Chapter 41 — This Junior Hopes He Can Get a Kiss!

At this moment, Yang Chen led a group from the Xuantian Sect and arrived within the borders of the Liang Kingdom.

The Liang Kingdom was an ancient nation with over ten thousand years of legacy. Every national teacher in the kingdom was from the Xuantian Sect, an affiliated force.

Therefore, although Lin Yan had been running rampant within the Liang Kingdom borders, he was never hunted down by the kingdom’s higher-ups. This was because they still did not know the stance of Yang Chen, the Xuantian Holy Son.

At a small city on the Liang Kingdom border, originally populated by tens of thousands, it was now filled with an air of death.

“Damn it! Lin Yan really is a beast, actually refining and killing all the mortals of an entire city! If I encounter him, I will behead him for sure!”

By Yang Chen’s side, Xueyan angrily declared with an incensed beautiful face.

This time, Yang Chen had brought her along.

As for why, naturally it was because in Lin Yan’s heart, she was his goddess. The first female lead in the original work had special meaning to Lin Yan. To properly plunder Lin Yan’s Providence Luck again, her presence was indispensable.

“Junior Martial Sister Xueyan, you had a good relationship with Yan’er, can you really take action against him?” Yang Chen looked at her and asked.

Xueyan was immediately stunned. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Chen, revealing a hint of panic and barely concealed delight. Because this was the first time Yang Chen had spoken to her directly since annulling their engagement.

The Holy Son is finally willing to speak to me. Is he prepared to forgive me?

Xueyan’s heart raced with excitement as she hurriedly explained: “Holy Son, actually my relationship with Lin Yan was not that good. We were just ordinary, somewhat close friends before. Later, as his actions became more extreme, we gradually grew distant!”

Xueyan’s flustered explanation made the corners of Yang Chen’s mouth curl slightly.

So this was the goddess his previous self-had desperately pursued.

Now, just a few words from him could make her inexplicably excited and fearful.

Alas.

At this moment, a red light swiftly approached from afar.

Yang Chen’s gaze froze as he glanced at Yan Jiu beside him.

Yan Jiu understood and immediately took flight, intercepting that red light.

“It’s you!” As the red light dispersed, Flame Empress’s bewitching figure was revealed. However, Flame Empress’s wasn’t in a very good state. Her form was extremely faint, as if about to vanish from the world.

A hint of greed flashed across Yan Jiu’s face. To him, a Soul Cult cultivator, Flame Empress’s powerful soul body was an irresistible delicacy.

But, he also knew clearly in his heart, that his master had taken an interest in this Flame Empress. She was not something he could defile.

Seeing that he did not attack, Flame Empress coldly snorted and looked down to see Yang Chen below in the deserted city.

Her charming eyes flickered, and she flew straight towards Yang Chen.

“Yang Chen, might you help this seat?” Flame Empress landed before Yang Chen and questioned deeply.

Earlier, she had used a secret technique to burn her soul essence, only then could she escape from the Soul Devouring Powder. But burning her soul essence meant her soul was headed towards oblivion.

With her great vengeance yet unfulfilled, she did not wish to die now.

Yang Chen signalled the surrounding Xuantian cultivators to withdraw, then looked at Flame Empress’s faint form, puzzled: “Senior Flame Empress, after taking the Soul Stabilizing Pill, your soul should be stable. Why have you become like this?”

A hint of helplessness and anger flashed across Flame Empress’s charming face.

“Lin Yan has already become completely incorrigible! He refined the resentful auras of tens of thousands of cultivators and mortals into Soul Devouring Powder, intending to refine this seat! This seat had to burn her soul to escape!”

“I see!” Yang Chen raised his brows slightly.

This aspect had exceeded his expectations.

Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan, to be so vicious as to even refine your own master! You are quite the character! Not unworthy of being Yang Chen’s adopted son!

“Yang Chen, do you happen to have a Body Forming Pill?”

Flame Empress suddenly asked, her beautiful eyes full of hope.

Currently, only the Body Forming Pill could save her.

As long as she could re-form a physical body, the burning soul essence could be halted. Otherwise, she could only watch helplessly as her soul dissipated, vanishing completely from the world.

“Body Forming Pill?”

Yang Chen pondered, then addressed the system inwardly: “System, can I exchange for a Body Forming Pill?”

[Ding! Host, a Body Forming Pill requires 1500 VPs to exchange. It can allow a soul body to re-coalesce a physical form, but the physical form will be at the initial stage and require cultivation from scratch!]

“Not bad!”

Receiving confirmation from the system, Yang Chen looked back towards Flame Empress and nodded: “This junior has the Body Forming Pill!”

“You have it!?”

Excitement filled Flame Empress’s beautiful eyes.

This brat was truly unfathomable.

Having the Soul Stabilizing Pill,

And even able to produce the Body Forming Pill.

One must know that only pill refiners above the Nascent Soul realm could refine these two pills.

Flame Empress did not dwell on these thoughts, and urgently asked: “Yang Chen, can you give this master the Body Forming Pill?”

Yang Chen gazed at Flame Empress’s bewitching figure and said meaningfully: “Senior Flame Empress, I can give you the Body Forming Pill, but it is exceptionally precious. If this junior gives it to you, what will you offer in exchange?”

“I …”

Flame Empress was stunned, her brows furrowing.

“This master can impart all of my lifelong knowledge to you! Including countless top-tier techniques and secret arts!”

Yang Chen shook his head.

“Senior Flame Empress, my Xuantian Sect has tens of millions of years of inheritance, we lack not a single profound art or scripture!”

“Then what do you want? This seat has only these to offer at the moment!”

Flame Empress grew somewhat anxious.

Currently, she was only a soul body. Apart from the knowledge about techniques in her consciousness, she had nothing.

This brat Yang Chen really knew how to pick his timing.

The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth curved upwards as his gaze swept over Flame Empress’s otherworldly, bewitching figure.

“Senior Flame Empress, I want you!”

“Want … me?”

Flame Empress froze.

Although Yang Chen’s gaze sent chills down her spine, she had no time to quibble over this, and hurriedly nodded: “No problem! This master can remain by your side for a hundred years, guiding your cultivation!”

“No, no, no!”

Yang Chen shook his head: “Senior Flame Empress, you’ve misunderstood this junior’s intentions! This junior does not mean for you to guide my cultivation! Rather, this junior hopes that after Senior Flame Empress re-forms her physical form, you can let this junior have a kiss!”
