My gorgeous wife Chapter 2376 - 2344: Truly Exciting

Dao Saint Poem Shadow seemed to still have other things to deal with, didn’t think too much, turned around and left directly.

As for this somewhat unfamiliar white‑haired youth, in her eyes, as long as they were within the Jianmu Universe, there would always be a chance to meet again.

Right now, she had more important matters to handle.

Leaving the Purple Fir Continent, a faint frown appeared on Dao Saint Poem Shadow’s exquisite face: "Strange, logically it hasn’t been that long, there should still be some remnant aura left behind by Jian Ancestor’s alter ego. Why can’t I find even a trace now?"

She shook her head, stopped lingering, and began to continue searching plane by plane.

Compared to the matter at hand, what just happened was nothing more than a trivial little episode.

On the Purple Fir Continent’s side, after Dao Saint Poem Shadow departed, the many Palm Realm powerhouses all let out a sigh of relief.

Although they found it strange that Dao Saint Poem Shadow hadn’t blamed them, having no punishment was always a good thing, so they stopped overthinking it.

"Master really is master. Even after not speaking for so many years, once you adapt a bit, this kind of ability is still peerless under heaven." Red Moon said with genuine admiration.

The Seven Realms Tome was also so shocked it had nothing to say.

This works too?

They’d originally thought it was an unresolvable great crisis, but who would have thought this guy settled it with just a few sentences.

Because once Dao Saint Poem Shadow started digging into it, Li Chen’s identity couldn’t withstand investigation and would inevitably be exposed.

And with Li Chen’s current Cultivation and strength, once exposed, their fate would no longer be in their own hands.

Yet even the Seven Realms Tome hadn’t expected that this guy would send that Dao Saint, terrifying to the extreme, away with just a few words.

The Seven Realms Tome could clearly sense that that female Dao Saint was absolutely stronger than that Peak Dao Saint of the Yu Clan who’d once chased Li Chen in the Cosmic Ruins. It was quite possible that she already had half a foot stepped over the threshold of the Founding Realm.

And yet the final outcome was so absurd it made one want to cry and laugh at the same time.

Even the Seven Realms Tome, which could stay calm even facing Black Qi, couldn’t help but feel a rare surge of admiration toward Li Chen.

At this moment, that Stout Dao Saint strode toward Li Chen.

Li Chen’s gaze had still been somewhat wary, but seeing that the other party didn’t seem to harbor any hostility now, he finally relaxed a little.

Just then, that Stout Dao Saint looked at Li Chen with respect in his eyes and said loudly, "Brother, I was in the wrong just now. Old Lei here offers you an apology."

As he spoke, that Stout Dao Saint cupped his fists and bowed to Li Chen.

For a Dao Saint Level existence, this was already quite a great courtesy.

Even when facing Dao Saint Poem Shadow, the other Dao Saint powerhouses only nodded slightly in salute. From this it was clear that this Stout Dao Saint really was putting down his pride to apologize.

"I’m called Leiyang, Old Lei, and my holy title’s the same. Brother, if you don’t mind, you can just call me Old Lei as well." The Stout Dao Saint saw Li Chen’s expression relax, then smiled and said, "Say no more, just that speech you gave Dao Saint Poem Shadow just now, Old Lei here has nothing but a big‑capital ’服’ for you. Facing a hero like you, Old Lei admits defeat this time. I did take a hit from you earlier, but after all, I was the one who made the first move."

"How about this." With that, Dao Saint Leiyang actually spread both hands, gritted his teeth and said, "You give me one too, count it as paying back my rudeness just now. Of course, prerequisite is you don’t take my little life. As for anything else, however heavy the injury, Old Lei will take it!"

Hearing this, Li Chen hurriedly shook his head. "Forget it."

"Just like I said before: people don’t offend me, I don’t offend people. Since Dao Saint Leiyang no longer bears hostility toward me, I naturally won’t make another move against you either. For today... let’s leave it at that." Li Chen sighed softly.

"This..." Dao Saint Leiyang was stunned.

He’d thought that judging from this man’s ’strike to kill at first meeting’ temperament, he’d definitely give him one, but unexpectedly the other party just let it go.

"Alright! Then I won’t waste words." Dao Saint Leiyang was clearly a forthright character and didn’t nitpick it: "But Brother, this favor, Old Lei will remember. If in future there’s anything Old Lei can help with, just say the word!"

"Good!" Li Chen also broke into a smile and started chatting with Dao Saint Leiyang, with a kind of ’hate to have met so late’ feeling.

The Demon Saint of Qingqiu watched from the side, feeling more than a little sour.

If you’d shown off this hard earlier, I would’ve treated you like a brother too.

But he was still a Dao Saint, and at a moment like this he definitely wouldn’t butt in. That would only be even more embarrassing, because with Leiyang Dao Saint’s personality, he absolutely wouldn’t give him any face.

"Since that’s the case, next time if we have the chance, we’ll have a proper drink, Old Lei. Right now I still have some matters to deal with, so I can’t keep you company." Li Chen said with a laugh.

He swept his gaze around them and spoke loudly, "I imagine everyone came here because you noticed something as well."

"Here, I, Red Dust, will clarify for everyone: the source of that strange fragrance is indeed a Treasure."

As he spoke, Li Chen took out that half‑nail‑sized Yu Hun Xiang.

"I found this thing while exploring beyond the Universe, a rare Exotic Treasure, suspected to be the remnant of a Supreme Treasure left from a Civilization Era." Li Chen said without the slightest concealment, "Since we’re all compatriots of the Jianmu Universe, I can’t rightly keep it all to myself."

With that, Li Chen used a fingernail to shave away half of that half‑nail‑sized Yu Hun Xiang.

"I’ll keep half of this thing. The rest, I’ll give to everyone as a meeting gift." Li Chen said generously.

"This thing..."

"Such a precious object, and this Dust Saint of the Mundane World actually took it out?"

"Beyond the Universe? That place is perilous with every step, he must have risked his life to obtain it. And yet such a precious item, Dust Saint of the Mundane World is willing to share it with us..."

A bunch of Heaven and Earth Realm experts, and even Dao Saint Leiyang and the Demon Saint of Qingqiu, all felt their cheeks heat up a little.

What had they been about to do just now?

Scheme against such a Dao Saint who’s so righteous and selfless?

This is the truly unparalleled and just Dao Saint of the Jianmu Universe!

Compared to him, they felt they practically had nowhere to hide in shame.

"I won’t stand on ceremony." Dao Saint Leiyang looked at Li Chen and said solemnly, "Brother Red Dust, I’ll remember this favor. I can feel that this thing is of tremendous benefit to Cultivation. If Old Lei gains any insight from it this time, I’ll owe you a favor as great as the heavens. From now on, Brother Red Dust’s business is Old Lei’s business!"

Li Chen nodded with a smile. "There isn’t much of it, so forgive me for being selfish—I still need to keep some for my own Cultivation."

"Dust Saint of the Mundane World, you’re too polite."

"We juniors will forever remember the grace of Hong Chen Predecessor’s preaching today!" One Heaven and Earth Realm Ancient Ancestor after another started flattering him.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t linger any longer. Everyone, I’ll take my leave." Li Chen waved his hand as he spoke.

"We respectfully see off the Dust Saint of the Mundane World!"

Li Chen nodded, silently intoned once, ’Imperial Soul—Divine Transformation’, and, taking Red Moon, shifted to a place outside everyone’s sight. Then he had Red Moon drag him along as they bolted.

—Finish pretending and then run, this is fucking thrilling.
