Chen Qingling Is Being Followed? Attempted Rape? Soul Saint One-Minute Experience Card! Her First Kill!

Meanwhile.

Core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, Thatched Cottage.

"Check-In!"

Ding! Check-In successful! Obtained one thousand Points!

Chen Shenge was utterly bewildered, a question mark popping up in his mind.

No!

This... this wasn't right, was it?!

Why were Points the reward for this Check-In?

"System, what are Points?"

Ding! Points can be exchanged for any item in the shop!

Friendly reminder: Aside from special days, Check-In rewards are always Points!

Special days referred to months, seasons, and years! This was the bond between the host and the system!

After pondering for a moment, Chen Shenge knew what the system was up to.

He seriously suspected that the system had no idea what to give him, so it had hastily added this Points mechanic.

Then, whenever Chen Qingling, the one being nurtured, needed something, it could use Points to exchange for it and send it to his daughter.

Fine, fine, fine!

So this was how it wanted to play?

Its little scheme had practically smacked him in the face.

"System, show me my daughter's status panel."

Immediately, a virtual panel appeared before Chen Shenge's eyes.

Name: Chen Qingling

Martial Soul: Light Goddess Butterfly

Realm: Level 13 Soul Master

Soul Skill: First Soul Skill Light Butterfly Blade

Age: 12

Physical Condition: Healthy

The panel information was utterly ordinary.

"I wonder how my daughter is doing now."

The status panel vanished, replaced by the Sky Screen.

Chen Shenge watched with his own eyes as his daughter parted ways with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and set out on her own journey.

"As expected of my daughter. She's got ambition!"

At the same time, he realized that his daughter truly wanted to find the mother she had been separated from for years.

"Sigh, Qingling's mother, how could you be so heartless? You abandoned the two of us without a care! Even if you secretly came to see your daughter, that would have been enough!"

Qingling was such a wonderful child, yet she had grown up without her mother by her side.

Over the years, Chen Shenge had also developed a resentment toward the woman he had never met.

If Qingling truly found her mother and brought her back, he would definitely demand an explanation. Why had she done this? Why had she abandoned the father and daughter?

Did she dare to act but not take responsibility?!

Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Chen Qingling walked alone through the bustling streets, her gaze sweeping blankly over her surroundings.

The endless sea of people stretched as far as the eye could see, and she suddenly felt completely out of place here.

Not knowing where to go, she was like a headless fly.

Chen Qingling could not help but feel like backing out.

"No, I worked so hard to get out here. I can't fail at even this little bit of hardship."

"Qingling, cheer up. You can do this!" Chen Qingling muttered to herself, encouraging herself.

Next, she watched all sorts of passersby on the streets, hoping to find someone who resembled her even slightly.

She had no idea how long she searched before Chen Qingling finally realized just how difficult it was to find her mother by herself.

At the same time, with her method, she probably would not find her even if she searched for a lifetime.

"Sigh..."

The sky gradually darkened, and Chen Qingling planned to find an inn for the night.

As she walked, she realized that she seemed to be being followed.

No matter where she went, three tails followed closely behind her.

Chen Qingling could not help but quicken her pace, and the three people pursuing her relentlessly quickened theirs as well.

She really was being followed by bad people!

Chen Qingling's heart skipped a beat. She had run into the bad people Father had warned her about!

What should she do?!

What was she supposed to do?!

Chen Qingling knew her strength was limited. She definitely could not defeat the three people following her.

She had only just left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she had already encountered danger?

Chen Qingling was unwilling to accept that.

Before she knew it, she had walked into a dead end, and the three people who had been following her stopped pretending.

"Run! Why aren't you running now?"

"Heh heh heh! Little girl, don't be afraid of us. We uncles only came over because you looked so lonely, cold, and helpless all by yourself."

"Little girl, stop resisting. Why don't you come play with us?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Chen Qingling gritted her pearly teeth and glared fiercely at the three men blocking her way.

She had never expected to encounter thugs attempting to rape her in broad daylight.

"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"

The three men looked at each other and burst into laughter. "No, little girl, what are you talking about? Divine retribution?"

"We've done this plenty of times, and we've never suffered divine retribution!"

"Boss, why waste words on her? This time, it's my turn to go first!"

"Heh heh heh, this little girl is so pretty. She must be so sweet!"

"I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Seeing that the Obscene Trio was completely unafraid, Chen Qingling could only invoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name.

"Someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? I'm sooo scared!"

"Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't save you today! Once we're done, we'll run away. What can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do to us?"

Hearing the Obscene Trio's words, Chen Qingling panicked terribly and prayed for Father to help her.

Ding! Detected that the nurtured target, Chen Qingling, is in danger. Would you like to spend one thousand Points to exchange for a Soul Saint One-Minute Experience Card?

"What?!"

"My daughter just left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she's already in danger?"

"Exchange it!"

Chen Shenge cried out in alarm and exchanged for it without having time to think.

As one of the lewd men stepped closer and closer, Chen Qingling prepared to fight to the death.

At the critical moment, she felt her pocket bulge. Her eyes lit up, and a charming smile curled across her lips.

"Oh? Little girl, you can still smile?"

"Hmph, Father won't just stand by and let you bully me!"

With a soft snort, Chen Qingling pulled an inexplicable card from her pocket.

The card turned into a streak of light and entered Chen Qingling's body. At once, her realm rose level after level, only stopping when she reached Soul Saint.

Feeling the inexhaustible Soul Power surging within her, Chen Qingling knew that Father would always protect her from the shadows.

The sudden change terrified the Obscene Trio.

"B-Boss... what's going on?"

"The aura around this little girl is terrifying... Her realm seems higher than ours!"

"Bullshit! We followed her the whole way. She's only a Level 13 Soul Master. She must be faking it!"

"Get her!"

With their boss's reassuring words, the lackeys finally dared to step forward again.

Chen Qingling did not know how to use the Soul Power inside her, so she could only release it.

Terrifying Soul Power burst forth, intimidating the Obscene Trio.

"Th-This... is a Soul Saint?"

"How is that possible?!"

Seeing that things had gone wrong, the leader of the Obscene Trio turned and ran. As for his two lackeys, they could fend for themselves!

"Boss! Don't leave us behind!"

The two lackeys screamed in terror, scrambling and crawling as they tried to flee.

Having recovered her senses, Chen Qingling would not let the two of them escape.

Light Butterfly Blade!

Two blades of light shot out, piercing straight through the two men before they could run away.

Bang!

The two men collapsed into pools of blood, unconscious.

Seeing the two men dead in their blood, Chen Qingling's face went deathly pale.

She stared at her hands in disbelief, terror filling her eyes. "I... I killed someone..."

This was Chen Qingling's first time killing someone. The fact that she had not vomited was already impressive.
