Chapter 786: Chapter 758 Catherine’s Curiosity

"Hiss..."

Li Chen sat alone in the living room, gently massaging his shoulders and arms.

"It’s not my fault..." Looking at the bruises covering his arms, Li Chen felt the urge to cry without tears.

You guys charged in without asking, why blame me?

Li Chen sighed to the heavens, thinking that women nowadays really lacked discipline!

"Cough cough!" Just then, Lin Yi came out of his room heading towards Lin Xiaoxiao’s room and caught a glimpse of Li Chen sitting in the living room; Li Chen’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Dear wife, hello, watch your step!"

Wang Qianqian followed behind Lin Yi, also heading to Lin Xiaoxiao’s room. Seeing Li Chen’s state, she couldn’t help but giggle behind her hand.

"Ah... it’s tough being a man!" Li Chen’s face was the picture of misery.

At that moment, the doorbell rang outside the villa.

"Hmm?" Li Chen looked puzzled, wondering who could be visiting at this time. Of course, if it were the Nether Army, they never rang the doorbell.

At the door, Li Chen was surprised to find that the visitor was Catherine.

"What brings you here?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"What, the boss doesn’t allow a subordinate to come and check in on him?" Catherine said with a smirk.

"Not at all," Li Chen hastily shook his head.

Catherine walked in, glanced at the bruises on Li Chen’s arms, and couldn’t help but laugh oddly.

"What are you looking at!" Li Chen said annoyed.

"I’m not looking at anything." Catherine replied, though the smile on her face wasn’t concealed in the least.

"Your biggest fault is your wicked sense of humor!" Li Chen said, somewhat helplessly.

Catherine straightened her hair and said with a laugh, "I haven’t said a thing, you know."

"If there’s something you want to say, then say it." After a few jests, Li Chen looked at Catherine and spoke up.

He knew her personality well; she was not the type to take initiative to visit without reason. Even as the boss, Li Chen was often ignored by her.

"Hmm..." Catherine pondered for a moment before she began, "I’ve got some understanding of the current situation with the Nether Army. It has indeed changed from before, so I also think we should treat them in a different way."

Li Chen nodded and said, "That’s what I think too. The Nether Army, especially the group in Linchuan, has become much stronger than before. After coming into contact with Ancient Martial Arts, their strength has rapidly and significantly increased. But equally, my enemies are also growing stronger... What are your thoughts?"

"I heard them mention Relics, sounds like an interesting place?" Catherine asked.

"It’s also a dangerous place," Li Chen nodded in agreement.

Catherine smiled slightly, "Interesting places are often dangerous."

"It seems we are on the same page," Li Chen also smiled, and they exchanged a knowing glance: "No wonder you’re the smartest Wise General in the Palace of the Nether King, you guessed my thoughts in an instant."

"Of course, if I weren’t smart, how would I handle those guys?" Catherine lifted her head proudly.

"But who would dare to marry a woman like you?" Li Chen teased with a smile.

"What a mess of a man. I wouldn’t fancy someone like that. If I were to choose a man, he’d have to be a good one," Catherine waved her finger at Li Chen and said, "At least, your kind of flirtatious man is not my type."

"I..." Li Chen wanted to explain something, but then he suddenly saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming out from her room on the upper floor and heading towards his room with Lin Yi and Wang Qianqian, so he suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

"Right, since you’ve already thought about it, when do you plan to activate the relic?" Catherine only asked after the two women had returned to their own room.

"The relic at this moment can’t be actively opened; I need a little time," Li Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.

Although An Qin had given him the formation diagrams immediately after they last activated the relic, Li Chen still needed some time to master them.

After all, he had never dealt with formations before.

"I should have learned more Qimen martial arts from Fourth Grandfather before," Li Chen lamented helplessly.

"Alright then, I’ll wait for your good news," Catherine nodded and said.

Just as Catherine was about to leave, a disturbance suddenly came from the ground.

With a "swoosh," a luminescent white figure shot up from the ground, leaped directly onto Li Chen’s neck, and with a curious face, stared at the blond, blue-eyed woman beside Li Chen as if extremely intrigued.

"Little guy, how did you get here?" Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to playfully tease the Ginseng Doll when it suddenly appeared.

"What is..." Catherine was also taken aback, her eyes widening at the sudden appearance of the Ginseng Doll.

Through this incident, Catherine had come to understand that there truly are many unexpected existences in this world.

And their existence is usually very secretive and not known to the public.

It is rare to see someone like the Ginseng Doll running around everywhere,

"What is this thing?" Catherine had traveled far and wide, but this was certainly her first encounter with such a creature.

"This is a Ginseng Doll," Li Chen explained with a smile, "It..."

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, he saw Catherine’s eyes widen, and she reached out to try to grab the Ginseng Doll.

However, the agility of the Ginseng Doll far exceeded Catherine’s expectations, and with a light leap, it avoided her hand, jumped onto the table, and made a face at Catherine.

"Don’t underestimate this little guy; it’s not as simple as it looks," Li Chen remarked with a chuckle as he noticed the astonished look on Catherine’s face.

Catherine nodded in curiosity, and suddenly, it seemed to her that she might need to make some changes as well.

Having not seen Li Chen for a while, Catherine had also realized that there were many things in the world that she was unaware of.

Always curious about the unknown, she had decided that after this departure, she must make an effort to fill in her knowledge in this area.

"Alright," Catherine nodded and said, "Since you’ve already got your plan, I won’t say more. I’m off now. I have some matters to arrange with the Nether Army."

"Good!" Li Chen spoke, "I’ll leave the matters of the Nether Army to you. Now that you’re back, I can relax a bit. That bunch is not easy to handle."

"You know they’re not easy to handle?" Catherine rolled her eyes, then waved her hand at Li Chen, "I’ll be off then."

"Oh, there’s something I still want you to be mindful of," Li Chen suddenly spoke up.

"What’s that?"

Catherine turned around, but saw that Li Chen’s expression had become quite grave.
