I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"My lord! We have never met before, but you are willing to sacrifice for my East China Sea. I really don't deserve such a sacrifice!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea said with tears in his eyes.

He had never imagined that this strange immortal before him would unhesitatingly donate his precious blood essence to refine the elixir for them. This selfless dedication deeply moved him, and his heart was filled with guilt and gratitude.

"It's okay! You see the wound has healed. It's okay. I can still kill the six-eared macaque and the white ape tomorrow!" Li Chen suppressed the feeling of weakness and struggled to stand up from Ao Xue's arms, trying to show his strength and determination.

However, he knew that the loss of blood and essence was extremely draining, and his combat effectiveness had been reduced by at least 20%. Fortunately, his body had been baptized by the spirits of six ancient witches, and had long surpassed the capabilities of ordinary people. This also became his confidence to persevere.

"Aoxue, quickly help him go back and rest! Take good care of him, and don't mistreat our distinguished guest from the East China Sea!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea looked at the frail Li Chen in front of him, his heart filled with worry. He quickly gave orders to Aoxue beside him, his eyes revealing anxiety and concern.

Upon hearing her father's order, Ao Xue immediately stepped forward and carefully helped Li Chen to his feet. Her movements were gentle and cautious, fearing to cause Li Chen any discomfort. Together, they slowly walked towards the Water Shelter Pavilion, leaving behind a group of people watching their departing figures with worried eyes.

Along the way, Ao Xue's emotions were extremely complicated. She was filled with gratitude because Li Chen had saved her life, but at the same time, she was worried about Li Chen's physical condition. In addition, the powerful strength Li Chen displayed made her even more curious and admired him.

When Ao Xue and Li Chen arrived at the Water-Bidding Pavilion, Fairy Hibiscus, Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion, Hundred Immortal Butterflies, and others were already waiting there. Seeing Li Chen return, they all surrounded him, asking about his condition with concern.

Fairy Hibiscus asked anxiously, "Master! How are you? Are you hurt?" The Fire-Eating Scorpion also said nervously, "Master brother! We are all very worried about you!" The Hundred Fairy Butterflies flew to Li Chen, flapping their wings gently to express their concern.

However, the scene later became even more lively. Prime Minister Turtle and General Carp led a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to the Water Refuge Pavilion. General Carp shouted that he wanted to go in to see Li Chen, but was stopped by Fairy Hibiscus.

She said seriously, "General Li, please be patient. The master needs to rest, and it is not appropriate to disturb him now." Although General Li was reluctant, he still followed the advice of Fairy Hibiscus and stood quietly outside the door waiting for news.

"In that case, please let the Immortal have a good rest. I will come to visit you again someday!"

Prime Minister Turtle looked at the young man before him, feeling a surge of emotion. He had never imagined that Li Chen would be so unwavering in his devotion to the Dragon Palace. This selfless dedication and selfless dedication moved Prime Minister Turtle.

He had originally thought that Li Chen was an undercover agent sent by Liu Er Mihou or Yu Zhizu, but now it seemed that he was completely wrong. Li Chen not only possessed noble character and firm beliefs, but was also a man of broad mind and extraordinary bearing, a truly worthy gentleman!

Prime Minister Turtle took a deep breath and bowed to Li Chen: "My dear friend Li Chen, on behalf of the entire Dragon Palace, I would like to express my deep gratitude for what we did today. If you need anything in the future, just let us know and we will do our best." After that, he turned around and left the Water Shelter Pavilion with General Carp and a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

At this time, only the Jade Rabbit Fairy and some of the Dragon Palace's confidants were left in the room. They looked at Li Chen lying on the bed quietly, their hearts filled with worry.

Fairy Jade Rabbit sighed softly and walked forward, carefully observing Li Chen's expression and aura. After a moment, she smiled and said to everyone, "Don't worry! Li Chen has only lost a small amount of his blood and essence. His body is very strong, and he will recover after just one night of rest!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts finally settled down. They breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with joy and relief.

At that moment, a knock on the door broke the silence. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the door slowly open. Ao Shuang stepped into the room. She walked briskly to the bedside and asked with concern, "How is Immortal Li Chen doing now? Is he feeling better?"

Ao Shuang's face was filled with concern and worry for Li Chen. Her eyes were fixed on Li Chen lying on the bed, as if she didn't want to miss any subtle changes.

"Sister! Why are you here too? Could it be that you..."

After Ao Shuang spoke, Ao Xue's pretty face flushed instantly, and it was obvious that Ao Shuang had hit the nail on the head. She realized that her sister Ao Xue also fell in love with Li Chen!

"Sister! What do you mean?" Ao Xue's face flushed red, and her fair jade hand trembled as she pointed at Ao Shuang. Her lips were slightly open, and she spoke a little stutteringly, as if she wanted to explain something but didn't know how to express it.

"Stop! All of you get out! Be quiet and let Li Chen have a good rest!" The Jade Rabbit Fairy suddenly stood up and shouted at everyone present, with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in her voice.

Her eyes were firm and stern, as if she could not be questioned. Then, she stretched out her slender jade hand and began to drive everyone out of the Water Shelter Pavilion, her movements firm and decisive. With no other choice, they could only leave the Water Shelter Pavilion, leaving Li Chen alone to rest.

After everyone left, Li Chen took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to communicate with the system. He silently asked in his mind, "System, are there any food or medicine recommendations that can quickly replenish essence and blood?"

"Host, of course! Have you heard of pig blood sausage?" The system's voice sounded in Li Chen's mind, its tone calm and confident.

Li Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He naturally knew about the dish of pig blood sausage. After all, his grandfather had told him the story about pig blood sausage when he was a child.

It was said that this dish was not only delicious but also extremely nutritious, making it a great tonic. Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't wait to tell the system, "In that case, let's have a serving of pig blood sausage and try it!"

After Li Chen finished speaking, a dazzling light appeared in front of him, and then the light dissipated, turning into a plate of bright red pig blood sausages, emitting fragrant hot steam.

Li Chen picked up a piece of sausage with chopsticks, blew on it, and put it into his mouth. Immediately, a delicious flavor burst out from his mouth. Li Chen felt that his physical strength seemed to have recovered a little. Should I say this pig blood sausage is worthy of being a famous dish in Northeast China?

My grandfather once told me that when the Northeast was in the most difficult times, many people made a living by selling blood. After selling blood, they would habitually go to a restaurant and order a bowl of pig blood sausage to replenish their nutrition and physical strength!
