Chapter 35: Not That Fast, But Getting There!

At night, Chu family mansion.

Chu Ruoyan was pacing back and forth in her room, looking somewhat preoccupied.

"Today I must make it clear to Xiao Ming; I absolutely cannot give him a chance to speak."

Her favorability toward Li Chen was very high now; how could she still run away with Xiao Ming?

It was just that Xiao Ming didn't know this point and still thought Chu Ruoyan was enduring humiliation by Li Chen's side.

However, there was one thing Xiao Ming knew: if he didn't act quickly, then Chu Ruoyan wouldn't be enduring humiliation by Li Chen's side, but rather underneath him.

Thinking of the scene of his goddess colliding with someone else, he felt somewhat restless and gnashed his teeth.

The Sage remnant soul in Xiao Ming's necklace thought this emotion would delay Xiao Ming's cultivation, and if it were serious, it might even lead to qi deviation.

But before the Sage remnant soul could persuade him, he was surprised to find that at this time, Xiao Ming's cultivation speed was actually increasing violently.

The Sage remnant soul began to suspect, did his disciple have some special attribute?

Chu Ruoyan also knew Xiao Ming's temper; he would never change what he had decided, and he would definitely come tonight.

She had also prepared plenty of polite refusals; she absolutely had to speak first and make things clear.

But the problem was, Xiao Ming didn't give her a chance to speak this time either.

Just as Chu Ruoyan was pacing back and forth, a short sword accurately pierced through from outside the window and firmly stabbed into the wall of Chu Ruoyan's room.

Chu Ruoyan thought it was some hidden weapon, but after checking carefully, she found there was a letter on the short sword.

The letter read: I know every day you are here is a torment, and don't miss me too much; see you in five days!

After reading it, Chu Ruoyan was very angry; this guy really isn't giving me a chance to explain?

She only hoped Xiao Ming wouldn't cause any trouble, otherwise it would be really hard to clean up.

Should she tell Li Chen in advance?

But with Li Chen's realm, what could Xiao Ming do?

On the other side, inside the residence where Wu Qi lived.

"What's wrong, looking so listless?"

Wu Nanzhi, who was eating fruit, saw her nephew return listlessly and asked curiously.

"Nothing, just didn't wait for the person I wanted to wait for, but stared at someone I didn't want to see for a day."

Wu Qi sat directly on the threshold, looking exhausted.

He had gone to the Chu family mansion early this morning to stake out, just wanting to follow Chu Ruoyan and go flatter the goddess's man.

Near the Chu family mansion, he had also discovered Liu Hao.

That guy probably had the same idea.

The two despised each other and didn't say much.

But strangely, today they didn't see Chu Ruoyan come out of the mansion; had the goddess been cold-shouldered by His Majesty?

They really just staked out for a day before returning to where they lived.

Actually, it wasn't so; Chu Ruoyan had long guessed they would do this, so she didn't go out through the front door, but climbed over the side courtyard wall to leave.

Wu Qi and Liu Hao naturally couldn't block her.

However, she heard His Majesty was going to attend the Yun Lu Academy ceremony tomorrow, so they could go try their luck then.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Nanzhi, who was eating fruit.

Wu Qi was wondering how to trick his aunt into going to Yun Lu Academy.

If his aunt were taken a fancy to by His Majesty, then he would have achieved a great success!

Wu Nanzhi also didn't expect that her nephew really wanted to sell her out.

"Aunt, didn't you go to Marriage Mountain today? How was the result of the fortune-telling?"

"It was okay; the scenery there is quite good, and marriage and such are just for fun; your aunt doesn't believe in that stuff."

Actually, she had gotten a top-tier fortune, and the fortune-teller indicated that she would meet her true love in the near future.

Wu Nanzhi felt that the fortune-teller was just saying auspicious words, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Did you meet any interesting people?"

Wu Nanzhi didn't answer this question, but she had indeed met a man.

That man's aura was very strong, he looked very handsome, and most importantly, his eyes were very clear. He did give her a somewhat different feeling.

Seeing Wu Nanzhi silent, Wu Qi began to change the subject and talked about Yun Lu Academy, which aroused Wu Nanzhi's curiosity.

"Heard from your grandfather, the Master of Yun Lu Academy is a Sage Realm powerhouse; your grandfather once had a chance encounter with him and had a high opinion of him."

Seeing his aunt interested, Wu Qi naturally went along with the conversation.

Finally, under his pestering, Wu Nanzhi agreed to accompany him to take a look tomorrow.

Deep in the palace, when Li Chen returned to his sleeping quarters, he found a pretty figure lying on his bed.

Regarding this, he didn't feel very surprised, because this person was Li Si.

After Li Si left the Imperial Study, she went straight to Li Chen's sleeping quarters.

She hadn't been here for a long time, but every time she came, it filled her with joy.

The dignified and virtuous Ninth Princess outside was just a big girl releasing her nature here.

She familiarly opened a door, inside were toys Li Chen had made himself when he had nothing to do.

!

Don't know why, even though she had played with them many times, Li Si still liked playing with that toy called 'Lego'.

Now that Li Chen wasn't here, this was her territory!

That feeling of not needing to pretend was really good.

Under her skillful hands, the Legos turned into various wonderful buildings.

Spending a full two hours, she even completed a small imperial palace.

At this time, if she could get Li Chen's praise, that would be great.

"Ai, why hasn't Brother come back yet? How long is this date going to last?"

Li Si yawned, her expression slightly tired, and she lay on Li Chen's bed.

She took a violent breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

The scent remaining on the quilt made every cell in her body joyful.

Unknowingly, she hugged Li Chen's pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Si opened her eyes again, a divine and handsome face she had been thinking about day and night appeared in front of her.

"Brother, you're finally back."

Li Si slowly opened those eyes that seemed to contain stars; in her sleepy state, she revealed a purity and tenderness untainted by the world.

Her eyelashes fluttered gently, and those eyes gradually focused, with a hint of confusion from just waking up, enough to make one feel pity and love.

Her waterfall-like long hair was scattered randomly by the pillow, and a few strands of hair gently brushed her cheeks, adding a bit of tenderness and charm to her.

And under this soft long hair, her fair, fragrant shoulder was inadvertently exposed on the left side; her skin was as delicate as porcelain, showing a faint pink luster, inviting reverie.

Li Si stood up slightly, and that fragrant shoulder became even more conspicuous.

"Can't help it, I didn't want to come back either, but there are still many things tomorrow."

Li Chen said casually.

And at this time, Li Si's pretty face leaned over, revealing a mischievous smile.

"How is the progress?"

Speaking of this, Li Si made a circle with her left hand, and her right index finger moved back and forth inside this circle.

"Cough, cough, not that fast, but getting there."

Li Chen also didn't understand who taught her these things.

Could it be that when the late Emperor let her read, she was reading these?

Perhaps no one would have thought that their conversation could be so simple and crude!
