Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1185 - 1182: Spiritual Spring Town

At the foot of Spiritual Spring Mountain, there is a town called Spiritual Spring Town!

On this early morning, a young man and woman arrived in the town.

The young man had a face like jade, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, though his expression was cold, almost as if "Strangers Keep Out" was written on his face.

The young woman was in her prime, dressed in a pure white dress, her figure perfect, standing tall and graceful, like an orchid in a secluded valley, to be admired from afar but not to be taken lightly.

Who else could this pair be but Li Chen and Ji Lingling?

Under normal circumstances, their appearance would undoubtedly cause quite a stir.

However, today was an exception!

Everyone was talking about the events on Spiritual Spring Mountain.

"Have you heard? The Spiritual Spring Sect was annihilated in a single night?"

"Ah, impossible. The Spiritual Spring Sect has reigned supreme across ten thousand miles for a thousand years. How could it be wiped out overnight?"

"My cousin is a disciple of the Spiritual Spring Sect. He said it himself; how could it be false?"

"Could it be that the Spiritual Spring Sect offended an immortal from the Holy Sect and brought about this catastrophe?"

Originally, the Holy Sect simply referred to the Greedy Wolf Hall, but with the growing power of the other Eight Great Purple Gold Sects, it gradually came to collectively refer to the nine major Purple Gold Sects.

...

Upon hearing these discussions, along with several mysterious and conspiratorial theories, Ji Lingling felt an inexplicable excitement.

As someone involved, she naturally knew who was behind the overnight destruction of the entire Spiritual Spring Sect.

Moreover, if traced to the root, the downfall of the Spiritual Spring Sect was due to her.

Thinking of the Spiritual Spring Sect, a thousand-year-old dominator with a vast domain, being destroyed overnight because of her, Ji Lingling found it unbelievable, as if in a dream.

No, even in a dream, such an extraordinary experience wouldn’t occur.

At this thought, Ji Lingling looked at Li Chen with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

As the one who annihilated the Spiritual Spring Sect, Li Chen felt no emotion.

For others, the fall of the Spiritual Spring Sect was momentous.

But for him, Li Chen, it was like crushing an ant effortlessly.

Would one boast about casually crushing an ant?

Seeing Ji Lingling looking at him, Li Chen pointed ahead and said, "There’s an inn there. Let’s go in and have something to eat!"

Ji Lingling nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.

"What would you like to eat, distinguished guests?"

The waiter promptly greeted them as soon as he saw customers entering.

"Just your signature dishes will do!"

Li Chen answered and then found a window seat to sit down.

Ji Lingling did not sit but stood respectfully beside Li Chen like a maid.

Li Chen glanced at her, pointed to the seat in front of him, and said, "Sit down!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling gently nodded and sat opposite him.

Li Chen took a sip of his drink and casually asked, "Where do you plan to go in the future?"

Ji Lingling’s heart tightened at this unexpected question from Li Chen.

Immediately, she moved forward, knelt before Li Chen, her eyes brimming with tears, and choked up, saying:

"I have no home to return to; I only wish to stay by your side and serve you. I hope you will allow it and not send me away!"

Ji Lingling, already gracefully beautiful, attracted much attention with this kneeling.

Even Li Chen, usually calm, felt somewhat embarrassed in this situation.

"Ling’er, what are you doing? Stand up!"

However, Ji Lingling, usually obedient to Li Chen, was unusually stubborn this time.

"If you don’t agree, I will keep kneeling here and won’t get up!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Li Chen sighed lightly.

"Alright, if that’s the case, you can follow me!"

Hearing Li Chen’s agreement, Ji Lingling’s eyes lit up joyfully, repeatedly asking, "Are you serious? You’re not deceiving me, right?"

Li Chen glanced at her and casually said, "Get up; why would I bother to deceive you?"

This time, Ji Lingling stood obediently. Seeing Li Chen’s wine glass empty, she quickly stepped forward to refill it.

At this moment, a man dressed lavishly, with a protruding belly, appeared at the door.

When his gaze landed on Ji Lingling, he froze in mid-stride.

His squinty eyes filled with a blazing and greedy light, much like a wolf starving for three days and nights suddenly spotting a succulent lamb, constantly swallowing hard.

So beautiful!

So beautiful, it was suffocating!

An absolute rarity in the human world!

This youth in the brocade robe was named Du Duobao, the only heir of the prestigious Du Family in Spiritual Spring Town.

Mr. Du had this son late in life, and being the only heir for three generations, naturally doted on him, granting his every wish.

This upbringing fostered Du Duobao’s profligate character, spending his days idly harassing men and women.

This led to widespread discontent in Spiritual Spring Town.

However, due to the power of the Du Family and their backing by the ever-standing Spiritual Spring Sect, everyone dared only to grumble in silence.

Moreover, he was notably lecherous.

In Spiritual Spring Town, any woman he set his eyes on, he would seek to possess and desecrate.

Additionally, he had very extreme tastes. When lust overcame him, he was indiscriminate, worse than a ravenous creature; pregnant women, old ladies, even monkeys or chimpanzees—any female would do for him to "attend to" later.

Now, seeing someone like Ji Lingling, as ethereal as a fairy, Du Duobao felt an all-consuming fire, his heart feeling like it was tormented by unseen claws.

"Young Master, should I go and see what’s happening?"

The middle-aged man accompanying Du Duobao, following his gaze, immediately understood the situation when it landed on Ji Lingling.

Du Duobao nodded at him and said, "Go on, but make sure to be respectful and not rash!"

The middle-aged man acknowledged and strode toward Li Chen and Ji Lingling.

"You both seem unfamiliar; I take it you’re not from Spiritual Spring Town?"

Li Chen continued sipping his drink, utterly indifferent to the pesky fly trying to flatter him.

Out of courtesy, Ji Lingling offered a gentle smile and said, "That’s right; is there a problem?"

The middle-aged man, dazzled by Ji Lingling’s smile, couldn’t help but be amazed.

Such an exceptional beauty; no wonder his young master was so interested.

Any normal man would be completely smitten by her.

"No reason, it’s just that my young master feels a special connection with you, miss. He would like to fulfill the duties of a host and invite you to our estate for a drink. What do you think?"
