Chapter 1653: Chapter 1624: Father and Son
“Thud!”
A beam of light flashed across the sky, and two figures were forcibly ejected from the air by a powerful force, crashing heavily onto the ground.
At the sa ti, there was also a strange flash of light passing over the feet of one of the figures.
Li Chen got up from the ground with a grim face, ignoring Bai Shi who had already fainted, and shouted, “Get out here!”
His voice was filled with strong anger and resentnt.
However, there was no response, as if he was speaking to the air.
“Not coming out? Then can you tell , what does this an?!”
“What it ans is saving your life.” Primordial Heavy Water finally spoke, sneering, “Kid, don’t be ungrateful. The boots saved you! It’s the first ti I’ve seen soone being saved and then turning around to bla the saviors.”
“Save ?!” Li Chen retorted angrily, “I don’t need you to save ! If you save , what about Youxue?! What if that person turns back to chase her and she gets caught?!”
“Have you thought about what would happen to us if you died?” Primordial Heavy Water said quietly.
The other Supre Treasures didn’t speak at this mont, including the ones most inclined towards Li Chen, Red Moon and the Heavenly Dao Pearl, and just watched as Primordial Heavy Water and Li Chen argued.
“I…” Li Chen hesitated for a mont, and in the end, his montum weakened.
He knew that the decision made by the Five Elents Boots had indeed saved his and Bai Shi’s lives.
“Do you think you are qualified to stand against a Kuotian Realm King with your little strength?” Primordial Heavy Water continued sharply, “I’m telling you, stop dreaming!”
“Little Bai may be a king, but he’s only at the Fifth Rank, far from comparable to a Sixth Rank Kuotian Realm King! You have to understand, even typical Kuotian Realm Kings would make a Salt Heaven Realm powerhouse turn and flee. The one we just encountered is clearly stronger among Kuotian Realm Kings, and what qualification do you have to oppose him?”
“Don’t think we don’t know your intention; you wanted to hold him off to let your sister escape, right? But don’t you think that’s too naive? If he really wanted to kill you, one or two moves would be enough. Do you really think you could hold off a Kuotian Realm King?”
Every word from Primordial Heavy Water was like a knife, deeply cutting into Li Chen’s heart, causing intense pain in his chest, rendering him speechless.
He had nothing to refute because everything Primordial Heavy Water said was true.
“Hmm…” At this mont, Bai Shi also shook his head and got up from the ground.
“Boss… huh, where is this? Did we get out of the Moonlight Forest?” Bai Shi looked around curiously at the surrounding wasteland, which had so vegetation but was no longer the endless greenery of the Moonlight Forest.
“Boss is amazing, so you were testing , huh? I knew you wouldn’t take along to get killed.” Bai Shi scratched his head and grinned foolishly.
Li Chen’s expression was complicated, as he had originally intended to pull Bai Shi along with him to their deaths.
Of course, he wasn’t going to say that aloud.
He nodded slightly and forced a smile, “We have already left the Moonlight Forest. It’s all good now.”
“That’s great, haha, Old Bai may not fear death, but I definitely don’t want to die. There are so many things in the world I haven’t seen yet.” Bai Shi smacked his lips, took out a Spirit Fruit, and started munching on it while looking around at the unfamiliar world.
“I wonder how Youxue is doing now.” Li Chen dared not voice this thought, only muttering it internally.
“Are you a pig?” Primordial Heavy Water’s blunt voice sounded again, “Don’t you have a ssage Jade Slip? By now, that girl should’ve definitely undone the seal, don’t tell you don’t use a ssage Jade Slip at all. It’s like you are from so backwoods, not at all like a Heavenly Realm person.”
Li Chen scratched his head; he really wasn’t a Heavenly Realm person. To be precise, he did co from so “backwoods”, and he rarely used the ssage Jade Slip, tossing it in the ring and ignoring it. If it weren’t for Primordial Heavy Water’s reminder, he might not have thought of it.
However, as soon as he took out the ssage Jade Slip, it began to flash urgently; apparently, Li Youxue had been trying to contact him, but he simply hadn’t noticed.
Feeling guilty, Li Chen tried to contact Li Youxue imdiately.
Almost instantly, he received a reply from Li Youxue, bringing joy to his heart.
“Youxue, are you okay? Did you get out of the Moonlight Forest? Are you hurt? Is Xuan Ming with you?”
“Bro! Could you ask fewer questions at once? How am I supposed to answer that?” Li Youxue replied with a roll of her eyes.
“Uh.” Hearing Li Youxue’s tone, Li Chen knew she was fine and began to relax, scratching his head, “You go first.”
“I’m fine, and Xuan Ming is safe too.”
“That’s good.” Li Chen sighed in relief.
“Brother.”
“Hmm?”
“I t Dad.”
Li Chen fell silent.
On the other side, seeing Li Chen fall silent, Li Youxue also quieted down, unsure of how Li Chen felt about their father.
Li Chen himself wasn’t sure how he felt about Li Changcun. But to say he didn’t want to et him would be a lie, yet he didn’t know how he should face him. So he kept deliberately avoiding the issue.
However, Li Chen could confirm that if Li Youxue was really with him, then she would be safe.
“Let talk to him.” Li Changcun, standing nearby, sighed and spoke.
Li Youxue handed the Jade Slip to Li Changcun.
“Third brother.”
“…”
“You must be the third brother. Coming up from Earth, a place lacking in spiritual energy, you must have had a tough ti.”
“…”
“Co back ho. Our family should reunite.” Li Changcun said with so sentint.
“How’s mom?” Li Chen spoke for the first ti.
“Your first question is about her? Aren’t you interested in talking to ?”
Li Chen said nothing.
“She… has so things to handle and can’t return just yet.” Li Changcun’s tone was sowhat complex, but based on Li Chen’s two words, he was about eighty percent certain of Li Chen’s identity.
“We’ll see.” Li Chen responded with three words, then ended the conversation and tossed the Jade Slip back into the ring.
“This kid…” Holding the Jade Slip, Li Changcun felt a mix of amusent and exasperation, “Truly my son, that temper is just like mine.”
