At that moment, the two girls, dressed only in their undergarments, were displayed for all to see inside the cage. They were trembling with fear, their eyes full of terror.
The sight of the two girls instantly sent the crowd into a whirlwind of astonishment.
“Damn, they’re really beautiful…”
“Biggo, where did you find such beautiful human girls?”
“They could be my slaves!”
All eyes were locked on the girls as the crowd shamelessly hurled Obscenities their way.
Flaxseed’s eyes sparkled with excitement, his Adam’s apple bobbing as bit his lip so hard it seemed could barely contain himself. It was as if was on the verge of leaping onto the stage.
“See? I told you this was a top-tier item! Five hundred celestial coins is a bargain. If you’re interested, go ahead and place your bid, starting at five hundred celestial coins. The highest offer takes it,” Biggo said.
“Five hundred and five…”
“Five hundred and six…”
“Five hundred and seven…”
People quickly began to bid, although the increments were not particularly large. It was evident that most in the crowd were struggling financially, adding only ten celestial coins at a time.
Huddled together, the two girls had been reduced to mere commodities, stripped of their rights with no hope of resistance.
Just as animals were bartered in the mundane world, the celestial realm mirrored the same cruel reality. Here, humans, beasts, and demons stood on equal footing. There were moments when even humans were treated as nothing more than tradeable goods.
“I’ll offer a thousand!” Flaxseed, standing next to Jared, suddenly shouted out.
Flaxseed’s exclamation was like a sudden thunderclap on a clear day, instantly silencing the entire crowd.
Everyone else had been cautiously increasing their bids in small increments of ten celestial coins. Yet, someone had suddenly shouted out an astonishing bid of one thousand celestial coins in one go.
All eyes turned to Flaxseed, Including the towering figure on stage, who appeared visibly shaken, his gaze fixed intensely on him.
Under the weight of countless stares, Flaxseed remained completely unfazed. After all, was a level-six manly immortal. There was hardly a situation hadn’t faced before. To him, a thousand celestial coins were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
However, Flaxseed had overlooked one thing. They had just been guided here by the heaven and earth laws. None of them actually possessed celestial coins.
Jared, for one, had a fair amount of spirit coins, along with celestial crystals, divine weapons, and spiritual tools that had acquired from others. Unfortunately, while these items held great value in the Ethereal Realm, they were rendered useless in the celestial realm.
In the Ethereal Realm, celestial crystals were considered the ultimate resource, but upon reaching the celestial realm, its worth diminished entirely.
“Mr. Flaxseed, do you have any celestial coins?” Jared asked in a low voice.
“Uhm…” Only then did Flaxseed realize had none.
He was no longer the level-six manly immortal once was. At this point, couldn’t even be considered a wandering immortal.
“My friend, I see you’ve arrived by following the heaven and earth laws, but I never expected you to be so generous!” Biggo exclaimed enthusiastically. “A thousand celestial coins, and these two human girls are yours!”
Flaxseed forced an awkward smile before asking, “My friend, do you happen to offer credit here?”
Biggo paused, his expression shifting to mild irritation. “Huh? Are you playing games with me? You don’t actually have celestial coins, do you?”
“Of course I do! I’ve just been a little short on celestial coins lately!” Flaxseed vehemently denied not having any celestial coins.
“Dammit, you were just messing with me!” Biggo roared in fury, lunging at Flaxseed without hesitation.
The sudden attack took Jared and his companions by surprise. Biggo had already reached the wandering immortal level.
Upon seeing Biggo taking action, everyone else quickly scattered to the sides.
“How dare a mere wandering cultivator lay a hand on me!” Flaxseed, now equally enraged, let out a cold snort before retaliating with a swift slap.
With that single strike, fell to the ground, blood spewing from his mouth.
“Mr. Flaxseed…” Jared hurriedly stepped forward, helping Flaxseed to his feet. “What are you playing at? You’re not some a manly immortal now.”
“Damn, I completely forgot…” Flaxseed muttered helplessly.
