Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

Chen You and Tang Yan made a private agreement to take turns resting to avoid being ambushed.

Although Chen You had investigated, none of these people intended to harm him.

But what if...?

It should be understood that people are very complex, especially human nature!

Some people's ideas can change drastically over time!

"I didn't expect to encounter so many experts even on the outskirts of the ruins."

At this moment, Tang Yan held her sword in her hand, idly poking at the fire in front of her.

Several large pieces of snake meat were placed on top of the fire; those were the giant steel python that Chen You had killed earlier that day.

As the flames blazed, the snake meat turned golden brown, dripping with oil and sizzling. A unique aroma of meat wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.

Several members of the Salt Gang were already drooling as they watched from the sidelines.

Subconsciously, Tang Yan turned her head and looked at a large tree not far away.

Chen You was lying leisurely on a thick tree branch, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long and even, as if all the disturbances around him were irrelevant to him.

Watching that aloof figure disappear into the distance, Tang Yan sighed softly, thinking to herself, "Speaking of which, I really owe a lot to Chen You for this trip. If it weren't for him..."

She knew very well that with her meager strength, if it weren't for Chen You supporting her, she would probably have been devoured long ago, leaving not even a trace, in this dog-eat-dog world of the ruins where experts gather!

"I must thank him properly when I get back this time," Tang Yan murmured softly.

Even she herself didn't realize that her feelings for Chen You were quietly growing stronger.

This is actually a very incredible thing.

From childhood, because she and her mother were never favored by her father, she witnessed the coldness of human relationships and harbored a strong sense of rejection and disgust towards men deep in her heart.

But now, facing Chen You, that thick layer of defense has unknowingly melted away.

Chen You was dozing off when, out of the blue, she saw a notification on the Rosary of Desires.

Tang Yan's favorability rating has reached: 63.

"What?!"

Chen You suddenly opened his eyes and was immediately surprised.

I didn't do anything, yet my favorability rating inexplicably reached 63?

This……

Immediately afterward, Chen You smiled. This woman was really strange.

He had always thought that Tang Yan was someone he couldn't win over, but he never expected that his affection for her would increase so much.

"It seems that after taking such good care of her all this way, she finally realizes how good I am to her."

Once his favorability rating reaches 63, he can see Tang Yan's desires.

By fulfilling your desires, you will gain Desire Points!

Along the way, I only had about 800 Desire Points left.

Now we can finally add to it.

[Tang Yan's desires.]

[Desire 1: Your blessing left a deep impression on her, and she longs to experience it again. (Completion rewards 50 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 2: I really want to get to the entrance of the ruins and enter it quickly. (Completion rewards 300 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 3: Having slept outdoors all the way without being able to shower, I feel sticky and really want to take a bath. (Completion rewards 20 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 4: I want to repay you for your care along the way. (Completion rewards 20 Desire Points.)]

…………

"At least this woman has some conscience. She knows she should repay me," Chen You thought to himself.

However, he didn't expect that Tang Yan wanted his "blessing"!

Unfortunately, she's not injured right now, so it wouldn't be appropriate to just offer her my blessings, would it?

He shook his head and continued to feign sleep.

Anyway, the desire is there and can't be avoided, we'll deal with it tomorrow.

…………

The next day, the group set off.

According to Gao He, it should take another day or so to reach the entrance of the ruins.

Upon hearing this, everyone was incredibly excited!

The exciting moment has finally arrived.

Everyone dreams of getting rich, but the dream of a master is to obtain a great opportunity and become a strong person.

The rest of the journey was surprisingly quiet, and we didn't encounter any further danger.

This, on the contrary, made Chen You somewhat depressed.

He had originally planned to have Tang Yan step in when trouble came up, and then, once she was exhausted, he could conveniently use his "blessing" on her.

In order to fulfill one's desires.

But right now, she hasn't even had a chance to make a move.

Shen Wanqian, who was standing to the side, was also very curious. He wiped his forehead and said, "That's strange. There doesn't seem to be any danger around here. We can't even hear the chirping of insects or the roar of beasts."

