Chapter 591: Chapter 249: The Huo Family, what a pity! _1

“Friend Kang, long time no see!”

Upon hearing Luo Chen’s familiar greeting, Kang Xianqiong was momentarily stunned.

“You and I, have we not never met before?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly. “During our business dealings on the second floor of the Jingshi Pavilion, weren’t you in the room next door?”

Kang Xianqiong’s pupils shrank slightly.

Despite the fact that her grandfather had repeatedly warned her beforehand that Luo Chen was extraordinary and advised her to establish a good relationship with him, she still didn’t expect that his spirit consciousness was so strong that he had noticed her eavesdropping back then.

It should be noted that the concealment array of the Jingshi Pavilion is not a subpar small array.

While she was in astonishment, Luo Chen was also feeling heartfelt.

This girl appears quite young and rather inexperienced.

But just because she was born into a good family, she could establish a foundation at a young age in peace and security.



Who doesn’t envy such a lucky person?

“Since you have traveled all the way to Tianlan Immortal City, I, as the host, should entertain you a little!”

“There are three great sights on my Danxia Peak.”

“Would you like to tour around with me?”

Kang Xianqiong courteously nodded, “Then I’ll follow the host!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and stepped forward.

The inexperienced female cultivator walked side by side with him.

The two strolled around Danxia Peak on the mountain footpath, winding their way up.

Occasionally, they would meet cultivators from the Luo Tian Creed who would respectfully salute them.

Kang Xianqiong curiously observed the fresh scenes and people around her.

The scenery was secondary.

The people were the most important.



The expression on Kang Xianqiong’s face dimmed slightly.



Seeing this, Luo Chen knew that his guess was correct.

“Did something happen in Taishan District?”

Kang Xianqiong bit her lower lip and said, “Indeed, Friend, you guessed correctly. A major incident indeed occurred in Taishan District.”

“Shortly after you left Taishan District, a third-order demon beast crossed the river, attacked the Huo family in Red Toad Mountain. Our Kang family, based in Taishan, being nearby, got affected as well.”

“In order to protect the clan members, my grandfather was seriously injured and bedridden.”

“That’s why I took the risk to make a push for the Foundation Establishment Stage so that I have enough strength to go out and find healing herbs for him.”

“Fortunately, I successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and happened to find out that Tianlan Immortal City is about to hold an auction, which is why I rushed here.”

The words behind carried a sense of relief and good fortune.

However, Luo Chen was more concerned about the first two sentences.

“A third-order demon beast attacked the Huo family at Red Toad Mountain?”

“Yes, it was a Three-Footed River-Swallowing Toad with the strength of a third-order middle stage; something completely out of the reach of a foundation establishment clan like us.”

Luo Chen questioned, “River-Swallowing Toads have a mild temperament, why would it attack the Huo family?”

Faced with this question, a blush crept up on Kang Xianqiong’s face.



Under Luo Chen’s questioning look, she lowered her head and said, “According to my grandfather, it seems to have been in its mating season...”

Mating season!

Subconsciously, Luo Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Could it be because he fed the River-Swallowing Toad a large number of pills, including three top-grade Allure Pills, that caused this to happen!?

Vaguely, he remembered when the Luo Tian Creed left Taishan District.

He had indeed detected the aura of the River-Swallowing Toad upstream of the Lancang River.

Under normal circumstances, a River-Swallowing Toad, after being fed, would not behave in this way for a short period of time.

Could it be...

“The Red Toad Mountain, where the Huo family resides, is named after the Red Fire Toad. This is because a group of Red Fire Toads thrive there in the First Order Earth Fire Vein, and one of the Red Fire Toads has even advanced to the second order, it was tamed by the Huo family and used as the clan’s guardian Spirit Beast.”
