Chapter 2336 - 2337: Fang Qianqian

Chapter 2336: Chapter 2337: Fang Qianqian

At this time, it was still early, just past noon. Lin Chen was in the midst of cultivation. After a brief practice, he walked outside the house.

Although cultivation is important, occasional relaxation is not a bad thing.

As for Tang Ming, perhaps influenced by Lin Chen earlier or because his injuries had not fully healed, he stayed inside to cultivate.

"I wonder how much of the healing herbs that Sect Master Liu mentioned is enough?"

Lin Chen walked to the courtyard. He sat at a stone table, pondering in silence.

He didn’t understand pharmacology, so naturally, he didn’t know how much of the medicine Liu Qinghan mentioned was needed to completely heal Chen Jie’s injuries.

"Forget it, I’ll look for a few more days and then go back. I wonder how they’re doing."

Lin Chen sighed lightly, deeply concerned about the well-being of Chen Jie and Sun Tianming, not knowing when Pan Su and his apprentice would return.

Thinking of this made Lin Chen feel a bit overwhelmed.

Beside him, Little White certainly didn’t know what Lin Chen was thinking. Under the sunlight, it lazily yawned.

Now, following behind Lin Chen, it had seen quite a few people and wasn’t as resistant to humans.

Suddenly, Little White’s ears twitched slightly. With a gentle move of its ears, it seemed to hear something, then ran towards one side.

"Hmm? What’s wrong, Little White?"

Lin Chen, lost in thought, heard Little White’s movements and was quite puzzled. This was the first time he had seen Little White react like this.

After calling out without a response, Lin Chen had no choice but to stand up and follow behind Little White, tracing its path in the direction it ran.

Passing through a courtyard, he reached a more inner part of the Fang family estate.

Whatever Little White heard, it quickly dashed inside, seemingly in a hurry. After a corner, Little White disappeared there, deepening Lin Chen’s confusion.

"Oh, what a cute puppy."

Afterward, Lin Chen heard a clear and cold voice, laced with joy.

Hearing this voice, Lin Chen paused, then walked around the corner of the courtyard. He saw a woman in a long dress embracing Little White, gently stroking its soft fur.

This scene made Lin Chen pause. Besides him, Little White was extremely difficult to become so close to anyone. Even with Chen Jie, it kept a certain distance, but now Little White was acting so affectionately, naturally causing confusion.

He didn’t understand why Little White had such a significant change, or why this woman in front of him possessed such magic power.

"Who are you?!"

While Lin Chen was puzzled, suddenly a burly man shouted grimly, raising a single blade. Under the sun’s reflection, the blade emitted a cold, sharp light.

Lin Chen furrowed his brows, feeling the burly man who arrived here was slightly familiar.

After a bit of thought, he suddenly realized that this man was clearly someone he had encountered before on the mountain path. Now, the man’s whole body exuded murderous intent, his sinister face reflecting a few hints of coldness as he watched Lin Chen coldly, like a cold and venomous snake.

"Don’t be rude."

The woman in the long dress suddenly spoke, her words carrying a seemingly commanding tone. After she spoke, the man took a step back but still kept a cold eye fixed on Lin Chen.

"You must be the guest my father mentioned earlier."

The woman came forward, gently stroking Little White’s fur, smiling slightly as she inquired.

"So you are the daughter of Clan Leader Fang?"

Lin Chen was stunned. Hearing the woman in front of him speak, he realized her identity, yet he hadn’t heard of her before.

"My name is Fang Qianqian. I must thank you for saving my father’s life."

The woman bowed slightly and at the same time revealed her identity.

"Miss Fang, you’re too kind. It was merely that I also had a grudge against those people and lent a hand out of convenience."

Lin Chen said such, honestly stating his old grievances with the Demon Sect without thinking to hide them.

"Either way, my father owes his life to you, and you naturally deserve our gratitude."

Fang Qianqian smiled faintly, her small cherry-like lips forming a beautiful arc. Her clear eyes looked at Lin Chen, and he felt a breeze of morning wind brush past him.

Lin Chen stood slightly bewildered. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen beautiful women. On the contrary, he had seen many, but Fang Qianqian was somehow different.

Her looks weren’t city-toppling, but the lightness of her smile seeped into Lin Chen’s heart, possessing a kind of magic.

This was very strange. Lin Chen suddenly felt as if something in his heart was thrashing about, beating vigorously.

With a soft growl, it seemed Little White, seeing Lin Chen in a daze, wanted to wake him up, it suddenly let out a cry, then leapt from Fang Qianqian’s embrace to Lin Chen’s shoulder.

Lin Chen was quickly awakened, lightly coughing and lowering his head slightly to cover his embarrassment.

"Is this your dog? It’s really cute."

Seeing Little White hop onto Lin Chen’s shoulder, Fang Qianqian asked, her slender hand reaching forward, past Lin Chen’s slightly lowered head, to stroke Little White’s fur there.

Lin Chen slightly raised his head, catching the view of Fang Qianqian’s lotus-like arm, noticing a mark imprinted there.

The imprint was blood-red and very peculiar, carving out a blurred shape, but perhaps due to the carefree carving, it all clumped together, making it hard to discern the pattern.

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised. It didn’t seem like a birthmark nor a tattoo, yet he didn’t know why it appeared.

"Isn’t it strange? I find it strange too. One day, it just turned out like this. Although it can’t be removed, thankfully it doesn’t harm me, aside from being unsightly, there’s nothing else to it."

Fang Qianqian smiled bitterly, openly revealing the mark on her arm, and explained as Lin Chen was puzzled.

She also didn’t understand why there was such a large mark on her arm.

"Can’t it be removed?" Lin Chen asked.

"No."

Fang Qianqian shook her head. If it could be removed, she wouldn’t have struggled so long in vain. Moreover, the most frightening thing is, once there’s any sign of removal, the imprint releases extreme heat! It’s very terrifying.
