Outside, his clansmen were waiting for a long time. They were afraid that the Clan Head would be surrounded on the way.
At that time, the arm that he bought for over a hundred thousand Purple Coins would be snatched away just like that.
They also were bearing huge debts which was a huge blow to them.
This was also the reason why they were keeping an eye outside.
They had to send the Primeval Flame War Ape's arm home safely. They surrounded their Clan Head, with him being in the center, it would be easier to protect him from any harm. The Clan Head didn't wait a moment and stored the ape's arm in his Space Ring.
Although everyone was on edge along the way, no one came to give chase.
This was a good thing for them. When they reached home, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up and make it into a big pot of rice. We'll take a bite each and see who will awaken their physique."
The head of the Yan Clan shouted to everyone. The kitchen was already ready and the ape's arm began to be cooked.
Seeing this lively scene, he felt extremely gratified in his heart. As long as they could eat this thing, their Yan Clan would be able to stand higher in the Sunset City.
At this moment, the auction was still ongoing. Someone had gotten what they wanted and everyone was looking forward to the next item. Rather, how many good items the expert had given to the auction.
"Next up is the last item to be auctioned. This item is definitely useful to everyone, so I will give everyone half a day before we start the auction at night."
That was what Yan Wudao had discussed with the President of the auction.
This way, not only could he attract more customers but he could also hold a large-scale auction under the dim sky.
The first two items were like a stone door.
Inviting all the cultivators in Sunset City to this place would allow the auction house to earn a fortune.
It could be said that they were quite good at operating. The person who was most angry when he heard this news was probably Durkelon.
Initially, he wanted to complete his grandfather's instructions quickly and procure the item. Afterward, he could have left and spent more time with Irvine.
Now, what if Irvine was eaten by Lorne tonight? Lorne didn't look like a good person!
Although he was not a good person himself, he really liked Irwinne.
Otherwise, with his family's prestige, if he directly went to Irvine's family to propose marriage, they might very well agree to Durkelon's conditions.
After all, Durkelen was the only heir to the Kerr Family. He had no siblings or anything.
"Mr. K, since we have to continue the auction at night, do you want to come over at night or rest at our auction house?"
"Everything you spend here is free. Also, you can tell us if you need anything tonight."
The waiter stood aside and waited for Lorne's reply.
Lorne thought for a moment. He'd followed Irvine and Durkelon today. He'd bought basically everything he needed to eat and drink.
There was nothing else he really needed but Lorne remembered that he had said that he wanted to go shopping with Irvine.
But now, it didn't seem like they would be going out, so he decided to have a candlelight dinner with her.
"Waiter, please order your signature dishes and bring a few candles."
Lorne instructed the waiter, who became confused.
He could understand eating but what was the candle for?
However, she did not dare to ask too much. After all, Lorne was a big client and she could not afford to offend him.
She bowed and left.
When she met Yan Wudao on the way, she immediately told him about Lorne's orders.
This made the old man a little confused, unable to figure out what Lorne had in mind.
It was one thing to eat but he even wanted candles. What was he doing?
He had to go and take a look later. Who knew what this mysterious Mr. K was up to?
Irvine was also puzzled. "Brother Lorne, why do you want candles?"
Lorne smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, you'll understand in a while."
Although she was full of doubts, she did not ask further.
Anyway, she trusted Lorne. After all, he was someone she liked.
If she didn't even have that little bit of trust, she wouldn't be following Lorne around.
Shortly after, the waiter brought the dishes and candles over.
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Lorne spoke.
"Turn off the lights when you leave too. Thanks."
Because it was a closed room, once the lights were turned off, the room became very dark.
In the face of Lorne's strange request, the waiter did not say anything and just did as she was told.
Then, she left. After the lights were switched off, the entire room fell into pitch black silence.
The sudden discrepancy in the ambiance, from bright to dark, startled Irvine. She screamed.
Lorne quickly used his fire magic to light the candles on the table.
In the dark room, there was only light where Lorne and Irvine were.
The rest of the place was dark and they only had eyes for each other.
Irvine looked at Lorne and he looked at her.
As their eyes met, Lorne spoke first.
"Your eyes are really pretty. Whenever I look at them, I am reminded of a warm, sunny day on a bed of soft and vibrant green. They have the clarity of the rain and beauty of the moon."
Hearing Lorne say this, Irvine's face turned red.
Then Lorne said again, "But my eyes are better because I have you in them."
With that, Lorne laughed but Irvine was not convinced.
She raised her head and said to Lorne, "Impossible. My eyes are better than yours because I have you in my eyes too!"
When Irvine finished speaking, their ambiguous conversation reached its climax.
Without another word, she took the initiative to kiss him. Lorne didn't shy away. He pushed away any flicker of concerns and the two of them kissed under the candlelight.
After the kiss, Lorne said to Irvine,
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"No, I don't want that."
Lorne was surprised to hear her answer. He thought Irvine liked him too.
That was why he confessed and they kissed.
However, just as he was about to confirm their relationship, Irvine actually rejected him.
Lorne was stunned, bitterness rose in his heart.
Looking at the confused Lorne, Irvine laughed.
"I don't want to be your girlfriend. I want to be your wife!"
It took Lorne a moment to realize what she was saying.
This was not the original Earth. Girlfriend here meant a wife.
On this side, if the two of them were determined to be in a relationship, they would be engaged. After they got into a relationship, they would be married.
It was not like the original world where it started with a girlfriend.
"You little fox, you're really trying to embarrass me!"
Hearing Lorne's words, Irvine wanted to explain something.
But Lorne did not give her a chance to speak. He hugged her with passion and they kissed again.
