Chapter 655: Chapter 627 I Really Didn’t Mean to...

With Li Chen’s departure, the villa fell into a deathly silence.

Naturally, the Nether Army took care of the follow-up matters for Li Chen.

After Li Chen had left, the Nether Army arrived at the villa and cleaned up all the bodyguards scattered at the entrance.

As for how the Nether Army cleaned things up, Li Chen didn’t bother to ask. After all, he had already said that if those people knew of the Black General’s true identity, they had to be silenced; otherwise, it didn’t matter.

A bunch of ordinary people couldn’t make much of a difference anyway.

Towards ordinary people, as long as they didn’t provoke him, Li Chen generally wasn’t keen on killing needlessly.

With everyone gone, the villa had become empty and desolate, its tranquil surroundings lending it an even more eerie atmosphere.

However, some strange occurrences were taking place in the basement of this villa.

In the place where the Black General had died, a peculiar aura gradually began to emerge.

The temperature in the entire basement seemed to plummet suddenly with the appearance of this aura.

And as the basement temperature dropped, insects black as mosquitoes started to emerge from the ground where the Black General had died.

These insects quickly formed a small swarm; each black bug exuded a spine-chilling evil qi.

And this evil qi was the source of the temperature drop in the basement.

Among the swarm, there was a gold bug, fist-sized and seemingly intelligent, as if it were commanding the black insects.

After milling about in the basement for a while, the swarm left the villa and flew off into the distance.

...

"Aren’t you going to say something?" Li Chen said somewhat helplessly, sitting by the hospital bed, looking at An Qin.

On Li Chen’s face, there was a clear slap mark.

However, he didn’t feel unjust about the slap; while healing An Qin, he indeed saw quite a bit...

"Now that the Black General is dead, shouldn’t you tell me something?" Li Chen looked at An Qin and asked. This woman had saved his life, and it seemed that there was some kind of connection between them. He didn’t want to use any forceful measures to extract answers and could only keep speaking kindly.

"What do you want to know?" An Qin asked, looking at Li Chen.

Hearing An Qin’s words, Li Chen’s eyes brightened.

"I want to know what exactly Holy Mountain is, what’s your stance towards me? Also, who was the Black General exactly? The Black General had told me that my power broke through the Yellow Rank, so what is this Yellow Rank? Is there a division of power levels? And what’s the deal with your Jade Pendant? Why does it have the same characters as my name? Do you have any connection with me? Right, and also that Relic..."

Once Li Chen got started, he couldn’t stop.

An Qin looked at Li Chen, somewhat speechless. How could this guy talk so much?

"Uh..." Realizing he might have had too many questions, Li Chen stopped and looked innocently at An Qin.

For Li Chen, the doubts in his mind were simply too many; if he didn’t ask them, he felt a sort of uneasiness, and now that he had An Qin, who could answer his questions, he certainly couldn’t miss the chance.

"Well... perhaps you could tell me one by one?" Li Chen tentatively suggested.

An Qin rolled her eyes at Li Chen, "I can only tell you that your current power level is indeed Yellow Rank."

With that, An Qin gestured with her hands: "According to our power ranking system, it’s generally divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, and within these four levels, there are three orders. Your current power level can at most be considered Upper Yellow Rank."

"Upper Yellow Rank?" Li Chen’s eyes widened suddenly. Did that mean he was considered insignificant before?

Moreover, above the Upper Yellow Rank, there are three levels of Heaven and Earth Mystery. How strong must those people be?

"I..." Li Chen just wanted to continue speaking when An Qin cut him off with a hand gesture, "I won’t answer your other questions. It’s useless to ask."

"Could it be that you..." Li Chen’s words were cut off midway through as An Qin interrupted, "Either kill me or let me be because I won’t tell you anything."

Li Chen was at a loss.

As for An Qin, he found he could not bring himself to harm her.

Not to mention the dubious nature of the Jade Pendant, but his current self also couldn’t possibly make a move against An Qin—his own lifesaver!

Although Li Chen never considered himself a good person, he also did not think he was a scoundrel who would attack the person who saved his life.

So, he really was helpless.

Catching a glimpse of Li Chen’s bitter smile, An Qin turned her head away, yet the corner of her mouth revealed an almost imperceptible smile.

"I’m leaving!"

After assessing her body’s condition, An Qin found that her injuries had indeed mostly healed. However, to regain her strength, she indeed needed some more time.

It was just that even now, she was not someone ordinary people could handle.

Getting off the sickbed, An Qin directly picked up Frost, which Li Chen had placed to the side, and turned to leave.

"Hey... wait a minute." Li Chen was still pondering An Qin’s words when he saw her about to leave. Without thinking, he stepped in front of her.

"I still have many questions, about that Jade Pendant..." Li Chen looked at An Qin, and instinctively started to inquire.

However, the next moment, he couldn’t continue his words.

Because he noticed that An Qin’s expression seemed somewhat off.

Indeed, An Qin’s complexion was off. In her glance, there was a bit of annoyance, impatience, and it seemed... there was also a hint of... murderous intent?

Li Chen instinctively looked down.

"Cough, cough!"

After coughing violently twice, Li Chen withdrew his hand as fast as lightning.

He hadn’t noticed, but his hand had accidentally touched An Qin’s chest again.

"That..." Li Chen tried to explain with an embarrassed face.

"Scram!" came an angry curse from An Qin’s mouth.

With that, An Qin raised her hand, pushing Li Chen to the side, and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

"That... I really didn’t mean to!" Li Chen, watching An Qin’s departing figure, opened the door and shouted at her.

However, at that moment, there was no sign of An Qin in the corridor outside.

Given An Qin’s strength, although she had not yet fully recovered, leaving without a trace was an easy feat for her.

Looking at the empty corridor, Li Chen touched his nose somewhat helplessly.

Then, he looked at his hand, subconsciously clenched it, and a lecherous grin appeared on his face.

"Heh heh heh..."
