Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2446: Chapter 2447: Gao Shan

A warmth surged in Xiaoying’s heart; this sudden strength was undoubtedly the warmth bestowed upon her by Lin Chen.

This inevitably made Xiaoying feel slightly moved.

Thus, she climbed upward with greater force; she did not want Lin Chen to bring her up directly.

Because this was Pan Yan’s last wish, Xiaoying did not want to be taken up by Lin Chen just like that. For the first time in her life, she wanted to rely on her own strength to accomplish something.

At this moment, Xiaoying had been climbing for quite some time, already past the halfway point. Even with Lin Chen’s care, Xiaoying, after all, was a petite woman who had never exercised before, making this a particularly arduous task for her.

Fortunately, despite her fragile frame, Xiaoying possessed a remarkable resilience, a determination some men lacked.

She gritted her teeth, relying solely on the Spiritual Energy that Lin Chen did not excessively pass on to her, to climb this mountain peak, a testament to her tenacity.

...

As time went on, when the sky began to brighten, Xiaoying finally ascended to the peak.

As she reached the summit, Xiaoying collapsed onto the ground. This instant collapse caused her limbs to feel weak; she hadn’t felt much during the climb, but now... she felt utterly exhausted, unable to summon any strength.

She lay on the ground, panting heavily.

This mountain peak was incredibly high; without Lin Chen’s assistance, Xiaoying’s attempt to climb would have been extremely difficult.

Originally, based on her thoughts, had she relied solely on her strength, she feared she wouldn’t make it halfway before running out of breath.

Even with the power inherited from Pan Yan, Xiaoying could not easily call upon it, highlighting her own weakness.

The journey was indeed tiring, but gazing from the summit, Xiaoying felt a rush of achievement, a sensation she had never experienced before.

It was as if she had conquered the mountain, standing beneath her feet, offering a sense of fulfillment Xiaoying had never felt.

Despite Lin Chen’s help, Xiaoying’s own effort couldn’t be disregarded.

”Thank you, Brother Lin.”

After roughly several breaths, Xiaoying’s breathing gradually stabilized.

She raised her hand, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and thanked Lin Chen sincerely.

”No need for thanks, to be honest, my life was saved by you all.”

Lin Chen shook his head and responded.

He was a person deeply attached to his emotions and could never forget the help given by Xiaoying and Pan Yan. Xiaoying’s actions made Lin Chen feel a bit uncomfortable.

It’s hard to imagine, in merely a few days, Xiaoying underwent such transformation.

As Lin Chen spoke, Xiaoying’s gaze dimmed slightly, her face showing a hint of loneliness perhaps due to Lin Chen’s words.

Perhaps it was because she remembered Pan Yan, leading to such sorrow.

”The sunrise is near.”

Lin Chen sensed Xiaoying’s oddness, quickly changing the subject, not wanting her to dwell in pain, he pointed toward the horizon where a round blush broke the layer of Hei An, rising slowly from the distant horizon.

Standing on the peak at this moment was perfect timing to watch the sunrise. The sunlight illuminating the world slowly revealed its grandeur, drawing the attention of both Lin Chen and Xiaoying.

Xiaoying seemed to be influenced by the brightness, her sadness gradually dissipating with the sight.

This was a scene Xiaoying had never seen; the gentle sunrise slowly ascended. At this moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, Xiaoying quickly reached into her pocket, retrieving a purse along with slightly wilted flower buds.

These were things Xiaoying prepared earlier.

Then, Xiaoying began digging a hole beneath her.

Despite some faint Spiritual Energy assisting her, Xiaoying, being merely flesh and blood, quickly saw her hands stained as she touched the stones on the ground.

Lin Chen witnessed this, feeling a bit unwilling; he crouched down beside Xiaoying, intending to lend her a hand.

Yet, Xiaoying shook her head, refusing Lin Chen’s help, leaving Lin Chen to abandon his plan.

He could only accompany Xiaoying beside her, unwilling to watch yet respecting her wishes, unable to interfere further.

On the summit alone, Xiaoying and Lin Chen crouched; Xiaoying wasn’t really crouching but rather continuously using her tender hands to dig the ground. After some unspecified time, she managed to dig a hole in the hard ground.

This was possible due to the high altitude, making the ground softer, otherwise, relying on Xiaoying’s strength to dig a hole would have ruined her hands.

At least now, she only suffered minor surface injuries.

Nonetheless, Lin Chen felt a pang of heartache seeing this, turning away not to look excessively.

Xiaoying was stubborn; despite Lin Chen’s worry he couldn’t persuade her otherwise, though thankfully Xiaoying stopped upon finishing her dig.

The hole was several feet deep, about the width of two arms, Xiaoying’s utmost capability.

At this moment, Xiaoying’s hands were entirely bloodied, a crimson hue covering her original skin tone, painting her lotus-root-like arms brutally.

However, Xiaoying didn’t seem to care; after completing the task, she didn’t stop but placed the purse into the hole.

The placement was delicate, as if it held incomparable significance.

Lin Chen was silent; seeing Xiaoying’s actions, he knew this object likely held immense ties to Pan Yan, otherwise Xiaoying wouldn’t act in such a manner.
