Chapter 386: The Eve of the Auction

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this funeral, a huge shell became the focus of the audience.

The shell was decorated with flowers and seaweed, and the dead mermaid lay in it. However, the shell was tightly closed, and people could only see the portrait decorated with flowers on the outside.

‘ It’s said that the bodies of the mermaids won’t rot because of death. They will remain at the bottom of the sea and return to the sea in a new form after a few years. Therefore, the mermaids are rarely a race that is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld.” Ming Ze said.

Ji Jing suddenly understood. No wonder even the reapers came to the celebration so leisurely. Because they were not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, the mermaid race would not be like humans or other demons. They would not think that the arrival of the reapers was a symbol of death and an unlucky thing.

Thinking about it this way, this was probably a place where reapers were rarely welcomed, right?

The mermaids danced around the shells, singing merrily as they wished the dead to rest in peace. They threw the wreath into the sea and let it drift away with the waves, symbolizing the peace of the dead.

The merfolk also shared the memories of the deceased. Not only were there stories passed down by word of mouth, but there were also photos, videos, and even specially composed songs.

“Hmm… Looks like this mermaid friend must have been very popular when she was alive.” Ji Jing had only been casually strolling around the arena, and she had already heard no less than three versions of the love triangle story.

“Humph. Love is heartless.” The doll commented sharply as usual.

The merfolk used laughter and songs to remember the lives of their loved ones. This funeral was not only a farewell, but also a celebration of the deceased, expressing their endless love for them.

When the funeral ended, night fell, and the stars lit up the sky. Ji Jing was looking forward to the official start of the auction.

“Just wait and see. The most common use of the demons ‘demonic power is about to appear.” The doll suddenly said mysteriously.

“It’s an extravagant and wasteful way of using it.” Ming Ze smiled.

“What is it?” Ji Jing looked at the hall curiously.

The merfolk cast spells and began to tidy up the funeral arrangements.

No, it was not even tidying up. It was more like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds. He directly used his demonic power to wrap up the scattered things and take them away.

Immediately after, the attendants began to seamlessly set up the auction venue, booths, curtains, and decorations. The tedious work that originally required a large number of people seemed to be carried out at four times the speed with the support of demon power.

Ji Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.” Such a large amount of demonic energy, just to use it to pack things?”

“Yes, I am.” Ming Ze admitted rather helplessly,” As long as we don’t fight, this is where demonic power is most commonly used.”

The venue of the auction was a hall connected to the deck of the cruise ship. In an instant, it was decorated with colorful flags and garlands, and various beautifully decorated stalls were set up.

All kinds of mystical items and strange creatures were placed there, waiting for their new owners to summon them.

“Let’s go, we’ll also occupy a stall.” Ming Ze held Ji Jing’s hand and walked into the hall.

” Tonight is just a pre-auction event. Most people are looking at the items being auctioned, comparing, checking, and evaluating them,” Ming Ze said.” The auction will officially start tomorrow. The highest bidder wins.”

” The mermaid auction is riskier than the ghost market because there is no verification of the goods. They may be real or fake. Therefore, there is a possibility of getting nothing, or finding treasures at a low price. It is a dangerous game where luck and strength coexist.” Ming Ze said.

‘ But those in the ghost market…” Ji Jing was a little surprised. The ghost market was actually a safer place to trade? She recalled the ridiculous propaganda she heard when she first went to the ghost market.

” That can only be considered an exaggeration. They’ve exaggerated the effect of 5 points to 50 points.” Ming Ze also remembered that experience and couldn’t help but smile.” But here, you might think that you’ve bought something worth 50 points, but in fact, you might not even get 5 points. You might even get a negative score. For example, many people sell things that have terrible side effects or even counter-effects.’

Ji Jing couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. The demons ‘transactions were indeed as rough as expected!

“What about you?” Ji Jing quietly poked the doll..” These things you brought out of the tomb, do any of them have side effects?”
