Chapter 692: Chapter 664: You Are Remarkable

After confirming that Li Chen had left, the members of the Wang Family returned to the secret chamber once again.

Wang Tao pressed another hidden button inside the safe they had taken the stone out of earlier, and suddenly, the safe opened to reveal another, smaller safe inside.

Upon opening the safe, there was yet another stone hidden inside.

Moreover, this stone clearly had a more lustrous color than the one given to Li Chen earlier and felt warmer to the touch.

"Thank goodness we were prepared... otherwise..." Wang Tao and several other Wang Family elders all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this stone.

This stone was the Wang Family’s heirloom, and how could they easily give away such an heirloom?

Even if it was Li Chen, it wouldn’t be acceptable.

Thinking of the departing Li Chen, one of the Wang Family elders couldn’t help but speak up with lingering fear in his voice, "That man’s power is truly terrifying; I’m afraid not even the experts on the Heavenly Ranking could match him. Could he be a being from the Main God Ranking?"

Upon hearing the elder’s words, all the others shivered in unison.

If it was indeed a powerhouse from the Main God Ranking, then they at the Wang Family were left uncertain whether what they had done was truly the right choice.

Back in Linchuan, Li Chen, holding the stone he had acquired from the Wang Family, lay silently on the sofa.

Although his body was resting, his mind was still racing, as the matter was far from over.

He had only acquired one stone; there was still another one to be found.

Moreover, even if he were to obtain both stones, whether they could actually unlock the Relic remained in question.

And even if the Relic were to be unlocked, with his own power, in that terrifying Relic, would he truly be able to protect himself and rescue Wang Qianqian?

Li Chen fell into deep thought.

However, acquiring one stone was a good start, after all, the stone was key to unlocking the Relic, so his mood had improved considerably.

Playing with the stone, although it was called a stone, it more closely resembled jade in its texture, being smooth all over and very warm.

Li Chen speculated that this stone might indeed be genuine.

However, he was still uncertain, so as soon as he got the stone, he tasked the Nether Army with locating An Qin.

Only after contacting An Qin would he be able to confirm whether the stone was indeed the true Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone.

"Ah, I wonder when I’ll be able to find both stones," Li Chen murmured to himself, though acquiring this Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone had been relatively easy.

But as for the other one, even An Qin didn’t know where it was, and he could only have the Nether Army search slowly. It was uncertain when they would find the other one.

However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up.

Just then, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the entrance.

Li Chen turned to look.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you’re here too!" Lin Xiaoxiao, seeing Li Chen lying on the sofa, couldn’t help but speak.

Li Chen nodded and quickly stowed the stone away.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, a smile appeared on his face, "What’s up, no classes? You’re back so early?"

Having obtained one of the stones, Li Chen’s mood had relaxed quite a bit.

"Wow, brother-in-law, you’re smiling!" Lin Xiaoxiao, seeing the smile on Li Chen’s face, couldn’t help but express her surprise.

"What’s wrong, can’t I smile?" Li Chen said with a deliberately stern face.

"No, not at all," Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head quickly: "It’s just that these past few days, you’ve been all frowns and no smiles, so we’ve all been worried about you."

"Plus, you don’t know, the look on your face these past two days was terrifying. I didn’t even dare talk too much in front of you. Even if I did laugh, it felt so fake."

"Really?" Li Chen touched his face, "I was that scary these past couple of days?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly.

"Then tell me, how was I scary?" Li Chen lay down on the sofa, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao with a faint smile on his face.

"You..." Lin Xiaoxiao was about to speak but suddenly noticed the mischievous smile on Li Chen’s face and stopped abruptly, staring at him: "Well, brother-in-law, have you forgotten who it was by your side, caring for you when you were feeling down a few days ago?"

"And, have you also forgotten who it was that stayed by your side when you were injured in the past, and who secretly kept it from my sister so you could take advantage of me?" As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she turned red as well.

However, when Li Chen was injured in the past, indeed it was she and her sister who took turns caring for him, during which time Li Chen had secretly taken advantage of her.

Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, Li Chen, quite rarely, blushed and coughed, saying, "Those things are all in the past..."

"Oh, you, Li Chen!" Lin Xiaoxiao sat down next to Li Chen, put her hand on his shoulder, and said with glaring eyes, "Looking at you, are you going to eat and wipe your mouth and not admit it?"

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Li Chen couldn’t help but criticize inwardly, "What does she mean by eat and wipe my mouth and not admit it, I haven’t even started yet..."

Of course, he didn’t say that out loud.

"Tell me, how do you plan to make it up to me!" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Chen with a threatening gaze.

Observing Lin Xiaoxiao, who was so close, Li Chen noticed that she was wearing a very thin short-sleeved T-shirt today, and the round neckline was cut very low. From Li Chen’s angle, he could even see the bottomless ravine.

"Ahem!" Li Chen reached out and patted Lin Xiaoxiao, "Calm down a bit."

"I won’t!" Lin Xiaoxiao twisted her body, and immediately, the neckline widened even more, but Lin Xiaoxiao herself seemed completely unaware.

Through the gaping neckline, Li Chen could even see the full semi-circle, and he swallowed hard inwardly, "This girl, her figure is getting better and better..."

Li Chen’s body jolted, and Lin Xiaoxiao was suddenly lying out of control behind him.

She ended up lying on the sofa, and Li Chen turned over, pinning Lin Xiaoxiao down on the couch: "I’m telling you, Xiaoxiao, don’t go too far, your brother-in-law here is a normal man. If I can’t help myself and do something someday, it would all be because you asked for trouble."

Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at Li Chen with an innocent expression.

Looking into Lin Xiaoxiao’s clear, bright eyes, Li Chen held her gaze for a while, but eventually backed down and walked toward the courtyard.

"You’re tough!"

The sound of Lin Xiaoxiao’s bell-like laughter followed Li Chen from behind.
