Chapter 102: My Power Is Enough to Pin You Down!

Li Chen’s words made Wu Nanzhi’s chest heave with anger.

In her view, only his mouth was more formidable than his cultivation.

Wu Nanzhi felt she and Li Chen were born under incompatible stars—every meeting ended in fury.

Still, that woman’s figure had been truly exaggerated, the very embodiment of sacred allure.

Wu Nanzhi had once prided herself on her own assets, but seeing her, she felt immense pressure.

The imperial capital truly harbored dragons and tigers—such women existed here, it was absurd.

Yet Wu Nanzhi felt no inferiority; after all, she hadn’t fully “developed” yet.

She figured that if she wanted, she could ask her family to send her tonics—she refused to believe she wouldn’t reach that scale someday.

Wait, why am I even thinking about this? Li Chen liking her doesn’t mean I have to match her—I’m not even related to him!

Hearing Li Chen’s question, she puffed out her cheeks and snapped, “I didn’t, if you like her, go flirt with her!”

Women say things like that to make men chase after them—around them, plenty of men were already soothing their girlfriends, since most here were couples.

Then Li Chen actually stood up and went to flirt with her!

Wu Nanzhi: “.”

The restaurant patrons: “.”

Bro, you’re really going through with this?

No wonder you eat so well—you’re truly a role model among our kind!

Every man in the restaurant cast admiring glances at Li Chen.

They all thought Li Chen was the real man—a brave soul who faced his desires head-on!

Brother, may your journey be blessed!

We’ll erect a monument to you, sing your praises forever!

Wu Nanzhi was the most stunned—she’d barely finished speaking when Li Chen walked off without hesitation.

At that moment, Li Chen sat across from the stunning woman and said, “Have we met before?”

Those nearby nearly lost their composure.

Damn, this kid’s a straight-up player from the first word.

Definitely a seasoned seducer, a master of the flower world.

Facing a woman of such overwhelming caliber, he didn’t blush or flinch—it was beyond imitation.

Many men hadn’t approached her not because they didn’t want to, but because they were too shy to stand up.

Li Chen had just left the Southern Prince’s Mansion—he still had some self-control.

The woman across from him smiled faintly, glancing at Wu Nanzhi, and said, “Why don’t you go comfort your girlfriend? She’s about to get truly angry.”

Her voice was celestial, graceful and melodic, stirring deep emotions within.

Every man there imagined how thrilling it would be to hear her make other sounds.

Li Chen turned back and said casually, “She’s my sister.”

Wu Nanzhi finally snapped.

You’re never letting this joke go, are you?

For her, you’re cutting ties with me so fast? Fine, fine—I’m waiting for you!

Seeing this scene, the Lady Youlan laughed aloud.

That morning, she and her consort, the Supreme Heaven Man, had arrived in the imperial capital.

She was the Supreme Heaven Man’s secret weapon, and according to protocol, he was scheduled to meet the Emperor’s Saintly Master today—her identity made it inconvenient to appear openly.

While the Supreme Heaven Man went to meet Li Xian, she wandered nearby to clear her mind.

Li Xian didn’t even know his mother-in-law, Lady Youlan, had come—he thought only his master, the Supreme Heaven Man, was present.

Only the Supreme Heaven Man knew Lady Youlan was a Saintly Realm cultivator.

Li Xian assumed that even if his mother-in-law had come, she couldn’t help—Saintly Realm battles were beyond the participation of lesser cultivators.

By noon, Lady Youlan had simply found a place to eat.

Even if someone flirted with her, so what? She was a Saintly Realm cultivator.

Even without unleashing her full power, she could easily intimidate many.

Li Chen’s flirting method surprised her—she was a married woman, not some naive girl.

She usually despised being approached, but Li Chen was an exception—he was simply handsome enough.

Not that she liked him, just that she didn’t mind him much.

Seeing the beautiful woman willing to speak to him, and with such calmness, Li Chen knew he could keep going.

Whether it worked or not was another matter—he had to try first.

While Lady Youlan ordered, Li Chen began explaining the restaurant’s dishes and their flavors.

Beside them, Wu Nanzhi finally understood—this guy was using the knowledge she’d given him to seduce women.

Angry as she was, Wu Nanzhi felt the stunning woman before her was likely married and would reject Li Chen.

Once she rejected him, she’d heap scorn on Li Chen.

Wu Nanzhi was already crafting cruel words in her mind to mock him next.

Not necessarily vulgar—but absolutely venomous!

