Chapter 690: Chapter 662: Never Give Up the Slightest Hope

Seeing Li Chen’s actions, An Qin finally became furious.

How many times had it been?

How come this bastard’s hand always ended up in that spot every time?

It was absolutely on purpose!

In An Qin’s heart, a wordless rage rose up, and she raised her hand to deliver a palm strike to Li Chen’s chest.

"Bang!"

It was just a moment, and Li Chen was sent flying.

"Ah!"

Seeing Li Chen being sent flying, Lin Yi couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise and rushed towards Li Chen immediately. Blood was spreading from the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.

His physical condition was already poor, and under An Qin’s strike, it had become even worse. However, Li Chen looked at An Qin and managed a bitter smile.

This slap had indeed snapped him back to reality.

"Serves you right!" Glaring at Li Chen, An Qin got up and flew away.

She knew how forceful she had been with her slap, and it wouldn’t cause Li Chen too much damage. Li Chen was already in poor health, and she had not struck him too hard.

Watching An Qin leave, Li Chen’s eyes showed a trace of contemplation.

No matter what, An Qin had helped him again, although he wasn’t clear about why she would want to help him. But he took this favor to heart once more.

"No matter what, I must reopen the Relic and save Qianqian!" Li Chen firmly decided in his heart.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Li Chen’s pale face, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m fine." Li Chen shook his head. Seeing Lin Yi, he felt a bit guilty and didn’t want Lin Yi to keep worrying, so he didn’t say much.

"A bit of rest and recovery should do the trick," Li Chen added.

At home, there was the White Snake, as well as Lotus Seeds and Cold Pool Water. Although those items were meant for practicing, they could also be used for a quick recovery from his injuries.

Li Chen was well aware of this.

"Let’s go back now then," Lin Yi said.

This time, Li Chen didn’t refuse. This time, he was truly sober.

As long as he was still standing, there was still hope. If he fell, that would be the true loss of hope.

So no matter what, he couldn’t just fall. He didn’t have the luxury of falling.

Because, by his side, there were still many he had to protect.

After giving instructions to the others to guard the Relic and dispose of the Nether Army Warriors’ bodies, Li Chen watched them being buried in the forest, deeply imprinting this matter in his mind, then turned and left Mong Kok Forest.

This vengeance, he had to avenge it, no matter what!

Returning to the villa, Li Chen was deep in thought all the way, and seeing Li Chen contemplating, Lin Yi did not disturb him. She knew his mood must be very heavy, so as a wife, all she could do was to silently support him.

"Hm?" When Li Chen and Lin Yi got back to the villa, what they saw was Lin Xiaoxiao.

Li Chen didn’t expect that at this time, Lin Xiaoxiao would be there as well.

"Sister, Brother-in-law, you’re back," Lin Xiaoxiao greeted the two hurriedly.

"You talk to your brother-in-law, I’ll go up first," Lin Yi said to Lin Xiaoxiao, winking at her as he spoke.

Lin Xiaoxiao secretly gave Lin Yi a ’no problem’ gesture and then went over to Li Chen’s side.

Lin Yi had rushed over after receiving a notification from the Nether Army, and Lin Xiaoxiao was there at the time too, originally planning to go together but Lin Yi had her stay.

After arriving at Mong Kok Forest and seeing Li Chen’s condition, Lin Yi found a moment to call Lin Xiaoxiao and told her about what had happened, so Lin Xiaoxiao also knew what was going on.

Looking at Li Chen, concern appeared on Lin Xiaoxiao’s face, "Brother-in-law, don’t worry, Sister Qianqian will definitely be fine. Plus, from her facial features, she doesn’t seem like someone who would die young."

At her words, Li Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with some surprise, "You know how to read faces?"

Seeing that she had captured Li Chen’s attention, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but proudly claim, "Of course, what can’t you find online these days? I learned it from the internet!"

Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, a bitter smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

He too hoped that Wang Qianqian was alright, but as for those things online... Li Chen shook his head.

At that moment, he deeply regretted not learning some divination techniques when he was with his four grandfathers.

Now, even though he was worried, it was all just needless anxiety.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Seeing that Li Chen had spaced out again, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and wave it in front of his face.

"Stop thinking about those troublesome things. Consider this, even if you worry now, apart from adding pressure on yourself, there’s no other benefit, right?" Lin Xiaoxiao spoke up.

"So, what you should really do now is to get some rest!" Lin Xiaoxiao said, and she suddenly stood up, "Here, try this massage technique I recently learned from a classmate to help you relax."

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao actually stood behind Li Chen and began to massage him.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao like this, the bitter smile on Li Chen’s face deepened, wondering since when he needed someone else’s comfort.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao?"

"Ah, brother-in-law, I’m here!" Lin Xiaoxiao brought her head close to Li Chen’s ear and spoke.

"Look, stop doing this, your brother-in-law here isn’t that fragile," Li Chen said, pulling Lin Xiaoxiao back onto the couch with a tug.

"Then you have to promise me not to keep frowning anymore, see, with your sullen face, the whole household’s mood is affected," Lin Xiaoxiao came in front of Li Chen and made funny faces as she spoke.

"Alright, alright!" Li Chen hurriedly said, trying to push Lin Xiaoxiao away, as it wouldn’t be good fun if Lin Yi saw this scene.

Yet, his attempt to push her away didn’t go well and he accidentally touched Lin Xiaoxiao’s chest.

"Uh..."

Li Chen awkwardly withdrew his hand, "I really didn’t mean to..."

"Pervert brother-in-law! Even at this time, you don’t forget to take advantage," Lin Xiaoxiao stood up with her face flushed, tossing her long hair, and ran straight upstairs.

For the next two days, Li Chen stayed at home, focusing on healing and practicing.

He was also waiting for news, news from the Nether Army.

No matter what, he wasn’t going to give up, even if there was only a slight chance.

That day, Li Chen finally received another notice from the Nether Army.

"Sir, we have news about the ’Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone’ you asked about!"

"What!" Hearing this, Li Chen suddenly stood up, his face full of joy!
