The female lead betrays Xiao Chen?
Why isn’t this time as effective as last time?
I estimate that this is about quality, not quantity; that’s the true essence of Joyous Cultivation. In other words, it’s not about the purpose of cultivation, but about genuinely enjoying it.
Is that so? Su Menghan nodded, half-understanding.
Well, it’s getting late. You shouldn’t go back at this hour.
Chen Anlin immediately lay down to sleep. After all, it was nighttime, and I can’t rest easy knowing you’re a young girl going back alone at such a late hour.
Are you concerned about me?
Su Menghan felt touched.
By the way, where do you think that brat Xiao Chen is right now?
At this moment, deep within a dense forest, a young man covered in wounds was making his way toward the capital city.
This person was none other than the protagonist, Xiao Chen.
After escaping from Zhao Yao’s house, he had been taken to an unfamiliar place by an otherworldly fairy. Guided by her, he managed to find some spiritual herbs and finally healed most of his injuries.
Chen Anlin, I won’t let you off easily!
A chill swept across Xiao Chen’s face: But you definitely didn’t expect that I would turn misfortune into fortune this time.
Stranded in a remote forest, he unexpectedly discovered a miraculous herb. After consuming it, his cultivation level surged forward.
Now he was at the mid-stage of the Eighth Rank.
By dawn, wearing a waxy yellow mask, Xiao Chen finally arrived in the city. His first priority was to find Zhao Yao.
In the Zhao family’s woodshed, Zhao Yao looked at the haggard-faced Xiao Chen with a furrowed brow.
Yao’er, don’t worry about me; my injuries have healed quite well.
Xiao Chen smiled broadly; he knew Zhao Yao cared about him the most.
But it’s too dangerous here! Why did you come back? And are you really raising evil spirits?
Zhao Yao’s tone was not pleasant. After all, being involved with evil spirits could spell disaster for her family if anyone found out.
"Alright, Yao'er, you don't need to worry about this."
For some unknown reason, Xiao Chen did not want to mention his master.
"Where have you been hiding recently?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback and replied, "Of course I've been here; the outside is under strict investigation."
"Huh??" Zhao Yao became even more conflicted. "It's not that I don't want to help, but what if someone finds this place?"
Xiao Chen could clearly sense the disdain in Zhao Yao's tone and frowned, thinking that she really didn't understand. "Do you think I want to hide here? I truly don’t know what I’m afraid of."
He had once treated her so well, searching for all sorts of peculiar stones for her. Those stones, which represented affection, were carefully selected by him, filled with sincerity.
However, he still understood Zhao Yao and said calmly, "Yao'er, I know you're afraid of Chen Anlin. Don't worry; I'm only hiding for a couple of days. You help me discreetly find out Chen Anlin's whereabouts, and I'll take care of him quietly."
Just then, a commotion of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the storage room.
"Xiao Chen, there are people from the Eastern Factory approaching!"
The foreign fairy suddenly sent a message.
"What??"
Xiao Chen froze and instinctively looked at Zhao Yao. He had only mentioned hiding here to her; could it be that she betrayed him?
This thought barely crossed his mind before he quickly dismissed it. He knew very well what kind of person Zhao Yao was. Even if he were to kill her, she would never betray him—there must be another reason behind this.
Boom!
In the next moment, an official from the Eastern Factory slammed open the door of the storage room with one hand.
"Kekekeke! Young Master Chen, you were right; Xiao Chen really is hiding here!"
As he spoke, he struck again with another palm.
Xiao Chen's face changed drastically; he rolled and jumped towards the window.
Boom!
The entire wall of the storage room was blasted open, demonstrating just how formidable this official's strength was.
Outside, Chen Anlin led a large group of Eastern Factory personnel as they surrounded the storage room.
Zhao Yao had just rushed out, her face still bearing an expression of disbelief, when she saw Chen Anlin nodding at her. "Zhao Yao, you did well this time. You chose the right side and reported Xiao Chen in secret. I will remember this achievement."
