Free Web NovelChapter 1699: Chapter 1696: Secret Pursuit
"Do you think I don’t dare?"
Li Chen’s gaze suddenly became very sharp, like a big gray wolf eyeing Little Red Riding Hood.
Snow Princess was startled by Li Chen’s gaze, instinctively covering her arms and stepping back.
"I, I, I was joking!"
Li Chen sneered coldly and said, "It’s better to joke less about these things in the future. If I take it seriously, it could be troublesome!"
Snow Princess pouted and replied casually, "Alright, I got it!"
Then, she fluttered her big eyes and very seriously asked, "By the way, what do you plan to do next?"
Li Chen replied, "What else can I do? Of course, I plan to ambush those three elders from Xingyun Hall!"
Snow Princess pressed on, "When do you plan to set off?"
Li Chen didn’t think and blurted out.
"Now!"
"Now?"
Hearing Li Chen’s answer, Snow Princess was taken aback.
Li Chen nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, right now!"
After speaking, he got up to leave.
Watching Li Chen’s departing figure, Snow Princess hesitated for a moment and quickly followed him.
Li Chen, seeing Snow Princess follow, was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you following?"
Snow Princess replied, "I’m going to watch, can’t I?"
Li Chen said, "You better not follow, it’s dangerous!"
Snow Princess raised her eyebrows and, mimicking Li Chen’s earlier tone, asked, "Are you worrying about me?"
"Uh?"
Hearing these familiar words, Li Chen’s expression was slightly dazed.
"Well, since you’re not afraid of danger, then come along. But let me make it clear, if anything happens to you, I won’t be responsible!"
Snow Princess snorted and said, "Humph, I knew you men are all the same, unwilling to take responsibility for anything!"
As she said these words, there was a hint of a resentful woman’s tone in Snow Princess’s voice.
If you didn’t consider the context, just hearing her words would make it seem like Li Chen did something improper to her and didn’t take responsibility.
Li Chen was simply too lazy to bother with Snow Princess anymore; his figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the vast night.
"Hey, don’t go so fast, wait for me!"
Seeing Li Chen leave without a word, Snow Princess hurriedly shouted.
After flying through the air for several hours, Li Chen noticed that Snow Princess was still following behind.
Although he wasn’t moving at top speed, he wasn’t going slow either.
Let alone those of the same level; even someone at the Late Stage of Mahayana, a level higher,
Li Chen began searching for the traces of those three elders from Xingyun Hall using the token obtained from Chen Yanshou.
Suddenly, he furrowed his brow slightly, glancing instinctively out of the corner of his eye towards the rear.
The just-caught-up Snow Princess was panting; upon seeing Li Chen seemingly waiting for her, she smiled knowingly and coyly said, "Humph, I knew you care about me!"
After a round of narcissistic murmurings, she sharply realized that Li Chen’s focus wasn’t on her.
Moreover, his expression seemed rather serious.
This made Snow Princess curious and she asked, "What’s wrong?"
Li Chen replied expressionlessly and coolly, "Someone is following us!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Snow Princess appeared quite surprised.
"Someone’s tailing us? Who could it be, Xingyun Hall’s people?"
Li Chen shook his head and replied, "No, if my guess is correct, it’s an old friend of ours!"
Snow Princess was taken aback by this and asked, quite puzzled, "An old friend of ours, who?"
Li Chen didn’t directly answer Snow Princess but rather gave a mysterious smile, saying, "You’ll find out soon enough!"
After saying this, without waiting for Snow Princess to reply, he stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
Snow Princess had never been so closely touched by the opposite sex; now, being suddenly grabbed by a man, her pretty face blushed furiously.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Shh, don’t make a sound!"
Li Chen gestured for Snow Princess to keep quiet.
Then he forcibly pulled her into an isolated space.
Gazing at Li Chen tightly grabbing her wrist, Snow Princess suddenly recalled what Li Chen had said at the inn.
This involuntarily sent a shiver down her spine!
If Li Chen really was harboring lustful intentions and wanted to do something inappropriate to her, wouldn’t she be like a lamb to the slaughter?
Just as Snow Princess’s thoughts were in a whirl, Li Chen’s voice suddenly rang out.
"He’s here!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Snow Princess’s thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality.
Looking downwards, she saw the newcomer and was genuinely shocked.
"Hell Monk, why is he here?"
Li Chen shrugged and said, "Whatever Hell Monk wants, just go down and ask, you’ll know!"
After speaking, without waiting for Snow Princess to respond, he directly pulled her down from the sky.
Snow Princess stumbled as she was pulled, then rolled her eyes dramatically, pretending to be angry, "Hey, is this how you treat a girl? No sense of romance or tenderness?"
The Hell Monk, who was looking around, was shocked to see Li Chen and Snow Princess appear.
Immediately, he smiled proudly and said, "Snow Princess, I didn’t expect a Holy Daughter of Qianxue Hall like yourself to be lustful, mingling with a wild man!"
Hearing the filthy words of Hell Monk, Snow Princess’s bright eyes immediately turned icy.
"You baldy, dare to spout nonsense? Believe me, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
"Haha, there are plenty who want to tear apart this monk’s mouth, who do you think you are?"
Hell Monk’s mouth was big, as he laughed loudly, his jaw seemed almost unhinged.
Hearing Hell Monk’s provocations, Snow Princess was immediately incensed, her eyebrows knitted, eyes wide open, and she shouted harshly, "Baldy, you’re looking for death!"
Before her words finished, a frosty mist started to emanate from her, turning her into an ice queen at a glance.
When the ice queen gets angry, it’s heaven-shaking and ghost-god weeping; even the surrounding temperature dropped abruptly by several degrees.
The water vapor in the air instantly froze into ice, turned into ice arrows, piercing through the void with a sharp whistling sound, directed toward Hell Monk.
Seeing this, Hell Monk neither hid nor dodged, clasping his plump hands together to form a defensive light shield, directly confronting it.
"Clang Clang!"
"Crackle!"
...
Tens of thousands of ice arrows struck the defensive light screen, immediately unleashing a symphony of clanging metal.
Snow Princess’s ice manipulation is unrivaled, but her cultivation at this time is only at the Middle Mahayana stage.
Though she’s a Heavenly Pride Girl, she’s still no match for a monstrous talent like Li Chen.
Therefore, although her attack is exceptionally sharp, it’s tough to break through the defense of Hell Monk, whose cultivation is a full level higher, at the Late Stage of Mahayana.
