Chapter 1188: A Gift of the Saints’ Frui (1/2)

Jian Chen and You Yue made their way to the top floor of the inn. The decor there was extremely different and did not match the extravagant building.

The inn was the one owned by Sans and his mother. Protected by the Changyang clan, it had turned into the most famous inns in the entire city from its initial form. There was no one who did not know where it was in the city, and its name had even rang through the kingdom.

However, Sans and his mother only wanted to live a simple life. They did not possess any wild ambitions, or their inn would be much more than it already was with the influence of the Changyang clan.

The top floor of the inn was where Sans and his mother stayed. Jian Chen only saw the aunty and not Sans. Only after asking did he learn that Sans had joined the Flame Mercenaries.

The aunty was an ordinary person and could not cultivate. She was in her early fifties, but she already seemed much older.

Jian Chen and You Yue talked with her for a while. He then asked, “Aunty, I have methods to change your constitution and let you undergo a rebirth. You will be able to cultivate just like us, and as long as you reach Earth Saint Master, your lifespan will greatly increase.” Kendall had saved Jian Chen’s life before. Since he was no longer around, Jian Chen planned on returning the kindness to her and Sans. As a result, Jian Chen was considerate down to the tiniest detail when dealing with the two of them.

If other people had heard what Jian Chen had said, they would definitely be ravish with joy. On the continent that advocated power, there was no one who did not wish to become powerful, as power represented status, glory, and wealth.

However, she was not moved at all. What Jian Chen said possessed no attraction to her. She shook her head and said, “I thank you for your kindness, but I just want to be an ordinary person and live a stable life. I want to wait for death so I can meet Kendall in the other world. He’s far too lonely there. I want to go and accompany him.” Sorrow filled her eyes and tears seem to pool in them.

Jian Chen fell silent. He knew that she had already learned about what happened to Kendall. Although he had always hid it, the truth could not be hidden. Coupled with the fact that Sans had already joined the Flame Mercenaries, the news of Kendall’s death was obviously impossible to hide.

You Yue went up and held her hands. She comforted, “Aunty, don’t get be so sad. Uncle may have left already, but you at least have Sans to accompany you in this world. You need to put yourself together and watch Sans mature properly.”

Jian Chen and You Yue comforted her. They said a lot to her, staying there for four whole hours before leaving.

Jian Chen was very silent on the way back. He worried very much about her inside while You Yue obediently followed beside him. She affectionately clung to his arm, accompanying him in silence. Her eyes were filled with her gentle nature.

Jian Chen sighed gently upon returning to the clan. He wanted to change her fate, but she chose to live a simple life, which filled him with helplessness.

“Since aunty has made the decision herself, we should support her silently,” Jian Chen softly decided. Fighters had their world, and mortals had their happiness. He understood it all now. Thinking back to the times when he had ventured through wind and rain, a simple life would have been quite happy actually.

You Yue arrived beside him and gently hugged him. She stared at Jian Chen affectionately and gently said, “Jian Chen, there are many ordinary people who are much happier than us. If you’re willing, I want to live an ordinary person’s life with you. The world of fighters is filled with unavoidable fights and battles to the death. It really is very tiring.”

Jian Chen gently placed his arm around her thin waist as the fragrance from her hair hit his nose. He said, “Yue’er, once we get through all the struggles of the Tian Yuan Continent, we’ll find a beautiful, desolate place to settle down like hermits. We won’t ever bother with the matters of the continent after that, okay?”

You Yue raised her head to look at Jian Chen in surprise and delight. Anticipation filled her face and she firmly nodded, “I do hope that that day can come sooner.”

Jian Chen’s lips perked up as he smiled. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead before he said, “But we need to have enough strength to deal with the situation in front of us in order to live a life like that. Yue’er, I’ll visit Mercenary City immediately. I’ll leave the safety of the clan to you.”

You Yue immediately became gloomy when she heard that Jian Chen would be leaving again. She stared at him, unwilling to part with him, and said, “I hope you come back soon.”

Jian Chen nodded in agreement before finding Changyang Zu Yunxiao. He asked him to create a Space Gate to Mercenary City.
