"Hmph, shameless scoundrel!"
Just as Zhao Yuqing walked past, a voice filled with spite came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads, only to see a girl standing gracefully alone, breathtakingly beautiful, glaring at Li Chen with wide almond-shaped eyes.
"Is this the first beauty of the Cultivation Realm, Ling Shuanghua?"
Someone recognized her and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, the newcomer was Ling Shuanghua.
At the moment, she was wearing a waist-cinched ivory long dress, standing elegantly like a secluded orchid in a valley. Her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded over her shoulders, dancing with the gentle breeze. The warm sunlight fell upon her skin, which was white as snow, shining brightly.
Beautiful!
Truly beautiful!
Beauty that takes one's breath away!
However, a closer look would reveal her furious expression, glaring intensely at Li Chen below, as if ready to pounce and tear him apart.
Li Chen shivered involuntarily, uncertain whether out of guilt or some other reason, he dared not meet this little young lady's gaze.
No matter what, he had slept with her, although there were reasons, it was not honorable.
The onlookers were clueless and all turned their gaze towards Li Chen.
Lian Hongshang did the same.
Because Li Chen had not mentioned a word about Ling Shuanghua to her, she also knew nothing about it.
"Haha, someone really is capable. Just after provoking the fairy of Moon God Palace, now he's gone to provoke the beloved girl of Cloud Sea Sect. Such romantic luck, even I, a little girl, can't help but envy!"
Lian Hongshang spoke with a playful tone, laughing, although her tone had a slightly sour taste.
Obviously, she had overturned the jar of jealousy.
Li Chen smiled awkwardly, not answering. In such an occasion, saying more was of no use. The best way to handle it was to remain silent and politely smile.
After all, one doesn't hit someone with a smiling face!
Ling Shuanghua saw Li Chen, the scoundrel, daring to flirt with other women right in front of her, even going as far as teasing them. At that moment, she gritted her teeth in hatred, the sound of her teeth gnashing audible even from a distance.
"Despicable, you scoundrel, I hate you!"
After saying this baffling statement, her figure transformed into a fragrant breeze, angrily floating away.
"Haha, Li Chen, you're really something. Ling Shuanghua is called the first beauty of the Cultivation Realm, making her resent you is quite an honor, who knows how many men will go mad with jealousy!"
The speaker was Ye Lan.
She seemed to praise Li Chen on the surface, but her words were full of sarcasm and teasing.
"Ling Shuanghua and Heavenly Sword Mountain's Chief Disciple Jian Wuheng are a sect-arranged marriage. His woman is not so easily touched!"
The speaker this time was Chu Qing.
His defeat at the hands of Li Chen gnawed at him; now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to add insult to injury. Hence, his words were full of thorns, making them uncomfortable to hear.
The likes of Zhao Heng and others echoed these sentiments, and to avoid suspicion and prevent being considered as Li Chen's associates and provoking Jian Wuheng, they subconsciously took two steps back to maintain distance from Li Chen.
Li Chen couldn't be bothered with these clowns.
If they really provoked him, he would waste no words and smack them dead.
"Whoosh!"
A Sword Rainbow suddenly cut through the sky, followed by a blue Sword Shadow descending from above, attracting many people's attention.
As the Sword Rainbow cleared, a tall and straight figure was revealed. He wore black clothes, his hair flowing freely, moving without wind. His features were chiseled, sharp, like a sculpture crafted by God himself. Especially his eyes, dark as ink, like the sea of stars, unfathomable.
"Is this Heavenly Sword Mountain's Chief Disciple Jian Wuheng?"
Someone recognized him, exclaiming in disbelief.
"Wow, so handsome!"
Many female cultivators swooned, their gaze filled with admiration like blooming peach blossoms directed at Jian Wuheng.
However, Jian Wuheng didn't deign to look at these ordinary women, his gaze sharp like a blade, directly locking onto Li Chen.
Li Chen was not willing to back down, meeting his gaze head-on.
At this moment, the two were engaged in a confrontation as intense as swords clashing.
Suddenly, the surrounding space was still, giving a sense that dark clouds loomed overhead, suffocating those with weaker cultivation, making it hard to breathe, feeling like they might suffocate.
After a long while, Jian Wuheng was the first to speak, asking coldly, "You are Li Chen?"
"Yes, I am Li Chen!"
Li Chen's answer was terse, but his words carried a domineering aura as if he overlooked the world.
Jian Wuheng's expression changed slightly, he replied in a deep voice, "Very well, I hope you won't disappoint me later on the Ascending Dragon Platform!"
With that, he left swiftly.
Watching his figure disappear into the distance, Li Chen began to mumble to himself, "Interesting, quite interesting!"
At this point, Lian Hongshang could no longer be bothered with jealousy, her clear eyes filled with worry, softly calling, "Chen!"
Before she could finish, Li Chen flashed her a confident smile and said, "Don't worry, today I will slaughter the gods!"
Seeing the confidence on Li Chen's face, Lian Hongshang's worry was slightly eased, and she nodded vigorously at him.
"Haha, what a big boast. Offending Jian Wuheng, you have no idea how you'll die later. Yet you still have the mood to joke around, it's really funny!"
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, Chu Qing started to mock.
However, the word "funny" was still lingering at his lips when Li Chen's gaze, sharp as a sword, swept over, scaring him into retreating backwards.
"Say one more useless word, and I'll kill you!"
As he spoke, murderous intent flashed in Li Chen's eyes. Chu Qing, usually arrogant, couldn't muster a response now, silently walking away.
Once he reached a safe distance, he glared at Li Chen fiercely.
"Hmph, let's see how arrogant you are on the Ascending Dragon Platform!"
After snorting angrily, his gaze fell upon Lian Hongshang's form, and a scorching gleam appeared in his narrow eyes.
Though Chu Qing was proud, he had self-awareness. The Heavenly Girl from Illusion Sound Pavilion, the fairy from Moon God Palace, the immortal from Cloud Sea Sect, these women were beyond his reach.
Lian Hongshang was different, she was a Loose Cultivator without any sect background. As for Li Chen, he had already offended the Chief Disciple of Heavenly Sword Mountain Jian Wuheng, and soon would probably end up dead.
"Hmph, Li Chen, once you're dead, I'll take good care of your woman for you!"
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes, gazing at Lian Hongshang's perfect silhouette, thinking maliciously in his heart.
