"This guy is still as greedy as ever."
Yu Weilian watched Lin Chen’s avaricious demeanor, sighed inwardly, and couldn’t help feeling somewhat helpless.
Aside from his increased cultivation strength, Lin Chen was otherwise not much different from the Lin Chen she had once known.
Once he had put away the Space Crystal Stone, Lin Chen stepped towards the shattered Skeleton Frames, waved his hand, and collected all of them into the spatial domain of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
While Lin Chen was dealing with those five Skeleton Frames, the people from Divine Flame Sect were taking care of the bodies of their sisters.
Seeing the tragic death of their sisters, everyone became sad and even more terrified, knowing that if Lin Chen hadn’t arrived in time, their fates might have been the same as the deceased sisters before them.
"Young Master Lin Chen, where do you plan to go next?"
Yao Qinghe approached Lin Chen and asked calmly.
She had witnessed the power of Lin Chen’s fierce tiger puppet and wanted to join him in the upcoming explorations to significantly increase her chances of survival, for the dangers within these ruins far exceeded their expectations.
"Naturally, I plan to continue deeper in search of more treasures."
Facing the kind-hearted Yao Qinghe, Lin Chen had nothing to hide and shared his true intentions directly.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qinghe felt torn inside.
Their current location was likely still the outskirts of the forest, but they had already encountered such danger. The depths of the forest might harbor even more terrifying entities.
For the safety of the Divine Flame Sect, Yao Qinghe did not want to delve deeper, but staying behind meant not being with Lin Chen, which was equally dangerous.
"Young Master Lin Chen, we had the same intention. Why not travel together for mutual support?"
Yao Qinghe looked at Lin Chen and spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was immediately troubled. While the presence of Yu Weilian and the other young, beautiful women with graceful figures was pleasant to the eyes, he did not consider their strength impressive, and moreover, in the event of finding treasures, he would now have to share with them.
Noticing Lin Chen’s indecision, Yu Weilian and Yao Qinghe immediately discerned Lin Chen’s concerns.
"Young Master Lin Chen need not worry about the distribution of spoils. All treasures encountered will be at Young Master Lin Chen’s discretion. If we find something of interest, we can offer equivalent treasures in exchange, and Young Master Lin Chen will have the final say on the agreement."
Yao Qinghe looked at Lin Chen, quickly voicing her inner thoughts.
Actually, with the words now said, Yao Qinghe and the others made their intention clear—they wished to follow Lin Chen to reduce danger.
Hearing this, Lin Chen indeed understood everyone’s intentions, but verbal promises were the least useful thing in the Cultivation World.
Seeing Lin Chen hesitate once more, Yao Qinghe did not urge him but simply stood by, quietly waiting.
Yet, the female disciples of Divine Flame Sect from afar felt displeased. In the past, men always pleaded with them to join and protect them.
And Lin Chen, clearly extremely lascivious, was pretending very unwillingly, making them seem like they were begging him, even though in fact, it was indeed Yao Qinghe who was requesting Lin Chen’s help.
Yu Weilian stood aside, very much hoping Lin Chen would agree to Yao Qinghe’s request, yet she said nothing more.
"Alright then, since that’s the case, let’s proceed deeper into the forest. However, let me state upfront, if we encounter any dangers, I will not abandon you if it’s manageable. But if there is an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, I will not hesitate to flee on my own."
Lin Chen spoke to Yao Qinghe and the others, revealing his inner thoughts.
After all, with Lin Chen’s current speed and array of skills, even if pursued by a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, he was confident he could escape. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novｅlfire.net
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, the other female disciples frowned deeply, wondering what kind of man would say such things, but Yao Qinghe agreed immediately. After all, Lin Chen had no obligation to ensure their safety.
Subsequently, the group continued towards the deeper part of the forest together. Though they encountered some dangers along the way, with Lin Chen’s fierce tiger puppet in action, they were easily eliminated.
Along the way, Lin Chen’s treasure hunting was astonishing, leaving everyone shocked with his every move.
Lin Chen seemed to have a nose like a dog, able to find treasures even a hundred meters underground, taking a day and a night to dig them out.
Progressing along their path, there was not a single magic treasure that could escape Lin Chen’s eyes.
One night, Lin Chen did something that the women found exceedingly outrageous—he claimed that since they were under his protection, they should serve him and not be protected for nothing.
It was nighttime, and the women immediately thought of Lin Chen’s lustful desires, assuming he was finally making that kind of demand. Indeed, all men are the same, they thought.
If they were to serve Lin Chen, the women were utterly unwilling, even Yao Qinghe furrowed her brows.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the service Lin Chen demanded was for the women to join him in digging for treasures!
