Chapter 599: Chapter 571: Can’t You Keep a Low Profile?

After finishing his cultivation session, Li Chen stepped out of his room only to be greeted by a rich scent of alcohol.

"Hm?" Catching the smell, Li Chen’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise slightly.

Besides him, only four people were in the villa: Lin Yi wouldn’t touch alcohol, Lin Xiaoxiao only occasionally drank with classmates during wild gatherings, and Aunt Wang wouldn’t go near it at all.

So...

When he arrived in the living room, Li Chen’s face involuntarily took on an expression of bemusement. Sure enough, it was that little drunkard, the Ginseng Doll, who was drinking.

At that moment, the Ginseng Doll was hugging a bottle nearly as big as itself and rolling around on the table, its little face flushed with the aftereffects of drunkenness.

"Yi yi ya ya..."

Upon seeing Li Chen emerge, the Ginseng Doll sitting on the table couldn’t help calling out, its eyes barely able to stay open, as if inviting Li Chen to join it for a drink.

Li Chen, somewhat helplessly, picked up the little guy and tossed it onto the couch.

"Yi ya yi ya!"

Upon being separated from its bottle, the little one seemed to be discontent, loudly protesting the act, but clearly, its objection was in vain.

Besides, it seemed to quickly forget about the ordeal and began to comfortably roll around on the couch, euphorically playing and squealing "yi ya yi ya."

After all, as a body of Heaven’s Materials and Earth’s Treasures, even though alcohol in excess could greatly harm the human body, it was ultimately brewed from grains and cereals, which had no effect whatsoever on the constitution of the Ginseng Doll, so Li Chen wasn’t worried about the little one at all.

What Li Chen was worried about was whether his home’s stock of alcohol would be entirely guzzled by this little one.

Before long, the Ginseng Doll, tipping into a drunken stupor, seemed to tire from its play, sprawling on the couch and moving sluggishly.

"Yi ya..."

Just as Li Chen was about to tease the little one, a sudden noise came from the entrance.

Turning to look, he found that Lin Xiaoxiao had actually returned at this time.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you’re back... Whoa!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was in the midst of greeting Li Chen when she suddenly saw the Ginseng Doll rolling around on the couch, her eyes instantly blazing with a radiance that even Li Chen found somewhat blinding.

"You little rascal, you’re at it again!"

With a shriek, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately rushed to Li Chen’s side and scooped up the Ginseng Doll into her arms.

"So cute!" she exclaimed, pinching the Ginseng Doll’s little face, completely ignoring its displeasure as she couldn’t resist loudly telling Li Chen.

"Uh... yeah..." Li Chen replied somewhat helplessly with noncommittal sounds.

Girls have no resistance against creatures like the Ginseng Doll that are innately endowed with a ’tempting’ aura.

Clutching the Ginseng Doll tightly in her hands, Lin Xiaoxiao wore a look that screamed she couldn’t bear to let go.

"Brother-in-law, are you planning to take this little guy home to keep? Can I take care of it, pretty please?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked Li Chen with sparkling eyes.

"That’s not up to me," Li Chen said with a helpless look. "It’s up to the little guy. I can’t do anything about him."

"Oh, oh." Hearing Li Chen say there was no helping it, Lin Xiao immediately shifted her attention from Li Chen to the Ginseng Doll in her arms. "Little guy, how about you live with us from now on? I’ll take you out for tasty food and fun things to do!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s offer, the Ginseng Doll seemed to sober up a bit, turned its head towards Lin Xiaoxiao, then hopped out from her embrace and pointed at the empty bottle on the table.

"Yi ya!"

"You want more alcohol?" Seeing the Ginseng Doll’s gesture, Lin Xiaoxiao paused, then burst out laughing. "As long as you stay with us, I’ll prepare so much alcohol for you every day, okay?"

Li Chen felt a headache coming on. What was he to do?

He had no objections to the Ginseng Doll staying at his place, but he had no control over the little creature.

The Ginseng Doll burst into laughter upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words and then took a few steps wobbling on the table, "Yiya—"

"Hey, be careful!" Just as the Ginseng Doll reached the edge of the table and was about to fall off, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

But Li Chen didn’t react at all.

The next moment, Lin Xiaoxiao saw that the Ginseng Doll didn’t actually fall, but instead seemed to plunge directly into the ground as if it had never been there.

"Brother-in-law, this little guy..."

"Don’t look at me, I already said, I really can’t do anything about it," Li Chen quickly said.

"Brother-in-law~~"

Lin Xiaoxiao directly leaned in and hugged one of Li Chen’s arms, vigorously shaking it.

Moreover, whether intentional or not, Li Chen felt his arm constantly rubbing between two plush mounds, and even he was having a hard time bearing it.

"Ahem..."

With two forceful coughs, Li Chen interrupted, "Alright, alright; I’ll think of something. Next time I see this little guy, I’ll ask him properly!"

"Yay!! I knew brother-in-law was the best!"

To Li Chen’s surprise, Lin Xiaoxiao then came right up to him and planted a firm kiss on his face.

When he came to his senses, he was somewhat dazedly looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was giggling on the side.

Was I just... taken advantage of?

Li Chen’s eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief. Generally speaking, shouldn’t he be the one taking the advantage?

No, I can’t let this femme fatale get away with it; I have to take it back.

Thinking this, Li Chen was about to stand up and pounce on Lin Xiaoxiao.

However, by this time, Lin Xiaoxiao had already gotten up with a laugh: "Brother-in-law, I’m going back to my room to study. Recently, I find myself hopelessly addicted to studying; I just feel uncomfortable if I don’t study for a day."

Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to have sensed the malice emanating from Li Chen and got up wanting to run away.

But neither Lin Xiaoxiao nor Li Chen noticed that, while Lin Xiaoxiao was rubbing against Li Chen’s arm, a button on Li Chen’s shirt sleeve got caught in Lin Xiaoxiao’s dress.

Just as she stood up, Lin Xiaoxiao felt herself being tugged and involuntarily lunged towards Li Chen.

"Crack—"

A soft noise came from the couch, and then both of them were struck dumb.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was lying on top of Li Chen, and the two kissed again, but this time it wasn’t a peck on the cheek; it was lip to lip.

Li Chen’s face turned a curious color; this time, it seemed like he was the one taken advantage of, right?

No! I have to take it back!

And so, Li Chen passionately returned the kiss.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been planning to stand up, gradually changed from surprise to dazed under Li Chen’s fervent kiss. Her breathing also began to quicken.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao screamed, blushing as she glanced at a certain part of Li Chen’s body, then turned her head and ran straight upstairs.

Li Chen looked somewhat annoyed at the space between his legs.

Little buddy, can you not be so conspicuous?
