Chapter 413: Chapter 388 You Still Love Me

After Wang Qianqian left, Li Chen felt a burst of amusement in his heart; the tussle with her had been quite fun.

But before long, the door opened again. This time, a woman dressed in black from head to toe walked in, exuding an aura of chilling indifference that seemed to convey aloofness.

Yet in reality, she was a woman as passionate as fire.

"Lying in bed now?"

The Qilin Princess sat down on the chair beside him and looked at Li Chen, who was wearing his hospital clothes, a trace of mockery in her eyes, "I never imagined you’d end up lying in bed."

Li Chen rolled his eyes, thinking, Is this girl always looking for ways to be contrary?

"

Sit on it?

The Qilin Princess was startled for a moment but then quickly grasped the implication behind his words, her face showing a flicker of annoyance as she glared at him.

But Li Chen had always had thick skin—thinking she could mock him? Unlikely.

"Hmph, I’m merely here on Wan’er’s behalf to see how you’re doing. Since you’re not paralyzed, there’s nothing to worry about," said the Qilin Princess indifferently. She then unceremoniously grabbed a banana that was placed on the side and started peeling it.

Damn!

Li Chen rolled his eyes again. Not paralyzed?

How could her mouth be more capable than mine?

"Hey, hey, hey, you don’t have to curse me with paralysis, do you? It’s just a minor injury, you’re being too harsh," Li Chen grumbled.

"Heart punctured by a blade, 2 centimeters deep; blood vessels ruptured everywhere, meridians disordered, bones throughout the body seemed to have been abraded," the Qilin Princess spoke impassively. "You’re lucky not to be paralyzed with injuries like that."

Is it really that severe?

Li Chen was taken aback. That couldn’t be possible, could it? Hadn’t he just utilized the mysterious energy within his body?

But what Li Chen didn’t know was that he wasn’t yet capable of harnessing the terrifying power of the mysterious energy. Each time he used it, he did so at the cost of his own physical well-being, akin to using an ultimate move that harmed the enemy a thousand but self-inflicted eight hundred in the process.

If it weren’t for the mysterious cultivation technique he practiced, which healed his body, he likely would have exploded from using the mysterious energy and died.

The Qilin Princess finished the banana, and Li Chen, grinning mischievously, said, "Thanks for your concern, Qilin beauty. I didn’t expect you to be thinking of me all the time, even knowing the extent of my injuries. How about this—as a token of my gratitude, I’ll treat you tonight. Let’s go to a hotel and discuss life and such."

"You’re in this state and still thinking of taking advantage of me?" The Qilin Princess said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, her stunning face unreadable.

"That’s not necessarily the case. Why don’t you give it a try? I’m still quite fierce; the battle wouldn’t end before two hours," Li Chen boasted.

"Is that so?" The Qilin Princess glanced up and down at Li Chen, who continued to grin at her. Suddenly, her right hand moved with lightning speed, her wrist whirling like a snake, and she thrust her hand straight forward.

The Qilin Princess moved quickly, but to Li Chen, it still seemed slow. His left hand went to meet hers, aiming to grasp her wrist.

But as soon as he moved, Li Chen discovered that his actions were very slow, much slower than before.

Reacting quickly upon realizing his slowed body movements, his right hand went up to block the Qilin Princess’s attack. Yet when their techniques clashed, he was the one pushed back.

The Qilin Princess’s fingertips halted right in front of Li Chen’s neck. A bit further, and she could have killed him on the spot.

"Still want to prove you’re strong?" The Qilin Princess withdrew her hand, her face expressionless, but inside, a small sense of triumph bubbled up. Usually, it was he who bullied her—today, it was her turn to bully him.

Li Chen looked utterly aggrieved. "Qilin beauty, you know full well that’s not what I meant."

"I don’t care what you meant; the fact is you’re very weak right now," the Qilin Princess snorted.

Damn.

Li Chen was utterly frustrated, but what could he do when the one bullying him was a beautiful woman? He’d endure it, intending to get his revenge twofold next time.

