You dare to spit at me!
Two guards immediately drew their crossbows, aiming at Chen Anlin.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the bolts shot through the air, Chen Anlin's figure flickered like a ghost, and in an instant, he had already moved ten meters away.
Hmm??
Seeing Chen Anlin's skills, Zhang Qing's gaze sharpened. He immediately realized that this person was not simple!
"Catch him!" Zhang Qing shouted excitedly.
"Huh?? Young Master, this..."
The guards exchanged troubled glances. Chen Anlin was currently surrounded by a pack of wolves; how could they act?
Approaching would only make them prey for the Blackfire Wolves.
"Young Master, why don't we wait until the poison takes effect in the Blackfire Wolves before we strike? It won't be too late then." One of the subordinates suggested, gathering his courage.
"Fine, but keep your eyes on that kid," Zhang Qing said, narrowing his eyes as he watched Chen Anlin.
His instincts told him that Chen Anlin must have a significant secret.
What surprised him even more was that Chen Anlin suddenly darted out of the encirclement of wolves.
At the same time, sword energy surged from Chen Anlin as he struck down the Blackfire Wolves.
This pack of Blackfire Wolves was formidable; under normal circumstances, with Chen Anlin's strength, he would definitely not be a match for them.
However, they were all poisoned now, their strength and reaction speed slowed down, which allowed Chen Anlin to handle them effectively.
"No! He's trying to escape!" Zhang Qing exclaimed, slapping his thigh in frustration.
Awooo!
As the leader of the Blackfire Wolves fell to Chen Anlin's blade, Zhang Qing slammed his thigh again!
That was supposed to be his prey! He never expected that most of it would be slaughtered by this guy!
How was he supposed to gain experience points now?
Chen Anlin turned back and struck again with a sword. Although he held no sword in hand, his mastery of swordsmanship meant that even without a weapon, he was more formidable than many with one.
Before the group of Black Fire Wolves could react, they fell one by one, lifeless on the ground.
"You won't be getting any experience points now," Chen Anlin sneered.
Zhang Qing slammed his thigh in frustration. "Damn it! How could he steal my experience points? Chase after him! Go, go!" he shouted.
"Chase! Catch up to him!" The guards cursed as they rushed out, but unfortunately, Chen Anlin was too fast. By the time they plunged into the darkness, his figure had already vanished, leaving Zhang Qing fuming.
"Young Master Zhang, that guy actually got away!" Finally, a terrified guard approached Zhang Qing, head bowed in report.
In a fit of rage, Zhang Qing grabbed the guard by the neck and coldly said, "Useless."
Crack!
The guard's head tilted at an unnatural angle as he fell lifelessly to the ground.
【Ding! Guard killed. Experience points gained.】
Chen Anlin weaved through the jungle for a long while. After sensing that no one was pursuing him, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I never expected to encounter a fortune bearer here," Chen Anlin mused.
【Ding! Prevented Zhang Qing's plan. Fortune points acquired.】
Seeing the notification, Chen Anlin felt a wave of relief wash over him. "I need to head back now, but it seems I can't afford to go out carelessly anymore." He touched his face and suddenly smiled.
He never imagined that one day he would be hunted by a fortune bearer himself.
Early the next morning, Chen Anlin finally blended into the city.
As he walked along, he heard about the chaos that erupted yesterday. It was said that Young Master Zhang Qing of the Zhang family had flown into a rage and killed several guards. Moreover, because of him, dozens of loose cultivators had lost their lives. Now, these cultivators were causing a stir at the Zhang family, demanding an explanation.
However, the powerful Zhang family completely ignored them and simply drove them away.
Having not returned all night, the Empress must be worried about me, right?
Finally arriving at the inn's entrance, Chen Anlin looked inside and spoke. Just as he had guessed, Wu Xixue had hardly slept a wink throughout the night. At that moment, she was pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
Where has Chen Anlin gone? If he doesn’t come back soon, I’ll have to leave the city to find him.
Yesterday, Chen Anlin had mentioned going out to sell pills, but he hadn’t expected to be gone all night. This made her quite anxious.
Sensing Wu Xixue's state, Chen Anlin couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It seemed that the Empress was indeed concerned about him.
“Your Majesty!!”
Upon hearing Chen Anlin's voice, Wu Xixue froze in place for a moment. Once she regained her senses, she rushed over and grabbed his hand. “You didn’t come back all night! Where have you been? Do you know how worried I was?!”
