Primordial Emperor-Chapter 1612 - 1611: Just How Much Did You Use?

Zi Tianyi was very satisfied with Lin Chen. If Lin Chen were to become her son-in-law, she would wholeheartedly support it.

"Yeah, Zi Ling, you'd better think about it carefully. Maybe that kid has had ulterior motives for you all along, you just haven't noticed," Xiao Chitai chimed in after hearing Zi Tianyi's words.

However, as soon as Xiao Chitai said this, Zi Tianyi's expression changed drastically, and her gaze at Xiao Chitai was filled with discontent.

"Do you even know how to talk? What do you mean by ulterior motives? If you don't know how to speak properly, just shut up and stop being a fool!" Zi Tianyi glared hard at Xiao Chitai, expressing her displeasure.

Seeing Zi Tianyi's outburst, Xiao Chitai was immediately too frightened to make a sound and silently retreated to the side, keeping his mouth shut.

"Mother, Father, what are you both thinking? I've told you already, Lin Chen and I are just ordinary fellow disciples; we're not what you think we are." Zi Ling looked at Xiao Chitai and Zi Tianyi and said with some displeasure.

"If that's really the case, why would that kid give you such valuable treasures?" Xiao Chitai asked slowly, looking at Zi Ling.

"It just shows you don't understand Junior Brother Lin Chen. He's like that with everyone around him."

"You should know, among our Yellow Hall disciples, whether it's Yu Weilian or Yang Minghui, even Yang Ming, Su Yun, Su Xiao, and others, Junior Brother Lin Chen shared even a rare item like the Five Elements Spiritual Essense with them," Zi Ling continued.

Upon hearing Zi Ling's words, Xiao Chitai and Zi Tianyi couldn't help but exchange glances, pondering how such a generous person could exist in the world.

After all, the treasures Lin Chen gave away were all extraordinarily precious and priceless.

"Damn, that kid is so generous, yet why is he so stingy with me? Just asking him for some wine money, and he makes so many excuses," Xiao Chitai complained after hearing his daughter's words.

"Father, did you really extort wine money from Junior Brother Lin Chen?" Zi Ling asked, dissatisfied, looking at Xiao Chitai.

"How could I? I'm not that kind of person. Don't blame something baseless on your old man." Xiao Chitai replied with some guilt, breaking into a cold sweat, secretly regretting almost letting the secret slip out due to his excitement.

"Hmph, Dad, I'm telling you, don't target Junior Brother Lin Chen, or you'll have trouble with me," Zi Ling warned as she stared at Xiao Chitai.

"My dear daughter, you must understand that I am your father. Why are you siding with that kid? You're not even married yet. If you marry him later, will you team up with him to deal with me?" Xiao Chitai said seriously, looking at Zi Ling.

"Dad, I've already told you, Lin Chen and I are just ordinary fellow disciples, not what you think."

"Alright, I'm not going to say more with you. Now that Mother has woken up, I have to return the Jade Gourd and the remaining Water of Life to Junior Brother Lin Chen," Zi Ling said blandly to Xiao Chitai and then turned to leave.

"Ling'er, don't be in a hurry to leave; I still have something to ask you," Xiao Chitai called out as he saw Zi Ling leave.

However, no matter how he called, Zi Ling did not return this time.

"This girl is getting more and more out of line, treating me like this."

"I just hope she doesn't start a dispute with Lin Chen," Xiao Chitai muttered, watching Zi Ling leave.

"Why do you say that?" Zi Tianyi asked in confusion after hearing Xiao Chitai's words.

"This... well, it's my fault for being too impatient."

"Previously, to wake you up sooner, I... I seemed to have overused the Water of Life from the Jade Gourd," Xiao Chitai admitted softly, looking at Zi Tianyi.

"Overused? How much Water of Life did you use?" Zi Tianyi asked, frowning immediately after hearing Xiao Chitai's words.

"Cough, cough, probably about two cubic feet," Xiao Chitai whispered, not daring to meet Zi Tianyi's eyes.

"What did you say? You used two cubic feet to save me!" Zi Tianyi exclaimed, jumping up from her seat, looking at Xiao Chitai in shock.

You should know the Water of Life is such a rare treasure with miraculous effects like reviving the dead and reversing aging.

Even if Zi Tianyi was suffering from Cold Poison, at most, she would need three or four drops.

Yet, Xiao Chitai treated the Water of Life like ordinary water, using so much of it.

"How could you waste so much to save me, you fool!" Zi Tianyi said angrily, pinching Xiao Chitai's ear.

"Well, the Water of Life is already used up, complaining won't help, at worst, I'll work for that kid until I repay this debt." Xiao Chitai expressed, looking in Zi Ling's leaving direction. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Humph, with your abilities, serving him might not be that easy," Zi Tianyi said bluntly to Xiao Chitai.

"Tianyi, don't say that. I'm still a powerhouse in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom."

"There are few problems in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom that I can't solve," Xiao Chitai said confidently, puffing out his chest.

...

Zi Ling quickly arrived at Lin Chen's residence and knocked on Lin Chen's room door.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, I've come to return the Jade Gourd. I will always remember this favor, and if you ever need anything, just say the word, and I'll be there," Zi Ling said, patting her chest as she looked at Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't say much, and directly waved his hand to put the Jade Gourd away.

As for how much Water of Life was used, Lin Chen didn't check carefully either.

"Senior Sister, you're too kind; it was just a small matter," Lin Chen said blandly, looking at Zi Ling.

After returning the Jade Gourd, Zi Ling didn't linger long and turned to leave, while Lin Chen returned to his room.

Silence prevailed for the night. Lin Chen rested for a day and planned to go out early the next morning to exchange his treasures for low-grade Spirit Crystals.
