Chapter 1533

âBut since it wasnât raised by a human, how can anyone be sure the snake was really a thousand years old?â When Lin Feng saw Lu Zhan was calling him dumb, he tried to make things difficult for Lu Zhan on purpose .
Lu Zhan shook his head, âCome on, donât play semantics . Itâs just a name . Nothing can live for a thousand years after all, right?â
At that moment, Qin Yue Ran suddenly arrived and asked, âWhere did you get those pills?â
Lin Feng was curious too . Where had Lu Zhan obtained such mysterious and precious pills? Ordinary pharmacies probably didnât sell such things!
âEh⊠At some auctions . I got twenty in total . I spent four times what I earn in a month!â said Lu Zhan . When he recalled the auctions, his heart ached .
âSince when are pills sold at auctions? Iâve never heard of such a thing,â Qin Yue Ran asked skeptically . She loved shopping and buying things, so she loved auctions, but she had never seen any auctions where pills were sold!
When Lu Zhan heard Qin Yue Ran, he smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, âYou canât understand . Do you know the saying âdifferent trades, world apartâ? It means it is a closed book to people who are outside the profession . People who belong to the real cultivation world have their own auctions, but theyâre underground and ordinary people donât know about them . â
The three people walked and chatted at the same time . Lin Feng was curious about the underground auctions . He had to ask where and when there were auctions .
Lu Zhan said mysteriously, âRegarding the locations, I canât tell you because people can only go if they are recommended . Besides, even if I told you, you wouldnât be able to find them and even if you did, you wouldnât be able to get in . But if youâre interested, I can recommend you . â
Lin Feng couldnât help but sigh . As expected, different trades, world apart . Even though he was a cultivator too, he had only been on Earth for a short time, so there were things he didnât know or couldnât do . But Lin Feng already had some ideas .
âOfficer Lu, what if I want to sell some items?â
âItâs generally possible, but you have to bring your items to the auction house and then they have to go through some validation and screening processes . The number of items is restricted each time . To have a chance to have your item selected, it must be good and easy to sell, and there must be demand for it . If your item is ordinary, nobody will want it!â explained Lu Zhan .
Lu Zhan then took out a leather pouch from his jacketâs inner pocket . He took a yellow scroll out from it . Lin Feng looked at it and Lu Zhan asked, âDo you know what kind of precious treasure this is?â
Even though Lin Feng didnât know what it could be used for, with some common sense, it wasnât difficult to understand . Lin Feng said loftily, âItâs just a talisman . Itâs made of yellow paper and then red ink is used to draw those magic figures . It can be used to perform rituals . â
Lin Feng remembered he had seen such things when he was a child . Lu Zhan was astonished . Then he sighed and shook his head, âLin Feng! Ah, Lin Feng! I really wonder where you learn all these things . â Then he added, âThis is not a movie prop, itâs a genuine invisibility talisman! It costs three thousand bucks! You can use it up to five times! Itâs priceless!â
When Qin Yue Ran heard that, she gasped with astonishment . She tried to take it from Lu Zhanâs hand, but Lu Zhan hastily snatched his hand back and said, âBe careful! Itâs my precious treasure . Iâve been holding it for almost ten years! Donât touch it!â
âPfff! Youâre just showing off! You think I believe you? Nothing can become invisible in our world . An invisibility talisman! Ridiculous!â said Qin Yue Ran .
But Lin Feng believed Lu Zhan . He didnât need to lie about something like that . Lin Feng asked, âHave you ever used this talisman? Is there a possibility that it could be fake?â
Lu Zhan pffâed and said angrily, âHow could it be fake!? Iâve used it when I was spying on someone during a mission . He was completely unaware of me!â
ââ
As they chatted, they arrived in front of Lu Zhanâs dormitory . Many young men were in the area . They were all working out . Some of them were breaking stones with bare hands, some were playing darts, some were climbing the building .
Qin Yue Ran was interested in strange things . She said approvingly, âHow strong! Theyâre even more skilled than acrobats!â
Someone looked at her angrily . They were practicing, how dare she compare them to acrobats?!
The man glared at Qin Yue Ran silently . Qin Yue Ran felt awkward and stuck out her tongue!
