The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Su Chen slept until noon before waking up. He stretched his body comfortably and realized that Xiao Yushi was still sleeping.
Xiao Yushi, who was sleeping soundly, had a serene and sweet expression. She was so beautiful that it didn't feel real. She was like an elf queen that walked out from a game's CG. Her skin was white and flawless. Even when she was lying down, her impressive figure was fully revealed.
Su Chen swallowed his saliva and his hands started to move up her body.
"Master, we caught an assassin outside the door."
Zi Yaoyao's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Su Chen's interest that was just aroused was instantly dispelled.
After putting on his clothes, Su Chen walked out of the door and asked doubtfully, "Assassin?
Isn't this too daring?
In the Su Residence, there was Su Chen, Xiao Yushi, Kong Lingxuan, Mu Xiangxue, Tong Lixian, Magma Beast, and six Sea Reincarnation Realm experts. There was also Meow Meow, the Netherworld Spirit Cat. If this force was fully unleashed, even Kong Miaoyin wouldn't be able to stop it. In the entire Eastern Sea Region, there wasn't a second place that was more impregnable than the Su Residence.
Coming to his territory to cause trouble, did they forget to check the almanac?
"Bring me to see which assassin is so daring." Su Chen said.
Zi Yaoyao immediately led the way. After a while, Su Chen saw the assassin that was pinned to the ground by Magma Tiger.
"Xu Canglan?"
Su Chen was stunned. Wasn't this the Lord of Canglan, Xu Canglan?
When Xu Canglan saw Su Chen, he immediately revealed an awkward and distressed expression, "Brother Su Chen, it's a misunderstanding. I'm not an assassin. I'm here specially to visit you."
"Nonsense. Who would climb over the wall to visit?" Zi Yaoyao immediately scolded.
Xu Canglan's face was filled with bitterness, "I was afraid of being rejected."
Su Chen blushed with shame.
He waved his hand and said to Magma Tiger, "Let him go."
"Roar!"
Magma Tiger slapped Xu Canglan away with its paw and returned to its nest to sleep.
Xu Canglan hurriedly tidied up his clothes and bowed to Su Chen. "Greetings, Brother Su Chen. When we parted in the Holy Region, Canglan worked hard to catch up with you. However, as time passed, I found that the gap between you and Canglan was getting bigger and bigger. I'm very ashamed."
"You came all the way here just to tell me this?" Su Chen said in annoyance.
Xu Canglan quickly shook his head. "Brother Su, do you still remember the three-year agreement we made that day?"
Su Chen recalled that back then, he had planned on using Xu Canglan, Jiang Bufan, and Li Xuan to deal with the mysterious person from the Divine Heavens Sect. However, the plan changed later. Wei Zhuo from the Divine Heavens Sect was too powerful, and Su Chen could only escape the danger by escaping.
However, at that time, Xu Canglan and the other two had not appeared in the Northern Profound Continent.
It was probably because they knew that Su Chen's strength had improved rapidly that they did not dare to challenge him.
"Why? Do you want to challenge me now?" Su Chen chuckled.
Xu Canglan's body trembled in fear. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I wouldn't dare. Brother Su is now a popular person by the Peacock Bright Monarch's side. How would Canglan dare to challenge Brother Su? This time, I came to shamelessly ask for Brother Su's help."
Su Chen was stunned. So that was how the outside world saw him?
Well, at least under Kong Miaoyin's halo, Su Chen would not be too high-profile.
"Tell me what you want me to help with."
Xu Canglan said with tears in his eyes, "My wife has been poisoned. I've searched all the famous doctors in the Eastern Border Sea, but none of them can cure her. Now, she's on her deathbed. I want to ask Brother Su to take me to see the Peacock Bright Monarch and seek her help."
Uh, this guy is actually married?
"Ding! New mission for today: Treat Xu Canglan's wife. Mission completion reward: 500,000 skill points."
The sudden system notification made Su Chen happy.
System, you're finally a human today. You've finally issued a mission that's worth seeing.
Although Su Chen had paid off the skill point loan last month, he still had three million to pay this month. Although there were still more than ten days, Su Chen still had to gather enough skill points as soon as possible.
Although there was a shortcut of returning Skill Points by cultivating Martial Arts, there were not many King Level Martial Arts. The Eastern Sea Region was not a holy land, and there were not many high-quality Martial Arts to cultivate. Since there were missions to complete, it was best to earn Skill Points through missions. After all, after completing ten missions, there was a chance to win a prize wheel.
Su Chen pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "Where's your wife?"
"She's in an inn in Demon City," Xu Canglan said hurriedly.
"Take me there first. If I can't do it, I'll take you to see the Peacock Bright Monarch."
"That's great. Thank you, Brother Su!
I'll lead the way. "
"Wait."
Su Chen said to Zi Yaoyao, "Go and call Mu Xiangxue over."
When it came to treating illnesses, although Su Chen was good at it, compared to Mu Xiangxue's specially purified blood, he was still lacking. With Mu Xiangxue's blood, no matter what kind of poison the patient was afflicted with, it could basically be cured.
Zi Yaoyao nodded and quickly brought Mu Xiangxue over. At this moment, Mu Xiangxue's face was still drowsy.
"It's almost afternoon. You're still not awake?
You're more comfortable as a maid than I am as a master, "Su Chen said in annoyance.
Mu Xiangxue pouted and said, "I went to Master's room in the morning, but the door was locked. You can't blame me for that."
Uh …
Su Chen did not say anything else and let Xu Canglan lead the way.
Soon, the three of them arrived at an inconspicuous inn in the city.
Su Chen said doubtfully, "You're actually staying in such a small inn? This isn't the style of the Lord of Canglan."
Xu Canglan smiled bitterly and said, "In order to treat Little Juan, Canglan has already gone bankrupt and is heavily in debt."
Is that so?
Who would have thought that Xu Canglan was such an infatuated man.
Su Chen entered the inn and went to a small, dark room on the second floor. Su Chen saw a woman with a withered face lying on the bed. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her facial features were still pretty, but under the torture of her illness, her aura seemed very decadent. She was like a flower that was about to wither, completely withered.
Her skin was pale and withered, her hair was sparse, her heartbeat was extremely rapid, and her fingers were black. It was indeed a sign of poisoning.
And it wasn't an ordinary poison. At least, even with Su Chen's alchemy skills, it was difficult for him to immediately identify what kind of poison it was.
Su Chen didn't waste any time and immediately walked forward. He pressed one hand on the girl's forehead and shrouded her sea of consciousness with his spiritual sense, spreading it to every part of her body to trace the traces of the poison.
Xu Canglan said, "Little Juan was a monster race slave that I bought from a slave auction seven years ago when I traveled to the Wuji Country. When I bought her, she was already poisoned. I have been looking for famous doctors to treat her, but there was no effect. It wasn't until a few months ago that the poison began to act up more frequently. Half a month ago, she fell into a coma."
