But as time passed, the scene Ye Ningshuang had been anticipating did not unfold. With her eyes tightly closed, she raised an eyebrow slightly, then opened them, her gaze filled with confusion.
Where was Su Chen now?
As for Su Chen, he had already bypassed Ye Ningshuang, lay down on the bed, and fallen into a deep sleep.
Ye Ningshuang's forehead, her fists clenched, her chest heaving, her expression one of extreme anger. She abruptly turned around, ready to settle scores with Su Chen.
Su Chen lay on his side, his breathing steady and even, as if he had truly fallen asleep.
Seeing this, Ye Ningshuang hesitated, then finally scoffed, "I'll settle the score with you tomorrow!"
After saying that, she lay down directly, facing Su Chen. Looking at Su Chen's handsome face, she didn't know why, but her heart started racing again, and she couldn't help but want to reach out and touch him.
Ye Ningshuang bit her red lips, "This guy is really good-looking. I wonder how many women he'll seduce in the future."
At this moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Su Chen suddenly buried his head in Ye Ningshuang's arms.
Ye Ningshuang instantly, too afraid to move, completely frozen in place.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses. Surprisingly, she wasn't angry; she even reached out and stroked Su Chen's face.
A smile involuntarily crept onto Su Chen's lips as he lay in Ye Ningshuang's arms, though she was unaware of it.
As the night passed, the sounds of a bustling crowd rose outside the inn. Shouts, footsteps, and the rumble of wheels mingled together, shattering the morning's dreams.
Ye Ningshuang opened her eyes groggily, her expression dazed, unable to distinguish between dreaming and waking. Her gaze wandered aimlessly around her, her consciousness gradually returning from the chaos, and her previously empty eyes slowly regained their light.
As if she had just realized something, she was startled and quickly looked around, finally fixing her gaze on a figure in front of the window.
Ye Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you ran away again."
Su Chen turned around and smiled slightly, "Awake?"
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Mmm."
Su Chen said, "Let's wash up and go for a walk in the streets."
Ye Ningshuang nodded. "Okay."
The two tacitly avoided mentioning what happened last night.
Half an hour later.
The two left the inn and came to the bustling street.
Su Chen was tall and slender with handsome features. Dressed in white, he looked like a celestial being. Ye Ningshuang had skin as smooth as jade, eyes as clear as spring water, and a smile that bloomed like spring flowers.
As they walked down the street, they seemed to radiate light, attracting the attention of passersby who were either amazed or full of admiration.
Looking around the street, Ye Ningshuang remarked, "I've been here many times."
Su Chen asked, "Then what is the purpose of bringing me here?"
Ye Ningshuang asked, "Do you know about Jiade Auction?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Ye Ningshuang raised an eyebrow and said, "This is the most famous and authoritative auction in the Immortal Realm, and you don't know about it?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "I don't pay much attention to these things."
Ye Ningshuang said helplessly, "Alright."
Su Chen said, "You didn't bring me here just to attend this auction, did you?"
Ye Ningshuang smiled and said, "Yes, the Jiade Auction held all over the Immortal Realm. This time it's Luo City's turn, and I heard that there are many extraordinary items up for auction this time."
"Oh?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, "In that case, if I see anything I like later, please help me get it."
Ye Ningshuang said speechlessly, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Su Chen blinked. "I'm your fiancé, isn't it only right that you buy me something?"
Ye Ningshuang's expression stiffened, and she finally said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I have plenty of money anyway. Just tell me what you want to see later."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Hmph."
Ye Ningshuang gave a soft snort, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction, but a smile remained on her face.
Jiade Auction is the number one auction house in the entire Immortal Realm. The reason is that Jiade Auction always manages to offer some priceless treasures that other auction houses cannot offer.
This also cemented Jiade Auction's position among auction houses.
As soon as Su Chen and Ye Ningshuang stepped into the Jiade Auction, they were stopped by a woman.
The woman was neither particularly beautiful nor ugly, just average-looking, but her figure was extremely alluring, attracting the attention of countless men.
The woman looked at Ye Ningshuang and smiled, " Miss Ningshuang, you can call me Xiaoman. I will now serve you."
Ye Ningshuang nodded calmly, "Mm."
Xiaoman's gaze fell on Su Chen, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, "And who is this?"
Ye Ningshuang raised an eyebrow slightly, her expression somewhat displeased.
Xiaoman noticed it naturally and quickly looked away, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Miss Ye and this young master."
Su Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing."
The voice was gentle, touching Xiaoman's heart and causing Hong Yun to gradually rise on her face.
Ye Ningshuang glanced at Su Chen, as if issuing a warning.
Su Chen blinked, indicating his innocence.
Xiaoman said, "Young Master and Miss Ningshuang, please come with me."
After saying that, she glanced at Su Chen one last time, then turned and led the way.
Ye Ningshuang and Su Chen followed behind her.
As Ye Ningshuang walked, she transmitted her voice, "I advise you to behave yourself."
Su Chen asked innocently, "What did I do?"
Ye Ningshuang glared at Su Chen but didn't say anything.
Xiaoman led Su Chen and Ye Ningshuang to a private room, where they could clearly see the area where the auction would take place.
The huge auction hall had rows of seats stretching to the horizon. People moved among them, some talking in hushed tones, others craning their necks in anticipation.
The private room where Su Chen and Ye Ningshuang were located Jiade Auction for the important figures of various forces. The environment here was much better than outside, with comfortable sofas and exquisite snacks.
Xiaoman said, " Miss Ye, I'll go out now. If you need anything, just call my name and I'll appear."
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiaoman bowed, glanced at Su Chen out of the corner of her eye, and then left the private room.
Su Chen sat down on the sofa naturally and smiled, "You've got quite a bit of influence, haven't you? You even have a private room."
"Hmph."
Ye Ningshuang snorted lightly, then said, "Of course, no matter what, I am the young lady of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect. Jiade Auction dare to disrespect me?"
Su Chen gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Awesome!"
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and then she sat down on the sofa as well.
The sofa is made from the fur of a special Demon Beast, so it is very soft.
Su Chen smelled the delicate fragrance emanating from Ye Ningshuang, and immediately reached out to pull her into his arms...
