Meet Xuannv

"These people's strength is quite good, all around Rank 30."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Hello there. Are you preparing to enter the Hell Secret Realm?"

The man in the lead said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Ye Chen. We intend to enter the Experience Secret Realm."

"Since it's our first meeting, I don't have much to give you, but please take these few sets of defensive gear and weapons."

Ye Chen threw over the remaining defensive gear sets and a few four-star Divine Artifacts he had previously obtained.

The six were stunned for a moment: "Defensive gear? Three-star rare, and a whole set at that!"

Their current defensive equipment was all piecemeal, just individual pieces.

Seeing a complete set, they were instantly overcome with excitement.

"Thank you! Thank you, Lord Ye Chen!"

"Work hard, keep it up!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and turned to leave.

The six respectfully watched Ye Chen leave.

"The rumors about Lord Ye Chen being good to his subordinates are true after all. It seems our choice this time was the right one!"

"Indeed. Following a powerhouse, and such a good one at that, is truly a very fortunate thing!"

"Lord Ye Chen is truly a legendary figure!"

The six sighed with emotion as they watched Ye Chen's retreating figure.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was already walking toward the Safe Zone.

"Ye Chen, is it dangerous for you at the Law Enforcement Alliance Provincial Department?"

Yu Nian asked with concern, her eyes shimmering.

"It's not dangerous. The Law Enforcement Alliance Provincial Department is full of powerhouses; there are several who are Rank 45 or higher, so there's no need to worry about danger. It's fine!"

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Yu Nian finally felt at ease.

"Mm, regardless of anything, safety comes first. Take care of yourself."

Lin Nuoyi said the same.

Ye Chen nodded.

After returning to the Safe Zone, the group sat there and chatted.

It wasn't until 6:00 PM that Ye Chen decided to make a trip to Qing County.

He was going to Qing County to see Xuan Nu.

"I'm going to Qing County."

After finishing dinner, Ye Chen stood up and said to everyone.

"Ah! Why are you going to Qing County?"

Zhu Qiang asked curiously.

"Xuan Nu has some things going on there, and I happen to have something to give her."

"Oh, that's alright then. Come back early."

"Mm!"

Yu Nian, Lin Nuoyi, and Tang Qiu all stood up at the same time: "Let us go with you!"

The three looked at each other, surprised by each other's actions.

Ye Chen smiled: "No need. I'll go alone; you all stay here in the Safe Zone."

With that, Ye Chen turned and left.

He leaped into the air and flew toward Qing County.

He took out his phone and called Xuan Nu.

This time, Xuan Nu answered immediately.

"Hello, Ye Chen."

"What's the situation over there? I heard from Yu Nian and the others that an accident occurred, and a powerful monster appeared?"

Xuan Nu was silent for a moment before saying: "Mm. A Rank 52 powerhouse suddenly appeared and killed many of my subordinates. Then it wanted to attack Fire Feather and the others, but I stopped it. The condition for the exchange was that I become its partner. It has a very explosive temper; the last time I hung up on you was because it was right beside me."

Ye Chen's heart jolted. As expected, something had happened to Xuan Nu.

"Mm. I'm on my way to Qing County now. I'll be there in about an hour."

"What!"

Xuan Nu was startled!

"Don't, don't come over! You are no match for it. It is extremely strong and belongs to a top-tier race of the Third Order. Even if we both join forces, we are definitely no match for it!"

Xuan Nu said hurriedly, her tone full of anxiety.

"It's fine, I'm confident. Just wait for me there; I'll be there soon!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he didn't give Xuan Nu any chance to refuse and hung up the phone directly.

Forty minutes later, Ye Chen arrived above the Safe Zone and slowly descended onto the tall building.

A beautiful figure was standing on the roof.

Seeing Ye Chen descend, Xuan Nu quickly ran over.

Xuan Nu lowered her voice and said: "Ye Chen, why did you come here! You'll lose your life! I told you I'm fine! That guy only demanded that I become its partner; it won't do anything to me!"

Seeing Xuan Nu's anxious look, Ye Chen smiled: "It's fine, don't worry. Rank 52—I am confident I can fight it now. It hasn't done anything to you, has it?"

Xuan Nu shook her head: "Not yet. My Spirit-Communication Race needs to reach Rank 40 to be completely mature. Until I reach Rank 40, it won't do anything to me."

Xuan Nu said somewhat shyly.

Ye Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected Xuan Nu to answer like that; that wasn't the question he had asked, nor was it about that aspect of things.

"What Rank are you now? How many more soul orbs do you need to advance?"

"I'm currently Rank 36. I still need five soul orbs to obtain the Sixth Order skill."

Xuan Nu said, clutching her lapels.

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately took out all the soul orbs he had obtained, totaling six.

"Here, these are the soul orbs I obtained in S City. Take them all."

"Ah!"

Xuan Nu's eyes widened instantly.

"Six! Six of them! You—where did you get so many!"

Xuan Nu's eyes shone as she looked at the soul orbs.

"I obtained them all recently. Take them."

Xuan Nu suddenly froze in place, her delicate body trembling, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Mwah!"

Xuan Nu suddenly kissed Ye Chen on the cheek.

"Thank you, Ye Chen. You—you are so good to me."

Ye Chen was also a bit stunned, the soft sensation still lingering on his face.

"You, sigh!"

Xuan Nu chuckled: "What? You don't want to? Feel like you lost out? Then I'll let you kiss me back!"

Xuan Nu took the soul orbs and used them all immediately.

A powerful surge of Soul Power enveloped Xuan Nu, slowly flowing into her body.

Ten minutes later, Xuan Nu possessed a powerful Aura.

The mark on her forehead also gained an extra ring.

Xuan Nu said excitedly: "I didn't expect to directly comprehend the Fourth Order skill. I was supposed to need to reach Rank 40 to comprehend it, but I managed to do it directly! Thank you, Ye Chen!"

"It's nothing!"

Just then, a deep, booming voice rang out.

"Xuan Nu! Xuan Nu!"

The voice was almost a roar, and the loud sound echoed throughout the Safe Zone.

"No way, it's back!"

Xuan Nu's expression tightened, and she said worriedly.

Ye Chen looked down; a tall figure was standing in the night.

The figure suddenly looked up, meeting Ye Chen's gaze exactly!

"Pet Master?"

The figure emitted a low voice.

"Whoosh!"

The figure took off quickly and landed directly on the roof.

Upon seeing Xuan Nu and Ye Chen, the figure was slightly stunned, and its expression instantly turned incomparably cold.

Gu Yu was 2.5 meters tall, with a burly build, and its entire body was light blue.

On its chest, there was a vortex, looking like a pool of water swirling on its chest.

Wearing a set of aqua-blue armor, it appeared incomparably sturdy.

On top of its head, there was also a long feather.
