Liu Sheng’s expression changed drastically. Lin Ying had left him in charge of handing over the manor.
He had thought it would go smoothly, but an unexpected complication arose: Lin Yuan and Lev had returned.
At this moment, he stared at the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf before him. It radiated the aura of a Martial King First Heaven, and its terrifying might bore down on him, creating immense pressure.
"A Martial King First Heaven..."
His pupils contracted violently.
GULP...
At the same time, he swallowed nervously.
Just moments ago, he had been incredibly arrogant, looking down on Jiang Chen and the others.
It was true that, in his eyes, Jiang Chen and the others’ Cultivation was not worth mentioning.
But the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf was a being with a Martial King’s Cultivation.
Although his Martial Master Ninth Heaven level made him an expert, he was nothing compared to a Martial King Expert.
Moreover, this Purple-Haired Demon Wolf before him might only be at the Martial King First Heaven, but in reality, it wouldn’t necessarily be defeated easily even if it faced a human expert at the Martial King Second Layer Heaven.
Jiang Chen smiled indifferently.
"Weren’t you talking big just now?"
He couldn’t even be bothered to act himself, simply having the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf make a move.
Liu Sheng naturally had no chance of escape.
Swallowing again, Liu Sheng took a few steps back.
’I have no hope of escaping from the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf. It’s just wishful thinking.’ He instantly understood his predicament.
He hurriedly said, "Young Master Jiang, we can talk this out."
He could tell that among the group, Jiang Chen seemed to be the most inscrutable one.
Concluding that Jiang Chen was the one in charge, he quickly tried to soften his tone.
He was hoping to save his own life.
Forget about selling the manor; he would be lucky just to get out of here alive.
Lin Yuan had returned. This was the Lin Family Manor to begin with, so he had no right to sell it.
All he could do was escape and tell Lin Ying what had happened here.
"Heh, I don’t like to talk things out."
"Speak. Where did your Mr. Lin go?"
"If you tell me honestly, I might grant you the mercy of a complete corpse."
Jiang Chen folded his arms, staring at Liu Sheng with a blank expression.
This made Liu Sheng feel even more pressure. He panicked when he saw the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, which looked eager to pounce.
He immediately blurted out, "Young Master Jiang, Mr. Lin... he went to the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb, the Boluo Tomb."
"I’m telling the truth! He wants to get the Lin Family’s secret manuals, so he set out overnight."
"I’ve told you now. Can you spare my life?"
But Lev suddenly spoke up.
"Young Master Jiang, you can’t spare him! As soon as this man leaves, he’ll definitely find Lin Ying. He’s guaranteed to cause trouble for us then."
Liu Sheng was so furious he secretly gritted his teeth, cursing Lev.
However, trying to save himself, he pleaded, "I’m just a steward..."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
Like the Death God issuing a final judgment.
"Kill him."
At a time like this, he certainly wouldn’t let any of Lin Ying’s men go.
Lin Ying had tortured Lin Yuan and the others, and these men had lent him a hand.
"AWOOOO..."
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf let out a roar.
Its body lunged forward.
Its speed was unimaginable.
PFFT!
There was a dull thud, followed by a blood-curdling scream.
Then, everything fell silent.
Liu Sheng lay on the ground, devoid of all life.
Seeing Liu Sheng dead, Lev finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Young Master Jiang."
Now, Lev was filled with respect for Jiang Chen.
Not only had Jiang Chen saved him and Lin Yuan several times, but his strength alone was far beyond their comparison.
Afterward, Jiang Chen and the others tidied up the manor.
Even the gate to the West Wing Courtyard, which Jiang Chen and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf had smashed the previous night, had already been repaired. It was clear Lin Ying had genuinely wanted to sell the manor for a good price.
Too bad for him; it had all been for the benefit of Jiang Chen and his group.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you should all live here in our Lin Family Manor from now on."
Lin Yuan said with hopeful eyes, very much wanting Jiang Chen and his group to stay at the manor.
Lev also said, "Yes, the manor is so large anyway. It will still be spacious even with more people living here."
"And you won’t have to waste money on lodging."
"Besides, our Young Master would be very reluctant to see you go."
Lev had his own reasons for strongly urging Jiang Chen and the others to move in.
With an expert like Jiang Chen at the Lin Family Manor, they would have some security.
He and Lin Yuan would be much safer.
Of course, there was no malicious intent.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen thought about it and nodded.
"Alright, we won’t be polite then."
"We’ll stay here in your Lin Family Manor for the time being."
Once the decision was made, Jiang Chen and the others moved into the East Wing Courtyard.
There were many rooms here, and each of them picked one to their satisfaction.
Just like that, their lodging was settled.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then prepared to begin Alchemy.
He needed to improve his Alchemy Skill. With the Black Fire, improving his Alchemy Skill would be a natural and easy process.
Moreover, by refining a Third-Grade Elixir, he could also completely heal the Black Fire Crow.
The Black Fire Crow was definitely a terrifyingly powerful expert.
’That’s the plan,’ he thought.
However, they had barely been there for half a day when afternoon rolled around.
"Is Young Master Jiang Chen here?"
Lev, who was sweeping the courtyard, froze for a moment when he saw a beautiful woman dressed in white walk in.
He sized up the woman. She was slender and tall, with a beauty like that of a celestial fairy.
Her aura was extraordinary. He quickly asked, "Miss, Young Master Jiang Chen is here, but he might be in Cultivation. May I ask what business you have with him?"
He guessed that she knew Jiang Chen.
He was just surprised that Jiang Chen, who had only just arrived in Gambling City, already knew such a beautiful young woman.
The woman nodded. "I do have business with him."
"Sir, could I trouble you to inform him that Murong is here to see him?"
She was very polite and did not directly barge into the manor.
Seeing that the woman was eager to see Jiang Chen, Lev said, "Please wait a moment. I’ll inform Young Master Jiang Chen right away."
He immediately dropped what he was doing and hurried to the East Wing Courtyard to find Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had been preparing to enter a deep, closed-door cultivation session.
He wanted to achieve a complete breakthrough in his Alchemy Skill and become a Third-Grade Alchemist.
But he had been interrupted.
He was quite displeased.
But when he heard the words "Murong is here to see him," he gave a wry smile.
’Looks like she’s come looking for me herself.’
Of course he had to see her.
They had left the hotel arranged by the Treasure Elephant Pavilion without even having time to say goodbye.
But he was very surprised that Murong Xiangming had come to find him in person.
Soon, Jiang Chen appeared at the manor’s main gate.
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up as he looked at the lively and stunning beauty before him.
The visitor was, very clearly, Murong Xiangming.
An old acquaintance of Jiang Chen’s.
Murong Xiangming was dressed in a snow-white long dress. Her already beautiful face was now radiant and captivating.
Her curvaceous figure, her slender waist that one could encircle with a single grasp, was enough to eclipse the moon and shame the flowers.
Her snow-white skin seemed to glow with a faint luster.
It was obvious Murong Xiangming had dressed up specially for the occasion.
"Miss Murong, we meet again."
"Please, come in."
Jiang Chen quickly put on a smile for Murong Xiangming.
As the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, her coming to see him in person was already giving him more than enough face.
