Chapter 289: Chapter 267 Death Game

At the hospital, Li Chen anxiously stayed outside, waiting for the doctor to emerge; that wait lasted several hours, stretching well into the afternoon.

After a long while, the doctor finally came out. Li Chen hurried forward, and the doctor, looking at him, said, "It’s okay, the injury is under control, and it’s not too severe, but she will need about a month of convalescence. She mustn’t move around during this period."

Relieved to hear that, Li Chen quickly nodded, pleased.

"Can I go in to see her now?"

After receiving affirmation from the doctor, Li Chen hurried into the room and, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao’s pale face with closed eyes, felt immense heartache.

He held Lin Xiaoxiao’s small hand and saw her slowly open her eyes.

"Brother-in-law, am I going to die?" Lin Xiaoxiao weakly asked.

"Silly girl, how could you die with your brother-in-law here?" Li Chen said with a smile, then reached out to caress Lin Xiaoxiao’s cheek, "I’m sorry for not protecting you well."

Seeing Li Chen’s self-reproaching demeanor, Lin Xiaoxiao weakly smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, do you know? Although you look lecherous when you smile, you’re still quite handsome."

"Yeah." Li Chen managed another smile and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you should rest well in the hospital this month, okay? Don’t wander around."

Seeing Xiaoxiao, who used to be so lively and vibrant, now helplessly lying on the bed made Li Chen extremely heartbroken.

"Brother-in-law, I’m afraid I might die." Lin Xiaoxiao weakly said.

"No, you won’t, Xiaoxiao, don’t say such silly things."

"Brother-in-law, can you kiss me now? I’m afraid if I die, I won’t have this chance anymore." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen felt inexplicably sad, lightly hummed a yes, and gently kissed Lin Xiaoxiao’s lips.

At that moment, he thought of nothing else; Lin Xiaoxiao was closing her eyes, her face seemingly smiling.

After a moment, Li Chen left Lin Xiaoxiao’s lips, "It’s okay, Xiaoxiao, you rest well. In a few days, we’ll take you home."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly in response.

Meanwhile, Li Chen’s phone began to ring, startlingly from Lin Yi.

As Li Chen answered, about to speak, the voice he heard caused his expression to change dramatically.

"Long time no see, my master."

The voice that came from Lin Yi’s phone was that of Shadow.

Li Chen’s heart sank; this undoubtedly meant Lin Yi was now in her hands.

"It’s a pity the blow I gave this morning was too weak; it didn’t kill him," Shadow said lightly, as if discussing mundane matters, "But no worries, the most important person is already in my hands. You must be well aware of this, my master."

Li Chen’s left hand clenched suddenly, the veins popping instantly, as True Qi and Energy seemed to destabilize within him, ready to burst forth.

Sensing the state of his body, Li Chen took a deep breath to suppress the rage inside, and simply said, "The location."

"As expected of my master," Shadow laughed wildly, "The location, I’ll give you tonight. Also, rest assured, I won’t kill Lin Yi before seeing you. After all, it would be more interesting to slowly carve him up in front of my dear master, wouldn’t you agree?"

Li Chen didn’t speak, he was forcibly suppressing his anger. If Shadow were in front of him, he would have wanted nothing more than to send her flying with a single slap!

"My master, don’t be so angry, or else wouldn’t you be furious to death tonight?" Shadow began to laugh, she seemed to imagine Li Chen’s feelings, and the more pain he was in, the happier she became.

If I can’t snatch the Palace of the Nether King, then I’ll just kill your woman. That’s fair trade, right?

"Tonight is the night we settle this." Shadow’s voice turned cold again and after saying that, she hung up the phone.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Chen and asked softly, "Brother-in-law, was it the person who hit me?"

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Chen managed a smile, "Xiaoxiao, no, you rest well. I’ll have Aunt Wang come to take care of you. You won’t have any problems. You need to heal up well. A month from now, I hope to see a lively Lin Xiaoxiao."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, "Brother-in-law, you can rest assured, by then you’ll have to massage my little feet."

Remembering the way Lin Xiaoxiao’s little feet flailed about in the air, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile.

After that, Li Chen left the hospital room and made a call to Aunt Wang, and upon hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, she immediately rushed over in a hurry.

For Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao, Aunt Wang truly cherished them as if they were her own daughters; naturally, hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, she was incredibly distressed.

When Aunt Wang arrived at the hospital and saw Lin Xiaoxiao lying in the hospital bed, she hurriedly went over to comfort and take care of her.

Then, Aunt Wang approached Li Chen, "Son-in-law, tonight the young lady is your responsibility. I’ll stay behind to take care of Xiaoxiao."

Li Chen smiled and nodded. He had not yet told Aunt Wang about Lin Yi being captured; otherwise, she might lose control.

However, no matter what, tonight, Li Chen must bring Lin Yi back safely!

Yes, tonight is the night of reckoning.

Either he dies, or Shadow dies!

Wandering aimlessly out of the hospital, Li Chen checked the time. It was around 4 PM, and there were only about two to three hours left until evening, but those few hours felt like an eternity to Li Chen.

Time passed second by second, and suddenly it was 10 PM. The phone Li Chen was waiting for rang again.

"My master, has this time felt very excruciating?" Shadow’s voice came through, her intention to continually provoke Li Chen, probably hoping to anger him and derive pleasure from it.

Li Chen merely said indifferently, "Where?"

"Don’t rush, King of the Netherworld, tonight, we have all the time in the world." Shadow giggled.

Li Chen frowned, unable to precisely determine what tricks Shadow was playing. There was no doubt that Shadow wanted to kill him, but the method she would employ was still a problem.

"Speak directly."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Shadow licked her lips slightly, "Master, it seems we haven’t played a game in quite a while, eh? This chance is too good to miss. We must play a little, right? A death game, oh master, if you fail, I’m going to kill you, of course, and I’ll kill Lin Yi too."

Li Chen didn’t respond, whatever trap Shadow had set, he had to go!

"Location." Li Chen said blandly.

At that, Shadow’s voice gleamed, "Master, the game has begun. The first game is to find where I am. You have only ten minutes. If you’re late by a minute, I’ll cut off a piece of Lin Yi’s flesh and let you listen to her screams of agony until your beloved dies. How fun does this game sound? Hahaha!"
