"Li Ping, when did you become so talkative? Is this your roundabout way of showing concern for me?" Su Chen laughed, "Nangong Wu? I’ll remember that name. But, you say she’s the top beauty? Is she even more beautiful than you?"
Li Ping suddenly stopped walking. She looked at Su Chen, "I can assure you, she’s more beautiful than I am. What about it? Are you interested?"
"Cough cough..." Su Chen laughed awkwardly, "I have no such thoughts."
"Whether you do or don’t, you know it in your heart."
"Li Ping, you definitely are jealous," Su Chen teased with a playful smirk.
Li Ping and Su Chen stopped talking.
They arrived at the Li family’s residence.
"Miss!" Two guards at the gate greeted her with the utmost respect. First, because Li Ping’s status was indeed high, being the only daughter of the family head was imaginable. Second, Li Ping was also the strongest young warrior of the Li family, their pride.
The two guards watched as Li Ping and Su Chen walked into the Li family residence, then, they exchanged a glance, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets!!
They even rubbed their eyes together out of sheer disbelief.
The young miss was actually holding hands with a man.
Others might not know, but how could they not? The young miss has been cold and intimidating since childhood. When she was just two or three, she would keep a stern face, and she particularly disliked men.
There are many young talents among the younger generation of the Li family, but except for Young Master Xing, none of them dared to pursue the young miss. They did not even dare to speak a word to her.
In their eyes, the young miss was likely to remain alone for life, forever immersed in her martial arts cultivation.
It’s unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
"Su Chen, can you let go of my hand?" As they walked into the Li residence, Li Ping’s voice was cold, but clearly, there was a hint of pleading in it.
"I won’t let go," Su Chen shook his head. "Anyway, once the news from the Ragefang Combat Arena gets out, who wouldn’t know that Li Ping has a man named Su Chen? Are you still trying to cover it up? Besides, you promised me that I could hold your hand."
Li Ping fell silent, conceding and allowing Su Chen to continue holding her hand.
Moreover, she discovered somewhat frantically that she had been holding hands with Su Chen for half an hour all the way from the Ragefang Combat Arena to the Li family’s residence. She had forgotten about it later, as if it had become second nature!
"Your hand is very cold," Su Chen suddenly said. "By holding your hand, I can also warm it up for you, how nice."
"I want to sleep in the same room as you," Su Chen added while Li Ping was silent.
"No!" Li Ping was shocked, stopping in her tracks and looking up at Su Chen, "You promised me, how can you go back on your word? Get out of the Li family residence!"
"Don’t be so upset, listen to me," Su Chen said, exasperated.
"Speak!" Li Ping spat out the word, clearly on the verge of exploding.
"We’ll be in the same room, but not in the same bed. I’ll sleep on the floor, and besides, martial cultivators basically use sleep as a form of cultivation," Su Chen explained with a smile.
"That still won’t do. Will others know that we’re sleeping separately in the room?" Li Ping shook her head immediately.
"Are you still afraid of misunderstandings?" Su Chen’s smile deepened, "Isn’t that just perfect? Don’t you want to keep all nuisances at bay? Once the news of our cohabitation spreads, no so-called young talents will pursue or bother you anymore, right? How peaceful."
Li Ping was silenced again, Su Chen seemed to be making some sense.
"Young boy Su, you’ve led her astray once more. You really are wicked," Jiuyou chuckled playfully.
"I’m telling the truth, okay? I’m doing this for her benefit," Su Chen felt somewhat wronged.
"I will think about it!" Li Ping frowned, pondering. She was reflecting on why she seemed to have given in so much step by step, while Su Chen was becoming more demanding. And then, somehow, she had unwittingly fallen into a trap.
The two continued walking forward.
The Li family residence was immense.
Walking into the Li Family residence, one had to pass through a large stretch of rockeries and artificial waters before being able to enter the main hall.
Su Chen and Li Ping stopped at the same time!!!
There was someone in front of them.
And it was a person Su Chen recognized at a glance.
It was definitely Li Xing.
Because this person bore at least a seventy percent resemblance to Li Tu.
It was indeed Li Xing, who at the moment was as cold as a blade, staring intently at the hands of Su Chen and Li Ping, their clasped hands, with eyes so sharp it was indescribable.
In the entire Li Family, the only person who pursued Li Ping was Li Xing, no one else dared to. Read full story at novel-fire.net
In Li Xing’s heart, the young lady was his future woman.
But now, he actually witnessed the young lady holding hands with another man.
For a moment, Li Xing’s thoughts even exploded to a buzzing extent.
"My name is Li Xing!!!" Then, Li Xing stared at Su Chen and spat out these four words as sharp as the edge of a blade.
"Oh," Su Chen nodded, he would have known even without being told.
"I’m telling you my name because I want you to know who the person killing you is," Li Xing enunciated each word, his killing intent extreme, sky-high, incredibly steadfast and focused, staring at Su Chen like he was looking at his father’s killer, as if he couldn’t wait to tear Su Chen to pieces.
"Cough..." Su Chen glanced unconsciously at Li Ping, somewhat speechless, "Are all Li family members so keen on killing without a word?"
Just as she was about to say something, Li Xing spoke again: "Young lady, you know my feelings for you, and perhaps I will never be worthy of you in this lifetime. But, Li Xing will never allow anyone to defile you."
In Li Xing’s eyes, Su Chen holding Li Ping’s hand at this moment was a defilement.
The young lady’s body was untouchable by anyone, even her hand.
Whoever dared to touch her deserved to die.
"As you wish," Li Ping shook her head, feeling somewhat inexplicably irritated. She was already feeling like she had been tricked by Su Chen, and now encountering the irrational Li Xing, she felt even more annoyed.
"Thank you, young lady!" Li Xing was ecstatic within.
The young lady had actually agreed to let him kill.
He would definitely not disappoint the young lady.
A cruel smile flickered across Li Xing’s lips, his killing intent was already materializing. In his heart, Su Chen was already on the must-die list, with no second possibility.
"Do you have anything else you want to say? Speak now!" Then, Li Xing said indifferently, staring at Su Chen, "Consider it your last words!"
No wonder Li Xing was so confident.
He was at the peak of the First Layer of the Qiongji Realm, almost reaching the Second Layer.
And the opponent, at the third level of the Creation Realm.
He was confident he could obliterate Su Chen with one move, to the point of soul annihilation.
"I do have something to say," Su Chen said strangely as he touched his nose, remained silent for a moment of breath, and then his voice suddenly turned cold, "That thing, your brother Li Tu, he died by my hands."