The next time, he planned to strip off her clothes, then her pants, bind her hands, press down on her shoulders, and then... punish her fiercely...

Li Chen chuckled darkly in his mind, while the Qilin Princess said, "Actually, the thing you did with the Yanjing Li Family that day, that was somewhat unwise."

Li Chen blinked, "You know about that too?"

"Hmph," the Qilin Princess snorted, "Dragon Soul has already put you on their list, how could I not be aware?"

Li Chen chuckled without replying.

"Do you know where you were unwise?" the Qilin Princess glanced at Li Chen.

"I don’t." Li Chen said, although in his heart he was somewhat disdainful, just the Yanjing Li Family, what does it matter if I destroyed them?

The Qilin Princess withdrew her gaze, speaking indifferently, "Your lack of wisdom lies in taking action against the Yanjing Li Family without understanding their strength, which led to some escaping your net."

What?

Wait a second, listening to the Qilin beauty, it seemed it wasn’t because he had destroyed the Li Family that she was upset, but because he had let several of their members slip away?

Li Chen felt amused in his heart, "Qilin beauty, are you actually concerned about me?"

"Hmph." The Qilin Princess didn’t answer, but only said, "I’ve already had someone follow the trails of Li Xinmei and Li Yang. I’ll notify you when they re-enter the country."

"Qilin beauty, what you’re doing proves something again," Li Chen suddenly said seriously.

"What is it?" The Qilin Princess picked up some fruit, which originally Lin Xiaoxiao had bought, but now they all ended up in her stomach.

"That you still love me." Li Chen said, causing the Qilin Princess to freeze, then annoyed, she glared fiercely, "Who loves you? Don’t flatter yourself."

"No amount of glaring will give you a way to deal with me." Li Chen chuckled.

The Qilin Princess felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be pissed to death by Li Chen, and coldly said, "I’m leaving."

"Qilin beauty, please pass a message to Wan’er for me, just tell her I’m fine." Li Chen called out from behind.

After the Qilin Princess left, Li Chen sighed, Ah, what an unlucky day it’s been, never expected to get beaten up twice in a single day, my good days are over.

At that moment, Li Chen’s phone, lying aside, rang. Answering the call, it turned out to be from Yang Xin.

"Li Chen, are you free today? Come with me to a music concert," said Yang Xin from the other end.

"I’m lying in a hospital bed, how can I go to a concert with you?" Li Chen thought bitterly to himself.

Yang Xin’s voice immediately became frantic, "Why are you in the hospital? Are you injured? How serious is it? Tell me which hospital, I’ll come right away."

Shoot, he had slipped up without thinking, but from the tone on the phone, he could hear Yang Xin’s concern, this girl still loves him a lot.

"No need, I’m quite comfortable staying in the hospital. I’ll go with you to a concert in a few days. Aren’t there many shows going on lately?"

"That won’t do, tell me right now, which hospital are you in?" said Yang Xin directly.

"You really want to come?" Li Chen felt speechless.

"You’re injured, of course, I need to be there," Yang Xin said firmly, adding after a pause, "I am your girlfriend, after all."

Girlfriend?

A warmth surged in Li Chen’s heart. Although he had not yet done "that" with Yang Xin, it was definitely on the cards, and there was no time like the present, maybe even today.

Remembering how Wang Qianqian had earlier failed to do "that" for him, he thought of having Yang Xin replace her.

"I’m at Tongren Hospital, over at Dong Yi," Li Chen told his room number to Yang Xin, who then replied, "Then wait for me."

Less than twenty minutes later, the hospital room door opened again, and the patients saw a tall, intelligent-looking woman with high heels, black stockings, and glasses walking in.

A young man in the bed next to him brightened at the sight of the beautiful woman, Wow, what a gorgeous girl, I hope she’s here to visit her family; then I might have a chance to pursue her.

He watched Yang Xin with anticipation, but Yang Xin went straight over to Li Chen’s bed upon identifying it.

It’s him again?
