179: Chapter 178: Do You Mind Having Another Girlfriend?

“Where are you planning to go next?”

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains and asked faintly.

“Wherever you go, I will follow!”

Zhao Yuqing looked up at Li Chen’s figure, bit her lip, and replied softly with a hint of “following the husband’s lead.”

Li Chen was slightly taken aback, saying, “I’m off to kill someone.

It’s very dangerous!”

Zhao Yuqing appeared completely unconcerned, pouting and said, “So what if it’s dangerous?

I’ve already died once, I am not afraid to die again.

What else is there to fear?”

Li Chen was astonished: “I have a girlfriend, and it’s not very proper for you, a girl, to follow me like this, is it?”

Hearing this from Li Chen, a touch of sadness flickered through Zhao Yuqing’s clear, water-like eyes.

However, that touch of sadness quickly vanished.

“Would you mind having one more?

Soft, adorable, easy to knock over, good at doing laundry, cooking, and also warming your bed, you know!”

While speaking, Zhao Yuqing intentionally puffed out her small chest to showcase her ‘assets’.

Li Chen: “…”

Zhao Yuqing glanced at Li Chen’s expression, pouted, and said nonchalantly, “Just kidding, I am naturally beautiful, if you don’t want me, there are plenty of others lining up!”

Although that’s what she said, her eyes clearly showed disappointment.

She was a girl with lofty aspirations.

How could she be willing to settle for less?

Seeing the pitiable Zhao Yuqing, Li Chen suddenly felt an urge to take her into his arms.

Zhao Yuqing forced a smile and asked, “By the way, what’s her name?”

Li Chen became wary and asked, “Why do you want to know?”

Pouting, Zhao Yuqing said, “Just curious to know who I lost to.

If you don’t want to tell me, then forget it!”

Li Chen pondered for a moment and replied: “Her name is Ye Chuxue!”

Zhao Yuqing repeated the name “Ye Chuxue” several times in her mind and smiled radiantly.

“Ye Chuxue, such a beautiful name.

She must be very beautiful too, right?”

Li Chen nodded, “Yes, she is.

We grew up together since we were little.”

“The boy rides the bamboo horse around, circling around the bed playing with green plums.

Living together in Changgan, two children with no misunderstandings.

I really envy her!”

Zhao Yuqing clasped her hands over her heart, her flawless and lovely face gleamed with a yearning smile.

Li Chen opened his mouth but said nothing, feeling pity for the girl beside him.

Zhao Yuqing turned to look at Li Chen, full of anticipation, and asked, “Li Chen, can you be my boyfriend for one more day, please?”

Li Chen nodded and smiled faintly, “Sure!”

“I’ve never been in love before, I want to experience what it feels like?”

Her smile was bewitching, utterly enchanting.

Li Chen asked, “How would you like to experience it?”

Zhao Yuqing tilted her little head, blinked her eyes, and said, “Just like a normal couple, have meals together, go shopping, watch a movie.

What do you say?”

Li Chen nodded gently and agreed, “Sure, whatever you want!”

“Heh, I knew you were the best.”

Seeing that Li Chen agreed to her request, Zhao Yuqing laughed like a child, carefree and tearful with joy.

Li Chen took Zhao Yuqing’s small hand and they wandered through the streets and alleys of the small town.

They did what normal couples do, ate street food, had fun at the amusement park, watched movies so beautiful they broke hearts.

They snuggled together to watch the glorious sunset.

The setting sun is infinitely good, but it’s near dusk!

A day passed by in a blink of an eye.

The next day, the weather was not kind, as drizzling rain began to fall.

Li Chen walked Zhao Yuqing to the bus station.

Before parting, Zhao Yuqing looked up at Li Chen, her beautiful eyes wide, and asked, “Will we be able to see each other again?”

“Yes!”

Li Chen was always succinct with his words, and this time was no exception.

“Thank you for leaving a trail of brilliant colors in my black and white world!”

“Alright, that’s all then, I’m leaving!”

As Zhao Yuqing turned around, the tears that had once made her smile like a child now streaming down her face.

Once she got on the bus, she took out a brocade box with a insect inside.

“Little Qi, Little Qi, am I really so disagreeable, why do they all not want me?”

Little Qi did not understand her sorrow, simply waving its antennae and making “squeak squeak” noises.

As the bus slowly started moving, Zhao Yuqing pressed her face against the cold glass window, desperately straining to see the figure of Li Chen.

The misty Jiangnan rain blurred the view, and Li Chen’s figure receded into the distance, turning into a tiny black dot before disappearing into the vast curtain of rain.

Zhao Yuqing was lost in thought for a long time, the events of the past few days feeling like a dream.

If it was a dream, then there would inevitably be a day of waking.

The scene reminded her of a short poem by Tagore called “Chance Encounters.”

We did not stray from the tracks of spoken words, into the silence of eternity;

We did not raise our hands to beg for the void beyond our reach.

What we gave and received is already more than enough,

We did not completely crush the joy to extract the wine of pain.

Our love is as simple as a song

…

After seeing off Zhao Yuqing, Li Chen continued his journey southward to Yandang Mountain.

There, an even more formidable enemy awaited him.

Heavenly Net, July 15th branch!

