Chapter 319: Chapter 317: A Woman’s Tears [First Update]

Shen Xingchen did not listen to her senior brother and sister’s persuasion and immediately left Guangling.

She was looking for Li Chen.

In fact, even she herself didn’t understand why she would inexplicably go looking for a stranger she had only seen twice.

Many things in this world are just so wonderful, they don’t need a reason.

Wanting to see someone is just that—wanting to see them, without having to find any reason.

As for what would happen after finding him, that’s a matter for later, irrelevant to the present, no need to think about, and no need to ponder.

Shen Xingchen did not find Li Chen, but encountered Xu Hong on the way.

To be precise, it was Zhao Bo who led the way for Xu Hong.

Zhao Bo, the proud disciple of the Outer Elder Xuan Long, originally wanted to take advantage of his master’s 60th birthday to make a fortune.

But he never expected that Immortal Master Li, who had created all kinds of legend, would come to pay homage at this time, foiling his grand plan.

However, he heard from Xu Hong that their boss attached great importance to Elder Xuan Long’s 60th birthday. Not only did he spend 250 million HKD to bid for the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, but he also prepared some gifts for them as brothers.

As a result, he set out under the guise of going to meet Xu Jinlong to find out the details, planning to claim these gifts for himself.

However, on the way, he encountered a beautiful young woman with a stunning appearance.

Xu Hong recognized the person’s identity and pointed at her figure, saying that this was the female thief who had stolen the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant.

Seeing her alone, and being a beauty of bewitching appearance, Zhao Bo developed lustful thoughts.

When Xu Hong identified Shen Xingchen, she too noticed them.

Seeing that the situation was bad, she wanted to slip away unobserved.

But she was half a beat too slow, and was intercepted by Zhao Bo.

With a lascivious smile on his face, Zhao Bo loudly demanded, "Witch, where is the Jade Pendant that Xu Jinlong was going to present to my master? Hand it over to me now!"

Shen Xingchen instinctively stepped back two steps, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "What Jade Pendant? I don’t understand what you’re talking about, have you got the wrong person?"

"Hehe, you don’t understand, is that it? Well then, I’ll change to a language that you can comprehend."

While speaking, Zhao Bo cracked his knuckles, grinning predatorily as he approached Shen Xingchen, the little white rabbit.

With a glance, Shen Xingchen took advantage of Zhao Bo’s distraction to attempt a daring escape with a move called Swallow Three Water.

Unfortunately, her unimpressive skills were nothing in the eyes of the elite disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect.

"Hmph, even if you were Sun Monkey, you wouldn’t be able to fly out of my palm!" Zhao Bo snorted angrily and vigorously raised his hand, striking down hard at Shen Xingchen.

Shen Xingchen took a solid hit and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Witch, hand over the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless to a flower!" Seeing his attack succeed, Zhao Bo rubbed his hands together and gave a terrifyingly sinister laugh towards Shen Xingchen.

Shen Xingchen glared at him fiercely and said indignantly, "The Jade Pendant is with Immortal Master Li. If you’re a man, go get it from him. What kind of hero bullies a weak woman?"

Hearing the three words "Immortal Master Li," Zhao Bo shuddered instinctively.

He looked around nervously, but seeing that Immortal Master Li was not present, he bravely said, "Hmph, what is Immortal Master Li to fear? If he dares to come, I can still tear him to pieces!"

While speaking, he drew the sword from his waist and waved it through the air twice, trying to bolster his courage.

Faced with Zhao Bo, who was all show and no substance, Shen Xingchen rolled her eyes, full of disdain.

Seeing Shen Xingchen, a mere female thief, dare to look down on him, Zhao Bo became furious with shame and anger.

"You witch, it seems that you won’t confess without me teaching you a lesson!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Bo reached out to tear at Shen Xingchen’s clothes.

However, as soon as his claws reached out, a sudden sharp pain struck him.

Looking at his wrist spurting blood, Zhao Bo was horrified, quickly stepping back and shouting loudly, "Who is so despicable and shameless to attack me in secret? Show yourself!"

Before his words even fell, a graceful young man emerged from the sunset.

Seeing the newcomer, Shen Xingchen’s eyes, which had been dull, immediately brightened.

Xu Hong, on the other hand, was as scared as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, slumping to the ground.

Zhao Bo glared at the person and yelled with his sword in hand, "I am Zhao Bo, the Closed-door Disciple of Elder Xuan Long from the Outer Sect of the Heavenly Master Sect. Who are you, and why did you launch a sneak attack on me?"

The newcomer was none other than Li Chen!

He was scouting around Heming Mountain when he unexpectedly stumbled upon Shen Xingchen again.

Li Chen let out a cold laugh and said, "Didn’t you just threaten to dismember me into thousands of pieces? Well, here I am."

Hearing these words from Li Chen, Zhao Bo was so terrified that his liver and gallbladder were splitting with fear.

"You, you, you are Immortal Master Li?"

Li Chen’s mouth curved into an innocuous smile. He pointed at himself and said, "Come on then, I want to see how you plan to dismember me into thousands of pieces today."

Zhao Bo’s sword-holding hand began to tremble violently.

This person in front of him was the Killing God who would exterminate entire clans with ease; even within his own Sect, his mediocre Kung Fu was not dominant; let alone before the renowned Immortal Master Li.

Finally, his psychological defenses utterly collapsed, and he knelt down with a thud, pleading for his life.

Li Chen didn’t kill him but simply inquired about the situation on Heming Mountain.

As for Li Chen’s questions, Zhao Bo answered each one. However, as he was just an ordinary disciple, he only knew some basic information and could not provide any crucial messages.

Li Chen lightly imprinted a Lotus Seal on Zhao Bo’s forehead, and asked nonchalantly, "In two days it’s your master’s 60th birthday celebration, right?"

Zhao Bo didn’t understand why Li Chen would suddenly ask this question, but he answered truthfully.

"Yes, in two days, my master, Elder Xuan Long, will be celebrating his 60th birthday!"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Good, go back and tell your master that on that day, I shall personally deliver a congratulatory gift to him!"

Hearing this, Zhao Bo was overjoyed, realizing that his life was spared this time.

"Good, good, good, I will most certainly deliver the message!"

"That’s enough, scram!" Li Chen waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly, signaling Zhao Bo to beat it.

Assured that he hadn’t misheard, Zhao Bo was relieved; he knocked his head on the ground several times before scampering off in a combination of rolling and crawling.

Li Chen glanced at Shen Xingchen, who was slumped on the ground, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Shen Xingchen, seeing Li Chen’s aloof and smug look, felt a surge of irritation in her heart.

Damn it, don’t you have any pity for the fairer sex? Can’t you see I’m hurt, and you don’t even offer to help me up?

Of course, these words were just murmured in Shen Xingchen’s heart. As a lady, it would be far too unseemly for her to voice such shameless thoughts aloud.

Shen Xingchen was irked by Li Chen’s smug stance and, biting her teeth in stubbornness, said, "I, I, I’m fine!"

"Oh, you’re fine? Well, if you’re fine, then I’ll be on my way. Take care of yourself!"

After speaking, not waiting for Shen Xingchen to reply, Li Chen turned to leave.

Seeing Li Zhen take off without looking back, without a whit of concern for her well-being, all of Shen Xingchen’s grievances surged to her head, and she began to sob quietly.

Li Chen had only walked two steps when he heard Shen Xingchen’s crying, which made him frown involuntarily.

A woman’s tears, especially a beautiful woman’s tears, can sometimes be mightier than a man’s sword...