As she spoke, she playfully punched his chest a few times.
Chen Anlin coughed a few times and held his chest. “Your Majesty, I’m injured! You’re going to make me cough up blood!”
“Ah, are you okay?”
Seeing that Chen Anlin’s face didn’t look too good, Wu Xixue became anxious and quickly helped him into the room while asking about his condition.
Looking at Wu Xixue’s deep concern for him, Chen Anlin felt warmth in his heart.
“Your Majesty, if I were to die, you must hold on. I believe you will soon find Sanxia Sect.”
Chen Anlin said weakly.
"You must be joking! With me here, how could I possibly let you go!"
Sighing, he added, "I know my injuries; I'm afraid my time is short."
"Don't say such things!" As she spoke, Wu Xixue's eyes began to redden.
Tears as big as beans fell directly from her eyes.
"Pfft!"
Seeing the Empress so heartbroken, Chen Anlin couldn't help but chuckle, bursting into laughter.
It was simply too amusing; the Empress was genuinely crying for him. Was there really such a funny situation in this world?
Caught off guard, Wu Xixue was splashed with his laughter.
Instantly, she became furious!
Quickly wiping the saliva from her face, she glared at Chen Anlin and said, "Chen Anlin, how dare you spit on me!"
At this moment, Wu Xixue realized that Chen Anlin was deliberately putting on an act in front of her.
This guy had no sense of sentimentality at all!
Grinning widely, Chen Anlin replied, "Your Majesty, your expression just now was truly—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Wu Xixue leaned in and kissed him.
"Smack! Hurry up!"
After a stick of incense had burned down, Wu Xixue coldly huffed, "I punish you three times for deceiving me just now."
Chen Anlin:
This guy wanted him to do it three times all at once; it was like asking for his life!
Chen Anlin immediately decided to back down and quickly said, "Your Majesty, let's talk this over; there's no need to go that far. I'm a person, not a cow!"
His plea for mercy made Wu Xixue burst into laughter again. "Pfft!" She coldly huffed and said, "Who told you to deceive me? Since you dared to trick me, you must pay the price, understand?"
Hearing this, Chen Anlin gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. "Alright, alright! I'll do it!"
Wu Xixue pinched his waist hard and coldly remarked, "What kind of attitude is that? I ask you to do something and you act like I'm killing you. Do you even know how charming I am?"
After all, she still had the heart of a little girl. Wu Xixue was quite proud and looked at Chen Anlin with amusement.
If the Empress regained her memory in the future and recalled her current self, one could only imagine what her reaction would be. Just thinking about it was truly exciting.
After joking for a while, Wu Xixue finally asked, "By the way, you still haven't told me how it went last night?"
Hearing this, Chen Anlin's expression darkened as he replied, "This is a serious matter. We should avoid going out carelessly around here for now."
Wu Xixue furrowed her brows. "What happened?"
Chen Anlin explained, "I sold some elixirs yesterday, and members of the Zhang family from the Cultivation Sect showed up."
He then recounted the events in brief. Upon learning about Zhang Qing's actions, Wu Xixue gritted her teeth in anger. "That guy actually wants to deal with you? He's asking for death!"
"Yes, I had some means to escape; otherwise, I might have been trapped there," Chen Anlin said, frowning as he felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"Anlin, don't worry. Once I return to the Sanxiao Sect and find our ancestor, I will make sure they pay for this! No, the entire Cultivation Zhang family will pay with their lives."
Chen Anlin felt a stir in his heart as he looked at Wu Xixue. In that moment, he felt as if the once-mighty Empress had returned. It seemed that with the passage of time, Wu Xixue's memories were gradually coming back.
Days passed, and Chen Anlin mostly stayed indoors. Even when selling elixirs, he preferred to let Wu Xixue go out and sell them to nearby shops. Although the prices were lower, safety was more important.
Meanwhile, the entire Cultivation Zhang family seemed to have gone mad in their frantic search for Chen Anlin. Fortunately, not many people had paid attention to his appearance at the time, and since it was dark when he escaped, no one had clearly seen his face. Therefore, even if the Cultivation Zhang family wanted to find him, they had no leads.
The only information circulating outside about Chen Anlin was a rough description of his height and build—details that matched countless others.
And just like that, a year slipped by in the blink of an eye. One day, Chen Anlin and Wu Xixue agreed that it was time to leave this place.
