(Revised Chapter) 264: Chapter 262: Why Would I Deceive You?
(Revised Chapter) Zhao Yuqing was dragged by Li Chen into the room but still wouldn’t calm down.
She flailed about as if she were an octopus, grabbing and scratching.
Li Chen even doubted whether, if he let her go now, she might actually go fight that woman with the sunglasses to the death.
“Stop it, be quiet!” he said.
Zhao Yuqing pouted and said, “Hmph, even you’re bullying me, wuu wuu…”
Li Chen, listening to this, was sweating with embarrassment, thinking to himself: Are you even being reasonable?
When have I ever bullied you?
Although that’s what he thought, Li Chen didn’t voice it out.
Only a fool would reason with a woman.
Especially one that was still raging.
Facing the tearful Zhao Yuqing, Li Chen didn’t say anything to comfort her, just silently watched her.
After Zhao Yuqing had sobbed for a while, seeing that Li Chen didn’t comfort her, she also stopped her tears.
At this moment, she was like a child.
If you coax her, she would only cry louder.
But if you ignore her, after crying for a while and feeling it useless, she herself would stop crying.
Zhao Yuqing gently wiped her tears and looked at Li Chen with a wronged expression, “Tell me, am I being a bit unreasonable?”
Li Chen cracked a slight smile and replied, “A little, but it’s quite cute!”
Zhao Yuqing really couldn’t understand what being unreasonable had to do with being cute.
But as for that, Li Chen didn’t say, and she was too embarrassed to ask further.
Zhao Yuqing fell silent, and so did Li Chen, leaving the scene a bit awkward.
Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Zhao Yuqing gently bit her lip and said, “I’m a bit tired.
I’m going to rest first!”
With that, she quickly ran off.
Li Chen just uttered an “oh,” then got up and went to the window, gazing silently at the night outside.
There was nothing unusual around, and from various signs, it was clear that the woman with the sunglasses and her companions were not targeting him and Zhao Yuqing.
Although Zhao Yuqing was not a Martial Artist, she was still knowledgeable about the Grandmaster through her family’s influence.
Many people spent their entire lives unable to break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and achieve Innate.
Thinking of this, her bright eyes once again couldn’t help but dim.
It turns out that in this life, she might just be an infertile woman.
For a woman, the most important are her parents, husband, children.
Her mother passed away early, her father neglected her.
Just as she finally fell in love with a man, he was still indifferent to her.
Now, even the one baby she could hope for was mercilessly taken away from her.
In her childhood, she had no one to rely on.
Growing up, she had nowhere to place her affections.
And in her old age, she will have no one to entrust her heart to.
Is this the fate of her lonely life?
Thinking all these, Zhao Yuqing couldn’t help but sadly smile, her bright eyes once again brimming with tears.
Li Chen seemed to see through Zhao Yuqing’s thoughts and comforted her: “Yuqing, you have a special physique, capable of absorbing Moon Yin Essence.
Your cultivation speed is ten times that of ordinary people.
What takes others ten years of hard work, you can achieve in one year with your physique and talent.”
“Breaking through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and achieving Innate is an unreachable height for others.
But for you, it’s just a matter of three to five years.
This is what’s called the cycle of Heavenly Dao, where fortune and misfortune depend on each other!”
You’re not lying to me?”
After hearing Li Chen’s words, the gloom in Zhao Yuqing’s eyes immediately burst forth with splendid light.
Li Chen nodded seriously and said, “Of course it’s true.
Why would I lie to you?”
