"You want to kill him?" the aloof young man said coldly.

Jiang Chen shrugged, "He who kills must be prepared to be killed; if he wants to kill me, then he must be ready to die!"

"He can kill you, but you can't kill him!" the aloof young man dominated the conversation authoritatively.

Jiang Chen smiled coldly, "And who do you think you are?"

"I am Leng'ao Jueluo, since your clan has an Innate Grandmaster, you should have the connections to inquire about the surname Jueluo. Wait for our clan's revenge, and once you learn about my family, you will tremble with fear!" the aloof young man said grimly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng'ao swiftly picked up Zhang Chengkun, turned around, leaped into the car, and sped away.

Yan Hu's gaze turned frosty, and he made a move to stop them.

"Let them go."

Jiang Chen said indifferently, murmuring to himself, "Jueluo Clan, I'd like to see if you have the guts to cause trouble in Jincheng. If you dare to come, I don't mind leaving you here. So what if you have an ancestor? No one can harbor the intention to kill me without paying a price!"

After a pause, Jiang Chen called out softly, "Let's go."

The three of them got into the car and drove towards Jiang Family Courtyard.

Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Chen brought Qingyuan Yingzi and Yan Hu to his loft.

"We're back!" As soon as they entered, a joyful voice rang out, and Gong Lin greeted them with a light laugh.

"You're back so early today?" Jiang Chen looked at Gong Lin in surprise.

Gong Lin gave Jiang Chen a white look, and said irritably, "What? Planning to let me work to death at the company?"

"No, no, no, that's not it at all!" Jiang Chen quickly shook his head and reached out to embrace Gong Lin with a playful smile, "I can't bear that!"

"Stop your nonsense!" Gong Lin slapped Jiang Chen's chest, gently pushing him away, glanced at Qingyuan Yingzi, and asked softly, "And this is...?"

"Madam, I am Mr. Jiang's servant, Qingyuan Yingzi!" Qingyuan Yingzi said respectfully.

"A servant?!" Gong Lin looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen gave Gong Lin a helpless smile, then turned to look at Qingyuan Yingzi, "As I said, I don't need a servant!"

Thump!

Qingyuan Yingzi's expression changed, and she immediately knelt on the ground, panicking, "I beg you, sir, please don't send Yingzi away!"

"I didn't say I was going to send you away! Get up!"

Jiang Chen helplessly shook his head and helped Qingyuan Yingzi to her feet, "Calling yourself a servant is too... just do as Hu Zi does, be my bodyguard!"

"Yes!" Qingyuan Yingzi responded respectfully.

"Come on, let's sit over there. I have some questions for you!" Jiang Chen pointed to the living room sofa and walked over, hand in hand with Gong Lin.

Yan Hu and Qingyuan Yingzi followed respectfully behind them.

Once the four of them were seated, Jiang Chen first explained Qingyuan Yingzi's situation to Gong Lin.

"Poor Yingzi."

After hearing about Qingyuan Yingzi's past, Gong Lin's eyes reddened, tears swirling, and she reached out to hold Qingyuan Yingzi's hand, choking up, "Yingzi, from now on you are my sister. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me, let Jiang Chen deal with those bastards!"

"Thank you, Madam!" Qingyuan Yingzi looked at Gong Lin with gratitude.

Jiang Chen smiled gently, his eyes deep as he watched Qingyuan Yingzi, "Yingzi, seeing how you fought earlier, your background must be no simple matter, right? Why did the Soul Devouring Group attack your family? Can you tell me about it?"

"I..." Qingyuan Yingzi hesitated, and said with some worry, "Sir, will you... will you send me away?"

"Why do you ask?" Jiang Chen looked at Ying Zi with astonishment.

Ying Zi clenched her teeth and reluctantly said, "The one who wants to capture me is… the Eight-Headed Great God!"

"Eight-Headed!?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment, staring at Ying Zi in amazement.

Thud!

Ying Zi once again knelt before Jiang Chen, her face full of pleading as she said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't chase me away. I will honestly stay here and make sure they don't find me at your place. Please don't send me away!"

"Ying Zi, get up first!" Jiang Chen understood and lightly chuckled as he reached out to help Ying Zi up, "Do you think I would be afraid of the Eight-Headed Serpent?"

"The Eight-Headed Great God is a deity in our country, he's… very powerful, very terrifying!"

Ying Zi looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of worry, her expression chaotic as if Jiang Chen was about to abandon her right then and there!

"When I was at the Medical Association's headquarters, didn't you hear what I said? I've slain several Soul Consciousnesses of the Eight-Headed Serpent. Do you think I would be afraid he would come to bother me because of you?" Jiang Chen patiently explained.

Ying Zi was currently in an extremely dire situation.

Although the transformation that took place after the slaying of Gou Sheng Yilang and the other two, the very root of Ying Zi's transformation was Jiang Chen. No matter how cold and strong she may become when facing others, if Jiang Chen abandoned her, she would collapse immediately!

In Ying Zi's heart, Jiang Chen had become her psychological pillar, and in her most desperate times, it was Jiang Chen who showed her light and warmth. This had become something branded deep within her soul, something that could never be erased!

"You… really slew the Soul Clone of the Eight-Headed Great God?"

Ying Zi's eyes revealed a trace of amazement, "You weren't just saying that to scare Gou Sheng Yilang and the others?"

"Scare them? Haha!" Jiang Chen laughed lightly, a smile crossing his face, "I'm not that childish!"

"Really? You're so amazing! I need to work hard. I'm your guard, and I must be able to help you!" The admiration in Ying Zi's eyes turned to determination.

Yan Hu felt a slight sting in his heart and a bitter smile touched his lips as he silently mourned for Ying Zi.

If Ying Zi truly aimed for this, she was in for a tough ride.

Yan Hu knew all too well how painful it was to serve as a guard by Jiang Chen's side.

It wasn't that Jiang Chen treated his guards poorly, on the contrary, he was very good to those around him. However, Jiang Chen's terrifying pace of advancement made all his guards feel like they were left in the dust.

The slightest lapse could mean Jiang Chen had far surpassed them!

That was the greatest pain for these guards.

"Let nature take its course!" Jiang Chen said with a slight smile. He didn't really expect Ying Zi to be able to help him since, with Ying Zi's current strength, it was only slightly better than nothing at all to Jiang Chen!

A shade of disappointment crossed Ying Zi's eyes. She also knew that her current strength was far behind Jiang Chen's and Yan Hu's, but there was a trace of confidence in her eyes. She believed that she would definitely be able to help Jiang Chen!

"Tell me about it!" Jiang Chen asked with curiosity.

Ying Zi nodded and spoke softly, "This matter starts with the origin of our Beihai Nation, back in the day…"

PS: There was no reason for the bonus chapter, it was just a desire to add more.

It's for everyone who has been nudging for so many days, hard work indeed.
