"I can handle it myself!" Wang Chen explained weakly.

  "Then I'll be watching you!" Xia Xue continued to say innocently, her innocent expression making it impossible for anyone to get angry or refuse.

  It's clear that Xia Xue has already made up her mind to stick with Wang Chen, which gives Wang Chen a headache! Looking at Xia Xue's determined expression, Wang Chen secretly cursed his fate.

  Finally, under Xia Xue's persistence, Wang Chen could only follow them into the town with a bitter face. Can't stand on this road forever.

  Arriving in the small town, a few people found an inn to stay in. Looking at Xia Xue who was sticking close by, Wang Chen's scalp felt numb.

  In the hotel, Wang Chen finally got rid of Xia Xue after finding an excuse and returned to his own room, letting out a long sigh as if he had relaxed completely.

  After that, Wang Chen quickly entered the cultivation. The eight-gate escape battle had left him with almost no true yuan power in his body, and the weakness transmitted from his body made Wang Chen know that he must recover as soon as possible. Facing the pursuit of the Luo family and those black-clothed men, he must always keep his true yuan power full and prepare for battle at any time.

  As he entered his cultivation, the external and internal yuanqi rapidly gathered to supplement the deficiency of his true yuan power! Inside the dantian, the true yuan mist slowly revolved, as if welcoming Wang Chen's cultivation.

  The primordial spirit embryo was also slowly rotating in Wang Chen's dantian at this time, constantly compressing and refining.

  This time, Yan Yue may have absorbed the soul power of several people in a short span of one day, so at this moment, when Wang Chen was cultivating, it did not share the yuanqi that Wang Chen had gathered as usual.

  Before long, it was already an afternoon! When the sunset's afterglow dyed the entire room into a piece of crimson, Wang Chen's true yuan force had finally recovered to about 70-80%.

  Opening his eyes, he spat out a mouthful of turbid air. Xiang Yue was still sleeping beside him. After a moment's hesitation, Wang Chen once again devoted himself to cultivation.

  This time, he was cultivating the Star Refining Body.

  Absorbing the last bit of pure Yang star power from the daytime, Wang Chen quickly entered a state.

  Feeling the power of the stars raging inside his body, Wang Chen carefully controlled it, merging into every cell to temper.

  "Knock knock knock..."

  It was unclear how much time had passed when the knocking sound from outside the door pulled Wang Chen back from his cultivation of the Star Body Tempering Technique.

  Opening his eyes, a sharp light flashed in them, and he got up to stretch his waist, with a crackling sound spreading throughout his body, like the sound of firecrackers.

  Listening to the knock on the door, Wang Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and without saying a word, he knew who was standing outside at this moment.

  The only person who can come here and knock on his door is Xia Xue, no one else. Thinking of this girl, Wang Chen suddenly felt a headache.

  However, when Wang Chen opened the door, the person in front of him was somewhat unexpected, and it wasn't Xia Xue.

  At this moment, standing in front of him was a waiter from the hotel!

  "Sir, it's time for dinner. Would you like me to bring it up for you?" The waiter, who was standing at the door, looked up and asked respectfully as soon as he saw Wang Chen.

  "It's not needed!" Wang Chen said with a puzzled look at the servant.

  It seems that I didn't let them deliver dinner in the evening, and also this waiter gave Wang Chen a feeling that was a bit different!

  Sturdy and majestic, more like an adventurer.

  "I won't disturb you then!" Having been rejected by Wang Chen, the waiter flashed a slightly apologetic smile before quickly leaving.

  Watching the servant leave, Wang Chen turned around and closed the door, returning to the room with a slightly furrowed brow. He had a feeling that something was off.

  However, Wang Chen's thoughts were soon interrupted again by the knocking sound! The repeated knocking sound made Wang Chen frown slightly, thinking it was still the servant.

  "Wang Chen, what have you been doing all afternoon! You didn't even come to find me!" As soon as the door opened, Xia Xue's figure appeared before Wang Chen.

  Looking at Wang Chen, Xia Xue slightly pouted and said unhappily.

  "Good luck!" Wang Chen said with a wry smile, never expecting that this time it would really be Xia Xue's turn.

  "Practicing? You're so diligent?" Summer Snow slightly tilted her head, looking at Wang Chen and asked.

  "Never mind, I should be done with my training by now! Come on, let's go window shopping!" Soon, a smile reappeared on her face as Xia Xue took a step forward and linked arms with Wang Chen.

  "No way!" Wang Chen struggled for a moment, unable to break free, and sullenly refused.

  At this moment, Xia Xue was wearing a pale yellow long dress, her black hair hanging straight down her back, her big eyes wide open, extremely lively and with a hint of innocent beauty.

  With a girl like that holding his hand, Wang Chen always felt that something was off about his body. Especially the faint scent on the girl's body made Wang Chen feel even more suffocated!

  "Why not go? Don't forget, you're already my fiancé now! It's only natural for a fiancé to take his fiancée shopping!" Xia Xue said with an unhappy rising tone.

  This sentence is even more headache for Wang Chen, when did he become her fiancé? It seems that this guy said it himself, and I don't know what she's thinking in her mind.

