“Mu Yingying, I have a divine fire here. You should know that you were there. The richest man, Mo, bought it and then insisted on giving it to me. I didn’t want to accept it at first, but I couldn’t resist his enthusiasm. It just so happened that you were here. You’re lucky. I’ll give it to you.”
Luo Chen raised his right hand and opened his palm, revealing a divine fire pearl in his hand.
"Giving it to her like this should be easier for her to accept. After all, they're both worth 500 billion. They say they're good brothers, but it's just about mutual benefit; the favor still needs to be repaid."
Mu Yingying was filled with emotion. Along the way, Luo Chen had always appeared to help her when she needed it most. Now, he had even asked the richest man, Mo, for help with the divine fire, incurring such a huge debt of gratitude, all because of her…
"Luo Chen, thank you, but this thing is too precious. You should keep it for yourself. Even without the divine fire, my cultivation will not fall behind."
Mu Yingying said softly, "I really don't deserve it."
Luo Chen didn't say much, but instead squinted and leaned closer to her, while Mu Yingying, feeling guilty, could only glance at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Mu Yingying, do you really want me to solve your problems for the rest of your life? Wishful thinking! Let me tell you, you don't have to take this divine fire today, but even if you die in the future, I will never save you again. You think you can keep me by your side? No way! You dare to dream like that. You were an empress in your past life, yet you want to live off a woman forever!"
Thinking of this, Luo Chen became furious. He glared at the Divine Fire Pearl in his hand and was about to smash it.
"Wait a minute! Luo Chen, how dare you talk to me like that? Who wants to live off you? Just you wait, one day I will surpass you, and then you'd better not be crying and begging to live off me!"
Mu Yingying snatched the Divine Fire Pearl, grunted, walked to the side, sat cross-legged on a rock, and began to refine the Divine Fire.
A moment later.
Haha, the Empress's arrogant personality is truly unique, and she's so easy to fool!
Upon hearing this heartfelt sentiment, Mu Yingying's anger immediately subsided. She had been too agitated and hadn't reacted properly. Oh well, she already owed so much; one more wouldn't make a difference. At worst...
To the side, Luo Chen sat on the stone ground, waiting quietly. When he got bored, he would go out and find a few small demon beasts to spar with. The loser would become roast meat and be eaten by the other party. The small demon beasts were very cooperative and agreed with his idea, so much so that there were more and more demon beast bones on the mountain wall.
One month later.
Luo Chen returned from hunting only to find that Mu Yingying was gone...
!!
Where is Mu Yingying?
His heart suddenly stopped beating for a moment, and a bad feeling arose within him.
"No, the system didn't give any warning, which means she's not in any immediate danger. But why did she leave without saying goodbye?"
Luo Chen searched everywhere but found no clues left by Mu Yingying. He frowned involuntarily: "Given her current attitude towards me, it's impossible for her to just disappear without a word. It means she might have been kidnapped, and that person didn't seem to want to kill her. Who could have kidnapped Mu Yingying?"
He paced anxiously back and forth, sometimes with his hands behind his back, sometimes squatting on the ground searching for any possible clues.
? ? ?
Suddenly, Luo Chen accidentally pressed a plain, yellowish-brown stone.
"Luo Chen, I have been investigating you for a long time and have finally found an opportunity. If you want to save your fiancée, come to Rain City in the north of the valley."
A row of illegible black characters appeared before him, making Luo Chen even more puzzled: "Who is this? I don't know anyone whose handwriting is this bad..."
