242: Chapter 241: There is a Beauty, Graceful and Lovely [First Update] 242: Chapter 241: There is a Beauty, Graceful and Lovely [First Update] Embarrassing!
Gongzi Yuu’s face was a portrait of awkwardness.
This was the first ti in his life that soone had chased him down to collect a debt.
There’s a saying that’s all too true, debts must be paid— it’s only natural.
And the person on the other side of the door was Immortal Master Li, who dared to slay even the Dragon Family Ancestor— not soone he could afford to provoke lightly.
If he really angered the other party, he feared his entire family would follow in the footsteps of the Long Family, ceasing to exist.
Gongzi Yuu carefully weighed his words, his face showing difficulty as he said, “Mr.
Li, you know that a hundred billion is not a small amount, don’t you think?”
Li Chen didn’t give Gongzi Yuu any face, saying, “No money to repay?
Well, then offer sothing else to settle the debt.
I’m not picky!”
Gongzi Yuu forced a smile and asked, “Oh, may I ask what Mr.
Li would like in exchange for the debt?”
Li Chen thought for a mont and said, “Considering it’s for your sake, little brother, I’ll take the loss.
You can transfer the ownership of Huayu Entertainnt under the Gongzi family na to to settle the debt!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the corners of Gongzi Yuu’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently.
Huayu Entertainnt dia, one of the leading giants in the dostic entertainnt industry.
Its market value was no less than three hundred billion, peaking at five hundred billion.
Li Chen was asking for the whole company right off the bat, and on top of that, he was doing him a ‘favor’ by taking a so-called loss.
Damn it, does it have to be this humiliating?
Gongzi Hong saw that Li Chen was set on targeting their Huayu Entertainnt and imdiately started cursing as he jumped to his feet.
“As long as I’m here, you can forget about laying a finger on Huayu Entertainnt!”
“And what are you, daring to make a scene in front of ?”
“Get out!”
As he spoke, Li Chen’s palm swirled with energy, and he tossed Gongzi Hong into Qiandao Lake as if picking up a dead dog.
Seeing Li Chen’s domineering approach, Gongzi Yuu couldn’t help the anger rising in his chest.
But when he thought of Li Chen’s legendary deeds, his anger began to dissipate significantly.
Although he had broken through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and beco an envied Innate Grandmaster, he had not lost his reason.
Even a Grandmaster like the Dragon Family Ancestor had been slaughtered by Li Chen.
With his current skill level, it was questionable whether he could last three moves against him.
In the current situation, there was only one strategy: Endure!
Upon this thought, Gongzi Yuu steadied his mind and bowed to Li Chen, saying, “Mr.
Li, this matter is of significant importance, and it’s not sothing I can decide on my own!”
Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, “Oh, so there’s nothing to discuss?”
Gongzi Yuu, worried about Li Chen getting angry, waved his hands again and again, saying, “It’s not like that.
Let discuss it with my family and get back to you, what do you think?”
Li Chen nodded and said, “Fine, I’ll give you 24 hours.
If by this ti tomorrow you haven’t given a satisfactory answer, then we will proceed as I have stated!”
After speaking, he picked up a wine glass, swirled the amber liquid inside, and said, “Your drinks are not bad, thanks for the hospitality, Brother Gongzi, I’ll take my leave!”
Seeing Li Chen was ready to leave, Gongzi Yuu politely tried to persuade him: “Mr.
Li, since you’re already here, why rush off?
Why not stay for a simple al?”
Li Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, “No need for such trouble.
If I stay, I’m afraid many here won’t have a good appetite!”
“Xue’er, let’s go!”
Ye Chuxue nodded gently and left the hall together with Li Chen.
Once outside and seeing no one around, she blinked curiously and asked, “Hey, Brother Chenn, how did that Gongzi Yuu owe you so much money?”
Li Chen replied, “He bought my pill!”
Ye Chuxue asked in surprise, “What kind of pill is so expensive that one costs a hundred billion?”
