Divine Seal: I, the Grim Reaper, am kept by the yandere Cai'er.

As he spoke, Lin Xin casually pulled out a card from his pocket that was entirely black and inlaid with intricate gold edges, held it between two fingers, and waved it in front of the appraiser.

The appraiser's expression changed drastically the moment he saw the black card. His previous arrogance instantly transformed into respectful flattery: "Oh! It's Master Lin! You've been so blind! With our auction house's top-tier black card, you naturally have the right of first refusal to purchase any item!"

Having won over the appraiser, Lin Xin turned around smugly, striking what he considered a handsome pose that could charm countless girls, and looked at Cai'er: "How about it, little sister? You've seen my skills, haven't you? Sell it to me, you definitely won't lose out."

"Pfft..." In his mind's eye, Bai Ye looked at the green-haired youth outside who was frantically spreading his tail feathers like a peacock and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Cai'er, this guy is a real character, but the price he offered is indeed fair. It'll save us trouble if we sell to him."

Cai'er silently hummed in agreement.

At this moment, Lin Xin, who had been posing for a while, finally realized that something was wrong.

He carefully examined the girl in front of him, who was veiled in black, and was surprised to find that her beautiful eyes were empty and lifeless, and she was holding a bamboo staff for probing the way.

"A blind...blind girl?"

Lin Xin was slightly taken aback. His previously fervent mood instantly cooled down, and a clear look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The reason he was so enthusiastic in striking up a conversation was not only because he really needed the demon corpses, but also because he guessed that the young man who could produce so many fifth-tier corpses was very likely a top genius who was going to the Holy City to participate in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition!

Although Lin Xin is a genius potion master, he has a fatal weakness—he doesn't know any offensive magic!

For the sake of his future life in the Demon Hunter group, he urgently needed to find a powerful ally to rely on.

But now, upon closer inspection, it turns out the other person is a blind woman!

How could a little girl who can't even see the road be a contestant? She's probably just a maid from some wealthy family running errands for her elders.

"Sigh, what a waste of excitement." Lin Xin sighed inwardly, but still readily pulled out a large stack of gold notes. "Thirteen fifth-tier corpses in total. Including magic crystals, I'll round it up for you to thirty-five thousand gold coins. How about that?"

Cai'er nodded calmly, took the gold note, and carefully put it into her bosom.

Just then, the revolving door in the hall was pushed open again.

A group of three people walked in, attracting attention.

The leader was a handsome young man with a pure and innocent demeanor.

Beside him were two beautiful girls, one with flamboyant fiery red hair and the other with elegant ice-blue hair.

It was Long Haochen, Li Xin, and Lin Jialu who had come all the way from Haoyue City to participate in the competition.

The three of them had just reached the counter to inquire about consignment auctions when they happened to witness Lin Xin spending 35,000 gold coins to buy a huge pile of corpses.

At the same time, their gazes naturally fell on Cai'er, who was about to turn and leave.

"What a beautiful girl..." Lin Jialu exclaimed softly in surprise.

Although Cai'er was wearing a black veil, her cool and ethereal temperament still made it impossible to look away.

"How pitiful, she's blind." Li Xin looked at the bamboo cane in Cai'er's hand and shook her head regretfully.

Long Haochen also quietly watched the petite black figure from behind. For some reason, looking at the girl walking alone in the darkness, his pure knightly heart felt a slight tremor.

"Huh? You're here to sell demon corpses too?"

Beside him, Lin Xin, who had just been disappointed, perked up his ears instantly upon hearing Li Xin's words.

He keenly observed the three young men and women before him, who possessed extraordinary bearing, and his radar went off instantly.

Age! Demeanor! Obvious signs of travel! He's definitely a competitor heading to the Holy City!

"Hehe, you three, let's get acquainted. I am Lin Xin..." Lin Xin instantly forgot about the blind girl and skillfully put on a warm smile. He stuck to Long Haochen and the other two like a piece of chewing gum and began his usual tricks of getting information and winning them over.

Meanwhile, Cai'er ignored the noisy conversation behind her.

Carrying a huge sum of money, the blind girl, respectfully led by a waiter and holding a bamboo cane, calmly walked into the luxurious auction hall.

She sat down in a soft seat near the front, quietly waiting for the auction to begin, a rare hint of anticipation rising in her heart—what good things would Brother Baiye have sent her here?

As a melodious chime rang out, the dome of the Emmy City Grand Auction House slowly darkened, and a dazzling spotlight shone on the central exhibition platform.

A mature woman with a hot figure, wearing a fiery red slit dress, gracefully walked onto the stage.

Her name is Xingxuan, and she is the top chief auctioneer in Aimei City. Her slender waist, long, fair legs, and charming smile instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire auction hall the moment she appeared.

"Distinguished guests, good evening. Welcome to the Amy City Grand Auction House..." Xingxuan's voice was charming and seductive, skillfully stirring the emotions of the entire room.

The auction proceeded smoothly, with high-level demon crystals, rare century-old spiritual herbs, and even the "Jade Body Protection Pill" refined by the green-haired youth Lin Xin being auctioned off at high prices.

Meanwhile, Cai'er, who was sitting in the front row, had lost her sight and could only immerse her consciousness in the sea of ​​spirits, "watching" the lively auction by sharing her consciousness with Bai Ye.

But as she watched, a ripple of unease inexplicably stirred in Cai'er's originally calm heart.

Because she keenly noticed that Bai Ye's gaze seemed to always linger, intentionally or unintentionally, on the auctioneer in the red dress on stage.

Looking at Xingxuan's mature, charming, and graceful figure, and then looking down at her own thin, undeveloped body, a strange, bittersweet feeling instantly welled up in her heart.

"Bai Ye..." Cai'er muttered softly in her mind, a hint of jealousy in her voice that she herself didn't realize, "Do you... really like her type of woman?"

Bai Ye was watching the auction on stage with great interest when he heard this. He nodded naturally and casually replied, "It's alright. A beautiful woman is always desirable to a gentleman, right? Don't most men like women who are pretty and have good figures?"

Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Cai'er's face immediately fell.

She turned away in a huff, her back to Bai Ye, and sat silently in a corner of her mind, radiating a resentful aura that seemed to say, "I'm angry, come and coax me."
