[Ding! You have sessfully altered the plot. Lin Feng''s Heavenly Fate Value reduced by 300 points!]


    [Ding! You have acquired 500 points of Viin Value!]


    A system prompt echoed in Jiang Chen''s mind, filling him with a surge of tion.


    Yet, externally, he maintained a pale visage and disyed unsteady footsteps.


    Not only that.


    To enhance his pitiful appearance, he resumed his performance.


    Ding-dong!


    Plop!


    The tter of a long sword striking the ground and the thud of a body copsing reverberated.


    In that instant, it appeared that Jiang Chen''s injuries had worsened, and his physical strength depleted, leading him to fall to the ground once more.


    "Jiang Chen!"


    Ning Xian swiftly rushed to Jiang Chen''s side, her anxiety palpable, "You''re injured! How are you feeling!?"


    "I''m fine!"


    "Here, feed me..."


    Jiang Chen''s voice was barely perceptible, as though he had mustered hisst ounce of strength to retrieve a healing pill from his storage bracelet.


    tter.


    The pill slipped from his feeble grasp and rolled onto the ground.


    "Okay!"


    "Don''t worry, I''ll feed it to you right away! You must be alright!"


    In a slightly flustered manner, Ning Xian picked up the pill, wiped it on her clothes, and then ced it into Jiang Chen''s mouth.


    The situation was critical.


    In her haste to feed the pill to Jiang Chen, Ning Xian inadvertently inserted her own slender fingers into his mouth.


    Fortuitously, Jiang Chen was feigning weakness and helplessness, to the extent that he couldn''t even open his mouth.


    Thus, he epted Ning Xian''s delicate finger into his mouth...


    ''Mmm, so tender.''


    Outwardly, Jiang Chen remained still, but inwardly, his heart swelled with affection.


    However,


    Ning Xian hastily withdrew her finger, gazing at him with a worried expression.


    It seemed as though she was assessing whether he possessed the strength to swallow the pill on his own.


    ''If I pretend I''m unable to swallow the pill... Would Ning Xian resort to kiss-feeding?''


    Jiang Chen suddenly pondered with keen interest.


    However, he refrained from doing so and instead ''mustered all his strength'' to swallow the pill.


    Gradually.


    The medicinal power started to take effect.


    Jiang Chen''s self-inflicted injuries began to heal, and hisplexion progressively returned to normal.


    "Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen!"


    "Are you feeling better now!?"


    Ning Xian observed Jiang Chen''s steadily improvingplexion and grew somewhat excited.


    "Much better."


    "Thank you for feeding me the medicinal pill, or else I might not have been able to recover so swiftly..."


    Jiang Chen spoke ''feebly'' while ''struggling'' to rise.


    "Don''t move!"


    "I''ll help you!"


    Seeing this, Ning Xian promptly stepped forward to aid Jiang Chen.


    However, Jiang Chen''s body felt immensely heavy, akin to dead weight.


    Ning Xian had to utilize half of her body to support Jiang Chen''s back in order to lift him up.


    "Phew!"


    Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, exhaling a sigh of relief.


    Simultaneously, while circting his cultivation technique to refine the medicinal pill, he said, "Ning Xian, don''t worry about me, go and check on your master quickly!"


    "Alright, alright!"


    "If you need anything, just call me!"


    Ning Xian was moved and immediately dashed to attend to Qiu Liaoxi.


    In that instant.


    [Ding! Ning Xian''s fondness for you has grown, while Lin Feng''s Heavenly Fate Value has diminished by 200 points!]


    [Ding! You have acquired 300 points of Viin Value!]


    The system notification echoed within Jiang Chen''s mind, prompting him to nod with gratification.


    ''I have yet to encounter Lin Feng, and already he has forfeited 500 points of Heavenly Fate Value!''


    ''This is quite promising!''


    ''If all proceeds ording to n, then today...''


    Jiang Chen pondered, as a chilling glint flickered in his eyes.


    Simultaneously.


    Ning Xian exhaled a sigh of relief after examining her master''s state.


    Regrettably, Qiu Liaoxi''s injury was severe and could not be remedied bymon medicine.


    Thankfully, Tian Wendong and hispanions aimed to apprehend Qiu Liaoxi alive, sparing her from any lethal harm.


    Nheless.


    If the situation were to persist for an extended period, it could still culminate in catastrophe.


    Therefore, Ning Xian promptly administered Qiu Liaoxi some basic healing medicinal pills to temporarily prevent her injuries from worsening.


    Conversely.


    Jiang Chen, who had been observing the entire scene.


    After casting a final nce at the wounded Qiu Liaoxi and feeling that all was prepared,


    He discreetly expanded his divine sense and utilized the transmission jade token to ry a signal to Jiang Xingtai, directing him to withdraw!


