Chapter 159: Chapter 138: Li Chen in Aunt Wang’s Heart

The Ginseng Doll’s little hands clutched Lin Yi’s arm, struggling forcefully, but it was completely futile, as Lin Yi’s strength was just too great.

Having caught the Ginseng Doll, Lin Yi immediately got excited, walked straight to the hall, and then headed for the kitchen.

Before starting the alchemy, should he deep-fry the Ginseng Doll, or perhaps braise it or steam it? It looked quite delicious.

But would that affect the medicinal properties?

Lin Yi quickly pondered, then glanced at the Ginseng Doll in his hand, only to see it looking pitiful, with its little eyes looking as if they were about to cry.

Hmph, Lin Yi felt quite satisfied. Now you know you’re wrong, huh? Weren’t you quite formidable when you were messing with me earlier?

Finding some rope, Lin Yi tied up the Ginseng Doll and hung it in mid-air.

This time, let’s see how you can run.

Lin Yi chuckled, looking at the Ginseng Doll hanging in the air, who was actually holding its little fists together in a pleading gesture, making a sorrowful noise.

Seeing the Ginseng Doll like this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a wave of pity, thinking that refining it might not be right.

However, recalling his own injuries and the betrayal of the Ghost King and others, Lin Yi steeled his heart, thinking that his injuries were the priority.

Taking the Ginseng Doll with him, Lin Yi planned to bring it to Third Grandpa, to refine it into medicine directly.

Moreover, with Third Grandpa’s expertise in traditional medicine, not only could the full medicinal potential of the Ginseng Doll be utilized, but also other medicines could be concocted, for the Ginseng Doll was precious in its entirety.

After making preparations, Lin Yi intended to set out. He picked up a cloth, about to wrap up the Ginseng Doll, when suddenly, the Ginseng Doll emitted a "waah" sound.

The Ginseng Doll, seeing that it had been captured and finding no hope of escape, began to cry.

Hearing the Ginseng Doll’s sad crying, Lin Yi’s heart softened again, and he just looked at the Ginseng Doll hanging in mid-air.

The Ginseng Doll seemed to have fallen into despair, weeping bitterly. Its little eyes were closed, one small hand rubbing at them, and it seemed that a white liquid was appearing from its eyes.

It’s really crying?

Lin Yi was shocked internally, the Ginseng Doll was actually crying.

All at once, Lin Yi felt his resolve weakening. After all, it was a life, and one of the most miraculous nurtured by nature.

But when he thought of his own injuries and the temptation of the Ginseng Doll, Lin Yi found it hard to decide.

On one side was the pitiful Ginseng Doll, and on the other was his recovery from injury, leaving Lin Yi in a state of indecision.

"Hey, stop crying for now," said Lin Yi, annoyed by the noise, but the Ginseng Doll simply ignored him and cried even harder.

"I’m not really going to refine you into medicine. I just need something from you, which can help me heal," Lin Yi said insincerely.

The Ginseng Doll didn’t even lift its head, and the hair on top of it drooped, devoid of its usual liveliness.

Lin Yi frowned, still in a quandary, and after a long while, he let out a bitter smile, "Forget it, forget it, it’s just an injury. I can just find another way to suppress it."

Facing this adorable little creature, Lin Yi couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. If the Ginseng Doll had remained just a ginseng growing in the mountains, he wouldn’t have hesitated to use it for alchemy, but now, it was a Ginseng Doll.

It could be said that, though still a ginseng, it had now gained human-like intelligence.

What a unique life form and species.

Lin Yi sighed to himself, then let the Ginseng Doll down and untied the rope from its body. Lin Yi said, "This time I’ll let you go, but you won’t be so lucky next time. You can leave now."

After untying the rope, Lin Yi felt another pang of heartache. Why was he so soft-hearted? Alas, what a pity.

Shaking his head and turning around, Lin Yi prepared to concoct herbs, while the Ginseng Doll stopped crying and looked at Lin Yi leaving with an incredulous expression on its little face.

In those eyes, there was also a flicker of confusion. He’s just letting me go?

Raising its little hands, the Ginseng Doll saw that the rope was gone, and indeed, it had been set free.

Lin Yi took out the herbs, ready to start cooking, and when he came back to see the Ginseng Doll still there, he frowned, "Why haven’t you left? Do you want me to refine you into medicine?"

But then, the Ginseng Doll let out a happy "giggle" and nimbly climbed up Lin Yi’s trouser leg, straight onto his shoulder.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Lin Yi turned his head. What did the Ginseng Doll want?

Then, next, the Ginseng Doll kissed Lin Yi’s face.

"Smack"

A very clear and loud kiss, Lin Yi was stunned. Damn, am I being teased by a ginseng?

A mixture of laughter and tears welled up inside him. I am a man of principles; aside from men, the ugly, the old, I consent to being teased. But he had never expected that his principle, which should have been confined to beautiful women, was now disrupted by a non-human Ginseng Doll.

