Chapter 8 Meet the King of Death Again

Have you ever loved someone? Have you ever hated someone?

It was easy to love a person. As long as two people offered their own heart sincerely to each other at the same time, they would feel what love was. However, it was difficult to hate someone, because when you hated him, you would wonder how to do it.

Could you really assess how important he or she was in your mind clearly?

A woman who did fall in love would never let that sincerity and persistence go.

Ronghua stood up and looked at the sun tending to fall, "The man I met did not deserve that."

There were still a lot of people on the street. When the night came, Ronghua would start to suffer again, but here seemed a little different from the Realm of Demons. At night, the lights were bright here. Even in the cold night, people still lived a happy life, while in the Realm of Demons, it would be the best time to hunt prey.

Someone ran over, hit her unintentionally, and apologized at once, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a bit in a hurry." Then he left in his haste. Ronghua looked at the direction they left and realized many people were going there as well. Ronghua grasped one of them, "Excuse me, where are you going?"

The person who was grabbed stopped and looked her up and down, and was then willing to answer for Ronghua had a good appearance. "Shangkang Auction House has new products, so all of them rush to purchase. You are not a local, right?" Looking at Ronghua's vacant face, he could quickly realize that Ronghua hadn’t heard about Shangkang Auction House at all.

"Does Shangkang Auction House have some nice goods?" Ronghua did not know that humans liked holding an auction as soon as they discovered some good stuff. Then a large number of people would come for these and be willing to bid a high price.

The man replied haughtily, "If the things in Shangkang Auction House were bad, then there would be nowhere to find something good! And I'm not exaggerating."

Ronghua smiled faintly, "Well, then I must go there and take a look."

Although she had never seen this kind of auction, she could reckon that it was a place for entertainment by understanding the meaning of the word and observing these people's behavior.

Behind Ronghua, a man was staring at her without a move, "Master, should I follow her?"

The man standing next to him was surrounded by a cold aura, and his eyes were too deep to read his thoughts. It seemed that you would be trapped if you stared at those eyes for too long. "Stalk her and see what she wants to do."

He hadn't come here and reminded her of their agreement for a long time, and she might have forgotten it.

"Yes, master."

He kept watching the way that Ronghua left and murmured, "Ronghua, I gave you a chance. Don't let me down!"

Since the news of new arrivals was sent out temporarily, those rich and powerful ones had not received the invitations yet. The auction house could not afford a large number of guests, so the young master made a bold decision to hold this auction outside. This might make many rich people unsatisfied because such an environment could not match their status, and it would be worse if they bought the treasure but lost their lives for it.

In a word, the young master of Shangkang Auction House really did a feat of great daring.

Due to the decision, this place was so crowded that Ronghua could hardly get in when she arrived. But she wasn’t worried, for she's not here for bidding. She just found a place with an excellent view to be an audience.

She generally looked around and noticed that all of the participants were powerful enough.

This young master was so ambitious. Holding such a special auction, if it ended well, more people would come. Otherwise, the auction house might even be shut down.

"Why not begin? We have waited a long time. Is Shangkang Auction House tricking us?" A rough man yelled.

"No, they won't. Shangkang Auction House is rather credible," said an old man with demeanor of a transcendent being.

The man next to him said indifferently, "I wouldn’t have bought things here if I hadn’t started my trip in a hurry. Picking a booth randomly in the capital city will be much better than this one."

Ronghua cast a glance at that man's supercilious look and couldn't help sneering, "An arrogant man."

However, after more careful observation, she found that the place was indeed unusual. It stood to reason that such a large auction house in a small town near the seaside should have been merged already without proper operation, but it was still here and attracted so many guests. There must be something unknown.

"Did anything happen here?" Ronghua whispered.

After a while, a lump of dark shadow slowly appeared beside her, which was the one above the sea.

"Yes, your grace. There is a golden light here!"

As he finished the last word, Ronghua looked at him in a shock. The golden light? Was it the GOLDEN LIGHT she was thinking?

"Where did it come from?" She could not believe that such things could be seen everywhere.

"It's from ..." He stopped and hesitated and seemed to have a scruple about something.

Ronghua struck him directly, "Don't waste my time. Say it."

The man, who knelt, saw that Ronghua was very sullen. He knew it couldn't be concealed anymore, so he simply replied, "They exchanged it from someone."

"What?" Ronghua asked in fury.

He saw her anger and knew she had no tolerance for such a thing. Hence he told her all he knew, "In fact, the news was spread out just now from Shangkang Auction House. They announced that whatever kinds of wounds you got, they would immediately recover if you absorb this light into your body."

Ronghua contemplated for a while. Indeed, this was the function of that golden light, and that's the reason why the gods would recover themselves soon without any drug after getting injured. That's a gift to the gods, but also a constraint. It could only work in their own body, not in others’.

If it was used for others, it meant that one would like to sacrifice himself or herself for others. Here, unexpectedly, someone owned the golden light. The pain of taking the light out of a god was much more than that of peeling off the skin and pulling out tendons.

The circumstances seemed quite complicated here.

"Go and check who made this deal."

"Yes, your grace." He took the order and left. Ronghua was still wondering who took it out. The golden light of a god was limited. The gods did not need to fight, so they were not given so many talents, such as detaching the golden light. If all of them had not been able to detach it, it might have been separated a long time ago and sold again this time.

Ronghua grazed her eyes with one hand, and they became brighter at once, shining with unusual blonde light. She checked around again because she could have seen the evidence right now if anyone had touched the golden light. But she did not find anything. It did not make sense. The golden light belonged to the gods, and it was impossible that she failed to seek out the owner.

When she was puzzled, a voice that made her tremble came, "Our princess Ronghua seemed to have a leisure time recently."

Ronghua turned her head stiffly and looked at the figure floating in the air behind her. He hid his whole body in the dark, and only those blood-red eyes could be seen clearly.

"The King of Death, how have you been since I saw you last?" She managed a wry smile, greeting him and gazing at the man in the night. She knew why he came. Although it was not the right time, she still wanted to have a try.

"The deadline of our agreement is approaching." As she expected, he came for this. Ronghua forbore the qi in her heart stealthily. She looked around to find a way to leave, but her hand had clenched a long sword behind her back, "It's not the deadline yet. Don't be so impatient."

She was about to leave with an attack, but he asked unexpectedly, "Are you investigating the golden light?"

Ronghua dispelled the plan to escape, "So do you know this, King of Death?"

Then she saw him coming closer slowly, with his bloody eyes looking into hers, "Of course I know where it came. It was I that gave them the golden light."
