Chapter 2561 - 2562: Xiao Ying Returns

Chapter 2561: Chapter 2562: Xiao Ying Returns

"Once, I had a very good relationship with the Nangong family, but later the Nangong family offended me due to some matters. If it weren’t for Nangong Shuifuxing, I’m afraid the Nangong family would have already met a tragic end."

The ancient god’s words made several strong individuals on the side secretly suck in a cold breath. How arrogant and overbearing?

You must know the Nangong family is quite famous across the Tianyuan continent, but whether they can continue to exist depends on the ancient god’s mood.

This is enough to prove just how frightening the ancient god’s powers truly are.

Over at Xiao Ying’s place.

Xiao Ying was alone in her room, and although her facial expression seemed quite calm, her heart was torn, extremely sad and distressed.

She hadn’t seen Lin Chen for a long time.

Xiao Ying used to call him brother, with both referring to each other as siblings. To her, he was just an ordinary presence, merely a friend.

But as time went on, she gradually realized her feelings for Lin Chen had become increasingly complicated, growing less ordinary.

Whenever she saw him, she would become too nervous, causing her heart to race. Being able to be alone with him was the happiest thing in Xiao Ying’s heart.

It’s just a pity that she hasn’t seen him for a long time now.

After Xiao Ying was brought here, she discovered she had contracted a strange illness called Puppeteer Disease.

And when she was controlled by the illness, she even hurt Lin Chen, which tore her heart apart with guilt, never imagining she would harm someone she loved so dearly.

Additionally, that mysterious old man told her she was the legendary Sacred Maiden, and if she agreed to their terms, she would enjoy endless wealth and privilege.

But there was one condition.

If she truly wanted to become the legendary Sacred Maiden, she must choose to remain single for life, not being with anyone.

Admittedly, the prestige of the legendary position was undeniably tempting, but she ultimately chose to refuse because the reason was simple.

She couldn’t let go of Lin Chen.

Just then, a few maids suddenly walked in, carrying delicious dishes and placing them on the table.

"Have you heard? Recently, a particularly terrifying murderer appeared in the Nangong family." one girl said, placing a dish on the table, looking at the other maid.

The other maid looked somewhat surprised, having never heard of this matter, so she looked at her good sister.

"When did this happen? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"Don’t you know? It’s said this person is truly brutal. After killing someone, he cuts off their head and then pulls out their intestines." While saying this, he also appeared extremely nervous, looking at the maid beside him.

"No way, so brutal?"

Xiao Ying, in the past, would have certainly ignored such matters, not bothering to investigate, but driven by curiosity now, she chose to listen carefully.

"I was also quite surprised at the time. It’s said that this person’s name is Lin Chen."

The name Lin Chen quickly reached her ears. She suddenly sat up from her chair, then came in front of the two maids, looking extremely excited.

"What did you just say? What was that person’s name?"

Xiao Ying looked at one of the maids in front of her and then reached out to tightly grab the maid’s collar, making the maid look somewhat curious.

Xiao Ying had been taken to this place for a long time, but she had never been so emotional, making the two feel puzzled.

"Miss, what’s going on with you?"

Xiao Ying now appeared extremely anxious, hoping they would tell her the truth about this matter, not wanting to hear the maids babble.

"Quickly tell me what happened, hurry up, don’t waste time talking nonsense."

"We don’t know which Lin Chen that is."

After hearing these words, Xiao Ying could no longer stay in the room, so she swiftly went to the hall not far ahead and saw the elder really standing there.

It was this elder in front who brought her to this place.

"Quickly tell me, is Lin Chen here?"

Xiao Ying loudly asked the old man, who hearing this, placed his smoking pipe on the table and then slowly stood up.

One could see the elder appearing quite curious because he thought Xiao Ying couldn’t possibly know this news since he kept the clues hidden well.

"How did you know?" the elder asked surprisingly.

"Quickly tell me, is he in the Nangong family?"

Knowing now there was no possibility of continuing to hide, the elder realized she knew exactly where Lin Chen was.

"That’s right, he is indeed in the Nangong family now." After saying this, the elder sighed deeply, with an unprecedented tone of helplessness.

"Is he captured and to be executed tomorrow?" Every time Xiao Ying spoke, her expression grew hysterical, increasingly terrifying and hideous.

The latter silently nodded.

Since he could no longer hide from her, he chose to reveal the truth of the whole matter to Xiao Ying. She had the right to know this.

"Please take me to rescue him, okay?" Xiao Ying pleaded loudly to the old man in front of her, something she hadn’t done since she was seized.

"This is beyond my control."

Though their Azure Dragon gang held influence in the Tianyuan continent, it wasn’t their matter to interfere.

Xiao Ying knew her abilities were insufficient to confront the Nangong family alone, leaving her reliant on the old man.

If he didn’t agree, then brother Lin Chen would surely die.

"If you promise to rescue him, I am willing to become your Sacred Maiden." Xiao Ying suddenly spoke.

The elder’s complexion changed drastically at this moment. He quickly turned around, looking at Xiao Ying standing not far ahead, appearing exceptionally agitated.

"Did you mean it? Are you truly willing to become our Sacred Maiden?"

Now, for Lin Chen, regardless of how costly the price, Xiao Ying was willing to agree.

Indeed, as long as she could rescue Lin Chen, let alone becoming their Sacred Maiden, she was willing to do whatever they asked, even at the cost of her life.

"No problem, I now agree to your request. I will pack up now and go to the Nangong family to demand him."
