Chapter 418: Do You Want to Go Back on Your Word?

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu was startled. Had this woman gone back on her word?

"No one dares to touch this palace's hand, and a mortal like him is even less worthy." Chixiao's face was cold: "I only said I would live using this former identity; I never said he could act recklessly toward me."

"Fine, fine, it's his fault, and I didn't make it clear to him, but there's no need for you to be so hurtful. He is just a mortal; you'll kill him if you keep this up." Chen Yu was truly caught between laughter and tears.

"That is his own doing." Chixiao glanced coldly at Chen Yu and extended her right hand. It was actually a lethal strike; she intended to finish off Wu Zhangbo.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu was startled. He stepped forward and returned a palm strike.

Boom—the two palms collided. Chixiao's figure swayed as she retreated several steps, while Chen Yu's body also shook, and he retreated several steps as well.

Chixiao gave a soft "eh" and looked down at her hand, murmuring: "I have slept for too long after all. This body is too weak; I was actually shaken back. It seems I must find a way to obtain some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to restore my strength."

Chen Yu was also incredibly shocked in his heart. Although Chixiao had just awakened, she possessed strength no less than the Martial Ancestor Realm.

Chen Yu suddenly felt some regret. He felt that he had released a Demon. He stared at Chixiao and asked: "Why must you kill him?"

"Because this is the husband of this body. I only agreed to live using this identity; I never said I would live with the people around her. So, is it excessive for me to kill him?" Chixiao stared at Chen Yu, speaking words that made Chen Yu's heart turn cold.

One cannot reason with a woman; truly, this was a thought that welled up in Chen Yu's heart.

"Chixiao, we are the same kind of people. I released you because our fates are similar, but do not think that you can act lawlessly just because you are out," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Heh, I am a free person now. Do you think you still have any power to restrain me?" Chixiao laughed: "If I kill you now, you wouldn't have anything to say, would you?"

Chixiao flipped her hands and prepared to strike. Chen Yu did not dare to be careless; he grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his palm. Crimson Sword Radiance surged suddenly, forming a sharp Sword Intent around him.

Lichen seemed to be encountering such an expert for the first time; it was clearly somewhat excited. The Chixiao in Chen Yu's hand was now humming faintly, trembling slightly.

"Seven Brilliance Imperial Spirit, Lichen..." Chixiao's scalp tingled. A look of horror appeared in her eyes, and she retreated two steps, her expression terrified.

"You are afraid of Lichen?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. The expression this woman was showing was one of extreme fear.

"No, how could there be anything in this world that this palace fears?" Chixiao shook her head repeatedly.

Although she tried her best to deny it, the fear revealed in her eyes could not be hidden at all.

"Is that so? Then come on?" Chen Yu smiled. He grabbed with his right hand, and a surging Sword Intent from the Lichen in his hand shot into the sky.

"Stop, you stop for this palace." Chixiao screamed. She covered her face with one hand, her body trembling uncontrollably: "Chen Yu, I will listen to you, I will listen to everything you say."

"Remember, since you have occupied someone else's body, you must do something for them. He cannot let her go, so you must give him time and let him let go slowly," Chen Yu said calmly as he put away Lichen.

"Fine, I promise you." The killing intent in Chixiao's eyes gradually vanished: "But if he dares to touch me again, I will take his life."

"Fine, I will tell him." Chen Yu nodded. He walked forward and tapped with his right hand, and Wu Zhangbo woke up.

"Huiyu, don't go." Wu Zhangbo sat up abruptly.

"Rest assured, she is right here," Chen Yu said: "Didn't I just say? Even if she is awake, she is not the same as she was before, so do not treat her with your previous attitude."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I forgot just now; I was just a bit too excited. Don't worry, I will take it slowly." Wu Zhangbo stood up.

He bowed gratefully to Chen Yu: "Mr. Chen, what is the consultation fee? Our Wu Family will pay it in full."

"Since you are from Jing, there is no need for a fee. I have some grudges in Jing that are unresolved; I only hope you can help me out when the time comes," Chen Yu thought for a moment and said.

