"If it continues , even with my extraordinary abilities, I can't save you."
"This Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, I have only five of them in my hand, and after this, there will only be four left." Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and said irritably.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, you don't need to worry about me. No matter what, I must get the Water of Life, even if it costs me my life, I will never retreat." Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zi Ling was silent for a moment before she expressed her determination.
She had gone through a lot of hardships to come this far and finally found the Water of Life. This crucial item to save her mother was right in front of her, how could she give up?
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt a headache immediately. Why couldn't this stubborn girl understand human language?
"Zi Ling, have you lost your mind from being struck by the thunder? The power of thunder and lightning here is so fierce, do you really intend to throw your life away?" Lin Chen, seeing Zi Ling's stubborn expression, shouted angrily. This time, he didn't even call her Senior Sister, but directly called her by name.
If this foolish girl continued to act recklessly, wouldn't this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill be wasted for nothing? It's also a matter of money.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, I know you mean well for me, but you don't know the reason behind it. No matter what happens today, I have to give it a try. I must get the Water of Life."
"If I end up being struck dead by the power of thunder and lightning, that's my fate. It's no one's fault, you all just leave me alone." Zi Ling heard Lin Chen's furious shout and did not argue with him, but said calmly.
"What a foolish woman, just like that silly Yang Minghui." Lin Chen muttered under his breath while looking at Zi Ling, then directly struck, sealing all of Zi Ling's meridians.
At this moment, Zi Ling's injuries had not yet fully recovered, so Lin Chen could still restrain her.
"Senior Brother Cheng Liang, keep an eye on Senior Sister Zi Ling, don't let her act recklessly again." After sealing all of Zi Ling's meridians, Lin Chen said to Cheng Liang. Follow current novᴇls on n0velfire.net
Upon hearing this, Cheng Liang nodded his head like a pecking chick. At this moment, he only felt that Lin Chen was truly amazing, daring to seal Senior Sister Zi Ling's meridians. In the future, he feared that he would be fiercely beaten by Senior Sister Zi Ling.
"Lin Chen, let me go, unseal my meridians." With her meridians sealed, Zi Ling not only couldn't use her spiritual power but also lost her ability to move, and could only be at Lin Chen's mercy.
"Shut up. If you call out again, believe it or not, I'll seal your mouth too." Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and said viciously.
This scene immediately made Cheng Liang break out in a sweat for Lin Chen. Was Junior Brother Lin Chen completely revealing his true nature, venting all his past dissatisfaction with Zi Ling?
Daring to treat Senior Sister Zi Ling in this way, surely he wouldn't keep controlling her . Cheng Liang couldn't imagine what fate awaited Lin Chen once Senior Sister Zi Ling regained her ability to move and her strength.
In his heart, Cheng Liang truly admired Lin Chen. Because Lin Chen was a true man, daring to say and do things that he himself wanted to but didn't dare to.
At this moment, for the safety of Senior Sister Zi Ling, even if it meant offending her and being settled with later, he was willing to do it, which made Cheng Liang admire him from the bottom of his heart. After all, their Senior Sister Zi Ling sometimes acted too recklessly.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, I'm begging you, please let me go. I need to seize the Water of Life." Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and started to beg in a very low voice.
However, Lin Chen didn't care and walked towards the stone chamber.
As Lin Chen just entered the stone chamber and walked a few meters, a bolt of thunder and lightning came towards him.
This was just the edge of the stone chamber, so the power of thunder and lightning was the weakest. The power of thunder and lightning was completely within Lin Chen's tolerance after being blocked by his two defensive magic robes.
Though it was within his tolerance, the violent power of thunder and lightning fell on Lin Chen, causing him some discomfort. His body trembled and shivered immediately, looking extremely embarrassed.
But this was only on the surface. Inside Lin Chen, there was the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. The thunder power at the edge of the stone chamber, after being weakened by the double-layer robes, wouldn't harm Lin Chen's body at all. Instead, it would temper Lin Chen's Ancient Divine Body.
Therefore, at this moment, although struck by the thunder, it not only enhanced the power of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl but also improved his physique. It was simply a good thing like killing two birds with one stone.
This kind of good fortune was something Lin Chen had always thought he needed to destroy the Flying Crane Sect to achieve, but he didn't expect to fulfill it so quickly now.
However, although Lin Chen was benefiting greatly at this moment, in the eyes of Zi Ling and Cheng Liang, it was a different scene.
To them, Lin Chen seemed to be trembling and suffering from the power of thunder, approaching the central jade pond in the stone chamber with black smoke constantly rising from his body. He looked pitiful beyond words.
"Senior Brother Lin Chen is such a ruthless person. Enduring such thunder power without even letting out a scream. But truly, his skin is thick, and he didn't even faint from this." Cheng Liang looked at Lin Chen's trembling and shivering pathetic appearance under the power of thunder, filled with admiration inside.
As for Zi Ling, who was always cold-hearted, her eyes were already filled with tears, deeply moved by Lin Chen's actions.
She knew that Lin Chen was doing this all for her...
Zi Ling never imagined that Lin Chen wouldn't let her enter the stone chamber, sealing her meridians to prevent her from acting rashly because he planned to suffer on her behalf, even at the risk of his life.
That Lin Chen would go to such lengths for her.
Zi Ling thought Lin Chen did this because she needed the Water of Life, so Lin Chen went ahead without hesitation.
At this moment, Zi Ling was extremely touched and finally understood Lin Chen's feelings. It turned out that Lin Chen had always had feelings for her, only he wasn't good at expressing them and had always buried those feelings deep inside, but today they came out.
If it were merely the affection between senior and junior brothers and sisters, Lin Chen would never have gone to such lengths, like Cheng Liang, who did not.
Therefore, Zi Ling believed that Lin Chen's feelings for her were absolutely not that simple, and there must be some romantic feelings involved.
Little did Lin Chen know that his actions of using the power of thunder and lightning to temper his body and enhance the Heavenly Thunder Pearl would lead Zi Ling to such wild speculations...
