My gorgeous wife Chapter 2204 - 2172: Harmony Brings Wealth
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Li Chen was no longer the fledgling boy he once was.
Since ascending to the Heaven Realm, twenty years of adventuring, twenty years of near-death experiences, and twenty years of slaughter and evasion have endowed Li Chen with an air of strength he never had before; more than that, he had gained a composure and stability.
Likewise, Li Chen’s perspective is vastly different from when he was merely a junior martial artist in the Lower Realm.
Seeing Lieu Zhanxiao transformed into this Great Sword again, Li Chen could vaguely discern some peculiarities.
Lieu Zhanxiao remained Lieu Zhanxiao.
However, Lieu Zhanxiao had indeed become this sword now.
Li Chen vaguely felt that Lieu Zhanxiao’s transformation into a sword was akin to the Blood Saint’s forging a knife from his body.
However, it was evident that Lieu Zhanxiao did not possess the cultivation of the Blood Saint.
After becoming a sword, all Lieu Zhanxiao could do was resign himself to fate.
After the Blood Saint forged a knife from his body, he could still extract his remnant soul attached to the Red Moon, condense it into a will, and guard the top of the Ancient Tower for countless years. But clearly, Lieu Zhanxiao did not have this ability.
It could be said that for Lieu Zhanxiao to revive as an Artifact Spirit from the Great Sword was incredibly lucky.
"Perhaps, it’s not just luck," Li Chen’s eyes flashed as he seemed to recall something.
On Earth, there was still a veteran of the Palm Realm.
Lieu Zhanxiao’s rebirth might just be related to that fellow.
No matter what, seeing Lieu Zhanxiao alive made Li Chen extremely happy.
"Back then, I thought you were quite exceptional, sure to cause trouble in the Heaven Realm." Lieu Zhanxiao looked at Li Chen, unable to help feeling sentimental: "But I didn’t expect you, little guy, to remain so fierce even amidst the Starry Sky."
"Luck, just luck." Li Chen rubbed his head and smiled, but there was undeniable pride in his smile.
Li Changcun and Lieu Zhanxiao exchanged a look: "Why do I suddenly feel like beating this kid up?"
"Coincidentally, I feel the same."
These adversaries surprisingly shared a rare moment of agreement.
Li Chen laughed awkwardly and quickly restrained himself.
Li Chen’s expressions were invisible to outsiders.
Only around those closest to him would Li Chen occasionally reveal some of his true emotions.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, Li Chen fully acknowledged the presence of Li Changcun and Lieu Zhanxiao.
"So how do you plan to deal with that Old Devil?" Lieu Zhanxiao asked Li Chen directly, without reservation.
"Which one? Oh, you mean the one we caught outside earlier; you don’t need to worry about him, I have a way to handle it." Li Chen said with a smiling face.
For some reason, seeing Li Chen smile, Lieu Zhanxiao couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was going to be unlucky again.
This kid was always gallant and generous back then.
But Lieu Zhanxiao had to admit, this kid could be rather insidious at times.
In the past, when Lieu Zhanxiao targeted Li Chen several times, he eventually realized that it seemed like he was the one who suffered from each encounter.
Li Changcun mostly gathered information about Li Chen from others, so his understanding was not as clear as Lieu Zhanxiao’s; he only warned: "Be careful, don’t fall victim to a trap."
"These guys expecting me to fall for a trap? Impossible." Li Chen chuckled.
Soon, the three gathered together, whispering amongst themselves; whatever they discussed led their faces to show a mischievous smile.
"Hehehe..."
Especially Li Chen and Li Changcun, proving without a doubt that they were father and son, for their sly expressions were nearly identical.
...
"Why do I feel a chill?" On the other side, a Daoist Lord of the Immortal Domain suddenly shivered and murmured.
"Me too, but it’s not possible. Even though our cultivation is sealed and the Starry Sky is cold, with our physical bodies, this chill shouldn’t be significant, right?" Beside him, another Supreme God mumbled.
"Well, it’s settled!" On the other side, Lin Yi finally reached an agreement with the people of the Three Realms, and both Lin Yi and the three Heavenly Sovereigns showed satisfied expressions.
Meanwhile, the Ninth Order Experts of the Immortal, God, and Demon Realms wore constipation-like expressions as if they had swallowed a dead child.
Couldn’t allow the Heaven Realm to be dissatisfied!
Did they not see Lord Red Dust Celestial Venerable chatting just a short distance away?
This venerable could single-handedly defeat all their terrifying existences!
Moreover, their cultivation was sealed now; even if they wished to be playful, the nearby Heaven Realm experts in their prime would beat them beyond recognition.
"Um... King Yilin." At this time, a Supreme God squeezed out a smile as he looked at Lin Yi, requesting: "Could we ask Lord Red Dust Celestial Venerable to lift the seal for us now? Not for everyone, just one person from each realm, so they can lead us away."
The people of the Three Realms, who were arrogant before, had lost their previous superiority.
Recently, they deemed the Heaven Realm nothing more than fish on their chopping board; now it seemed this was no mere fish!
This was a colossal ancient beast lying still, mouth agape, waiting for them to deliver themselves!
Lin Yi turned his head, noticing the Supreme God’s frightened face, and smiled, looking toward his side.
Beside Lin Yi, Li Chen happened to turn his head too and met her gaze.
Their gaze exchanged a wave of understanding, instantly revealing their thoughts to one another.
This was the unspoken understanding between a couple.
"Ahem!" Li Chen coughed twice, preparing to speak, but noticed that a whole group of Three Realms experts stepped back several paces during his cough.
A vein pulsed on Li Chen’s forehead, Am I really that intimidating?
Quickly diverting his attention to his own matters, Li Chen didn’t care about these trivial details.
"Since the negotiations regarding the Four Realms have concluded, now it’s time to discuss our personal grudges." Li Chen said warmly, smiling.
In the distance amidst the Starry Sky, Netherworld and Bai Shi stood side by side; although they couldn’t hear what was being discussed, they could clearly see the situation.
Seeing Li Chen’s smile made them subconsciously exchange a glance.
Netherworld spoke: "Dad has another evil plan again."
Bai Shi nodded in agreement.
Looking at the terrified expressions resembling sheep awaiting slaughter among the Three Realms experts, Li Chen spoke with a benevolent smile: "Since so many of you attacked me earlier, shouldn’t you compensate for mental distress or something?"
Li Chen tried to soften his tone, attempting to appear as amiable as possible.
Why?
Civility brings wealth, doesn’t it?
