299: See you tonight

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully killing the ninth-tier Yao Beast Fentian Magic Dragon! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 1 unit of diluted Dragon Blood!”

Diluted Dragon Blood: Can be used to temper the Physical Body, or given to the Dragon Egg in the Host's inventory to speed up its incubation!

“Oh? There’s an unexpected surprise like this?”

Su Xuan hadn't expected it; the Fentian Magic Dragon's Dragon Bloodline could actually accelerate the incubation of his Dragon Egg.

“Use diluted Dragon Blood!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successful use! Current incubation progress reduced by 6 hours!”

Su Xuan: “???????????”

“Damn it, the blood of a ninth-tier Yao Beast only reduces it by six hours? How many would I need for it to fully incubate?!”

Su Xuan was too lazy to do the calculations. There were still over three hundred days until the Dragon Egg hatched.

Yao Beasts with Dragon Blood were already rare. If he had to spend time hunting them, honestly, it would be faster just to wait for it to hatch on its own!

“Forget it, forget it. At least it gave me some information, even if it’s not very useful for me!”

After dealing with the Dragon Blood matter, Su Xuan turned his attention to reality.

“Senior Brother Lu, the Fentian Magic Dragon has been killed by me. You should quickly put away this flame marrow spirit crystal grass!”

Su Xuan smiled.

“Heh heh, you killed it? I’m not blind. It was clearly the Chu family Elders who jointly defeated it, and now it’s yours again!”

Lu Chen silently added a mental note that Senior Brother Su liked to steal credit.

He had seen many people like this in his past workplace, and they were the most annoying!

“Senior Brother Lu, why are you spacing out? Hurry up and put it away! Otherwise, other Yao Beasts might be attracted here soon, and then it will be troublesome!”

As Senior Brother Su spoke, he tried to help Lu Chen put away the flame marrow spirit crystal grass.

“Wait! Senior Brother Su! Let me do this myself! Let me have some sense of participation!”

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly stopped Su Xuan. If Su Xuan swapped it out, he would suffer a huge loss!

“Senior Brother Lu, it’s just a small favor. Let me do it!”

Su Xuan smiled.

“No, no, I’ll do it myself!”

Under Lu Chen’s repeated insistence, Su Xuan finally relented.

Of course, this was just a show he put on for Lu Chen. If he agreed too quickly, Lu Chen would be even more hesitant to take it, and his Villain Value would have been wasted.

“Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Su! After this is done, you will not be shortchanged on the proper reward!”

Lu Chen was very happy. With this flame marrow spirit crystal grass, he could make a splash in the Saint Child Selection!

At that time, once he became the Saint, it would be his time to get revenge on Su Xuan!

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully tricking the Destined Protagonist Lu Chen into taking the fake medicine! Lu Chen’s Luck Value decreased by 10,000, and you are rewarded with 100,000 Villain Value!”

Hearing the System's prompt, Su Xuan was very satisfied, which meant Lu Chen hadn't realized it was fake.

As the flame marrow spirit crystal grass was pulled out, the surrounding magma-like environment slowly disappeared. Without the Spiritual Qi emitted by the flame marrow spirit crystal grass to maintain it, the surrounding environment gradually returned to its original state.

“Young Master Su, the nearby Yao Beasts have all been attracted by the Demon Dragon’s blood. Let’s leave quickly!”

An Elder of the Chu family said.

“Alright, put this Dragon meat away for me. Tonight, I’ll have the kitchen staff stir-fry it and eat it!”

Su Xuan smiled slightly, then had someone put the Fentian Magic Dragon’s corpse into a Storage Ring.

Along the way, Su Xuan and his group slew gods and Buddhas, with no Yao Beast able to withstand a single blow from them.

After two hours of twists and turns, they successfully returned to the Chu family.

As soon as they returned to the Chu family, Liu Su Su stood at the entrance, glaring at Su Xuan and his group with a resentful expression.

“Senior Brother! What do you mean by this? Where did you go, leaving me here alone?”

Liu Su Su immediately started questioning him.

After all, not long after Liu Su Su left earlier, she came back to look for Lu Chen, but he was gone. This made her anxious, thinking she had been abandoned by Lu Chen.

“I’m sorry, Junior Sister, Senior Brother Su and I just went to look for the flame marrow spirit crystal grass!”

Lu Chen explained.

“Then why didn’t you call me? When we set off from the Holy Land, didn’t we agree to go together?!”

Liu Su Su was almost in tears from anger. Lu Chen actually left a girl like her alone here!

Fortunately, the Chu family members weren't bad people, otherwise, she couldn't imagine what might have happened.

“I was afraid it would be too dangerous, so I didn’t call you!”

Lu Chen was getting annoyed. This Liu Su Su, she got angry with him first thing in the morning, and now she's angry with him again after returning!

It's just because he didn't take her, right? Isn't it enough to complete the task Luo Qingxue assigned? He really didn't know why she was so anxious!

“Wuwuwu! Senior Brother, you big meanie! I'll never talk to you again, you go by yourself!”

Liu Su Su burst into tears, threw out that sentence, and then ran off.

“Senior Brother Lu, aren’t you going after her? Junior Sister Liu is crying, you know!”

Su Xuan “kindly” reminded him.

“It doesn’t matter. She’ll be fine in a while; she’s always like this!”

“Besides, that mission was so dangerous, not taking her was for her own safety!”

Lu Chen said with an indifferent expression.

His top priority now was to check if there was anything wrong with this flame marrow spirit crystal grass. This concerned his future, and he absolutely couldn't make a mistake!

Although he had been staring at Su Xuan the whole time, making sure he didn't do anything sneaky.

But what if? Su Xuan's cunning was definitely beyond his imagination. He had to be extra cautious and not fall into a trap!

As for Liu Su Su? No need to rush; he could just coax her a bit later when he had time!

“Alright, I won’t say more then. Tonight, I’ll treat you all to Dragon meat. Senior Brother Lu, stay one more day to rest before leaving!”

Su Xuan smiled.

“Okay! No problem!”

The flesh and blood of high-tier Yao Beasts had the effect of tempering the Physical Body for Cultivators below the Saint Realm. Lu Chen still wanted to seize this opportunity.

Moreover, he didn't want to leave so quickly; he still hadn't confirmed whether the flame marrow spirit crystal grass was real or fake!

“Then I’ll host a celebratory banquet tonight to send off Senior Brother Lu!”

Su Xuan finished speaking, then left with a smiling expression.

He was going to cause trouble for Liu Su Su. What would happen when a sad woman was comforted by a handsome bad guy like himself?

It was truly something to look forward to!

“Alright, then we’ll see each other tonight!”

Lu Chen said indifferently.
