On the other side, Lin Yuxi stared at him blankly, then suddenly smiled, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry, my face can't be healed anymore. Thank you!"
She wiped the tears from her cheeks, forcing a brilliant smile.
"You're lying to me!" Chu Chen roared.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to delay your future. Give up.
It's not worth wasting your resources on me."
Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth, her heart aching.
"Moreover... my cultivation has been abolished, and I can no longer cultivate. I don't deserve to be your burden!"
Chu Chen clenched his fists. "Impossible, I will find a way to cure you!"
Lin Yuxi gave a desolate, bitter smile.
"Even the elders of the sect couldn't do anything about my illness. How can a young man from a rural village cure it?"
Her face was pale. "Hurry and leave, lest you be dragged down by me."
The more she pushed him away, the more determined Chu Chen became. Ignoring Lin Yuxi's obstruction, he stuffed the purple-striped ginseng into her mouth.
"Mmm, I don't want to eat it, take it back quickly!"
Lin Yuxi struggled, but Chu Chen forcefully put it into her mouth.
*Crack!*
The purple-striped ginseng was chewed and crushed, and the hot medicinal juice flowed down her throat.
The next moment, Lin Yuxi felt a warm current spreading from her abdomen, and her whole body felt comfortable.
"Huh?"
Soon, Lin Yuxi noticed that some of the red spots on her face had disappeared.
Although many remained, there were at least signs of improvement!
"Is it really better?" Lin Yuxi was stunned, she couldn't believe it.
"Yes!"
Chu Chen nodded heavily, then took Lin Yuxi's small hand. "Come with me."
"Where are we going?" Lin Yuxi asked, confused.
"To my home!"
Chu Chen pulled Lin Yuxi out of the room.
As soon as they stepped out of the threshold, they bumped into a middle-aged man coming towards them.
*Plop.*
Lin Yuxi was knocked down and fell to the ground, her knees scraped and bleeding.
The middle-aged man was taken aback, then frowned and reprimanded, "You little brat, can't you watch where you're going?"
"Chu Tiem Chui, if you want to curse, curse me. It has nothing to do with Yuxi."
Chu Chen frowned and stood in front of Lin Yuxi.
"What right do you have to speak to your second uncle like that?"
Chu Tiem Chui raised his foot and kicked towards Chu Chen.
Chu Chen's face darkened, and he dodged, avoiding the attack.
*Bang!*
Chu Tiem Chui's kick missed and hit the stone-paved ground, sending stone dust flying.
"Hmph!" Chu Tiem Chui snorted, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"You brat, don't forget your current identity.
You are no longer a child of the village, but a cripple. Do you still want to defy the heavens?"
"I don't need your permission. If you dare to harm Yuxi in the slightest.
I will kill you even if it costs me my life!"
Chu Chen clenched his fists.
He knew that if he compromised and retreated today.
Then, the ending that awaited him would be very bad!
"Hahaha, good, I'll see how you kill me.
I want to see what gives you the right!"
Chu Tiem Chui roared with laughter.
*Rumble!*
At this moment, a thunderous explosion echoed all around.
Chu Tiem Chui was startled.
Chu Chen was also stunned. He could tell that the thunderous explosion.
It was not real thunder, but a powerful and terrifying aura sweeping towards them.
*Swish!*
He looked up and saw, in the distance, a golden armored war god, a hundred feet tall.
As imposing as a mountain, soaring through the air!
This time, he did not use the illusion technique to change his appearance.
Because he was not going to deceive the mortals of the secular world.
He wanted to use his true identity to tell them proudly.
I am the reincarnation of Chu Bawang, the cripple you speak of!
"This person has such strong malevolent energy!" Chu Tiem Chui's pupils contracted sharply.
He felt an overwhelming pressure engulfing his heart.
Making him almost unable to breathe, and his whole body turned cold.
"So... so strong!"
"Who is he? Why is he here in our village?"
"Could it be... could it be the Demon Suppressing King, the reincarnation of Chu Bawang?"
Many people discussed in hushed tones, their eyes filled with admiration.
Lin Yuxi's eyes widened, staring in shock at the towering figure in the distance, like a demon god.
Under everyone's horrified gaze.
The golden armored war god landed, transformed into a black-robed youth, with his hands behind his back, striding forward.
"I am Chu Chen. This name might not be unfamiliar to you.
I should have died in that fire three years ago.
However, there seems to be a strange force in the darkness that brought me back to life!"
Chu Chen's voice was low and hoarse.
The Chu family members looked at each other.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Tiem Chui berated.
However, he felt a vague sense of unease in his heart.
"Whether it's true or false, I believe my father's heroic spirit will give me an answer."
After saying this, Chu Chen took Lin Yuxi's arm and walked towards the village entrance.
Along the way, he met many villagers, all looking at him with awe.
Even some young girls secretly glanced at him.
Blushing shyly, their eyes filled with affection.
After all, Chu Chen was wearing a brand new brocade robe, dressed in luxurious attire.
He had shed his decadence and slovenliness, appearing handsome and refined, like an immortal descended to earth.
Soon.
They arrived at the village entrance.
"Brother Chu Chen." Chu Yaoyao stood there, her eyes slightly red.
"Where is Daddy? Is he okay?"
"Don't worry, Daddy is just unconscious. When he wakes up, everything will be fine."
Chu Chen said softly, reaching out to pat Chu Yaoyao's head.
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao's face lit up with joy. "Really?"
She cast aside her previous sadness.
"Of course it's true!"
"Let's go."
"Okay!"
Chu Yaoyao nodded heavily, then ran happily towards the outside of the village.
Chu Chen took a deep breath and walked out of the village, where a carriage was parked quietly.
In the carriage sat two beautiful women, dressed simply, with clear features and an elegant demeanor.
One of the women was Chu Chen's mother, Liu Yunlan.
In her arms, she held a little girl of five or six years old.
The girl's skin was like snow, her face exquisite, and her dark, round eyes.
Seemed to contain the spring of wisdom, captivating anyone who looked at her.
"Yaoyao, say hello to Auntie, Auntie!" Chu Chen reminded her.
"Hello, Auntie."
Chu Yaoyao called out obediently.
Liu Yunlan smiled and nodded, took out a bag of snacks from the carriage, and handed it to Lin Yuxi.
"Yaoyao, take it and share it with your sister. Our Chu family doesn't lack these things."
"Thank you, Auntie." Chu Yaoyao giggled and took the snacks.
"Yaoyao, you can't eat things randomly in the future, especially snacks. They're bad for your teeth!"
Lin Yuxi educated her, but her eyes were full of affection.
She divided some of the snacks among her younger sister and brother, and put the rest into her storage ring.
"Brother Chu Chen, don't you like snacks?"
Chu Yaoyao blinked her big, dark, bright eyes, looking at Chu Chen with anticipation.
Chu Chen was slightly taken aback. He really didn't like snacks.
He even disliked them because the taste was too unbearable.
But facing the little girl's expectant gaze, he couldn't refuse.
"No, from now on, whatever Yaoyao likes, I'll accompany you."
