Chapter 21: Preparing to Enter the Trial Space

  Having obtained a promise from Lin Yuxuan, he returned to his residence. As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw a red sports car parked there, and Shangguan Xueyan was standing beside the car, looking at Lin Yuxuan with a cold face, her icy aura making Lin Yuxuan shiver involuntarily.

  Early in the morning, he ran into two beautiful ice maidens who didn't mind freezing him to death. Lin Yixuan muttered a sentence in his heart.

  "Where did you go last night?" Shangguan Xueyan asked coldly, then she had wanted to come and pick up Lin Yixuan yesterday evening, but ended up waiting here for several hours without seeing him, so she could only return in anger, and was lectured by Shangguan Mingyue, who thought the two were quarreling.

  "Some things." Lin Yixuan said slowly, he was also getting a headache. Ever since he impulsively said those words last time, Shangguan Xueyan's attitude towards him had become even colder. Now that Shangguan Xueyan had come to find him, it must still be because of her mother's matter. Who made Shangguan Xueyan a filial daughter?

  "My mom thinks we had a fight, you go back and explain it to her." Shangguan Xueyan said calmly.

  Lin Yixuan could feel that although Shangguan Xueyan was looking at him, her eyes did not contain a hint of emotion, and even had a hint of vigilance, which made Lin Yixuan secretly sigh in his heart. It seemed that the last time's impulsiveness had blown away all the good feelings Shangguan Xueyan had towards him, and instead gave rise to a sense of wariness towards him.

  "Let's go back." Lin Yixuan nodded and opened the car door. Although Shangguan Xueyan was very cold to him, Lin Yixuan still wanted to help her deal with her mother, because this was something he had promised to do. Lin Yixuan didn't have any other good qualities, but he was very particular about keeping his promises, and although he couldn't always keep his word, he would try his best to fulfill them.

  Shangguan Xueyan saw Lin Yixuan get in the car, opened the door with a calm face, and then drove towards Yunzhu Garden.

  After entering the Rhyme Bamboo Garden, Lin Yixuan smiled in his heart. He had just left here and didn't expect to return so soon. He also didn't know if Leng Qingwu was gone or not. Leng Qingwu's villa and Shangguan Xueyan's villa were very close together. It was unknown whether they would meet, and even if they did, it was unclear how these two icy beauties would react.

  However, after passing by Leng Qingwu's villa, Lin Yixuan found that the police car was gone, it seemed that Leng Qingwu had already left.

  The car stopped at the entrance of Shangguan Xueyan's villa, and after getting off the car, Shangguan Xueyan opened the door first and went in. Lin Yixuan followed closely behind her. After entering the house, Lin Yixuan only then discovered that Shangguan Mingyue was elegantly sitting in the living room. Upon seeing Lin Yixuan, a hint of a smile appeared on Shangguan Mingyue's beautiful and noble face.

  "Yi Xuan, you're back." Shangguan Mingyue smiled lightly and greeted Lin Yixuan, every move she made exuded a hint of maturity.

  "I'm back, mom." Lin Yixuan also hastily greeted her.

  "You must be tired from working overtime last night, I've prepared some food for you, go rest after eating." Shangguan Mingyue said with concern, seeing the faint fatigue on Lin Yixuan's face, thinking it was due to the overtime work the previous night.

  Lin Yixuan was taken aback at first, but then he understood that working overtime must be an excuse made up by Shangguan Xueyan. However, he was indeed very hungry and tired now, having been troubled by the Leng sisters for half a night yesterday and exhausting a lot of mental energy, and still hadn't recovered yet. Now hearing that there's food available, he naturally felt delighted.

  "Thanks, Mom." Lin Yixuan hastily expressed his gratitude.

  "Thank you, the meal is in the dining hall, it's still hot, go and eat quickly." Shangguan Mingyue smiled lightly and said with a hint of elegance.

  Lin Yixuan arrived at the restaurant and saw several small dishes on the table, along with a bowl of steaming porridge. It seemed that Shangguan Mingyue had timed it just right, having prepared the meal early. This warm concern made Lin Yixuan's heart feel a little warmer.

  He quickly wolfed down the meal, and although Officer Mingyue's cooking skills were not as good as his, the dishes she made had a special flavor that opened up Lin Yuxuan's appetite, and he devoured them in big mouthfuls.

  Guan Mingyue walked over and saw Lin Yixuan's wolf-like eating manner, and couldn't help but ask: "Is it delicious?"

  "It's so delicious!" Lin Yixuan couldn't help but praise.

  After hearing Lin Yixuan's words, Shangguan Mingyue smiled faintly and said: "Xue Chan that child is really something, actually letting you work overtime, and even worked for a whole night."

  Lin Yixuan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, mom. The company is currently developing a new product, and it's at a critical juncture right now. Working overtime isn't a big deal." Lin Yixuan didn't know what Shangguan Xueyan had told Shangguan Mingyue, so he could only follow along with Mingyue's words to cover up the lie.

  As Shangguan Mingyue walked over, Shangguan Xueyan heard Lin Yixuan's words and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

  After eating his fill, Upper Official Ming Yue told Lin Yi Xuan to go rest, after all in Upper Official Ming Yue's eyes Lin Yi Xuan had already worked an extra night.

  It's natural to go to Shangguan Xueyan's room to rest, after all, the two are now husband and wife, and Lin Yixuan will also sleep in Shangguan Xueyan's bed. Since it is daytime, if they don't sleep on the bed, they might be easily discovered.

  Shangguan Xueyan was somewhat reluctant, but could only helplessly pretend she hadn't seen it, thinking to herself that it wasn't like they had never done it before.

  After entering the room, Shangguan Mingyue pulled Shangguan Xueyan away, citing that she didn't want to disturb Lin Yixuan's rest. Lying on Shangguan Xueyan's soft and fragrant bed, Lin Yixuan suddenly became wide awake and invigorated.

  Forget it, let's just enter the Lingtian Fantasy Space for now. He is still quite concerned about the trial, after all, he saw something extraordinary in this world yesterday, and he also has an urgent desire to improve his strength.

  After entering the Ling Tian Fantasy Space, Lin Yixuan directly said to Xue'er: "I want to enter the trial space."

  "Alright, master." Xue'er didn't waste any words. In an instant, Lin Yixuan felt the scene before his eyes change, and he found himself in a starry sky that was like the universe, where floating starlight filled every corner.

  Suddenly a large screen appeared in front of Lin Yixuan, with only four options on it.

  Shu Mountain World (Advanced), Dark Destruction God World (Intermediate), Mandarin Duck Goddess World (Intermediate), Random World.

  Lin Yixuan stared blankly at the four options in front of him. The first three trial worlds were based on movies, games, and anime respectively. Lin Yixuan wasn't too surprised by this, after all, Xue'er had explained earlier that most trial spaces were constructed with fantasy as their foundation. He understood these worlds, but what was the deal with the levels behind them? Advanced? Intermediate? Even a fool would know what would happen if he entered those worlds to train with his current rookie strength - it wouldn't be training, it would be purely suicidal.
