Chapter 394 But this young master doesn't seem like someone who lacks women! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Yu Jing left Jun Wu Hui's side like a defeated dog, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She knew that she was already a married woman and should not have any further involvement with Jun Wuhui.

But when the boy I admired during my teenage years reappears, the thrill is unforgettable.

"If only my husband were half as good as him"

Yu Jing shook her head with a wry smile, suddenly remembering that she had also advised her daughter to let go of Jun Zhantian in the same way.

But in this world, how many people can compare to Jun Wu Hui?

Unbeknownst to her, she had arrived at the place most deeply etched in her memory: the mysterious waterfall where she and Jun Wu Hui had sought refuge years ago.

Hidden here is a special cave, where Jun Wu Hui once wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The memory of that tenderness still makes her heart race.

"Let's just say goodbye to the past."

Yu Jing muttered to herself, unaware that danger was approaching.

Roar!
A deafening roar suddenly rang out, and Yu Jing trembled all over. She saw a huge creature with a jet-black body and bony spurs on its back leap out of the forest. It was the infamous Black Fiend Tiger!
I've heard from the people of Qiuyue Manor that many patriarchs of cultivation families have died tragically in the mouths of this Black Fiend Tiger.

Oh no! Something terrible is going to happen!

With his current cultivation level, facing the Black Fiend Tiger alone would be suicide.

Yu Jing retreated hastily; this ferocious beast, which was guaranteed to be at least at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, was a colossal creature in front of her.

She desperately fled towards the entrance of the cave, but the demonic tiger was faster, and with a swipe of its claws, it left three bloody marks on her back.

"Ah!" Yu Jing cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Her dress was torn in large pieces, and blood was dripping from her snow-white skin.

She struggled to get up, but was swatted away by the demonic tiger's claw and crashed heavily into a tree.

She went out without a single weapon, so she had no chance of fighting back.

"Am I going to die here?"

Her vision blurred, and Yu Jing looked at the entrance to the cave so close at hand with despair.

In a daze, she seemed to see Jun Wu Hui standing in front of her with his sword, a heroic figure from years ago.

That was just a fantasy before death.

The demonic tiger opened its blood-red maw and pounced, bringing a stench that filled the air!

At the critical moment.

"roll."

A detached voice rang out, followed by a deafening explosion.

Yu Jing felt a gentle force supporting her, and the expected pain did not come.

She struggled to lift her eyes and, through the blur, saw the demonic tiger fly backward like a rag doll, crashing through dozens of ancient trees before falling silent.

Yu Jing was deeply moved, and in her blurry vision, she thought it was Jun Zhantian who had arrived.

It seems Jun Zhantian still cares about her?
The moment their gazes focused, they discovered it wasn't Jun Zhantian, but an even more handsome and extraordinary man.

He exuded an aura of nobility that made the world pale in comparison.

Those deep eyes seemed to see through everything, yet they were indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

That's right, it's Li Chen. Li Chen had just arrived to do a mission when he saw the tiger demon injuring a beautiful woman, and he rescued her.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Luo Xi knelt down and carefully checked her injuries.

Yu Jing then came to her senses and hurriedly tried to get up and bow, saying, "Thank you both for saving me."

However, she may have been injured, and despite her efforts, she was still unable to get up, revealing a patch of her snow-white skin.

Luo Xi hadn't even started formal cultivation yet, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn't lift Yu Jing. Li Chen had no choice but to pick her up himself, her plump body swaying slightly in his arms.

Yu Jing blushed deeply, wanting to cover her exposed skin, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand, and could only let herself nestle in Li Chen's strong arms.

"Who are you? Why are you here alone?" Li Chen asked calmly.

Yu Jing replied, slightly out of breath, "I am from Qiuyue Manor. I have come here today simply to revisit this place."

She paused, then mustered her courage and asked, "Where is the young master?"

“I’ve come to find traces of her father.” Li Chen glanced at Luo Xi beside him.

As they talked, Yu Jing discovered that this young man, whose strength was unfathomable, was not only powerful but also quite easygoing.

Especially when he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, his incomparably handsome face seemed to eclipse the world.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yu Jing's mind: if her daughter met him, she might really forget Jun Zhantian and end that ill-fated relationship. But the question is, would this young master be interested in her daughter?
My daughter is indeed beautiful, because Yu Jing was also very beautiful to begin with.

But this young master doesn't seem like someone who lacks women.

Perhaps he's even more indifferent than Jun Zhantian?
Perhaps I could try to see if he has any romantic feelings for someone?
As they pondered, the three of them soon arrived at the entrance to the mysterious cave.

After Luo Xi quickly bandaged Yu Jing's wounds, Yu Jing bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life, young master. May I ask your esteemed name and where you are from?"

She said this because she wanted to find out about Li Chen's family affairs.

They needed to find someone to rely on for their daughter, so they had to at least know who the other party was.

“Li Chen, from the capital city,” Li Chen said casually.

"Li Chen?" Yu Jing's pupils suddenly contracted, and her whole body trembled violently.

The next second, she forced herself to kneel down despite her pain, her voice trembling: "This humble woman pays her respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

"What?!" The medicine bottle in Luo Xi's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she was struck dumb as if by lightning.

She stared wide-eyed at Li Chen, her lips trembling as she couldn't utter a word.

She and her mother were so caught up in their happiness these past few days that they forgot to ask about Li Chen's identity.

Luo Zixi and Luo Qimeng assumed that Li Chen was traveling incognito and simply addressed him as Young Master Li.

Yu Jing's kneeling startled Luo Xi.

Thinking back on the jokes she had made with the emperor these past few days, she felt a little guilty.

Li Chen raised an eyebrow: "How did you recognize me?"

Yu Jing pressed her forehead to the ground: "Your Majesty, who else could be such a young Saint Realm expert in the capital with the surname Li? Your Majesty just now casually repelled the Demon Tiger at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, so you must be a Saint without a doubt."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and the cave suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Li Chen chuckled lightly, "You're quite clever."

With a casual wave of his hand, a gentle force lifted Yu Jing up.

"Since you recognize me, lead the way. I am very interested in this place."

Yu Jing nodded nervously, secretly glancing at Luo Xi who was still in a daze, feeling both fearful and inexplicably excited.

She never imagined that she would meet the legendary emperor in this way!
At first, Yu Jing was very reserved.

In the eyes of a commoner like her, an emperor's wrath could cause the deaths of millions, let alone a supreme being with the cultivation of a Saint.

She spoke carefully, even her breathing was cautious.

But as the conversation deepened, she found the young emperor to be surprisingly approachable.

Although they maintained a respectful distance, they were already calculating in their hearts: it would be better for their daughter to enter the palace as a concubine than to live a life of widowhood by Jun Zhantian's side.
