Chapter 1661 - Deity-Grade Apothecary
The match for the Legend Stele had only one round each day.
Thus, after the Greatest Fist in the World title had been taken, the fight for this day had come to a conclusion.
As everyone watched, Jiang Chen walked over to the Dragon team.
“You amaze me every time I see you,” Ao Yue said enthusiastically.
As a member of the Dragons, Ao Yue was naturally pleased to have seen Jiang Chen beat the arrogant Wizards with the Dragon Fist.
Even her older brother had stopped speaking badly about Jiang Chen now.
However, seeing that he didn’t appear to plan on apologizing, Jiang Chen gave up on the idea of talking to him any further.
He was about to say good-bye to Ao Yue. But she didn’t seem to be interested in the farewell and pulled him aside affectionately. She went a bit away with Jiang Chen, disregarding her brother’s nasty look.
“I understand.”
Jiang Chen had guessed that the Alien Flame that she’d mentioned was the same as the source of fire that he was looking for.
Instead of jumping to accept her offer, Jiang Chen asked, “Can you please clarify what kind of a place it is and how much the pay would be?”
It would probably raise her suspicions if he’d made a promise right away.
Shen Xingchen nodded, feeling reassured that Jiang Chen had asked these questions.
“I don’t know all about the details. But I wouldn’t ask you to risk your life if there were insoluble problems. As for your pay, I can’t estimate how much it would be yet either. But I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed after it finishes.”
“Will the pay be delivered no matter if I survive or not?” Jiang Chen asked in a professional manner.
“Yes, if you died, I would send your death benefits and compensation to the person you designated.”
“Then I don’t have other questions. When will we start?” Jiang Chen accepted.
“We will wait until everyone is here. You can stay in this hotel for now. We should be ready tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow night at the latest. I hope you’re prepared.”
There was no chance that Shen Xingchen had only hired one person. It would be impractical or dangerous.
It was also important to make sure that all the people she hired weren’t too close to each other.
Shen Xingchen settled Jiang Chen at the hotel and didn’t rush to introduce him to the others.
It indicated that this was not the first time she had hired bodyguards. She seemed as if she had extensive experience with this kind of thing.
“Unfortunately, you won’t be able to take the fire without the Vulcan Ring.” Watching her leave, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
“It seems that your performance before did bring you some benefits,” Ao Yue only spoke after Shen Xingchen had left.
It was obvious that Shen Xingchen had come to hire Jiang Chen because of his performance during the fight for the Greatest Fist in the World.
“I’m going too.” Ao Yue added. “Of course, I will follow the people from the Fiery Dragon.”
Shen Xingchen hadn’t invited Ao Yue.
It wasn’t that Ao Yue didn’t have enough strength or ability. Being a saint, she was about to become a Venerable Sovereign. Shen Xingchen didn’t bring it up because Ao Yue was the ninth princess of the Dragons, and she couldn’t afford her.
“Maybe we’re not going to the same place. Don’t be so sure,” Jiang Chen chuckled.
“They’re both in Wind Cloud City and they’re both related to fire. I can’t be wrong,” Ao Yue said confidently. “If we run into each other, you have to promise you’ll be gentle with me.”
“You’re just making trouble,” Jiang Chen smiled in frustration, yet he didn’t stop her.
“It’s fun.”
Ao Yue ran back to find the people from the Fiery Dragon.
“It’s so odd. Both the Fiery Dragon Race and the apothecaries have sensed the true source of fire. Why isn’t my genuine blood of the celestial phoenix responding?” Jiang Chen thought to himself.
His Vulcan Ring flashed.
“Fire Kylin?” Jiang Chen sensed something was wrong.
“I just wanted to let you know that you can’t sense the true source of fire when you’re wearing the Vulcan Ring. Otherwise, what would we do if people cheated like this?” Fire Kylin said.
“F*ck you,” Jiang Chen replied crossly.
