Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 377 - 374: A Burst of Anger for a Beauty! (Part 1)

Chapter 377: Chapter 374: A Burst of Anger for a Beauty! (Part 1)

Three days later, in a private hospital in Hang City, VIP ward:

Ye Chuxue was lying here, staring blankly at the ceiling.

At this moment, she was silently calculating how many unfulfilled wishes she still had.

Last month, she was the happiest woman in the world.

But in just one month, fate had played such a cruel joke on her.

Suddenly, she remembered a line from the movie "Forrest Gump" where Forrest’s mom says to him: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get."

Unfortunately, she could no longer taste chocolates in her life!

Thinking about it, Ye Chuxue closed her eyes. Tears streamed down from her eyes, soaking the white sheets, leaving behind tear stains.

Just as she was drowsily drifting to sleep, about to enter her dreams, she suddenly heard a familiar voice outside.

Ye Chuxue was startled: Has he returned?

However, on second thought, she felt it was unlikely, could she be hallucinating?

"Chuxue?" Just as Ye Chuxue was bewildered, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Ye Chuxue stared blankly at the figure at the door; only then she confirmed, it was not a hallucination, he had indeed returned.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, quickly covered her head with the blanket, and started sobbing softly.

"Chuxue!" Li Chen rushed forward and embraced Ye Chuxue.

"Don’t look at me, I look so... ugly right now!" Ye Chuxue covered her face with both hands, her expression sorrowful, sobbing as she spoke.

"No matter what you look like, you are my Xue’er, the one and only Xue’er!" While speaking, Li Chen gently pecked on Ye Chuxue’s forehead, which was no longer youthful.

"Am I going to die?" Ye Chuxue forced a slight smile, asking in a seemingly light-hearted manner.

"No!" Li Chen gently lifted Ye Chuxue’s hair, speaking very firmly.

"I’m very cold, hold me tight!" Ye Chuxue smiled contentedly.

Li Chen held Ye Chuxue tightly, True Yuan flowing in his palms, gently merging into her body.

However, it was quickly repelled. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Thousand-year-old Ice Soul?"

Ye Chuxue nodded, saying: "Yes, Gongzi Yuu mentioned the Thousand-year-old Ice Soul, too!"

After a while, her expression slightly saddened, she asked: "Is it..."

"Don’t think nonsense, it’s fine. Listen, close your eyes obediently!"

Before Ye Chuxue could finish her sentence, Li Chen interrupted.

Ye Chuxue smiled, glanced at Li Chen, and closed her eyes slowly like a good baby.

Li Chen calmed his breath, brought his hands together, channeling True Yuan continuously into Ye Chuxue’s body, to curb the Thousand-year-old Ice Soul.

Unconsciously, the night had also quietly fallen.

Yet, the atmosphere in the ward remained unchanged.

At this moment, Ye Chuxue was enveloped by Li Chen’s True Yuan. She looked like an unborn baby in amniotic fluid of a mother’s womb.

As time ticked by, Ye Chuxue’s sallow cheeks gradually regained the delicacy and fairness of a young girl, blooming like a white lotus in the wind, untainted by a speck of dust.

However, Li Chen’s forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, his face turned pale as frost, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He was cultivating the Five Thunders Heavenly Technique, and just when attempting a crucial breakthrough, he was counterattacked by an external force. Having hurriedly traveled three days and three nights without rest, his True Essence Spiritual Power was severely depleted, hence he couldn’t completely expel the Thousand-year-old Ice Soul in one go.

Moreover, Ye Chuxue’s physique was too weak to force the process. Otherwise, if any complications arose, she would perish, beyond even divine help.

After much consideration, Li Chenh had no choice but to take a step back. He first restrained the Thousand-year-old Ice Soul and planned to seek a thousand-year-old cold attribute Spiritual Medicine for a complete removal later.

"Is it done?" Ye Chuxue, seeing the calm outside, slowly opened her eyes and asked softly.

"Yes, it’s done!" Li Chen nodded, giving Ye Chuxue a gentle smile.

Ye Chuxue touched her cheeks, no longer dry and wrinkled like walnut skin, now like the bud of a blossoming flower, smooth and fair.

"Really done?" Her eyes sparkled with joy, asking in disbelief.

Li Chen nodded, conjuring an ice crystal mirror, and placed it in front of Ye Chuxue.

In the mirror, the girl’s features were delicate as if sculpted by a master sculptor, the most perfect creation. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, her swan-like white neck and slender, emerald fingers, her perfectly shaped collarbones shone under the light.

She looked like an ethereal immortal from the Nine Heavens, just as the poet Li Yannian once wrote: "In the north there is a beauty, peerless and independent. One glance topples the city, another topples the nation."

Ye Chuxue carefully examined her reflection in the mirror, her clear eyes brimming with pure laughter.

