321 It’s Hard To Accept A Beauty’s Favor (Part 1)

“I’ve been waiting for your return.”

That sentence touched Wang Wen quite a bit.

In his memory, no one had ever waited for him.

Even Chief Gu, from his previous life, had other things on his mind and would not stay there to wait for Wang Wen.

As for his parents, he had never seen them in his new lifetime.

After adding up two lifetimes, he had only a few scattered fragments of memories of them in his mind.

His impression of the two of them was already a little blurry.

As for his friends outside the tower, they were all busy with their own lives.

They would only gather to celebrate his survival when he left the tower.

After that, they dispersed and went about their business. They would not just sit around waiting for him.

Who knew how many years the little fox in front of him had lived? It appeared to have exact control over the human heart and was extremely patient and persistent.

A simple sentence was enough to make Wang Wen’s calm heart race.

Wang Wen did not respond.

He cast a silent glance at the fox and waved his hand, releasing his mental power to carry the fox out of the stone room.

Maybe even he did not notice.

He had cured the fox, and it could walk on its own.

Furthermore, it was a great demon with profound magical power. It had long cultivated a human form. Even if it was injured, it could fly if shackles did not restrain it.

It did not need his help.

Then he looked at the little fox.

At first, the fox seemed a little surprised when it was lifted.

However, it soon lay down silently in Wang Wen’s large psychic hand and closed its eyes in satisfaction.

The few of them returned to the room where Jue Mingzi was being held.

“Master!” Zhu Xingguo saw Wang Wen carrying the little fox in and asked curiously, “The State Preceptor has returned to her original form? Is it alright?”

Wang Wen turned his head and looked at the fox. As if he had thought of something, he retracted his energy and put it on the ground.

The fox was a little reluctant to transform into a familiar human form. She casually wore a thin veil and bowed to Zhu Xingguo, saying, “Immortal, thank you for your concern. I am fine.”

“I’m not an immortal.” Zhu Xingguo could not help but grin and laugh.

Wang Wen stepped forward to check on Jue Mingzi and his master’s injuries.

The old man’s injuries were minor, and he had nearly recovered after being treated with the Elixir of Life.

He personally healed Jue Mingzi, and the young man was completely normal.

Wang Wen was relieved.

On the other hand…

Cheng Qiaoyi looked warily at the ice beauty, whose face was covered by a thin veil.

Even though she knew that she was a native of that world…

The other party was too beautiful, and even as a woman, she could not resist her allure. She had a favorable subconscious impression of her.

The fox in human form saw Cheng Qiaoyi grab the corner of Wang Wen’s clothes, and her eyes were filled with envy. “This must be your partner, right? As expected of an immortal, you’re different from ordinary people. Your appearance and skin are completely different from ours.”

Cheng Qiaoyi saw her carefully approaching but not daring to approach, and the vigilance in her heart faded by half.

Then she heard her say something she was not particularly good at but was trying to please him with.

She secretly sighed.

Cheng Qiaoyi was the only woman there, and she was the only one who could see the fox demon’s hidden emotions.

It was a reliance that most men would not understand—a reliance on the powerful.

Regardless of how competitive a woman was, she might be able to face an adversary alone as fearlessly as a man.

However, they were born with a flaw.

That weakness would only be revealed when she came across a secure haven.

The fox demon was in that state at the time.

She envied Jue Mingzi, who Wang Wen cared about.

She envied the immortals that Wang Wen brought along.

She even envied Cheng Qiaoyi, who had her hands on Wang Wen’s clothes.

A few minutes later.

All the prisoners had been rescued.

Wang Wen dragged the crowd back to the ground.

He tried to make an immortal stone with his current energy.

The finished immortal stone did not need to be infused with magic power to activate.

It contained energy from the same mass.

The energy was completely different from the magic power from before.

He could feel the strong aura by holding it in his hand.

Jue Mingzi and his master took turns checking the new Immortal Stone. The old man looked at Wang Wen with a complicated expression and said, “It can’t be compared to the previous one. It appears that your power has improved once more.”

Wang Wen nodded and turned to the group of five, especially the leader, who had been holding his breath. “You’re lucky that everyone is still alive.”

The leader wiped his sweat and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

“Since Jue Mingzi is fine, then you guys are also safe,” Wang Wen said.

“Thank you!”

The five of them thanked him. “We’ll leave now. We’ll never appear at this checkpoint again!”

He said, “No. Don’t you like to stay here?” Wang Wen shook his head. “In this way, your lives will be connected with theirs. If any of them dies, you will die with them.”

The five of them trembled.

The leader raised his head and looked around. Finally, his eyes fell on Jue Mingzi’s master. He pointed at the other person and screamed, “That old man is already so old; what if he dies of old age? You’re also putting it on me?”

“Of course. That’s right.” Wang Wen nodded. “So, you might have to take good care of him. Don’t let him die before you.”

The leader almost spat out a mouthful of blood. “This is too fair!”

He turned around and encouraged his four team members to resist together. “Are you just going to let this slide? At least fight for a normal life!”

The four team members thought for a moment.

They looked at each other.

“I’ll follow Little Teacher Wang’s instructions. We won’t live if they die,” one of them said to Wang Wen.
