Chapter 268: Infinite Flow: Saving the Crazy Beautiful Person 27

After Jin Chen chased the black aura out of the courtyard, he saw that it seemed purposeful, continually leading him farther away.

He naturally wouldn't fall for the trick.

He simply turned his spiritual power into a rope, thereby forcing the black aura back.

What a joke—if he ran that far, what if something happened to his wife!

"Anyin, long time no see."

Jin Chen sensed a hint of familiarity in the black aura, his tone slightly sarcastic: "You've sunk this low."

Black aura: "......"

It gradually transformed into a human face, which turned out to be Anyin's visage.

"As expected, you already know it's me."

"Yo, still playing with avatars? If you're so capable, why not send your true self in to kill me instead of just a divine sense?"

Jin Chen stretched lazily, his tone suddenly relaxed, as if catching up with an old friend.

"At least you used to be my minister—how dare you not even show your true self to see me? Let me guess——"

Could it be that you can't enter this world privately without White Marsh's authorization? Oh dear, what a waste, Esteemed Minister.

The black aura flailed about chaotically, as if angry; Anyin's face, which could be called handsome, began to become especially distorted.

"Jin Chen! You know my target isn't you! Why bother opposing me?"

"You're sick—your target is Chenshu, what's the difference to me?"

Jin Chen rolled his eyes.

"That's enough catching up—now let's get to the activity segment."

He snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a barrier took shape.

Inside the barrier, Jin Chen did not restrain his spiritual power.

Although he spoke lightly, he understood that Anyin could rise to the position of vice minister; even a mere wisp of divine sense avatar, once fused with the black aura, was still not to be underestimated.

Only in that fleeting moment midair did Jin Chen make out the shape within the black mist.

As if wrapped in rubbery skin, the flesh blurred; through the ruined, disgusting skin, the organs continued to throb slowly.

"Tsk, even a big shot would rather hide in such a hideous thing."

Jin Chen shook his head in lament, dodged its attack with a flick, leapt into the air and spun, delivering a flying kick that shoved the nearest black aura aside.

At the same time, the spiritual power condensed in his hand shot out again, sinking into its head like a bullet.

"Too slow, Esteemed Minister—your strength is really getting weaker and weaker."

The black aura was easily suppressed, yet Anyin showed no panic—or rather, he was deliberately letting Jin Chen catch him.

Jin Chen quickly reacted, flashing to the side of the barrier wall, distancing himself from that mass of black aura.

【Host!! Hehehehe! He seems about to self-destruct! This won't do! This little world will also blow up with it! Little Pitiful One's soul will also be gone!】

Quite a self-destruct.

Jin Chen's pupils flickered, 【0731, summon the replica.】

【Oh! Okay!】

With a shift of light and shadow, another Jin Chen appeared before him—only his eyes were slightly dimmer; otherwise there was no difference.

Jin Chen allocated a portion of his divine sense to the replica.

Then he flickered away, vanishing inside the barrier.

"Anyin, let's talk."

The replica's face broke into a smile identical to Jin Chen's.

The black aura twitched, but ultimately halted its self‑destruct sequence.

Killing Jin Chen along with it would naturally be good; otherwise, that esteemed one…

Anyin's face reappeared, asking, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to talk about Chenshu."

The replica approached without changing expression, until only half an arm's length separated it from the black aura.

He bent over, his gaze sharp and fierce.

"Foolish thing."

In the next instant, golden light burst forth.

Strands of light wrapped around the black aura, tightening the barrier.

Anyin finally realized he had been outplayed by Jin Chen.

It couldn't believe it: "You'd use a soul‑self‑destruct to stop me? You don't even like Chenshu—are you really willing to let his fragments remain forever uncollected?"

"Exactly."

Jin Chen's voice came again from behind him.

Outside the barrier, he waved friendly at Anyin.

"How could you be worth my suicide?"

Anyin's eyes widened, and he turned his head once more to look at Jin Chen before him.

What's going on!

Even as a puppet, how could it have a fully powered clone brimming with spiritual power!

The replica glanced at the barrier, which was almost finished contracting, then at Jin Chen, and both nodded slightly at the same time.

"No——"

Anyin felt an unprecedented impact; even if his divine sense was injured, the damage from the explosion of his spiritual power sea was enough to severely wound his true form.

Barrier contraction completed, clone and An Yin disappeared together.

Jin Chen landed steadily, saw Nanyu open the courtyard Main Gate and run toward him.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -30, total 20!】

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 5, total 90!】

He rubbed his nose, then suddenly asked.

【Bai Ze's gifted clone is so powerful, An Yin didn't even know of its existence, how many points?】

【Wow—Host, 150,000 points!】

0731 was extremely surprised; if Chenshu were still in the Quick Transmigration Bureau, these points, though expensive, would not be unattainable, but now all points have been halved, going to repair the spiritual terminal, making 150,000 seem especially large.

It suddenly felt, being able to do missions together with the Bureau Chief's wife is really great!

Of course, it's fine as long as Jin Chen doesn't hear this.

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, quickly suppressed his emotions, spread his arms and embraced the rushing Nanyu.

Then he was almost choked by the strong smell of blood.

He slightly moved aside, pinched Nanyu's face.

"How many people have you killed? The smell of blood is so strong."

"Oh my, just one—I only killed Hexian."

"It's just that I bled a bit more."

Nanyu raised his arm and sniffed himself; it seemed a bit stronger.

"No matter what, don't despise me."

He clung tightly to Jin Chen.

"Not despising, where would I dare?" Jin Chen, helpless, embraced him and also saw Zhaoling walk out.

"Is it all over?"

"Mm-hmm!" Nanyu nodded, "The tavern old lady is actually the mountain god of Qing Shan Zhai!"

"I know." Jin Chen was very calm.

That afternoon waiting for Nanyu to wake up, he had basically figured out the whole plot.

Nanyu:??

He suddenly grabbed Jin Chen's cheeks with both hands and pulled outward, "How do you know this too?! No, do it again!"

When Zhaoling walked over, she saw Jin Chen with an exaggerated expression, hugging Nanyu and exclaiming in shock.

"Shocking! The tavern old lady is actually the mountain god of Qing Shan Zhai! Unthinkable!"

Nanyu was teased by him to the point of laughing, leaning sideways into his embrace.

Zhaoling: "......"

She silently stepped back half a step.

"The old lady has already taken the female corpses and ghosts back to the shadow tower, the seal formation is broken, so they can be considered free."

Nanyu nodded, "The old lady didn't originally want to kill us; she just picked up a dead person's head—how kind, how kind."

Zhaoling continued, "Um, I didn't hear the instance announce the mission end notice; I guess we still have to stay for seven full days, you guys......"

〖Congratulations to players Jin Chen, Nanyu, Zhaoling, successfully clearing the trial game instance《Qing Shan Zhai》

Earned 1000 points, reward items have been distributed to player storage; please check.

Looking forward to players' next game. 〗

Zhaoling pressed her lips tightly, feeling especially weary.

Before the three of them appeared the Bai Guang Da Men.

"I'm leaving now, goodbye."

Zhaoling was the first to wave at the two of them, stepping into the Main Gate.
