Chapter 2450: This is the Best Timing

In fact, for Ye Chen, sleep had long since become optional.

Even if he didn't sleep for a long time, his body wouldn't feel exhausted.

However, just now he had channeled a large amount of Qi into that ring, and even after taking a Soul-Nourishing Pill, he hadn't been able to fully replenish it. Such rapid consumption of Qi truly made his body feel a bit tired.

Seeing Ye Chen's tired look, Helena hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, please follow me."

Because the palace had been in disrepair for a long time, there were only a few rooms available for occupancy at any time. Helena didn't know what drove her, but she led Ye Chen directly to her bedroom in this palace.

Ye Chen was new here and didn't know the internal structure and allocation of this palace. Coupled with the rare feeling of fatigue in his body, he followed Helena to that bedroom.

This was the largest bedroom in the palace, or more accurately, a large suite.

Pushing the door open, there was a living room with a Nordic style and an antique flavor. Every piece of furniture, ornament, and even the floor and chandelier here had a history of at least a hundred years. Although the classical beauty of the Nordic style was very artistic, it was old and poorly maintained, and the room had a bit of a moldy smell that was hard to get rid of.

Helena had stayed in this suite for half the night and had originally gotten used to this smell, but after going out and coming back, the smell became very obvious again.

She couldn't help but frown slightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, there is a moldy smell in the room. Besides being a bit old, it may also be related to the rainy weather here in Bergen."

Ye Chen smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, this is already very good."

Helena bowed slightly, pointed to the bedroom inside, and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the bedroom is inside, please rest for a while!"

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded and said: "You don't need to worry about me, I'll just nap for a while and think about some things. If I don't wake up before noon, please trouble yourself to call me."

"Okay!" Helena nodded respectfully and agreed, then bit her red lips slightly and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I'll help you tidy up the bed. The bed in this bedroom hasn't been tidied up yet, it's a bit messy."

Ye Chen was a bit surprised, and before he could ask, Helena hurriedly walked into the bedroom first.

Ye Chen followed her into the bedroom and found that the quilt on the large bed had been lifted halfway, and the bed sheet was slightly wrinkled, clearly showing signs that someone had slept there.

Moreover, there was a faint, lingering fragrance in this room, exactly the same as the perfume on Helena.

This made him couldn't help but ask her: "Helena, is this your bedroom?"

Helena was blushing with shame and stammered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, most of the rooms here have been sealed for too long and are really not suitable for guests, only this room is barely acceptable, so I'll trouble you to rest here. Please don't mind..."

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "I don't mind, but if I sleep here, wouldn't I be occupying the magpie's nest, and it would also affect your rest."

"No, no." Helena waved her hand without thinking and said: "I've already woken up, you rest, I'll sit on the sofa outside for a while and then go down."

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't insist anymore.

No one could have imagined that this Nordic Queen Helena, who was watched by the whole world and pursued by all the powerful and wealthy, was now, like a personal maid, willingly tidying up her own bed for Ye Chen.

Helena never thought about what she should or shouldn't do as a queen.

She only knew that in front of Ye Chen, she could put down all the pride and reserve of a queen and willingly do anything for him.

Moreover, at this moment, thinking that Ye Chen was about to sleep on the bed she had just slept on, her restless heart was both happy and shy.

After Helena helped Ye Chen tidy up the bed, she said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, please rest first. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Chen smiled and nodded. After thanking her, he watched Helena exit the room.

Afterward, Ye Chen washed up in the bathroom in the room, took off his clothes with some fatigue, placed them neatly on the bench at the end of the bed, and, except for his underwear, held only the ring in his palm.

Immediately after, he lay down on the bed that still had residual warmth and a lingering fragrance.

Thinking that this body temperature and lingering fragrance both came from the graceful and moving Helena, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit dazed and intoxicated for a moment.

However, thinking of the damn ring in his hand, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit of heart ache again.

He turned the ring back and forth on his fingertips, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help channeling a bit of Qi into it again.

As a result, it was the same as usual; the ring, besides emitting a buzzing sound as if telling him that his intention had been received, didn't show any other reaction.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a bit annoyed.

Had he been scammed by a ring?

How could this damn thing be as shameless as those scamming pig-butchering schemes and online gambling scams on the internet? How could there be something that keeps taking and is stingy enough not to give any return?

