Chapter 88
The Eight-Foot Lady
Jiang Chao had actually noticed the problem that Su E discovered long ago, but for various reasons, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
After all, the other party came from the Imperial Observatory and had a special status. In addition, Jiang Chao was not familiar with the other party and the two had no relationship.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Chao was her savior. The first time he helped her subdue the rampaging Blood Demon Child, the second time they met, Jiang Chao was fighting with that wandering sorcerer.
Zuo Xiaoqian seemed to have a way to stop the sorcerer, but she didn't make a move until the very end. Instead, Jiang Chao's helpers, Qingling and Jinyu, suddenly appeared and relieved Jiang Chao's predicament.
Then, Zuo Xiaoqian was seriously injured, lost the prisoner Nangong Hao, and was even severely injured by those men in black, unable to maintain the turbulence of her internal energy, requiring Jiang Chao to cultivate with her...
Tsk, if you think about it this way, Zuo Xiaoqian already owes me countless favors.
How will she repay this debt when she wakes up in the future?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chao felt a headache coming on for this censor.
Surely I can't offer myself in return?
If that's the case, it's hard to say whether it's repaying a debt of gratitude or seeking revenge.
As Jiang Chao thought this, he couldn't help but glance a few more times at the woman on the bed who looked to be only in her early twenties.
The other person's appearance was not bad at all; on the contrary, based solely on her looks, she was even better than Su E.
However, Su E had the advantage of being older and had spent a long time with Jiang Chao. She was also like a kind and understanding older sister, gentle and considerate, and never aggressive.
In comparison, appearance seems less important.
Seeing Jiang Chao staring at the other person intently, Su E smiled gently and said:
"Ah Lang, you stay here and watch over her. I'm going out now."
After saying that, the woman put the golden silkworm gu, which had been lying motionless on her finger after eating its fill, into her sachet and walked outside.
Jiang Chao quickly followed, "Since she's alright, there's no need for me to stay here and watch over her. Let's go out together and see how that Blood Fiend Child is doing."
The two left the house and went into the yard.
The female knight was holding a roasted chicken that she had gotten from somewhere, and was shaking the Blood Demon Child.
Blood Demon Child was extremely envious. Like a normal child, he jumped around trying to snatch the roast chicken from Lady Chu's hand, laughing incessantly.
The female knight-errant was amused and kept laughing, seemingly finding it particularly interesting to tease the infant spirit.
Jiang Chao's face darkened slightly as he watched this scene.
"Miss Chu, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing Jiang Chao's voice, Chu Ning instinctively turned around.
However, in that instant she turned around, the infant spirit snatched the roast chicken from her hand and took the chicken, which was bigger than its head, to the side to feast on.
"Ah! I haven't even had a bite yet!"
Chu, the female knight, exclaimed in surprise. She then glared at Jiang Chao, venting her resentment on him, "Jiang Qilin, why did you suddenly call me?!"
Jiang Chao sighed, rubbing his forehead with one hand:
"You really don't know this little guy's background? He's a Blood Fiend Child, not an ordinary three-year-old child."
"If you anger it, and I'm not around, you're no match for it."
The female knight snorted, "How could I not know? From the moment I saw it, I knew this child was the Blood Fiend Child you spoke of, but so what?"
"Look at it now! Apart from being a bit gluttonous, how does it resemble a demon?"
Jiang Chao didn't want to argue with her any further. Anyway, the infant spirit wasn't very fierce anymore, so he just let her be.
"We need to be extra careful. The group of men in black who injured Lord Zuo and kidnapped Nangong Hao seem to still be in this city. They might be watching our every move in the dark right now. You need to be on guard."
As if his words were law, just as Jiang Chao finished speaking, a golden figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
It's Jin Yu!
"Young Master, be careful! There was an extremely powerful aura coming from afar, and it seemed to have ill intentions. Qingling has already given chase."
Having said that, Jin Yu, who had just appeared, flashed away again and disappeared, clearly going to chase after someone.
Jiang Chao was taken aback. He exchanged glances with the three women present, and then his expression darkened.
Jiang Chao looked at Chu Nvxia and Su E, "Take care of yourselves, I'll go check on them."
Just as Jiang Chao was about to leave, a pleasant voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Hey, you guys are chatting?"
Jiang Chao suddenly turned his head.
His gaze immediately sharpened.
A woman in a red robe with an extremely tall figure came into view.
The woman was at least seven and a half feet tall, almost eight feet, much taller than the average man, but she didn't appear to be too big.
If a comparison is to be made, only if Jiang Chao uses his bloodline power to increase his size dramatically can he surpass this woman in height.
This woman was slim where she should be slim, and voluptuous where she should be voluptuous, with a shapely figure. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face that seemed to defy all conventions, she looked exceptionally alluring.
The woman in the red robe was not only much taller than ordinary people, but also possessed terrifying strength.
The aura emanating from him made Jiang Chao, who had grown up under the tutelage of a Grandmaster, feel immense pressure.
"What is the purpose of this young lady's visit? Why has she come uninvited?"
Jiang Chao, his mind on edge, stepped forward, shielding the women behind him, and asked in a loud voice.
"Hehe, little brother, are you talking about your sister?"
The woman in the red robe raised her extremely long right arm, covering her red lips with a soft laugh. Her gaze swept over them, a chilling glint flashing in her eyes:
"I didn't come here to watch you young people flirting and joking around, but rather to..."
"You're a murderer."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao felt a chill run down his spine and immediately began to circulate his inner energy, ready to unleash his bloodline power to fight!
This woman exuded an extremely terrifying aura, even surpassing that of the Imperial Censor Zuo Xiaoqian in her prime. She was no ordinary person!
Based on his current martial arts skills alone, Jiang Chao knew he was no match for his opponent.
Then we'll have to use the power of our bloodline!
"Little brother, don't be so nervous. I'm not going to eat you. I just want to kill someone."
"We have no grudge against this...sister, so why would she come to kill us?"
Jiang Chao asked.
"Whether there's a grudge or not isn't up to you, little brother."
After the woman finished speaking, her gaze swept over Su E, the heroine Chu, and Qin Yueyao in turn. Her bewitching eyes finally settled on the infant spirit trembling in the corner of the courtyard, clutching a roasted chicken.
"This little thing has followed me for so many years, consuming so many of my treasures. It's only been less than six months since that old geezer from the Imperial Observatory captured it, and it already disowns me as its master. Tell me, shouldn't it be killed?"
Jiang Chao raised an eyebrow. "He's here to find Blood Fiend Child?"
Jiang Chao didn't dare turn around, fearing the woman was trying to trick him.
If the other party's target was him, or the three women behind him, he probably wouldn't have time to react in the time it took for him to turn around.
"May I ask how you should be addressed, senior?"
Jiang Chao immediately changed his tune:
"This Blood Fiend Child has nothing to do with us. Senior, you may kill or torture him as you please, but we hope that you will not harm the innocent."
