Chapter 676: Chapter 648: The Naughty Ginseng Doll

He threw the White Snake to the side and signaled the Ginseng Doll to watch it as Li Chen strode towards the pool water.

There was nothing else in the pool, just as Li Chen had seen in the Miao Village Sacred Pond back then, with only a single white lotus located at the center.

As Li Chen approached, the originally tranquil and pure white lotus seemed to be polluted, wilting rapidly.

And as the white lotus wilted, the lotus pod beneath it, which had previously seemed somewhat immature, instantly began to grow. In Li Chen’s eyes, the lotus pod grew at a visibly rapid rate, maturing before his very sight.

"What a magical object," Li Chen couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing this scene.

Clearly, this lotus pod was the crystallization of that white lotus. Originally, this item should have belonged to the White Snake, but now, not only did the lotus pod belong to him, but even the White Snake itself was his.

Looking at the Ginseng Doll behind him, Li Chen’s gaze became somewhat peculiar.

It seemed that the Ginseng Doll really was extraordinary, especially sensitive to the maturation of such spiritual objects of heaven and earth. The distance from Linchuan was by no means short, yet, despite the distance, the maturation of the white lotus was sensed by the Ginseng Doll, proving indeed that the Ginseng Doll was out of the ordinary.

Coming to the side, Li Chen no longer hesitated and reached out to pluck the lotus pod.

Looking at the lotus pod in his hand, and at the round and full lotus seeds on it, an unstoppable excitement appeared on Li Chen’s face.

"Yiya yiya!"

The Ginseng Doll stood beside the corpse of the White Snake and waved its tiny arms at Li Chen, as if to say, "See how amazing I am?"

"Awesome!" Li Chen gave the Ginseng Doll a thumbs up and said.

Just then, Li Chen suddenly noticed that the pool water began to recede at an extremely fast rate after the lotus pod was picked. In just a few breaths, it had dried up completely.

The speed was astonishing.

"What a pity..." Looking at the now depleted water pool, a hint of regret appeared in Li Chen’s eyes. From his perspective, the pool water should also have been valuable, but he no longer had the chance to obtain it.

"But that’s okay." Immediately afterward, a smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

The best item had already been obtained by him, and he knew he should not be greedy anymore. Smiling, he waved to the Ginseng Doll, "Alright, let’s go back now!"

"Yiya!"

The Ginseng Doll, too, was very excited about the rich harvest, and with a roar, it jumped onto Li Chen’s head.

Meanwhile, Li Chen carefully stored the lotus pod and then simply picked up the White Snake with his hand, leaving the forest.

The round trip may have been quick, but the time spent was not short. By the time Li Chen returned to the villa, it was already the evening of the following day.

"You’re back..." Lin Yi, seeing Li Chen return and about to speak, suddenly spotted what Li Chen was holding and instinctively wanted to scream.

Li Chen was quick to act, throwing down the White Snake before Lin Yi could make a sound, and rushed over to cover her mouth.

"Don’t scream, don’t scream! My dear wife, I’m begging you, can you not react so strongly?" Li Chen said with a wry smile.

Her mouth covered by Li Chen, Lin Yi gradually calmed down, and looking at Li Chen, she rolled her eyes and pushed away his hand.

"Who told you to bring back such a terrifying thing in the middle of the night!"

"Is this thing really that scary?" Li Chen glanced at the White Snake and then quickly changed the subject, "Okay, let’s not talk about whether it’s scary or not, this thing is really a treasure. If others found out about it, our home would never be at peace."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi managed to suppress the fear in her heart, placing a hand on her chest, and curiously looked towards the motionless white snake corpse on the ground, "What kind of snake is this? Why is it so big, and also white?"

"Well... actually, I don’t know either. It was this little guy who led me to it." Li Chen pointed to the Ginseng Doll on top of his head as he spoke.

"It led you to it?" Lin Yi’s eyes suddenly widened, "Do you mean to say that you disappeared for a whole day because you were following this little fella to catch snakes?"

"Uh... it’s not exactly catching snakes; it was for another matter. However, this White Snake is definitely a great find. Beautiful wife, hurry and find a place to hide it."

"Alright... alright..." Hearing Li Chen repeat several times that it was a ’great find’, Lin Yi also came to her senses. She bravely suppressed the fright in her heart and started thinking about where would be the best place to hide it.

It took quite some effort before Li Chen managed to hide the not-so-small ’treasure’. When he returned to the living room, he found Lin Yi lying on the sofa watching TV.

"Beautiful wife, have you missed me after a day without seeing me?" Li Chen approached Lin Yi, teasing her with a smile.

"Go away, who would miss you!" Lin Yi couldn’t help but retort: "In your eyes, a snake is more important than your wife. What is there about you that’s worth missing, huh?"

Hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "Isn’t this all for the sake of our wonderful future life? You get tired easily from work, my wife. I went to get something good to nourish you, so you can live a long and healthy life. That way, we can always be together."

Women do love to hear sweet nothings, regardless of their truth.

After hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Yi immediately broke into a smile.

"Look, wife, you smiled. You’re not allowed to be angry with me anymore!" Li Chen approached with a smile, "Come on, give me a kiss."

Their lips met swiftly, in a deep kiss, until Lin Yi’s breathing started to become a bit rushed, and only then did Li Chen release her.

Only now his hands had started to roam inappropriately.

"Wife, we..."

Lin Yi’s eyes also began to look somewhat hazy.

However, just at that moment, they both turned their heads to look to the side.

There they saw the Ginseng Doll, who had somehow jumped onto the table and was staring at them with wide eyes, as if observing some fascinating event.

"I’m going back to my room first!" Being watched during such a situation, even if the witness wasn’t a ’person’, made Lin Yi’s cheeks burn with embarrassment. The Ginseng Doll might not be a person, but it at least looked like a human figure, and what’s more, it was a child at that.

Being seen by it while with Li Chen...

Lin Yi didn’t dare to think further, covered her face, and quickly rushed upstairs.

Watching Lin Yi run off so quickly, Li Chen couldn’t help but look toward the Ginseng Doll with some resentment.

"Why did you have to come out and ruin my fun at this time!"
