God of Pets

Chapter 276 Only You Can Save Me

Upon reaching the depths of the Valley of a Hundred Beasts, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Chen Guan felt a sudden release as he rolled out of the open carriage door.

Chen Guan felt his strength return and quickly jumped up, but the scene before him stunned him for a moment.

Chen Guan found himself in front of an enormous castle, with buildings stretching one after another like mountains into the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is not a castle at all, but rather an enormous stone lingzhi mushroom.

However, this stone lingzhi is so abstract that it is even more exquisite than a real castle, and it also has natural patterns on it.

After the miniature carriage dropped Chen Guan off, the eight horses turned around and drove away. Only then did Chen Guan realize that the carriage was actually formed from a stone lingzhi mushroom.

Just as Chen Guan was filled with doubt, the gate of Lingzhi Castle suddenly opened, and two rows of beautiful women, as lovely as fairies, walked out carrying lanterns.

It's called a lantern, but it's not actually a lantern. Instead, it's a lingzhi mushroom cap with a luminous pearl on it.

These beauties were all stunningly beautiful, dressed in different colored clothes, and exuded a refreshing fragrance, like celestial maidens from a heavenly palace.

Chen Guan had only heard the phrase "beauty is food for the eyes" before, but he couldn't understand what it meant. But after seeing these beautiful women today, he seemed to have suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase.

At the very end of those two rows of beautiful women, a stunningly beautiful woman, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns and like a celestial being descended to earth, stepped out from the middle.

Standing before the castle gates, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and every smile and gesture captivated the heart.

Chen Guan felt that the fragrance at the tip of his nose was stronger, but it was strong but not pungent, fragrant but not overpowering, making him feel more and more comfortable in body and mind.

"Ling'er greets Young Master..." The beautiful woman gave a graceful bow, her voice soothing that even a woman would feel weak in the knees upon hearing it, let alone a man.

"Greetings, young master." A group of stunningly beautiful women bowed to Chen Guan at the same time, their sweet voices blending together, more melodious than any elegant music.

Looking at so many beauties, Chen Guan suddenly understood why everyone wanted to be emperor, and why so many emperors were incompetent rulers.

With so many beautiful women calling you "Your Majesty" in such a sweet, coquettish way all day long, even the toughest person couldn't resist.

"Young master, please come with Ling'er..." The celestial beauty named Ling'er came to Chen Guan's side, took his soft hand, and led him into the castle. Her gentle voice was so captivating that no man could refuse her.

Chen Guan steeled himself and stopped, looking at Ling'er and asking, "Your name is Ling'er, right? Why did you bring me here?"

Although Chen Guan also wondered if this celestial beauty, seeing his handsome appearance, wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law.

However, Chen Guan was quite self-aware, knowing that even if such a good thing happened, it wouldn't be his turn.

Besides, he already has Ji Nan Hong. A good man doesn't become a son-in-law of two women. How can he become a live-in son-in-law for two women?

"Marrying two shouldn't be a problem, right?" Chen Guan couldn't help but think to himself.

"Young master, please save my ancestor's life!" Ling'er pleaded tearfully, her eyes brimming with tears. If Wang Lian was a delicate and beautiful woman who evoked tenderness and pity, then Ling'er was a celestial beauty untouched by worldly dust, and no one could bear to see her heartbroken.

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Chen Guan knew he was wrong, though he didn't know exactly what he had done wrong, but he was sure he was wrong.

"Who is your ancestor? How can I save him?" Although Chen Guan really wanted to agree to her right away and not let this celestial beauty be sad again, he still asked the question in the end.

"My ancestor is ill, and only you, young master, can save him." The tears welling up in Ling'er's eyes were captivating, making one wish they could nod their head to the ground and immediately grant all her requests.

“You should go to a doctor if you’re sick. It’s no use coming to me; I can’t cure diseases.” Chen Guan knew his own limitations and didn’t want to promise something he couldn’t do.

Actually, I didn't want to deceive this angelic beauty. It was as if lying to her would be a desecration, and I would feel intense guilt.

“Young Master, only you can cure my ancestor’s illness,” Ling’er said with unwavering resolve.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "This is strange. I haven't learned any secret methods or techniques for saving people. I do have some good pills, but although they are precious, they are all things that can be bought with money. There are many other people who have them besides me. How come I'm the only one who can save them?"

"Is this Ling'er trying to lure me into the castle and imprison me there as her plaything?" Chen Guan thought, glancing at Ling'er. He felt utterly ashamed. "How could I have such filthy thoughts? I deserve to die."

Feeling extremely ashamed, Chen Guan still didn't step into the Lingzhi Castle. Instead, he took out the pills he had on him and handed them to Ling'er, saying, "Take whichever medicine suits you."

Although it was a little painful to spend so much money on these expensive pills, in front of Ling'er, I felt uneasy if I didn't do my best to help her.

Ling'er shook her head and said, "Ancestor's illness is incurable by medicine."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan's expression grew even stranger: "If there's no cure, then why did you come to me? Don't tell me I don't know how to heal people; even if I did, you can't cure them now, can you?"

On second thought, Chen Guan's expression changed. He thought of a story: "Could it be that they want me to be used as medicine residue?"

The story goes that in ancient times there was a king whose many concubines fell ill, and no medicine could cure them; they had consulted many doctors but none could cure them.

Later, the king invited a divine physician. After examining the concubines' pulses, the physician immediately prescribed a medicine and sent fifty young men to take it into the palace.

Several days later, the concubines' illnesses were indeed cured, but outside the palace, the king saw fifty young men lying on the ground. The once strong men were now emaciated and barely recognizable as human.

The king asked the divine physician what was going on, and the physician replied, "The dregs of the medicine."

If the sick person were Ling'er, Chen Guan would hesitate to become the medicine residue. But the sick person was that so-called ancestor, who sounded like an old man in his seventies or eighties, and it was hard to say whether he was a woman or even human.

Even if Chen Guan has a compassionate heart, he absolutely cannot be left as dregs of medicine.

"Young master, you have the inheritance of a divine master. Only you can save my ancestor. Please save her..." Ling'er knelt down in front of Chen Guan, and a group of beautiful women followed suit. In an instant, the women pleaded with soft words, and even the hardest heart would be melted.

"Divine Master inheritance? What divine master inheritance?" Chen Guan was increasingly suspicious.
