Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2291: Chapter 2292: Departure

The pills were quite common in the Storage Ring, so Lin Chen naturally didn’t hesitate to consume them like candy.

The Spiritual Energy within his body, fueled by these pills, recovered at an incredibly fast pace, akin to adding more firewood to a blazing fire.

In less than an hour, Lin Chen had fully recovered. He then opened his eyes, stared at the ancient sword before him, and resumed his slow-paced training.

This kind of training was tedious, but Lin Chen’s face showed no sign of impatience; rather, it was filled with intense interest.

Back on Earth, he had been fascinated by tales of transcendent water, flying with a sword, and defeating enemies from a thousand miles away.

Although those were merely distant legends, here in this realm, such possibilities were tangible.

Therefore, Lin Chen wasn’t hasty with the slow progress, as it also trained his ability to control Spiritual Energy.

Time passed as Lin Chen continued his training.

After an unknown number of times regaining his strength, the light of dawn broke through the night sky, reflecting on the verdant forest.

Lin Chen picked up the sword and stored it in the Storage Ring. He then stood up, took a deep breath, soaking in the morning air.

The morning dew, mixed with the earth’s moisture, was inhaled deeply by Lin Chen.

This invigorated Lin Chen, dissipating the fatigue from a night of training.

He stretched, shaking off the weariness, and washed his face with the stream at his side.

A night’s training hadn’t drained Lin Chen’s spirit; rather, it brought slight improvements due to the cyclical consumption of Spiritual Energy.

He oriented himself in the forest, then swiftly and nimbly headed back to the wooden hut.

Having stayed this long, Lin Chen planned to bid farewell to Pan Yan.

After all, Lin Chen had many things to do. With his strength restored, he naturally didn’t want to waste further time here, though he owed a debt of gratitude to Pan Yan, which he intended to repay in the future.

”Young friend, why are you up so early?”

When Lin Chen returned to the wooden hut, Pan Yan was already awake and busy inside. Hearing the light footsteps, he immediately saw Lin Chen approaching from outside.

”I just regained my strength, thought I’d go for a walk.”

Lin Chen smiled lightly, not elaborating further, but simply stated this.

”It seems you can’t sit still, young friend,” Pan Yan remarked.

”Just a habit.”

Lin Chen spoke as he entered the hut, bowing slightly to Pan Yan, he said, ”I’ve been a bother these days; I came to bid you farewell.”

Pan Yan was surprised and said, ”Leaving so soon?”

”I truly have too many matters at hand; once I’m entirely free, I’ll return to express my gratitude to you.”

Lin Chen bowed to Pan Yan, his eyes full of sincerity.

”You are too polite, since you’ve decided to leave, I won’t hold you back. May you have a smooth journey.” Pan Yan nodded slightly.

Listening to Lin Chen’s previous words, Pan Yan detected some clues; Lin Chen’s severe injury naturally had a reason, perhaps a companion encountered misfortune too, which naturally caused Lin Chen unease.

Wanting to leave now made sense, and thus, he wouldn’t try to retain him much.

Lin Chen bid goodbye to Pan Yan and went to the inner room, awakening the slumbering Xiao Bai.

”I’m leaving. Do you wish to stay here or come with me?”

Xiao Bai, awakened by Lin Chen, widened its eyes, looking at Lin Chen in a sleepy daze.

After Lin Chen finished speaking, Xiao Bai’s eyes suddenly widened, scrambling up from the bed, and meowing at Lin Chen, clearly wanting to go with him.

Seeing this, Lin Chen’s expression was somewhat complex. From the heart, Lin Chen didn’t want Xiao Bai following him.

After all, Lin Chen frequently encountered danger and didn’t want Xiao Bai in such peril.

But Xiao Bai had saved him several times, so before Lin Chen left, it was natural to say goodbye.

...

Xiao Bai leaped from the bed to Lin Chen’s side, bit his leg lightly, then stepped forward toward the outside world.

Lin Chen followed along, seeing Xiao Bai stand in front of Pan Yan. Like a human, it straightened its body, holding its hooves in front, nodding slightly at Pan Yan, mewing softly.

”Interesting, quite the clever creature.” Pan Yan looked at Xiao Bai with slight surprise. Even in his long life, he had only heard of such intelligent wild beasts, but seeing it firsthand was extraordinary.

Lin Chen felt the same. He knew Xiao Bai understood human nature, but didn’t expect it to be so adept.

Animals can be like this, what about humans?

After Pan Yan finished cleaning the dishes, he returned Xiao Bai’s gesture.

Then he looked to Lin Chen and asked, ”Why not eat before you leave?”

Lin Chen smiled faintly; his increased strength meant he didn’t need to eat for days, and knowing Pan Yan had guests today, he decided not to impose further.

He raised his hand slightly and shook his head, saying, ”No need.”

After speaking, Lin Chen, with Xiao Bai, headed outside. Before leaving, Xiao Bai notably glanced at the still sleeping Xiao Ying inside the hut.

Xiao Ying, besides Lin Chen, was the only other kind human it had seen in a long while.

As for others, most sought its life or intended to capture and keep it.

If not for Lin Chen’s life-saving grace and its own principles, it might have stayed, but now it chose to follow Lin Chen onwards.

Lin Chen’s current destination was the Green Ripple Sect. It was said Chen Jie had been taken by a Spirit Boat, most likely by people from the Green Ripple Sect.

However, all this was merely Lin Chen’s conjecture; without seeing it with his own eyes, he was naturally uneasy.

”I hope all is well,” Lin Chen sighed. Now he could only pin his hopes on this, otherwise, facing the disappearance of Chen Jie, Lin Chen would struggle to face Chen Lin.

Suddenly, as Lin Chen pondered, the sound of swift winds stirred above, and a massive object covered the blazing sun overhead, casting a vast shadow over the lush forest.

Lin Chen looked up, and above him, a Spirit Boat slowly drifted across, with two tiny figures standing at its helm.

Lin Chen saw them clearly, and his expression instantly froze.
