Chapter 586: Chapter 558: The Terrifying Woman

Seeing Li Xinmei leave, Li Chen finally let out a long sigh.

His entire body instantly half-knelt on the ground.

From his body, blood continuously seeped out, flowing down along his body, dripping into the grass beside him.

"King of the Netherworld!"

At this moment, the Nether Army also arrived at the villa and, seeing Li Chen’s condition, could not help but have their faces dramatically change.

Was this woman really that formidable that even the King of the Netherworld was no match for her?

"I’m fine. It’s just that the consumption of my body was a bit too much." Li Chen waved at the Nether Army beside him and said, "Quickly go and track her whereabouts, remember, do not expose yourselves. This woman has become stronger than before. With your strength, you are definitely no match for her!"

"Yes!" Hearing Li Chen’s words, the Nether Army nodded and instantly left the villa.

For them, the King of the Netherworld’s word was a command.

Since the King of the Netherworld had issued an order, all they could do was comply.

At this time, Yu Yueying also arrived at the villa with her people.

Seeing the situation inside the villa, Yu Yueying couldn’t help but have her expression slightly change.

"Did you engage her in combat?" Yu Yueying saw Li Chen not far away and asked with some concern, "Are you alright?"

"I’m not going to die just yet." Li Chen lifted his head, looking weakly towards Yu Yueying, and pulled a smile, "This woman’s strength is too terrifying. If you don’t want your people to end up as casualties, it’s best not to think about having any close contact with her."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from one side.

"Ridiculous!"

A middle-aged police officer walked over, looking at the blood-covered Li Chen and frowned, "We police are here to fight for the people, and if we give up chasing criminals just because they are powerful, do we still deserve our badges?"

Looking at the middle-aged police officer, Li Chen didn’t argue. He appreciated this person’s professional ethics; however, he was less complimentary about his judgment.

"You recognize me, right?" Li Chen pointed at himself and said.

"You are..." The middle-aged officer’s brows furrowed, then suddenly his expression became one of surprise, "You are the martial arts master who defeated that foreign martial arts troupe last time?"

"Since you recognize me, that makes things easier." Li Chen nodded, then pointed towards a corner of the villa, "There should be a camera installed over there. Go check it yourself. Of course, the content has to remain confidential."

Saying this, Li Chen took out an ID from his bosom and flashed it in front of the middle-aged officer.

Seeing the ID, the middle-aged officer’s expression changed again, from initial indifference to solemn respect.

"Yes!"

Under Yu Yueying’s astonished gaze, the middle-aged officer actually gave Li Chen a very formal salute.

Yu Yueying hadn’t noticed what exactly Li Chen had taken out earlier, but seeing the middle-aged officer’s reaction, she grew curious.

"Well, I’ve said everything I needed to say. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now," Li Chen said, then stood up directly.

"You... are you sure you’re okay?" Yu Yueying asked again.

Li Chen’s complexion was still a bit pale, but he waved his hand at Yu Yueying, "Don’t worry, I’m not so easy to kill."

After speaking, Li Chen turned around and left the villa alone.

Seeing Li Chen’s staggering solo departure, and not knowing why, Yu Yueying suddenly felt a mysterious sourness at the tip of her nose.

...

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After coughing violently a few times, Li Chen finally spat out the blood clots stuck in his throat.

After spitting out the blood clots, Li Chen’s eyebrows deeply furrowed.

For him, Li Xinmei’s increase in strength was simply too outrageous, and she had become too strong as well.

He even felt that if he hadn’t forcibly stimulated the outburst of the Mysterious Energy this time, he might have really ended up a corpse.

"Could it be that she’s really no longer human?" Li Chen fell into deep doubt.

Whether it was from Li Xinmei consuming human blood or her nearly terrifying rate of strength increase, it had all completely exceeded his imagination.

Such a rate of strength improvement could no longer be described as a fortuitous encounter.

Moreover, Li Xinmei had been in Linchuan during this period—what kind of fortuitous encounter could she have had?

If there was one, it was only that she had died and then reborn, appearing before him again...

"Stop thinking, just rest for a while."

Li Chen lay on the bed, while Lin Yi sat by the bed.

Seeing Li Chen’s deeply furrowed brows, Lin Yi couldn’t help feeling a bit heartache.

She knew that Li Chen was an extraordinary man, and this man also had many important things to handle. However, every time she saw his scar-riddled appearance, Lin Yi couldn’t hold back the pain in her heart.

She didn’t know when it started, but this man had occupied an unshakable position in her heart.

"I too wish I could just rest a bit," Li Chen said with a wry smile as he shook his head. "But, there are always those people who don’t want to let me rest."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Yi couldn’t help but gently throw herself into his arms, yet fearing she might agitate his injuries, her movements were very careful.

"Sometimes, I really wish you were just an ordinary person, just like when I first met you, just a guy frying pancakes at a street stall. Then there wouldn’t be so many conflicts," Lin Yi’s voice sounded somewhat hesitant.

Li Chen gently embraced Lin Yi, sniffing the faint fragrance of her hair, and suddenly smiled. "If I really were just a pancake seller, would you still have noticed me?"

"Also, if I truly were just a pancake seller, we wouldn’t have this kind of fate between us."

As he said this, Li Chen gently lifted Lin Yi’s head and lightly kissed her smooth forehead.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it well. You have to trust your man," Li Chen smiled. "Haven’t I handled so many things well in the past?"

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will be able to harm you!" Li Chen said firmly.

"Hmm...hmm?" Lin Yi was enjoying the warmth of the moment when suddenly, she seemed to sense something odd and looked at Li Chen with a somewhat suspicious gaze.

"You all?!"

"Uh..." Li Chen coughed twice, then naturally responded, "Of course! I have to protect not only you but also Xiaoxiao, and isn’t Aunt Wang also my family?"

Lin Yi, however, seemed to not hear it, staring at Li Chen, her gaze becoming somewhat meaningful. "Besides Xiaoxiao and Aunt Wang, is there anyone else?"

"There’s also... Ah! There’s also the Ginseng Doll; this little guy has saved my life!" Li Chen hastily added.

"What about Wang Qianqian?"

"Uh..." At that moment, Li Chen wished he could slap himself.

However, before he could slap himself, Lin Yi had already slapped his thigh.

"Hiss—" Li Chen gasped sharply as that spot was precisely one of the places where his injuries were the worst.
