Chapter 632: Chapter 604: Return

Two days later, when Li Chen walked out of the cave, the flames in his eyes had already dissipated.

But if one observed closely, they would find that his gaze had become clearer than before.

Or rather, it had become more transparent.

A multitude of wounds had appeared on Li Chen’s body.

These wounds were cracks formed from being frozen in the Cold Pool, but with the nourishment from the Pill and Little Fish, these wounds quickly started to heal.

The healing was incredibly fast, to the extent that one could hardly imagine a human possessing such recovery capabilities.

Li Chen looked at these healing wounds with a calm expression.

Actually, the pain of healing was worse than that of the injury itself, not only in terms of pain but also the itching sensation that constantly accompanied the regeneration of new tissue.

However, Li Chen seemed to feel none of it; his gaze remained as calm as still water.

On him, there was no longer the sharp edge that was once like the tip of a knife.

What remained was only the blandness of a common person.

If the former Li Chen was rather dazzling, the current Li Chen was like a common man who could not be picked out from a crowd.

Yet, this ordinary man had just used less than a minute to directly climb up the cliff beside the cave.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, Li Chen’s gaze finally showed a faint sharpness.

"Black General..."

After returning to the villa, Li Chen contacted the Nether Army immediately.

Over these two days, he had turned off his cell phone, making it impossible for anyone to find him.

Closed-door cultivation must not be disturbed by anything.

During these two days, there was only one thought in Li Chen’s mind.

That was to become stronger, stronger, and even stronger!

It was this very thought that helped him endure the hellish two days.

Li Chen is human; in such extreme cold, his body also couldn’t withstand it. He had fever and was sick.

But he endured.

Although he was still very weak at the moment, he had ultimately endured it.

Even he was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of combat power he would have when he returned to his peak state.

"Anything happened in these two days?" Li Chen asked through the phone.

"During the two days of your disappearance, nothing unusual occurred," came the voice of Nether Wolf from the other end of the phone: "Even that woman and the man in black have disappeared, not knowing where they are hiding."

"Good," Li Chen nodded, secretly heaving a sigh of relief and then said, "Don’t let your guard down, I estimate they will make their move during this time, keep a close watch."

"Yes!"

"Also, make sure to protect Lin Yi and the others’ safety!" Li Chen emphasized again.

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen returned to the villa and silently lay on the couch, his body emanating deep fatigue.

Two days of life-risking cultivation without a moment of rest had indeed led to a breakthrough in strength, but his body was also nearly at its limit.

He definitely needed a good rest now.

However, just then, Li Chen suddenly saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming down from upstairs.

"Hm? Xiaoxiao, didn’t you go to class?" Li Chen curiously asked, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Hmph!" Seeing Li Chen, a hint of joy flashed across Lin Xiaoxiao’s face, but she quickly hid it, huffed softly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at Li Chen.

"What’s wrong now?" Li Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, completely puzzled.

"Humph!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just come down from upstairs, sat on the other side of the sofa, gave Li Chen a look, humphed twice more, and then haughtily tilted her head up, looking away.

"Xiaoxiao?"

"Humph, humph, humph!"

"Xiaoxiao, is there something wrong with your throat?" Li Chen asked in surprise.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head around and glared viciously at Li Chen, "It’s not my throat that’s uncomfortable; it’s my heart that’s uncomfortable!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao gave Li Chen a sideways glance, "Someone here promised to accompany me to the bar tonight but then disappeared the next day. And that disappearance lasted for a full three days!"

"Uh..." Li Chen then remembered that he indeed had promised to accompany Lin Xiaoxiao to the bar a few days ago.

But after a fight with the Black General, he had left the villa and went straight to the cave for closed-door cultivation.

Two days of cultivation, plus the day before, he indeed had been gone for three days.

"Xiaoxiao, I had something come up suddenly, so I forgot," Li Chen hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, realizing he had indeed broken his promise.

"I don’t want to hear your explanations. Just tell me, how are you going to compensate me?" Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, looking at Li Chen.

"Compensate?" Li Chen was stunned, "You tell me, how should I compensate you?"

"This..." Lin Xiaoxiao said this and suddenly paused, she really hadn’t thought about how she wanted Li Chen to make it up to her.

"Forget it, forget it, we’ll talk about this later. Let’s talk about going to the bar first!" Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.

"Going to the bar?" Li Chen asked curiously, "Didn’t you go?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Didn’t you say to be extra cautious these days? So I didn’t go, and of course, my best friend didn’t go either."

"So what do you mean?" Li Chen asked.

"We’re going tonight!" Lin Xiaoxiao waved her little fist and glared menacingly at Li Chen, "Brother-in-law, if you dare disappear again tonight, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao also raised her little hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

However, her expression didn’t look menacing at all; instead, it was quite adorable.

"Alright, alright," Li Chen quickly nodded and agreed.

"Hmm, then I’ll call Mei’er now!" Lin Xiaoxiao said.

"Mei’er?"

"That’s my best friend!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up on the sofa and started making a phone call with her smartphone.

"Mei’er, let’s go tonight."

"Yeah! Right, okay..."

Li Chen, sitting to the side, found himself drooling a bit.

Today, Lin Xiaoxiao was wearing a pair of ultra-short denim shorts which snugly wrapped around her curvaceous buttocks.

But Li Chen had seen those perky curves before; his mind unconsciously recalled the scene he had seen a few mornings ago, and he couldn’t help but secretly swallow his saliva.

"Yeah! Okay, see you tonight."

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and was about to speak to Li Chen, her foot suddenly slipped, and she uncontrollably fell towards Li Chen.

Thump!

She landed right on top of him, but that wasn’t the most embarrassing part.

The most embarrassing part was that Lin Xiaoxiao’s head ended up right between Li Chen’s legs.
