Living with a Beauty

The ambulance arrived shortly afterward and took the man and woman to the hospital. The doctor confirmed that they were both fine, but were extremely weak due to excessive blood loss.

Only then did Lingling breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lingling's appearance, Lin Chen couldn't help but praise her: "I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted, so concerned about her health."

Lingling rolled her eyes at Lin Chen and slowly said, "That man was the client. Since he's dead, we won't get the remaining 200,000."

Lin Chen was speechless.

"Lin Chen, is your second elemental awakening fire? But the magic you released doesn't look like Fireball or Fiery Fist." Lingling couldn't help but ask after leaving the hospital.

"It's fire-type, but my fire-type is a bit special," Lin Chen said vaguely.

Lingling nodded and didn't pursue the matter further.

……

Lin Chen originally intended to use the essence of the Scaled Banshee to enhance his ring and allow him to cultivate at a faster pace.

But Lingling told him that the essence of the Scaled Banshee was very special and its value was much higher than that of a typical warrior-level essence.

At Lingling's urging, Lin Chen decided to auction off the essence of the Scaled Demoness.

At the end of the month, Lin Chen followed Lingling to the auction house located on the top floor of the China World Trade Center. Only through Lingling's identity as a master hunter was Lin Chen able to enter the auction house with her.

Upon entering the auction hall, Lingling immediately led Lin Chen to the appraisal room. After appraisal, the essence of the Scaled Banshee was deemed valuable enough to be auctioned, with a starting bid of ten million and a potential price of at least twenty million.

The auction began soon.

During the auction, a fire-type spirit seed appeared. Lingling specifically reminded Lin Chen to bid for it, but Lin Chen, who already possessed the Golden Wheel Blazing Flame, would not be interested in a small spirit seed. He directly told Lingling that he did not need it for the time being.

A few hours later, the auction came to a successful conclusion. Lin Chen's Scaled Banshee was auctioned for 2900 million, while Lin Chen spent 1700 million to buy a Netherworld Shield.

According to the auctioneer, the Nether Shield is strong enough to easily block a full-force attack from a warrior-level creature, which can make up for the weakness of the Azure Cloud Armor's lack of physical defense. At the same time, it can release spikes from the shield at critical moments to create a powerful penetrating attack.

……

Before we knew it, the semester was over.

Lin Chen was preparing to move out of the school, and if he remembered correctly, Mu Nujiao was also renting a house off-campus around the same time.

As for Mo Fan, his growth trajectory changed because of Lin Chen's appearance.

Although Lin Chen didn't know where Mo Fan had gotten the lightning-type spirit seed Qianjun from, he no longer had the spare money to rent a house off-campus.

Based on his memory and online rental information, Lin Chen quickly found Jinyuan Apartment, located on the west side of the Mingzhu Academy Qing Campus.

Arriving at the location of Jinyuan Apartment, I have to say that the apartment is really good. Not only is it close to the school, but there is also a beautiful lake park behind it.

Lin Chen took the elevator to the twelfth floor of the apartment building, knocked on the door of the apartment for rent, and just as he entered the apartment and was about to check on the situation, two women appeared at the elevator entrance.

The two women were Mu Nujiao, dressed in a summer-style white dress with a landscape painting, and Ai Tutu, who had a childlike face and large breasts.

"Excuse me... um, Lin Chen?" Mu Nujiao was about to ask the landlady when she saw a figure walk out of the house, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Oh, what a coincidence! You could call it fate?" Lin Chen feigned surprise. "You're here to look at houses too?"

"Mm." Mu Nujiao nodded without saying anything more.

"Lin Chen, that name sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before?" Ai Tutu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then looked surprised and exclaimed, "It's you! Lin Chen, the great demon who achieved a thousand kills in the Beast Fighting Tournament!!!"

"..."

Lin Chen was speechless. He was afraid that these freshmen would be dissatisfied, so he specially challenged the whole school to a one-on-one fight.

As it turned out, it seemed to have no effect at all, and instead only reinforced his nickname of the Great Demon King.

However, just as I remembered, Ai Tutu wasn't afraid of the great demon king at all; on the contrary, she was extremely excited.

At the invitation of the landlady, Lin Chen and his two companions went into the apartment to view the property.

It has to be said that there's a reason why Jinyuan Apartments' rent is so high.

The entire apartment is a duplex with spacious rooms and exquisite decor.

The first-floor lobby is fully equipped with large sofas, a large color TV, a Western-style kitchen, a small lounge, and even a suspended balcony with recliners and a small sink.

This configuration was something Lin Chen had never seen before, even in his two lifetimes!

He was quite satisfied.

"The rooms are all upstairs, do you want to take a look?" the landlady asked.

"No need to look anymore, I'm very satisfied, this is it." Lin Chen shook his head.

"Where are the two girls?" the landlady asked, looking at Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.

"Sister Mu, I think this place is really great, much better than the places we've seen before. Let's keep it here!" Ai Tutu said.

"Since you're all satisfied, let's rent together. My rent isn't cheap for college students like you," the landlady said with a smile.

"Sharing an apartment? Great! Great!" Ai Tutu exclaimed excitedly. "I've seen stories in novels about college students sharing apartments, let's give it a try!"

Mu Nujiao quickly pulled Ai Tutu aside and covered her mouth. She had no intention of sharing the apartment; the tens of thousands of yuan in rent per month was just a small amount of money to her.

"Landlady, don't listen to her nonsense, we have no intention of sharing the apartment," Mu Nujiao quickly explained.

The landlady looked at Mu Nujiao with a knowing gaze, but didn't say anything.

Ai Tutu pried Mu Nujiao's hand away from her mouth and whispered, "Sister Mu, aren't you curious about how an ordinary person like him could have three warrior-level summoned beasts at the beginner level? And he hadn't even used his second element during the Beast Fighting Tournament. A whole semester has passed; he must be even stronger now. Don't you want to know his current strength?"

"Isn't your Mu family recruiting talent? Lin Chen, this great demon, is so strong and talented, isn't he a perfect fit!"

"Besides, my grandpa is really mean. He said he'd start controlling my allowance after I started school. It's too expensive for the two of us to split the cost, so wouldn't it be better to have someone else share it?"

Mu Nujiao had been persuaded by Ai Tutu, but Ai Tutu's last sentence left her speechless, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat Ai Tutu's head.

After thinking about it for a while, out of curiosity about Lin Chen, Mu Nujiao agreed to share the apartment.

Lin Chen had already voluntarily paid half of the rent and paid the rent for the next semester in one lump sum. He then went downstairs to the sofa and lay down to enjoy himself.
