Chen An carried Wu Wu in his arms. Did she simply leave her beloved beast with him?

“Hurry and keep up!” Lin Yingxue waited in front, determined to stick around Chen An.

Outside the auction…

A man and a woman were about to enter when another man stopped them.

“I am sorry. The auction will not take place today. It is postponed for some reason. Please come back a few days later.”

Lin Yingxue’s pretty brows frowned again upon hearing this. “What? Will not take place today?” Coincidentally, she had just happened to move up the levels, and it had been postponed. “When will it be resumed?”

The man smiled embarrassedly. “I’m sorry, I’m just responsible for guarding the door. I don’t know exactly when it will take place.”

Lin Yingxue pursed her small mouth, stomped her feet, and said to herself, “This is so annoying.”

Chen An pulled her back, lest she exploded in anger. “We can’t help it. This is the way auctions are. They don’t happen every day and depend on luck.”

Precious treasures were often rare, and most of them could only be bought at auctions.

“How about we check out those shops?” Chen An suggested.

“No.” Lin Yingxue did not continue.

Based on Chen An’s understanding of her, she was very picky and particular. She simply did not like general merchandise, and she refused to lower her requirements or to settle for less.

This was typical of a wayward, indulging young woman.

“Hmph!” Lin Yingxue lowered her head and tapped her toes on the ground. She was irritated and bored, so she vented her anger on the stones and kicked them far away.

Chen An suddenly could not help but laugh at her unhappy and frustrated look.

“How dare you laugh!” Lin Yingxue crossed her arms and turned her face away angrily. “This won’t do! I have to find a better spirit core and skills books for Wu Wu. No matter what, we have to continue fighting together!”

“Well, then let’s wait for the auction. Hopefully, we can catch it. But before that, you have to take a good rest and reorganize.”

Chen An merely made a casual statement, but Lin Yingxue was stunned as soon as she heard of taking a good rest and reorganizing. She stayed rooted to the spot as if she was reminded of something.

“I…”

Originally, Lin Yingxue believed that it would be impossible for her to advance through the levels. She had participated in the competition so as to put Wu Wu through more training, and she could improve from actual combat. Thus, she had not prepared much, thinking that she would not stay there for long.

However, right now, she had no choice but to stay for a long time. This was why she appeared to be stunned.

She changed out of her torn gold-red dress, put on a plain white dress, and walked out of the bedroom, still fiddling with her hair. “Will it be inconvenient for you if I stay here?”

Chen An looked up and almost did not recognize Lin Yingxue the moment he saw her.

She wore a red dress previously. She seemed to be enveloped in roaring flames, especially when she was fighting as the sleeves swung around like raging flames.

And now, the white clothes accentuated her snow-white skin, and indeed, her looks were, as her name suggested, as fair as snow.

“What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll prepare the food.”

“Huh? Anything is fine…” Seconds ago, Chen An was still excited, but then Lin Yingxue summoned Wu Wu and caressed it in her arms.

It seemed that the sentence was not directed at him.

Before transmigration, Chen An did not know anything about cooking. After he had transmigrated, he had to be self-reliant and make do with simple meals.

It had been a long time since he had a delicious meal. He thought that he would be able to have his share of good food.

Lin Yingxue went into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and tied her hair.
