Versatile Sword Cultivator

The old tree in front of him was actually a tree spirit that had cultivated into a tree demon, its strength at least at the mid-Gathering Spirit Realm.

However, it wasn't a boss, just an elite monster.

Lin Jichen was about to remove his mask and use his strength to eliminate the tree demon when a voice sounded from behind, nearly making him curse out loud.

He turned his head to look, and who else could it be but that bastard Chu Tianhan!

Chu Tianhan stared intently at Lin Jichen, the two of them less than half a meter apart.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous as Chu Tianhan continued to approach, his body getting closer and closer to Lin Jichen.

Especially those naked, piercing eyes, as if he wanted to devour Lin Jichen.

Chu Tianhan smiled indulgently and said, "Little fool, it seems your sect mission is quite challenging. Can you handle it?"

Lin Jichen almost vomited his dinner from the night before, goosebumps rising all over his body. He wished he could slap this pervert away.

I'm a man! Not into guys!

"Heh... heh heh..." Lin Jichen forced a fake smile and pretended, "I didn't expect to encounter an opponent at the Gathering Spirit Realm in this sect mission."

Chu Tianhan smiled confidently, then glanced at the tree demon. When he saw the Violet Illusion Spirit Incense nearby, his eyes showed some surprise.

Isn't this Lin Jichen's mission?

"Luoyu, is your sect mission also to find the Violet Illusion Spirit Incense?"

Chu Tianhan grew suspicious, and Lin Jichen's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly replied, "Yes, why? Is Chu Daoyou's mission also to find the Violet Illusion Spirit Incense?"

Chu Tianhan's doubts dissipated, attributing it to coincidence. Perhaps Jiang Luoyu's mission just happened to coincide with Lin Jichen's.

"No, I was just asking. But Luoyu, can you defeat this tree demon?"

Lin Jichen had a sudden idea, pretending to be troubled, pouting his red lips, frowning slightly, and sighing, "It seems I overestimated myself. Master was right; I'm too ambitious. I think I should give up on this mission and return to the sect to train harder. Senior Brother Tianhan, you should take the Violet Illusion Spirit Incense. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying this, Lin Jichen left with a face full of disappointment.

At this moment, a hand reached out and grabbed Lin Jichen's 'delicate jade hand.'

"Luoyu, don't be discouraged. If you can't handle this tree demon, I'm here. If Luoyu wants it, not just a Violet Illusion Spirit Incense, even the moon in the sky, I'll find a way to get it for you."

Chu Tianhan held Lin Jichen's hand, speaking tenderly, even stroking it.

Lin Jichen almost couldn't hold it in, goosebumps all over, wishing he could punch him a few times.

But for the sake of his life, he could only endure, sacrificing his dignity.

"Really? Senior Brother Tianhan, you're so good to me~"

Lin Jichen looked moved, his red lips slightly parted, blushing shyly.

That charming look made Chu Tianhan's mouth dry and heart race. He was in love, deeply in love. Such a beautiful woman must be his!

As for Nangong Yue, she never had feelings for him anyway, so why should he keep trying?

The woman in front of him, in terms of appearance and temperament, was no less than Nangong Yue.

And her attitude towards him was so good, calling him Senior Brother Tianhan so sweetly it made his bones melt.

Compared to Nangong Yue's cold face, he naturally preferred Jiang Luoyu.

As long as he won her heart, they would surely become a legendary couple, haha!

Thinking of this, Chu Tianhan passionately wanted to embrace Lin Jichen.

Unfortunately, Lin Jichen deftly avoided him.

"Senior Brother Tianhan, the tree demon is still there. You promised to help me. You won't go back on your word, will you?" 'Jiang Luoyu' said shyly.

Chu Tianhan laughed heartily, filled with fighting spirit, and said loudly, "Blame me for being rude. Mainly because you are  too beautiful. Don't worry, I'll deal with this tree demon and get that Violet Illusion Spirit Incense for you."

"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Tianhan. You hold off the tree demon, and I'll gather the herb. Once it's done, I'll give you a special gift." Jiang Luoyu smiled shyly.

Chu Tianhan was delighted, already guessing what the special gift could be.

Could it be her first kiss?

Thinking of this, Chu Tianhan was filled with enthusiasm, his body seemingly brimming with endless energy.

"Alright, I'll deal with this tree demon now. I'm looking forward to Luoyu's gift."

With that, he didn't forget to throw Lin Jichen a flirtatious wink, thinking he looked very handsome.

As soon as he let go, Lin Jichen was already rubbing the place he had touched, wishing he could scrub off a layer of skin.

At the same time, Lin Jichen felt several waves of nausea, utterly disgusted.

Chu Tianhan, still unaware, was filled with fantasies and motivation. He summoned his sword and charged at the tree demon.

He was still waiting for Luoyu's gift.

While Chu Tianhan fought the tree demon, Lin Jichen took the opportunity to fly over and successfully gathered the Violet Illusion Spirit Incense.

Then he took out a teleportation talisman and tore it without hesitation.

Chu Tianhan quickly killed the tree demon and smiled as he looked towards 'Jiang Luoyu,' expecting her admiration and embrace.

Jiang Luoyu, holding the Violet Illusion Spirit Incense, was smiling at him.

Chu Tianhan posed stylishly and said, "The tree demon is dead. What is the gift you mentioned, Luoyu?"

"Come over here, Senior Brother Tianhan, and you'll find out." Jiang Luoyu beckoned him gently.

Chu Tianhan excitedly flew over.

"Close your eyes, Senior Brother Tianhan. The gift is coming." Jiang Luoyu said shyly.

Chu Tianhan's breathing quickened, his face flushed. He laughed and quickly closed his eyes, puckering his lips, ready to receive Jiang Luoyu's tender kiss.

However, instead of a kiss, he received a loud slap!

Smack!

Chu Tianhan instantly opened his eyes, covering his face in disbelief.

"I'll give you a big slap! Do you like it?"

Jiang Luoyu, gritting her teeth, rolled up her sleeves and shouted at him.

Chu Tianhan, not understanding, asked, "A big slap? What kind of gift is that? Luoyu, why..."

Before he could finish, he noticed Jiang Luoyu's figure starting to disappear, a sign of the teleportation talisman.

Just before Jiang Luoyu vanished, she removed her mask, instantly changing her appearance.

Lin Jichen!

Chu Tianhan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Jichen, however, smiled at him and said, "Senior Brother, thank you for completing the mission for me. Your junior is deeply grateful, hahaha..."

With a burst of wild laughter, Lin Jichen completely disappeared.

Leaving Chu Tianhan standing alone on the mountain peak, looking like an orphan.

Moments later, the entire mountain was leveled.

A roar shook the heavens and earth.

"Lin Jichen, I will tear you to pieces!!! Grind your bones to dust!!!"
