Chapter 319: Chapter 295 Awkward Sister-in-Law

But the cave was already silent, and when Lin Xiaoxiao heard the sound, she turned her head, and upon seeing Li Chen’s fiery gaze, she suddenly froze

.

Damn, I’ve been spotted!

Now Li Chen felt a bit embarrassed, wondering why his sister-in-law suddenly turned around. If she hadn’t turned around, he could have easily sneaked up behind her.

Li Chen wanted to find an excuse, but suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes reddened, and the grievances of the past few days seemed to find an outlet; she ran towards Li Chen, who was still sitting on the ground.

"Brother-in-law!"

Lin Xiaoxiao’s voice was filled with a sobbing tone, and Li Chen was stunned. Xiaoxiao had actually rushed over to him

and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.

"Brother-in-law!"

But at this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was sobbing in Li Chen’s arms, still uttering ’brother-in-law.’

"It’s alright, Xiaoxiao, your brother-in-law is awake now, everything’s fine." Li Chen had a tender look in his eyes; he had taken in all that Lin Xiaoxiao said yesterday, and if it weren’t for her catching fish for him to eat yesterday,

he wouldn’t have recovered so quickly the night before.

Li Chen’s hands also caressed Lin Xiaoxiao’s smooth back, the touch sending a ripple through his being.

"Brother-in-law, you’re awake." After crying for a long while, Lin Xiaoxiao finally lifted her stunning, tear-streaked face to look at Li Chen.

"Xiaoxiao, if you keep crying, your nose will grow long," joked Li Chen with a smile as he pinched Lin Xiaoxiao’s delicate nose, then softly added, "Leave everything to me now, it’s all right."

Seeing Li Chen’s smiling face, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and hummed in agreement. It was clear that her mood had lightened considerably after her tears.

"Brother-in-law, are you really okay now?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked worriedly.

"There was something wrong, but with Xiaoxiao’s help, I’m fine now." Li Chen said with a smile, knowing that his sister-in-law liked to play rough and often challenged him, but she truly cared about him.

"I helped?" Lin Xiaoxiao was full of confusion. She hadn’t realized where she had helped Li Chen, greatly fearing he would not wake up after he fainted.

But it wasn’t Lin Xiaoxiao’s fault; she hadn’t expected Li Chen to wake up. The grievances she had felt erupted, making her want to cry in his arms to seek comfort and then drown in his tenderness and consolation.

Such unaware acts naturally occur for everyone, like not remembering where you placed something that you know is on you,

and constantly searching for it. Just like Lin Xiaoxiao had just done.

"Don’t worry, you know who your brother-in-law is. Just get dressed," assured Li Chen, thumping his chest.

Then, Lin Xiaoxiao hurried to the edge of the Cold Pool, picked up the bra she had placed earlier, and began to dress, sneaking a glance at Li Chen and relieved to see he truly hadn’t turned around.

However, in reality, Li Chen had again feasted his eyes, for what would be sneaking a peek if Lin Xiaoxiao had noticed?

You should know that when it comes to these skills, his expertise stretched Vertically and Horizontally.

Soon after, Lin Xiaoxiao crisply announced, "Brother-in-law, I’m ready."

Only then did Li Chen turn around, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao and grinning, "Xiaoxiao, you look even prettier."

"Don’t tease me, brother-in-law."

Seeing Li Chen awake lifted Lin Xiaoxiao’s spirits greatly, and she burst into a genuine, radiant smile.

The two talked a little more before Li Chen turned his attention to the cave.

Yesterday, he had just entered the cave with the fainting Lin Xiaoxiao when he himself fainted, not having a chance to examine the cave closely.

"Brother-in-law, the fish we ate yesterday came from here," Lin Xiaoxiao pointed towards the Cold Pool.

Li Chen looked closely and sure enough, there were lively thumb-sized white fish swimming in the Cold Pool.

Walking slowly to the edge of the Cold Pool, with Lin Xiaoxiao watching from the side, Li Chen’s right hand moved like lightning to grab a white fish from the Cold Pool in an instant.

Lin Xiaoxiao was initially stunned but then exclaimed with joy, "Brother-in-law, that’s amazing."

Thinking of the effort it took to catch fish yesterday compared to how easily Li Chen had caught one now,

Li Chen examined it closely. Was this the fish Lin Xiaoxiao fed him yesterday?

Upon closer inspection, the fish did look different from those outside, probably due to living in the Cold Pool.

After a thought, he slowly put the fish into his mouth, chewed for a moment, and then swallowed it directly.

Feeling the transformations of the fish inside him, a surge of energy similar to yesterday’s emerged in his body and the halted absorption resumed.

Li Chen’s eyes brightened as he looked back at the Cold Pool with joy!

The Mysterious Energy within him was incredibly enigmatic. He had always struggled with its absorption, but the fish from this mountain-born Cold Pool

carried the ability to absorb Mysterious Energy.

Could this be a natural counter? In nature, one thing suppresses another, and the domineering, yang energy inside Li Chen was perfectly neutralized by the yin, cold attributes of the fish in this Cold Pool.

Thinking this, it seemed a plausible explanation.

"Brother-in-law, what’s going on?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked nervously from the side, worried about Li Chen encountering another issue.

"It’s okay, Xiaoxiao, your brother-in-law just needs to take a bath," Li Chen laughed heartily and then walked into the water under Lin Xiaoxiao’s gaze.
