16. Let Me Carry You

"Father, sister!"

In the middle of the crowd, Jiang Yinyin, dressed in a light red outfit and resembling a porcelain doll, had tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Lei quickly said, "Xue'er, just focus on protecting Yinyin!"

The Mist Crocodile Leopard Kings: ??

Alright, alright, you guys are acting like we don't exist!

All of you, die!

"Roar!"

The Mist Crocodile Leopard King let out a low growl and charged toward Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue swung her long sword, trying to fend off the Mist Crocodile Leopard King, but the powerful wave of energy around it blasted her away. She fell hard to the ground, her face pale, as she watched the enormous beast rush at her.

"Xue'er, be careful, run!"

"Xue'er, get out of the way!"

"Sister!"

The members of the Eagle Martial Dojo were on the verge of tears, wanting to help, but it was too late.

Just as everyone was falling into despair, a figure, like a ghost, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Xue.

Standing calmly in the face of the oncoming Mist Crocodile Leopard King, he gently raised his arm. In his palm, a dazzling light formed by Yuan energy shot out like an arrow, obliterating the once-mighty male Mist Crocodile Leopard King into nothing.

The female Mist Crocodile Leopard King: ??

At the same time, a terrifying aura burst out from the stranger, causing all the beasts within a ten-mile radius to bow to the ground, not daring to make a sound.

The surviving female Mist Crocodile Leopard King, without a second thought, immediately knelt down as if begging for mercy!

The crowd was completely stunned by this scene. Little did they know that if the beast had hesitated a second longer, it would have joined its partner in the afterlife.

Ding! Jiang Xue feels relieved, shocked, and joyful. Emotion points: +100

Ding! Jiang Yinyin feels joyful. Emotion points: +200

The newcomer was none other than Chen Xuan. The only reason he intervened was that Jiang Xue and Jiang Yinyin were on the system's list, ripe for harvesting emotional points!

However, when he saw the number of points, even Chen Xuan was surprised.

Jiang Yinyin's points were this high?

Makes sense, after all, she is the reincarnation of the Life Death Master!

With such a high status, it's only natural her emotion points are higher. Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel excited, imagining how incredible the emotional value would be when he encountered other ancient lords!

Without turning around, Chen Xuan lifted Jiang Xue off the ground with an invisible force. Jiang Xue, looking at the unfamiliar yet safe figure in front of her, was in disbelief. With just one move, he had killed a Mist Crocodile Leopard King and made so many beasts bow in submission. Could he be a master of the Manifestation Realm?

In Jiang Xue's, and everyone else's understanding, only a strong cultivator in the Manifestation Realm could kill a beast of that level with a single strike. And looking at Chen Xuan, he appeared to be just a harmless young man.

He didn't even seem older than Jiang Xue! How could someone so young be so terrifyingly powerful?

The members of the Eagle Martial Dojo, who had thought Jiang Xue was doomed, never imagined that someone would come to her rescue at the last moment and kill the Mist Crocodile Leopard King with one strike.

Jiang Lei hurried over to express his gratitude, "Brother, thank you for saving us."

Chen Xuan waved it off. "No need."

Behind him, Jiang Xue's voice called out, "I won't offer grand words of thanks. You not only saved me, but you also saved the Eagle Martial Dojo. If there's ever a chance, I will repay this favor."

Ding! Jiang Xue feels grateful. Emotion points: +50

A delicate fragrance drifted into Chen Xuan's nose. He turned around to see a graceful figure approach. It was Jiang Xue. Despite the battle, her long hair was slightly disheveled, and a few spots of blood adorned her fair skin. Instead of appearing disheveled, it added a certain charm to her. A soft smile hung on her face.

This must be what they call "good deeds are rewarded"! Chen Xuan thought, wanting to say, "You can repay me right now—just give me more emotional points."

But saying that would make him sound like a creep, so instead, he asked, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Xue blushed and shook her head, "I'm fine."

At that moment, Jiang Yinyin rushed over, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "Big brother, you're amazing!"

Being praised by a little girl, even though he knew she was the reincarnation of the Life Death Master, still felt a bit strange to Chen Xuan. Not knowing how to respond, he changed the subject, "With your strength, you dare venture into the Mist Forest? You're quite bold."

"We had no choice, the situation forced us."

Jiang Lei, as the head of the Eagle Martial Dojo, felt bad about putting everyone in danger, but they had no other option.

If they didn't take the risk, they wouldn't survive. Luo Shan, the heir to the Blood Vulture Dojo, had set his sights on Jiang Xue.

His father, Luo Jiu, was nearly a peak cultivator of the Form Creation Realm, and Jiang Lei was no match for him.

If they wanted to stay in the city, they would have to marry off his daughter.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Lei brought his people to the Mist Forest, hoping to break through to the Form Creation Realm.

Jiang Yinyin suddenly spoke up, "Big brother, you're so powerful. Can't you help us get rid of the Blood Vulture Dojo? They're so annoying!"

Jiang Xue also looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Ding! Jiang Yinyin feels admiration and anticipation. Emotion points: +200

Ding! Jiang Xue feels anticipation. Emotion points: +50

Chen Xuan felt there was an opportunity here to gather more emotional points, so he shook his head, "I still have to participate in the event at the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet, so I may not be able to help you."

Ding! Jiang Xue feels disappointed. Emotion points: +50

Ding! Jiang Yinyin feels disappointed and sad. Emotion points: +250

Seeing the notifications, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly added, "However, the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet won't open for a while, so I can go with you and take a look."

"Really?"

Jiang Yinyin's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing this.

Jiang Xue's eyes also lit up.

Ding! Jiang Xue feels anticipation. Emotion points: +50

Ding! Jiang Yinyin feels anticipation. Emotion points: +200

Chen Xuan nodded, "Of course it's true."

"Big brother, you're the best!"

Overjoyed, Jiang Yinyin rushed over, hugging Chen Xuan's leg and rubbing against it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xue, now visibly relieved, had a soft smile on her face.

Ding! Jiang Xue feels joy. Emotion points: +50

Ding! Jiang Yinyin feels happiness. Emotion points: +200

Chen Xuan had made up his mind to gather more emotional points from Jiang Xue and her sister.

He then gave the Mist Crocodile Leopard King an order: "Stay here. If you see someone riding a Fire Python Tiger, stop them!"

The Mist Crocodile Leopard King, eager to survive, nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Lei suggested, "Young man, our carriage is about a mile away. We should reach the exit by tomorrow."

Chen Xuan replied directly, "The carriage is too slow. Let me take you out."
