Chapter 749 – The Girl In The Water

Behind the cold lake was the wall of a mountain.

Long Chen would be able to continue heading in Heavenly Wood City’s direction once he passed this lake. There were many flying beasts in the sky, and he could not hide himself, so he did not choose to travel by air.

Long Chen was prepared to leave when he noticed some movement in the water. The moment he noticed it, he saw a patch of snow-white skin floating up to the surface from the bottom of the lake.

He only took a glance and quickly averted his gaze. This person was not Feng Zhilin, so Long Chen abided by conventional courtesies. Based on the short glance he had, she was just some young girl.

She was likely taking a bath in the cold lake, but Long Chen was puzzled because the water’s temperature was so low. Why had the girl chosen to bathe here?

The girl was about fourteen years old. Although it was only a quick glance, he had seen her face. She was cute, and although she was young, she was as beautiful as a hibiscus flower with skin as clear as white jade. Emerald-green water beads rolled down her skin into the water, making her look even more beautiful.

When she noticed Long Chen, she froze for a moment, then she screamed with a trembling voice. Long Chen knew that he was in trouble. He had seen her body, and if she refused to let him go, he truly would not know what to do.

Long Chen looked away.

The girl rushed up to shore and put on her clothes very quickly. Long Chen stopped averting his gaze and looked at her. The girl, whose height was up to his chin, was glaring at him furiously. She pointed at him with a trembling finger, and tears were starting to pool in her eyes.

“You ... You ...”

Long Chen was already thankful that she had not attacked him immediately. Although she was young, she was already a Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, so it would be difficult to defeat her if he did not risk his life and fight with everything he had. She only glared angrily, so he opined that she was likely a good person.

He said hurriedly, “I was only passing by; I did not have any intention to peep. After I noticed you, I immediately turned around. I didn’t see anything. I apologize if I have offended you.”

Long Chen spoke formally and politely. When the girl saw the pureness in his eyes with no intention of lying, she sighed in relief and patted her chest. She then said in her melodious, bell-like voice, “It’s good that you didn’t see anything. You don’t look like a bad person, but you should go. I ... I have matters to attend to ...”

Long Chen privately sighed in relief too when he saw that she wasn’t angry at him. Little Cat pursed his lips in contempt at how cowardly he seemed.

“In that case, I’ll excuse myself.” Long Che nodded. He had actually seen her body, but he had lied and was looking for a reason to flee. Now the girl was saying that she was busy in such a mysterious manner, so Long Chen could take this opportunity to leave.

When she saw how fast he walked away, the girl froze and thought, What a strange guy. Let’s hope he really didn’t see me. Father said that if anyone bullies me, he’ll chop them up into a thousand pieces!

After that, there was a flash of bitterness on her face. She seemed to remember something, and tears flowed from her eyes.

“Father, Yan’er will never get to see you again. You should hurry up and come see me ... Sob ...” As she spoke, she started sobbing.

The sound of her crying traveled from the cold lake’s shore.

Although Long Chen had left, he still sensed her crying. He halted and looked back in confusion. I only took a short glance; it’s not enough to make her cry this hard, right?

Long Chen did not have a single perverted thought towards this prepubescent girl. However, he still found it strange that she was crying so sadly here.

“That girl is injured, hehe ...” Little Cat said.

“What kind of injury is it?” Long Chen froze. She looked healthy. How could she be injured?

“I’m not sure. You can go check and we’ll know,” said Little Cat.

Long Chen already had the intention of going back, so after Little Cat said that, he ran back in the direction he came from and soon saw the girl by the lake. He ran up to her with a whoosh and was about to speak, but then he saw something that shocked him.

Her previously fair arms had become rough and withered, like an old person’s arms. Even her whole body had turned frail, like she had become old in the blink of an eye. The girl looked up, and Long Chen saw, to his shock, that the girl as beautiful as a hibiscus had become exactly like a shriveled, wrinkled, rough-skinned old lady.

Long Chen was witnessing this with his own eyes, so he did not think that he had made a mistake.

“What happened to you?!” The moment Long Chen said this, she spotted him, screamed, and jumped into the lake. She then quickly dove into its depths.

“Little Cat, what was that?” The change in the girl was just too bizarre. Long Chen had never seen anything like this before. How had a healthy young girl aged all of a sudden?

Little Cat cocked his head and thought for a while. “I don’t know either. She must have been attacked with some spell that made her body age rapidly. She’s very smart though. She must have known that the extremely low temperature of this cold lake would slow down the aging process. But just now, you scared her out of the lake. She only came out for a while, yet she has already aged this much.”

Little Cat looked so haughty, as if it was none of his business.

“Doesn’t that mean I was the one who made her situation more severe?” Long Chen did not want to owe anyone anything, and the girl was indeed in a pitiful situation. He was moved enough to help her, so he asked, “Tell me. Is there any way I can help her?”

“Are you sure you want to help her? She’s a stranger you just met. Do you really need to help her? It’s not because you’re attracted to her body, is it?” Little Cat had become adorable after he took over the Dream Demon’s body, but when he made an evil expression, it just made him look hilarious.

It completely ruined the adorable look of the Dream Demon.

“Stop it. Just tell me if you have a way,” chided Long Chen.

“Alright, alright. This spell is an evil Yin technique, which fears Yang energy items most. Your dragon blood is good for this. Let the girl drink all of it; maybe she’ll recover,” Little Cat said lazily.

“All of it? Won’t I die then?” Long Chen glared at him.

“What do you think?”

“Enough with the nonsense. Tell me the real way,” Long Chen said angrily.

“Alright, alright. Bros before hoes, you know. Your dragon blood has the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s blood and has great medicinal power. If she drank all of it, her small body would explode. Just let her drink a small mouthful and it should be enough. But I don’t know how long it will take to completely eradicate the problem.”

Long Chen thought for a while and felt like it was doable.

Although she was only a stranger, and Long Chen was used to treating his enemies viciously, this girl was no enemy. He also felt responsible for her aging to this extent, so he wanted to help her.

At this point, she had already sunk to the bottom of the lake and dared not come out to see him, so Long Chen rushed into the water. Now that he had recovered his strength, he arrived in front of her immediately despite the icy chill!

The girl quickly backed away like a frightened deer when she saw him.

“Don’t move. I can help you!” said Long Chen solemnly.

The girl froze, then she backed away.

Long Chen did not bother to say anything else. At this point, the girl had lost almost all of her combat abilities. Long Chen moved a little and came to her side. He gripped her frail shoulders tightly, made a cut on his wrist, then put it up to her mouth and commanded, “Drink!”

“Sob sob ...” The girl started to cry from fear and would not stop. She kept her mouth shut and was unwilling to drink his blood, as she was terrified of him.

When Long Chen saw her refusing, he pinned her down, forced her mouth open, and poured a small amount of dragon blood into her mouth. After she was forced to swallow it, he loosened his grip. By then, she had cried a lot of tears and pushed him away in panic, staring at him in terror. At the same time, she clutched her throat and wanted to spit out the spicy liquid she had swallowed.

But she could not.

Long Chen stood in front of her and watched to see if the dragon blood would really work as Little Cat had said.

One was calm, while the other panicked. Neither spoke while time passed at the bottom of the deep lake.

After a while, Long Chen saw the effects. The girl’s skin started to recover. He quickly said, “I’m not a bad person. I only wanted to help you. Look at your skin.”

“Hmm?” When she looked down, she burst into surprised laughter.
