My gorgeous wife Chapter 2504: Li Chen and Poem Shadow Dao Saint
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Jiankong Realm.
A large group of Palm Realm powerhouses were gathered together, frowning and discussing countermeasures. It was clear that although some were determined to fight to the death and coexist with Jianmu Universe, many others did not hold out much hope and were already considering their escape routes.
Jianmu Universe is not the Starry Universe, nor is it the Starry Universe.
The Starry Universe has no retreat, but for the powerhouses of Jianmu Universe, they still have a way out.
If worst comes to worst, they could leave Jianmu Universe to go to other Large and Small Universes. Though it would mean living under others, it is better than perishing with Jianmu Universe.
At this moment, the many Palm Realm powerhouses accumulated over countless years in Jianmu Universe were instead scattered like loose sand, each with their own thoughts.
This ‘peaceful coexistence’ model of Jianmu Universe has its benefits, but in critical moments like this, the disadvantages of this survival model are constantly being revealed.
Because they haven’t experienced the trials of the Starry Civilization cultivators, they lack the fearless spirit towards life and death.
“Lady Shi Yin has returned!”
Suddenly, someone shouted, and the group of powerhouses below all raised their heads at the same time.
However, when they saw that Poem Shadow Dao Saint was not alone and had others by her side, they couldn’t help but cast their attention towards them.
Among the crowd, those who recognized Li Chen had a drastic change in their expressions, while those who hadn’t participated in the siege before were curious, wondering why at this critical moment Poem Shadow Dao Saint would personally bring someone over.
After all, this white-haired youth was only in the Mid-Stage Origin Palm Realm, not even reaching the Late Stage. Why was he worth Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s personal invitation?
In the crowd, Tian Que, upon seeing Li Chen’s appearance, merely squinted his eyes slightly before losing interest.
He didn’t know where this outsider Li Chen came from, but for some reason, whenever he saw him, he couldn’t help but feel a strange unease.
His instinct as a Founding Realm powerhouse told him that this white-haired fellow was very dangerous!
But clearly, the opponent was only in the Palm Source Realm, even if he could withstand a few of his attacks, at best he was just a slightly stronger Dao Saint. Why did he feel dangerous?
However, being a Founding Realm powerhouse, Tian Que trusted his instincts and, after testing Li Chen a few times, decided to let it go.
Because to him, satisfying his curiosity just wasn’t worth it.
At such a realm, one can clearly analyze whether the gains and losses are worth the risk.
And clearly, targeting Li Chen was not worth it in his eyes.
“Poem Shadow Dao Saint!”
“Lady Shi Yin!”
With Li Chen in tow, Poem Shadow slowly descended, and the various powerhouses below all stood up to salute.
“No need for formalities, everyone is here at Jiankong Realm to resolve the current crisis. We are comrades facing a common adversity, so let’s dispense with the formalities,” Poem Shadow Dao Saint said as she waved her hand, then gestured towards Li Chen: “This is a Secular Taoist Friend I specially invited. He has unique insights about the Black Tide of Nihility, so I hope everyone gets along and does not create any more conflicts.”
“Secular Taoist Friend!”
One by one, the powerhouses came to greet Li Chen.
Of course, these were those who hadn’t participated in the earlier siege. Those who had, with injuries not yet healed, couldn’t bring themselves to apologize to Li Chen.
After all, they were all Palm Realm powerhouses and needed a bit of face.
Li Chen did not mind those people, casually found a place, and sat down.
Behind Li Chen, Yin Shuishui and Chen Shouchuan stood respectfully like two obedient children.
From Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s words, they had learned just how formidable this ‘immortal’ they had accidentally picked up was.
Once Li Chen and Poem Shadow Dao Saint were seated, the crowd began discussing again.
Listening to the various solutions proposed by the Palm Realm powerhouses, Li Chen let the words enter through one ear and exit the other. After rubbing his nose, he spoke to Poem Shadow Dao Saint beside him: “These two little ones appearing, that was your doing, right?”
Poem Shadow Dao Saint neither confirmed nor denied, but eventually nodded lightly.
“Looks like you’ve been investigating me for a while,” Li Chen shrugged.
“When you first arrived at Jianmu Universe, I noticed it, but I didn’t pay attention at the time,” Poem Shadow Dao Saint said softly. “Jianmu Universe is a peaceful and calm place, and it’s my homeland. I don’t want to bring too much trouble here. I wish for this serenity to continue.”
Li Chen raised an eyebrow; he didn’t fully agree with Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s viewpoint, but honestly, he had considerable respect for this woman who had maintained peace in the universe for countless years.
After all, wielding invincible power in the eyes of the world, yet not being consumed by such power, instead constantly seeking benefits for others—someone who gave without asking for returns—Li Chen might call her foolish, but he couldn’t deny that she was indeed worthy of respect.
Moreover, it was evident that although Poem Shadow Dao Saint was invincible in Jianmu Universe, she never used her power to establish a faction.
She didn’t even have many maids or guards, mostly acting alone.
Such a person… even Li Chen didn’t know how to describe her.
“If you can help our Jianmu Universe get through this crisis, this kindness, Poem Shadow will never forget. If you encounter any trouble, Jianmu Universe will certainly do its utmost to help,” Poem Shadow Dao Saint turned her head, fixing her eyes on Li Chen: “How does this deal sound to you?”
Li Chen’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke, “If I were to borrow people from your Jianmu Universe, would you lend them?”
“Borrow people? What kind of people? How many?” Poem Shadow frowned.
“Borrow Palm Realm powerhouses for war! As many as possible! And they might die!” Li Chen said expressionlessly.
Poem Shadow Dao Saint suddenly stood up, and her voice at that moment resonated in the ears of every Jianmu Universe powerhouse.
“If asked to die for Jianmu Universe, how many of you here are willing?!”
The powerhouses were silent for a while, then a figure stood up.
“I, Old Lei, am willing!” The speaker was surprisingly Leiyang Dao Saint, who had a good relationship with Li Chen before!
“Count me in!”
“I’m willing too!”
Among those present, more than half stood up.
Poem Shadow Dao Saint looked at Li Chen, and a heroic aura emanated from this extraordinary woman: “Secular Taoist Friend, these people, plus me, Poem Shadow, are they enough?!”
Li Chen swept his gaze over everyone and then stood up, nodding seriously.
“Deal!”