Even those pig-butchering scammers in Northern Myanmar, who pretend to be beauties or rich second generations on the internet while trembling under electric batons, at least show extreme concern and ask about the target's well-being when scamming them for money.

In comparison, the professional ethics of this ring were not even as good as a scammer's.

However, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit intoxicated.

He pondered in his heart: "Could it be that my method of activating the ring is wrong?"

Thinking of this, he immediately put the ring on his left middle finger and then channeled some Qi into it, wanting to see if this thing must be worn on the finger to trigger it.

However, even though he had already put the ring on his finger, the ring was still as shameless as usual.

Seeing that a lot of Qi had been scammed away again, Ye Chen was truly a bit unwilling to give up.

But thinking that he had already invested so much Qi, giving up now would be truly painful.

After all, he was facing a ring, not that kind of greedy online scammer.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and continued to comfort himself: "Maybe the finger I'm wearing it on is wrong? Let me try it on other fingers!"

Since this ring really couldn't fit on his thumb, Ye Chen tried it on all his other eight fingers in turn.

After trying, he was so angry that his entire mindset had completely collapsed.

This damn thing was really just like those pig-butchers, eating people without spitting out the bones.

The purpose of a pig-butcher is to squeeze out every penny of the victim, while the purpose of this ring might be to squeeze out every bit of his Qi...

Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

At this time, the Qi in his body had been consumed by more than ninety percent again, and he was very tired, and his heart was exceptionally decadent.

He was like a gambler who had suddenly awakened, only realizing after waking up from the dream that he had lost too much in this scam.

At this moment, Ye Chen wanted to take another Soul-Nourishing Pill, but then he thought, if he took another Soul-Nourishing Pill, how would he be any different from those victims trapped in the scam?

What he needed to do now was to cut his losses in time and stop having any fantasies about this ring!

Thinking of this, the exhausted Ye Chen took off the ring, held it in his hand, and no longer channeled any Qi into it.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of that Lin Wan'er.

He felt that this girl seemed extremely not simple.

Not to mention whether there were any unknown secrets in this ring, just the fact that she could decide to give this ring to him in an instant was enough to show that her courage in doing things was extraordinary.

Moreover, if the nine copper coins he saw were indeed a hexagram, then this girl's attainments in the I Ching and Eight Trigrams even left Lai Qinghua far behind.

Lai Qinghua was the top of the top in the I Ching, Eight Trigrams, and Feng Shui secret arts. It would be no exaggeration to call him the Einstein of the divination and Feng Shui field.

If such a master-level figure was truly left behind by a little girl like Lin Wan'er, then Lin Wan'er was simply not human.

It seems that to solve this series of mysteries, only Lin Wan'er herself could answer them.

The massive consumption of Qi and the constant thinking in his mind made Ye Chen feel that his body's fatigue was becoming more and more intense, just like an ordinary person who had stayed up for three days and three nights, and he was already at the critical point of deep sleep.

Therefore, he slowly closed his eyes unconsciously and fell into a deep sleep.

About half an hour later.

When Ye Chen was already fast asleep, Helena, who had been sitting restlessly in the living room, suddenly stood up from the sofa after a long and intense psychological struggle.

She took out her phone in a panic, found the date record of her last period, and then searched for an ovulation period calculator online.

When she entered the start and end time of her last period and the average interval between her periods, the small software popped up a pink heart icon for her, with a line of text attached: "Congratulations, you are currently in your ovulation period. This is the best time to start nurturing a new life!"

Seeing this line of text, Helena's expression first showed some surprise, and then, as if she had made a major decision, it became extremely firm.

Afterward, Helena took a deep breath, with a nervous and uneasy heart, walked to the bedroom door, and gently pushed open the bedroom door.

And at this time, Ye Chen was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly like a baby.

Helena looked at the sleeping Ye Chen, and after a moment of silence, she simply hardened her heart, slowly stretched out her snow-white hands, wrapped them behind her back, and pulled down the long zipper on the back of her dress.

As the zipper opened, Helena's stunning back was almost completely exposed to the air.

Then, the entire long dress slid down from her tender shoulders and instantly fell to her slender and sexy ankles... ===== CHAPTER 2451 =====
