Chapter 726: Chapter 698: You Owe Me

"Brother-in-law, do you have something urgent?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Chen, who was packing, and asked curiously.

"Yes, there’s a bit of an issue," Li Chen told Lin Xiaoxiao. "You play with Qianqian for now. With Qianqian protecting you, I am very reassured, but I have some matters to attend to, so I need to leave first."

"Don’t be like that, brother-in-law, it’ll be so boring without you?"

Li Chen smiled and reached out to pat Lin Xiaoxiao’s head, "Be good. Brother-in-law really has some matters to handle. You girls play first, and when I return to Linchuan, I’ll make it up to you."

"It’s a deal then!"

"It’s a deal."

Li Chen said, then turned to look at Wang Qianqian, "Qianqian, I’ll trouble you to keep a closer eye on this wild girl."

"Don’t worry." Wang Qianqian smiled gently.

Though Wang Qianqian’s personality was gentle, she was actually quite stubborn and firmly adhered to her own principles.

Usually, Wang Qianqian was really kind, but if someone thought she was easy to bully... well then, they were in for a lesson from a Yellow Rank Master.

So, for the two girls, Li Chen was quite assured.

After all, up to now, he hadn’t met many Yellow Rank Masters, and with Wang Qianqian’s protection, Li Chen wasn’t worried about the safety of the two girls at all.

That day, Li Chen took a flight directly back to Linchuan.

"Where are you?"

"I am..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen put down his things and drove straight out of the villa.

He arrived at a rather secluded hotel, glanced at the doorplate, and walked right in.

When he opened the door to the room, he saw a beautiful woman with a pale face, lying weakly against the headboard.

"How did you end up like this?" Arriving by the bed, Li Chen checked An Qin’s pulse and frowned.

He was aware of An Qin’s capabilities; it was impossible for ordinary people to harm her, let alone leave her in the state she was now.

"Poisoned?" Li Chen’s True Qi circulated through An Qin’s body, and inside, Li Chen discovered an extremely peculiar toxin. It was this toxin that had caused An Qin to look the way she did.

"It was a woman," An Qin softly let out a few words before she tightly closed her mouth again, seemingly struggling even to speak.

"A woman?"

Initially, Li Chen thought it might be something related to the Relic, but from An Qin’s tone, it seemed not to be about the Relic?

"Forget it, I’ll first help you detoxify," Li Chen said, shaking his head softly.

The next moment, Li Chen’s hand reached the collar of An Qin’s clothes.

"What are yo..."

An Qin had not finished speaking when Li Chen interrupted her.

Li Chen immediately pressed on An Qin’s acupoints.

"Don’t talk, and don’t move around. Your condition is very critical right now. I can barely handle it anymore. Now, just stay calm!" frowning, Li Chen began to undo An Qin’s clothes.

An Qin’s eyes widened, wanting to scold Li Chen, but found she couldn’t even speak as her mute point had also been pressed by Li Chen; she could only watch helplessly as Li Chen undressed her.

In Li Chen’s mind, there were no improper thoughts; his only concern was to help An Qin detoxify.

However, as the last piece of An Qin’s undergarment was undone by Li Chen, his gaze couldn’t help but fixate on the fullness of An Qin’s chest.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."

After silently reciting a couple of lines from the Buddhist scriptures, Li Chen placed a hand directly on An Qin’s chest.

And An Qin herself was already about to pass out.

This jerk actually dared to do this!

Although she knew Li Chen’s intention was to heal her poison, An Qin was still so embarrassed that she was almost about to faint.

Seemingly aware of An Qin’s thoughts, Li Chen slowly extended his other hand and gently tapped the smooth, snow-white nape of her neck, causing An Qin to truly faint.

Looking at the unconscious An Qin, Li Chen gently exhaled.

Letting An Qin sleep was one way to avoid embarrassment, and another, indeed, made the healing somewhat easier.

Because in her conscious state, her body would always have some natural defenses. After all, An Qin was a cultivator, and Li Chen’s energy was considered external. Even if An Qin herself did not resist, her body would subconsciously defend itself, thus reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

"Hoo—"

Taking a deep breath, Li Chen began to channel True Qi into An Qin’s body while pulling out the Silver Needles he had specifically brought from the villa and piercing them into various acupoints on her body.

Unlike the previous time Lin Yi was poisoned, the poison in An Qin was clearly more domineering, and even Li Chen did not dare rely solely on True Qi for healing.

Under the dual action of the Silver Needles and True Qi, fine beads of sweat began to appear on An Qin’s body.

Within these beads of sweat, there were faint traces of pigment, mixing within the droplets and gradually changing the color of the sweat.

"It’s this stuff." Looking at the colorful beads of sweat, Li Chen finally understood why he had felt something unusual about the poison in An Qin’s body earlier.

This toxin was almost identical to what had been produced when he had helped Lin Yi detoxify before.

"Could there be a connection between these two?" Li Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

It took a while, but when the bedsheets beneath them had been completely soaked with sweat, Li Chen slowly withdrew his hand from An Qin’s chest and carefully pulled out the Silver Needles one by one.

"Done."

Having retracted the Silver Needles, Li Chen then unblocked the acupoints on An Qin’s body.

No sooner had Li Chen unsealed the acupoints that immobilized An Qin when a delicate Jade Hand suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bang!"

Li Chen was instantly knocked flying and crashed heavily into the wall.

"Hey! I mean, woman, why return good with evil?" Li Chen exclaimed loudly while rubbing his chest.

An Qin quickly dressed herself.

"You owe me," she said coldly, glancing at Li Chen disdainfully.

Li Chen was immediately at a loss for words.

It seemed he really did owe this woman quite a bit.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that," said Li Chen as he stood up. An Qin hadn’t really used her full strength, and moreover, with An Qin’s capabilities, even if she had, it would hardly hurt him.

"Who was it that hurt you this time?"

Upon hearing this, An Qin furrowed her brows and looked up at Li Chen.

"A woman."

"What woman?"

"A... very special woman." Remembering what Jiang Bingyu had said, An Qin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