Looks like I’ll have to add a ’human’ criterion in the future, Lin Yi thought with a wry smile.

And the Ginseng Doll seemed extremely happy, holding onto Li Chen’s neck with both hands, sitting on Li Chen’s shoulder, its little face full of joy, and then it kissed Li Chen again.

"Alright, as you wish." Li Chen smiled bitterly, when did his relationship with this Ginseng Doll become so good? Weren’t they supposed to be enemies?

Musing on Li Chen’s shoulder, the Ginseng Doll pondered for a moment, then extended its index finger with a pained expression.

Li Chen turned his head curiously, only to see that the Ginseng Doll’s index finger now had a white Blood Bead squeezed out on it.

Li Chen was taken aback, and after the Ginseng Doll squeezed out the Blood Bead, it presented the finger to Li Chen.

"For me?" Li Chen asked in confusion.

"Yeah."

The Ginseng Doll made a crisp sound in response, its facial expression obviously showing that it intended to give the Blood Bead to Li Chen.

Seeing this Blood Bead, Li Chen also felt a burst of joy, knowing well the preciousness of the Ginseng Doll’s blood.

He quickly took out a porcelain bottle to store the Blood Bead, and Li Chen smiled faintly, "Well then, we’re even now."

At the same time, someone opened the villa’s main door, and Li Chen saw that it was Aunt Wang returning.

"Aunt Wang." Li Chen chuckled.

"Young Master, how come you’re back so early?" Aunt Wang also smiled slightly upon seeing Li Chen, but her gaze suddenly fell on the Ginseng Doll on Li Chen’s shoulder.

Is this?

Aunt Wang’s pupils shrunk dramatically, as the miniature baby resembled a being she had read about in records.

"Aunt Wang, this is a Ginseng Doll, it’s another form of life." Seeing Aunt Wang staring at the Ginseng Doll on his shoulder, Li Chen couldn’t help but explain.

Indeed it is.

Aunt Wang was inwardly shocked, and at that moment, the Ginseng Doll also noticed Aunt Wang, making a "yeah" sound, then leapt down from Li Chen and started tumbling on the floor.

It’s truly alive?!

The astonishment on Aunt Wang’s face was undisguised, as seeing is believing; had she not seen the Ginseng Doll today, she would never have believed such a creature could exist in this world.

The marvels of nature, the creation of all things.

Just then, the Ginseng Doll did a tumble, fell to the ground from the air, and then disappeared from sight.

"Where, where did that doll go?" Aunt Wang asked in confusion.

"Oh, it’s gone; it might come back some other time," Li Chen said with a smile.

Watching the smiling Li Chen, Aunt Wang began to reassess him. Initially, she had thought Li Chen was just an ordinary person, but successive attacks and Li Chen’s terrifying strength displayed at the hospital had indicated that he was not as simple as he appeared, though she hadn’t taken it to heart, for there were many martial arts in Huaxia that had been passed down from ancient times, never interrupted even during times of conflict.

So, there were still many people who knew martial arts, just not known to the public. She had simply thought Li Chen was an average person who knew martial arts, but now, Aunt Wang’s impression had changed.

The Ginseng Doll was priceless, and Li Chen’s possession of it and their good relationship indicated something extraordinary.

The records stated that Ginseng Dolls were hard to catch, clearly either Li Chen had a special way to capture the Ginseng Doll, or he had acquired it through special means; either way, Li Chen seemed not to be underestimated.

In Aunt Wang’s eyes, Li Chen suddenly became shrouded in a mysterious aura.

"Miss, the person you’ve brought over is not a simple one," Aunt Wang sighed internally but soon felt relieved. She’d received news from Yanjing that the Li Family seemed to be sending someone over. If the son-in-law truly was mysterious enough, he might be able to handle it on his own, protecting the Miss from the storm.

With that thought, Aunt Wang smiled.

"Son-in-law, today I bought some hair crabs, and I’ll cook them for you later."

At the mention of this, Li Chen’s mouth watered at once; Aunt Wang’s cooking was truly exquisite, nearly causing him to gnaw the bowls clean every meal.

"I’ll look forward to dinner tonight," Li Chen laughed.

After taking his herbs, Li Chen returned to his room and spoke with Alice, asking about the progress on her end, then practiced the Mysterious Technique a bit. Checking the time, it was only after five, which meant his beautiful wife would be home later as usual.

Having showered, Li Chen went downstairs and began to chat with Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was cooking in the kitchen, chatting with Li Chen while waiting for Lin Yi to return.

This time, Lin Yi’s work ended on time, and she came straight back to the villa.

After a busy time, the three of them sat at the dining table, and looking at the deep-fried hair crabs, Li Chen couldn’t help but be tempted.

They looked delicious, just like Lin Yi, wait, why am I using this comparison?

But then again, I haven’t said anything incorrect; looking at my beautiful wife, I do want to gobble her up.
