Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Beautiful Woman

"Is this... Divine Sense? So clear!" Chen Fan exclaimed.

He tried to extend his Divine Sense outward, only to find that it covered a mere ten-meter radius.

"A normal Golden Core Realm expert, upon unlocking Divine Sense, starts with a range of at least one hundred meters, and here I am, merely at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, able to activate Divine Sense is already rare, having a ten-meter range isn’t bad either."

The range of Divine Sense would improve with the advancement of cultivation level, so Chen Fan was not disappointed, but rather extremely excited.

"From now on in battle, as long as I activate my Divine Sense, every movement, every detail of the enemy will be clearly observed by me, doubtlessly greatly increasing my chances of defeating opponents."

He observed the situation within a ten-meter radius using his Divine Sense, deliberately avoiding the couple downstairs.

At this moment, the beautiful woman in the room next door moved away from the window and walked toward the center of the room.

Chen Fan noticed that the chandelier’s screws in that room were loose, poised to fall at any moment.

"Stop!" The situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to use Divine Sense to transmit his voice; otherwise, if the chandelier fell, it would likely kill the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman, hearing the voice next to her ear, showed a hint of confusion in her eyes and stopped in her tracks.

She looked around, confirming she was alone in the room.

"Imagining things?" She glanced at the wineglass in her hand, "My tolerance for alcohol is getting worse, probably because it’s been too long since I’ve been with a man."

Thinking this, she intended to continue walking forward.

Just then, the screws of the chandelier completely came loose, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Bang!

The beautiful woman was startled and quickly retreated, her drunkenness completely dissipating.

"This..."

It took her a while to recover, recalling the voice that had just sounded next to her ear; if not for that voice, she might have already been smashed to death.

"Was it a divine spirit showing mercy?" The beautiful woman murmured to herself and then knelt on the ground, praying devoutly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "To ordinary people, I do indeed seem no different from a divine spirit now."

He withdrew his Divine Sense and continued to cultivate.

The next day.

Chen Fan left the Mingyue Hotel and headed for Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, planning to see how the acquisition of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals was progressing.

"In a few months, Qingfan Pharmaceuticals will be able to secure its place as the leader of the pharmaceutical industry. By then, I can open a branch in my hometown, and contribute to the development of my home."

They say it’s like walking in brocade at night if wealth and honor do not reach your hometown.

Now that Chen Fan had achieved success and fame, he wanted to return in a high-profile manner.

Nothing could bring more pride than contributing to the development of one’s hometown, so Chen Fan planned to bring a branch of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals to boost the economy of Pingyun County when he returned.

"However, the Martial Arts tournament is just over a month away, so the return to Pingyun County will have to wait until after the tournament is over."

Through this period of cultivation, Chen Fan felt his strength had steadily improved, but a breakthrough was still far off.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment Realm was not comparable to the Qi Refinement Realm, and even though he had a great amount of Innate Spiritual Liquid, it could only be used for daily cultivation. To breakthrough, he still needed Heaven and Earth Treasures that contained the essence of the world.

Thus, the Thousand-Year Elixir that was the first-place prize of the Martial Arts tournament was particularly important to him.

"Whether I can break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment depends on this Martial Arts tournament."

Muttering to himself, Chen Fan no longer dwelled on it and headed toward the company building after getting off the bus.

The bus stop was across the street, and he needed to cross a road to get to the company’s entrance.

While he was waiting for the traffic light, he saw the beautiful woman whom he had saved with his Divine Sense the previous night. She was squatting in front of a dirty, crying child, patiently comforting him.

She and the child were within ten meters of Chen Fan, who, out of curiosity, released his Divine Sense to listen to what they were talking about.

Chen Fan soon learned that the dirty child had been abandoned by his parents. The beautiful woman operated an educational institution and owned a philanthropic welfare school. The child had been in complete despair and had thought about running into the street to be hit by a car, ending his tragic life. However, he was saved by the benevolent woman.

The woman promised the child that she would take him to her philanthropic welfare school to start a new life.

"Beautiful and kind-hearted," Chen Fan contemplated, "the phrase must be referring to people like her."

Just then, the green light came on and Chen Fan intended to cross the street.

At that moment, he noticed a motorbike out of control, speeding toward the direction of the beautiful woman.

"Get out of the way! Move! My brakes have failed!" the motorcyclist shouted.

The woman squatted on the ground, and as she saw the motorbike coming toward her, her pupils shrank, and instinctively, she held the child tightly in her arms.

Chen Fan assessed that the motorbike would inevitably hit the woman.

"What goes around comes around" was a principle Chen Fan firmly believed in; a good person should not suffer from such injustice.

Without hesitation, he flashed in front of the woman.

As the out-of-control motorcycle bore down upon them, he raised his hand and slapped it, bringing it to an immediate halt.

A loud bang resounded.

The front of the motorcycle crumpled into a heap, and the driver was thrown into the green space nearby.

Everyone around was stunned.

"A... superhero?"

"Don’t be ridiculous, he is a Martial Arts master from our Huaxia, not something those foreigners could imagine."

"That was incredible, that motorcycle was going at least a hundred kilometers per hour!"

...

The beautiful woman held the child tightly, her eyes closed.

She had thought the motorcycle would run her over.

But after a long time, apart from hearing a loud bang, there was no other noise, which puzzled her.

It was only when she lifted her head that she realized someone had stopped the motorcycle, and it hadn’t hit her.

She quickly moved the child to a safe spot, then turned around and, upon seeing Chen Fan flatten the motorcycle’s front end with his bare hands, she was so shocked that her mouth fell open.

"Thank... thank you," she said.

Chen Fan turned around, giving the woman a smile, "No need to be polite."

Upon hearing his voice, the woman was taken aback, and then her eyes widened gradually, "You... you’re the person who warned me last night!"

Chen Fan was somewhat astonished, not expecting the woman to recognize his voice. Pretending not to understand, he said, "What are you talking about? This is the first time we’ve met today."

The woman was certain, "Although it’s the first time we’ve met, it was definitely you who saved me last night. I’ve been thinking about your voice all night; I couldn’t possibly mistake it. Do you stay at Mingyue Hotel?"

Seeing how certain the woman was, Chen Fan could only nod awkwardly, "Alright, last night that was me."

The woman’s face was full of gratitude, "You saved my life last night, and again today, I really don’t know how to thank you."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, then looked up to scrutinize the woman, asking, "Have you always been this unlucky?"