Yes, he felt that he had grown to a certain extent, so he needed to figure out his own background and the great hands that had toyed with his fate in his past and present lives.

"Fine, although our Wu Family is not considered a great or powerful clan in Jing, we still have some say. No matter what instructions Mr. Chen has, our Wu Family will step in to help."

"Hmm, stay in Fengling for the next few days. If there are any problems with her body, you can come find me at any time," Chen Yu said.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen," Wu Zhangbo said gratefully.

After Chen Yu left, Wu Zhangbo looked at the cold-eyed Meng Huiyu and stepped forward, but then, seeing her expression change, he hurriedly retreated.

"Huiyu, you just woke up; are there some things you don't remember? I... I am Changbo," Wu Zhangbo said cautiously.

"I have no relationship with you. If you dare to touch me again, I will break your hand," Meng Huiyu said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I won't touch you. Are you hungry? I will have them send you something to eat. You have been ill for so long, your body has become so thin." Wu Zhangbo hurriedly shouted: "Someone, go quickly and get some food."

In the banquet hall, Yu Sichen was waiting quietly for Chen Yu.

She was a girl with excellent image and temperament; even in this high-end banquet where various socialites gathered, her temperament was not inferior to anyone.

Moreover, when she stood or sat there, that world-toppling temperament could attract everyone's gaze.

A few people came over to strike up a conversation, asking for her WeChat or phone number, but they were all smilingly rejected by Yu Sichen.

Fortunately, this banquet was a high-end one, and the people who came here all considered themselves to be people of status, so even though Yu Sichen refused, these people only smiled politely and did not persist.

However, no matter how high-end a place is, there will eventually be some small fry mixed in.

Just as Yu Sichen found a place to sit down and wanted to rest for a while, a magnetic voice came from the side: "Miss, can we chat?"

Turning her head, she saw a tall, handsome man looking at her with great interest. This person's attire and grooming were very meticulous, looking every bit like a successful person.

Moreover, those who could mix into such a high-level banquet were definitely not comparable to those at messy parties.

"Sorry, I am waiting for someone," Yu Sichen smiled politely.

"It doesn't matter, I won't take up too much of your time. Let me introduce myself: Zhou Shuai, director, talent scout, producer, and I run an entertainment company. I think you have the potential to be a star."

The man took out a business card and handed it over: "Your temperament and image are very suitable for the character design of a new play. If you are interested, we can talk in depth."

"Sorry, I didn't graduate from the performing arts department and am not good at acting," Yu Sichen smiled slightly: "I have a friend who might be more suitable."

"Heh, Miss, don't keep people at a distance," Zhou Shuai looked at Yu Sichen; he almost couldn't move his gaze away from Yu Sichen's face.

Although he had seen countless women, and there was no shortage of beauties in such high-end occasions, this was truly the first time he had seen someone of Yu Sichen's level.

"Really sorry, my friend will be back soon. Excuse me, I must take my leave," Yu Sichen said as she turned to leave.

"Miss, won't you even leave a name?" Zhou Shuai reached out and blocked Yu Sichen's path. Fire was already starting to erupt in his eyes; after all, his attempts to strike up conversations had never failed before.

"My surname is Yu," Yu Sichen smiled and said: "Really sorry, I am not interested in acting."

"Then you are interested in money, right?" Zhou Shuai sneered, completely tearing off his disguise.

"What do you mean?" Yu Sichen frowned.

"Name your price. How much for one night, or I can book you by the month," Zhou Shuai said as he took out a check: "Or perhaps, you can fill in this check as you please. I will buy you for one night or several nights."

"Shameless." Yu Sichen's expression changed, and she turned to leave this place.

"Heh, isn't it true?" Zhou Shuai stepped forward and blocked Yu Sichen's path once again. He sneered: "Do you really think you're something special just because you managed to get in here? Thinking you're a cut above the rest?"

"Heh, I've seen plenty of fake socialites; people like you, you put on a high and mighty act on the surface, but aren't you all crawling into men's beds in private?" Zhou Shuai grabbed Yu Sichen's hand and brazenly stared at her chest: "I'm definitely sleeping with you today."
