Li Chen liking her doesn’t mean I have to match her—I’m not even related to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Chen’s question, she puffed out her cheeks and snapped, “I didn’t, if you like her, go flirt with her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Chen actually stood up and went to flirt with her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nanzhi: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restaurant patrons: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bro, you’re really going through with this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder you eat so well—you’re truly a role model among our kind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every man in the restaurant cast admiring glances at Li Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all thought Li Chen was the real man—a brave soul who faced his desires head-on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother, may your journey be blessed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll erect a monument to you, sing your praises forever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nanzhi was the most stunned—she’d barely finished speaking when Li Chen walked off without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Li Chen sat across from the stunning woman and said, “Have we met before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those nearby nearly lost their composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, this kid’s a straight-up player from the first word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely a seasoned seducer, a master of the flower world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a woman of such overwhelming caliber, he didn’t blush or flinch—it was beyond imitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many men hadn’t approached her not because they didn’t want to, but because they were too shy to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen had just left the Southern Prince’s Mansion—he still had some self-control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was celestial, graceful and melodic, stirring deep emotions within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every man there imagined how thrilling it would be to hear her make other sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen turned back and said casually, “She’s my sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nanzhi finally snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re never letting this joke go, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, you’re cutting ties with me so fast?

She was a Saintly Realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without unleashing her full power, she could easily intimidate many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen’s flirting method surprised her—she was a married woman, not some naive girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She usually despised being approached, but Li Chen was an exception—he was simply handsome enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that she liked him, just that she didn’t mind him much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the beautiful woman willing to speak to him, and with such calmness, Li Chen knew he could keep going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it worked or not was another matter—he had to try first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lady Youlan ordered, Li Chen began explaining the restaurant’s dishes and their flavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Wu Nanzhi finally understood—this guy was using the knowledge she’d given him to seduce women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angry as she was, Wu Nanzhi felt the stunning woman before her was likely married and would reject Li Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she rejected him, she’d heap scorn on Li Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nanzhi was already crafting cruel words in her mind to mock him next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not necessarily vulgar—but absolutely venomous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, no one believed Li Chen had a chance—they merely admired his courage. Yet as Lady Youlan ordered, the two chatted easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone new entering might have thought they already knew each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not from the imperial capital, are you?” Li Chen began subtly probing for information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I just arrived today. But how did you know?” Lady Youlan asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know her target sat right across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Prince Li Xian, Li Chen was a deeply hidden, calculating schemer who never left the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they planned to strike during the Spring Hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, anyone intending to eliminate Li Chen held the same idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’ve lived in the capital since childhood. If you have any needs here, I might be able to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lady Youlan dismissed his words—she didn’t believe he could help with what she intended to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she was a married woman; she’d only tolerated this conversation because he was amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood what normal men would think upon seeing her attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that his striking beauty, and she’d agreed to speak with him longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people weren’t even worthy of her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t mean she had any fondness for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a married woman, she held to propriety and restraint—she didn’t want this to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lady Youlan decided to show Li Chen the true gap between them—to make him sober up and abandon any improper thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, my affairs are beyond the help of ordinary people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her eyes suddenly deepened into abysses, and a faint starlight shimmered around her, overwhelming power pressing down like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Lady Youlan resembled an inviolable deity—before her, all were as insignificant as dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying aura instantly engulfed the entire restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the tactic she and the Supreme Heaven Man had used throughout their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply revealing their strength was enough to make flirts retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It avoided unnecessary conflict, relying on intimidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lady Youlan released her aura, the surrounding space seemed frozen—many young couples turned pale with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt an unprecedented pressure, as if an invisible mountain crushed their chests, making breathing nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had expected this stunning woman to possess such terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many men were glad they hadn’t approached her—otherwise, they’d be the ones humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now most regarded Li Chen with pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can flirt all you want—still got rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they couldn’t have Lady Youlan, they didn’t want anyone else to either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as nearly everyone assumed Li Chen would slink away in shame, he smiled and said, “Ordinary person? Are you talking about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spoke, radiant divine light burst from Li Chen’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine aura shimmered! Divine might surged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every gesture stirred cosmic anomalies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This heavenly might was so furious, it felt as if the entire region would shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of energy surged outward, causing even space to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at Li Chen in stunned disbelief, as if a celestial deity had descended from heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had expected that the man who had approached them possessed such overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful woman who had just seemed like a celestial immortal now appeared as if crushed by the Heavenly Emperor, dim and lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, no one was more shaken inside than Lady Youlan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Saint Realm cultivator, she felt immense pressure facing Li Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher one’s Saint Realm, the more one understands the terror of the Saint Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Youlan could even see four words on Li Chen at this moment: Unbeatable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had reached the Saint Realm, this was the first time she had felt such fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Youlan’s heartbeat quickened; she grew increasingly curious—just who was this man before her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen saw her gaze and knew this woman had taken an interest in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, different women required different approaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You like showing off your strength?
