Chapter 1185 - 282: Chen Jie: Yaya, Will You Marry Me?

Faced with the heir to such a sect, how could Chen Jie enter the treasure mountain and leave empty-handed? He naturally needs to try every way to get closer with Linglong, forge a bond, and perhaps when he unifies the world in the future, he will need the Miao people’s support!

So, Chen Jie needs to lay a good foundation with Linglong, this little girl.

Linglong felt touched by these words and looked up at Chen Jie: "Uh-huh, once I work hard at my skills and reach the Dragon Realm, my mom will allow me to go out and see the world."

"Then I will visit Brother Chen and Sister Yaya for fun."

Linglong said, and hearing this, Chen Jie responded to Linglong: "Sure, Linglong, Sister Yaya and I are waiting for you."

Just as they were speaking, Linglong suddenly said, "Oh, Jiu Si, I have something else I need to tell you."

Chen Jie looked at Linglong upon hearing this and said, "What is it? Tell me!"

Linglong said, "Today when my mother was matching wits with Ruyang King in front of the formation, the Ruyang King called you a Han traitor and advised my mother to be cautious of you."

"Moreover, he even expressed hope that my mother would hand you over to him, as he wishes to execute you personally!"

As Linglong spoke to Chen Jie, Chen Jie squinted his eyes upon hearing this, looking at Linglong: "Did Mother Gu tell you to inform me of all this?"

Linglong said, "Yes, in fact, I was hiding in the cave at the time and heard some of it myself. Ruyang King did indeed say these things."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya’s expression changed: "What is Father doing, why is he insistent on killing you?"

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie, thinking to herself, could Father know about the relationship between Chen Jiu Si and me? If Father knows about this connection, wanting to kill Chen Jiu Si would be understandable.

But?

How does he know about such things?

"Don’t worry, Jiu Si, once we’re out, I’ll explain to Father."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and asked, "How does Commandery Princess plan to explain?"

Zhao Ya said, "I’ll say we only have a simple superior-subordinate relationship, nothing else..."

Chen Jie gave a bitter smile upon hearing this and said, "Commandery Princess, if you say so, then my life is truly over."

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Chen Jie said, "Although I don’t know why Ruyang King is so determined to kill me, I can deduce a little. The only one aware of my presence in the Five Poison Sect is Elder Xie, which means this information is likely passed from Elder Xie to Ruyang King."

"Well, that’s easy to understand, he reported my existence to Ruyang King, and Ruyang King wants to kill me, why?"

"This certainly means I must have touched Ruyang King’s reverse scale, where exactly is the Prince’s reverse scale?"

Linglong said, "Sister Yaya!"

Chen Jie said, "Exactly, and when the Commandery Princess was captured by the Five Poison Sect, I became the Five Poison Sect’s honored guest. If I were the Prince, I would inevitably believe Chen Jiu Si betrayed the Commandery Princess, selling out his master for glory and wealth; such a person cannot remain by the daughter’s side, thus the need to kill..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya and Linglong reflected for a moment and felt that Chen Jie’s reasoning was very sound. Certainly, it was Elder Xie who spoke nonsense, leading Ruyang King to think he betrayed Commandery Princess for riches.

As a father, this is absolutely unforgivable, and he must be killed.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie’s lips curled slightly upwards, "But this is easy to resolve, as long as I and Commandery Princess return safely, Commandery Princess only needs to explain clearly to the Prince."

"Or, say I endured humiliation and carried heavy responsibility, and to save the Commandery Princess, I submitted to Saintess Linglong of the Five Poison Sect, becoming a lackey to protect the Commandery Princess’s safety, that’s all."

Linglong replied, "How come I sound like the bad guy?"

Zhao Ya laughed and said, "Linglong is not a villain; rather, some people are full of mischief, yet act as the Saintess’s lackey. Since you’re someone’s lackey, shouldn’t you order around your lackey, Linglong?"

Linglong was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at Chen Jie: "Brother Chen, then I won’t hold back!"

Chen Jie heard this and said with a bitter face: "Who asked my little life to be in your hands, I request Saintess Linglong, please command, and this humble Chen Jiu Si will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Linglong rubbed her stomach and said, "I’m hungry."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya, and Zhao Ya said, "I’m hungry too."

Chen Jie said, "Fine, I understand, then I’ll cook for you two lovely ladies."

Zhao Ya laughed, "You can cook?"

Chen Jie said, "Undestimating me, today, I will show you my skills!"

Saying this, Chen Jie directly took out various ingredients from his Storage Ring and began his culinary display!

Since Zhao Ya had just recovered from illness, Chen Jie prepared something light for her.

A bowl of lean meat porridge.

To replenish nutrition, yet allow a taste of meat.

As for Linglong, Chen Jie took out a piece of selected beef from his Storage Ring and made a barbecue for the little girl.

Big beef skewers.

With just a quick sauté, the fragrant beef skewers were ready. It was Linglong’s first time tasting such food, and she felt very pleasantly surprised, devouring them ecstatically, looking at Chen Jie with a newfound admiration: "It’s so delicious."

Chen Jie laughed, "Do you know what this is called?"

Linglong said, "I don’t know!"

Chen Jie said, "It’s called barbecue, and there’s a saying in my hometown."

Linglong said, "What saying?"

"There’s no problem a barbecue can’t solve, if there is, just have two servings!"

Linglong nodded, "Uh-huh, makes sense."

Zhao Ya said, "Stop rambling, isn’t your hometown Mianshui County? I’ve stayed there too, how come I’ve never heard of such a saying?"

Chen Jie laughed, "It’s because I haven’t said it yet. Once I go back, I’ll say it, and I believe it won’t take years for this to become a saying in my hometown?"
