The woman was called Tang Juan. She wasnât biologically related to Yin Shuang, but she called the latter sister because they were close.
According to her, Yin Shuang had been separated from her team since she had entered the small world. She had been alone until they met.
The team who they had asked a favor from was strong. The leader, Cao Lin, was ranked forty-third on List A of the Dragon Rise List.
He was more powerful than Han Siming and Zhang Yu. No wonder Tang Juan was so anxious.
Jiang Chen and Tang Juan flew to the center of the Martial Imperial City. There was a grand mansion, with palaces inside the walls.
By then, the place was fully occupied by Cao Linâs team. Yin Shuang was in a pavilion in the garden.
Under Tang Juanâs guidance, Jiang Chen landed in the garden. They were surrounded by a group of people when they were about to walk to the pavilion.
âMiss Tang Juan, Miss Yin Shuang is in the key phase of a breakthrough. Why are you bringing this man here?â the man leading the group said. Jiang Chen found this team didnât have any female members.
He was wondering whether Yin Shuang had noticed this when she had asked for a favor.
âItâs exactly because of this that I asked for this apprentice brotherâs help,â said Tang Juan.
Those standing opposite him kept staring at him unkindly. Their hostility was blatant.
âMiss Tang Juan, donât you trust us? Why did you ask for our help first, then ask for this guyâs help? Thatâs not so nice,â the same guy said.
Jiang Chen was sure he wasnât Cao Lin, since his strength didnât match up. He had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.
âThe chaos in the Martial Imperial City was beyond our expectation. We required help from more people.â Tang Juan turned pale. She wasnât a match for anyone from the group. She found it difficult to even speak in front of them.
âNow, make way.â
Jiang Chen looked towards the pavilion not far away. The windows on the second floor were all closed. Even his holy awareness couldnât enter, so he didnât want to waste time speaking to these people anymore.
âPeh! Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?â
âA Cloud Six. Youâre still wet behind the ears.â
âYou know our leaderâs rank on the Dragon Rise List?â
These people didnât make way. Instead, they lined up and came up to Jiang Chen, arrogantly and aggressively.
âMeng Lin, why are you doing this? Are you trying to keep Sister Yin Shuang away from us?â
Tang Juan had anticipated that they would stop her, but she hadnât expected them to be so aggressive. They werenât afraid of falling out with her at all.
âHey, why are you in such a hurry? Miss Yin Shuang will come out soon.â
More people opposite them burst out in weird laughter.
âGet away!â
Jiang Chen had almost confirmed his assumptions. Making a stern face, he strode over.
âHow impressive,â one of them said in a strange voice and bumped against him, but as soon as he approached Jiang Chen, his whole body felt numb, and he started to twitch.
Covered in electricity, Jiang Chen dashed forward without stopping.
âDamn it. Donât let him sabotage our leaderâs plan!â
âStop him!â
The others didnât give up. They attacked him at the same time, dashing towards him from all directions.
âAh!â Tang Juan screamed in fear. She had called Jiang Chen over to rescue Miss Yin Shuang, not to fight against this team.
The average state of the team wasnât lower than Jiang Chenâs. In addition, they were all exerting killing movements.
Not knowing what to do, Tang Juan stood there, at a loss.
âScum, go to hell.â
Jiang Chen crossed his arms before him, grasping his sword with one hand and his knife with the other.
He drew them out and brandished them. Their radiances were like two slivers of the moon.
Those who had approached him realized right away that they were courting death. With screams, half of them were either dead or injured.
âSo powerful!â
Tang Juan was surprised. Under Jiang Chenâs sword and knife, no matter what state these people were in, none of them could survive. Only those standing far away enough survived.
When she looked up, she found Jiang Chen was at the pavilion.
On the second floor of the pavilion was a round room, deteriorating severely as time passed, but it was still possible to tell the decoration there had once been tasteful.
The center of the room was very clean. A rectangular mattress was there, and beside it was a censor.
âMiss Yin Shuang is really different, not losing any taste, even in treasure seeking.â
A man with regular features was leaning against the door. His face was clean-cut. Only his eyes were a bit small.
He was looking at the woman sitting on the mattress unscrupulously.
Yin Shuangâs hair was messy. She was sitting there weakly. Although she was in danger, she didnât lose her calm.
âYou donât even want to wait until Iâve broken through,â said Yin Shuang.
âWhat can I do? Your friend is too nosy. She overhears us everywhere,â said Cao Lin.
âYouâre shameless.â
He looked so righteous. Yin Shuang really had no other word to describe him.
Then her hands, with which she had propped herself up from the mattress, lost power, and she plopped down on the mattress on her back.
At the same time, she was breathing faster and faster. Her face turned very red.
âIâll protect my virginity, even if I die. You wonât get a good result from this,â Yin Shuang said coldly.
âNo, you wonât. The pill youâve taken is a mind-blower. After we sleep together, youâll never forget about me.â
Thinking it was time, Cao Lin walked over.
Hearing his footsteps, Yin Shuang was very anxious, but she was too weak to do anything.
The mere thought of the thing Cao Lin was going to do to her made her want to die.
Cao Lin squatted down beside her and reached for her breasts.
Yin Shuang closed her eyes tightly and gnashed her teeth.
Bang! The door was forced open. It was such a surprise for Cao Lin that he hurried to retract his hand and jump to the window.
He was actually afraid of being found out. He thought a strong man had come to her rescue. After all, Yin Shuang was from an important family.
However, he was struck dumb when he saw Jiang Chen. He retracted his hand from the window.
âFortunately.â
Jiang Chen was relieved when he saw Yin Shuang was fine. Then his look became extremely sharp.
Cao Linâs behavior was what he hated most.
âJiang Chen?â Yin Shuang turned her head with effort, unable to believe what she had seen.
âAre you by yourself?â Cao Lin was trying to figure out whether there were more people behind Jiang Chen.
âThatâs enough to kill you.â
âHehe.â
Cao Lin went back to the center of the room. Sizing Jiang Chen up, he said, âYou want to rescue the beauty, donât you? Jiang Chen? I think I heard your name before. It was you who was chased thousands of miles by Greenghost? You survived. What a miracle.â
âYour information needs an update.â Jiang Chen felt lucky that Cao Lin didnât know he had defeated Zhang Yu. He was more than happy to see his rivals look down on him.
Cao Lin didnât pay attention to what he had said. He said instead, âIt must not have been easy for you to stay alive. You should cherish your life. Iâm not any weaker than Greenghost.â
âYeah?â
They had a gap of ten-odd places. How dare he say he wasnât weaker than Greenghost.
Cao Lin thought Jiang Chen believed him, so he said, âThereâs a woman called Tang Juan outside. Sheâs pretty, too. I can give her to you, as long as you know what to do.â
âWhat? Youâre afraid of being found out?â Jiang Chen scorned.
âI wonât repeat what I said. Donât lose your chance to live!â
