Gu Qingze couldn't help but gently touch Chu Lingxiao's head with his hand, and then quickly took his hand back before he realized it.
"Okay, our most urgent task is to exchange for demon world currency. Let's give Brother Jinnian some time alone first, and then we'll see if he needs any help."
Gu Qingze said gently.
"Um."
Chu Lingxiao responded softly, turned his face away awkwardly, and pretended to be walking and looking at the scenery.
Every time Qingze spoke to him, the tone he used was not only unspeakably gentle, but also inexplicably gave the impression of treating a child... This was really embarrassing.
"Qingze, how much 'Demon Coins' are you going to exchange?"
In order to make the redness on the tip of his ear disappear, Chu Lingxiao quickly changed the subject.
"...Let's exchange 200 million first."
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and said uncertainly.
Two hundred million?
Chu Lingxiao exclaimed in his heart, what a sinful rich man!
Although he was not short of money due to his identity as an alchemist, he was still shocked by Gu Qingze's wealth every time.
Seeing Chu Lingxiao's surprised expression, Gu Qingze took the initiative to explain.
"Although I'm attending the auction to look for clues, it's not a bad idea to participate as well. What if there's something good? If there really is something good, the 200 million I exchanged for might not even be enough to buy it."
Chu Lingxiao nodded, thinking it made sense, and said seriously.
"If you're going to participate in the auction, then 200 million is really too little. Why not exchange more? Why not exchange all the money on these cards into 'Demon Coins'? When you leave, you can exchange any unused money back."
"Well, although it's a bit troublesome, it will greatly increase the chances of getting something good. What Ling Xiao said makes sense."
Gu Qingze accepted his idea and talked to him about other things.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the nearest exchange office.
The staff inside is a giant python that maintains its original prototype.
When he saw the two of them come in, he first looked at them with a scrutinizing gaze, then circled around them several times, as if he was identifying something.
"Hiss~ Human? No, I smell a strong demon scent on you again... Are you a demon cross-dresser who likes to transform into a human form?"
Gu Qingze looked at the python speechlessly. He knew very well that if they were recognized as human, the python would swallow them immediately.
Chu Lingxiao also felt a cold and gloomy aura emanating from the surroundings. Being stared at by a snake like it was its "prey" was extremely uncomfortable.
"Is this how you treat guests?" Gu Qingze pretended to be impatient and urged in order to leave here as soon as possible.
"Hiss~ I didn't open this shop to make money, but to eat more human flesh. After all, it's likely that humans will come here to exchange money for the demon world."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were not frightened by what he said, but instead showed disdainful expressions.
Think of them as fools. Song Jinnian had said before that if you really want to eat human flesh, it is sold in the market of the demon world, but it is a bit expensive.
Since the python did not go to the market to buy them, but wanted to test whether they were human and then kill them, it proved that he was a poor guy and could not afford it.
If you don't open an exchange just to make money, you have to make the lies more convincing.
After the python finished speaking, the cold light in its eyes became even brighter. It circled around them a few more times, and when it saw that they had no flaws, it returned to the counter in disappointment.
I heard that the human race's recent research and development has taken another step forward, and the equipment used to disguise monsters has been upgraded...
If only the two humanoids had shown any sign of fear, he would have had the opportunity to determine they were human and then taste them. However, they showed no fear at all when being stared at like this...
So they should just be alien monsters that like to disguise themselves as humans. That's right, some monsters who want to make quick money stay in human territory for a long time and like to disguise themselves as humans. The two monsters in front of us should have come to the exchange office after the humans made money.
He didn't want to fight hard only to eat an ordinary monster meat. That would be too unprofitable.
Seeing that he had returned to his normal expression, Gu Qingze knew that the danger was over, so he stepped forward and handed him the amount to be exchanged.
After seeing the exchange amount, the python's eyeballs turned into vertical pupils again, and its tongue stretched and retracted flexibly. On the tip of its tongue, sharp fangs flashed threateningly.
Hmm? Something wasn't right. He didn't believe that selling monsters outside could make so much money...
"Can you please hurry up? If you keep on wasting time, I'll go to another exchange office." Gu Qingze looked very impatient and his tone became impolite.
He didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he came to the exchange office.
Although he had heard before that human flesh was like "Tang Monk's flesh" to monsters and every monster wanted to have a bite, this was too exaggerated. Aren't they afraid of complaints from guests if they treated them like this?
The python thought for a moment, and then obediently went through the exchange service.
Seeing this, Gu Qingze raised the corners of his lips slightly. As expected, he guessed right. This monster was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing how confident they were, he didn't dare to take the risk to gamble. He was afraid that they had a trump card and that his efforts would be in vain.
Chu Lingxiao, who was standing by, saw the python roll up a brand new card with its tail and took it.
Gu Qingze also took a look, and after checking that there was no problem with the amount, he pretended to be calm and left the exchange with Chu Lingxiao.
