"I'm afraid it won't be that easy, old man. Come with me to take a look. If you want to live a few more years, relying on the Undying Dragon Clan is hopeless. If you behave yourself, I might show some mercy and let you live a bit longer," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jon Delson straightened his body slightly, looking at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"You... you can really let me live a few more years?" Jon Delson asked, both shocked and hopeful. The doctor had already given him the grim news; he feared he wouldn't make it to this year's Christmas.
Hearing the implication in Jiang Chen's words, how could he not feel excited?
"One year, two years, no problem. Ten years, even twenty years, wouldn't be difficult. But..." Jiang Chen paused suddenly.
For Jiang Chen, extending this old man's life by ten or twenty years was indeed not a big deal.
You see, the lifespan of Earthlings is considered low in the universe. In the Xiu Xian World, due to Spiritual Energy, it's common for ordinary people to live over a hundred years, akin to Earthlings living to fifty. Once the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm opens and Spiritual Energy revives on Earth, the lifespan of Earthlings will also increase significantly; living to a hundred will become effortless.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Delson's eyes sparkled with intense light—the light of survival. He nearly grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and exclaimed, "I don't want to die!"
In response to the old man's eager gaze, Jiang Chen added, "As long as you obey."
"Obey, obey! If you can let me live ten more years, I am willing to become your servant and follow your orders," the old man quickly pledged his loyalty, momentarily forgetting about the Undying Dragon Clan. After all, compared to them, Jiang Chen was far more promising.
"Then take me to see the Undying Dragon Clan," Jiang Chen said again.
"Alright, alright." Although the old man still felt anxious inside, he couldn't afford to worry anymore if it meant survival. After all, if he couldn't extend his life, it would end this year anyway. He decided to trust Jiang Chen just this once—whether it was desperate measures or grasping at straws; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would hold on tight.
"Ronnie, prepare the submarine," the old man commanded.
"But..." Master Ronnie hesitated.
"No 'buts.' Go now," the old man said firmly.
Master Ronnie swallowed his words and glanced at Jiang Chen before leaving.
In the hall, only Jiang Chen and the old man remained.
"Preparing the submarine will take some time. Mr. Jiang, I am entrusting my life to you now. As long as I can survive, I'll do whatever you ask of me in the future," the old man spoke again.
"Don't worry; your death won't benefit me. You living might still be useful to me. Letting you live a few more years is no trouble," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile. It seems that no matter who they are, everyone fears death; indeed, coming to terms with life and death is truly difficult!
About an hour later, Master Ronnie returned to report that the submarine was ready.
The Undying Dragon Clan lay deep in the ocean. Delson had been down there once but had never dared to go again. However, this submarine had always been prepared; it just needed some minor adjustments before diving.
Jiang Chen and Delson entered the submarine. It wasn't very large but could comfortably accommodate several people.
Jiang Chen had just used Spiritual Energy briefly to save Delson's life; now he could stand up.
Inside the submarine, besides Jiang Chen and the old man, there was Ronnie.
