Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 358 Finale ②

Upon returning to Wutan City, Jing Chen did not immediately go to the Jialie family. The Jialie family was still unaware that the medicinal herbs had been destroyed. Once they received the news, that would be the best time for Jing Chen to make his move.

Although he no longer needs to go to the Jia Lie family, Jing Chen also doesn't plan to go to the Xiao family. As for the Xiao family... Jing Chen really doesn't have any feelings for them.

"Young master, where are we going next?" Cai Die asked.

Jing Chen thought for a moment, "Let's find a place anywhere in Wutan City and wait for news."

Jing Chen led Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die to a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ate while waiting. Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die enjoyed their meal, but Jing Chen ate very little, holding a cup of tea and observing everything in Wutan City.

The bustling city of Wutan appeared peaceful, but beneath the surface, undercurrents were stirring. Jing Chen noticed someone in the crowd who caught his attention. It wasn't that this person was particularly strange or suspicious.

Jing Chen's lips curled up slightly; the message... had arrived.

A person was running frantically through the crowd, heading directly towards Jia Lie's house. Jing Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. "The news has arrived."

"Huh? A message came?" Xuan Yuan Yi looked up, staring blankly at Jing Chen.

Jing Chen nodded and asked, "Are you full?"

Xuanyuan Yi and Caidie nodded, and Jing Chen led them into the crowd, disappearing instantly. As for the person in the crowd who had caught Jing Chen's attention... they were also gone.

Before long, Jing Chen and his companions reached the roof of Jia Lie's house. As soon as they arrived, Jing Chen heard what sounded like an argument inside. However, that wasn't his concern. He pulled Ling Yuan down from above and said to her, "Little one, go down and keep an eye on things for me. Call me if they leave."

Lingyuan nodded her little head, fluttered her little wings, and disappeared instantly.

As for Jing Chen, he needed to keep an eye on that person. Indeed, someone else had arrived just now, and was not far from them. The auras of Jing Chen and his companions were completely isolated, so that person was unaware of their presence.

Not long after, Ling Yuan returned. Chirping away, Jing Chen nodded, placed Ling Yuan back on his head, and in a flash, appeared on the rooftop opposite the alchemist's house. Now, Jing Chen only needed to quietly wait for his prey.

Not long after, the alchemists from the Jia Lie family arrived. Judging from their voices and footsteps, there seemed to be two of them. Two people… Jing Chen didn't care how many there were; as long as the target appeared…

The door opened, and Jing Chen squinted, carefully watching the person about to enter. Finally, the target appeared: the alchemist entered the room alone and immediately closed the door. It seemed that this alchemist would be alone in the room for quite some time.

Jing Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, just as he was about to have Xuan Yuan Yi make a move, but when the alchemist turned around, all three of them froze. This person… they had just seen him not long ago, wasn't he… Gu Ni from the Mittel Auction House? This…

Jing Chen was stunned. Gu Ni wasn't Mittel's person after all? What happened before...?

"Master, he..." Xuan Yuan Yi also recognized who this person was, and looked at Jing Chen with some hesitation.

Jing Chen was now at a loss. He didn't care about the Mittel family at all, but given the current situation...

"Never mind, Xuanyuan Yi, get ready to make a move," Jing Chen said.

Xuan Yuan Yi was preparing to strike when Gu Ni was completely off guard, aiming to kill her in one move. Gu Ni was lying on the bed, at her lowest point of alertness, when Xuan Yuan Yi was just about to make her move, but someone beat her to it. A streak of light rushed in, and Jing Chen, with lightning speed, grabbed Xuan Yuan Yi.

Xuanyuan Yi also realized what was happening and cautiously looked around the room.

Gu Ni, who was in the room, tensed up the moment someone appeared. But when she saw who it was, she relaxed again and said with a smile, "Xun'er, what brings you here? Couldn't wait?"

Jing Chen shook his head helplessly. This Gu Ni is really carefree. He's about to die and he's still so leisurely flirting with girls.

Xiao Xun'er was now enveloped in golden light, looking down at Gu Ni without saying a word. Gu Ni continued to court death, and Xiao Xun'er pretended not to hear what he said, seemingly considering how to send him on his way.

Xiao Xun'er remained silent, while Gu Ni chattered happily, rambling on and on. Jing Chen grew increasingly annoyed and wished he could end the conversation immediately, but Xun'er remained silent.

Xun'er could tolerate it, but Jing Chen couldn't. This guy was just too talkative. Jing Chen opened his right hand, and the Blue Silver Overlord Spear condensed in his right palm. Dark flames immediately climbed onto the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and after a slight gathering of power, he threw it directly at Gu Ni.

Xiao Xun'er sensed a powerful force coming from behind and dodged without thinking. The Blue Silver Overlord Spear flew straight towards Gu Ni. Before Gu Ni could react, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear pierced through his body. The spear, wreathed in dark flames, instantly engulfed Gu Ni's body. Before Xiao Xun'er could even understand what was happening, Gu Ni was burned to ashes by the dark flames.

Realizing what had happened, Xiao Xun'er immediately looked in the direction from which the Blue Silver Overlord Spear had come, but saw nothing. Not one to let the person who had attacked from behind escape, Xiao Xun'er got up and flew directly in that direction. Jing Chen also knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he turned and ran.

When he turned and ran, Xuanyuan Yi and Cai Die had already been delivered to the peach grove in Baihua Garden. He had to run faster by himself.

As he sensed the approaching presence behind him, Jing Chen became somewhat uneasy. What was this little girl doing? How could she run so fast? And how could she keep up with his speed?

"Stop! If you don't stop, I'm going to take action!" Xiao Xun'er shouted at Jing Chen.

Jing Chen knew that if he didn't get serious, he wouldn't be able to escape, so he stopped and assessed the situation. Jing Chen stopped on a rooftop, and Xiao Xun'er stopped as well.

Looking at the somewhat familiar figure in front of her, Xiao Xun'er asked, "Who are you? Why did you kill him?"

Jing Chen chuckled and slightly changed his tone, saying, "Didn't you want to kill him too? Since you haven't made a move for so long, I'll do it for you. But I do admire you; that guy was so noisy, yet you managed to put up with it for so long."

"Turn around!" Xiao Xun'er said.

Before Jing Chen could say anything, the kite on his head turned around and chirped at Xiao Xun'er. Jing Chen took the kite down from his head, gently stroking it with his fingers, and said with his back still to Xiao Xun'er, "Does it matter who I am?"

"I don't want to say it a second time, turn around!" Xiao Xun'er said.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "If I really wanted to escape, you wouldn't be able to catch me. And if we were to fight, you wouldn't be able to beat me either."

"..." Xiao Xun'er didn't speak, quietly looking at Jing Chen. Jing Chen said, "You can understand it as... I was entrusted by someone."

"Entrusted by someone? Jing Chen?" Xiao Xun'er asked.

Jing Chen chuckled softly, said nothing, and placed the spirit kite on his head again, preparing to leave. As Jing Chen released the kite, Xiao Xun'er noticed the ring on his hand. She clearly remembered those rings…were they Jing Chen's?

"Where did you get your ring?" Xiao Xun'er asked.

Jing Chen chuckled lightly, said nothing, and slipped away. Before Xiao Xun'er could react, Jing Chen had already disappeared.

"Jing Chen! You stop right there! Jing Chen!" At this moment, Xiao Xun'er realized who it was and shouted in the direction Jing Chen had run. Unfortunately, Jing Chen couldn't hear her, and even if he had, he wouldn't have stopped.