âLin Feng, be my bodyguard . Youâre the only one who can compete with Feng Shi Jie,â Qin Yue Ran implored him .
Lin Feng looked pensive and in the end, he nodded . Qin Yue Ran gasped happily, and hopped around while giggling, âAwesome! Awesome! I have a boyfriend⊠No⊠I have a bodyguardâŠâ
Lin Feng said straightforwardly, âBut on one condition . If you agree, I can be your bodyguard; otherwise, I refuse . â
Qin Yue Ran glared at him angrily and said, âUgh! What condition? You just accepted!â
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, âIt seems youâre not willing to show some good faith, so forget it . â
Qin Yue Ran groaned icily and got in a huff, âYouâre not nice! Tell me . What condition? Iâm warning you, no presumptuous demands . Iâm not an easy woman!â
A waterfall of sweat appeared on Lin Fengâs forehead when he heard that . What did âpresumptuous demandsâ mean? What was an easy woman? He didnât continue arguing and said, âAlright, I accept only if I can work outside of my usual working hours as a guard . I have to work, after all . â
Even though Lin Feng couldnât be a guard forever, as long as there was no winner between Manager Zhang and Chairman Sun, he couldnât quit . Lin Feng didnât intend to leave Jinjiang for the time being . He had to help Chairman Sun, as he had helped him first .
Qin Yue Ran looked thoughtful for a few seconds, then frowned and accepted . Everything was changing . Qin Yue Ran couldnât help but admire Lin Feng for his intelligence and wisdom .
ââ
Lin Feng stayed until noon before saying goodbye to Lu Zhan and walking back to the police compound . When they arrived at the gate, Lin Feng said to Qin Yue Ran, âSee you . If you need my protection, call me and Iâll do my best to come as quickly as I can . â
Qin Yue Ran said, âI need you right now, what do we do?â
Lin Feng thought she was making things difficult for him on purpose as a joke and shook his head . He couldnât spend whole days having fun with her, after all . He also had things to do!
âHey, why are you following me? Iâm going back to Jinjiang . â When Lin Feng arrived in front of a taxi, he realized Qin Yue Ran was still behind him .
âI said I need your protection now . Since you donât have time . I had no choice but to make concessions to ensure my own safety by following youâŠâ said Qin Yue Ran . as if it were a logical thing to do . Lin Feng had nothing to say . She was entirely right!
But how was that protection? It was just two people staying together, nothing more . If they faced danger, alone or not, it didnât matter .
Qin Yue Ran didnât let Lin Feng speak . She stopped the taxi and sat down in the back . Lin Feng got in as well and asked the driver to go to the Jinjiang residential district .
ââ
The taxi driver arrived quickly . Lin Feng got out of the car and said, âQin Yue Ran, Iâm going back to the dormitory to have a rest . Are you coming with me?â Lin Feng asked, convinced she would refuse . It would be troublesome if she followed him . Da Liu and the others were there after all .
Qin Yue Ran blushed . What Lin Feng had just said sounded so suggestive⊠But Qin Yue Ran smiled in amusement, âDonât worry . Since youâre going to sleep and not to work, I can tell you one thing . Actually, Iâm renting an apartment in this residential district . That way, itâs more convenient for you to protect me . â
Lin Feng swallowed . He couldnât believe it and asked, âWhat? Youâre renting an apartment in this residential district? Since when?â
Qin Yue Ran didnât care whether Lin Feng was happy or not, she grabbed his arm and started walking, and at the same time, she said, âDonât worry about that . All you need to know is that we live in that flat now!â
The fact that Lin Feng and Qin Yue Ran were chatting leisurely and freely in the residential district drew some apartment ownersâ attention . They were just having a walk in the residential district . Everybody looked at Lin Feng curiously and strangely .
They all thought Lin Feng had never had a girlfriend . At least, they had never seen him with a woman before . Now he had just brought a really beautiful young lady, and she was holding his arm as they walked!
Of course, some people also felt angry .
âHey hey hey! Hurry up and look! That guard brought his girlfriend! Hehehehehehe! How beautiful! What a couple!â whispered a middle-aged woman .
A woman next to her said, âBeautiful is beautiful, but we canât be sure that woman is his girlfriend . She could be a prostitute, too . Heâs a guard, how could he have such a beautiful girlfriend?â
