Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2328: Chapter 2329: Words Over Drinks

For someone like him to go to a place like a brothel, that is indeed a difficult task.

”Hmph.”

Perhaps Jiang Ningyan understood Tang Ming’s temperament.

”Brother Lin, it’s getting late, if you don’t mind, why not go straight to our home, it would be good to prepare some dishes to repay Brother Lin for saving my life.”

Jiang Ningyan slightly bowed as she spoke.

”No, I’ll find a place to stay first and visit tomorrow.”

Lin Chen shook his head. It was late, and it was clearly inappropriate for Lin Chen to visit the Jiang family now, so he refused.

”Alright then.”

Jiang Ningyan paused for a moment before speaking again. She never forced others, and after Lin Chen’s refusal, she didn’t intend to persuade him further.

”Then I’ll head back first. It’s just as well I can have them prepare the return soul grass. Let Tang Ming accompany Brother Lin for a walk.” Jiang Ningyan smiled softly.

”Thank you.” Lin Chen said, his purpose for coming was also for the return soul grass, but he needed to recover his vitality, otherwise he didn’t wish to stay here even for a moment.

”No need, Brother Lin is too kind.”

Jiang Ningyan still smiled, then she looked at Tang Ming, her smile gradually fading as she moved close to his ear and whispered, ”Don’t go to the brothel!”

After saying this, Jiang Ningyan gave Tang Ming a fierce glare and walked towards the center of the distant town.

”Ahem.”

Tang Ming coughed lightly, his face slightly reddening, perhaps due to Jiang Ningyan’s words or perhaps because of Lin Chen’s smile facing him at that moment.

”So nice.”

A moment later, Lin Chen retracted his gaze, seemingly reminiscing about something, he sighed softly, uttering two words.

”What’s nice?”

Tang Ming, who was just in an awkward situation, was puzzled by Lin Chen’s seemingly disconnected comment. He was briefly stunned, then raised his head to ask Lin Chen in surprise.

”Nothing.”

Lin Chen returned to his original expression, not wanting to say much, as if he had lost interest in the curiosity before him, he sighed and walked forward.

”Brother Lin, aren’t you going to walk around more?” Tang Ming followed closely behind. He was quite puzzled by Lin Chen’s change in attitude.

”No.”

Lin Chen shook his head and said slowly, ”No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it lacks color without someone close to enjoy it with.”

He suddenly felt homesick.

More precisely, he thought of his previous wives. How were they now?

Thinking this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel incredibly troubled. It had only been a few months, but he felt time was dragging, and his cultivation was progressing slowly.

”Brother Lin, are you thinking of someone close to your heart?”

At this moment, the two were sitting in a tavern, and after taking a sip of water wine, Tang Ming asked.

”Hmm.” Lin Chen responded indifferently, also gulping down a large mouthful of the strong wine, causing a burning sensation in his throat.

”By tomorrow, once those return soul grasses are handed to Brother Lin, you can naturally save that girl when you go back. Don’t worry too much.”

Tang Ming didn’t know Lin Chen’s situation, he presumed the person on Lin Chen’s mind was the one he was desperately seeking medicine for, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

”Perhaps.”

Lin Chen did not want to explain, he just kept drinking the coarse wine as if the liquid could wash away the bitterness in his heart.

Seeing him silent, Tang Ming likewise picked up a wine jug and drank profusely.

It was unclear after how many jugs, tears seemed to glisten in Tang Ming’s eyes, and some soft murmurs were revealed amidst his sobbing.

”You may see me getting along well with Ningyan now, but I know we are from two different worlds. To overcome these heavy obstacles, how difficult it is, even though that competitor is no longer a threat, who knows if her father will betroth her to someone else in the future!”

Tang Ming guzzled the water wine, heavily burdened with thought.

Lin Chen raised his head at the sound, seeing a man nearing thirty, yet at this moment he was as sorrowful as a child, with even some teardrops sliding from his eyes.

He understood this feeling well, obviously mutually fond of each other, yet unable to cross the vast reality gap. This was undoubtedly saddening.

And Tang Ming was in exactly that situation, especially when Jiang Ningyan’s father still considered using her as a pawn to maximize family interests, this helplessness became even more evident.

”It’s really unfair, why can others gain so much without effort, yet no matter how hard I try, I can’t touch those things, even in cultivation, I can’t suddenly reach the next realm...”

As more wine was consumed, Tang Ming’s voice sounded even more helpless. Although he was stubborn, it didn’t mean he was ignorant or unaware.

He had kept these thoughts hidden in his heart, and now, seeing Lin Chen’s circumstance, he suddenly thought of himself. With the stimulus of the wine, he couldn’t help but feel deeply sorrowful and uncomfortable.

The original Lin Chen was merely sentimentally moved. Though he felt heavy-hearted, he wasn’t overcome with grief. Though drinking wine, it hadn’t caused him to lose control of his emotions.

So seeing Tang Ming like this now, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He hadn’t expected this big man before him to have such a side, with such a soft heart.

”Everything will get better, don’t worry too much.”

Lin Chen sighed lightly, sat down beside Tang Ming, softly patting his back, not knowing how to comfort him, for in such matters, outsiders can’t help; everything depends on oneself.

...

Time passed unknowingly, until the tavern was about to close, urging them several times, finally, Tang Ming slowly fell asleep.

Lin Chen, helpless, took out a few spirit stones from his ring to give to the storekeeper, who then finally shut his mouth and no longer came over to disturb them.

Looking at the table covered in debris, and at Tang Ming who, whether from fatigue or excess drink, lay asleep on one side, helpless eyes.

Every family has its own problems, no matter when or where, as long as there are desires in people’s hearts, life is destined to be difficult and carefree.

”You’re still better.”

Lin Chen stroked the soft fur of the little white creature also eating, a faint smile appearing.

Then he sat cross-legged, beginning his meditation right where he was.

The night was still young, Lin Chen didn’t want to waste time, he needed to seize the time to cultivate. Though a hundred years was still long, if he could break through the shackles of cultivation sooner and ascend to the divine realm, he could see his wives sooner.

This was his driving force, and his hope.

”Wait for me.” Lin Chen murmured.
