Chapter 1007: Chapter 1027: If You Don’t Mind, I’ll Stay with You_1

"The City Lord’s name is Yang Cheng, and his wife’s name is Duan Hui. We don’t know their background, but they passed through here like immortal beings."

"At that time, Xingyuan City was occupied by a group of bandits who plundered the city, oppressed the common people and abused the citizens on the streets. When the City Lord and his wife passed by, they saw that the civilians were being beaten on the street. They stepped in to defend the civilians, drawing the bandits’ attacks. The couple killed the head of the bandits and his followers."

"They originally stayed here because they worried that if the bandits died, someone would retaliate against the people of Xingyuan City, but their stay lasted for many years."

"They felt sorry for the people’s hardships and established new laws, collecting only minimal taxes to maintain the operation of the City Lord’s Mansion, and would not accept anything else."

"Their tenure was the happiest time for the us and we had hoped it would last forever, but alas, the Wolf Demon appeared, killed the City Lord, and his wife, unwilling to live alone, committed suicide."

"They had a chance to escape, but the Wolf Demon threatened the City Lord that if he fled, the Wolf Demon would kill all the people in the city. The City Lord gave up on escaping and died."

With tears in his eyes, the old man said, "It was our fault that they died. If not for us, the couple would not have died..."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds and then waved his hand, "I appreciate your intentions, let them go."

The old man looked at Lin Chen but didn’t say anything. He finally paid a respectful salute, turned around, and led everyone away.

Lin Chen sat on the city wall and watched the distant sun, saying nothing.

Nalan Wushuang whispered, "Do you want to stay?"

Lin Chen replied, "I haven’t decided yet."

Nalan Wushuang said softly, "If you want to stay, just stay. Cultivation is indeed defying fate, but one must follow their heart."

"If you leave now, you might have a lingering regret, and that regret might turn into a demon in your heart."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and realized that it made sense. The most important thing was that he was currently stuck at a bottleneck, and even if he returned to South Mountain, he would still have nothing to do."

Breaking through the bottleneck could take a short or a long time, depending on fate and destiny."

"If I stay, what about you?"

"I have nowhere else to go. If you don’t mind, I can accompany you." 

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Why would I mind you?"

Nalan Wushuang calmly replied, "I am the Holy Maiden of the Demon race, aren’t those evildoers also demons?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said indifferently, "Before the couple arrived, the city was occupied by human bandits. They plundered and oppressed people the same way. They didn’t hold back or sympathize just because they were all humans."

Nalan Wushuang gave Lin Chen a strange look, "You hate and resent only those who oppress and harm, regardless of whether they are human or demons?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "You could say that. I just think that no matter who or what race they are, as long as they don’t harm others, they should have the right to live."

Nalan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen and said softly, "You’re different from them."

Lin Chen laughed, "A person’s beliefs often depend on their upbringing. I live in the Human World, which is different from the Wildlands. Naturally, my beliefs differ."

Nalan Wushuang nodded gently, "So, what will you do?"

Lin Chen replied, "Stay here and consider it a vacation for myself. As for the future, we’ll see."

Nalan Wushuang said softly, "Emotions are hard to let go once they’ve been picked up. That couple could’ve escaped, but they couldn’t let go and ended up dying..."

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s not a big deal. If I really can’t let go of them in the future, I’ll just hire some flying boats to transport everyone back to Xixi State."

"The entire city of Kong Yuan was refined into Wanling Blood Pearls, leaving it empty. It would be easy to accommodate them."

Nalan Wushuang smiled, "As long as you have a solution, I was just worried that you would trap yourself here because of your sense of responsibility."

Lin Chen smiled, "Not a problem. I admire that couple, but I’m not like them."

Lin Chen leaped from the city wall, laughing, "Let’s go and stay in the City Lord’s Mansion for a while and experience being a City Lord."

Nalan Wushuang looked at Lin Chen’s hearty smile, and her mood unconsciously lightened as well.

He was truly unique.

He was different from every other Human Emperor she knew!

Thinking of what Lin Chen said to the Emperor’s Seal, Nalan Wushuang couldn’t help but feel a little excited. What would the future hold for Lin Chen?

Lin Chen flew for a while, turned back and smiled at her, "What are you giggling about? Let’s go."

Nalan Wushuang smiled charmingly, leaped up into the air, her robes fluttering.

"Coming!"
