Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 398 - 395: What Do You Want to Do?

Li Chen swiftly dodged to the side, evading Lian Hongshang’s sword.

Immediately, without waiting for her to retract her sword, he closed in on her, his finger swift as lightning, sealing her Qingming Acupoint on her pristine neck.

With her acupoints sealed, Lian Hongshang became immobilized, like a wooden puppet, standing frozen in place.

Li Chen gave her a glance, puzzled, and said, "All I did was remove your veil, it’s not a big deal. Why are you going crazy over it?"

Lian Hongshang’s almond eyes widened, she glared back fiercely at Li Chen, grinding her teeth as she spoke, "A goddess of the Witch God Sect should never be insulted. Otherwise, death!"

Hearing Lian Hongshang’s words, Li Chen laughed out loud in exasperation.

"Heh heh!"

Lian Hongshang clenched her teeth tightly, snapping, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Chen hooked his hand under Lian Hongshang’s pointed chin, and said, "I was trying to save you, not insult you, understand?"

As he spoke, he intentionally brought his face very close to hers, their faces nearly touching.

The warm breath from Li Chen’s words hit Lian Hongshang’s face, warm and slightly tickling.

Lian Hongshang, with her acupoints sealed, unable to move, just ground her teeth in frustration.

"My life doesn’t need saving from you!"

Li Chen extended his hand, saying, "Fine then, give me back the Fire Ganoderma."

Lian Hongshang’s eyes widened, "You..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Chen interrupted, "What ’you’? That’s a millennium-old Fire Ganoderma, a treasure of Medicine King Valley. Did you think it was just lying around for the taking?"

Lian Hongshang, teeth clenched, said, "How much do you want? I’ll pay you!"

Li Chen scoffed, "Ha, Lian Hongshang, and here I thought the goddess of the Witch God Sect was an ethereal immortal, untouched by mundane human desires. Turns out, you’re just as concerned with money, smelling of mere copper."

"How dare you..."

"Stop with your ’you, you, me, me.’ Those who know might think we’re discussing the Fire Ganoderma. Those who don’t, might think we’re engaged in some indecipherable transaction!"

Having said that, Li Chen looked around and clicked his tongue, "But honestly, speaking of indecipherable transactions here in the Human World could be quite thrilling."

"I wonder what the experience was like when Xiang King and Divine Lady embarked on the Wushan Cloud Rain together."

Although Lian Hongshang didn’t understand what Li Chen meant by "indecent transactions," the last phrase about Xiang King and Divine Lady clearly struck a chord.

Instantly, her pretty face flushed crimson, her large eyes widened almost spitting fire.

"Li Chen, if you dare touch me, I, Lian Hongshang swear that even as a ghost, I will not let you off!"

Li Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Lian Hongshang, you think you’re so charming, don’t you?"

As he spoke, he scrutinized her body as if he were picking pork in a market: "Look at you, no bust, no butt, skinny as a rail. Even if you begged me, I wouldn’t touch you."

"You..."

Lian Hongshang was almost choked with rage, unable to utter another word beyond "you".

Li Chen shrugged, his face apologetic, "Truly sorry, but harsh truths hurt. However, my biggest flaw is being too honest; it’s just my nature, can’t help it!"

After hearing Li Chen’s words, sharper than a knife, Lian Hongshang’s clear eyes became somewhat moist.

Li Chen was startled and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Lian Hongshang pressed her lips together, holding back her tears, and said, "Just kill me!"

"Uh?" Li Chen’s face was full of surprise; he didn’t expect that Lian Hongshang would be so struck by his words that she wanted to seek death.

Lian Hongshang gently bit her teeth and said, "According to the rules of the Witch God Sect, any man who removes the Divine Lady’s veil must either kill her or marry her. I’m no match for you and cannot kill you, nor do I wish to marry you. Seeing how you despise me, you surely won’t marry me either. So, just kill me—it’s the best choice and will be my ultimate fate!"

Holy smokes!

Li Chen’s expression turned to stone, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Miss, it’s the new century now, feudal superstitions are deadly!"

After speaking, he pointed first at Lian Hongshang, then at himself.

"Besides, it’s just the two of us here. If both of us keep quiet, who else would know?"

Lian Hongshang huffed angrily and said coldly, "The Witch God knows everything, even if we don’t tell, he would still know!"

Li Chen grew a bit frantic, becoming quite impatient, "This won’t work, that won’t work, then what do you suggest?"

"Either I kill you, or you kill me!" Lian Hongshang said through gritted teeth.

Li Chen responded with a wry smile, "Then it’s better if I kill you."

A complex glimmer flashed in Lian Hongshang’s eyes, she looked at Li Chen and then gently closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.

A sly smile flickered in Li Chen’s eyes; he moved closer, circling around Lian Hongshang and took a deep sniff, his expression incredibly intoxicated.

Lian Hongshang was startled and demanded urgently, "What are you doing?"

Li Chen grinned mischievously, and said, "You smell so good, it would be such a pity to just waste that."

"So what?" Lian Hongshang snorted haughtily.

Li Chen chuckled and wrapped his hands around her slender waist.

Lian Hongshang jumped in fear, crying out, "What are you trying to do?"

Li Chen nodded solemnly, saying, "Yes, I do!"

"Uh?" Lian Hongshang’s face was full of bewilderment, feeling her brain cells weren’t keeping up.

"Since you’re going to die anyway, it’d be such a waste just to die like this, might as well..."

"Li Chen, you..."

"What’s wrong with me? Your life is in my hands now, can’t I take a little interest back?"

While talking, Li Chen gently bit Lian Hongshang’s earlobe, kissing down her exquisitely sculpted cheek to her snow-white neck, planting a red strawberry there.

Lian Hongshang, having never experienced the affairs between men and women, and being a high goddess of the Witch God Sect, had every man kneeling before her, not even daring to look her in the eyes, let alone take liberties with her.

Suddenly, she even felt a bit aroused by Li Chen’s teasing.

Lian Hongshang bit her lips until they bled, and said with a mix of shame and anger: "Li Chen, you scoundrel, didn’t you just say...I was a rib, and you weren’t interested in me?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "But that’s what I said then. I want to change flavors now, what’s wrong with having a taste of ribs?"

After finishing his words, he pointed towards the infinite stars and the vast white snow, saying deeply, "Don’t you think, under this sky and above this snow, it’s delightful to have a nice meal of ribs?"
