"Okay, I understand, sister."
Upon hearing Yu Tianmeng's words, the beautiful woman driving the carriage nodded, then waved her small leather whip, directing the two strong horses to stop the carriage by the roadside.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a faint fragrance, the beautiful figure turned around and got into the carriage.
Zhou Chen followed the gaze and saw that the beautiful figure was a girl wearing a silver dress.
The girl was tall and slender with fair skin and beautiful features. To Zhou Chen's surprise, her appearance was almost identical to Yu Tianmeng's!
Both were equally beautiful, with the same purple eyes and waist-length black hair.
However, unlike Yu Tianmeng's goofy personality, the girl in the silver dress exuded a cold and aloof aura that kept people at a distance, giving off a feeling that she was untouchable and could only be admired from afar.
"Stunned?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen was somewhat lost in thought, Yu Tianmeng chuckled.
"I never expected her to look exactly like you."
Zhou Chen awkwardly forced an explanation.
Upon hearing this far-fetched explanation, Yu Tianmeng said irritably, "She is my twin sister, of course she looks like me."
As she spoke, Yu Tianmeng took her younger sister's hand and introduced her to Zhou Chen: "This is my younger sister, Yu Tianling."
"Hello Tian Ling."
Zhou Chen looked directly at the icy beauty in front of him and smiled.
Hello, brother-in-law.
Yu Tianling nodded expressionlessly, her tone cold and detached, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
"Well..."
Yu Tianling's attitude made Zhou Chen even more embarrassed.
This girl is a complete conversation killer; there's no way to keep the conversation going.
"Tian Ling is rather introverted, so please don't mind."
Just as the atmosphere in the carriage was becoming increasingly awkward, Yu Tianmeng came to the rescue.
"Haha, of course I don't mind."
Zhou Chen laughed heartily, thinking he could ease the awkward atmosphere. However, facing the icy beauty in front of him with her unchanging expression, his laughter only added to the embarrassment.
Seeing this, Yu Tianmeng could only sigh helplessly and said to her younger sister, "Tian Ling, you should continue driving. It would be best if we could stay in Silves City tonight."
"Um."
Yu Tianling gave a simple "hmm," then turned and floated out of the carriage, closing the door behind her.
The next moment, accompanied by the crack of a small leather whip and the neighing of a strong horse, the carriage started moving again.
"How come I never knew you had a younger sister?"
Leaning against the carriage wall, Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, looked at Yu Tianmeng, and asked with some doubt.
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has over 1,800 members. Do you expect me to introduce them all to you one by one?"
Yu Tianmeng glanced at Zhou Chen with amusement, then blinked her amethyst-like eyes and teased, "Besides, Tian Ling is so beautiful, how could I dare to introduce her to a big bad wolf like you?"
"Tian Meng, don't slander me! Your husband has always been a gentleman."
Zhou Chen straightened his expression and said in a serious tone.
"Alright, alright, Zhou Junzi, it was I who was slandering you, okay?"
Yu Tianmeng shrugged dismissively and said.
She knew Zhou Chen than anyone. He could be accurately described in eight words:
I have an ailment: I am lustful.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation and the fact that she had no one she could trust, she would never have allowed her sister to meet Zhou Chen.
This is like throwing a lamb to the slaughter, delivering Xiao Bai right to the big bad wolf!
Seeing the distrust in Yu Tianmeng's eyes, Zhou Chen wanted to argue but couldn't find the words to refute, so he changed the subject, asking, "Tian Meng, how have you been these past few days?"
"How else can we manage? My sister and I have been so worried about you!"
Yu Tianmeng rolled her eyes, then began to recount in detail what had happened in the past seven days.
It turned out that ever since that night, after Zhou Chen fought the Sea God's clone, Yu Tianmeng had carried the unconscious Zhou Chen and secretly entered a city about fifty miles away from the battlefield.
This city is the capital of the Barak Kingdom, Barak City.
In the south of Barak City, there is a settlement of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and the person in charge of this settlement is none other than her own younger sister Yu Tianling.
Yu Tianmeng may not trust others, but she still trusts her own sister, who shares the same mother.
She wanted her younger sister to accompany her to escort Zhou Chen back to Heaven Dou City.
So she went to find Yu Tianling that very night, explained the situation, and Yu Tianling, true to his word, agreed. The two sisters got an inconspicuous carriage and drove back towards Heaven Dou City.
For the past seven days, because Yu Tianmeng had to take care of the comatose Zhou Chen, all the miscellaneous tasks piled up on Yu Tianling.
Yu Tianling diligently drove the carriage, and at night she was responsible for setting up camp, starting a fire, and cooking, just like a little maid.
No wonder she didn't give Zhou Chen a friendly look.
As Yu Tianmeng recounted her story, Zhou Chen's gaze softened further. Indeed, having a few like-minded, intelligent, and prudent girlfriends by your side was incredibly important.
If it weren't for Yu Tianmeng, Zhou Chen would probably have fainted in the wild, and there's a 99% chance he'd be carried off by wolves.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tian Meng."
Zhou Chen grasped Yu Tianmeng's slightly cold, delicate hand, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"Tch, stop it. Don't try to be sentimental in front of me."
Yu Tianmeng stubbornly turned her head away, but the tears welling up in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately pulled Yu Tianmeng gently into his arms. The two snuggled together, not speaking for Jiujiu, just feeling each other's breath and pulse, feeling each other's heartbeat.
After a long while, Yu Tianmeng suddenly raised her pretty head and looked at Zhou Chen, saying, "You shattered three Soul Rings that day, greatly diminishing your strength. Is there any way to recover?"
After a pause, Yu Tianmeng said with some worry, "There are only three of us now. I'm just a Soul Saint, and Tian Ling isn't even level 50 yet. If you can't recover your strength quickly, the journey back to Heaven Dou City will probably still be very dangerous. After all, you've made too many enemies. Whether it's the Holy Spirit Church or other forces, countless people want to kill you."
"Rest assured."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Don't you know I have a pay-to-win System? Restoring my strength is simple, just spend money!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chen closed his eyes and silently chanted, "System, help me restore my Soul Ring! And remember, keep it quiet and discreet, understand?"
"Ding... Received, processing."
"Ding... One hundred million Gold Yuan Points deducted. Initiating the recovery of the Fifth Soul Ring."
"Ding... Ten million Gold Yuan Points deducted..."
"Ding... One million Gold Yuan Points deducted. Initiating the restoration of the third Soul Ring!"
In an instant, three brilliant golden Soul Ring appeared out of thin air and precisely fitted onto Zhou Chen.