  "No way, you have to come with me. If not, I won't leave this place!" Xia Xue said discontentedly after humming twice.

  Suddenly, Wang Chen's head spun and he looked at the girl beside him, looking at her appearance. After a moment, Wang Chen thought for a while, then sighed helplessly: "You go out first, I'll get something!"

  "Ah, that's right! I'll wait for you outside!" With Wang Chen's consent, a hint of a smile appeared on Xia Xue's face.

  This change is even faster than the weather in June.

  Watching Xia Xue leave, Wang Chen closed the door and let out a sigh before rummaging through his storage space to take out the Golden Coin of the Demon Dan.

  In the past three months, Wang Chen had hunted and killed a considerable number of third-tier demonic beasts in the Thorny Mountain Range. Adding to that the demonic pellets he plundered from those few guys at the Luo family today, what was now presented before Wang Chen's eyes was a pile of large and small demonic pellets.

  There are hundreds of them! After a rough calculation, the number surprised Wang Chen himself a little bit!

  Among them, there were 121 primary third-grade demon pills, 43 intermediate third-grade demon pills, and 6 advanced third-grade demon pills. Of these, more than 130 demon pills were plundered by Wang Chen, and the remaining 40 or so were personally killed and obtained by him.

  After getting this data, Wang Chen was surprised again and a silly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  Looking at the colorful elixirs, I don't know why but my mood suddenly improved.

  These more than 170 pellets of spiritual dan can be exchanged for nearly 10,000 gold coins! This is absolutely a not small amount!

  This made Wang Chen feel deeply moved, more than 10,000 gold coins is equivalent to the annual tax revenue of two small towns! Even more! 10,000 gold coins are enough to make more than 200 four-person families live a rich life for a year! That is to say, 10,000 gold coins can at least let 800 people enjoy a rich life for one year! Equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary family for two hundred years!

  At this point, Wang Chen finally knew why those adventurers were so enthusiastic about the Thorny Mountains! Under the temptation of money, people's enthusiasm will always be ignited to the highest peak.

  At this point, Wang Chen took out more than a dozen third-grade primary demon pills and put them back into the storage space with him.

  The current Wang Chen is no longer the Wang Chen of three months ago. An innocent man with a jade pendant will be guilty, and he is now very clear about this! It's just like when he inadvertently showed off his storage space in Xingyue City, which attracted other people's attention and pursuit! More than 100 third-order demon beast demon pills, the temptation of 10,000 gold coins, it can be imagined what kind of reaction there will be if someone sees them!

  Moreover, in a small town like this, Wang Chen estimated that it would be difficult for anyone to swallow these demon pellets in one breath. The only thing they could do was sell them in installments. Only the three major towns on the edge of the Thorny Mountain Range might have large merchant guilds that could afford to take in such a quantity.

  With fifteen or sixteen demon pellets in his pocket, Wang Chen turned around and opened the door, following Xia Xue into the small town.

  Night falls, the small town is bustling! Even more lively than some small cities. Where there are adventurers, there is never a lack of excitement and bustle.

  The streets are filled with the figures of adventurers everywhere. Inside the hotel, it's even more lively and vibrant.

  The adventurers' loud laughter and the ladies' flirtatious voices blended together! The night in this small town was filled with an atmosphere of debauchery and abandon.

  There are always these kinds of transactions in places with adventurers! After a tense adventure, adventurers need to indulge and relax, while these women treat the adventurers as money trees, where there's milk, there's a mother.

  On both sides of the street, all kinds of shops are available. Of course, the most lively ones are those armor and weapon shops, as well as some stores that sell necessities for adventurers.

  For those loud laughter and girls' giggles, Xia Xue beside Wang Chen seemed not to feel disgusted, on the contrary, with a puzzled and curious gaze, she looked around! Although she had been living an adventurer's life for three months, Xia Xue was still full of curiosity and interest in such a life.

  The town was not big, the streets were straight and narrow, and the scope was very small. In this process, Wang Chen found a store to sell the demon cores of more than ten third-level demon beasts in his arms, and received a bonus of 700 gold coins!

  The demon core of a third-grade primary demon beast is priced at 50 gold coins in this small town, which is still reasonable!

  Yao Dan made his move, and Wang Chen finally let out a sigh of relief! With the heavy gold coins in his arms, Wang Chen went on another big shopping spree.

  Clothes, food, daily necessities! This time, Wang Chen learned his lesson and only bought about seven days' worth of supplies each time. This was also the maximum amount that adventurers could stock up on. Then he found a secluded spot and put all these things into his storage space. Under such purchasing in the transfer shop, Wang Chen's storage space became full again.

  After finishing their business, Wang Chen didn't mind accompanying Xia Xue to stroll around the small town and experience the life of an adventurer.

  Being stuck in the thorny mountains for more than three months is indeed uncomfortable.

  However, Wang Chen and Xia Xue did not notice that there was a figure following them from a distance, keeping a certain distance from the beginning to now.

  As Wang Chen and Xia Xue entered a small bar, this person walked out from the corner, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
