"B-Boss!"
At this moment, nearby, chubby Zhang Yanxin lay on the ground, his whole body trembling, his face pale, blood streaming from his seven orifices.
The pressure from Lu Chen and Chen Shengping's battle just now had been far too immense.
And Zhang Yanxin had been standing relatively close, so he had been sent flying by the aftershocks, suffering severe injuries.
Watching Lu Chen practically annihilate an Emperor Realm powerhouse in seconds, Zhang Yanxin was completely dumbfounded.
No, aren't we all just little brats? How did you become this freakishly powerful?
"You're injured again. Here, eat a Rejuvenation Pill."
Lu Chen came over to the fat man's side and helplessly shook his head.
He had yet to eat the healing pills Azure Emperor had rewarded him with, but he had already stuffed two into Zhang Yanxin's mouth.
"Boss, this assassination really has nothing to do with me. I honestly just wanted to bring you here to catch fish."
Zhang Yanxin spoke in a trembling voice, a smile uglier than crying appearing on his face.
"I know. Don't panic. I'm not blaming you!"
Lu Chen forcibly shoved the Rejuvenation Pill into Zhang Yanxin's mouth.
Lu Chen looked around and discovered that he was currently beside Green Water River. Green Water River flowed from north to south, passing through the western outskirts of the imperial capital.
Fortunately, this place was deserted.
Otherwise, just from the battle between him and Chen Shengping, if there had been any ordinary people with weak cultivation here, they would probably all have collapsed to the ground vomiting blood.
This was what they meant by immortals fighting and mortals suffering.
One had to know that Lu Chen had not used all his strength in the battle just now.
First, the Land Immortal Realm had been forcibly raised, and he lacked the necessary experience and training. His combat experience was insufficient, and he could not control his strength properly.
Therefore, Lu Chen had used only half his strength and had nearly killed Chen Shengping in an instant.
When he came to Chen Shengping's side, Lu Chen saw the Spatial Ring on Chen Shengping's finger, and a trace of delight appeared on his face.
He reached out and removed the Spatial Ring, then forcibly broke its master recognition through brute force. When Lu Chen swept his divine sense over Chen Shengping's Spatial Ring, he curled his lips.
A dignified Emperor Realm powerhouse, yet he was so poor. His Spatial Ring was only a hundred square meters in size, and he had merely a few tens of thousands of spirit crystals. He did not even have a Dragon Crystal.
Most importantly, as for cultivation techniques and weapons, there was only one Heaven Rank item—the Heaven Rank low-grade Yin Yang Profound Origin Shield. Everything else was trash.
Lu Chen shook his head. Wasn't killing and robbing supposed to be a path to wealth?
This wasn't enough.
"Have you recovered? Once you have, we'll catch fish."
Lu Chen then glanced at the chubby man and spoke.
"Ah? Something this huge happened, and we're still catching fish?"
Zhang Yanxin stared wide-eyed as he spoke.
"How huge was it? No matter how huge it was, it can't stop me from catching fish."
Lu Chen grabbed Chen Shengping's corpse and threw it into Green Water River.
At once, crimson blood spread in all directions along the river.
Then, countless large fish were drawn by the blood and swam over from every direction.
"I'll give it to him—the corpse makes a pretty good chum."
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face as he watched this scene.
"Boss, Boss, look! There's a Little Fox over here. It looks injured!"
Just then, Zhang Yanxin's delighted voice came from not far away.
Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head.
"It was probably injured by the aftershocks of the battle just now."
"But Boss, this fox is so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful fox before. And I suspect it's some kind of Spirit Beast or demon beast."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen let out a surprised hum and turned his head. He walked toward Zhang Yanxin and saw a silver-white fox the size of a puppy lying on the ground.
Its fur radiated a faint silver glow beneath the sunlight. Most importantly, in the depths of the Little Fox's heart was a mysterious red rune.
Ying, ying, ying...
The silver-white Little Fox had originally been lying on the ground, whimpering in pain. But when it saw Lu Chen approaching, it forcibly raised its head and looked at him seductively with a pair of fox eyes, revealing an aggrieved and pained expression.
"..."
"You little fox, I suppose this is partly my fault. I'll treat your injuries."
Lu Chen suddenly realized that he seemed unable to withstand the Little Fox's pitiful, aggrieved gaze.
It really is kind of adorable.
Most importantly, the Little Fox was truly beautiful.
Everyone was a sucker for beauty, and Lu Chen was no exception.
He squatted down, took out a Rejuvenation Pill, and fed it to the Little Fox.
The Little Fox was quite clever. It swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill in one bite, and its injuries recovered rapidly. Before long, it had completely healed.
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and reached out to stroke the Little Fox's large tail.
Ying, ying, ying...
The moment Lu Chen touched the Little Fox's tail, it immediately began to cry out, ying ying ying. Even the fur on its body turned red.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was stunned, then laughed.
"You really have become a spirit, Little Fox. You even know how to be shy."
He shook his head and stopped bothering with the fox. Lu Chen brought Zhang Yanxin to catch fish in the river.
With Lu Chen's Land Immortal Realm cultivation, catching fish was as easy as reaching out and grabbing one.
As a result, Lu Chen unexpectedly discovered that whenever he caught one fish, the Little Fox ate one over there.
Lu Chen caught more than a dozen fish one after another, and the Little Fox actually ate every single one.
"You little fox. Your body is so small, yet you can eat so many fish."
Lu Chen spoke in disbelief.
Ying, ying, ying...
The Little Fox lay prostrate on the ground. Hearing Lu Chen's words, it merely cried out, ying ying ying.
When you were young, you once saved a Little Silver Fox. This fox was now a renowned Demon Emperor, and her true identity was the saintess of some terrifying sacred land of the Demon Race.
Initiating Reversal Mission: This Demon Emperor was proud and aloof, invincible beneath the heavens, and capable of charming all living beings, yet she showed no courtesy to anyone. You must forcibly hold the current Demon Emperor in your arms and stroke her, proving to the world: Who says the Demon Emperor who charms all beneath the heavens cannot be touched?
Mission Reward: Special treasure—the Demon God Contemplation Diagram!
However, at that very moment, a Semi-transparent Panel appeared before Lu Chen's eyes once more. Then, words began appearing across the panel one after another.
When Lu Chen saw the contents of those words, he froze completely.
Then, Lu Chen subconsciously looked at the Little Fox lying prostrate on the ground.
"No way..."
Lu Chen muttered blankly to himself.
This Little Fox would become a renowned Demon Emperor several decades later, and she was even the saintess of some sacred land of the Demon Race?
Lu Chen scratched his head.
This system has to be fake.
How is everyone around me more incredible than the last?
Luo Li is a transmigrator.
Zhang Yanxin would become a future Land Immortal Realm powerhouse.
And now I've saved a Little Fox who would actually become a future empress.
Does it really have to be this absurd?
Still, this Reversal Mission seemed ridiculously easy.
Lu Chen looked at the Little Fox on the ground, an evil expression appearing on his childish face.
This special treasure, the Demon God Contemplation Diagram—I was absolutely taking it.
