Jiang Chen gave a wry smile. "Not many, only three women: Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Qing. You've met all of them."
"Then there are still men?" Hu Liena recalled the extremely difficult scenes she had seen in the Slaughter City, and suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.
Jiang Chen walked to the bed and forcefully pressed her down to lie down.
"The man is the new disciple that Ghost Douluo recently accepted. Rest assured, I am completely innocent with them."
"Sleep quickly. You were very tired today too."
Hu Liena finally closed her eyes in peace. She didn't blame Jiang Chen; there were just some things she had to defend.
Jiang Chen being willing to be so honest with her today already made her very happy.
After Hu Liena's breathing gradually became steady, Jiang Chen activated his Heavenly Punishment Eye to observe her injuries.
Although his Heavenly Punishment Eye no longer had offensive energy, it could still be used for clairvoyance.
The gentle medicinal power from the healing pill she had just taken was now fully concentrated on the injured bones, rapidly repairing them.
Jiang Chen sighed. Even with the healing pill, Hu Liena's injuries would take at least ten days to half a month to recover.
During this time, he could not possibly go out; he had to stay here to protect Hu Liena properly.
If they needed food, Xiao Qing would have to go buy it.
Jiang Chen lay on the sofa and slept for ten hours before finally waking up.
After fighting all day yesterday, his exhausted spirit had finally recovered.
Hu Liena had woken up long ago and had been sitting on the bed staring at Jiang Chen in a daze for quite a while.
"Little Chen, the sofa isn't comfortable. You should sleep up here from now on."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No need. I usually only need a short rest. I only slept this long because I was exhausted from yesterday's battle."
"The restaurant should be open now. I'll have Xiao Qing go get some food."
"Mm."
Jiang Chen went downstairs and told Xiao Qing to go to the enforcer area to get food.
Xiao Qing's attire today had become very proper; it seemed Hu Liena's words from yesterday had taken effect.
"Yes, Master. I'll be back very soon."
Xiao Qing responded and quickly went out the door.
Jiang Chen helped Hu Liena go wash up a bit.
"Little Chen, I… need to pee." Hu Liena suddenly said shyly.
Yesterday, she had been a little happy when Jiang Chen helped her clean, but now she felt somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Chen also felt a bit awkward, but still asked, "Big or small?"
Hu Liena lowered her head, her voice like a mosquito: "Both."
"Alright, I'll help you."
...
...
Jiang Chen helped Hu Liena back out.
"Little Chen, thank you." Hu Liena felt extremely moved in her heart.
Even for something like this, Jiang Chen was willing to do it for her.
"Don't say such silly things. Maybe one day I'll get injured too, and then I'll need you to take care of me," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"No matter what I do for you, I will never dislike it," Hu Liena quickly replied.
"Mm, take another pill." Jiang Chen took out the medicine.
The medicinal effect from yesterday's pill had already been fully absorbed by Hu Liena.
Jiang Chen saw that her injuries had clearly improved; the bones had begun to grow back, and the cracks were gradually disappearing.
If it were only superficial injuries, it wouldn't affect their strength at all.
This kind of bone injury had to heal as soon as possible, or it would waste a lot of their time.
The two sat down on the sofa, with Hu Liena's legs resting on the tea table in front.
Jiang Chen frowned. Xiao Qing had been gone for half an hour already. Logically, going there and back shouldn't take this long.
"Xiao Qing might be in trouble."
Hu Liena also realized. "She's been gone so long."
Jiang Chen stood up. "I'll go take a look."
He quickly walked to the balcony outside. Activating his Heavenly Punishment Eye, he saw Xiao Qing covered in blood, running desperately in this direction; she was almost at the building downstairs.
Behind Xiao Qing, more than a dozen Fallen Ones were chasing her.
Jiang Chen's heart surged with rage, terrifying killing intent erupting. His figure shot out, lightly tapping a few times on the rooftops of the buildings along the street, descending downward.
Xiao Qing was fleeing in a sorry state, her line of sight already catching sight of that white little building.
"As long as I get back there, Master will definitely avenge me." Hatred filled her heart.
As soon as she had left the enforcer area, she had been ambushed by more than a dozen people. If it were the old her, she would already be dead.
But her body had been transformed by Jiang Chen; she was no longer the same as before. She had forcibly broken out from the hands of more than ten Soul Emperor-level powerhouses.
"Stop her! Don't let her return to that great demon's side!" Someone shouted from behind.
"You all deserve to die!" Jiang Chen descended from the sky.
The faces of these people changed drastically; they didn't dare say a word and turned to flee.
Jiang Chen's expression was ice-cold. Killing these people was as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs.
His gaze coldly swept around, and an icy voice rang out: "Whoever dares to touch my people, even if it's a Soul Douluo, I will kill without mercy!"
"Master…" Xiao Qing felt moved, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Absorb him." Jiang Chen lifted one Soul Emperor who was still not quite dead.
"Yes."
Xiao Qing was amazed to find that her recovery speed had already become much faster than before. Now, after absorbing the blood, she recovered even more quickly.
The injuries that would originally have taken several days to heal could probably be recovered in just a few hours.
A moment later, the two returned to the residence.
Hu Liena also saw Xiao Qing's miserable state and couldn't help feeling some sympathy.
"Master, this is your food." Xiao Qing took out several portions of food from her soul guide device.
"Mm. Go treat your injuries first, then come find me afterward," Jiang Chen instructed.
"Little Chen, is Xiao Qing alright?" Hu Liena asked worriedly.
"She's fine. This kind of injury, she'll recover very quickly. Let's eat first."
The incident with Hu Liena and Xiao Qing made Jiang Chen understand that it wasn't enough for him alone to be powerful; the people around him also had to become strong.
He planned to spend most of each day sparring with Xiao Qing in actual combat. After Hu Liena recovered, she would also need to join the training.
Only through constant improvement could they survive in the cruel Slaughter City.
...
Half a month later, Jiang Chen and Xiao Qing were frantically sparring on the spacious balcony.
Jiang Chen's attacks varied endlessly: sometimes fierce and domineering, sometimes strange and cunning, sometimes astonishingly fast…
In short, he could basically imitate all types of opponents, targeting Xiao Qing's weaknesses for training.
Hu Liena had watched from the side for half a month and had gained many insights.
She was only waiting for her injuries to heal so she could spar with Jiang Chen and verify the ideas in her mind.
"Alright, let's rest for ten minutes," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Mm." Xiao Qing responded and went to sit on a chair to the side.
Jiang Chen returned to the room and took a sip of water.
"Little Chen." Hu Liena hopped over.
"What is it?"
"I want to go pee."
"Mm." Jiang Chen subconsciously replied.
But soon, he remembered something, and his gaze focused on Hu Liena's lower leg.
He clearly saw that the previously shattered bones had fully regrown. Even if Hu Liena wasn't suited for combat yet, normal movement should be no problem.
He looked at Hu Liena's face and noticed her gaze flickering evasively.
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. He circled behind Hu Liena and unceremoniously slapped down with his large hand.
Pa!
A crisp sound rang out; even Xiao Qing outside heard it.
Hu Liena cried out in surprise, instinctively taking a few steps forward before walking inside with a flushed face.
Her little trick had actually been seen through by Jiang Chen. It was truly too embarrassing.
Jiang Chen wasn't angry; instead, he felt a bit of aftertaste.
That astonishing elasticity, that feeling, it really was amazing.
