Chapter 88
In the blink of an eye, half an afternoon and a night had passed. Xiao Chen had finally absorbed all the Desolation Energy in the Desolation Yuan Elixir.
The next morning, Xiao Chen, who had been meditating, slowly opened his tightly shut eyes. In an instant, a bright light burst out from between his eyes. His pitch-black pupils shone like the stars in the deep sky, sparkling brightly.
“Phew —”
A long and deep breathing sound came from Xiao Chen’s mouth and nose. At the same time, a ball of pale yellow turbid gas came out. It was obvious that the gas contained a lot of impurities that Xiao Chen’s body excreted.
Middle stage of White Tiger Realm Stage 3!
Xiao Chen sensed his current cultivation level and revealed a smile on his cold face. The smile remained for a moment before disappearing. He returned to his original indifference. He felt that the Grade 5 Desolation Yuan Elixir was indeed not bad.
Although it was not bad, any elixir that was consumed once would have its effects halved the second time. The more times it was consumed, the worse the effect would be. In the end, the effect would be negligible.
After consuming three Grade 5 Desolation Yuan Elixirs, the effect of one more would be almost negligible. This was also the reason why Grandma Liu only gave three Grade 5 Desolation Yuan Elixirs to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen quickly got up and picked up the wooden sword that was leaning on the side of the bed. He then walked down the first floor to the courtyard and started to practice his swordsmanship to strengthen his body.
The pothole in the courtyard that was left from yesterday’s battle had been filled by the servants of the Sha family. Of course, the four guards that were knocked out by Xiao Chen had also been taken away.
“He!
Ha! ”
After yesterday’s battle and consuming a Grade 5 Desolation Yuan Elixir, Xiao Chen’s strength had become stronger. He felt his body full of energy, especially the muscles in his arms that contained explosive power. It was easy for him to wield the wooden sword that weighed a few hundred kilograms.
After practicing for two hours, Xiao Chen walked into the bathroom, drenched in sweat. After a while, Xiao Chen walked out of the bathroom with a refreshed face and dressed neatly. As soon as he looked up, his eyes met with a pair of beautiful eyes that were filled with a gentle smile.
The owner of this pair of eyes was naturally Dongfang Qingwu. At this moment, besides her pure and beautiful temperament, Dongfang Qingwu looked stunning. She seemed to have put on some light makeup. This light makeup made her fairy-like face look a little more beautiful. She was extremely beautiful and had already surpassed Sha Buyu, Liu Ruyue, Yue Mei ‘er, and even Su Qingyi.
If Su Qingyi was a daughter of the heavens, then Dongfang Qingwu would be a combination of a fairy and an elf. One was intelligent and beautiful, while the other was pure and lively.
Both of them were peerless beauties that could bring calamity to a country and its people. Any normal man would go crazy for them.
Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu stared at each other for a moment. He couldn’t take it anymore and immediately looked away. He wanted to go back to his room to rest.
“Xiao Chen, breakfast is ready. Please enjoy.”
Dongfang Qingwu saw that Xiao Chen’s expression was a little unnatural. She understood and maintained her smile. She opened her red lips and called out to Xiao Chen gently.
She changed the way she addressed Xiao Chen. She called Xiao Chen directly without adding the word ‘Young Master’. She noticed that Xiao Chen was a little disgusted with the word ‘Young Master’. Therefore, she boldly called out to Xiao Chen by his name while praying that she wouldn’t anger Xiao Chen.
“Eh?”
When Xiao Chen heard how Dongfang Qingwu addressed him intimately, he was slightly startled. Then, his cold expression naturally softened. He stopped and slowly turned around. He followed Dongfang Qingwu’s gaze.
As expected!
There was some food on the stone table under a big tree in the courtyard. There wasn’t much food. There was rice, dessert, fragrant soup, and barbecued meat.
Seeing Dongfang Qingwu’s expectant gaze, Xiao Chen, who originally wanted to refuse, thought that Dongfang Qingwu would leave in three days. Therefore, he walked over and sat on the stone bench. He directly grabbed a piece of barbecued meat and wolfed it down. He didn’t have a trace of the hypocrisy of a Young Master.
