The woman frowned, her eyes filled with doubt.
Will I still have some connection with him in the future?
Why?
Does he know me?
That shouldn't be the case. I don't even know him, how could he know me?
The woman was about to ask a question, but Su Chen had already focused his gaze on the Jiaolong. Seeing this, she had no choice but to put her question aside and ask it later when she had the chance.
The Jiaolong, seeing Su Chen looking at it, was nearly scared out of its wits, its eyes filled with boundless terror. "Big... big boss, spare me! Spare me!"
At this moment, the Jiaolong was terrified, fearing that Su Chen would kill it at any moment.
Su Chen gazed at the Jiaolong, lost in thought.
He was thinking about how to get rid of it.
Is it braised?
Or should it be steamed?
If the Jiaolong knew what Su Chen was thinking, it would probably be terrified.
That's terrifying!
Who's the kind person who eats Jiaolong meat?
Su Chen then looked at the woman beside him, "You can keep this guy."
The woman was taken aback, then asked, puzzled, "Leave it for me?"
Su Chen said, "Aren't you currently facing a bottleneck in your cultivation level? Use it as a stepping stone to help you break through to the Immortal Sovereign."
Upon hearing this, the Jiaolong in the distance showed a hint of resentment, but when it thought that it could avoid death, it wasn't so bad to become the woman's stepping stone.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "This... this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Su Chen said calmly, "I bet Jiaolong meat isn't very tasty, so rather than killing it, I'd rather use it as a stepping stone for you."
Holy crap!
The Jiaolong was dumbfounded!
So, the big boss was silent for a moment because he was wondering if Jiaolong meat would taste good.
At that moment, the Jiaolong tensed up, looked at the woman, and said earnestly, "Miss, I am very willing to be your stepping stone! Please give me a chance."
Despite its calm exterior, it's actually panicking inside.
Aren't you panicking yet?
If the woman doesn't need it as a stepping stone, then it truly has no value and can only watch helplessly as Su Chen obliterates her!
So how could it not panic?
The woman pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
To be honest, she hadn't expected Su Chen to consider her.
He wouldn't have feelings for me, would he?
Otherwise, why would they treat me so well?
If that's the case, should I agree or disagree?
No, no!
We can't agree to that!
I made a promise to my master.
The woman seemed to realize something and quickly shook her head.
Su Chen looked at the woman and raised an eyebrow slightly.
What's wrong with this guy?
Drunk?
But she didn't drink any alcohol.
Su Chen shook his head, ignoring the woman, and looked at the Jiaolong, saying calmly, "You must have heard our conversation very clearly, right?"
The Jiaolong nodded hastily, afraid of being a step too slow, "I understand, I'm willing!"
Buzz!
As soon as it finished speaking, a sword light instantly merged into its brow. The Jiaolong's expression changed drastically, thinking it was doomed, but after a moment, it found that it was unharmed.
This puzzled it for a moment, but then it understood what was going on. It sighed softly, feeling helpless.
Sigh~
Why would I specifically want to find this woman?
Can't you just let her go?
Now look what's happened, your life is no longer in your own hands, is it?
Fortunately, he survived.
After all, being controlled is better than being killed, right?
Having thought this through, the Jiaolong felt relieved.
At that moment, the terrifying pressure that had been pressing down on it vanished without a trace, as if blown away by the wind.
Its body suddenly felt lighter, as if a huge burden had been lifted, its tense nerves relaxed, its breathing became smooth, and the feeling of death in its heart disappeared.
The Jiaolong breathed a sigh of relief, and then with a thought, a dazzling light burst forth from its body. A moment later, it had transformed from its original Jiaolong form into human form.
Behind the human form was an old man dressed in a gray robe; clearly, this Jiaolong was very old.
Without hesitation, the old man rushed to Su Chen's side, bowed respectfully, and said, "Big Boss!"
He then looked at the woman, "Miss!"
Su Chen suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The old man replied, " Jiao Zhe."
Su Chen nodded slightly, said nothing more, and looked at the woman.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "I cannot take him back to the academy."
Su Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Jiao Zhe, "I won't restrict your freedom. You can continue to live here from now on, but if she comes looking for you, you must agree to fight her."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Zhe's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Good, good, good!"
He had thought he would lose his freedom in the future, but he never expected Su Chen to make such a condition. He would definitely agree to it without hesitation!
Refusing would be foolish!
Su Chen looked at the woman, "How is it?"
The woman nodded and said, "Okay."
Su Chen nodded slightly, then glanced at the sky and realized it was already daytime. "I'm going to the academy now, want to come along?"
The woman immediately nodded and said, "Good! I need to go back and ask her why she betrayed me."
Su Chen nodded without saying anything more, put his hands behind his back, and turned to walk towards the academy.
Without hesitation, the woman followed.
Seeing the two about to leave, Jiao Zhe clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and said, "Respectfully seeing off the esteemed elder and this young lady!"
He didn't dare to stand up straight until Su Chen and the other person had completely left.
The next moment.
He collapsed to the ground, and if you looked closely, you could see that his palms and forehead were covered in sweat, and even his robes were soaked with cold sweat.
Jiao Zhe gasped for breath, "Damn, that was terrifying! Thank goodness I survived."
He felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of what had just happened.
One word to suppress him!
He had never seen such a terrifying person!
Because he is not qualified to meet an existence like the Immortal Emperor.
So this was his first time meeting the Immortal Emperor.
And the Immortal Emperor was indeed as terrifying as the rumors he had heard!
Even the Immortal Sovereign was like an ant before him!
Who exactly is this big shot?
How come I've never even heard of his fame?
Jiao Zhe looked puzzled, but then shook his head. "Why should I think about these things?"
On the way, the woman suddenly asked, "Tell the truth, how old are you?"
Su Chen glanced at the woman and smiled calmly, "Guess."
The woman said helplessly, "Fine, I won't tell you then."
Su Chen said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I tell you."
Upon hearing this, the woman cautiously asked, "You... you wouldn't happen to be an ancient monster who has lived for millions of years, would you?"
Su Chen's face darkened, and he turned his head away, ignoring the woman.
The woman smiled. "Oh, I was just kidding. By the way, we've known each other for so long, but I still don't know your name. What's yours?"
Su Chen said calmly, " Su Chen."
" Su Chen?"
The woman frowned and fell into deep thought.
Su Chen smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
The woman snapped out of her reverie and said, "I feel like I've heard that name before, but then again, I don't think I've ever heard it before."
Su Chen smiled. "So you've never heard of it."
The woman nodded and said, "I think so, since I don't remember you at all."
Su Chen said, "I've already given my name, what about yours?"
The woman blinked. "Me? My name is Youyue."
