Chapter 548: Little God of Wealth Ma Ling’er, Troubled Sword Fei
Following the direction where she had just fallen, Chen Changsheng successfully found the fainted being.
On the ground lay a beautiful young maiden, her delicate face captivating, though her clothes were stained with mud.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng immediately began examining her.
Jian Fei: ???
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s hands all over her, Jian Fei said speechlessly, “Sir, with your status, you could have any woman.”
“Such opportunistic behavior is not befitting of a gentleman.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, “If you don’t want your eyes, I can dig them out right now.”
“Do you not see that my hand is still three inches away from her skin?”
“Suddenly fainting and falling from such a height, do you think she might be injured?”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng took a token from the woman’s waist.
“Ling’er of the Donkey Clan.”
“Ling’er!”
The moment he said her name, Jian Fei’s tone instantly elevated several levels.
Immediately afterward, Jian Fei took back the token from Chen Changsheng and pulled him back a few steps.
Even Chen Changsheng was somewhat bewildered by this action.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to tell me that this Ma Ling’er is some kind of man-eating monster?”
“My lord, are you really unaware or pretending to be unaware? This Ma Ling’er is even more terrifying than a man-eating monster.”
“She is the precious daughter of General Heavenly Horse and also the direct disciple of the God of Wealth, the Little God of Wealth.”
“If the Heavenly Court finds out we hurt her, we’ll be in big trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng said helplessly, “What does her identity have to do with us?”
“If we hurt someone, we should apologize and compensate. She wouldn’t refuse reason, would she?”
“Miss Ma can be reasonable, but those around her might not be.”
“Ma Ling’er is known as the Little God of Wealth and is the direct disciple of the Heavenly Court’s God of Wealth.”
“Throughout the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, countless young prodigies wish to become her dao companion.”
“If they find out about this incident, do you think they would use our heads to please Ma Ling’er?”
After hearing Jian Fei’s words, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “Your analysis has some merit, but there’s one thing you got wrong.”
“They will only cut off your head, not mine, because they can’t defeat me.”
Jian Fei: “…”
I really thank you.
Speechless after being rebutted, Jian Fei immediately tried to drag Ma Ling’er away.
“Sir, whether you save her or not is up to you, but for my sake, please don’t save her.”
“Her injuries aren’t serious; she’ll wake up soon.”
“Out of pity for me, let’s leave.”
Jian Fei tugged at Ma Ling’er’s collar, pleading with Chen Changsheng.
But Chen Changsheng looked at Jian Fei with a half-smile.
Noticing Chen Changsheng’s expression, Jian Fei instinctively looked down and saw that the unconscious Ma Ling’er had opened her eyes.
Since Jian Fei was standing above Ma Ling’er’s head, when he lifted her, her close-fitting clothes revealed some gaps.
Standing where Jian Fei was, one could catch a glimpse of the view.
“Smack!”
The loud slap startled countless birds.
…
“Thank you very much for saving me!”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”
Ma Ling’er bowed to Chen Changsheng in gratitude, while Chen Changsheng waved his hand with a smile.
But Jian Fei wasn’t in a good mood. He was holding his swollen cheek with a look of grievance.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “Why are you looking at me? For taking advantage of Miss Ma, a slap is mild.”
“Who asked you to be dishonest.”
Hearing this, Jian Fei immediately defended himself, “It wasn’t intentional, I…”
“Shut up!”
Ma Ling’er sternly reprimanded him.
Facing Ma Ling’er’s gaze, Jian Fei immediately closed his mouth obediently.
With Jian Fei silenced, Ma Ling’er turned to Chen Changsheng and said, “Sir, this is just a misunderstanding.”
“But as a woman, I still need my reputation. Please don’t tell anyone else about this.”
“Don’t worry, my mouth is famous for being tight.”
“But I don’t know if others can keep this secret.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng causing more trouble, Jian Fei immediately patted his chest and said, “Miss Ma, rest assured, I’ve already forgotten everything that happened today.”
Ignoring Jian Fei’s assurance, Ma Ling’er continued, “Sir, it seems you’re heading towards the Sword Qi Great Wall.”
“May I ask if Sir plans to attend the Sword Cultivator Conference?”
“That’s correct. It seems Miss Ma is also attending the Sword Cultivator Conference. Why don’t we travel together?”
“That’s exactly what I had in mind.”
“Hehehe!”
“With Miss Ma’s company, it’s a great honor for me.”
“But why did Miss Ma fall from the sky earlier? Could it be due to a problem with her cultivation?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, Ma Ling’er’s eyes flickered with unease and she said, “Earlier, while flying through the air, I suddenly felt a powerful momentum and bloodline pressure.”
“Because I was thinking about something at the time, I lost focus, which caused me to faint.”
“I see. It seems there might be a strong power cultivating here. For safety, let’s walk instead.”
“After all, flying over the heads of elders isn’t very respectful.”
“Sir speaks wisely!”
Chen Changsheng and Ma Ling’er chatted happily, while Jian Fei was filled with resentment.
Jian Fei: “…”
You get to be the hero. If I could beat you, I’d definitely mess with you.
…
In the evening.
Chen Changsheng and his group took a short rest on a hillside.
After some time chatting, Ma Ling’er noticed that this man was well-read and knowledgeable, comparable to the top prodigies of today.
Thinking of this, Ma Ling’er’s eyes lit up, and she casually said, “Sir, your speech exudes the style of a great master. May I ask which school or sect you belong to?”
“Hehehe!”
“Misunderstanding, sir. I’m unaffiliated, a wandering cultivator.”
Hearing this, Ma Ling’er smiled slightly and said, “Since sir doesn’t wish to say, then I won’t press further.”
“May I ask which school or sect this friend beside you belongs to?”
Facing Ma Ling’er’s inquiry, Jian Fei wanted to introduce himself.
But remembering his background, Jian Fei immediately closed his mouth in shame.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said indifferently, “His name is Jian Fei, a demon cultivator, and he is the disciple of the world’s number one demon.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er first looked stunned, then laughed and said, “Sir is joking, how could he be a demon cultivator?”
“I apologize, I’m not joking, he is indeed a demon cultivator.”
