Chapter 1060: Chapter 1032: This Is Really Just Basic Etiquette

The celebration at the Palace of the Nether King is also a memorial.

In this battle, several warriors from the Palace of the Nether King died.

Many people, amidst the celebration, would pour a glass of wine in a certain direction.

After a moment of silence, they would smile again.

This is the tradition of the Palace of the Nether King.

Compared to the past, the Palace of the Nether King is much better now. Ever since returning to Huaxia, very few Nether Army warriors have died or been injured.

In the past, on the battlefield, they would hear news of brothers dying every day.

At that time, they were equally helpless, with few ways to memorialize but to silently pour a glass of wine toward the direction where the brother fell.

The dead are already gone, but they must live on to honor the brothers who died in battle.

Even Zi Zhao joined this celebration and seemed to be having a great time.

If it weren’t known that this old fellow was at least a century old, Li Chen would have thought he was the same age as these Nether Army warriors.

Li Chen and Catherine sat quietly in a corner, watching the Nether Army warriors play and vent with smiles on their faces.

But what they discussed was not related to this celebration at all.

They were discussing recent dynamics in Linchuan.

More precisely, it should be Catherine’s report.

Li Chen, as the master of the Palace of the Nether King, felt it was necessary to let the Nether Army warriors relax a bit and that he should also join them.

However, more importantly for him is to understand what happened during the months he was away.

"So, Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao are now training at the Mystic Star Faction?" Li Chen paused before speaking.

"That’s right." Catherine nodded, "After they left, we also contacted some intelligence merchants from the Martial Artist World. We learned that the Mystic Star Faction is indeed a very powerful sect, its strength perhaps even comparable to the Holy Mountain."

"The Holy Mountain..." Hearing this name, Li Chen sighed again.

He knew the Holy Mountain wasn’t simple. The previous Earth-level expert was just a cannon fodder from the vanguard, and now the contract is expiring, he might face even more challenging situations.

"Just take it one step at a time. But since Lin Yi and her group are currently at the Mystic Star Faction, they should be safe." Li Chen nodded.

He recalled the Taoist named Wenxing he met back then.

He still remembers clearly the Taoist’s strength.

Even with his current self, if facing Wenxing... perhaps he wouldn’t stand a chance at all?

Li Chen wasn’t underestimating himself. He had felt a slight sense of the aura emanating from Wenxing back then, and now he gradually understands the strength of that aura.

"So you are here!"

At this moment, a slightly displeased voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Li Chen heard the words, stiffened momentarily, then turned with a smile to look at the two beauties behind him.

"Well... I just wanted to sit here for a while."

"Is that so?" An Qin also smiled, but her smile seemed to chill Li Chen’s heart.

"When Lin Yi left, she instructed me that if you returned, I must watch over you with Qianqian."

An Qin’s crescent-shaped eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness.

"Brother Cheen, it seems Sister Lin Yi understands you the best." Wang Qianqian showed a thoughtful expression at the side, her gaze constantly sweeping between Li Chen and Catherine.

"Uh..." Li Chen quickly stood up, "Don’t overthink, I haven’t done anything, just happened to sit here to rest a bit."

"So Sister Catherine is also just here to rest then." Wang Qianqian said.

A Li Chen who remained calm in front of rank strong was now feeling cold sweat starting to seep out.

Because it’s a celebration, Wang Qianqian and An Qin rarely wore finely selected dresses. Especially for An Qin, it was particularly rare.

Originally, they wanted Li Chen to admire them well and hear his compliments. But after searching for a long while, they practically couldn’t find Li Chen.

Finally, the two of them almost wandered around the whole hall before finding him.

Li Chen saw their expressions and immediately understood their thoughts, quickly scanning them and began praising instinctively.

"Qianqian, this pink dress really suits you, truly made my eyes light up, I didn’t recognize you at first!"

"An Qin, this white dress is also quite nice, it fits your temperament, huh? Did you especially style your hair today? It matches this dress perfectly. Originally, both seemed average, but combined, it looks completely different!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, both girls blushed, as their initially slightly cold expressions gradually softened.

At this moment, both of them unintentionally glanced at Catherine beside Li Chen.

Compared to the two girls, Catherine was obviously even better at dressing up.

Catherine originally lived in North America and often attended large occasions due to work, so her dressing skills were even higher.

Today, Catherine wore a pure black off-shoulder long dress, sexy yet able to evoke an involuntary desire to conquer.

Especially...

The two girls looked at Catherine’s chest and then lowered their heads to look at themselves, feeling a sudden unexplainable inferiority surge in their hearts.

At this moment, Catherine also stood up, "Boss, since they’re here, I won’t take up your time, have fun."

With that, Catherine showed a charming smile, then suddenly leaned over and gently kissed Li Chen’s face.

A fresh red lipstick mark appeared on Li Chen’s face.

Catherine smiled slightly and then turned to leave.

Li Chen hadn’t yet reacted when he felt two towering grievances seemingly growing wildly.

He stiffly turned his head and saw the two girls looking at him with a resentful gaze, their eyes seemingly wanting to devour him whole.

"Uh... this is just a basic etiquette in North America!" Li Chen explained as he wiped the lipstick mark off his face.

"An Qin, I’m telling the truth! You must believe me!"

"Qianqian, you must know this, right? Explain it to An Qin quickly, this is really just a basic etiquette!"

"I’m saying, don’t leave! Wait for me!"
