285: Chapter 285 Wang Jin Joins the Immortal Harem

Teacher Wang Jin's ordinary confession, this humble love...

...was presented bloodily before Su Chen and the four Transcendent Heroic Spirits.

Blaming Su Chen for playing the hero and saving the beauty?

There was nothing wrong with his actions.

Zhuge Jinyu and the others placed themselves in Su Chen's position and realized that, without knowing Teacher Wang Jin was a martial artist, they likely would have made the same choice as Su Chen.

But...

...it was this very choice that completely captured Teacher Wang Jin's heart.

They were originally exceptionally proud and jealous peerless geniuses.

Normally, if they even saw another woman dare to glance at Su Chen or approach him...

...their overbearing and matchless possessiveness would flare up instantly, stirring a wave of jealousy powerful enough to change the color of the sky.

Even among the four of them, they would secretly compete, using every possible means to vie for all of this man's attention and tenderness.

But at this moment, facing this "mortal woman" who had used her meager life to stubbornly protect Su Chen's final bottom line in this world...

...not a single trace of jealousy could arise in their hearts.

All that remained was deep admiration and emotion.

They silently watched the lifeless woman in Su Chen's arms.

They were high and mighty Transcendent Heroic Spirits, possessing great power capable of reversing the heavens and earth.

However, in the long river of time...

...during the years they were absent and in deep slumber for various reasons...

...during Su Chen's most destitute and helpless mortal years in this lifetime...

...who had been secretly protecting him in their stead?

It was this woman named Teacher Wang Jin.

It was she who, with her not-so-broad shoulders, accompanied Su Chen through the most difficult and bitter path.

She even unhesitatingly burned away her entire cultivation and bloodline to protect his only family member.

And even her most precious soul.

"Junior... do you still remember the A-rank extraordinary item you obtained when you first joined the Huayu Association?"

Jiang Luoli suddenly asked.

How could Su Chen not remember?

It was an A-rank staff.

Although it didn't directly boost his abilities...

...as an extraordinary item, it was soon fed to the Angel Investment System.

One could say that without that staff, Su Chen would never have met Cang Mingyue and Ye Jingjun.

Let alone possess his current cultivation level.

"That... that staff."

"It wasn't some so-called benefit that all new members of the Huayu Association had a chance to obtain."

"After all, the Huayu Association has countless new members every year, and geniuses with A-rank talent or higher are as numerous as carp crossing a river, yet only a dozen or so A-rank or higher extraordinary items appear each year."

"It... Teacher Teacher Wang Jin traveled to over a dozen branches across the country to find it, and in the end, she even paid the price of a vial of her own source essence blood to bring it back for you."

Hearing this, Su Chen felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue!

A martial artist's source essence blood, like extraordinary items, was a priceless treasure in the martial arts circle.

It was said that simply soaking in a pool of water diluted with a single drop of source essence blood could fundamentally change a martial artist's skeletal structure.

But obtaining it was also extremely difficult.

It had to be voluntarily donated by a living martial artist; otherwise, it would lose its vitality.

Not to mention whether it was painful to insert a needle into the heart to draw blood...

...the mere act of extracting essence blood would cause the donor's own cultivation path to be damaged.

That alone was enough to explain why so few people were willing to donate.

Hearing this, a hint of softness flashed through Zhuge Jinyu's cold, fox-like eyes.

This Female Prime Minister of the Great Qian, who always considered the big picture and devised strategies...

...slowly put away the vermilion bird feather fan that symbolized supreme power.

She walked forward toward Teacher Wang Jin, who was on Su Chen's back, with gentle and solemn movements.

She slowly crouched down and reached out her fair, jade-like hands.

She gently held Teacher Wang Jin's hand, which was covered in scars and stained with dark red blood.

Zhuge Jinyu's vast, sea-like Fourteenth Stage cultivation flowed continuously from her palm into Teacher Wang Jin's battered body.

Helping her stabilize her flame of life once more, which had already improved significantly after Cang Mingyue's treatment.

The white-haired Female Prime Minister looked up, her gaze fixed firmly on the sleeping Teacher Wang Jin.

In a posture of equality and with a hint of gratitude...

...she gave the weightiest promise on behalf of the entire harem.

"Thank you, sister."

"During the years we were absent, thank you for caring for Sir in our stead and for protecting the family member he cares about most."

She paused, her tone suddenly becoming majestic and solemn, as if announcing an irrevocable decree to the world.

"From now on, there will always be a place for you in Sir's backyard."

"Within the vast territories of Great Xia, as long as we live, no one shall dare to bully you in the slightest."

"If anyone harms you, I, Zhuge Jinyu, will exterminate their nine generations."

These words were powerful and resonant.

They completely solidified Teacher Wang Jin's position in everyone's hearts.

And announced that this mortal woman had rightfully gained acceptance into Su Chen's highest-spec harem in history.

After hearing Zhuge Jinyu's words, the emotional Cang Mingyue kept wiping tears from her eyes, her heart aching for Teacher Wang Jin's tragic state.

Jiang Luoli's pretty face was full of joy.

She and Teacher Wang Jin were originally both mentors and friends; having someone on her side within the harem was always a good thing.

In Ye Jingjun's crimson eyes, a flash of respect appeared first.

Then, a trace of indignation showed.

However, that indignation was not toward Teacher Wang Jin.

But toward Zhuge Jinyu.

Who are you?

Acting like the head of the household.

Aside from everything else, can you even beat me in a fight?

Amidst this warm atmosphere...

"Boom—!"

Deep within the nearby ruins, the incredibly heavy steel door of the Huayu Association's underground secret chamber...

...was blasted open with a deafening roar!

A powerful Twelfth Stage divine sense swept out from the dark passage.

Su Wanyue, who had successfully made a breakthrough...

...rushed out of the dark chamber, carrying a violent aura that had not yet fully subsided.

The moment the girl rushed out, she saw the corpses piled in front of the Huayu Association and smelled the scent of blood in the air.

The girl's eyes, which had become clear during her seclusion, now turned a morbid scarlet once more!

The moment she reached the surface, she scanned her surroundings frantically.

"Teacher Teacher Wang Jin?"

"Not here?"

"What happened??!"

But she didn't find Teacher Teacher Wang Jin.

Instead, her eyes immediately landed on that familiar figure standing in the rain—the one she thought of day and night, the one who haunted her dreams.

The girl's eyes instantly reddened, and a thick mist of tears completely blurred her vision.