Unexpectedly, the more this happened, the more serious Gao He's expression became. He even raised his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Everyone, be careful!"

"Boss Gao, what's wrong?" Shen Wanqian asked curiously as he stepped forward.

He knew in his heart that although Gao He's personal strength was average, as a veteran, he was extremely experienced and his judgment was often very accurate.

Gao He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "According to the law of the jungle, the more powerful a treasure beast is, the larger its territory will be. Its aura will prevent ordinary beasts from even getting close. The fact that this place is eerily quiet now means that we have stepped into the territory of some terrifying being."

"You mean... there's a treasure beast nearby?!" Shen Wanqian's eyes lit up.

"Not bad!" Gao He was on high alert.

"Haha, since there's a treasure beast, then let me have it!"

Just then, Wang You swaggered over.

He placed one hand on his sword, waving it with an extremely proud expression: "Everyone, make way! I'm about to use my Listening Wind Sword Technique. Let me see where that treasure beast is hiding!"

Seeing this, everyone retreated, afraid of getting too close to this "blind man" who could easily kill the wrong person.

Wang You stood there, slowly closing his already blurry eyes, his aura sinking.

"Listen to the Wind, Move!"

With a low shout, Wang You's ears twitched. The faint sound of the wind, the movement of the air, and even the rustling of the soil all turned into countless sound waves that entered his ears at that moment.

He seemed to blend into the air currents of the jungle.

After a few breaths, Wang You's ears suddenly snapped shut, a confident and arrogant smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He abruptly pointed to the depths on his right: "Found it! It's three miles to the right!"

Wang listened intently with his right ear, his expression subtly changing. He said in a deep voice, "The sound is muffled like thunder, the breath carries a bloody scent, and the friction of the leather armor sounds like iron clashing against stone... That's an extremely ferocious treasure beast, an ancient giant lizard!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and although they couldn't see anything yet, a faint, menacing, and bloody wind seemed to be gradually spreading from that direction.

Upon hearing the words "Giant Lizard," Gao He's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, quickly cover your mouths and noses! This thing can exhale a sour, rotten stench; even just a whiff will make you weak and powerless!"

Everyone was startled by what they heard and dared not be negligent, so they all pulled down their sleeves or covered their mouths and noses.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up!" Gao He urged repeatedly, leading everyone to speed up and rush forward.

But after taking only a few steps, Wang You suddenly stopped, listened to the wind, and whispered, "We can't escape. The wind in the forest is blowing in the direction we're going, and that corrosive gas will catch up with us soon. We have to kill it!"

Shen Wanqian's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had seen a savior: "Brother Wang, then I'll have to leave it to you!"

Wang You, gripping the hilt of his knife, waved his hand arrogantly: "Don't worry, Young Master Shen, since I've taken your payment, this little thing is nothing to me."

"Truly worthy of being called the Invincible Blade!" Shen Wanqian praised with great emotion. "Given time, Brother Wang will surely become a Grandmaster of the First Rank."

Wang You's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, clearly pleased with the compliment.

With his back to the crowd, he struck a nonchalant pose: "You guys go first, I'll deal with this beast and come right back."

"Then, Master Wang, please be careful!"

Shen Wanqian pulled the group and continued running forward.

Chen You, Tang Yan, and the others didn't say much and continued walking forward with the main group.

Wang You covered his mouth and nose and charged toward the giant lizard.

"Are you alright?" Chen You asked Tang Yan.

"It should be fine..." Tang Yan shook her head.

"If you are poisoned, I wish you well!"

"No, no..." Tang Yan quickly shook her head: "I'm fine right now."

"Are you sure? If I get injured later, I won't be able to use the blessing. If I use it now, it will guarantee you'll be fine for the next period of time."

"I see... "

Tang Yan hesitated.

This place is teeming with poisonous insects and ants, so Chen You's words make some sense.

"Then, please."

"Just bear with it, it'll be soon. Best wishes..."

next moment.

[Desire: Tang Yan really wants to feel the blessings again. (Completed, gained 50 Desire Points.)]
