Free Web NovelChapter 1697: Chapter 1694: You’re Not That Dumb After All!
The waiter heard this and dared not be negligent, quickly fetching another jar of fine wine and handing it over.
Li Chen poured himself a cup, his gaze subconsciously drifting towards Snow Princess.
Meanwhile, Snow Princess was also looking in Li Chen’s direction.
Their eyes met.
Neither said anything, Li Chen flashed her a slight smile, picked up the wine jar, and went upstairs.
After entering the room, Li Chen sat cross-legged, waiting for the esteemed guest to arrive.
He knew that Snow Princess understood his look.
She would definitely come here!
Sure enough, as soon as Li Chen entered the room, it was only a moment before someone knocked on the door.
Upon hearing the knock, a hint of a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
"Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open with a creak.
Immediately, the breathtakingly beautiful face of Snow Princess came into Li Chen’s view.
Li Chen smiled faintly and said, "You really came!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Snow Princess appeared a bit surprised.
"You knew I would come?"
Li Chen nodded with a smile and replied, "Of course, this fine wine is specially prepared for you. How about it? Satisfied?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words and seeing the wine jar before him, Snow Princess couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
You gotta be kidding, do you think I’m blind? This was clearly just fetched from the waiter, how did it become your specially prepared fine wine?
Of course, Snow Princess could only grumble these words to herself and absolutely wouldn’t say them out loud.
"Oh, then I have to thank you!"
After speaking, Snow Princess walked directly into the room without further ado.
Her feet had just stepped into the room when Li Chen waved his sleeve, causing the door to slam shut.
This startled Snow Princess!
"Why did you close the door?"
Li Chen casually replied, "With just a lonely man and woman together in a room, of course, the door should be closed to create an ambiance!"
After saying that, he raised his neck and drank his cup dry again.
Snow Princess was bewildered by Li Chen’s words.
What do you mean by a lonely man and woman together in a room needing to close the door for ambiance?
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but become vigilant.
Immediately, Snow Princess scrutinized Li Chen, using a tone devoid of emotion, she coldly said, "Since it’s just a lonely man and woman in a room, you should show your true self, otherwise, it lacks sincerity!"
Li Chen smiled and transformed back to his original appearance.
Seeing Li Chen’s true form, Snow Princess wasn’t overly surprised, her pupils slightly contracted as she said, "It’s really you!"
Li Chen smiled and replied, "What, my sudden appearance here surprised you greatly?"
Snow Princess smiled slightly and said, "Not surprised, just very surprised."
Then, she stared into Li Chen’s eyes and asked very seriously, "Do you know, the people from Xingyun Hall are searching everywhere for you?"
Li Chen nodded and replied, "I know, I’ve already clashed with them!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Snow Princess became curious and pursued further, "Oh, who did you clash with?"
Without hesitation, Li Chen blurted out.
"Chen Yanshou, an elder named Du, and another elder named Zhang!"
Snow Princess knew little about Elder Du and Elder Zhang.
However, since they could become elders of Xingyun Hall, their strength must certainly not be below Mid-Mahayana.
As for that Chen Yanshou, she had heard a lot about him.
This person’s cultivation had reached the Late Stage Mahayana Peak, far surpassing Hell Monk.
In this territory spanning millions, only Zhai Xingzi’s cultivation could surpass Chen Yanshou.
Snow Princess steadied her mind and asked with interest, "Oh, given that, escaping from Chen Yanshou would justify your infamous reputation!"
Upon hearing Snow Princess’s remark, Li Chen didn’t speak and just smiled and shook his head.
Seeing Li Chen shake his head with a smile, Snow Princess was puzzled.
She reflected carefully on every word she had just said, ensuring no misuse of language, before she confusedly asked, "Why are you laughing, did I say something wrong?"
Li Chen paused, then responded seriously, "You got it wrong, I didn’t escape from Chen Yanshou!"
"Huh?"
Snow Princess felt a bit confused, not understanding what Li Chen was saying.
"Given that, how are you here? Are you saying you defeated Chen Yanshou?"
Saying the last part, Snow Princess’s tone carried a hint of teasing.
After all, in her view, Li Chen escaping from someone like Chen Yanshou was already exceptional, let alone defeating him.
Li Chen nodded and earnestly responded, "This time you finally got it right. I defeated Chen Yanshou, and even killed him!"
Li Chen’s words were plain, yet they struck Snow Princess with the force of a thunderbolt.
It took her a long time to recover from the shock, her face full of disbelief as she asked again, "What did you say? You killed Chen Yanshou, are you joking with me?"
A top-tier strongman like Chen Yanshou isn’t easily killed.
Even Zhai Xingzi would find it difficult, let alone Li Chen.
Li Chen smiled and replied, "Do you think my current manner is joking with you?"
Hearing this, Snow Princess didn’t continue the conversation but blinked her large watery eyes, staring at him without blinking.
She didn’t detect a hint of humor in Li Chen’s star-like deep and bright eyes.
Yet, even so, Snow Princess still found it hard to believe.
With an astonished expression, she hesitantly asked, "Did you really kill Chen Yanshou?"
Li Chen sipped his wine and said calmly, "Believe what you want!"
Snow Princess stared at Li Chen for quite a while before asking, "Since Chen Yanshou was killed by you, aren’t you afraid Zhai Xingzi will seek revenge when you come to Xingyun City?"
Li Chen chuckled indifferently and said, "I came this time to find him!"
"Find him?"
Snow Princess momentarily couldn’t react to whom Li Chen referred.
Once she realized, she shuddered involuntarily.
"You want to kill Zhai Xingzi?"
Li Chen gave Snow Princess an appreciative look and said, "Seems you’re not entirely foolish!"
Hearing Li Chen’s compliment, Snow Princess nearly spat blood.
As Qianxue Hall’s Holy Daughter, beauty and wisdom coexisting, and being a Heavenly Pride Girl favored by many.
But in Li Chen’s mouth, that only amounted to "not entirely foolish." In his eyes, was she really so unworthy?
