Chapter 31 - The Strange Goblet

Lin Yu followed behind An Yuan in his room slippers.

The moment he entered her house, he felt his world light up.

An Yuan's house was a little similar to the European-style houses in his previous life, and the decoration was much more luxurious than his house.

Dark red was the color basis of the whole house.

"Lin Yu is here? Take a seat," The one who spoke was a beautiful woman in her thirties.

She was wearing a wine-red dress, her makeup was light, and her skin was fair. Her curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and her every movement carried an air of elegance and nobility.

Even though she was wearing an apron, it couldn't hide her curvaceous figure.

"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Yu said politely.

"You're welcome. Just treat it as your own home," She smiled and hung her apron aside.

Lin Yu sat down at the dining table, which was already filled with dishes.

This was... He couldn't move his eyes away.

"Dragon snake soup, stir-fried flame pig, and the one in the middle couldn't possibly be the destruction kingfish, right? "

There were also many dishes that he did not recognize.

Was this a normal dinner? What kind of family could afford this...

Lin Yu's mouth was slightly hanging, and he was silent for a moment.

An Yuan had already changed her shoes and sat next to Lin Yu.

She took a bite of the pig and frowned, "Mom, is the flame pig today only in the origin birth realm? Why does the texture seem off?"

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then took a bite.

It was oily but not greasy, fresh, and delicious. It was as if all the cells in his body were about to explode from the deliciousness.

He was silent for a while again.

Damn, rich lady.

"Auntie An, did you make this? your cooking skills are superb," Lin Yu felt that he had to follow his heart and speak the truth.

Hearing this, An Xingwan beamed with joy. She turned around and chided An Yuan, "Look at how polite Lin Yu is. I've spoiled you too much."

"Mom!" An Yuan pouted, her feet shaking under the table. She was completely different from the graceful image Lin Yu had seen outside.

At home, she seemed to be more playful and lively.

"Lin Yu, what do you want to drink? Would you like some skyflower juice? Or do you want something more exciting like the three flames liquid?" An Xingwan asked for Lin Yu's opinion.

"Uh, I'm fine with anything."

The main thing was that he hadn't even heard of those drinks before... Lin Yu muttered in his heart.

He watched as An Yuan's mother stood up and walked to a shelf that had all kinds of bottles, teapots, and cups on it. They were all in different shapes and glowed with different colors.

That was ...

Lin Yu's eyes widened as he looked at the dark purple teapot above. The surface of the pot was uneven and embedded with gemstones. A large tongue stretched out from the bottom of the pot's mouth.

"Is that a pet beast?" Lin Yu was slightly stunned.

Its eyes were closed, and it seemed to be sleeping. The teapot trembled along with the light snores.

The cup beside it was also very strange... Lin Yu's gaze shifted.

It was a goblet, and one-third of it was filled with a light pink liquid that was sparkling with starlight. On the body of the cup was a pair of eyes with long eyelashes and a pair of red lips.

The moment he saw the goblet, Lin Yu felt as if he was drowning in its beauty.

Snatch it... Fulfill his wish...

He seemed to be hearing things.

"There's something strange about this pet beast," He shook his head to keep himself clear-minded.

The Goblet seemed to have noticed Lin Yu as well, and it threw him a flirtatious look.

Had a cup just flirted with him?

Lin Yu was speechless.

Why did it feel like An Yuan's family had suddenly become strange ...

An Xingwan had already turned around with a transparent water bottle in her hand. Lin Yu was too embarrassed to take out the illustrated handbook to scan the pet beasts in front of her.

"But I didn't see any other pet beasts besides these two. It doesn't look like their house can accommodate too many pet beasts either... Were the pets An Yuan mentioned last time put in a breeding ground?" Lin Yu muttered in his heart.

Only the rich could afford to operate a breeding ground.

Looking at her family's conditions, they did fit the bill.

"Have a taste. The skyflower juice can jolt one's spirit and clear up the six internal organs."

An Xingwan poured everyone a glass.

Lin Yu looked over curiously. The cup was filled with a light green liquid, and the water at the bottom formed the shape of a flower with a gurgling sound. Just by smelling it, his mental energy seemed to have been replenished.

An Xingwan raised her glass with a smile, "Lin Yu, congratulations on winning the school's meet."

An Yuan also raised the cup in her hand, and she seemed to be chewing something in her mouth.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie," Lin Yu stood up and added, "And thank you, An Yuan."

He raised his head and downed the drink. As the green liquid entered his stomach, he felt as if all the cells in his body were blooming, and his brain became extremely clear. It was as if he could even recall things from a long time ago.

This was good stuff ... Lin Yu licked his lips and sat down.

He looked at the cheeky An Yuan and the elegant An Xingwan, and for a moment, he felt a sense of family he had not felt for a long time.

The restraint of being a newcomer was long gone.

"If I told Mrs. An that I have been wandering for half my life and regretted not having fortuitous fates with people, then asked her if she was willing to be my foster mother, how would she react?"

He felt like he was being naughty again.

Ahem, forget it. He was not such a shameless person.

When his rank increased in the future, he would have bread and milk.

"Lin Yu, what's your first pet's attribute?" An Yuan asked curiously.

"Dark attribute and necromancy attribute."

Seeing that An Yuan had suddenly stopped eating, Lin Yu blinked and stared at her, "What's wrong?"

"My mom guessed it right. She said your first pet should be of the dark attribute," An Yuan said helplessly.

"Auntie, how did you know?" Lin Yu also stopped.

Did she install surveillance cameras in his house? Or had the news already spread from the school?

"It's because the dark aura on you is especially thick," An Xingwan chuckled.

Lin Yu was stunned.

So that's what it was.

One would be affected by whatever one had near.

Recently, he had been fighting with Xiaozi at a high intensity, so it was inevitable that he would be contaminated with her aura.

But why couldn't he see the attributes of others?

As if she could read his mind, An Xingwan said, "Don't worry, ordinary people won't be able to tell. Only those who have reached a certain level of attainment in the same attribute will be attracted by the energy of the same element.

"My mom is an expert in training pet beasts of the dark attribute," An Yuan said smugly.

Lin Yu was stunned as he looked at the graceful An Xingwan.

He had expected her to be quite powerful, but he didn't expect her to be an expert in the dark attribute.

"To be honest, after you contract your second pet beast, if the two pets are of different attributes, their energies will be mixed up. Then, even my mom won't be able to tell," An Yuan teased.

Oh, I see... Lin Yu felt relieved. Their words had dispelled his doubts. He had thought that any random powerful person would be able to see through him.

"Lin Yu, what pet beast do you want to contract with as your second pet? Do you have an ideal type?" An Yuan found a topic.

Lin Yu was stunned.

What thoughts did he have ...

He would probably have to wait until his handbook was unlocked and draw a lottery.

"Dragons, machines, and handsome or pretty humanoid pet beasts," He said after some thought.

An Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "Then go and contract a sprite. It'll definitely satisfy your third requirement."