Xiao Chen, battered and covered in dirt, felt a surge of anger at those words, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Zhao Yao, you betrayed me!" he shouted through gritted teeth.
Zhao Yao stood there, stunned, her mouth opening and closing in shock. It wasn't until Xiao Chen was surrounded by a group of people once more that she began to comprehend the situation. Unfortunately, there was no time for her to explain anything; the look in Xiao Chen's eyes was filled with resentment.
【Ding! Successfully created a rift between Zhao Yao and Xiao Chen, gaining luck points.】
At that moment, Xiao Chen was consumed by pain and bitterness. "Zhao Yao, I treated you so well, and this is how you repay me?"
"I'm not like that, Xiao Chen!" she protested.
"You wretched woman, just wait! I'll be back!" Xiao Chen shot her a fierce glare.
The Extraterrestrial Fairy spoke up then: "Xiao Chen, I can take you away now, but I've exhausted too much soul power this time. I might not be able to help you for a while."
"I know," Xiao Chen replied impatiently. "What does it matter now? Can't you see I'm surrounded?"
Sensing his irritation, the Extraterrestrial Fairy sighed helplessly. Ever since Xiao Chen had been suppressed by Chen Anlin last time, he had become increasingly irritable; nothing seemed to go smoothly for him anymore.
Whoosh!
The evil spirit reappeared.
With a speed like lightning, the Extraterrestrial Fairy took Xiao Chen and swiftly escaped from the scene.
In a familiar ravine, Xiao Chen landed heavily on the ground and rolled over. He stared blankly at the sky, his teeth nearly biting through his tongue in frustration. The pain in his heart often surpassed any physical pain!
He never imagined that Zhao Yao would betray him.
"Zhao Yao, I won't let you off easily. You better watch your back," he muttered darkly.
"Xiao Chen, there's something strange about this situation; it might not be Zhao Yao's fault," the Extraterrestrial Fairy cautioned.
"Enough! Did you not see what just happened? If it weren't for Zhao Yao betraying me, who else could it be?"
Xiao Chen said angrily, "Alright, Master, hurry up and find out if there are any rare treasures here. I'm feeling weak! I already told you that my soul power has been completely drained. Even talking to you takes all my strength. How could this happen? It's really..."
He cursed inwardly, frustrated that his master had let him down at such a critical moment.
Meanwhile, in the Zhao family, Chen Anlin glanced at the notification that appeared before him.
"Ding! A rift has formed between Xiao Chen and his master, siphoning luck points."
"Hmm?" Chen Anlin looked at the message in the luck vial with surprise, puzzled by what was happening between Xiao Chen and his master. Shaking his head, he chose not to dwell on it and instead focused on Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao glared at Chen Anlin, gritting her teeth. "You did this on purpose to make Xiao Chen misunderstand me, didn't you? You harbor resentment and want to have me for yourself, causing misunderstandings between me and Xiao Chen!"
"Have you for myself?" A smirk appeared on Chen Anlin's lips. "You are hiding a major criminal from the court. This is irrefutable evidence. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, your entire Zhao family will be buried with you!"
With that, Chen Anlin turned to the eunuch beside him, preparing to arrest the entire Zhao family.
Unexpectedly, a woman with long hair cascading over her shoulders and a curvaceous figure suddenly appeared.
"I can testify that Zhao Yao did not hide Xiao Chen. She has been with me the whole time. As for Xiao Chen's presence here, it was purely coincidental; he came here on his own and has nothing to do with Zhao Yao."
Everyone around turned to look, and several martial artists were left dumbfounded.
She was stunningly beautiful.
Especially her voluptuous figure, which stirred an impulsive desire in those who beheld her.
It was her.
Chen Anlin narrowed his eyes upon recognizing her.
As expected of the female lead; just when it mattered most, someone had come to save the day.