Li Chen took out a small jade bottle and said, “It’s this thing right here!”
Having said that, he took out a pill and tossed it into his mouth, leisurely chewing it.
“Tastes pretty good.
Xue’er, do you want one too?”
Ye Chuxue watched in so disbelief, a pill worth a hundred billion being treated as casually as jelly beans?
In fact, what Li Chen was eating was not the Gathering Peak Pill sold to Gongzi Yuu, but an ordinary Essence Building Pill.
After all, the Gathering Peak Pill is not that easy to refine.
Without treasures like the Nine Leaves Lotus, each one consud would be one less, and he was saving them to win people over.
Why would he waste them like this?
Ye Chuxue sniffed carefully and asked curiously, “Why does this sll so familiar?
I think I’ve had this before!”
Li Chen nodded and said, “I’ve refined so in a pressure cooker at ho once, but a certain little glutton stole them all!”
Ye Chuxue suddenly realized and exclaid, “No way, this thing’s worth hundreds of billions?”
Li Chen shook his head, “That’s not it.
The one worth hundreds of billions is the Gathering Peak Pill, which is an Eighth-grade Pill.
This is Essence Building Pill, one grade lower, a Ninth Grade Pill, with a market value of around two or three hundred thousand each!”
“Xue’er, want to give it a try?”
Ye Chuxue was about to reach out and take one when she suddenly rembered the embarrassing incident the other night and imdiately pulled her hand back as if electrocuted.
“Hmph, bad guy, you just want to bully again!”
Li Chen, puzzled by Ye Chuxue’s abnormal behavior, wondered where he had offended her again.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Ye Chuxue dragged Li Chen to the Twenty-four Bridge.
Twenty-four Bridge is a single-arch bridge, with its white jade railings flying elegantly like a ribbon, resembling neon lights lying upon the waves.
The surrounding scenery is delightful, full of flowers and willows, offering an overpowering beauty.
At night, the bright moonlight shimrs upon the river water under the bridge, creating a sparkling, glittering effect.
The flowers and willows on both banks follow the water, leading to pavilions reaching all the way to the mountains.
Ye Chuxue, with her childlike nature, was full of playfulness.
She jumped and hopped on the bridge, completely enjoying herself.
“Xue’er, be careful, don’t fall!”
Ye Chuxue made a cheeky face at Li Chen and said, “Hehe, then co catch !”
Li Chen, with no other choice, shook his head and in a flash, wrapped his arms around Ye Chuxue’s slender waist like a tender willow.
“That’s not fair, you’re cheating.
This doesn’t count?”
Ye Chuxue did not expect to be caught by Li Chen so quickly and imdiately stared at him with her sparkling, watery, round eyes, pouting a complaint.
Li Chen smiled mildly, “Xue’er, I’m using my skills to cheat.
Why wouldn’t it count?”
“I…”
Ye Chuxue was at a loss for words, completely outmatched by Li Chen’s quick wit.
Looking into Ye Chuxue’s watery eyes, Li Chen whispered a verse.
“There is a beauty so graceful and lovely.
eting her by chance fulfills my wishes.”
Ye Chuxue, well-versed in literature, naturally understood the aning of Li Chen’s verse.
These lines originated from the “Classic of Poetry·National Style” of the Pre-Qin era, aning: There is a beautiful girl, whose longing glance speaks volus.
To et her by fate today makes fall for her at first sight.
She is the girl who made him fall in love at first sight!
All of a sudden, Ye Chuxue felt incredibly happy.
To have such an outstanding man fall for her at first sight.
To win soone’s heart and never part even until white hair.
What a joyful and romantic thing that is.
Thinking of these things, she felt a surge of happiness and bashfully called out, “Li Chen!”
“Hmm?”
Li Chen looked down at Ye Chuxue in his arms.
Her cheeks were a rosy red, and her lips, like cherries, were slightly pursed as if about to drip water.
Moreover, her beautiful big eyes were already closed.
Her gently curled eyelashes, perhaps because of nervousness, were trembling slightly.
