"No!"
"Benefactor, no!"
Chen Changan had just turned to make his move when Old Liu Tou stopped him.
"It's not worth it for us. It's not worth it."
"That man must have powerful backing. He dares act so arrogantly here in World King City, showing no regard for Lord World King. Someone like him is beyond our reach—truly beyond our reach."
"Benefactor, you've already done us an enormous kindness by stepping in to help. How could we let the two of you get dragged into this?"

Chen Changan looked at Old Liu Tou and suddenly furrowed his brow.
"You..."
"You used to cultivate?"
"You've lost all your cultivation, and you don't have much life left. What happened to you?"

"How are you feeling? Any better?"
Just then, thanks to Mu Yunyao's treatment, the little girl slowly opened her eyes. Her complexion had improved considerably.
"Huh, big sister?
