"Sigh~"
With a long sigh, Su Chen rubbed his temples.
Seeing this, Green Vine tugged at Su Chen's sleeve and said, "Master, don't worry, you have Green Vine this lifetime."
As she spoke, she lifted her head to look at Su Chen, her eyes shimmering with anticipation. Her expression seemed as though she wanted to reveal her heart to him, stirring compassion in others.
"Alright!"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"Yay! Master has finally agreed to take Green Vine along!"
Hearing Su Chen's agreement, Green Vine jumped for joy, hugging his arm and bouncing excitedly.
Su Chen was speechless.
This tree spirit had lived for millions of years, yet her mind was still like a little girl's.
This girl's way of thinking is truly peculiar.
However, he didn't dwell on it, as this girl bore no malice toward him.
"Hiss~"
Perhaps Green Vine's overenthusiastic movement touched Su Chen's wound, causing him to suck in a sharp breath.
"Master, are you injured?"
Seeing this, Green Vine's pretty face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly supported Su Chen.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Su Chen shook his head and spoke casually.
In the earlier battle with the tunnel beast, he had indeed sustained internal injuries, though they weren't life-threatening.
Whoosh~
Green Vine waved her delicate hand, and a green liquid appeared in her palm, exuding a rich essence of life. "Master, open your mouth."
Seeing the green liquid in Green Vine's hand, Su Chen hesitated briefly before finally opening his mouth.
The green liquid flowed down his throat and spread through his body. Soon, he felt a warm current soothing his organs, nourishing his injuries and rejuvenating them with vitality.
Su Chen felt warmth enveloping him, and his wounds healed visibly quickly, even elevating his cultivation to the eighth level of the Divine Ability Realm.
"Green Vine, what did you just give me?"
Within half a moment, Su Chen had fully recovered from his injuries, even looking revitalized. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"My life essence." Green Vine blinked her watery eyes and replied sweetly.
"Life essence?!"
Hearing those words, Su Chen's pupils constricted in shock. "Isn't that your blood?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Hearing this, Green Vine tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
Su Chen, however, was deeply moved and stunned.
This little girl, whom he'd just met, had unhesitatingly given him her blood to heal his wounds.
Even though Su Chen prided himself on having a cold and unyielding heart, at this moment, he was touched.
In this world, besides his parents, only Green Vine—a tree spirit servant from his past lifetimes—would do such a thing for him.
Taking a deep breath, Su Chen suppressed his swirling emotions and said gravely, "Green Vine, I know you care for me, but if you give me your life essence, what will happen to you?"
His tone was full of concern, treating Green Vine as family. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
"Ah, it's fine. My life essence will regenerate over time." Green Vine giggled, seemingly indifferent to Su Chen's serious demeanor.
"Green Vine…"
Hearing this, Su Chen's face twitched, overwhelmed with emotion.
"Master, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Seeing the tears welling up in Su Chen's eyes, Green Vine was startled. She reached out her soft, jade-like finger to wipe them away, her expression filled with care.
"Nothing, just some demon wind in my eyes." Su Chen shook his head and lied.
"Demon wind? Where?"
Green Vine furrowed her delicate brows and looked around, trying to locate it.
Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. He then pulled Green Vine into his arms and sternly said, "From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to use your life essence. Understand?"
"Yes, Master."
Green Vine nestled against Su Chen's chest, her expression as content as a cat's.
Though she didn't understand why Su Chen suddenly became strict, she unconditionally obeyed him, as he was her world.
Finding the place safe, Su Chen decided to stay here and wait for Luo Shen to awaken before setting out with Green Vine.
Half an hour later, Luo Shen gradually woke up. However, her strength had only recovered to the first level of the Lesser Saint Realm.
It seemed that the green spirit source pearl had limited effects.
Su Chen immediately introduced Green Vine to Luo Shen.
When Luo Shen learned that Su Chen was the reincarnation of the Dragon God Emperor, she was shocked and stared at him with a complicated expression.
"Am I that handsome?"
Noticing Luo Shen's gaze, Su Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"Do you really remember nothing about your previous life as the Dragon God Emperor?"
Luo Shen's beautiful eyes fixated on Su Chen as she tentatively asked.
"Not at all. Was I famous in ancient times?" Su Chen froze, baffled.
"You were an ancient emperor who ascended to the Immortal Realm. Of course, you were famous. But you should be cautious."
As she spoke, Luo Shen pointed toward the void. "It's said that before you ascended, some powerful beings in the Immortal Realm used unknown means to issue a kill order to all cultivators of the Tianxuan Continent."
"What kind of kill order?" Su Chen asked urgently.
"Anyone who awakens the Dragon God Martial Soul is to be killed on sight!"
Luo Shen said seriously, "Furthermore, it's rumored that some powerful beings in the Immortal Realm managed to contact local families and forces in the Tianxuan Continent to spread this kill order."
"What?"
Hearing this, Su Chen's expression darkened, and a cold killing intent radiated from him. "Which families and forces?"
"From the Central State: the Nangong, Ouyang, Lin, and Sun families; the Seven Kings Palace; Thunder Sound Mountain; Ziwei Pavilion; and the Taiyi Sword Sect.
"From the Northern State: the Taicang and Beiyun families, Youming Valley, Wanfa Sect, and Qingyun Alliance.
"And it's said that even the Heavenly Dao Sect in Eastern Hua State joined in the later pursuit of the Dragon God Emperor."
"Damn it! Those bastards!"
Su Chen couldn't help but curse. He hadn't expected to have so many enemies in his past life or that people in the Immortal Realm were still waiting for him.
'Damn it! Can't a guy catch a break?'
"No, I can't sit idly by. Since those bastards want to kill me, I'll take them out first!" Su Chen thought for a moment and said fiercely.
"Don't rush. While those are your enemies, you also had many friends and allies back then. The Imperial clans like Taichu and Taihao, the Divine Maiden Sect in Central State, the Heavenly Demon Sect in Northern State, and the dragon clans in Western Monster State all supported you wholeheartedly."
Seeing Su Chen agitated, Luo Shen quickly reminded him, "So don't reveal your martial soul again in battle. I'm sure those in the Immortal Realm are already aware of your existence."
"Thank you."
Hearing Luo Shen's advice, Su Chen took a deep breath to calm himself and gave her a grateful look.
