My gorgeous wife
Chapter 1101 - 1073 Farewell

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1073 Farewell

"How’s it going?" Watching Zhang Jing gulp down a large mouthful of iced water, Li Chen hurriedly asked.

"Well..." Zhang Jing looked at the empty cup in her hand, her face turning slightly red, "I’m still... a bit thirsty..."

Li Chen was speechless and handed Zhang Jing another cup of iced water.

"Ah~"

After drinking another large cup, Zhang Jing sighed contentedly.

It must be said that soaking in hot water was truly torturous. Not only was the water unbearably hot, but the steam kept evaporating the moisture from her body. Running for over an hour almost drove her to exhaustion.

"How about now?" Li Chen asked again.

Seeing Li Chen’s concerned expression, Zhang Jing finally came to her senses, assessed her condition, and then beamed a bright smile, "Pretty good. I now feel energetic and no longer have the urge to sleep like before."

Li Chen nodded and directly grabbed Zhang Jing’s wrist.

Seeing Li Chen’s action, Zhang Jing’s face turned red, thinking Li Chen was going to do something, only to find he didn’t make any further move after grabbing her wrist.

She sighed in her heart. Although she knew it was impossible, she still harbored some expectations.

"Hmm." After a while, Li Chen let go of her hand and looked at Zhang Jing beside him, "Your body indeed has no problems now. The strange aura I sensed earlier has also disappeared. If I’m correct, your issue has really been resolved."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Jing couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

She came this time with the resolution to face death.

If she couldn’t find a way to save her partner, she might also fall into a deep sleep.

But now, the issue that’s troubled her for so long has truly been resolved, even she found it somewhat unbelievable.

"I’m really... better?"

Zhang Jing suddenly jumped up and screamed loudly.

The people outside were shocked by the screams inside and poked their heads in.

Seeing Zhang Jing tightly hugging Li Chen, her legs wrapped around Li Chen’s waist as she screamed, they couldn’t help but wear odd expressions.

Li Chen struggled to turn his head away from Zhang Jing’s chest, "Can... someone help me pull her away and calm her down?"

An Cheng and Fan Bayin both wore meaningful and peculiar smiles, then twisted and directly slipped out of the room.

An Xiu looked at the two, snorted coldly, and then walked away.

After a while, Zhang Jing finally calmed down, and embarrassedly got off Li Chen.

"Um... Brother Li Chen, I’m sorry..." Zhang Jing said, sticking out her tongue with a flushed face.

"It’s okay..." Li Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was just thinking, if this girl didn’t get off soon, he would commit an error.

He looked down at a certain part of himself, turned around, adjusted his brother’s position, and then said in a deep voice, "Alright, since the matter is resolved, it’s about time I leave."

"What about you? Are you going to leave with us?"

"Hmm? Us?"

"Yes, I found out that Fan Bayin is from my hometown, we plan to go back together." Li Chen told a kind lie.

"I...will definitely go with you guys." Zhang Jing hurriedly nodded.

"Okay, get ready then, it’s time to say goodbye." Li Chen nodded and then turned to leave the room.

"Indeed, it’s time to leave." Standing by the roadside in the mountain village, Li Chen quietly raised his head to look at the sky, through the overlapping leaves, at the faint sunlight hidden by the clouds, his expression seemed somewhat ambiguous.

He suddenly felt like this might be the last time he would come here.

...

"Are you really planning to leave? Not staying a few more days?" An Cheng stood at the entrance of the mountain village, watching Li Chen, and asked.

"If I stay any longer, I might really never leave." Li Chen laughed.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, An Xiu, standing nearby, couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

Yesterday, many young people in the mountain village pestered Li Chen upon learning he was about to leave, asking him to teach them a few Kung Fu moves before departing, so that they could defend themselves against enemies in the future.

Li Chen was entangled by a group of village kids for a whole day.

However, he really did discover two promising talents, if they diligently cultivated, they might truly achieve greatness in the future.

Li Chen imparted some basic cultivation techniques, whether they could really step into the Martial Artist realm depended on their own fate.

"Xiuxiu, goodbye." Li Chen smiled at An Xiu.

"Brother Li Chen, goodbye, remember to come again next time." An Xiu also smiled, but Li Chen sharply noticed the faint crystal-like shimmer in An Xiu’s slightly narrowed eyes.

Perhaps she sensed it too, that they might find it difficult to meet again.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Chen, Fan Bayin, and Zhang Jing turned and walked toward the forest beyond.

Watching the three leave, An Xiu suddenly turned to look at An Cheng.

"Dad, I want to learn Gu art."

An Cheng gazed at his only daughter, his expression growing complicated.

...

"This journey was truly colorful, even more exciting than all my previous twenty years combined." Zhang Jing walked between them, feeling the silence among them, suddenly spoke.

"Phew—" Fan Bayin weakly swung his water bottle, "Yeah, really exciting, really thrilling."

Fan Bayin’s emotions were indeed complex, quite complex.

Originally, he was antagonistic to Li Chen, but afterwards, he switched sides and fought alongside Li Chen, confronting strong enemies like the Gu King. Even his hard-trained Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts lost a few, how could his mood not be complex?

Besides, although he previously valued Li Chen’s growth potential, that organization was no joke.

Thinking of the powerful beings in the organization made Fan Bayin’s mood even more complex.

Li Chen gently nodded at Zhang Jing’s words but remained silent.

For some reason, he had a peculiar feeling in his heart, as if he’d overlooked something.

"What exactly is it..."

Li Chen lowered his head, seemingly absent-minded.

Suddenly, he glanced at the blood-colored long saber hanging from his waist, forgotten to be retracted into his body, and his face shifted.

"Oh, I forgot about this!"

Li Chen turned back, looking towards the mountain village now hidden by trees and completely out of sight, feeling a resurgence of anticipation.

"Perhaps... we really might meet again."
