Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 99 - 98: Who Gave You the Courage?

"Click!"

A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out suddenly!

The upstart’s nearly two-hundred-pound body rolled out like a meatball.

Li Chen dusted his hands and said coldly, "I really don’t know who gave you the courage to lay a hand on me, was it Liang Jingru?"

Then, he glanced at the heavily made-up woman with a playful smile and teased, "Such a big lump of meat, doing push-ups on you every day, don’t you feel crushed?"

Ye Chuxue tugged at Li Chen’s sleeve like a curious baby and asked, "What kind of push-ups?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and counter-queried, "What do you think?"

Ye Chuxue suddenly realized and rolled her eyes at Li Chen, her face blushing as she chided, "Rascal!"

Li Chen gently pinched Ye Chuxue’s exquisite face.

"Don’t speak like that to your future husband!"

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to the mall!"

As he spoke, he took Ye Chuxue’s little hand again and strode towards the mall ahead.

Ye Chuxue asked, "What are you going to buy?"

Li Chen smiled mysteriously, "You’ll know when we get there!"

Just then, a girl’s voice sounded.

"Chuxue, Li Chen, what are you doing here too?"

Ye Chuxue turned around to look, and excitedly called out, "Sun Ping!"

Sun Ping pointed at the boy next to her and introduced, "Chuxue, let me introduce you; this is my boyfriend, Zhao Jie, his family is in the hotel business!"

"Ah, not at all, just a five-star hotel!" Zhao Jie said with a humble smile.

However, he deliberately emphasized the words "five-star," flaunting his illustrious family background.

Sun Ping took out a gold-edged business card and handed it over with a proud expression, "This is my Zhao Jie’s business card; if you go for a meal, mention his name, and you can get a 20% discount!"

"Thank you!"

Ye Chuxue smiled and took the business card.

A turn around with a smile, so enchanting that all other women seemed colorless in comparison!

To describe Ye Chuxue’s smile with these two lines from Bai Juyi’s poem was more than apt.

Zhao Jie’s eyes lit up and he said gentlemanly, "Miss Ye, you’re Pingping’s friend, and thus, a friend of Zhao Jie too. Since we’ve met, let me give you a little gift!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a crystal pendant like magic and offered it to Ye Chuxue.

However, Ye Chuxue didn’t reach out to take it.

"Thank you, but the gift is too precious, please take it back!"

Zhao Jie was unconcerned, "It’s just tens of thousands, not even enough for my weekly allowance. You should accept it, consider it a token of my goodwill."

Seeing the persistent Zhao Jie, Li Chen started to feel displeased.

Dammit, digging at my wall is one thing, but to do it right in front of me, as if I don’t exist?

He glanced over with a smile and said, "Zhao Jie, right? Your piece of glass crystal, isn’t it worth just five bucks at a street stall?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhao Jie’s expression immediately turned sour.

"How can you speak like that? This is a genuine crystal diamond with an ISO 9001 certificate!"

Li Chen smiled lightly and snatched the crystal diamond from Zhao Jie’s hands.

"Do you believe that I can crush it to pieces with just two fingers?"

Zhao Jie sneered, "Brother, are you joking? Not to mention two fingers, even with a hammer, it’s impossible to smash it!"

Li Chen said nothing, but suddenly exerted strength in his two fingers.

The pressure became too much for the crystal diamond; it slowly twisted, deformed, and eventually turned into powder.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Jie and Sunx Ping’s faces were filled with disbelief.

"This, this, how is this possible?"

Li Chen blew on his fingers, casually smiled, and said, "Mr. Zhao, next time you give a girl a gift, you should at least buy a high-quality imitation that costs a hundred or so yuan. What’s this about getting inferior glass from a street stall?"

"You..."

Zhao Jie’s handsome face turned directly into the color of a pig’s liver. For a moment, he really didn’t know how to explain.

After all, in the face of hard evidence, even his eloquent excuses seemed pale and powerless.

Sunx Ping hurriedly tried to help her boyfriend out, saying, "Zhao Jie, he might have been momentarily shortsighted and bought a counterfeit. After all, there are many unscrupulous businesses nowadays, it’s not uncommon for them to substitute inferior products as good ones."

Ye Chuxue smiled faintly, indicating she could understand.

"Chuxue, let’s go upstairs!"

Having said that, Li Chen no longer paid any attention to Sunx Ping or Zhao Jie. Holding Ye Chuxue’s hand, he headed upstairs.

Watching the backs of Ye Chuxue and Li Chen holding hands, Zhao Jie was so angry he gnashed his teeth.

"Pingping, who is that guy? Do you know him?"

Sunx Ping nodded and said, "I know him, his name is Li Chen. In junior high, he was in the same class as me and Chuxue."

Zhao Jie squinted his eyes and asked, "What kind of business does Li Chen’s family do?"

Sunx Ping disdainfully said, "They don’t run any business, he’s from the countryside!"

Hearing that Li Chen was from the countryside, Zhao Chen’s sense of superiority was written all over his face.

He glanced at the mall’s directory sign out of the corner of his eye.

The second floor was the luxury goods area!

A country bumpkin like him, without a hint of self-awareness, actually dared to go to the luxury goods area upstairs, truly a case of asking for humiliation!

With a mindset of watching the excitement, Zhao Jie also went upstairs with Sunx Ping.

Just having reached the second floor, Li Chen and Ye Chuxue were stopped by a sales associate.

"Sir, this is the luxury goods area, there might not be anything you need here!"

Li Chen’s expression sank slightly, and he asked, "How do you know there’s nothing we need here?"

The sales associate smiled and reminded, "You are students, aren’t you? The goods here are not cheap, you might not be able to afford them."

Li Chen said, "That’s for us to worry about, not you!"

At this time, Zhao Jie and Sunx Ping also followed up.

Seeing Li Chen being stopped by the sales associate made Zhao Jie very happy, so he deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Pingping, didn’t you like that diamond necklace? I’ll buy it for you now!"

After speaking, he cast a provocative and smug glance at Li Chen.

The sales lady, upon hearing Zhao Jie’s words, scurried over to them and started recommending products.

Zhao Jie took a liking to a diamond necklace priced at sixty-eight thousand and asked the sales associate to take it out for Sunx Ping to wear.

Sunx Ping was so happy she couldn’t stop grinning and purposely ran over to Ye Chuxue, asking in a bragging tone if she looked pretty.

Zhao Jie looked at Li Chen and said, "Brother, this diamond necklace is only sixty-eight thousand. Don’t you want to buy one for Chuxue as well?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and retorted, unwilling to show weakness, "It’s too low-class, not worthy of Chuxue’s noble temperament!"

Zhao Jie scoffed, "Heh, you say a sixty-eight thousand diamond necklace is too low-class? Big talk!"

Sunx Ping laughed mockingly, filled with disdain, "What do you mean too low-class? I think someone just can’t afford it, so they say that as an excuse, right?"

"Ah, what kind of person is this. If you can’t eat the grapes, you say the grapes are sour!"

Just then, a very dazzling crystal diamond ring was displayed in the glass cabinet in front, drawing countless exclamations.

Zhao Jie raised his eyebrow and pointed to the display case at Li Chen, saying, "Brother, you weren’t impressed with that diamond necklace. How about that ’Eternal Love’ ring over there? Does it catch your eye?"

...

The answer to the riddle in the previous Chapter is: sound!

Enter the nuptial chamber, with no bed, you can only stand and go about your business!
