Cheng Chen was silent, as though she was struggling in her heart. Her helpless expression and delicate appearance made even her soul tremble under the old witch's tyrannical power.

Lin Qi saw this and felt pain in his heart. He hated the fact that he was heavily injured. Otherwise, with his battle prowess, he would have been able to fight against the old witch.

Suddenly, the old witch lost her patience and her left hand shot out. At the same time, she opened up her five black and slender nails and inhaled. A guard kneeling outside the carriage immediately turned pale with fright.

"Ah …"

Streams of blood flowed out from the guard's face. They hung in mid-air before rushing straight towards the old witch. The guard was in so much pain that he was on the verge of death, letting out miserable shrieks that he had heard before.

"Young Lord, my patience is limited. Don't force me to kill again." The old witch's voice was filled with hostility.

"Stop, I'll drink." Cheng Chen bellowed. She was on the verge of tears from the old witch's torture. Her eyes were red and swollen.

"That's right." The old witch cackled twice before withdrawing her left hand and withdrawing her suction force. The guard had lost too much blood and immediately lost consciousness.

Cheng Chen took the bowl filled with the green liquid. She looked as if she was struggling, but just as she was about to bite her lips and drink, a young man's voice rang out.

"Hold on."

Old Yu Qi cast a cold glance at Lin Qi, which was filled with threat.

"I'll help her drink." Lin Xing calmly said.

"That won't do. This is my problem and it has nothing to do with you. Wait for your injuries to heal, then quickly leave." Cheng Chen firmly refused and revealed an expression of feigned anger.

The old witch also disdainfully smiled, not having the slightest bit of interest in Lin Qi.

Lin Xing ignored Cheng Chen and used all of his strength to snatch the bowl in Cheng Chen's hand, then gulped it down in one gulp.

His actions caused Cheng Chen and the old witch to be stunned.

"Brat, you have balls, but what you drink doesn't count. I will boil another bowl for you later." The old witch laughed sinisterly.

Lin Qi stared at her, his eyes calm. "How much do you want? I'll drink."

"Hehe, good boy. You just woke up and you're already in such a hurry to die?" The old witch said.

"It's worth it." Lin Qi did not say much, only spitting out one word.

Cheng Chen was moved, but she could not bear to do so. She bit her lips.

When the old witch saw Lin Qi's resolute expression and heard that word, her expression became complicated, but not long after, it turned into one of resentment.

Lin Xing's actions seemed to have touched her scar.

"Alright, I promise you. From now on, I'll give you all these pills to drink."

After saying that, the old witch turned around and walked out of the carriage, closing the curtain. She then gave the order for the carriage to move, and it began to move again.

"Thank you." Cheng Chen looked at Lin Qi and said sincerely.

Lin Qi shook his head, smiled and said, "You are my savior. Let alone drinking the medicine for you, even if it's Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, I wouldn't mind taking the challenge."

"You're just like my brother. If there's a chance, I'll introduce him to you." Cheng Chen said.

"Sure." Lin Qi replied with a smile.

Ever since I was young, every single person has been cold-blooded and merciless. Even when I was with my father, I couldn't even talk twice a year, and only my brother doted on me the most, and he took great care of me ever since I was young. In this world, only my brother is willing to help me, and I'm very happy today because I've met a second person who's willing to do this for me. Cheng Chen's face was filled with bitterness and sadness. Finally, her gaze landed on Lin Xing, and it turned into a happy one.

Hearing this, Lin Xing was deeply moved. Wasn't his experience the same as well?

But no matter what he said, he was still a man, and Cheng Chen was only a weak girl. No matter how strong she was, her heart was always that fragile, and she longed for someone else's care.

"Miss Cheng, if you don't mind, please help me be your other brother." Lin Xing had a sincere expression on his face.

"Sure." Cheng Chen was so happy that she could dance with joy.

At this moment, Lin Xing asked again, "Oh right, what was the matter with the soldiers that the old witch was talking about just now?"

"We soldiers are only a small clan that resides under the 24 great sects in the land of Heaven's End. "Although the Heaven's Jue earth is vast and boundless, every inch of land is extremely precious. For instance, our Cheng family has 800,000 miles of land, so we are called the noble king's soldier tribe. If we have over a million miles of land, we will be called the emperor's soldier clan."

Cheng Chen's tone paused for a moment, and then she continued, "Also, the Dai Family that the old witch mentioned just now only has a territory of 300,000 li, and their strength is obviously much weaker than mine, which is why she was so interested in me. Like she said just now, with my status, if I were to offer my birthday to the Dai Family's Patriarch, he would have to personally go out to welcome me."

"So that's how it is."

Listening to Cheng Chen's introduction, Lin Xing finally had a rough understanding of the Heaven's End Earth's layout.

Next, he asked about the types of cultivation that sects cultivated, as well as other trivial matters.

The two of them chatted until it was dark before they shut their mouths.

Nightfall. Cheng Chen fell asleep. Lin Xing closed his eyes and inspected the bowl of green liquid he had drunk earlier.