Many nearby couples saw Wu Nanzhi’s expression and knew one thing: if Li Chen failed to win this woman, he’d lose both the melon and the sesame seed.

In truth, no one believed Li Chen had a chance—they merely admired his courage. Yet as Lady Youlan ordered, the two chatted easily.

Anyone new entering might have thought they already knew each other.

“You’re not from the imperial capital, are you?” Li Chen began subtly probing for information.

“Hmm, I just arrived today. But how did you know?” Lady Youlan asked, puzzled.

His words had made her wary—she and the Supreme Heaven Man had concealed their identities throughout their journey; how had he seen through them here?

“It’s nothing—there are only two possible questions here: either you’re from the capital, or you’re not. I just asked one randomly,” Li Chen said bluntly.

“That’s true. But from your speech, you seem to be a local,” Lady Youlan said, eager to gather information since she’d just arrived.

After all, she and her consort had traveled thousands of miles from the Heavenly Evolution Divine Sect specifically to assassinate the new emperor, Li Chen.

She didn’t know her target sat right across from her.

According to Prince Li Xian, Li Chen was a deeply hidden, calculating schemer who never left the palace.

So they planned to strike during the Spring Hunt.

!

Of course, anyone intending to eliminate Li Chen held the same idea.

“Yes, I’ve lived in the capital since childhood. If you have any needs here, I might be able to help.”

Li Chen was probing her purpose for coming to the capital—knowing it would let him continue the conversation, making her feel he could assist her, ensuring further progress.

But Lady Youlan dismissed his words—she didn’t believe he could help with what she intended to do.

Besides, she was a married woman; she’d only tolerated this conversation because he was amusing.

She understood what normal men would think upon seeing her attire.

Along the journey, she’d faced countless troubles—some second-generation brats had spat vulgarities at her; Li Chen was polite and carried himself with grace.

Add to that his striking beauty, and she’d agreed to speak with him longer.

Most people weren’t even worthy of her attention.

But that didn’t mean she had any fondness for him.

As a married woman, she held to propriety and restraint—she didn’t want this to continue.

So Lady Youlan decided to show Li Chen the true gap between them—to make him sober up and abandon any improper thoughts.

“Young man, my affairs are beyond the help of ordinary people.”

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly deepened into abysses, and a faint starlight shimmered around her, overwhelming power pressing down like a tide.

In that moment, Lady Youlan resembled an inviolable deity—before her, all were as insignificant as dust.

The terrifying aura instantly engulfed the entire restaurant.

This was the tactic she and the Supreme Heaven Man had used throughout their journey.

Simply revealing their strength was enough to make flirts retreat.

It avoided unnecessary conflict, relying on intimidation.

The moment Lady Youlan released her aura, the surrounding space seemed frozen—many young couples turned pale with terror.

They felt an unprecedented pressure, as if an invisible mountain crushed their chests, making breathing nearly impossible.

No one had expected this stunning woman to possess such terrifying power.

Many men were glad they hadn’t approached her—otherwise, they’d be the ones humiliated.

Now most regarded Li Chen with pity.

You can flirt all you want—still got rejected.

Since they couldn’t have Lady Youlan, they didn’t want anyone else to either.

Just as nearly everyone assumed Li Chen would slink away in shame, he smiled and said, “Ordinary person? Are you talking about me?”

The moment he spoke, radiant divine light burst from Li Chen’s body!

Divine aura shimmered! Divine might surged!

Every gesture stirred cosmic anomalies!

This heavenly might was so furious, it felt as if the entire region would shatter.

Waves of energy surged outward, causing even space to tremble.

Everyone stared at Li Chen in stunned disbelief, as if a celestial deity had descended from heaven!

No one had expected that the man who had approached them possessed such overwhelming power.

The beautiful woman who had just seemed like a celestial immortal now appeared as if crushed by the Heavenly Emperor, dim and lifeless.

At this moment, no one was more shaken inside than Lady Youlan.

As a Saint Realm cultivator, she felt immense pressure facing Li Chen.

The higher one’s Saint Realm, the more one understands the terror of the Saint Realm.

Lady Youlan could even see four words on Li Chen at this moment: Unbeatable!

Since she had reached the Saint Realm, this was the first time she had felt such fear.

Lady Youlan’s heartbeat quickened; she grew increasingly curious—just who was this man before her?

Li Chen saw her gaze and knew this woman had taken an interest in him.

As always, different women required different approaches.

You like showing off your strength? Then sorry—my strength is enough to crush you!
