Chapter 2307: A Change in Attitude (1/2)
Compared to Donglin Yanxue, who had become embarrassed like a young lady, Jian Chen was extremely calm. His breathing was steady, and his mind was at ease.
He slid his left hand under Donglin Yanxue’s arms, allowing her shoulder blades to rest on them while he placed his right arm under her knees. With a little power, he lifted up Donglin Yanxue’s hourglass figure again.
Donglin Yanxue immediately stiffened. Although she had cultivated for quite a long time now, her mental state was still of a young lady around twenty years old. Even just making contact with men with her hands made her blush, let alone being carried by one.
As a result, Donglin Yanxue’s face and ears glowed bright red. Since Jian Chen was holding her so close, her head was basically pressed against Jian Chen’s chest. She could even smell the unique scent of a man from Jian Chen’s body.
In that moment, Donglin Yanxue only felt dizzy as her head blanked out.
Jian Chen remained at ease. He condensed a pair of wings from Radiant Saint Force on his back, and as they flapped, he flew along the ground with Donglin Yanxue. He only demonstrated the abilities that a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore should possess.
“I hope Qing Shan doesn’t come soon, or I’ll probably have to expose myself before Donglin Yanxue.” Even though he had a beauty in his arms, Jian Chen did not think too much about it. He only prayed inside with some worry.
Donglin Yanxue played a direct role in whether he could enter the Tower of Radiance or not, so she could not die here.
However, Donglin Yanxue was already heavily injured now. She could not even perform simple actions, so if Qing Shan really came in pursuit at a time like this, she definitely would not be able to endure a single strike from him. Jian Chen would have to stand forward.
However, Donglin Yanxue had woken up now. If he revealed his strength before Donglin Yanxue, he would definitely be exposed.
As a result, Qing Shan following him was the thing that worried Jian Chen the most right now.
Donglin Yanxue gradually calmed down as Jian Chen carried her. Even though she was very reluctant about the entire matter, she knew that she could change nothing. As a result, she could only slowly accept the reality of Jian Chen carrying her.
Donglin Yanxue studied Jian Chen silently. When she discovered he was only focusing on covering ground and had no other thoughts, her opinion of Jian Chen changed slightly once again.
“Although he became my protector with the intention of getting close to me, at least he isn’t like the eight protectors, abandoning me when I face death. When I was injured by Qing Shan and fell unconscious, he didn’t abandon me and flee all by himself either…” Donglin Yanxue thought. Unbeknownst to even Donglin Yanxue herself, her impression of Jian Chen had improved.
Even her opposition to Jian Chen carrying her was reduced.
At this moment, Donglin Yanxue sniffed Jian Chen’s chest firmly, and she immediately became surprised. She thought, “There’s the smell of blood.” Afterwards, for some reason, she unexpectedly pulled apart the clothing on Jian Chen’s chest. Immediately, a few hideous wounds appeared.
Jian Chen naturally received some injuries during his fight against Qing Shan. Some of the wounds had completely recovered under the powerful regeneration of the Chaotic Body, without even leaving a scar behind. However, some of the heavier wounds had not closed up completely due to the limited time.
Although he had changed into a set of clean clothes as quickly as he could, he was unable to wash away the smell of blood on him. In the end, Donglin Yanxue smelt it and found the wounds immediately.
