Once Jian Shen was sure that the soldiers were all retreating, he no longer wasted any time looking at the situation outside and descended to the ground.Opening the door and walking inside along with Cui Yan, Jian Shen began thinking about what it was that these women did for one of the Lee City"s overlords to send an entire army.
While sharing the same curiosity, Cui Yan also left very happy that Jian Shen had gotten in a conflict with the Dong Clan.
Considering how all of the overlords placed a lot of importance on their face and pride, the Dong Clan definitely swallow what Jian Shen did by just lying down.
So, it was only a matter of time before they sent someone to attack Jian Shen, and when they did it"d be the same as increasing his motivation in fighting against them and try to destroy the clan.
Using that motivation to her advantage, Cui Yan was sure that along with the strongest experts still remaining in her clan they"d be able to completely get rid of the Dong Clan turning the four major enemies into three.
Just thinking about this caused her usual cool smile to turn into a wide and exciting smile due to which she began looking like an old cougar who stopped a handsome young man.
...
"Huh? It turned silent so suddenly."
As Li Suyin felt surprised at everything outside turning silent, those with a higher cultivation only smiled and shared eye contact.
"He came back."
Feeling confident once Jian Shen came back, Xifeng who was just planning to go outside and deal with those noisy insects no longer had such thoughts.
Instead, she went back to curiously looking at the young girl they had saved not too long back.
They didn"t notice it when she was covered in dust and everything, but once all the high-level pills cured her injuries and they all came together in cleaning her up, the little girl looked very cute.
So cute while still possessing a n.o.ble aura that made her look like she was a princess of some Empire.
Especially once they dressed her up in luxurious clothes they all felt that maybe she really was a princess that was kidnapped.
Unfortunately, none of their ideas could be proven true due to the little girl not having spoken a single word since the moment they saved her.
It was almost as if she didn"t know to speak at all.
But, that couldn"t be possible, right?
Such a pretty girl definitely couldn"t be unable to speak.
Thus, the group of women thought that maybe she was still in shock due to which she wasn"t speaking to any of them.
Therefore, all of the women felt their innate motherly emotions and feelings flow out due to which they began showering the little girl with as much love as possible.
Of course, what they meant by love was feeding her the various delicacies that they made the maids they called back cook.
It was around this time that Jian Shen opened the door and came inside the courtyard.
While the women who sensed the presence of another woman with him frowned a little, they didn"t show that emotions for too long due to going back to caring for the little girl.
"What did you all do to cause them to send an army? Did you kidnap someone from their younger generation?"
Having heard them say something about handing a kid over, it wasn"t surprising that Jian Shen thought like this.
Unfortunately, even before the women could explain what it was that truly happened, the little girl who looked at Jian Shen suddenly stood up.
With her golden eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly like stars she ran towards the still confused boy and jumped into his embrace while shouting, "Papa!"
Instinctively wrapping his hands around the young girl who grabbed onto his neck, Jian Shen looked at his women hoping to hear some sort of an explanation.
What happened, however, was then glaring back at him with a similar expression.
Rolling his eyes at how he now seemed like the little girl"s father, Jian Shen said, "Can someone tell me what"s happening?"
Hearing those words, despite all of the women looking at him suspiciously Meirong stepped forward and explained everything that happened after Jian Shen left.
Listening to the explanation, Jian Shen looked at the girl inside his arms curiously.
What was it that she did to make that clan have their soldiers tie her up in chains? From the looks of it, she didn"t seem to possess any cultivation that would cause others to be scared of her.

However, just as these thoughts entered Jian Shen"s mind the girl who was dangling from his neck began increasing the strength she was using.
At first, he could still maintain his smile, but soon even with his near Immortal body Jian Shen found it hard to breathe following which the sound of his bones cracking could be heard due to the girl continuing to increase the strength she was using.
"Ughhh... How is she so strong?"
Left with no choice since the girl wasn"t willing to listen to his words and kept in tightening her grasp around his neck, Jian Shen began using his own strength to pry her hands away from the back of his neck.
It was only now that he managed to take a proper breath.
But, as soon as she felt Jian Shen forcibly moving her hands away, the little girl"s eyes were quickly filled with tears and looked like she"d start crying if he didn"t let her hug him.
