Hearing this familiar name, Lin Chen was overjoyed.
"Zhu Zhuqing, a good name. My name is Lin Chen. You must be hungry, right? Want some food?" Lin Chen said while handing her the roasted meat in his hand.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously swallowed her saliva, then slowly walked towards Lin Chen, took the roasted meat, and sat down to take a small bite.
Immediately, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. She chewed a few times and began to eat heartily.
Soon, a large skewer of roasted meat was gone.
Lin Chen handed Zhu Zhuqing another skewer of roasted meat. Zhu Zhuqing took it without any hesitation and continued to chew.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Zhuqing nodded, softly acknowledging him, her mouth continuously chewing the roasted meat.
Just like that, Zhuqing ate a total of four skewers of roasted meat before reluctantly stopping.
She took a deep breath, a satisfied smile on her face.
Seeing Zhuqing like this, Lin Chen's lips curved slightly upward, and he asked, "How did you get so seriously injured earlier?"
"I..." Zhuqing seemed to recall something. She looked at Lin Chen, her expression incredibly cold.
"What's wrong?" Noticing Zhuqing's abnormality, Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
"What did you do to me before?" Zhuqing gritted her teeth and asked, a hint of hatred in her eyes.
Lin Chen was stunned, but quickly reacted. He explained, "You were too severely injured before, and your skin and clothes were all stuck together. To treat you, I could only perform debridement. As for anything else... don't worry, I didn't do anything!"
Hearing this, Zhuqing remained silent, her expression still cold, her teeth gently biting her lip.
For a moment, the atmosphere became silent, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
Lin Chen smiled helplessly, then said, "Hey... Zhuqing, I did that to save you. You can't repay kindness with enmity!"
"I..." Zhuqing wanted to say something but couldn't. Although Lin Chen saved her, she was indeed seen, and furthermore, during that time, physical contact was inevitable. Lin Chen was not wrong; everything was done to save her. Unconsciously, her face became bewildered.
Lin Chen's lips curved upward as he said, "Don't overthink it. Just think of me as a doctor!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhuqing glared fiercely at Lin Chen and said, "Forget everything that happened before, and you're not allowed to let anyone know!"
Lin Chen nodded, made a shushing gesture, and smiled, "Don't worry, this is our secret!"
Zhuqing snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, and said, "Remember what you said!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "What are your plans next?"
"I'm going to Soto City!" Zhuqing frowned slightly and said softly.
Lin Chen said, "What a coincidence, my destination is also Soto City, but I need to go to Sunset Forest first!"
As he spoke, a flame ignited behind Lin Chen. The flame slowly spread, and a pair of enormous fiery wings appeared before Zhuqing.
"I..." Zhuqing hesitated, looking around. Due to her previous escape, she had no idea where she was. The Star Dou Great Forest was vast, and most areas were extremely dangerous.
Lin Chen glanced at Zhuqing and said, "I'll send you out of the Star Dou Great Forest first!"
Hearing this, Zhuqing felt relieved, a faint smile appearing on her face. She said, "Thank you!"
As soon as Zhuqing finished speaking, Lin Chen picked her up, and the two flew into the air.
Zhuqing's slender hands unconsciously clutched the clothes on Lin Chen's chest.
Looking at Lin Chen's handsome face, Zhuqing suddenly felt her heart race and immediately turned her gaze to the distance, a blush appearing on her face!
...
Deep within the Sunset Forest, there was a hidden valley.
Inside the valley was a hot spring, from which dense mist rose.
The hot spring was clearly divided into two colors, light blue and fiery red. One side emitted terrifying cold air, while the other had scorching high temperatures.
The cold and hot intertwined, looking very spectacular.
The hot spring was surrounded by exotic plants, which emitted colorful precious light.
"No one!" A Silver-haired Man muttered to himself. He looked at the woman beside him and said, "You wait for me here for a bit!"
The woman nodded gently, looking at the beautiful scenery before her, her face filled with shock.
In an instant, the surrounding exotic plants were uprooted one by one, disappearing from this world in the blink of an eye.
After a while, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became bare, leaving only the clearly divided hot spring.
The Silver-haired Man lightly leaped and jumped into the hot spring, causing a ripple.
The hot spring, where ice and fire intertwined, slowly returned to calm. Just then, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the hot spring.
As time passed, the water level in the hot spring rapidly decreased. In just the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the hot spring vanished into nothingness, leaving only a huge deep pit!
The Silver-haired Man's figure flew out of the deep pit and headed towards a wooden house not far away. The layout inside the wooden house was simple: a bed, a table, two chairs, and a cabinet.
The cabinet was filled with various bottles and jars, appearing somewhat cluttered.
"Pfft..."
The wooden door slowly opened, and the Silver-haired Man walked inside. When he left, there were two jade boxes and a letter on the wooden table.
...
Soto City, Rose Hotel, top floor, in a suite, a man and a woman stood at the door.
The man was dressed in luxurious brocade, about 1.9 meters tall, looking about eighteen or nineteen years old. His silver hair fell to his waist, his skin was fair, his eyebrows were sharp like swords, and he was exceptionally handsome.
The woman appeared slightly younger than the man, but her figure was extremely full and curvaceous.
Her black hair fell over her shoulders, and her skin was like congealed cream.
Her exquisite face was slightly flushed, her hands clasped together, and her voluptuous body was somewhat stiff, making her seem a bit uncomfortable.
These two were Chen Xin and Zhu Zhuqing, who had returned from the Sunset Forest.
Lin Chen toured the suite once, then walked back to Zhuqing's side and said, "How about you stay here alone? I'll check out other hotels in the city?"
The suite was very large; the living room alone covered an area of fifty square meters.
All the furniture in the living room was silver, carved with exquisite patterns, and the large red carpet was covered with rose patterns.
In the center of the living room, there was also a huge heart made of roses!
The entire heart covered nearly two square meters, requiring at least a thousand roses to form.
A slender ribbon hung from it, with a line of text written on it: "One thousand and one, you are my only one."
In addition, elegant vases were placed everywhere in the guest room, all filled with fiery red roses.
