Looking at Chong Ying, who sat by the hospital bed and seemed to hate Wang Yizhi a little less, Zhang Chen felt that perhaps Chong Ying's nature could be changed through small incidents bit by bit. Zhang Chen planned to first save Zhu Huan, whose Soul Stone had shattered, then combine Zhu Huan's medical skills with Jia Xin's knowledge to discuss a solution.
"Chong Ying, how about staying here for now? Old Wu will be confined somewhere in the Underworld for the next several hundred years because of certain matters. Stay here for the next few days, and I'll come see you whenever I can."
"No... I want to stay by your side."
Chong Ying puffed out her cheeks, looking exceptionally stubborn. Because her heart had been corrupted, she paid no attention to Old Wu's confinement. Zhang Chen was the only person in her heart.
"All right, then."
Zhang Chen did not dare let Chong Ying move into Shen Hou Mansion so casually. Chong Ying's emotions were extreme, and even some small matter could cause an emotional fluctuation. This little girl was quite powerful; if she caused trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Keeping Chong Ying by his side was the best choice. Since Chong Ying clung to him, at least she would not do anything wrong.
"Come with me to find Senior Qing Gui. I can ask him about your body while we're there."
"Okay."
Chong Ying tightly wrapped both arms around Zhang Chen's arm. Since she wore only a thin patient's gown, the sensation of her body was transmitted clearly to Zhang Chen's mind.
