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

Chapter 605 Take Action!

After saying that, Jing Chen casually picked up a jade pendant from the counter and fiddled with it, his tone completely nonchalant.

Upon hearing this, the maid's face stiffened. This was the first time she had heard anyone speak ill of the Mo family in Yancheng. Now she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to laugh or not.

Seeing the maid's expression, Jing Chen felt bored and casually placed the jade pendant on the counter, turning to leave. Just as Jing Chen was about to turn around, a dark shadow suddenly swung fiercely from behind, finally landing heavily on the counter with a loud thud.

Immediately afterward, a woman's cold laugh came from Jing Chen's left: "Where did this bumpkin come from? How dare he speak ill of the Mo family in Yancheng?"

Hearing this clearly somewhat arrogant voice, a hint of impatience flashed in Jing Chen's eyes. He turned around and looked at the group of people not far away. Among this group, the leader was wearing a red bodysuit, and her voluptuous figure was quite alluring. Her pair of snow-white thighs were exposed under her thigh-length leather skirt.

Jing Chen could also clearly feel that almost everyone in the hall glanced at those long, snow-white legs at the same time, and their eyes all showed a hint of drooling.

Jing Chen glanced casually at the woman in red holding the long sash, and immediately recognized her. Wasn't this the woman in front of him, the one who had led a group of people at breakneck speed at the city gate? She was known as the Second Miss of the Mo Family.

Jing Chen glanced casually at the arrogant second young lady, then lost all interest. He chuckled, shook his head, and turned to leave.

"Boy, you're asking for death!" Seeing Jing Chen's disregard for her, the red-clad woman, who had always been treated like a treasure by everyone, immediately raised her eyebrows and lashed out with her long whip, turning into a black shadow as she fiercely lashed out at Jing Chen.

Just as the whip was about to strike Jing Chen's back, a strange blue flame suddenly ignited. The intense heat not only burned the whip to ashes, but also sent a faint blue flame hurtling towards the woman in red.

As soon as the blue flames appeared, the temperature inside the hall suddenly rose significantly.

Among the people in the hall were many knowledgeable individuals, who, upon seeing the blue flames, exclaimed in surprise, "Real fire!?"

A thin wisp of blue flame shot straight toward the red-clad woman's cheek amidst the crowd's horror. It seemed that if she were hit, even if she miraculously survived, her beautiful face would likely be disfigured.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with horror as the woman in red stared in terror at the flames that were growing larger and larger in her pupils. She wanted to dodge, but how could she possibly dodge with her strength? At that moment, she could only stand there dumbly, letting the blue flames shoot towards her.

Just as the blue flames were about to strike the woman in red, a shadow suddenly flashed in from outside, grabbed the woman in red, and then shot away, dodging the blue flames.

The azure flame, having missed its target, struck the azure rock sculpture directly behind where the woman in red had stood. In an instant, amidst the horrified gazes of those around, the hard rock sculpture dissolved into a pool of liquid.

"Hiss!" Everyone in the hall gasped as they gazed at the terrifying power of that wisp of flame, then turned their shocked gazes toward the indifferent black-robed youth at the counter.

"Young man, please stop!" A middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward from one end of the hall, followed by the pale-faced woman in red. Clearly, the one who had just saved the woman in red was this middle-aged man.

Looking indifferently at the middle-aged man who stood a few feet behind and did not take another step forward, Jing Chen simply tilted his head slightly. A wisp of blue flame suddenly appeared on his slender fingers, like a mischievous child playing between Jing Chen's fingers.

"Young brother, Ling Lin was too impulsive earlier. Please, for the sake of the Mo family, don't hold it against her anymore." The middle-aged man, his scalp tingling, stared at the wisp of blue flame between Jing Chen's eyes and said politely with his fists clasped.

"Oh? The Mo family?" A slight smirk played on Jing Chen's lips as he glanced at the middle-aged man, whose strength was roughly at the Dou Shi level. He sneered, "Keep an eye on your family. Don't think that just because the Mo family has the Yunlan Sect backing them, they can do whatever they want. If they ever offend someone they shouldn't, even the Yunlan Sect might not be able to protect you!"

The boy's cold laughter echoed throughout the hall, shocking everyone with his arrogant words. They glanced at the wisp of blue flame at Jing Chen's fingertip, then at Hai Bodong standing silently behind him, and wisely chose to remain silent.

To possess such terrifying azure flames at such a young age—no one would believe it without the help of a super-strong expert. And if the boy truly had such a powerful backer, then what he said earlier wouldn't have been a lie.

"Hehe, young brother is right. After I return today, I will have the patriarch punish Ling Lin properly." This middle-aged man was clearly not a reckless man, and he did not show any anger at the moment. Instead, he smiled obsequiously.

After glancing at the middle-aged man, Jing Chen's gaze shifted to the pretty woman in red behind him. As if sensing Jing Chen's gaze, the previously arrogant second young lady of the Mo family turned deathly pale and quickly shrank behind the middle-aged man, as if that wisp of blue flame would strike her again at any moment. Her timid appearance was hardly befitting of the second young lady of the Mo family.

As Jing Chen slowly withdrew his hand back into his black robe, preparing to turn and leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and said extremely politely, "Gentlemen, all the inns in Yancheng have been booked by the Mo family recently. Even if you searched the entire city, you wouldn't find a place to rest. So, to apologize, I've ordered two of our most luxurious rooms to be prepared for you immediately. Would you accept this as a token of the Mo family's apology?"

Jing Chen paused slightly in his steps, turning his head to look at the rather smooth-talking middle-aged man. He exchanged a glance with Hai Bodong, then said to the man without any politeness, "Lead the way."

"Uh..." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them acting so decisively. He quickly came to his senses, comforted the woman in red behind him, and then followed them.

Watching Jing Chen and his companion slowly disappear at the top of the stairs, the tense atmosphere in the hall instantly eased considerably, and low whispers began to circulate. They were all likely wondering about the origins of these mysterious figures.
