Chapter 952 I am a Celestial Being Descended from Heaven
Immortal? Chu Chen smiled upon hearing this, thinking to himself that it was a good excuse.
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, so why not become a god in their hearts and live in a world without rivals?
So what if I'm a god? I'm just experiencing life.
"Hehe, you three, meeting me is quite an opportunity for you. So, now you can make your choice!"
"We are willing to pledge our lives to the Immortal, and we beg for your guidance!"
The effect was good, and Chu Chen smiled upon seeing this.
"Alright, if that's the case, then get up!"
"I can't wait!"
"What, you swore allegiance to me a second ago, but now you're disobeying me?"
As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the three of them stood up instantly, as if they had been electrocuted.
Chu Chen made no attempt to hide it, and with a wave of his hand, he produced a new tea set.
Then, without any rush, he boiled a pot of water over charcoal, brewed a pot of tea, and thoughtfully poured a cup for everyone.
During this process, none of them dared to breathe loudly.
You know, being able to conjure things out of thin air, what else could it be but a god?
Chang Shou was extremely grateful that his parents had given him such a name; otherwise, he would probably be a mess right now.
"Alright, let's have some tea!"
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he took the lead in raising his teacup and drinking it down in one gulp.
The three of them didn't dare to delay, so they picked up their teacups and, despite the scalding tea, gulped it down in one go.
"Hehe, how is it? Do you feel a slight pain in your stomach?"
After drinking the tea and taking a moment to feel the effects, the group immediately felt a stomachache and wondered if the immortal was trying to harm them.
That's ridiculous. If you can drink a mouthful of boiling water on an empty stomach and it doesn't hurt, you're not human.
"Don't be afraid, this is not a deadly poison. As long as you obey me, you will be able to follow me to the pinnacle of life."
"But if there is betrayal, it will be like this jar."
After saying that, Chu Chen pointed to a dilapidated water vat in the corner of the wall, and the vat immediately made a loud noise and then shattered into pieces.
After reading it, the group shrank back and immediately knelt on the ground again: "We will serve the immortal faithfully and swear to be loyal to him to the death."
"Okay, get up!"
"First of all, don't let anyone know my identity. From this moment on, I am your young master!"
"We are waiting to meet you, sir!"
"Alright, the second thing is to select twenty men from your team to come to the courtyard later to collect rations. Have a hearty meal tonight, and we'll set off for Lingyang City tomorrow!"
Faced with Chu Chen's order, the three dared not delay and immediately left the house to find their respective people.
Chu Chen wasn't idle either. He had roughly gauged the number of refugees at the entrance when they arrived; it was probably around 20,000 to 30,000.
It is estimated that many more will die on the way, and many will not even reach Hyde City.
With a wave of his hand, he took out 30,000 catties of rice and piled them in the yard.
After doing all that, Chu Chen took out about twenty sets of clothes and walked to the door of the room where the woman was locked up.
"Someone come out and collect the clothes. You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to change and come out to see me!"
Although these women were locked in their rooms, they still overheard words about returning to Lingyang and the immortals.
However, no one dared to discuss these matters. They were smart enough to know that if they spoke out of turn, they might not survive.
Because that man outside really does kill!
After Chu Chen finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside, and a girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old and was dressed in a way that covered her body walked out.
"This humble servant thanks you, young master, for bestowing upon me these clothes."
"Okay, go change, then come out and see me!"
After saying that, Chu Chen returned to the tea table and slowly brewed himself a cup of tea.
A short while later, the women who had changed into their new clothes came out of the house and stood in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen glanced at them and thought to himself, "Not bad, they're all unfortunate people."
"Those of you with families, stand on one side; those of you who are single, stand on the other side!"
Under Chu Chen's command, the group of women soon split into two groups.
Chu Chen looked at the twenty or so people with families and said, "Alright, you are free now. Go back to your husbands and children!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the women pleaded, "Young master, we are already unclean. If you let us go back, we will only face death."
Chu Chen frowned after listening, thinking to himself, "This is ancient times, for crying out loud. What they said actually makes sense."
If they were released back, under this mindset, they would likely be sold or subjected to inhumane treatment.
But keeping these people around isn't a good idea either.
Although they were forced into it or captured, this is not modern times, and there are not many excusable circumstances.
This made Chu Chen realize for the first time the inappropriateness of this feudal world.
Then he said, "How about this, you go back first. If your husband's family can accept you, then go back and live a good life. If they can't accept you, then come back to me."
After sending these people away, Chu Chen looked at another seven or eight people: "Are you without husbands or families, or are you on the run? Have you lost your families?"
However, this group is even more complicated.
Some of them were girls waiting to be married, some had their entire families killed, and some had been in this profession before.
Chu Chen thought for a moment, then asked again, "You're just like them. If you want freedom, you can leave now. If you don't want to leave, then come with me."
However, none of these people returned.
Even a fool could see that the yard was piled high with grain.
Moreover, they all witnessed this man kill the bully who dared not resist them in an instant.
With someone as capable as him by my side, getting through this difficult time shouldn't be a problem.
"Alright, since none of you want to leave, then take out the wooden tubs used for bathing inside. I will find you clean water in a little while so you can all wash up."
"The women who are by my side must all be clean and tidy!"
After saying that, Chu Chen ignored them.
Just then, Chang Shou, Wang Baiwan, and Tang Dali, each with about twenty men, entered the house.
Looking at the mountain of grain piled up in the yard.
A gleam immediately appeared in the eyes of the group of people.
"Don't get cold. I'll give you three days. After three days, I want to see your team return to Lingyang with me!"
"Now, let's move the grain and make sure everyone is well-fed first!"
