My gorgeous wife
Chapter 870 - 842: Why are you so good to me?

Chapter 870: Chapter 842: Why are you so good to me?

Lilith was now sitting in the living room of the villa, curiously looking around.

Meanwhile, Li Chen was pulling Lin Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Wang Qianqian into the small courtyard of the villa.

Seeing the somewhat unfriendly gazes of the three women, Li Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

"This... it’s not what you think," Li Chen thought for a moment and still decided to vaguely explain Lilith’s situation.

"This girl is very pitiful. I’m no Great Sage, but if I let her continue like this, it will either lead to casualties among our people or she will be brainwashed again by those people when she gets back, or even directly destroyed."

"Destroyed? You mean..." Even Lin Yi’s expression changed after hearing Li Chen’s words.

"That’s right," Li Chen nodded. "The people from the House of Machinery are madmen. Once they find out she is no longer useful, they might just kill her. As you have seen, Lilith is actually not very old, even younger than Xiaoxiao. And her mind is also filled with information implanted by that mad organization."

"So, my plan is to save her if possible," said Li Chen. "Of course, if it doesn’t work out, then I will have someone send her away."

"What are you saying!" To Li Chen’s surprise, after he finished speaking, Lin Yi unexpectedly slapped Li Chen lightly: "This girl is so pitiful, and you still want to send her away? You mean let her go to her death?"

"I..." Li Chen was a bit astonished.

However, what astonished Li Chen even more was that Lin Xiaoxiao and Wang Qianqian were nodding in agreement with Lin Yi’s words at the same time, clearly, in their view, Lin Yi’s words were correct.

Li Chen gave a wry smile and quietly turned his head.

The girls around him were indeed kind-hearted.

A long time ago, Li Chen also thought about becoming a kind-hearted person in the future.

But through repeated slaughters and storms of blood, he gradually realized that he seemed to be getting further and further away from the word ’kind-hearted.’

His heart had also become colder and harder.

Until the moment he saw with his own eyes the House of Machinery transforming humans in that almost crazy scene, dissecting live human bodies for research, and randomly fitting prosthetics.

This made Li Chen, who was only involved because of the mission and the clash with the House of Machinery, see this organization as an inevitable enemy that he had to annihilate.

It wasn’t for any other reason but because his not completely extinguished kind heart was roaring at him resentfully.

"The House of Machinery, huh?! This time, I must destroy you!!" Li Chen muttered to himself.

"Keeping her here, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?" After thinking it over, Li Chen asked again.

After all, coming from a place like the House of Machinery, one is either a monster or a madman, and even Li Chen couldn’t fully trust Lilith.

"Don’t worry." Lin Yi then showed Li Chen a ’reassuring’ smile.

"Didn’t you say? She is just faster, her actual strength is at most Yellow Rank stage. With Little Qi here, we’ll be fine!" Lin Yi laughed.

"Little Qi?" Li Chen was startled.

Lin Yi pointed behind Li Chen, and there, the Seven-Colored Being, covered in makeup, stood still guarding the door like a statue.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn’t help but be secretly speechless.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi had even given the Seven-Colored Being a name, and such a...

"Cough cough! Alright, since you all agree, let’s let Lilith stay here for a while," Li Chen said. "If nothing unexpected happens, the House of Machinery will contact her again soon."

"This mad organization, no matter what, I must personally destroy it!!" A pure intent to kill unrelated to revenge burst forth in Li Chen’s eyes for the first time.

In the following days, Lilith actually stayed in the villa.

Usually, Li Chen taught her how to interact with people, while Lin Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Wang Qianqian took turns talking and playing with Lilith.

Lilith felt a different atmosphere from anything she had experienced before.

She really liked this feeling.

For some reason, she began to understand a bit about what Li Chen meant when he said "live for oneself".

For the first time, Lilith’s face showed a smile that was unrelated to anything else.

Her smile was so pure, devoid of any impurities.

Even Lin Yi and the others couldn’t help but be stunned when they saw Lilith’s smile.

As people grow up, various things settle in their hearts, and the simplicity of childhood will no more be there.

But Lilith’s smile, just like a newborn baby, was so pure and brought peace to the heart.

However, this smile did not last long, as Lilith’s smile soon became stiff.

"Lilith, what’s wrong?"

"Lilith?"

"Ah..." After a while, Lilith seemed to snap back to reality and waved hurriedly at them, "No... it’s nothing."

However, Li Chen, who was sitting outside in the small courtyard cultivating, felt something and quietly said, "Lilith, come here for a moment."

"Okay!"

Lilith agreed and immediately ran towards the courtyard, leaving the three girls inside the villa looking at each other in confusion.

"Do you think brother-in-law might..." Lin Xiaoxiao said softly.

"He wouldn’t dare!" Lin Yi glared.

Wang Qianqian stuck out her tongue but said nothing more.

"The message must have arrived, right?" Slowly opening his eyes, Li Chen looked at Lilith in front of him and asked softly.

"Yes! They sent a message, telling me to finish the task quickly and then go back." Lilith said softly.

"You know their location, don’t you?" Li Chen asked.

Lilith hesitated for a bit but finally nodded.

"Give me their location, and then, stay here." Li Chen said, "I’ll go... and eliminate them!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, a look of surprise appeared on Lilith’s face.

"I don’t need to go?" Lilith asked.

Li Chen’s face once again showed a smile, he reached out and gently touched Lilith’s head, "Just stay here. Didn’t I tell you? You are now living for yourself, so, you need to quickly find your own value."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lilith’s eyes suddenly became somewhat dazed.

Initially, she thought that Li Chen keeping her was simply to have her guide the way, and even though it was just that, she was still very grateful to Li Chen for giving her the opportunity to live like this.

The moment she received the message, she thought her life like this was going to end.

But Li Chen’s response was beyond her expectations.

"Why... why are you so good to me?"
