Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1167 - 1164: Ji Lingling’s Jittery Heart

Since childhood, Ji Lingling’s little hand had never even been held by the opposite sex. Not to mention now, being held in a man’s arms without a thread of clothing, her face was flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

But she would occasionally glance at Li Chen with the corner of her eye.

At this moment, besides shyness, there was a hint of anticipation in her bright, water-like eyes.

Anticipating Li Chen to do something outrageous to her.

After effortlessly killing the Water Monster, Li Chen instinctively looked at Ji Lingling.

Just in time, they met each other’s gaze in mid-air.

As their eyes locked, Ji Lingling, like a thief, quickly averted her gaze, her delicate body trembling slightly, as if electrified.

And so, lying bare in Li Chen’s arms, she dared not move, tense to the extreme.

After an unclear amount of time had passed, Li Chen’s somewhat indifferent voice finally sounded leisurely.

"Are you alright?"

Ji Lingling immediately shook her head vigorously, saying she was fine.

However, she still dared not look into Li Chen’s eyes.

Suddenly, Ji Lingling felt a piece of clothing wrapping around her charming, curvaceous body.

Looking down, it was surprisingly a snow-white dress.

Li Chen said expressionlessly, "Put it on, don’t catch a cold!"

Ji Lingling was very curious about how Li Chen could carry women’s clothes with him.

But when she looked up and saw Li Chen’s face, full of restraint, she swallowed back her desire to ask questions, nodding obediently like a docile cat.

After dressing, Ji Lingling instinctively spun around. The skirt danced in the wind, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Even Li Chen, at this moment, paused in his gaze.

He wasn’t dazzled by Ji Lingling’s looks, but after putting on this dress, Ji Lingling looked quite similar to Ye Chuxue.

Actually, that white dress belonged to Ye Chuxue.

Li Chen and Ye Chuxue had just married when they were cruelly parted. Seeing Ji Lingling wearing her clothes naturally stirred his deep longing for his beloved wife.

Thus, for a moment, his expression became somewhat touching!

Ji Lingling noticed Li Chen staring directly at her, feeling a burst of secret joy.

You’ve finally noticed my charm!

"Do I look good?"

Ji Lingling mustered the courage to tentatively ask.

Her question brought Li Chen’s thoughts back to reality.

Ye Chuxue had once asked the same question!

Unfortunately, the person before him was Ji Lingling, whom he had only known for a day, not his beloved wife Xue’er.

Thus, he resumed his restrained expression, withdrew his gaze, and replied indifferently, "It’s okay!"

Always confident in her stunning appearance, Ji Lingling felt uncertainty arise upon hearing Li Chen’s perfunctory reply.

Okay?

What does that mean?

Could he have seen a girl prettier than me?

But no, he just recently descended the mountain, how could he meet someone prettier than me?

Ji Lingling, engrossed in her thoughts, didn’t see where she was going, and bumped into Li Chen.

"Ouch!"

She rubbed her slightly injured head and glanced at Li Chen, seeing his thoughtful demeanor, asked curiously, "Benefactor, what’s wrong?"

However, before Ji Lingling finished her question, Li Chen suddenly signaled her to be silent.

Despite not understanding what was happening, Ji Lingling obeyed Li Chen’s gesture, using her small hand to cover her mouth.

At this moment, a flaming, antlered Demon Beast darting swiftly towards them.

Frightened, Ji Lingling turned pale, barely having time to react, as a Sword Shadow pierced through the air beside her, striking the Demon Beast right on target.

The beast emitted a painful groan, collapsed heavily to the ground, convulsed twice, then remained motionless.

Obviously, it was dead!

Ji Lingling recognized the demon beast on the ground and exclaimed.

"That’s a Flame Lip Deer, a Fourth-level Fire Attribute Demon Beast. It’s intelligent and entirely valuable, very rare. If you took it to the workshops, it could at least fetch 3000 top-grade Spirit Stones!"

She danced around enthusiastically.

Despite being the Ji Family’s direct descendant, three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones were still a considerable amount.

Remember, the Ji Family’s annual expenses for its three hundred-plus members only amounted to three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

For an ordinary household of four, this amount could feed them for fifty years, or even a hundred if they’re frugal.

Li Chen watched the Flame Lip Deer for a moment, tapped it twice, and casually said, "Its meat is delicious; grilling it should taste nice!"

Upon hearing Li Chen wanted to roast the Flame Lip Deer worth three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, Ji Lingling halted her dancing, stunned on the spot.

"What, roast it to eat?"

Li Chen gave her a glance, casually replied, "Otherwise?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Exchanging a glance with Li Chen, Ji Lingling lowered her head, looked at the Flame Lip Deer, and regretfully said, "Alright, I just feel that eating it is wasteful; if taken to the workshops for sale, it could..."

Mid-sentence, she saw Li Chen staring at her expressionlessly, swallowed the rest of her words, appearing timid.

Li Chen brushed off his sleeve and said blandly, "You don’t even know what a treasure is."

Then he stopped paying attention to Ji Lingling, bending down to attend to the Flame Lip Deer.

Skilled at this task, he quickly set up a simple grill, tossing the entire Flame Lip Deer onto it for roasting.

In no time, the Flame Lip Deer turned golden and oily, exuding an inviting aroma that made people gulp.

Moments ago lamenting over its waste, Ji Lingling now stared in craving admiration, involuntarily crying out, "So fragrant!"

Li Chen noticed Ji Lingling resembling a little glutton, tore off the choicest part of the deer meat, and handed it to her.

"Eat!"

Ji Lingling initially maintained her dignity and grace, eating cautiously.

However, watching Li Chen eat heartily, she discarded her modesty and began devouring hungrily.

"Clip-clop, clip-clop!"

At this moment, clashing horses emerged from the forest, producing harsh neighing sounds.

Ji Lingling stopped her actions, held her breath, and listened closely for a moment. Confirming she hadn’t misheard, she nervously looked at Li Chen.

"Benefactor, it seems someone is coming!"
