Chapter 38

At the same time, Li Ruoling's face fell into gloom, her eyes red-rimmed; he, he had rejected her.

Why? Could it be that she had not done enough?

So this was the feeling Xu Chen had experienced in his past life when she rejected him; she felt it now.

Xu Chen had suffered so much before; she had rejected him so many times, yet he still fiercely protected her.

If she now retreated because of a tiny grievance, how could she speak of loving Xu Chen?

She must strive, move Xu Chen with her true heart, and never retreat.

Beside them, Jiang Hong and Jiang Lan pouted; their master was shameless.

Stealing even her disciple's man, pfft!

Hmph! But they would not give up either.

Xu Chen has not yet fallen in love with anyone; they all have a chance!

The crowd around witnessed this scene and nearly went mad.

"Did you see? Elder Chi Lian suddenly became dull, as if she had fallen in love."

"And the Saintess wants to cry; so pitiful, I even want to beat Xu Chen."

Grandmother, the good-looking ones have all been snatched by the thief Xu; the rogue is detestable.

The crowd chattered, gnashing their teeth in anger.

Four great beauties, each a figure who could sink fish and make geese fall.

Yet at this moment, all were lost to Xu Chen; how could they not be jealous?

Thief Xu, you have already become the Xuegong's public enemy!

Ye Xuan watched, feeling a fresh pang of heartache; that sensation of loss was even stronger.

Damn it, should not all of this have been his?

Xu Chen, from now on, you and I shall be eternal enemies!

Xu Chen looked at the aggrieved Li Ruoling and the pouting Jiang Hong and Jiang Lan, his face twisted as if his teeth ached.

The heroine coming to flatter him, a villain, was truly absurd.

He was just a villain; in theory, he should have been beaten up by the protagonist.

He had even prepared himself to be beaten up.

Instead, damn it, he was nearly becoming the protagonist.

Most crucially, he had truly done nothing at all.

Xu Chen turned his head to look at Ye Xuan again and found that Ye Xuan had exploded.

His expression was hideously ugly, and his injuries were unhealed, his face pale enough to be terrifying.

Finally, Xu Chen looked at Chi Lian, who was still secretly rejoicing, and coughed: "Elder Chi Lian, should we not return?"

Chi Lian's eyes were soft with tenderness, utterly charming: "Okay then."

In her words, her voice was also incomparably pleasant.

Xu Chen: "..."

No, big sister, calm down; don't keep thinking about tempting me all day.

"Xu Chen junior, your senior sister is back."

Just at that moment, a fifth clear and pleasant voice came.

Xu Chen was stunned; it seemed this was... Huo Ling'er?

Before, he had seemed to treat Huo Ling'er as a tool...

Trouble...

As expected, Huo Ling'er rushed over to him with excitement and pressed Spirit Medicine into Xu Chen's hands.

"Xu Chen junior, you asked me to gather Spirit Medicine, but I found there was not much left."

"Just one Third Grade and two Second Grade Spirit Medicines; you won't dislike them, will you?"

At this moment, Huo Ling'er, completely free of any irritability, spoke with nervous shyness.

Xu Chen was numb; he should have known not to make her a tool.

Now this hatred was being drawn over with a vengeance.

He wanted to quietly play the villain; why was it so difficult?

"I don't want the pile they gave me; with so little, how can you even offer it? Keep it yourself."

In the end, Xu Chen decided to reject her.

His words sounded very much like a villain's, and his voice carried a touch of coldness.

Huo Ling'er was utterly aggrieved; originally, she had intended to seize Ye Xuan's opportunity to give it to Xu Chen.

But when she raised this thought, she found the opportunity was all gone.

Not a single Spirit Medicine remained.

She felt extremely strange; Ye Xuan had gone to heal his injuries, so the opportunity should not have been entirely taken.

"Hmm?"

In that instant, she saw the Spirit Medicines Jiang Hong, Jiang Lan, and Li Ruoling had given Xu Chen.

Her mouth gaped open on the spot; wow, the protagonist's opportunity.

So the opportunity had all been taken by those three little bitches, and then those little bitches came running to flatter Xu Chen.

Damn it, damn it! These three little bitches are too shameless.

For a moment, Huo Ling'er's teeth nearly shattered.

How could she not have thought of this? Miscalculated, miscalculated!

Irritable as she was, she saw the heavily injured Ye Xuan beside her and immediately cursed: "Why are you so useless? You got injured just on a mission and brought shame to our Fire Dao Academy."

Ye Xuan: "..."

He hadn't even spoken, yet he was being scolded?

He was already miserable enough; she got rejected by Xu Chen and now takes her anger out on him?

In an instant, Ye Xuan's rage surged skyward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura growing even more feeble.

Even Xu Chen, looking at Ye Xuan, felt a bit sorry for him.

Miserable, too miserable.

The crowd around them also wore expressions of sympathy.

Truly, comparing people can kill you with frustration!

Huo Ling'er snorted: "Spitting blood already? So useless."

She felt nothing but disgust for Ye Xuan; now that she hadn't gained his opportunity, she couldn't get close to Xu Chen, so her disgust grew even stronger.

It was all Ye Xuan's fault; otherwise, Xu Chen would have developed good feelings for her.

Ye Xuan's face turned gloomy, and he said nothing.

He felt that, aside from his master, the whole world was against him.

Especially Xu Chen, who was the root cause.

Just wait; sooner or later, he would take his revenge.

"Alright, since the mission is complete, let's head back."

Chi Lian also came to her senses at that moment and said seriously.

The disciples nodded and boarded their Flying Spirit Beasts, heading straight for the Xuegong.

On the way back, Xu Chen was still on the Flying Divine Crane.

On his left and right, Li Ruoling and Chi Lian respectively held his hands tightly.

Most importantly, Chi Lian kept touching him now and then, shamelessly taking advantage of Xu Chen.

Poor, weak Xu Chen could not break free.

Xu Chen: "..."
