Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Pretending Too Well

"Young Master Lin Chen, between us, is it really just a matter of transaction?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Xia Wanxin felt an immense sense of loss.

She had hoped, deep down, that Lin Chen might harbor some special feelings for her, after all, she was exceedingly confident in her appearance and figure.

"Of course it’s just a transaction, what else could it be? Our transaction is completed now, and from this moment on, we should part ways. There’s no need for Miss Xia to follow me any longer."

Lin Chen certainly didn’t want Xia Wanxin following him around anymore, after all, who knew when it might result in a bad deal for Lin Chen.

"Young Master Lin Chen, we are both injured at this moment, why act alone? It would be better to move together and look out for each other."

Xia Wanxin fluttered her large eyes, looking at Lin Chen and made the suggestion.

Xia Wanxin had already witnessed Lin Chen’s strength, and in the hidden realm currently, sticking with Lin Chen was definitely better than her and the purple-robed maid wandering alone.

"Miss Xia, to be honest, if it weren’t for the two of you, I’d be able to take better care of myself alone."

Lin Chen looked at Xia Wanxin with a hint of treating her and the maid as burdens in his words.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wanxin brought her jade hands together, her fingers inadvertently starting to twirl.

In fact, Lin Chen was right, with Lin Chen’s strength, she and the purple-robed maid following him might actually hold him back.

"How about this, you said we have a transactional relationship, right? Then I’ll pay you to take us with you. You don’t have to go out of your way to look after us, just let us follow you. Everything else, you do your own thing, and we will do ours."

Xia Wanxin looked at Lin Chen and said lightly.

After speaking, Xia Wanxin threw over a spatial ring to Lin Chen, which surprisingly contained some valuable heavenly and earthly treasures.

Lin Chen accepted it, glanced at the treasures inside, and eventually consented to let Xia Wanxin and the purple-robed maid follow him.

After all, this was no loss to Lin Chen.

Thus, following behind Lin Chen, the two women and their companion began making their way upstream above the pool.

"Young Master Lin Chen, where are we headed to at this moment?"

Seeing Lin Chen leading them deeper into the pool, Xia Wanxin asked.

"We’re looking for a hidden place to heal and break through. We’ve arrived."

Lin Chen replied indifferently and couldn’t help stopping in his tracks.

Whoosh—

Immediately after, Lin Chen moved and headed towards the water curtain behind the pool.

Seeing this, the two women followed Lin Chen’s actions and entered the waterfall behind the pool.

Who would have known that behind the waterfall of this pool, there would be such a hidden cave?

This place was perfect in every way except that it was too cold.

Lin Chen circulated his spiritual power to instantly dry the wet clothes on his body, then took out several blocks of huge Red Sun Stones, instantly raising the temperature inside the cave considerably.

Then Lin Chen sat down cross-legged, taking out some heavenly and earthly treasures and formation flags, and began setting up a formation.

With more than a month left until the secret realm trial ended, Lin Chen hadn’t grabbed a single command token yet. So, if he wanted to seize others’ tokens in the time remaining, he needed to enhance his cultivation to the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Seeing Lin Chen start setting up formation again, and using even higher-grade materials than he had in the valley—including some fifth-grade materials—

"This guy is terrifying."

Xia Wanxin saw that Lin Chen had set up the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array in mere moments, moreover, he released ten stone sculpture puppets and another ten puppets made entirely of cold iron.

Unlike the stone sculpture puppets, those ten cold iron puppets started patrolling around, acting as if they possessed spiritual wisdom.

Xia Wanxin looked at Lin Chen in utter amazement, truly unable to fathom how many secrets Lin Chen held.

And now, should they encounter another attack from people like Qi Tianheng, if he activated the formation Lin Chen had set up, it would likely obliterate them on the spot.

Even a martial artist in the Half-Step Return to Void Realm like Qi Tianheng might be killed, let alone the possibility that its power could even eradicate Heavenly Human Realm experts—how terrifying would that be?

After setting up the killing array, Lin Chen had some stone sculpture puppets and cold iron puppets stand guard around him, acting as protectors.

Although Lin Chen felt that Xia Wanxin and the purple-robed maid probably wouldn’t backstab him, it’s better to be cautious. Plus, with the stone sculpture puppets at his disposal, it was natural to utilize them.

Then, Lin Chen took out a Bone-Transforming Pill, adjusted his condition, and prepared to make a breakthrough.

Just one day later, Lin Chen’s aura had returned to peak condition.

Meanwhile, Xia Wanxin and the purple-robed maid were using Lin Chen’s Scorching Sunstone to dry their clothes.

Behind the huge Scorching Sunstone, the two women didn’t worry about Lin Chen peeping at them.

But after Lin Chen recovered, with his strong Divine Soul, he had already sensed the revealing scene of the two women. For Lin Chen, this was the first time he saw such an enticing display from women.

Even when he was with Mu Qingxue, Lin Chen hadn’t indulged in carnal desires, so it could be said he was quite clueless about such matters.

At this moment, Lin Chen only felt a blaze of desire rising within him.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, Lin Chen’s figure flashed, and in the next moment, he appeared beside Xia Wanxin and the purple-robed maiden, swiftly forming a seal and imposing restrictions on both women.

Seeing Lin Chen instantly appear before them, the women hadn’t reacted yet when they found themselves bound by the restrictions he had placed, rendering them immobile.

At that moment, both women were dressed very thinly. As Lin Chen appeared, Xia Wanxin’s cheeks instantly flared with heat, whereas the purple-robed maiden was somewhat unfazed, being a servant she had heard about such matters of men and women in the palace.

"Young Master Lin Chen, what do you want to do!?"

Xia Wanxin was incredibly frightened at this moment, her mind immediately jumping to the conclusion that Lin Chen was about to take liberties with her and the purple-robed maid.

She had never expected Lin Chen to be such a master of disguise, to think that she had unwittingly given her heart to him.
