Chapter 1662: Chen Family

Chapter 1662: Chen Family Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The woman smiled and got off the carriage. She walked up to Ye Chen, stared at him curiously and asked, “My name is Chen Ling. Why are you here?”

Chen Ling did not know why, but she felt a force in her body attracting her to this person.

This aura was very familiar, and seemed to be somewhat similar to Gengjin. If she had not sensed this, she would not have approached Ye Chen so openly.

Chen Ling had fallen seriously ill when she was young. Her father had spent everything to use Gengjin metal as a catalyst to prolong her life.

From then on, there was a piece of Gengjin metal in her body.

Therefore, since Ye Chen had refined Gengjin metal as well, Chen Ling unconsciously gained a good impression of him.

Ye Chen raised his head and glanced at her. He wanted to ignore her, but he realized that there was a golden light flashing inside the woman’s body…

It was actually the aura of Gengjin metal!

Could it be that this woman had also refined the blood essence of an ancient demonic beast?

He hesitated for a long time before saying, “My family and I encountered a group of demonic beasts. In the end, I was the only one left and fled here.”

Now that Ye Chen’s aura was restrained, no one could detect his cultivation. Otherwise, Chen Ling’s sister would definitely be alarmed.

“How about this? Come with me to the Chen family’s residence. The Chen family can give you a job. Although your status won’t be high, it will be enough to give you a stable life.”

Chen Ling looked at Ye Chen pitifully. On Skysoul Island, countless small families had been wiped out by demonic beasts.

This was all very normal.

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly in agreement.

He was unfamiliar with Skysoul Island. If he encountered a Dao Integration realm demonic beast in his current state, he would not be able to escape.

There was still some time before the Demon Saint Secret Realm opened, so he was not in a hurry.

A few days was enough for him to recover from his injuries. Furthermore, he wanted to investigate the secret of the Gengjin metal hidden in this woman’s body.

If there was more, then he would try to obtain it by paying whatever was necessary.

“Sorry for the trouble!”

Ye Chen cupped his fists and followed Chen Ling over to the side of the carriage. He found a place at the back of the carriage and sat down.

After the carriage traveled for half a day, Ye Chen saw a city. Although it was not big, it was of a decent size.

During this period of time, Ye Chen gained a rough understanding of the situation. There were not many experts on Skysoul Island.

The ruler of the island was only a first-level Dao Integration realm expert. Incidentally, the Chen family was considered a mid-tier force on Skysoul Island, and their family head was a fifth-level Primordial Chaos realm expert.

Ye Chen followed Chen Ling and the others into the city and arrived at the Chen family’s residence in half an hour.

“Second Miss, Third Miss!”

The two guards standing at the door greeted them softly.

Ye Chen followed them in. At this moment, a woman with heavy makeup came up to Chen Ling and Chen Zhiyin.

When the woman saw Ye Chen, she frowned.

“Second Sister, why did you bring back a good-for-nothing after your trip out? Is this someone you’ve been fooling around with outside?”

The person who spoke was none other than the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Xiaoxiao, who had always been at odds with Chen Ling and Chen Zhiyin.

Chen Zhiyin’s expression changed. She said coldly, “Big Sister, I don’t think you need to worry about who I’m bringing back. Don’t you know that a good dog shouldn’t get in the way?”

The conflict between the two of them had long reached boiling point.

“Hehe, it doesn’t matter who you bring back, but if the Second Young Master of the Long Family finds out that you brought a man back, I wonder what the consequences will be…”

After Chen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.

The Long Family was one of the top families in the city and had a Dao Integration realm expert, and it just so happened that the Second Young Master of the Long Family liked Chen Zhiyin.

Thinking about the Long Family gave Chen Zhiyin a headache, so she did not want to think about it.

The Second Young Master of the Long Family would not be jealous of a servant, right? After all, it would be embarrassing.

Ye Chen did not care. If he wanted to, he could deal with the top force on this island easily.

An early-stage Dao Integration realm expert was no threat to him at all!

“Chen Ling, bring Ye Chen to Steward Zhou and ask him to arrange a place for Ye Chen to stay,” Chen Zhiyin instructed.

“Yes, sister.”

Ye Chen just played along. He nodded and agreed.

Steward Zhou arranged a place for Ye Chen to stay. It was a simple and crude residence, but Ye Chen did not complain too much. His injuries were too severe this time, and ordinary pills were useless.

Only by continuously circulating the Divine Demon Reincarnation Technique would he be able to properly recover.

Hiding in the Chen family’s residence during this period of time was not a bad choice. However, he could not stay here for too long.

…

For the next few days, Ye Chen’s room door was tightly shut.

His understanding of the Divine Demon Reincarnation Technique was getting deeper and deeper, and his injuries were almost healed.

Chen Ling would occasionally visit Ye Chen.

After a while, Ye Chen finally understood why Chen Ling had Gengjin metal in her body.

As a Yang-attribute item, the Gengjin metal was able to suppress the Yin energy in Chen Ling’s body. As such, Ye Chen abandoned the idea of obtaining Gengjin metal from the Chen family.

Once the Gengjin metal was removed from Chen Ling’s body, she would definitely die.

Now that his injuries had recovered, Ye Chen planned to bid farewell to the Chen sisters the next morning.

However, at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

Ye Chen smiled. He knew that the other party had to be Chen Ling.

The door opened. Chen Ling poked her little head out and giggled. “Ye Chen, you’re so boring. What are you doing in your room every day? Don’t you need to cultivate?”

From Chen Ling’s point of view, Ye Chen was not a cultivator, and thus should interact more with others.

Perhaps the Chen family could take care of him for the rest of his life.

Ye Chen smiled and patted Chen Ling’s head. He took out a brocade box. “This is for you. I was just about to say goodbye to you. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.”

“What?” Chen Ling was stunned. Her eyes widened. “You’ve only been here for a few days. You haven’t even recovered from your injuries, yet you’re leaving so soon?”

“What if you encounter another demonic beast?”

Ye Chen had made up his mind. “I have an agreement with my friend. If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid I’ll miss the appointment.”

Chen Ling could sense Ye Chen’s determination. She sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll accept this gift.”

“I don’t know when we’ll meet again, but since you’re leaving tomorrow morning, stay with me for a while tonight.”

“There’s a banquet tonight. Can you accompany me?”

“Alright.” Ye Chen nodded.

“Oh right, you have to be careful at this banquet. There are many big shots around, so pick your words carefully.”

“Rumor has it that the top members of the Long family on the entire island will come.”

“If you provoke others, our Chen family might not be able to protect you.”

“Before you leave, let me show you the world. You might not be able to witness such an occasion in the future,” Chen Ling said seriously.

Ye Chen glanced at Chen Ling and could not help but find it funny.

The world he had seen far surpassed everything she knew about.

However, seeing her solemn gaze, Ye Chen could only smile bitterly and nod. After all, the Long Family was not a threat to him at all.