When Dongfang Qingwu saw Xiao Chen gobbling down the breakfast that she personally made, the smile on her face got even more radiant. Her heart was even more reluctant to part with Xiao Chen.
In just a short period of less than two days, many ‘accidents’ had happened between the two of them. Dongfang Qingwu was a young lady who had never experienced love before. She began to have her first awakening of love and had a certain understanding of the love between a man and a woman. Xiao Chen’s cold appearance and fiery heart had moved her heart. She had sunk in, sunk in …
She wasn’t sure if this was the rumored love. She only knew that if she were to leave Xiao Chen now, she would feel terrible and her heart would ache.
She might want to stay and accompany Xiao Chen, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t be too selfish. If she stayed, she would continue to give Xiao Chen a lot of trouble. She might even threaten Xiao Chen’s life.
After yesterday’s incident, she knew that Xiao Chen was just a young master of the Sha Clan. His status wasn’t stable, and he was ostracized by countless members of the Sha Clan.
“You come over and eat, too.” Xiao Chen, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly spoke indifferently.
He didn’t raise his head and was still wolfing down his food. However, he only ate the roasted meat and didn’t touch the other food. It was as though he had a special liking for roasted meat. He was just like a villager in the mountains and not a top-notch young master.
“Ah?
I … am not hungry. You can eat your fill. ”
Xiao Chen’s words awakened Dongfang Qingwu who was in a trance. Dongfang Qingwu was slightly startled and immediately understood. Her heart was overwhelmed with joy. She was so excited that her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn’t even speak fluently.
When Xiao Chen heard Dongfang Qingwu’s strange reply, he didn’t raise his head. Instead, he sped up his food. After a while, a plate of fragrant roasted meat was completely devoured by his stomach.
After he finished eating, he felt that it was a little delicious. Therefore, he picked up the bowl of fragrant soup and drank it in one gulp. He then wiped his lips with his hand and burped in satisfaction. He stood up and didn’t even look at Dongfang Qingwu and walked straight into the house.
Dongfang Qingwu saw that Xiao Chen walked into the house without saying a word. She didn’t mind. Instead, she was very happy because she saw that Xiao Chen was enjoying his meal. Although he didn’t finish everything, she was already very happy.
Therefore, she began to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
“Young Master Xiao Chen!
Subordinate Kill Ripper requests an audience! ”
Right at this moment, the loud and respectful voice of Kill Ripper came from outside the courtyard, attracting the attention of the two people in the courtyard.
Xiao Chen stopped his feet that were about to step into the house. He turned around and frowned slightly. In a deep voice, he said, “Senior Kill, come in.”
A moment later, Kill Ruinous Killer hurriedly walked into the courtyard. His gaze swept over Dongfang Qing Wu, who was cleaning the dishes at the side of the courtyard. Although he was reluctant to part with her, his eyes did not dare to look at her for too long.
As the leader of the guards, he naturally knew that Xiao Chen had fought against three of the Sha family’s top young masters for Dongfang Qingwu. In the end, even the Sha family’s patriarch and three elders were alarmed. He didn’t dare to have any improper thoughts towards Dongfang Qingwu. Otherwise, if he angered Xiao Chen, his head might not be able to keep. Even if he could keep his head, his position in the Sha family’s upper echelon would immediately be gone.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Is the Sha family looking for me?” Xiao Chen saw that Kill Ripper’s expression was a little serious, so he asked indifferently.
When Kill Ripper heard Xiao Chen’s question, he hurriedly collected his thoughts and said respectfully, “Young Master Xiao Chen, the young master of the Ji family, Ji Haoyue, sent a message to invite all the young masters of the Sha family to be guests at the Ji family. Would you like to go?”
“The young master of the Ji family?
Ji Haoyue?
Invite me to be a guest? “Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. Then, his expression became strange. He thought to himself, Inviting my enemy to a banquet?
Did Ji Haoyue’s head get kicked by a donkey?
