Jiang Chen rose to his feet, opened the door, and saw the manager holding a key, about to unlock it.
At the sight of Jiang Chen suddenly appearing, the inn manager's stern expression immediately vanished, replaced by a broad smile.
"Esteemed guest, the waiter heard cries for help just now. Are you all right?"
As he spoke, he glanced inside and saw Ye Lingling sitting by the table with her back to the door.
Jiang Chen smiled. "It's nothing. We had a small disagreement just now. We'll handle it ourselves."
The manager nodded, gave Ye Lingling's back a long, meaningful look, then took his leave.
Jiang Chen closed the door and returned to the table. Ignoring Ye Lingling, who was still lost in fear and confusion, he continued eating and drinking by himself.
Half an hour later, the two left the inn.
"Go back and find Yanyan. She'll arrange something for you to eat and teach you how to cultivate."
"Yes, Master." Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes lingered on Jiang Chen's face for a moment before she turned and left.
Feeling the unprecedented power within her body, she was somewhat delighted.
More importantly, her Martial Soul had gained a new transformation. Her master had named it: Nine Nether Begonia.
And she had also gained the identity of a poison healer.
She was no longer a healing-type Soul Master at the mercy of others. Jiang Chen had granted her a new life.
Every so often, Ye Lingling turned back for another look. Eventually, she disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.
Jiang Chen shook his head and muttered helplessly, "All these female disciples are lusting after their master's body. What am I supposed to do?"
He shrugged and strode away with carefree ease.
