Su Chen and Qin Nishang were walking in the Dark Forest, chatting and laughing. After fighting side by side for the past two or three days, their relationship had deepened.
"Su Chen, how many won do you have at ho?"
Qin Nishang looked at Su Chen and asked with a smile. She had been to his villa before and knew there were quite a few won there, each with extraordinary beauty!
However, Qin Nishang wasn't exactly sure how many there were in total.
Now their relationship was more intimate, and they were calling each other by their first nas, no longer using formal titles like Mister or Miss.
Su Chen, this thick-skinned fellow, glanced at Qin Nishang and teased:
"Why? Nishang, have you fallen for too and want to join my big family?"
"I wouldn't fall for soone as fickle as you!"
Qin Nishang's beautiful face flushed slightly as she retorted.
"Anyway, didn't you want to recruit before? This way, we'd be family, and you'd save yourself the trouble of recruiting!"
Seeing her slightly embarrassed look, Su Chen continued to tease.
"Dream on!"
Qin Nishang retorted once more, involuntarily recalling the scene when she woke up this morning, especially how his mischievous hands had made her heart race!
"Young Miss!"
At this mont, a voice suddenly rang out.
They both looked up to see several figures walking towards them.
Qin Nishang looked up and instantly showed a look of surprise and joy, taking a few quick steps forward.
"Qin Hui, why are you here?"
Once she reached them, Qin Nishang asked.
"We heard you were around this area, so we ca looking. Didn't expect to actually find you."
The young man replied with a smile.
Qin Nishang nodded upon hearing this. Indeed, they've encountered so other forces along the way.
"And who might this be...?"
The young man asked, looking at Su Chen.
He did this on purpose, as they had already pretty much guessed who Su Chen was—most likely the mysterious man rumored to be with their young miss!
Their eagerness to co here wasn't without reason!
They were indeed curious about how the young miss ended up with this young man!
After all, in the Ancient Martial World, their young miss was considered a top-tier talented beauty!
"Oh, let introduce you. This is my friend, Su Chen."
Qin Nishang introduced him to the newcors.
Then she introduced them to Su Chen as well, noting that they were so of the more outstanding scions of the Qin Family.
So when Qin Nishang introduced them to Su Chen, they all had a slightly arrogant look on their faces!
This was normal; most young people in the Ancient Martial World have this trait, especially those from top-tier forces like the Qin Family, where innate pride is even more prominent!
"Nishang, since your family is here, I'll be off now."
Su Chen said with a smile. He, of course, also noticed their arrogance.
However, Su Chen couldn't be bothered to fuss about it. Given the situation, he didn't intend to stick around and make himself uncomfortable.
Besides, he's friends with Qin Nishang, not these people!
Of course, since her family was here, Qin Nishang was naturally inclined to stay with them.
"Su Chen, why not co with us? It'll be more convenient, and you know how insular this Dark Forest can be!"
Qin Nishang said worriedly.
"I think I'll pass."
Su Chen smiled nonchalantly.
"Well, take care of yourself then."
Seeing his insistence, Qin Nishang had to concede. She understood why he was being like this, largely due to the attitude of her family mbers.
Although Su Chen didn't say anything, anyone would feel a bit uncomfortable, especially soone like Su Chen!
But this arrogance was a habitual mindset they had developed over ti. Never mind their view of people from the Secular World— they felt superior even compared to those from first and second-tier forces in the Ancient Martial World!
Therefore, though she was a bit worried, there was nothing else she could do.
"Don't worry."
Su Chen chuckled lightly before leaving.
Qin Nishang and the others then headed in another direction...
......
In a blink, two days had passed. In the Dark Forest, a figure flitted about, appearing and disappearing like a ghost!
During Su Chen's ti in the Eighth Brigade and the Nether Temple, he was most adept at fighting in such environnts, not to ntion his current strength was beyond comparison to his past!
When Su Chen was with Qin Nishang, their conversations and laughs made it feel more like they were out on a romantic outing, only dealing with Demon Beasts when they had to!
Neither of them seed to treat killing Demon Beasts as their primary task— just sothing they did on the side!
Now that Su Chen was alone, he naturally focused on killing Demon Beasts!
After all, there was no one to chat with now!
Over the past two days, his gains had been substantial. He had killed over twenty demon beasts, including two third-tier ones!
If others knew this, they would be utterly shocked!
The speed and efficiency were unprecedented!
Just then, Su Chen suddenly noticed a small hill ahead. On the hill stood a tree, with three or four purple fruits hanging from it!
Even from this distance, the alluring fragrance was unmistakable!
"Athyst Fruit!"
Su Chen's eyes imdiately lit up, and he hurriedly proceeded up the hill to pick the fruit!
After all, the Athyst Fruit was a highly valuable Spirit Fruit that could rapidly enhance one's cultivation!
"Oh, it's Athyst Fruit!"
As Su Chen was about to reach the small hill, an excited voice echoed from the other side!
However, they soon spotted Su Chen already on the hill, and they were shocked!
"How dare you!"
"Kid, stop!"
"The Spirit Fruit is ours!"
...
A series of arrogant shouts erupted simultaneously.
Su Chen naturally ignored them. With a swift kick, he climbed up to the tree branches, picked several Spirit Fruits, and then gracefully jumped down!
By this ti, those people had also rushed onto the hill, among them a young man in luxurious clothes!
"Kid, who are you to steal our Spirit Fruit?"
A man next to the young man in luxurious clothes imdiately shouted at Su Chen.
"Your Spirit Fruit?"
Su Chen sneered:
"You really have so nerve to claim that!"
"I won't waste words. Hand over the Spirit Fruit, and I'll spare your life!"
The young man in luxurious clothes cast a glance at Su Chen, his tone commanding.
