CHAPTER 1242: CHAPTER 1240: THAT’S HOW IT IS (4 MORE UPDATES)

Lin Yanran doesn’t have high requirements for her companions, as long as they don’t abandon or give up when encountering danger. But even with this simple point, Huang Chen couldn’t do it, Lin Hua and the others couldn’t do it, only Su Chen did it.

On another note, Su Chen offended Bei Buxiu, and because of herself, she had to stay by Su Chen’s side. Even adding her, they were not opponents of Bei Buxiu, but, at least, she did it without backing down.

However, to Lin Yanran’s surprise, Su Chen shook his head: "I’m used to being alone."

"You..." Lin Yanran was a bit surprised and a bit annoyed, frowning, she said, "Being alone is very dangerous."

"No problem."

"But, but, Uncle Lin said you should take care of me." Lin Yanran was silent at first, and finally, she said in a firm voice. She realized that Su Chen was really ignoring her, so she had to mention Uncle Lin.

Su Chen was silent.

"Su Chen, rest assured, even if we form a team, I won’t trouble you." Lin Yanran’s voice turned somewhat cold. She felt that Su Chen was being ungrateful. Her attitude had clearly improved, and she had even taken the initiative to team up with Su Chen, but Su Chen’s attitude was so appalling. Does she really seem that detestable?

"Okay." Su Chen finally agreed, not for any other reason, but because he promised Lin Hongzhi.

Lin Yanran smiled, there was a sliver of a smile, but then, she completely restrained her smile and became cold again.

Then, Lin Yanran’s beautiful eyes showed a trace of shyness and annoyance, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Later, you need to hold my hand, otherwise, once inside the Space Gate, we’ll get separated. Once separated, it will be hard to meet on the Assessment Island."

"Okay." Su Chen’s response was still one word.

"You bastard!!!" Lin Yanran was furious. She felt that Su Chen was doing it on purpose, being so cold, as though he didn’t want to say a word, while she appeared to be the one clinging to him. How could someone as proud as Lin Yanran stand for that?

"You can choose not to be with me." Su Chen glanced at Lin Yanran. He really didn’t have any good feelings towards her. This girl might not be bad, but her inexplicable arrogance and superiority were still annoying.

"......" Lin Yanran was so angry she nearly cursed, but she held back.

At the same second, Huang Chen hesitated and walked over: "Yanran, let’s go together."

Huang Chen exemplified shamelessness?

Lin Hua and the others awkwardly walked over as well.

"No need. Su Chen and I are enough." Lin Yanran’s face instantly froze, like being encased in ice, and she mustered her courage, gritted her teeth, and leaned closer to Su Chen, reaching out her pale hand to grab Su Chen’s big hand.

This scene made Huang Chen burn with anger, staring at Su Chen with killing intent almost becoming tangible.

Just then, Bei Buxiu approached, lowering his voice sinisterly, "Su Chen? Once on the Assessment Island, I’ll make you realize what it means to wish for death!"

Saying this, Bei Buxiu looked at Lin Yanran: "Once on the Assessment Island, I will have you willingly become my woman."

Huang Chen, Lin Hua, and others were so scared they started trembling. Initially, they wanted to stick with Lin Yanran, but now they felt relieved that Lin Yanran refused them. Not going together was the right choice.

"Oh!" Su Chen glanced at Bei Buxiu, made an "oh" sound, without any emotion.

"Su Chen, let’s go," Lin Yanran said softly.

Su Chen nodded, taking Lin Yanran, heading toward the Space Gate. Bei Buxiu’s eyes were venomously gazing at Su Chen and Lin Yanran.

Soon, the two of them entered the Space Gate.

Upon entering, it felt as if the world was spinning.

Luckily, they held tight.

A few breaths later.

Bam!

Suddenly, they landed.

Both of them fell to the ground, perhaps instinctively, they hugged each other.

Su Chen only felt a softness and a refreshing fragrance, then their eyes met.

"Bastard!!!" Lin Yanran’s face suddenly blushed, bright red.

Su Chen remained silent, releasing Lin Yanran.

Both stood up.

Lin Yanran quickly tidied her clothes, glaring fiercely at Su Chen.

Su Chen acted as if he hadn’t noticed, lifted his head and looked around.

In front of him, a dense forest, trees so very green and tall, the air extremely fresh, filled with the scent of herbs and flowers. However, looking into the distance, a few gigantic footprints could be seen, clearly the marks of a Demon Beast.

"Old Dragon, sense what’s inside this Assessment Island. Are there any particularly powerful Demon Beasts?" Su Chen communicated with Old Dragon.

"No." Old Dragon replied directly, "Indeed, it’s the First Level to Third Level of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, ten thousand Demon Beasts, all of this level, nothing particularly strong."

"Young boy Su, find a place and concentrate on cultivation." Jiuyou said with a smile.

"Yeah, I think so too. Going to kill these Demon Beasts is meaningless. It’s a waste of time. I’ll find a place to cultivate for two and a half days, and the last half-day, go find Guo Dingyang, Bei Buxiu, and others to rob them. Easy catch first hand."

"Yes, exactly like that." Jiuyou was a bit excited, seemingly enjoying the idea of robbing a lot.

At the same second, Lin Yanran spoke: "Su Chen, let’s go now! We need to make the most of the time to find Demon Beasts! It’s the time when Demon Beasts are most plentiful, good for collecting Beast Ring Points. If we’re late, the Demon Beasts will be fewer!"

Su Chen simply ignored her.

"Are you mute?" Lin Yanran was increasingly upset, feeling Su Chen was doing this intentionally, repaying her previous coldness with coldness of his own.

Therefore, Lin Yanran also stopped talking.

She was, after all, extremely proud at heart.

Don’t think just because you helped me, I must thank you.

You don’t acknowledge me, I don’t acknowledge you either.

Su Chen didn’t think much of it, instead walking forward, having heard the sound of flowing waterfall water.

Lin Yanran followed behind Su Chen.

Soon enough.

A beautiful waterfall appeared before their eyes.

Su Chen headed directly to the cliff under the waterfall, finding a nice spot, took out the Ancient Dust Sword, and quickly carved out a cave.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yanran was speechless, shouldn’t we be rushing off to hunt Demon Beasts now?! Why on earth make a cave?

According to Lin Yanran’s thoughts, with only three days, there was totally no need to rest, at all times they should be hunting Demon Beasts.

Lin Yanran wanted to scold so badly.

Soon, a fine cave was crafted.

Su Chen walked inside.

Without a word, sat cross-legged, began cultivating!!! Truly started cultivating!

"Su Chen, you... you..." Lin Yanran gazed at Su Chen, dumbfounded, almost angered to death: "Even if you’re scared, there’s no need to hide like this, is there?"

She was truly disappointed.

She thought, Su Chen hiding in the cave to cultivate was just because he was afraid of Bei Buxiu.

After all, if they went to hunt Demon Beasts, they might run into Bei Buxiu, Guo Dingyang, and others, which would be dangerous.

So, Su Chen’s choice was reasonable, but she was just not happy.

Su Chen didn’t pay any attention to Lin Yanran, instead sinking into cultivation.

Lin Yanran fumed for quite a while, glared at Su Chen, and directly left the cave.

Su Chen was scared, she was not.
