Zhuqing looked at Lin Chen, her eyes already glazed over. She tried to hold back but found herself utterly unable to do so.
"Help me!" Zhuqing spoke with difficulty, her voice soft, with a hint of shyness and pleading in her brows.
"Okay!" Lin Chen smiled faintly.
Upon receiving Lin Chen's answer, it was as if a switch had been flipped inside Zhuqing. She eagerly came before Lin Chen, her slender arms tightly wrapped around his neck, her delicate feet lightly tiptoeing, and her beautiful and charming face quickly moved towards Lin Chen's.
"Whoosh..."
The mist on the bathroom glass door grew thicker and thicker. Soon, a pair of slender hands appeared on it, leaving several long and twisted finger marks!!!!
...
In the afternoon, with the scorching sun high in the sky, Lin Chen's figure reappeared in the Full Magic World. Zhuqing, having endured the storm, was completely exhausted and had fallen asleep.
Lin Chen took the opportunity to find Tang Yue and the others. After a few days of treasure hunting, their gains were decreasing day by day.
"You've come at just the right time. Everyone is preparing to go back!" Tang Yue said happily when she saw Lin Chen arrive.
Lin Chen smiled, "Okay, I'll escort you out of Scorching Plains!"
Tang Yue heard this, a look of confusion on her face, and asked, "From what you're saying, you're not planning to come back with us?"
Lingling, who was nearby, also looked at Lin Chen in surprise. In her opinion, Lin Chen had many secrets, but if Lin Chen didn't tell her proactively, she would never ask.
Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes, this place is very suitable for my training. I plan to train in Scorching Plains for a while!"
Currently, the environment of Scorching Plains is most suitable for Lin Chen to farm monsters. The Sha Wang River has countless demon beasts, and their levels have all reached War General Level.
Next, the Ancient Capital incident is approaching. At that time, the Ancient Capital will be a must-visit for Lin Chen. This is related to Lin Chen's future plans.
Lin Chen, with his family and dependents, requires enormous resources. His monster-farming time is already limited, and if he slacks off any more, Lin Chen's resources will run out. The Sha Wang River in Scorching Plains is undoubtedly his ideal place to farm monsters! Lin Chen wants to spend some time farming enough cultivation resources for the next year, or even two years.
Tang Yue saw that Lin Chen was unwilling to say more, so she didn't press him, especially since Mo Fan and others were still around. Tang Yue said, "How about I stay and accompany you?"
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Your daughter is still waiting for you at home! Let's go, I'll see you off!"
Saying that, Lin Chen once again took out a pile of giant nets and handed them to everyone.
As the saying goes, as you come, so you return. No one had any questions. They all picked up the giant nets and put them on themselves.
In a short while, Lin Chen's figure had already appeared in the air. In just a moment, Lin Chen led everyone across the terrifying Sha Wang River. However, Lin Chen did not land but chose to see them all the way through.
Everyone also experienced the feeling of being carried all the way. As they left Scorching Plains, Lin Chen gave Tang Yue some energy crystals. Tang Yue now had another daughter to raise. Lin Yue was fine, but the milk powder for Xiao Yan Ji was not cheap.
After seeing off Tang Yue and the others, Lin Chen returned to the Sha Wang River before choosing to bring Jiang Feng into the Spirit World.
"So amazing!" Jiang Feng exclaimed in surprise when she saw the beautiful new World!
"Come, I'll take you to see a place!" Lin Chen said, pulling Jiang Feng and Teleporting into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"I can feel its incredibly vibrant life force. Thank you, Lin Chen!" Jiang Feng said gratefully after seeing the Xing Yu Giant Tree.
Lin Chen smiled, "You're welcome. This was our promise. You can live here from now on. This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It can accelerate plant growth tenfold, and combined with the Spirit World's hundredfold amplification for flora and fauna, the Xing Yu Giant Tree growing here for one year is equivalent to growing for a thousand years! I don't think it will be long before the Xing Yu Giant Tree can replenish its energy and bear fruit again!"
Watching Jiang Feng nod continuously, Lin Chen led her to the spring and continued, "The red spring water is beneficial for your cultivation. If you cultivate here long-term, it won't be long before your flames become the ultimate fire."
"Thank you, I'm very satisfied with the environment here!" Jiang Feng said.
Lin Chen said, "You're too kind. If you ever get tired of this life, you can tell me anytime. The Spirit World is very big, and you can also explore around!"
"Okay!" Jiang Feng nodded.
"If you miss Chen Ying, I can take you to see her!" Lin Chen said.
Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Never mind. After all, she and I are from two different Worlds. It's better to see each other less in the future. As long as she's doing well, that's enough!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen could clearly feel Jiang Feng's sadness. Jiang Feng was currently in a demon beast body. Lin Chen suddenly felt a sense of unfulfilled human-demon love!
Lin Chen nodded, "Since that's the case, I respect your choice. I will inform you of any news regarding Chen Ying in the future!"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Thank you!"
Lin Chen waved his hand, then left some energy crystals for Jiang Feng and left the Spirit World. The heavy task of farming monsters was still a long way off!
In the evening, as the sun set, Lin Chen finally put away his Spirit Beast army and returned to the Spirit World.
...
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, a week had passed. During this week, Lin Chen's life was quite regular: farming monsters during the day and accompanying Zhuqing at night.
Lin Chen and Zhuqing had a tacit understanding and didn't communicate much. Zhuqing had an attitude of "if you don't ask, I won't tell." For Lin Chen, asking no longer held much meaning. The Seven Monsters of the second playthrough had clearly returned, but the current Douluo Continent had long been completely altered by Lin Chen. Even if a God King returned, it would be useless.
And Zhuqing had already expressed her feelings through her actions; she wished she could melt into Lin Chen's body every moment!
Lin Chen was also very generous in helping Zhuqing refine several precious ten-thousand-year-old whale glue and one-hundred-thousand-year-old whale glue.
Dai Mubai was destined to be given a green hat by Lin Chen. At the same time, Lin Chen himself fell into self-doubt. In this life, he always felt that he had the wrong surname; he shouldn't be surnamed Lin but rather Cao. His behavior was truly that of a Cao Thief!
In the early morning, the sky showed a sliver of white. Zhuqing and Lin Chen nestled closely together. At this moment, both had woken up, their eyes met, silent. This peaceful yet fulfilling life made Zhuqing feel very secure. If possible, she wished it could be like this forever.
Unconsciously, a hint of affection appeared in Zhuqing's eyes.
Perceiving Zhuqing's change, Lin Chen smiled slightly and gently kissed Zhuqing's starry eyes.
