Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 783 - 777 Almost Cursed Someone (4 more updates)

"Shut up!!!" Li Ping rebuked, her frown deepening behind her veil, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment.

Afterward, whatever Su Chen said, Li Ping ignored, appearing to be upset.

Before long.

The two returned to the Li family residence as dusk was approaching.

Upon arriving home, a maid approached them, "Miss, Young Master Su, the master has sent me to invite you to the hall."

Su Chen and Li Ping walked toward the hall.

Once there.

They saw a beautifully laid table filled with food and drinks.

Around the table, several people were gathered.

First off, naturally, was the head of the Li family, Li Mingyu, followed by the Great Elder Li Zhen, the Second Elder Li Tang, and others.

"Ping’er, Young boy Su, sit down! Let me introduce everyone!" Li Mingyu looked very happy and satisfied.

Su Chen then looked towards the Great Elder Li Zhen, "Great Elder, young lad Su Chen!"

He held some respect for Li Zhen, not for any other reason but that Li Zhen was the Seventh Princess’s grandfather, which alone was enough for Su Chen to show politeness.

"Haha, excellent!" Li Zhen laughed heartily, his gaze fixed on Su Chen with satisfaction.

He had already learned about the connection between his granddaughter and Su Chen, having known Su Chen’s name from news sent by his daughter Li Yun through the Xuanfeng Emperor’s spiritual message.

"Hmph!" The Second Elder Li Tang snorted, obviously displeased, but he held back; attending tonight’s dinner was akin to conceding.

It was inevitable.

By the afternoon, he had almost fully gauged Su Chen’s strength in the main hall.

Though reluctant to admit it, the truth was that despite Su Chen’s youth, at the age of twenty-three, his actual combat power might even surpass that of Li Tang!

Originally, his standing with Li Zhen in the family power dynamics had been closely matched.

Now, with his disciple Li Xing dead, it was like losing a right arm; Su Chen siding with Li Zhen was like adding an arm to Li Zhen, exacerbating the gap between them.

Moreover, the head of the family and the eldest daughter Li Ping’s satisfaction with Su Chen aligned them with Li Zhen as well.

How could he contend further? Li Tang, having lived long, was sharp; conceding defeat now meant no longer striving for supremacy but seeking to mend relationships. Tonight’s meal was a step in that direction.

In the next two or four hours, Su Chen spent time eating and drinking with Li Mingyu, Li Zhen, Li Tang, and others, consuming quite a lot of alcohol.

Two or four hours later.

Su Chen and Li Ping left.

Su Chen was somewhat tipsy.

Ordinary alcohol couldn’t intoxicate him, but spiritual wine certainly could.

Li Ping, walking beside Su Chen, was somewhat displeased with how much he drank, "Why did you drink so much?"

"What? You’re already starting to monitor my drinking before we’re married?" Su Chen joked, suddenly grabbing Li Ping’s hand again.

Li Ping’s body trembled slightly, she struggled briefly, then stopped, "Don’t spout nonsense, I just don’t like the smell of alcohol, and tonight you still need to sleep in my room."

"The same room, but not the same bed."

At mention of the bed, Li Ping’s face flushed, fleeting!!!

Tonight was the first time she would share a roof with a man, although not the same bed, yet she felt a bit nervous.

No matter how stoic she acted, at the end of the day, she was still a woman.

And a woman’s inherent shyness was unavoidable.

Soon.

The two entered the room.

Li Ping tossed a set of bedding to Su Chen, "You’ll sleep on the floor, just meditate, you don’t need to sleep, neither will I. I remind you, even though I agreed to share a room, you must not harbor any inappropriate thoughts, otherwise, I’ll have you thrown out of the Li family."

"Inappropriate thoughts? What are inappropriate thoughts? Ping’er, explain it to me," Su Chen teased.

"You..." Li Ping was even more infuriated, feeling that all the anger she had accumulated over her past twenty-six years combined wasn’t nearly as much as what she had experienced since she met Su Chen.

"I’m going to cultivate!" Li Ping knew that the more she interacted with Su Chen, the more this scoundrel would tease her. Thus, she stopped talking. She returned to her bed, sat cross-legged, and cultivated.

But.

Soon, she was irritated.

Because she found herself unable to calm her mind...

Every time she closed her eyes, she couldn’t help but think about what happened that day in the Vast Mountain Gorge.

Even if she tried to forcefully suppress those random thoughts, it did not work.

After ruminating for quite a while, Li Ping got even angrier—she felt that it was all Su Chen’s fault!!!

If it weren’t for Su Chen...

She opened her eyes.

She looked at Su Chen.

At this moment, Su Chen was seemingly deeply engrossed in his cultivation; in fact, he wasn’t cultivating, but was using the Temporal Heavenly Dao to nurture Dragon Tooth Grass inside his Azure Mysterious Ring.

"This scoundrel, he is peacefully cultivating!" Li Ping cursed in her mind. As she continued staring at Su Chen, she felt like crying. Her stunning face turned red because as she stared, all the events that had occurred that day in Vast Mountain seemed to vividly replay in front of her eyes, exceedingly clearly.

Those things she had forcibly tried to forget over the past few months were now even more deeply ingrained.

Time hurriedly passed by.

All night.

Li Ping did not sleep, nor did she cultivate.

In her life, she had just spent such a boring night staring at someone.

After dawn, Su Chen opened his eyes and glanced at Li Ping, "Ping’er, how did you sleep last night?"

Li Ping almost exploded in anger, wanting to draw her sword.

She ignored Su Chen!

"Go get me some water for washing my face and also breakfast," Su Chen nonchalantly said.

He had made an agreement with Li Ping—he would teach her cultivation, and she would serve him. It couldn’t be for naught, serving Li Ping, an icy beauty like this, the opportunity was rare. Once this chance was missed, it wouldn’t come again; he couldn’t afford to waste it.

"You..." Li Ping was almost on the verge of cursing. Her emotions rarely fluctuated this intensely!!!

"Hurry up! What? Wanting to go back on your word?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

Li Ping was silent, then got up. Although she desperately wanted to stab Su Chen twice, considering the agreement she had with Su Chen, and how he had helped her with the Divine Blood Sword the day before, she forcefully held back.

Soon.

Li Ping brought the washing water and breakfast.

It was also the first time in her life she was doing such a thing.

Following that, under Li Ping’s service, Su Chen finished washing up and had his breakfast.

Even though Li Ping’s service was far from that of a maid, it was still comforting!

"Right, first thing in the morning, make me a cup of tea and then give me a shoulder massage!" Su Chen suddenly added.

Li Ping stared fiercely at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes almost murderous.

"Why look at me like that? It’s frightening," Su Chen weirdly asked.

Li Ping continued her silence!

But, she still made tea for Su Chen and massaged his shoulders.

An entire morning passed like this.

"Can you continue teaching me the Divine Blood Sword now?" Finally, Li Ping spoke up.

"No!" Su Chen decisively shook his head.