Meanwhile, on Bamboo Island of Yandang Mountain:

Chiyoko and Jin Shan had hurriedly returned in a sorry state three days ago.

At this moment, they stood outside a secluded courtyard, anxiously awaiting the summoning of the Squad Leader, Gui Ku.

During this mission, they had lost a total of twenty-five assassins, among which four were masters at the Inner Strength Peak.

The losses were grave.

It could be said this was the largest loss since the establishment of the July 15th branch.

“The Squad Leader summons you, both of you come in!”

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed Western woman approached them in front of the door and spoke to Jin Shan and Chiyoko.

Jin Shan and Chiyoko exchanged glances and then followed the blonde woman into the bamboo garden with trepidation.

As soon as they entered the room, they knelt down in unison.

“We have failed in our duties, we implore the Squad Leader to punish us!”

Gui Ku’s ghastly face gave them a cold glance, his gaze finally resting on Chiyoko.

“Chiyoko, it seems you’ve been seriously injured this time, haven’t you?”

Chiyoko shivered and replied with fear, “The Squad Leader is kind to be concerned, it’s due to my incompetence that the mission failed.

Please, Squad Leader, mete out my punishment!”

Gui Ku grimly smiled and said, “That Li Chen is a martial arts prodigy that appears once in a century.

Before even reaching maturity, he has already become an Innate Grandmaster.

Losing to him isn’t too unjustified!”

Hearing this from Gui Ku, the anxiety in Jin Shan’s heart eased slightly.

“Squad Leader, Li Chen’s skills reach the sky, even able to command lightning.

If he is allowed to grow further, he might become the next War God Li Lingtian.

If we do not eliminate him quickly, I fear he will become a major threat to our organization!”

Before he could finish speaking, Gui Ku’s piercing eyes suddenly swept over, scaring him enough to quickly lower his head.

“Who gave you permission to speak?”

“Your subordinate deserves death!”

As soon as the words left Jin Shan’s mouth, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a powerful palm wind hurled him away.

Gui Ku’s eyes turned frosty as he barked in anger, “Consider this a minor lesson.

Dare to disregard my rules again, and I will have you killed!”

Jin Shan didn’t even bother to wipe the blood from his mouth, hurriedly replying with fear, “Yes, I understand, Squad Leader!”

Seeing that his intimidation had the desired effect, Gui Ku nodded in satisfaction.

“Indeed, Li Chen is an unparalleled genius of our times.

I heard he possesses top-grade pills; it would be worth handling him personally!”

He then turned to Chiyoko and asked, “Speaking of which, how is the collection of Li Chen’s information coming along?”

Chiyoko respectfully answered, “Reporting to the Squad Leader, all information concerning Li Chen is here!”

Li Chen’s information was limited, merely a couple of pages, mostly mundane details.

Critical information, such as his background and who he studied under, was entirely absent.

The man was as mysterious as Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, born from a stone.

In addition to the written information, there was a video.

It showed Li Chen fighting Tie Wudi on Tongzhou Jiangxin Island.

Gui Ku watched the video three times very closely.

Each time, it made his heart, numbed by the excessive killings, skip a beat.

Though Tie Wudi was an Early Innate master, after burning ten years of his life span four times in a row, his strength increased eightfold, enough to confront a Middle Innate master head-on.

Even Gui Ku would have to give way and dare not clash outright.

However, Li Chen did not retreat and, with more dominant and thunderous methods, forcefully slew Tie Wudi.

Such divine skills, combined with his young age, were truly terrifying.

Given enough time, even the Huaxia Martial Arts’ number one, National Guardian God Li Lingtian, might be surpassed by him.

This young man must not be left alive!

With a resolute decision, Gui Ku then turned his gaze to Jin Shan.

“Jin Shan, take my token and go to the July 18th and July 9th branches.

Summon Mann Chong and Yee Ti, the Squad Leaders, and tell them I have a big deal to discuss with them.”

“Yes, Squad Leader!”

Jin Shan respectfully took the token and then left the room.

After Jin Shan and Chiyoko had left, Gui Ku watched the video of Li Chen and Tie Wudi’s clash on Jiangxin Island three more times meticulously.

With each viewing, his heart, long numbed by too much killing, was fiercely moved by it.

This Li Chen truly was extraordinary; even if Gui Ku were in his place, he could defeat Tie Wudi but not with such ease.

However, this feeling did not instill fear or retreat in Gui Ku.

On the contrary, it ignited a burning desire in his heart, wishing to engage in a spirited and intense life-and-death battle immediately.

Throughout his journey, he had defeated many powerful opponents to achieve his current formidable reputation.

He believed this time would be no exception.

He was confident enough to believe that he could nip this exceptional talent, Li Chen, in the bud, making him the one hundred and ninth Dead Soul under his hand.

After all, with the three Grandmasters joining hands, even if the juvenile Li Chen had divine skills, he was fated to fall!

PS:

Another 3200-word mega chapter, so I won’t divide it.

This chapter was also emotionally charged; I revised it several times but am generally satisfied.

I see some readers in the comments saying that since the protagonist is an Immortal Emperor, he should be decisive in killing and not caught up in love affairs.

Little Le’s philosophy is: everyone has emotions and desires, even Immortal Emperors are human and have these feelings.

After all, novels are not just about showing off but also about poetry and beauties!
