Chapter 2435: Chapter 2455: Beautiful, Like Inner Demons, Breathtaking!

Footstep sounds echoed, and a crisp female voice resonated from inside the door, "Who?"

Lin Chen replied softly, "I was entrusted by a friend with the surname Shangguan to pay a visit."

The footsteps continued, moving to the entrance, and then the door was opened.

The woman who opened the door was dressed in black clothes; she was slender and her face was ordinary, "You are?"

Lin Chen did not respond but countered, "Miss Shang?"

The woman in black nodded, "I am."

Lin Chen frowned, "You are Miss Shang Wenyin?"

The woman in black nodded again, "Yes, what you see is not my true face... Who sent you?"

Lin Chen answered, "Shangguan Wenyin."

"Come in to talk."

The woman in black led Lin Chen into the living room and invited him to sit down, "What did he entrust you to do?"

Lin Chen stared at the woman in black, "Although the address is correct, how can you prove that you are Shang Wenyin?"

After hesitating for a moment, a flash of radiance shone from the neckline of the woman in black. Before Lin Chen’s eyes, her original appearance rapidly crumbled and transformed into an entirely different visage.

Lin Chen glanced at her, and his eyes involuntarily widened a bit.

Wow, she’s so beautiful!

Even though Lin Chen was prepared, he was still awestruck by the woman before him.

Miss Shang Wenyin did not smile but pursed her lips lightly, calmly staring at Lin Chen. Even so, her eyes, expressive as if they could speak, gently caused ripples in Lin Chen’s heart.

To describe how enchantingly beautiful her face was proved difficult for Lin Chen; suffice it to say, every feature was lovely on its own and even more so together—especially her eyes, which were like captivating deep pools, irresistibly drawing one in.

Stunning!

The word flashed through Lin Chen’s mind as he felt it best described her.

Lin Chen had seen many pretty women, with no shortage of them by his side, but he had to admit that Shang Wenyin was indeed more captivating.

Her face was like a magnet; one glance made you want to take another. When she looked at you with her enchanting eyes, your heart might accelerate, feeling somewhat guilty and unable to face her directly.

This was an instinctive bodily reaction.

Although he could turn his head away by sheer willpower, his heart harbored a lingering desire.

No wonder she was hailed as one of the three divine beauties; the accolade was indeed well deserved.

Her beauty was like an Inner Demon, making one unable to resist taking more glances, desiring to possess it.

Inner Demons?

Moved, Lin Chen silently recited the Divine Enlightenment Scripture that Master Kurong had transferred to his master for him.

The scripture of the Divine Enlightenment echoed in Lin Chen’s mind. He felt his previously fluctuating Sea of Knowledge suddenly jolt, swiftly becoming serene and peaceful while the myriad distracting thoughts in his heart vanished in an instant.

When Lin Chen looked up again, facing those captivating eyes, he took out the Image Recording Stone given to him by Shangguan Wenyin and handed it to Miss Shang.

Miss Shang did not speak, but her charm had already verified her identity.

"This is for you from him."

Miss Shang glimpsed the calm and serene eyes of Lin Chen, who was looking straight at her, and noticed a hint of surprise.

Miss Shang knew all too well the reaction men had when facing her.

The initial astonishment in this man’s eyes when he first saw her was undeniable, but in a short amount of time, when he looked at her again, his eyes had regained their calm, devoid of the previous astonishment and flutter.

Under the gaze of those calm and void eyes, Miss Shang felt for a moment as if she had become nothing more than an ordinary person.

"Please wait a moment."

Miss Shang took the Image Recording Stone and left the living room.

Looking at Miss Shang’s retreating figure, Lin Chen silently marveled to himself: truly worthy of the title divine spirit, and thankfully, the Divine Enlightenment Scripture indeed worked wonders for focusing the mind and dispelling distractions.

Miss Shang quickly reappeared before Lin Chen, her face restored to its previous ordinary appearance.

She was well aware of the deadly allure her beauty held for men. Therefore, if possible, it was best to conceal her beauty.

"I had no idea Your Excellency was a disciple of the most powerful figure in the Donghuang Longshan Sect. It must’ve been hard for you to make the trip just for this," she said.

Lin Chen smiled and replied, "I owe fellow cultivator Shangguan a favor. Ensuring your safe passage allows me to repay that favor... Has he explained everything to you?"

Miss Shang nodded her head, "He has made everything clear, I will go with you!"

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, glad she was willing to go.

"Although I shouldn’t be asking, I’m still a bit puzzled. I’ve heard Miss Shang practiced the Primordial Profound Maiden Art, a peerless technique inherited from the Ancient times by the Gui Xu Sect, and that your strength must also be tremendous. Why are you hiding here instead of quietly leaving on your own?"

Miss Shang explained softly, "The entire Gui Xu Sect is searching for me. The Primordial Profound Maiden Art that I practice is indeed profound, but as soon as I utilize it, people in the Gui Xu Sect would sense me, which is why I have sealed my Sea of Knowledge. At this moment, I am no different from an ordinary person."

"Though I could leave under the guise of an ordinary person, it is easy for accidents to happen when wandering the world as such, and I cannot use my powers. So for safety’s sake, I hid here and sent a message to Shangguan Wenyin, asking him to come and escort me..."
