NOVEL WEB Chapter 623 Shen Fu
He casually threw out a Message Talisman, watching as a point of Spiritual Light streaked towards the fort ahead.
Wang Chen waited quietly in place.
This Message Talisman was from Zhang Mushan's private collection, specifically for contacting his mother-in-law.
Wang Chen wasn't sure if the talisman could reach her hands; if she wasn't in the fort, then he could only return after some time.
There were three more talismans just like this one.
By now, both little girls had stopped crying, timidly clutching the corner of Wang Chen's clothes, their large eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
The past two months had undoubtedly been a nightmare for them.
The pain brought by their unfortunate experiences might take a lifetime to heal!
Wang Chen touched their heads tenderly, sighing silently in his heart.
His abilities were limited; this was all the help he could provide.
He only hoped that Zhang Mushan and his wife could safely get through this ordeal, and that Zhang Zhuanghu would enjoy good fortune, so that the family of five could be reunited someday!
Engrossed in thought, suddenly, a white figure flashed by and landed in front of Wang Chen.
The person was extremely beautiful, dressed in a white skirt with an elegant figure, but her pretty face was as cold as frost, making her seem unapproachable.
Wang Chen was taken aback.
Because this white-dressed woman was very young and bore a six to seven points resemblance to Madam Zhang.
Could she be her sister?
"Who are you?"
The woman in the white dress asked, "Why do you have Zhang Mushan's message talisman?"
Her voice was very cold.
Wang Chen suddenly came to his senses and quickly asked, "Are you Senior Shen Fu in person?"
The woman in the white dress nodded, "I am Shen Fu."
Indeed!
Wang Chen had not expected that the mother of the Zhang family's lady would actually look younger and more beautiful than her daughter.
But it was normal for cultivators to reserve their youthful appearance, so he was only slightly surprised.
"I am Wang Chen."
Wang Chen greeted with a bow, "I am a friend of Big Brother Zhang Mushan."
"At Big Brother Zhang's request, I have brought his two daughters, your granddaughters, here, to ask for your help in taking care of them for a time."
Shen Fu furrowed her delicate brows, "Granddaughters? They had more children?"
The female cultivator's gaze fell on the little girls by Wang Chen's side, her eyes revealing an extremely complex expression.
"Yes."
Wang Chen gently patted the twins, "Yun, Xia, this is your grandmother."
The older sister Yun was very shy and immediately hid behind him.
Xia weakly called out, "Grandma."
This word "Grandma" softened Shen Fu's eyes.
She beckoned to them, "Come here."
With Wang Chen's encouragement, the two little girls overcame their fear of strangers and slowly approached Shen Fu.
The similarity to Madam Zhang's features made them drop their guard more easily.
Shen Fu squatted down and tenderly embraced both Yun and Xia in her arms, her silent motions exuding tender warmth.
A cultivator like her could tell at a glance whether the blood of their own ran in the girls before her.
And as the two girls snuggled into Shen Fu's embrace, they simultaneously yawned.
Closing their eyes, they fell deeply asleep.
Carrying one in each arm, Shen Fu asked in a stern voice, "What exactly happened?"
She clearly did not want her granddaughter to hear certain harsh truths, and thus she cast a spell that put the two to sleep.
Thus, Wang Chen told the whole story, exactly as it had happened, then said, "I am not very powerful, I could only rescue Yun and Xia."
"Thank you."
Shen Fu looked at him and said, "Zhang Mushan is fortunate to have a friend like you!"
Although Wang Chen made the rescue of the sisters sound effortless, Shen Fu was well aware of the great risk he had taken.
Such friends, in the cutthroat world of the lower realms of immortals, are incredibly rare!
"If only my daughter had been so lucky."

Shen Fu sighed, "I shouldn't have indulged her back then…"
She shook her head, choosing not to continue.
Every family has its own difficult scriptures to chant!
"Taoist Friend Wang."
The female cultivator spoke to Wang Chen again: "Now that Flying Catkins Camp has fallen, if you have no other place to go, why not stay at Peace Fort for a while?"
"I can vouch for you!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior."
Wang Chen declined politely, "I have other plans, I'm afraid I cannot accept your generous offer."
"That's all right."
Shen Fu did not insist, "If you encounter any trouble, you can always come here to find me."
Wang Chen bowed solemnly, "Thank you, Senior!"
The woman before him was no ordinary cultivator, in Wang Chen's perception, her cultivation level had likely reached the peak of Purple Mansion.
Just one step away from solidifying the pill!
Although the vast majority of Purple Mansion cultivators are unable to break through this final barrier, for Shen Fu to suddenly gain enlightenment and condense the Golden Core would not be an outrageous occurrence.
Thus, her promise carried significant weight!
Wang Chen believed that Shen Fu also held a high position within Peace Fort.
However, with the prior example of Flying Catkins Camp, he had no intention of joining another Loose Cultivator force to start over.
As Shen Fu's figure disappeared within the fort, Wang Chen then turned and left.
He had fulfilled his promise to Zhang Mushan, and his next destination was…
White Dragon Great Marsh!
Lying a thousand miles southwest of Flying Catkins Valley and covering tens of thousands of miles, White Dragon Great Marsh was said to be the final resting place of an ancient white dragon whose body turned into a vast, misty lake.
Owing to the numerous Monster Beasts inhabiting it and the abundant resources within the marsh, cultivators from Flying Catkins Camp would often go there to hunt and gather.
But White Dragon Great Marsh was fraught with danger, many went and never returned.
It was unclear whether they perished in the marsh or were captured by the Monster Race or slavers.
In any case, going to White Dragon Great Marsh entailed considerable risk.
Wang Chen's purpose for this trip was not hunting or gathering, but rather to replenish the She Qi for the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.
After advancing his Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue to a higher level, he had uncovered many wonderful uses for the treasure chart. Now, with the She Qi nearly depleted, these functions couldn't be utilized, hence a replenishment was required.
Otherwise, when the time came that he needed it and couldn't use it, that would be truly unfortunate.
Spanning tens of thousands of miles, White Dragon Great Marsh should be safe enough for Wang Chen as long as he found an appropriate location and did not provoke the Monster Race.
He also planned to further improve the level of his Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue, to uncover more secrets from the True Form Chart.
Haotian Realm was too dangerous, and without a few life-saving tricks up his sleeve, survival would be precarious.
Even though he possessed a Flying Warship for transport and could use the Dragon Abyss Sword for Sword Flight, he set both aside, opting for the most laborious method of skimming close to the ground to travel, lest he attract troubles he could not resolve.
Taking his time, Wang Chen arrived at the edges of the White Dragon Great Marsh after two days of detours and careful progress.
