Just as rumors swirled throughout the martial arts world, Jiang Chen, carrying Zhong Ling on his back, used the "Unfettered Ascent to Immortality Step" to descend from Sword Lake Palace and head towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Vows.
Following Zhong Ling's guidance, Jiang Chen arrived at a secluded valley.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Vows!
At the entrance of the valley, a wooden sign hung.
“Those surnamed Duan, upon entering this valley, shall be killed without mercy!”
Carrying the unconscious Zhong Ling on his back, Jiang Chen entered the valley. Inside, green waters and lush mountains, birds chirping and flowers blooming, it was truly a paradise on earth.
“Who dares to trespass into the Valley of Ten Thousand Vows?”
At this moment, a woman in pink silk robes blocked their path.
The woman in pink had a pretty face, bearing a striking resemblance to Zhong Ling, about seven points alike.
“Such a handsome young man!”
Seeing Jiang Chen's face, the woman in pink secretly marveled in her heart.
Jiang Chen had a tall and upright figure, a handsome face, well-defined features. Compared to her husband, Zhong Wanchou, there was a clear difference, like heaven and earth.
Even the Duan Lang of those days was far inferior!
“Ling'er? What happened to her?”
However, when the woman in pink saw the unconscious Zhong Ling on Jiang Chen's back, her expression changed.
“You must be Mrs. Zhong. Ling'er was poisoned by Si Kong Xuan of the Divine Farmer Gang. I brought her back to you specifically to find an antidote. But Madam, don't worry, I've suppressed the poison in Ling'er's body with my true Qi. She's out of immediate danger for now.” Jiang Chen said.
If not for the need to come up with an excuse to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Vows, Jiang Chen would have already cured Zhong Ling of the poison.
As he spoke, Jiang Chen's gaze swept over Gan Bao Bao.
Gan Bao Bao's actual age should be around thirty-four or five, but she looked twenty-five or six, more like Zhong Ling's older sister. No wonder she was known as the "Pretty Poison Fork"!
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Gan Bao Bao grabbed Zhong Ling's hand and took her pulse before finally relaxing.
Just as Jiang Chen said, the poison in Zhong Ling's body had been suppressed, and the toxicity wasn't strong. Creating an antidote wouldn't be too difficult.
“Thank you, young master. May I ask your name?” Gan Bao Bao said.
Seeing Jiang Chen's handsome face, for some unknown reason, a ripple stirred in Gan Bao Bao's heart.
“My name is Jiang Chen!”
Jiang Chen's fiery gaze fixed directly on Gan Bao Bao, making her flustered and her heart thumping wildly.
“Young master, please come with me.”
Gan Bao Bao quickly led the way, but in her fluster, her foot slipped, and she fell forward.
“Madam, be careful!”
Carrying Zhong Ling, Jiang Chen reached out, catching Gan Bao Bao's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace. His big hand, by chance, landed on a place it shouldn't have and unconsciously squeezed it.
This guy, so rude!
Gan Bao Bao silently scolded in her heart, but she didn't feel annoyed in the least. Instead, she felt a strange sense of surprise.
Feeling the warmth from Jiang Chen's big hand and smelling the strong masculine scent emanating from him, Gan Bao Bao felt weak and limp, unable to stand for a while.
And Jiang Chen didn't intend to let go at all. Instead, his big hand became even more restless.
“Young master, please let go,” Gan Bao Bao said.
“Madam, it was a moment of panic earlier, I apologize for any impropriety.”
Hearing Gan Bao Bao's words, Jiang Chen reluctantly released his hand.
Gan Bao Bao glared at Jiang Chen and continued to lead the way.
It didn't take long for Gan Bao Bao to bring Jiang Chen to Zhong Ling's room.
Jiang Chen laid Zhong Ling down on the bed, and at this time, Zhong Ling also woke up groggily.
“Mother…” Zhong Ling weakly said upon seeing Gan Bao Bao.
“I've told you before, you're a girl, and you’re always running around outside. You'll get into trouble sooner or later! Have you learned your lesson now?” Gan Bao Bao scolded.
However, Gan Bao Bao's tone was very gentle, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhong Ling was quite doting!
“Mother, it was thanks to Brother Jiang Chen that I was saved this time! The villains from the Wuliang Sword Sect, the Divine Farmer Gang, and the Lingjiu Palace were all killed by Brother Jiang Chen. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have seen you again.” Zhong Ling said.
“You killed people from Lingjiu Palace?”
Upon hearing this, Gan Bao Bao's pretty face changed slightly.
The Wuliang Sword Sect and the Divine Farmer Gang were alright, but Lingjiu Palace was a very domineering sect. Killing people from Lingjiu Palace would definitely bring about revenge.
“Yes, those envoys from Lingjiu Palace were no match for Brother Jiang Chen.” Zhong Ling said.
“You’ve caused a great deal of trouble!”
Gan Bao Bao said: “You killed Lingjiu Palace’s envoys. Lingjiu Palace will definitely not let this go!”
“Madam, don’t worry. I plan to visit the Heavenly Mountain Child Empress in the Lingjiu Palace on Mystical Peak sometime in the future.” Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
“Such arrogance!”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, a look of disdain flashed across Gan Bao Bao's pretty face, and she silently said in her heart.
In the entire martial arts world, no sect dared to provoke the Lingjiu Palace on Mystical Peak!
The Heavenly Mountain Child Empress of Lingjiu Palace on Mystical Peak was a Heaven-Human realm martial artist!
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, “Madam, let's hurry and cure Ling'er of the poison.”
“Please stay here and take care of Ling'er. I’ll go to the pharmacy to prepare an antidote for her,” Gan Bao Bao said.
“Please rest assured, Madam, I will take good care of Ling'er,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