    Subsequently, he closed his eyes and continued refining the healing pill.


    Elsewhere.


    In a street engulfed by utter chaos.


    Lin Feng persistently attempted to breach Jiang Xingtai''s barrier, but each endeavor proved fruitless!


    "You fiend!"


    "Either y me or step aside!"


    Lin Feng bellowed in fury, his voiceden with sorrow and resentment!


    He had already discerned that his opponent was a formidable cultivator at the Mysterious tform realm, yet for some inexplicable reason, the adversary seemed to be deliberately restraining himself.


    "Hmph!"


    "If it weren''t for our reluctance to provoke the Jiang n, I would have dispatched you long ago!"


    "For now, stand herepliantly, and you will naturally be permitted to departter!"


    Jiang Xingtai uttered in a disguised voice, his tone icy.


    "What?!"


    "The Jiang n?! Jiang Chen?!"


    Lin Feng instantaneously conjured Jiang Chen''s visage in his mind.


    His sole connection to the Jiang n was through Jiang Chen.


    Could it be that this Mysterious tform realm cultivator spared his life because of that irksome fellow, Jiang Chen?


    Would he, Lin Feng, find himself indebted to Jiang Chen once more?!


    Upon contemting this,


    Lin Feng instantly experienced a sensation of unease and constriction in his chest, feeling immensely irritated!


    Just at that instant!


    "What!"


    "The mission has failed!?"


    "Jiang Chen from the Jiang n intervened?"


    "Curse it! Hadn''t we agreed with Jiang Xingtai not to provoke their n and they wouldn''t meddle in our scheme?"


    "Why, then, did Jiang Chen from the Jiang n take action?!"


    Jiang Xingtai extracted his transmission jade token, and upon examining it, uttered a disbelieving low snarl, feigning astonishment and rage!


    Shortly thereafter.


    "Jiang n, you''ve reneged on your promise!"


    "I won''t let you escape retribution!"


    Jiang Xingtai hurled these words, then with a single stride, vanished into the shadows!


    "Mission failed!?"


    "Ning Xian was rescued? And it was Jiang Chen who saved her!?"


    "Jiang Chen breached the pact between the Jiang n and Purple Bamboo Spiritual Mountain by independently intervening to save Ning Xian and Master?"


    Lin Feng''s eyes widened, his expression a whirlpool of conflicting emotions.


    Relief, doubt, and resentment intermingled within him!


    Ning Xian was meant to be his, Lin Feng''s, woman. He should have been the one to rescue her!


    Inhaling deeply.


    Lin Feng''s countenance darkened as he made his way towards the Vast Spirit Residence.


    Within the Vast Spirit Residence.


    ''Should be arriving soon, right?''


    Jiang Chen mused to himself. Expanding his divine sense, he perceived the surroundings within a one-thousand-meter radius.


    In no time.


    A rapidly approaching figure materialized in his divine sense.


    It was none other than Lin Feng!


    ''Here hees!''


    ''Preparing to act once more. s, life is like a y, and we must all take our turn on the stage...''


    A gleam flickered in Jiang Chen''s eyes, and a subtle smile graced the corner of his lips.


    Just at that moment.


    Lin Feng had already closed the distance to two hundred meters.


    Anxious as he was, he had already extended his divine sense and would soon discern the events unfolding within the Vast Spirit Residence.


    "Cough cough cough!"


    Jiang Chen suddenly coughed violently, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth once more!


    "What''s wrong with you!"


    "Didn''t you take the pill? Please don''t let anything happen to you!"


    Ning Xian swiftly approached Jiang Chen, her expression fraught with worry. She tenderly patted his back and used a handkerchief to dab the blood from the corners of his mouth.


    This scene.


    It unfolded directly before Lin Feng''s eyes.


    "Ning Xian...!"


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled and his speed involuntarily slowed, transitioning from flight to a brisk walk.


    His heart ached intensely!


    It felt as though ten thousand knives were mercilessly stirring within!


    With a somewhat dazed expression, Lin Feng moved forward, experiencing a difort akin to when his dantian had been shattered!


    His eyes wide, he fixated on Ning Xian''s worried gaze and tender gestures. A sense of despair washed over him, as if his heart had turned to ashes.


    [Ding! You have sessfully damaged Lin Feng''s mental state! Lin Feng''s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points!]


    [Ding! You have earned 300 points of Viin Value!]


    ''Hehe!''


    ''Did he truly be emotionally wounded just by witnessing this? He''s quite sensitive!''


    Jiang Chen scoffed internally.


    He then raised his hand and grasped Ning Xian''s delicate jade hand, a determined smile crossing his face.
