Chapter 626: Chapter 627: I’m Pretty Strong Too

Since Lin Qian already had his own plans, Yun Fan and the others didn’t intend to meddle further. Interfering would do more harm than good.

Now, the power Lin Qian possessed far surpassed theirs, and there was no cause for concern.

Yun Fan and Yun Rong planned to follow the itinerary Ye Xin had arranged for them, using different modes of transportation to carefully explore the scenery of the Southern Domain and visit the underwater sights in the sea territory controlled by the Huaxia Empire.

Yun Fan and Yun Rong then left too, followed closely by Yun Qingfeng, who was keen to try all the different delicacies in New Qin City.

Watching his grandparents depart, Lin Qian turned and made his way to the inner chamber behind the royal palace.

Upon entering the inner chamber, Lin Qian saw Ye Xin still sitting cross-legged in meditation, quietly practicing on the bed.

Achieving the position of Empress of the Empire, Ye Xin had experienced inexplicable changes within her body. Her cultivation grew by leaps and bounds, changing daily.

Back in the inner chamber, Lin Qian didn’t disturb the meditating Ye Xin and simply watched her in silence.

However, just then, Ye Xin’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and her eyes slowly opened. The aura that had been condensed around her also quietly dissipated.

“Little Qian?” Seeing Lin Qian before her, Ye Xin showed a smile, “Have you finished dealing with everything?”

Lin Qian nodded slowly and moved beside Ye Xin, gently stroking her forehead’s strands of hair, “Now, the entire Empire has truly righted itself. People from all the provinces have grown accustomed to the Huaxia Empire’s way of handling matters. There aren’t too many concerns left.”

“After Little Qian’s return, things indeed became much easier,” Ye Xin, having ended her cultivation, lazily leaned back, lying on the soft bed.

After watching Ye Xin for a while, Lin Qian broke the silence, “Xinxin, I plan to personally go to the Western Continent to rescue the Three Elders.”

“In the days ahead, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Xinxin to help manage the Southern Domain of the Huaxia Empire.”

Ye Xin continued to lie lazily on the bed and asked softly, “Little Qian, you have so many people at your disposal, do you really need to go in person?”

“After all, that the Three Elders are in danger is due to my own doing. If I don’t personally go to their rescue, it would seem quite irresponsible,” Lin Qian said with longing on his face, “And I also desire to see for myself the Western Continent, where various tribes proliferate, what kind of sight it must be.”

“Advancing my Realm is crucial for me. If I could go there personally, it might aid significantly in enhancing my Realm. Moreover, according to my plans, if I can subdue some tribes along the way and have them become a part of the Empire, it would be a substantial gain.”

Speaking of this, a fervent light burst from Lin Qian’s eyes. The chance to personally explore uncharted lands was too thrilling an opportunity to overlook or leave to others.

After listening to Lin Qian, Ye Xin remained silent for a long while before she finally spoke softly, “Little Qian, I want to come along with you.”

“No, it’s too dangerous,” Lin Qian replied without hesitation to Ye Xin’s request.

Pfft!

Just as Lin Qian finished speaking, Ye Xin suddenly leaped from the bed into his arms, tightly hugging him without letting go, “Don’t leave me behind alone anymore. I also possess the power of the Transcendence Realm, don’t I?”

“I don’t want to always hide behind Little Qian. Instead, I want to stand by your side, hand in hand, facing the trials and tribulations together.” Saying this, Ye Xin grasped Lin Qian’s hands tightly, “So please, don’t leave me behind alone again, Little Qian.”

Lin Qian fell silent, and after a long while, he raised both hands to hold Ye Xin tightly in his arms, “Sorry, I’ve always been too arrogant, failing to notice you. Acting on my own initiative, I put you behind me to shield you from everything, assuming too much.”

“This time, let’s face it together.”

The next day, Lin Qian and Ye Xin left New Qin City quietly, boarding a specially made small Cloud Boat, soaring into the sky towards the western sea region of the Southern Domain.

The Soul Martial Continent was shaped like the character “几,” with the Western Continent on the left, the Eastern Continent on the right, and a chaotic wasteland to the north.

The Chaotic Star Sea was located in the vast sea area between the Western and Eastern Continents, where islands were scattered like countless stars, yet the situation was fraught with disorder.

There lived various races such as the Human Clan and the Sea Clan, all existing in this place where the concept of race was nonexistent, with only the distinction between the strong and the weak.

Some forces consisted of different races living together visibly, but unlike the Huaxia Empire, they were not so harmonious with one another.

Compared to the stable situation of the Huaxia Empire, the Chaotic Star Sea was synonymous with turmoil, with killings happening everywhere.

If someone coveted your possessions, you might be slaughtered the next second.

“Kid, hand over your belongings.” Above this vast sea, on a tiny desolate island, several bare-chested Human Clan men were approaching a frail young boy with sneers.

The frail youth, with several wounds both old and new on his body, looked at the men with an ashen face, slowly retreating backward, “You have been chasing me for half a month, aren’t you tired? The Spirit Revitalizing Pill was a reward to me from Senior Liu, what right do you have to rob me of it?”

“Hahaha, by what right? Simply because we are stronger than you,” the leader with a scarred face coldly laughed, swinging the Primordial Weapon in his hand as he addressed the boy.

“Is that so, so if you’re stronger than someone else, you can just rob them at will?”

At that moment, a voice laced with mockery sounded from the side.

All the men were taken aback and turned their heads to look in that direction, only to see a young man and a woman standing not far away.

The young couple were both dressed in white robes and skirts, covered with a layer of gauze. The man had a handsome face, and the woman was beautiful, a perfect match.

However, the aura they emitted was very weak, not very strong at all.

“Yo, pretty boy, are you meddling in other people’s business?” The scarred face turned his head, looking at the man and scoffed.

Beside him, a burly man with a face full of flesh smirked and walked towards them, “Boss, how can he be meddling? Clearly, he’s come to deliver a beauty for us to enjoy.”

“Come here, little beauty, keep Big Daddy company?” The burly man with the flesh-filled face extended his hand towards the woman with a lewd smile.

Swoosh!

The hand the burly man extended towards the woman suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the next moment, his head fell from his body onto the ground, slain instantly.

“Eh? How did he die? Looks like I’m pretty strong too,” Lin Qian said with a smile, looking down at the corpse on the ground and then towards the scarred face and the others.
