomer raised his head and began negotiating with Ye Tian.

But when he saw Ye Tian's appearance clearly, he froze, a strange glint flashing through his eyes.

"There are actually people in this world more handsome than me? And two of them appeared at once?"

Hearing such narcissistic words, Ye Tian's mouth twitched.

He admitted that he was handsome, but this fellow before him had nothing to do with being handsome.

His long dark-green hair draped down his back all the way to his waist, while his skin had a crystalline milky-white sheen.

If his voice had been a little softer, people would probably have mistaken him for a woman.

More precisely, he was the same type as Long Haochen.

That was right—an androgynous man!

What exactly was going on with the Holy Demon Continent? The men were actually prettier than the women!

"Name your price. As long as it's suitable, I'll sell them to you."

Ye Tian had already recognized this fellow's identity.

Besides, selling was selling no matter who the buyer was. It was rare to encounter someone so loaded, and his offer would definitely be higher than the auction house's.

But the middle-aged man beside them was unhappy.

"Don't cause trouble. Leave immediately."

"New here?"

The green-haired youth curled his lips and took out a black card from his clothes.

"Do I qualify to make an advance purchase now?"

The middle-aged man, who had been impatient just moments ago, changed expression. After respectfully taking the card and inspecting it, he carefully handed it back.

When he looked at the green-haired youth again, his gaze had turned respectful.

"Esteemed guest, I sincerely apologize. I failed to recognize your status. Please be magnanimous and do not hold it against me."

The green-haired youth waved a hand casually. "Fine, just don't get in my way."

"How about this, brother? I'll give you seven thousand gold coins total for the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon and the Bear Demon."

"Deal!"

Demon corpses without magic crystals were worth about that much.

There was even a slight premium. They could not have sold for that much at the auction house.

"Straightforward, brother. Let's transfer the payment on the spot!"

The green-haired youth waved his hand, and the Emerald Twin-Blade Demon and Bear Demon vanished at the same time.

Clearly, he also possessed a storage Magic Equipment.

"Sister Xin."

Ye Tian did not have a Magic Crystal Card, so he could only have Li Xin handle it.

"We're fated to meet, so let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Lin Xin. I'm a mage, and I also work part-time as a Potion Master. I'm here to participate in the Demon Hunter Squad selection competition."

"What are your names?"

So it really was Lin Xin.

With that green hair, that girlish appearance, and such flamboyance, there could only be him!
