Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 331: The Second Pursuer

They had completed one-third of their journey, but the dwarves were hot on their heels! Long Chen had to take many detours to head westward. Even though the journey was longer, it gave them a lot of safety.

Long Chens body was also abnormally tough. Thanks to the White Lotus Core, his body completely recovered in three days. The effect of the advanced Earth-tier spiritual herb was amazing!

Unfortunately, he had used Blood Transmutation so much that the tendency for slaughter was affecting him heavily. He kept thirsting for battle and massacre. If it wasnt for the fact that Ling Xi was by his side, he wouldve let himself loose and killed everyone.

Three days passed. Both Long Chen and Xiaolang had completely recovered, but Ling Xi fell ill. Her illness worsened as time went by. Long Chen did everything he could, but nothing changed. He had a lot of spiritual herbs, but Ling Xi didn't have Qi to refine them!

Ling Xis body slowly weakened, and Long Chen panicked. Ling Xi needed a doctor that treated normal people, but how could they find one? They were wanted criminals!

Brother Chen, dont worry. I will be fine Ling Xi held his hands and pretended to be strong.

You are suffering because of me. Im sorry. If he had never killed the Ninth Prince and just defeated him, they wouldnt have had to run for their lives.

Brother Chen Cough, cough Ling Xi coughed and looked at him. I dont know how to explain this, but it feels so blissful to be able to spend time with you like this despite what we are doing. I feel so blessed to be able to lie in your embrace like this. These few days have been the most lovely days of my life I wont have any regrets if I die now

Bullshit.

Long Chen held her pale face. Dont talk nonsense like that. I worked so hard to protect you. How can I protect you if you dont treasure your life?

I know Cough, cough Long Chens words had moved her, though she coughed again when she spoke too fast.

This time, Long Chen felt his heart hurt when he heard her coughing so badly. Ling Xi was his darling, and she resembled a white lotus. Some of the petals were wilting and yellowing, so he was naturally worried.

Your fever has gotten worse. Long Chen frowned when he touched her forehead.

Dont worry. It will be fine soon. I refuse to be baggage, so I will recover soon. Ling Xi weakly clenched her fists and cheered herself up.

Long Chen looked at her.

Xiaolang, find a small town nearby. We can disguise ourselves and take Xiao Xi to a doctor.

If they kept running like this, Ling Xis body would not be able to tolerate the cold wind. If she ended up dying, there would be no meaning to their struggle.

No! We will get caught! Ling Xi said hurriedly, but then she coughed even louder.

No. Ive made up my mind. I will kill whoever comes to catch us.

***

There was a river cutting through a large bamboo forest. Near the river was a city called Clear Water City. It wasnt big, roughly the same size as Crescent City. But Clear Water City was famous for producing divine jades as well as their rich reserves of resources.

Long Chen was just outside the city.

But he would never enter through the gatesthat was suicide. He carried Ling Xi and scaled the wall. He was so fast that no one noticed him.

Long Chen had gone inside once already. He had scouted out an alley and found a deserted home on the first trip. He now took Ling Xi into the deserted home. Even though it was simple and ugly, it had everything they needed. It was also warmer and remote enough that no one usually passed by. It was a good place for her to recover.

Long Chen tidied up the place a bit and told Xiaolang to protect her. Wait here. I will go find a doctor.

Okay. Ling Xi nodded.

Long Chen exited the house. After the incident in Crescent City, he now stuck to the shadows and ran around with the speed of a Fifth River Stage Cultivator. No one noticed him because the strongest person in the city was only at the First or Second River Stage.

He looked around the city for half a day before he found a middle-aged doctor. The doctor had dozens of years of experience, so he would be able to cure Ling Xi easily. Ling Xis body had been steadily getting weaker, and she wouldnt be able to recover while they were traveling due to fatigue and the cold.

Long Chen followed the doctor back to his office. It was only when there was no one around that Long Chen made his presence known. Doctor, treat someone for me and I will give you a thousand divine jades.

The doctor had never received more than a single divine jade as payment, so he was stunned by Long Chens offer. Long Chen was worried that the doctor wouldnt believe him and paid him upfront, pouring out a thousand divine jades onto the table.

These are all yours. I just need you to cure someone. Grab your medicine and equipment and follow me.

The doctor had met many people throughout the years, so he knew that Long Chen was a powerful individual. When Long Chen poured out the divine jades in front of him, he accepted them reluctantly. He knew that Long Chen was the kind of person that would give a huge reward but would kill others if they didnt follow his orders.

The doctor accepted the divine jades and said, Lead the way.

Long Chen said nothing and grabbed the doctors arms. He ran as fast as he could while shielding the doctor from the wind. A normal person would be able to feel the wind rushing past them, but they wouldnt be able to see them.

Soon, they arrived at the deserted house.

Long Chen stopped, and the doctor had to steady himself after moving at high speed. He didnt know where he was as he didn't recognize the houses.

Ask questions only when it's necessary and cure the person inside. You can leave peacefully afterwards. If not, both the divine jades and your life will be forfeited.

The doctor, afraid of Long Chens threat, walked inside without a word.

When Long Chen returned, Ling Xis face brightened up.

The doctor had never seen someone so beautiful before. To him, Long Chen was the demon while the girl was like a pure white lotus. She was pure and kind, and the doctor was much happier to see her.

Hmm Shes infected with the flu. Theres not really an effective cure, and it only became this bad because she hasnt had time to rest. Dont worry. Ive been a doctor for twenty years, so I can easily cure it.

The doctor gave them medicine after inspecting her. Long Chen had told the doctor to bring the medicine with him so he could make it on the spot. Before Universe Pouches were common, doctors had to rent a space to store their medicines. Nowadays, though, they just carry all of their medicine in their Universe Pouch.

Long Chen requested that the doctor not only prepare the medicine, but also cook it so that Ling Xi could get cured as soon as possible. Long Chen sat beside her and looked at her with pain in his heart. Are you feeling better after resting a bit?

Mhm! Much better! Ling Xi nodded. She then looked at the doctor who was preparing the medicine and whispered to Long Chen worriedly, Brother Chen, are you going to kill him?

Long Chen didnt know if the doctor had recognized him, but for Ling Xis sake, he could not risk it. He had already prepared to kill the doctor after Ling Xi was cured.

Yes, Long Chen whispered.

No. Brother Chen, hes a kind doctor. You mustn't kill him. Ling Xi didnt want the man to die because of her.

Fine. I will let him stay here for a few days. I will release him once we leave the city.

Thanks to the medicine and the doctor taking care of her around the clock, Ling Xi managed to recover. In just one day, her fever was almost gone and her face was looking much better.

She will recover in two more days, the doctor said in fear as he looked at Long Chen.

You can leave afterwards, Long Chen said.

The doctor sighed in relief. He felt like he had been dancing on the edge of a blade today.

The second day came, and Long Chen carefully hugged Ling Xi. They were lying on the bed and resting when Long Chen sensed something that made him get up.

He carefully covered Ling Xi with the blanket and kissed her forehead. Ling Xi mumbled in her sleep and gently pushed him away.

Long Chen smiled and opened the door before walking out of the house.

There was a group of dwarves waiting outside for him. It was the Harmony family!
