Chapter 2543: Chapter 2544: The Mysterious Object

"Do you want to eat a little?"

Nangong Xue quickly turned her head, showing a look of disgust, as if what was offered to her was not delicious food, but a pile of dung.

"Who would want to eat something as bad as yours?"

Lin Chen tilted his head, not expecting such a lack of gratitude from the other party. In that case, he decided to just dig in himself.

Lin Chen put the meat in his hand into his mouth and started munching, and then took out some wine, eating and drinking at the same time.

Although Nangong Xue outwardly expressed disdain for these foods, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva when the aroma reached her nose.

Nangong Xue had tasted many delicacies, but she had never smelled something so delicious. She quietly glanced at the venison, and when she found Lin Chen glancing at her, she quickly turned her head again.

"Hey, I said, do you want to eat a bit? It’s ok, I won’t harm you." Lin Chen pulled a leg from the venison and handed it to her.

Nangong Xue eyed the venison leg up and down, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then cautiously extended her right hand and took the venison leg.

After taking a bite, Nangong Xue found herself unable to stop because the taste was simply too delicious. It was the best she had ever tasted.

So Nangong Xue began to feast, and before Lin Chen could eat anything, the remaining venison was completely devoured by this girl.

Lin Chen was somewhat incredulous, almost doubting his eyes. How could such a seemingly quiet and graceful girl eat so shockingly?

"You’re amazing!"

Nangong Xue’s face flushed, and she didn’t say anything. She turned around and closed her eyes.

The next day, Nangong Xue’s body had slightly recovered, but she found that she still couldn’t move normally, and her internal power was somewhat constrained.

Lin Chen continued to bring fresh food from outside, handing it to Nangong Xue.

Nangong Xue no longer pretended otherwise; she needed to replenish her body’s energy for her wounds to heal quickly.

And it must be admitted that his cooking was indeed delicious. Even though it was just ordinary game, it tasted even better than gourmet dishes.

Initially, Nangong Xue harbored hostility toward Lin Chen, but after spending a few days together, the previous unpleasantness had all but disappeared, replaced mostly by gratitude.

Moreover, she grew to admire him slightly.

She knew nothing about cooking, something usually done by women, yet Lin Chen handled it with ease, far surpassing her skills.

One must admit there certainly were substantial differences among people.

And despite her making things difficult for him repeatedly at first, he never took it to heart, saving her from the brink of death time and again.

It’s truly hard to hold a grudge against someone like that.

"Where on earth are you headed?" Lin Chen asked, curious as to why this girl had suddenly come alone to such a remote and dark forest.

In fact, Lin Chen had wanted to ask Nangong Xue for quite some time, but he knew it wasn’t the right time. Now, after a few days of getting to know each other, they were quite familiar.

"I’m not from this continent of yours."

When Nangong Xue said this, her tone was particularly calm, as if she was explaining a very simple fact.

Lin Chen was also calm, as if everything was within his expectations, nodding slightly.

The girl was a little surprised, not expecting him to be so indifferent about her true origins.

"I’m not from your continent, and you don’t find that strange?"

"What’s so strange about that?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"I only said I came to your continent to find someone."

Lin Chen didn’t expect that she had traveled thousands of miles just for someone she loved, having to admit she was indeed a very devoted woman.

"Is it someone you love?"

Suddenly, Lin Chen felt a sense of kinship with Nangong Xue, as he too had traveled far and wide across the Tianyuan continent for the same reason, to find the girl he loved.

Nangong Xue shook her head, frowning, denying his guess.

"I didn’t come to your continent to find someone I love, but to find a being that inherited the supreme entity."

Lin Chen was slightly shaken, with countless thoughts surging in his mind. Why was she looking for the supreme entity?

Driven by instinct, Lin Chen chose to hide his true identity, as his intuition told him revealing it now would not benefit him at all.

"Why are you looking for them?"

Nangong Xue glanced at Lin Chen and then looked out at the blue sky and green fields outside the cave.

If it had been before, she definitely wouldn’t have told him these things, but after these days together, she now trusted Lin Chen enough to share everything.

Moreover, Nangong Xue indeed felt overwhelmed and hoped to find someone to confide in.

"I am the daughter of Nangong Wentian from the Nangong clan."

Although Lin Chen appeared calm on the surface, his heart was filled with countless tidal waves, knowing what the Nangong clan signified across the entire Tianyuan continent.

There are three most influential families on the Tianyuan continent: the Nangong family, the Dongfang family, and the Ximen family.

In the past, the Nangong family was at the top, but unfortunately, over time, the Dongfang and Ximen families rose to prominence, while the Nangong family chose to decline.

"I don’t know if you understand the Nangong family, but we are now in decline, and soon the other two families will join forces to strike against us."

Lin Chen had vaguely heard of such matters before but was never sure if they were entirely true.

Now hearing it from Nangong Xue herself was proof that the plan of the other two families against the Nangong family was indeed genuine.

It’s unimaginable how despicable those families could be.

"Now your Nangong family is in crisis; don’t tell me you’re looking for the supreme entity to get help." Lin Chen was a bit curious.

The Ximen and Dongfang families aren’t easy to deal with; their combined strength surpassed that of the Nangong family.

The scariest part isn’t even that.

The main thing is that the two Clan Leaders of the Dongfang and Nangong families have already reached the God Sovereign realm.
