Half a month later, Jiang Feng and the others arrived in Aimei City.
Aimei City was one of the Temple Alliance's most prosperous major cities, second only to the Holy City, where the alliance was headquartered.
Located deep within alliance territory, it had scarcely ever suffered the ravages of war.
Aimei City was not far from the Holy City, just over four hundred kilometers away. Traveling at full speed, Jiang Feng and the others could reach it in two days.
With four days left before the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament began, they found a hotel to rest for the time being and planned to resume their journey the next day.
By Jiang Feng's calculations, today seemed to be the day Long Haochen and Lin Xin first met.
He took a shower in his room, changed into clean, tidy clothes, and headed out. He intended to visit the Aimei City Auction House and sell the bodies of the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon and Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon he had on hand while he was there.
However, as Jiang Feng stepped out of his room, he ran into Jiang Xinran.
"Were you looking for me?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Yes. Come out for a stroll with me," Jiang Xinran said with a smile.
"But I have something to do right now," Jiang Feng said, scratching his head.
"What is it? Can you take me along?" Jiang Xinran asked curiously.
"I'm going to the auction house," Jiang Feng said.
"To sell those two Demon Race corpses?" Jiang Xinran caught on.
"Yes, and see whether I can catch an auction and buy a few things while I'm there." Jiang Feng nodded.
"Great, I'll come too," Jiang Xinran said.
The Temple Alliance Auction House in Aimei City stood in the bustling city center. It was an enormous white oval building that could accommodate ten thousand bidders.
Jiang Feng gazed at the almost absurdly large building, a little stunned.
The two entered the auction house and approached the appraisal counter on the left, where they happened to overhear a conversation.
"Brother, sell it to me for two thousand gold coins. I need part of the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon for a medicine," said a young man with green hair.
Jiang Feng's pupils narrowed slightly. Surely it couldn't be that much of a coincidence.
Although he had worked out that Long Haochen would also arrive in Aimei City today, running into him by chance like this still surprised him. It seemed he had not arrived too late.
He looked at the four people ahead of him, two men and two women. A Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon's corpse lay on the appraisal counter.
Both girls were stunningly beautiful, yet they still fell slightly short of the two males.
The boy with black hair and golden eyes in particular had a face that would drive even women wild with envy. Put him in women's clothes, and he would be an absolutely breathtaking beauty.
At that thought, Jiang Feng glanced at Jiang Xinran beside him. Good. She can still beat him in looks.
Jiang Xinran was indeed beautiful. Otherwise, Yang Zhan and Wang Zhen would not have been so infatuated with her, even becoming somewhat hostile toward Jiang Feng because of it.
If Long Haochen's appearance could be called flawless, then Jiang Xinran's beauty could leave time itself spellbound.
Besides, Long Haochen was a man, after all. With such a flawless face, would he look as though he were pouting even when he got angry?
The very thought sent a shiver down Jiang Feng's spine.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Xinran waited behind the four of them. Once he heard Lin Xin and Long Haochen settle their deal, he stepped forward.
"Excuse me, I happened to overhear that you're buying magical beast corpses?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Yes, but only high-tier ones, like this Fifth Order Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon." Lin Xin turned around, his dark green hair swinging. When he looked at Jiang Feng, his expression suddenly changed in shock. "Damn, what's going on today? I've met two men more handsome than me in a row. That makes no sense!"
Long Haochen and the two girls turned their attention to Jiang Feng as well.
Judging by their features, Jiang Feng could guess that the tall girl with long pink hair and pinkish-blue eyes was Li Xin, while the girl of medium build with long pale blue hair, fair skin, and the refined air of a young lady from a distinguished family was probably Lin Jialu.
"I have a Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon too." With a faint smile, Jiang Feng took a corpse with a mangled, bloody face out of his Storage Ring and laid it on the appraisal counter.
"No magic crystal, huh? I'll offer two thousand gold coins. Consider it a gesture of friendship," Lin Xin said readily.
"Deal. Do you want this one too?" Jiang Feng took out the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon's corpse.
"That's a Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, a Sixth Order powerhouse of the Demon Race?" Lin Xin said in disbelief. "You even have something this good?"
Lin Xin continued, "A shame this one has no magic crystal either. I'll offer ten thousand gold coins. How about it?"
Naturally, Jiang Feng had kept the magic crystals for himself. The magic crystals of high-tier Demon Race members were extremely precious, and with his future plans in mind, he certainly would not sell them to anyone else.
"Deal," Jiang Feng said with a faint smile.
"All right, give me your Magic Crystal Card, and I'll transfer the money," Lin Xin said.
Once Jiang Feng took out his Magic Crystal Card, Lin Xin promptly transferred twelve thousand gold coins to him.
With the transaction complete, Lin Xin enthusiastically draped an arm around Jiang Feng's shoulders. "Brother, what's your name?"
"Jiang Feng."
"A fine name. And who is this?" Lin Xin looked at Jiang Xinran beside Jiang Feng. A flicker of admiration appeared in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it.
"Jiang Xinran, my companion," Jiang Feng introduced her.
"Brother Jiang Feng, you're here for the auction, aren't you? Why don't you come in with me? I have a private box inside," Lin Xin offered warmly.
"Then let's go together." Jiang Feng accepted with a smile.
Lin Xin turned to call to Long Haochen and the two girls. "Brother Long, let's go."
Lin Xin led the way, with Jiang Feng and Jiang Xinran following behind.
"Jiang Feng, this guy's hair is so green!" Jiang Xinran deliberately fell to the back and leaned close to whisper in Jiang Feng's ear.
Jiang Feng chuckled without saying anything.
"Brother Jiang Feng, let me introduce you. This is Brother Long, whom I just met. Who would have thought that the three most handsome men in the alliance would finally meet today?"
With one arm around Long Haochen and the other around Jiang Feng, Lin Xin declared this with exuberant gusto, chuckling as he spoke.
His words made everyone smile, and Long Haochen even blushed a little.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, remained composed. He knew how handsome he was, but he took no pride in it. After all, if good looks could be converted into Spiritual Power, his would have surpassed a million long ago.
The group arrived at the private box, where a dedicated maid greeted them.
The box was spacious, a full hundred square meters, with lavish furnishings and a clear view of the auction stage ahead.
"Brother Jiang Feng, Brother Long, ladies, please sit, please sit. You've really saved me in my hour of need today. I happened to need Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon corpses to make medicine, but I couldn't find any no matter how hard I looked. Luckily, I met you," Lin Xin said earnestly.
"What kind of medicine are you making, Brother Lin?" Long Haochen asked curiously.
With a chuckle, Lin Xin took out a crystal bottle containing three scarlet pills. "Look, I call these Great Strength Pills, but I'll keep their effects a secret for now. The auction is about to start. You'll find out in a little while."
Although Jiang Feng said nothing, he could barely contain his excitement. Naturally, he had not come to the auction merely to sell two Demon Race corpses. He had his eye on an item that would soon be put up for auction.
It concerned his mount, so he had to proceed cautiously.
