Chapter 1649 - 1650: Long Qianqian (Third Update)
Lin Chen looked at the two people walking towards him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He originally didn't want to seek trouble, but trouble came looking for him.
"Kill!"
One of them, with a flicker of his blade, aimed for Lin Chen's throat.
But just as his blade reached midair, it suddenly froze.
The next second, Lin Chen's hand had already seized the man's throat.
"Crack!"
With a muffled sound, the martial artist's neck was crushed by Lin Chen, and he fell to the ground.
The other man's face changed dramatically at the sight.
Lin Chen's movements were too fast; he hadn't even reacted before his companion was dead.
Damn, turns out he's a master.
The martial artist put his hand in his mouth, just about to signal for help, but Lin Chen didn't give him the chance.
Lin Chen's body transformed into a streak of shadow, appearing directly in front of the martial artist.
In the blink of an eye, the martial artist's neck was also snapped by Lin Chen.
Looking at the two dead martial artists on the ground, Lin Chen snorted coldly, "You were the ones who provoked me first."
After hiding the two martial artists, Lin Chen turned and vanished into the jungle.
As the sunset fell, the entire jungle was plunged into darkness.
By a campfire, Lin Chen held a stick, on which two wild rabbits were tied.
Though in the wild, with his little culinary skills, Lin Chen still made the two wild rabbits delightfully fragrant.
Lin Chen turned the rabbits, contemplating his next route.
Just then, he suddenly heard a voice from the tree, "Smells so good!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Chen's expression changed.
With his perception capabilities, Lin Chen hadn't noticed anyone nearby.
A slender figure jumped down from the tree and walked towards the campfire.
It was a girl of seventeen or eighteen, wearing a light blue floral dress, her pretty face still carrying a bit of youthfulness.
The girl fixed her gaze on the roasting rabbit by the fire, drooling at the corners of her mouth.
Seeing this, Lin Chen was speechless; it seemed this little girl was a foodie, drawn by the smell of the roasted rabbit.
The girl sat next to Lin Chen by the campfire, "Big brother, I'm hungry, can you give me one of those rabbits?"
Lin Chen smiled, "No problem."
With that, Lin Chen handed one of the roasted rabbits to the girl.
"Eat up, they're freshly roasted."
The girl's face lit up with joy, and she devoured the rabbit without even checking if it was poisoned.
Seeing her eat like that, Lin Chen was at a loss for words.
The girl quickly gobbled up the rabbit in a few bites, then her eyes fell on the other rabbit.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "You can eat this one too, I'm not hungry yet."
"Big brother, you are so nice."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the girl beamed and finished the other rabbit too.
After eating two rabbits in a row, the girl's stomach was clearly full.
"Thank you, big brother, my name is Long Qianqian, what's your name?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, "My name is Lin Chen."
"Lin Chen? Never heard of you, haha, but your cooking is really good." The girl laughed.
At this moment, Lin Chen's gaze suddenly landed on the girl.
On her shoulder, a patch of red was visible.
Apparently, she was injured, and the injury was not light.
"Are those people after you?" Lin Chen asked.
Long Qianqian nodded, "Yes, it was those bastards who hurt me."
"Let me take a look at your wound." Lin Chen said.
Long Qianqian froze for a moment but then nodded, "Thank you, big brother."
Lin Chen was slightly speechless at her innocent gaze.
After all, she was being chased, yet she showed no wariness towards him.
Lin Chen gently pulled back Long Qianqian's clothing on her shoulder.
On her shoulder seemed to be a blood-red palm imprint.
"Damn it, who on earth would use such a ruthless move on a little girl?"
As Lin Chen tore the clothing, the girl clearly winced in pain, letting out a faint moan.
"Bear with it for a moment." Lin Chen pressed his hand lightly on her body.
Strings of life light merged into Long Qianqian's body.
Long Qianqian felt her shoulder, which was previously so painful it was numb, regaining sensation, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Big brother, you're amazing, your medical skills are even better than my second grandpa's." Long Qianqian exclaimed in joy.
Lin Chen was speechless, "You've suffered such a serious injury, yet you're so optimistic. If you hadn't met me, your arm might have been crippled."
Long Qianqian smiled faintly, "My great-grandpa told my fortune, said I have a good fate, and look, I met you."
Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, "This girl is such an optimist."
After bandaging Long Qianqian's wound, Lin Chen smiled, "I've healed your wound. Just don't move around too much, and you'll recover in a few days."
Long Qianqian nodded, looking exhausted, and said to Lin Chen, "Big brother, I've traveled all day, a bit tired, going to sleep first."
With that, whether Lin Chen agreed or not, she curled up next to him and fell asleep deeply.
Looking at the little beauty asleep, Lin Chen was exasperated.
This little girl seemed to trust him too much, falling asleep with no guard at all.
"Lin Chen, this little girl isn't ordinary." At this moment, Feng Jiu's voice came from within.
"Do you know her identity?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Feng Jiu nodded solemnly, "I sensed an ancient bloodline from her, she should be from the Dragon Clan."
"Dragon Clan?" Lin Chen's gaze sharpened.
Feng Jiu said solemnly, "Feng Clan and Dragon Clan are among the top clans in the Immortal Realm. Although this girl's powers aren't strong, her bloodline is very pure, indicating her high status within the Dragon Clan."
"Oh!" Lin Chen looked at the sleeping Long Qianqian and smiled bitterly.
"Is that Ghost Domain very powerful?" Lin Chen asked.
In the Immortal Realm, Ghost Domain is the top sinister sect, its members are scattered throughout the realm. Offending them is a troublesome matter.
"I see." Lin Chen looked at the girl by his side and sighed.
He already had enough troubles of his own. While he was somewhat fond of this girl, getting involved in the conflict between these two major factions didn't seem wise.
After all, his strength wasn't that great, and if he angered Ghost Domain, it might bring about his own doom.
A ray of sunshine broke through the treetops, illuminating where Lin Chen and Long Qianqian rested.
Long Qianqian opened her eyes, stretching lazily.
"Thank you, brother, for the delicious food and a place to sleep. I haven't slept this comfortably in a long time." Long Qianqian smiled at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled and nodded, "Mm, those people are quite powerful. Be careful, let's part ways here."
Long Qianqian seemed to catch on to Lin Chen's intention and smiled faintly, "Mm, I'll be off then, big brother. By the way, those people are murderous demons, you'd better not go the same way as me."
As soon as she finished, Long Qianqian's form flashed, leaping onto a branch, vanishing in a few jumps.
Watching Long Qianqian disappear, Lin Chen smiled bitterly.
Because the direction she went was precisely the way to Heishui City, where he intended to go.
