Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 471 Asha'ruya
Zhao Manyan sighed and continued, "This guy, who isn't interested in women, gourmet food, magic, or sentimentality, has only one pleasure and pursuit in life: making money. He's exactly the same as my father!"

"So you're like someone who was picked up off the street at home?" Mo Fan said sarcastically.

Lin Chen was taken aback. Mo Fan's mouth was indeed quite sharp. Fortunately, the two had a good relationship, so Zhao Manyan wasn't angry.

Zhao Manyan's lips twitched, and he said, "I guess so. If I hadn't walked the Path of Mo Fan quite well, and been able to somewhat make up for the fact that our Zhao family doesn't produce many powerful magicians, I guess no one would have come back to ask about me if I had disappeared!"

Since Mo Fan had already been so sarcastic, Lin Chen didn't hold back either, saying, "Your magical talent is outstanding???"

In Lin Chen's mind, Zhao Manyan was a turtle mage who relied on money to be armed to the teeth with magical artifacts, but whose own strength was very weak. His only advantage was that he was hard to kill among his peers.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan's face darkened. In front of Lin Chen, who would dare to claim outstanding talent?
On the other side, Mo Fan also said with disdain: "How can you make it sound so tragic? Do you know how many people envy someone like you who has money as much as an idiot and has no family constraints whatsoever? If I were born in a place like this, why would I risk my life to kill demons? You have no idea, the bounty a while ago was really a matter of life and death!"

……

The two chatted idly for a while and soon arrived at the Zhao family's most upscale guest room. The guest room was as grand as a palace, and the kind of luxury that money couldn't buy was overwhelming. Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, "These damn rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!"
Inside the palatial guest room, the receptionists, all top-tier beauties, wore long blue ripple dresses. Their breasts and shapely hips were full and alluring, bursting forth from their dresses!

They seemed to have come here specifically to exude charm. Compared to this woman, Lin Chen felt that among his several women, only Tang Yue could carry off such a robe!

While Lin Chen was daydreaming, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan continued to mock each other!

"Sir, we only accept guests with reservations. Please move to the guest room next door!" Soon, a woman in a rippled blue dress came over and said with a smile!
"I am Zhao Youqian's younger brother!" Zhao Manyan immediately revealed his identity upon hearing this!

The woman in the blue dress said politely, "I'm sorry, Chairman Zhao instructed that this place must be reserved for that distinguished guest. I'll take you to the next room to rest. If you need anything, someone there will make arrangements for you!"

This woman is of mixed race, possessing the striking and beautiful features of a Westerner, as well as the gentle and delicate features of an Easterner!
"Let's go next door, hahaha!" Mo Fan was laughing so hard he couldn't stop.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Manyan's face darkened.

Normally, Zhao Manyan was no match for Mo Fan's bodyguards in terms of skill. Now, finally it was time to compare their wealth and status, but they were met with a series of setbacks, especially with Lin Chen present. The embarrassment made Zhao Manyan quite angry: "Hmph, although Zhao Youqian is in charge of everything here in Dali, please understand that I'm not without any authority. I want this place today. If there are any problems, let Zhao Youqian come and tell me himself. What kind of distinguished guest is more important than me?!"

Zhao Manyan sat down directly on the sofa that looked like it was made of velvet, his face full of pride and stubbornness.

The woman in the blue dress was stunned. She never expected Zhao Manyan to act so unruly!

Mo Fan was also quite surprised. Zhao Manyan didn't seem like the type to do something like this over such a trivial matter of face. Zhao Manyan was the kind of person who could stay in a run-down inn or a high-class mansion, so there was no need for him to insist on staying in this VIP room of the palace!

The woman in the blue dress, with her ripples, continued to reason with the man and fight for his rights.

However, Zhao Manyan pointed his finger at him and berated him, leaving him with no choice but to leave.

Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan continued their rambling, while Lin Chen sensed familiar footsteps outside. He probed with his spiritual power and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Immediately, Lin Chen said to Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, "You two enjoy yourselves here, I'm going out for a stroll!" Mo Fan asked in confusion, "Brother Chen, where are you going?"

Lin Chen waved his hand, said nothing, and left the VIP room directly!

After leaving the VIP room, which resembled a palace, Lin Chen waited at a spot on the other party's inevitable route.

After a short wait, an alarm suddenly sounded.

Then, a soft footstep sound came from nearby. A veil veiled her face, revealing only her deep, dark blue eyes. When Lin Chen gazed at her, he felt a jolt of electricity. The graceful figure he hadn't seen in so long, now reappeared, stirred his heart and left him unable to calm down for a long time!

When Asha Ruya came out and saw Lin Chen, she was taken aback at first, then smiled gently. Her smile was gentle and friendly. Then she spoke in fluent Mandarin: "It's you! I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!"

"Fate?!"

Lin Chen smiled brightly and said, "Let's just consider it fate!"

Asha's eyes narrowed, and she asked with some doubt, "You were following me?"

Asha Ruya was puzzled by Lin Chen's words. The two had only met once in the ancient capital and were not familiar with each other at all. So why would he appear here and why would he deliberately wait for her?
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "No, I just happened to run into you, so I came here specifically to meet you!"

Seeing that Asha's face was still full of doubt, or perhaps she was still trying to confirm whether his words were true or false, Lin Chen explained again: "When you and Zhao Youqian came in, I sensed your presence!"

"You're being really mean!" Asha Ruya said sweetly, her tone a mix of annoyance and coquettishness.

"What kind of aura does she have?" Asha Ruya then asked.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, and then his figure disappeared from the spot. In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen reappeared in front of Asha Ruya.

The two were practically touching.

Asha'ruya instinctively took a step back, trying to keep a safe distance, but she didn't expect Lin Chen's strong arms to have already wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Hmm~"

Instantly, Asha'ruya let out a seductive voice, but her face turned icy cold!

However, Lin Chen seemed completely unconcerned about her feelings, his handsome face constantly getting closer to her ear!

"A pungent smell... the pungent smell of a little fox!!!"
