Beautiful Woman
At night, three people, one old and two young, sat down at the dinner table, which was laden with a very sumptuous spread of food.
At dawn, after bidding farewell to Elder Hai Qing Lin, Lin Ming looked at Qing Lin, who seemed reluctant to part, and said, "Don't worry, Qing Lin! Once we find a way to remove Elder Hai's cultivation, he will be able to return to the family. Then we can live together. Now, let's go!"
"Yes! Brother Lin Ming!" Qing Lin nodded. Then, led by Lin Ming, Qing Lin headed towards the city gate.
"Brother Lin Ming, where are we going?" In the sky, Qing Lin, held in Lin Ming's arms, looked down at the receding Golden Desert and asked Lin Ming.
Upon hearing Qing Lin's question, an image of someone roughly the same size as Qing Lin instantly appeared in Lin Ming's mind.
"It's been so many years, it's time to go see this girl." The thought of seeing this figure after so many years immediately came to Lin Ming's Lin Ming. A moment later, a smile appeared on his lips, and a voice escaped Lin Ming lips.
"Let's go to Wutan City first!"
Three days later, a young man brought a Little Girl to a city gate.
"Wutan City! Brother Lin Ming, we've arrived!" The Little Girl exclaimed excitedly as she looked at the three large characters "Wutan City" carved on the city gate.
"Yes! We've arrived at Wutan City," Lin Ming said, looking at the city wall with a sigh.
"Let's go, Qing Lin. Let's go into the city," Lin Ming said after a moment.
Then, the two figures were seen slowly walking into the city.
After entering Wutan City, Lin Ming led Qing Lin slowly toward the city's central area.
Turning a corner onto a new street, Qing Lin stared at the massive venue at the end of the street, swallowing hard. She then raised her shocked face and stammered to Lin Ming, "Lin... Brother Lin Ming, this is... your family's business?"
"You little girl, remember, this is also your family, Qing Lin's family." After hearing Qing Lin's words, Lin Ming gently pinched Qing Lin's little face and said to her.
"Brother Lin Ming, Qing Lin understands." Although Lin Ming pinched her cheek and said that, Qing Lin didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she was filled with joy and replied to Lin Ming with a smile.
Upon receiving Qing Lin's reply, Lin Ming smiled and nodded, Qing Lin, "That's more like it. Once you return to the Imperial City and see the family headquarters' Qing Lin house, you'll understand that this branch is just like this! For now, let's go there!"
With Qing Lin nodding, Lin Ming strode forward.
"Brother Lin Ming, wait for Qing Lin!" Qing Lin said, and ran after Lin Ming.
Upon arriving at the auction venue, under the watchful eyes of several fully armed guards at the entrance, Lin Ming led Qing Lin into the venue at a leisurely pace.
For someone at Lin Ming's level, there was almost nothing in this family branch auction house in Wutan City that could attract his attention. So after entering, Lin Ming did not look at the items in the auction house like the others, but went straight to the staff.
Seeing Lin Ming walk straight towards them, the receptionist greeted him with a smile, "Young master, how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Ya Fei, isn't she at the auction house?" Lin Ming immediately asked in response to the staff member's inquiry.
"Looking for Miss Ya Fei? I'm sorry, young master, Miss Ya Fei is very busy, so..." Lin Ming had barely finished speaking when the receptionist, though quite polite, couldn't hide the sarcasm on her face from Lin Ming.
"Ah! A Magical Beasts!"
"How... how did Magical Beasts escape?"
"Don't make a fuss. This is Magical Beasts raised by Miss Ya Fei, called Yin Lin. It won't hurt anyone." Someone familiar with the situation immediately spoke up after seeing the couple screaming in fright.
After replying to the couple, the person who replied also spoke with a puzzled expression, "But what's strange is that Yin Lin usually stays by Miss Ya Fei's side and never wanders off. Why did it leave Miss Ya Fei's side today and head towards the lobby on the first floor?"
"Could it be that Miss Ya Fei went out and has now returned? That's probably the only reason why Yin Lin is rushing towards the lobby on the first floor." Thinking of this, the man also hurried towards the lobby on the first floor.
"This?" Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, he did not see Miss Ya Fei's face. Instead, he saw Yin Lin showing intimacy to a young man, which shocked the man on the spot.
"You've grown so big!" Looking at the Yin Lin creature in front of him, which showed affection but was about the size of an ox, Lin Ming stroked Yin Lin head and said.
"Brother Lin Ming, what is this Magical Beasts?" Qing Lin asked, looking at the Magical Beasts that was being affectionate with Lin Ming.
"Qing Lin, its name is Yin Lin, it's Magical Beasts I used to raise. Now, so many years have passed, and it's grown so big." Lin Ming replied to Yin Lin while stroking Qing Lin.
"Yin Lin, why did you leave me and run away alone?" Just as Lin Ming finished speaking, an urgent voice came from the passage that Yin Lin had just run through.
"This... this is Miss Ya Fei's voice, Miss Ya Fei is coming out." Hearing this urgent yet alluring voice, most people knew who it belonged to. So, many eyes in the hall instantly turned towards the passageway.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure gradually emerged in the passageway. A crimson cheongsam perfectly outlined her figure. Her alluringly beautiful face remained unaffected by the urgency etched on it; instead, it stirred a surge of desire in those who saw her.
After the stunningly beautiful figure emerged from the passage, upon seeing the enormous silver Magical Beasts stop in the hall, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Magical Beasts, "Yin Lin, you..."
The moment the stunningly beautiful figure spoke, the young man in front of the silver Magical Beasts raised his head and looked at her with a smile.
The stunningly beautiful figure saw the young man the moment he looked up. Even this woman, who had years of auction experience and was usually unfazed by praise or criticism, suddenly had tears welling in her eyes and stammered, "You... you are Lin... Brother Lin Ming?"
Seeing the glistening tears in Ya Fei's eyes and the look of disbelief on her face, Lin Ming smiled and said, "Little girl, your Brother Lin Ming is here!"
"Brother Lin Ming ~!" A voice filled with longing and joy rang out from Ya Fei's lips. Then, amidst the heartbreak of everyone else, Ya Fei threw herself into the arms of the Brother Lin Ming she had called out to.
Lin Ming pulled Ya Fei into his arms. Seeing Ya Fei's choked sobs, he gently patted Ya Fei back. At the same time, Lin Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Ya Fei has really grown up!"
