Chapter 719: Chapter 691: Embrace Everything About Him

"Boom!!"

A solid wood table shattered into pieces with the fall of a palm.

"What happened?" Another man, sitting beside the owner of the powerful palm, looked on in surprise at the person who had just hung up the phone.

"Song Zhe is dead."

"Dead? What happened?" The man’s eyebrows lifted as he asked, unable to conceal his interest.

"The official statement is that he fell off a cliff and broke his neck. But I know that’s not the case." It was a woman speaking, her voice had a somber tone.

"Is that so? And what makes you suspect that Song Zhe didn’t die from the fall?" The man asked with a light chuckle.

The woman shook her head lightly, "Whether he’s dead or not doesn’t matter to me; what’s crucial is, someone has broken through my medicine!"

"What?!"

Hearing the woman’s words, the initially relaxed man finally became serious.

"How could this be possible? How could anyone break the code of our medicine?"

The woman scoffed, "Don’t flatter yourself. I’ve already said it’s my medicine, not ours! Haven’t you already driven me out of the family years ago?"

"Listen to me..."

"Enough!" The woman waved her hand to cut him off, "I don’t want to hear it. Right now, all I want to do is see for myself how Song Zhe actually died. Even though he was just a dog under my command, one must still look to the owner when beating the dog. Of course, what I want to know more is who managed to break my medicine!"

Upon hearing her words, the man fell into silence.

He knew this woman; she was even more determined than most men. Once she had made up her mind, it was nearly impossible to change it.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can leave. And take a message with you: you’re the ones who abandoned me, and now, even if you begged me, I would never return to that dreadful place!" A faint smile appeared on the woman’s lips as she stood up and left the room.

...

"Whew—" Li Chen let out a long breath, slumping beside the bed, while Lin Yi lay beside him on the other side.

Many colorful liquids oozed from her body.

"The poison has been expelled, wife..." Li Chen turned his head, just about to speak to Lin Yi, but found that she had already scrambled up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom.

With a "bang," the bathroom door slammed shut, cutting off Li Chen’s words in his throat.

Seeing this, Li Chen was taken aback but couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Indeed, women are always conscious of their beauty. After expelling so much toxin, mixed with sweat, Lin Yi felt sticky all over her body.

If it weren’t for Li Chen’s explicit instructions not to move, she would have been unable to bear it a long time ago. Now that the detoxification was complete, wouldn’t she rush to take a shower?

Li Chen exhaled deeply, just about to start his cultivation to recover from the exertion, when his gaze suddenly fixed on the colorful liquid on the bed.

Frowning slightly, he dipped his finger in the liquid and brought it to his nose for a sniff. Li Chen’s brow furrowed even deeper.

Truth be told, Li Chen wasn’t unfamiliar with medicinal herbs. Although he wasn’t on the same level as his grandfather, he grew up reading medical texts.

Still, even he couldn’t discern the elements within this poison.

"What on earth is this stuff?"

According to Lin Yi’s words, Song Zhe clearly intended to take advantage of her, and indeed, Lin Yi had honestly informed Li Chen over the past few days that she had been feeling somewhat unwell.

Li Chen didn’t know what poison Lin Yi had been afflicted with, but he did have the simplest and most brutal method of detoxification. Yet even after having detoxified Lin Yi, he still couldn’t identify what the toxin was made of, nor its purpose.

"And those sleeping powders that took care of the Nether Army outside, I’ve never seen that kind before either," Li Chen furrowed his brows once more.

"If only I had known, I wouldn’t have been so quick to kill him," Li Chen thought.

However, he didn’t regret killing Song Zhe one bit. He had no habit of regret; what’s done is done, with no room for regret.

"I just hope there won’t be any more trouble after this," Li Chen sighed.

At this time, Lin Yi had finished her bath and wrapped in a towel, she walked out of the bathroom.

Li Chen’s eyes widened in an instant.

"What are you looking at, never seen it before?" Seeing Li Chen’s lecherous expression, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

"Seen it," as if all the fatigue had left his body, Li Chen immediately climbed out of bed, "But I’ve never seen enough. I could never see enough in this lifetime."

"You do have a way with words!" Lin Yi laughed and playfully tapped on Li Chen’s shoulder.

The next moment, Li Chen’s mouth was forcefully sealed by Lin Yi’s.

After a long kiss, Lin Yi gently pushed Li Chen away.

"Not now," Lin Yi pointed at the bed nearby, "The sheets are dirty, and besides, Qianqian just came out. You should spend more time with her now."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen’s eyes flickered, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Yi stopped him.

"Do you really see me as such a petty woman?" Lin Yi chuckled and shook her head, "We’re husband and wife. I know what you’re thinking; don’t worry, since I’ve agreed to accept Qianqian, I will do so completely. There won’t be any other thoughts. Go on."

A touch of gratitude flashed across Li Chen’s face, and he couldn’t help but hug and kiss Lin Yi again, "Thank you, my dear wife!"

With that, Li Chen turned and left the room.

Wang Qianqian truly needed care at the moment, being a girl who had stayed in that deserted Relic full of monsters. Moreover, she had been there for so many days, even Li Chen couldn’t imagine what Wang Qianqian had gone through, and how she had managed these days.

It was just that, Lin Yi’s condition had already been very serious before, which is why he had come to help with her detoxification first.

What Li Chen didn’t notice was the flicker of tears in Lin Yi’s eyes after he left the room.

Indeed, Lin Yi loved him. Because of her love, she was willing to put up with everything about him.

But which woman would willingly share her man with another woman? It’s not about jealousy, it’s simply an instinct.

She didn’t want to share either, but she was even less willing to put Li Chen in a difficult position because of her.

That was all.

She turned to look at the bedsheet. It wasn’t just stained with toxin and sweat, but also with blood.

Li Chen’s blood.

She truly didn’t want to see Li Chen battered and bruised ever again.
