Chapter 1027: Chapter 999 Elf Girl

"Huh?"

Before the arrow could reach Li Chen, it was caught by a hand.

It was as if Li Chen had eyes on the back of his head; he casually caught the arrow, snapped it in half, and threw it aside.

Turning his head, Li Chen frowned.

The scent he detected earlier came from that direction.

However, after he caught the arrow, that aura vanished into thin air.

"Brother Cheen! Are you okay?"

Seeing the arrow Li Chen threw aside, Cherie finally reacted and quickly asked Li Chen.

"I’m fine." Li Chen shook his head. The arrow’s power wasn’t strong, only enough to pierce a regular person’s arm, and it couldn’t even penetrate. It seemed to only aim at his shoulder.

Feeling the aura disappear, Li Chen paid it no more attention, assuming it was some creature’s probe.

In this world, such probes were quite common, and besides, that aura was rather weak.

As night approached, Li Chen had Cherie go through her herbal studies while he started building a fire.

During this time, thanks to the herbs at hand, Li Chen’s injuries finally healed.

It must be said, Li Chen’s injuries were quite severe, taking a long time to recover fully.

However, regarding the blood in his body, Li Chen was still at a loss.

Although Li Chen could feel the blood flow gradually quickening, the progress was still not ideal.

During battles, he could forcefully mobilize it, but once his body calmed down after fighting, it would return to its original state.

In other words... he’d have to remain a cripple for a while longer.

Tending to the fire, Li Chen pondered how to speed up his blood flow. Then, turning back around, he found the fire was out.

"What the hell?"

Li Chen was stunned. Though the fire he just started was small, it shouldn’t have gone out so quickly, right?

Not paying much mind, Li Chen rebuilt the fire and turned back to prepare dinner.

Then, as the light dimmed, Li Chen turned his head, and the fire was out again.

For the third time, Li Chen relit the fire, his expression turning a bit somber.

Turning around, Li Chen continued selecting the ingredients.

This time, Li Chen noticed a strange power affecting the fire, causing the flames to flicker incessantly, yet this time, it wouldn’t extinguish no matter what.

Li Chen’s lips curved into a sly smile; maintaining the flame with True Qi, it wouldn’t be that easy to extinguish.

"Come out!" Turning his head, Li Chen looked in a particular direction.

At first, he didn’t detect that subtle scent, but now he smelled it again, the same aura from daytime.

"Not coming out?" Li Chen raised his eyebrow slightly, then flicked a finger, sending a small stone flying into the dark woods.

"Ouch!" A pained voice emerged from the darkness.

In the next moment, a girl wearing green clothes slowly emerged from the woods, glaring at him with anger.

"Elf Race?" Li Chen immediately noticed the girl’s pointed ears. Although she looked mostly human, those ears gave her away.

"And..." Li Chen looked at her attire, squinting slightly: "That outfit is quite something."

Being extremely sensitive to auras, Li Chen instantly sensed the rich aura emanating from the green clothes the girl wore.

That was the aura of life.

On that outfit, an overwhelming life force was attached.

"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble?" Although the person was a beautiful elf girl, Li Chen’s tone wasn’t polite.

To Li Chen, an enemy was an enemy, regardless of gender or attractiveness. The elf girl’s previous actions had already labelled her as a suspect.

Though he still didn’t know why she did it.

However, upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the annoyance on the girl’s face grew stronger.

"I should be asking you that! Who are you, and why are you in the Elf Race’s territory?"

Hearing this, Li Chen was also taken aback, then he laughed.

"You answer first; then I’ll tell you."

"Why should I be the one to answer first?" The girl turned her head and snorted.

"Because..."

Before Li Chen could finish, the elf girl felt a sudden gust of wind. The lazy young man who had been sitting on the ground was now unexpectedly standing before her.

Li Chen’s face revealed a mischievous smile, and he suddenly reached out to pinch the elf girl’s cheek, whispering, "Because I’m stronger than you, and there’s nothing you can do if I decide to do something now."

"Ah!!!"

A high-pitched scream erupted from the elf girl’s mouth abruptly.

"Damn! A genuine Buddhist Sect Lion’s Roar?" Li Chen covered his ears, his face full of anguish.

After a long while, Li Chen couldn’t bear it any longer and reached out to cover the girl’s mouth, finally silencing her. The elf girl looked at Li Chen in terror.

"Alright, alright!" At this moment, Cherie walked over, complaining to Li Chen, "Brother Cheen, stop scaring her, will you? Look how cute she is."

Li Chen’s expression darkened. Just because someone is cute, you immediately switch sides?

"Hello, my name is Cherie. Brother Cheen likes to joke around; he didn’t mean any harm... Can you tell me why you’re doing this?"

"I..." The elf girl finally seemed to understand her position, glanced cautiously at Li Chen, and said, "This is the forest. You can’t make fires here, or it’ll cause wildfires..."

Li Chen was speechless. That was why she sneak-attacked by day and put out the fire at night?

Hearing the girl’s words, Cherie laughed, "No, we’re by the stream, precisely to avoid causing a forest fire. Even if something burns, we have water nearby to quickly extinguish it, right?"

"You can do that?" The elf girl was full of curiosity.

Li Chen held his head in frustration. He already had someone by his side who didn’t like thinking, and now another one had come.

Holding the somewhat timid elf girl, Cherie smiled, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid of him. He only acts fierce, but he’s actually kind-hearted."

Li Chen: "..."

"What’s your name?"

The elf girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I’m Daphne."

"You’ve been here since daytime and haven’t eaten yet, right?"

"Yeah, not yet."

"Wanna join us?"

"Okay."

Li Chen stood there expressionless, watching the two dim-witted girls bond instantly.

At this moment, Cherie finally turned her head to look at Li Chen.

"Brother Cheen, go make dinner."

Li Chen: "..."
