Hot tears streamed down Jiang Yuchan’s cheeks while filling her belly with chicken soup.
Ling Bao’er and Foxy looked stunned.
Chen Changan blinked.
The girls shared a look and stared in doubt at him. [Master, did you feed us soup to keep us busy while you had your way with Pretty Sister?]
Their piercing stares left Chen Changan remorseful. [I haven’t done anything here!]
[Why am I feeling guilty though?] Chen Changan sighed.
He thought giving black chicken soup to Jiang Yuchan would help her illness, but it was clear it only made things worse.
“Ahem, Jiang Yuchan, maybe you should take it easy with the soup.”
Finishing her last bowl, she gave a belch and wiped her tears.
The tearful sight inspired nothing but pity.
“Senior, now that I’ve finished eating, let’s get serious.”
Chen Changan cleared his voice. [Hey, don’t say something so ambiguous. These children are very impressionable.]
“Yeah, let’s.” Chen Changan turned grave and gestured at the three glistening fruits on the Everlasting Immortal Tree outside.
“What will you give for the three Everlasting Immortal Fruits?”
Jiang Yuchan blinked, her pitiful look more pronounced than ever.
Chen Changan thought. [Don’t think charm, illness, tears, and a dopye look will get you a discount. These are the priceless Everlasting Immortal Fruits we’re talking about here.]
Chen Changan said, “I know their value in the Upper Realm, so give me what you think is proper. Depending on this exchange, we could have many more in the future.”
Jiang Yuchan was silent. She thought he was toying with her, but his stern attitude made her refute that thought. Since he was the Awakened Demon Lord, what was the point of wasting time on a nobody like her?
Jiang Yuchan weakly said, “Senior, is this what you mean by having a talk?”
“What else is there? Didn’t you descend for them?”
“You won’t kill me?” Jiang Yuchan hesitated.
“Why would I do that?” Chen Changan was stumped.
The girls gave curious looks. “Pretty Sister, Master has no reason to kill you.”
Jiang Yuchan saw hope for survival and lit up with a glorious smile.
She got out of bed and said, “Senior, I vow to Dao that I shall keep your identity a secret. May I be struck down and disintegrated by merely thinking of betraying you!”
Chen Changan squinted, connecting the dots to his Eternal Body.
[You’re telling me the lust for my flesh isn’t limited to the Lower Realm, but the Upper Realm as well? Am I that popular?]
Chen Changan sighed. “Many in the Upper Realm must be after me, I take it?”
Jiang Yuchan nodded. She knew the moment word came of his existence; the countless Immortal Domains would unite to purge him. She didn’t know how the supreme being escaped the last time, but it was clear he wasn’t at his peak. The Immortals would make mincemeat out of him.
Jiang Yuchan admired Chen Changan for that.
[Senior is worthy of being the Awakened Demon Lord of old. While brutal and savage in destroying billions of lives and Immortal Domains, he was wise to hide in the Lower Realm to survive for so long.]
She only realized his true identity because she came from the Jiang clan and had received their inheritance.
Chen Changan thought. [My situation is worse than I thought. Everyone is out to get a literal piece of my Eternal Body. I’m only alive thanks to the Absolute Domain.]
