Chapter 550: Reverse Strategy 09

Don't worry, this poison is strong but won't harm a life; it only prevents cultivation.

Jin Chen explained patiently, then asked: "In the whole Chen family, who would most not want you to cultivate?"

Is… the Great Lady?

Chenshu answered uncertainly, but soon denied it himself.

But the Great Lady just doesn't like me; she never meant to harm me, and said as long as I don't leave the courtyard, there'll be no danger.

You're so naïve, no wonder you get bullied, you jinx.

Jin Chen pinched the youth's cheek irritably, his tone exasperated, wishing he could forge him into steel.

The innocent Chenshu pursed his lips, feeling down, hiding the smile in his eyes.

Maybe all my past misfortunes were just so I could meet the Great King.

The lethal power of those words was obviously immense; Jin Chen drew a deep breath, wishing he could burst the seal right now and hack that hateful Chen family Great Lady into a thousand pieces.

The beauty's coquettishness truly arouses pity.

Since you're following me, helping you detox is no problem.

Jin Chen lightly hooked his fingertip into Chenshu's slightly open collar, turning teasing: "This poison is hard to dispel; likely needs three doses for your body to withstand."

How will the Great King help me detox?

Naturally, it's a union of spirit and flesh, transferring true qi to you.

Jin Chen's magnetic voice resonated softly, warm and tender, like a lover's whisper, making the youth tilt his head away, shy and timid.

Chenshu had never heard of such a detox method, and didn't want to doubt the Jin Chen he now trusted, so he could only agonize awhile before weakly asking: "Is that the only way?"

That's the only way, no other method.

Jin Chen's tone was languid; he liked watching the youth like that, yet also anticipated how he would decide.

His distinct-knuckled fingers lifted the youth's chin, his voice dangerous: "What, this expression means you're unwilling?"

He recalled how that old fox in the Yaogong used to tease human lovers, imitating him by speaking.

Don't be ungrateful; if you're unwilling, plenty of others are willing.

After saying that, he himself felt a bit awkward, yet still maintained the Yao King's dignity.

Chenshu: "?"

In the space, Bai Ze & 0731: 【?!!!】

Chenshu's troubled expression almost couldn't be kept up; he swooped out of the man's embrace, quickly walked a few steps to the nanmu chair opposite the table, sat down with his back to Jin Chen.

Since there are still so many… willing to rush forward for you, I might as well not bother the little one.

Clearly he was angry, but his tone was full of grievance, as if he'd cry any second.

Damn it! Who taught him to talk like that!

Chenshu grit his teeth silently.

Unaware of the situation, Jin Chen glanced at his empty embrace, then looked at the youth's back across the table, feeling utterly bewildered.

What's up with your sudden tantrum?

Jin Chen's tone turned slightly cold.

Chenshu turned, lips twitching: "I'm not throwing a tantrum, it's the Great King…"

Can I not even scold you?

Jin Chen narrowed his fox eyes, the smile at his lips vanishing completely, thinking the youth rejected the detox method and was even less willing to get close.

The Yao King's aura now unfurled over the youth, every bit filled with displeasure, and the king's authority provoked into a solemn chill.

Chenshu shuddered at his fright, eyes unable to believe, biting his lip and staying silent for a moment.

If you don't want to, fine; saves me the worry.

Jin Chen averted his gaze, not looking at the youth's pitiful appearance, walked into the inner chamber, and leisurely lay down on the jade bed.

……

Tears spilled over; Chenshu sobbed, could no longer bear the grievance, got up and ran toward the courtyard.

Having thought the youth would come to beg for mercy, Jin Chen suddenly heard the door close, instantly opened his eyes and rose, incredulous.

He actually just ran off like that!

Even his fox ears drooped from anger, hanging limp on his head.

Jin Chen lay back again, arms crossed, staring at the ceiling.

What the heck is this person suddenly kicking up a fuss about!

Outside the door, Chenshu sat sulking in front of the screen.

This stinking fox actually has this attitude!

The two systems began communicating in the consciousness space.

Bai Ze: "What is your host angry about?"

0731 scratched his head, starting to try analyzing from Jin Chen's perspective.

"The host has no memory, and has been revered by all demons for thousands of years as the Yao King; could it be that he feels the Main God's behavior… provokes his dignity?"

"After all, the Strategy Value is only 20 now; from his perspective, it's inevitable to see the Main God as making trouble for no reason."

Chenshu heard clearly, his clear eyes rolling.

Seems somewhat reasonable.

Better to wait for Jin Chen to regain his memory before settling scores.

For now, we still need to give the Yao King some face.

Seeing he finally wasn't angry, 0731 let out a relieved breath, then timidly asked: "That big boss… what just happened to the Main God?"

Bai Ze calmly replied: "Jealousy."

So that's how it is! 0731 suddenly realized.

The Main God who has memory is more jealous than the soul fragments!

Chenshu let out a snort, his fingers picking at the screen.

Thinking about how to make Jin Chen calm down.

At this moment, inside the door.

Jin Chen stared at the ceiling, unable to figure it out after much thought.

What on earth is he being awkward about?

This human is indeed arrogant because of favor!

Even when those old foxes' lovers were jealous and vying for favor, they never acted so unreasonably!

Wait!

Jin Chen suddenly sat up, his fox eyes flashing a thoughtful look.

Jealous...?

——"If you're not willing, there are plenty of people who are willing……"

——"Since there are still so many people willing to rush forward for you……"

The earlier conversation went through his mind again.

This kid is jealous?

The fox ears instantly perked up, swaying twice.

An irrepressible smile appeared on his cheeks, and deep joy in his heart replaced the earlier annoyance.

No wonder that feeling of grievance came in waves just now.

He gave a light cough, and also felt that if he went to apologize first, he would indeed find it hard to let go of his pride.

The Yao King indeed fell somewhat into deep thought, his fox tail swaying slowly.

Before Jin Chen could think of a good solution, he heard a cry from outside, then the thick spiritual energy was stirred, and the seal of the barrier also trembled.

He didn't even have time to think about the reason, he threw on a light gauze outer robe and rushed out.

Just stepping out, he saw Chenshu fallen on the ground, the barrier fluctuating, and a continuous stream of spiritual techniques probing in from the outside.

Members of the Slay Demon Sect were probing whether Chenshu was still alive.

Realizing this, a fox tail curled up the boy on the ground and brought him back.

Jin Chen held the person, his keen eyes seeing another wound on the delicate neck, likely left by the spiritual probing.

The fox eyes narrowed dangerously, a glint flashing in the deep gaze at the barrier, monstrous power surged out, firmly sealing the vital spirit breath in his embrace, not leaking a trace.

The probing spiritual techniques obviously sensed danger, quickly retracted, fearing to disturb the sleeping Yao King.

The Chenshu held in the embrace moved his fingertips slightly, the provocative divine power of the barrier withdrew, he let out a sob, tightly embracing Jin Chen's neck.