Li Chen gently cradled her smiling face, feigning annoyance, "Xue’er, why be so silly? Just mention that I’m at Lingnan Divine Dragon Pond, and even Gongzi Yuu wouldn’t trouble you!"

Ye Chuxue did not answer and simply nestled softly in Li Chen’s arms, her smile blooming like flowers.

Even if she had to choose again, she would make the same decision.

After a while, she suddenly shivered, lifted her head to look at Li Chen, and asked, "Brother Li Chen, why do I still feel a bit cold?"

Li Chen unconsciously avoided Ye Chuxue’s gaze, looking out the window and said nonchalantly, "It’s common to feel this way right after a big illness, don’t worry. Everything is under control!"

Ye Chuxue quietly glanced at Li Chen, did not ask further, only nodded heavily.

"By the way, how is Little Cutie? Is it alright?" Suddenly, Ye Chuxue remembered the Jade Golden Toad, asking anxiously.

Li Chen casually responded, "That toad, he has a strong will to live, he won’t die easily. He just lost too much blood, nothing serious!"

"Mm, good to hear it’s alright!"

After speaking, Ye Chuxue looked up at Li Chen, shyly asking, "Brother Li Chen, can you hold me while we sleep tonight?"

Li Chen nodded, enveloping Ye Chuxue’s delicate body tightly in his arms.

Ye Chuxue snuggled tightly against Li Chen’s chest, quietly listening to his strong and steady heartbeat.

She traced a heart shape over his heart with her finger, shyly saying, "Brother Li Chen, I really want to give my whole self to you!"

Li Chen was momentarily stunned, then gently bit Ye Chuxue’s earlobe, "Xue’er, it’s not suitable for a patient to engage in strenuous activity!"

Ye Chuxue was stunned momentarily, and when she realized what "strenuous activity" meant, her ears turned fiery red with embarrassment.

"Naughty boy!"

She whispered under her breath, then buried her small head deeply in Li Chen’s chest.

Li Chen gently stroked Ye Chuxue’s smooth hair and fair back, holding her as they both fell into a deep sleep.

The next day was sunny and bright!

The brilliant sunlight, filtering through the clean glass window, fell into the room like dancing musical notes.

Li Chen was awakened by the dancing sunlight and was about to get up when he noticed the sweetly sleeping beauty in his arms.

He gently lifted Ye Chuxue’s slightly messy hair, kissed her fair forehead, and then carefully got out of bed.

Then, he covered Ye Chuxue properly with the blanket, got up, and left the room.

At that moment, Tang Wan’er, Zhang Tianrui and others were already waiting outside. Seeing Li Chen coming out, they began asking questions.

However, before they could speak, Li Chen signaled with a shushing gesture, "Shhh, Chuxue is sleeping, keep it down!"

Tang Wan’er lowered her voice as much as possible and asked, "Li Chen, is Chuxue alright now?"

Li Chen nodded and said, "For now, she is fine. Sister Wan’er, you go in first and take care of Chuxue!"

"Everyone else can go back. No need to wait here. Heavenly Master Zhang, don’t go yet, I have something to ask you!"

Tang Wan’er entered the sickroom, while others exchanged looks and gradually left.

In an instant, the vast corridor was left with only Li Chen and Zhang Tianrui.

Worried about being reprimanded by Li Chen, Zhang Tianrui immediately apologized proactively, "Alliance Hierarch, I failed to protect Miss Ye from this calamity!"

Li Chen, uninterested in listening to his excuses, waved his hand and asked, "It’s not your fault. I have a question, does your Medical Saint Sect have any Thousand-year-old Cold Attribute Spiritual Medicines?"

Zhang Tianrui shook his head and said, "There’s a thousand-year wild ginseng, but it’s an earth attribute. We really don’t have any cold attribute thousand-year spiritual medicines!"

After speaking, he sneakily glanced at Li Chen’s expression and whispered suggestively, "Alliance Hierarch, Medicine King Valley might have the Thousand-year-old Cold Attribute Spiritual Medicine, but such medicines are extremely precious, they might not..."

Before Zhang Tianrui could finish, Li Chen coldly interrupted, "If they dare not give it, then we’ll annihilate their Medicine King Valley and take the medicine!"

His voice wasn’t loud, but his tone was exceptionally resolute, making Zhang Tianrui shiver uncontrollably.

Li Chen indifferently stated, "Alright, that’s all I needed from you. Take care of the Jade Golden Toad situation!"

Zhang Tianrui bowed and responded, "I will do my utmost to heal the Golden Toad King!"

"Good, thank you!" After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Tianrui to reply, Li Chen turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Alliance Hierarch, where are you going?" Zhang Tianrui called out, looking at Li Chen’s retreating figure.

"To Heming Mountain, to kill Gongzi Yuu!" Li Chen waved his hand, not looking back, and continued on.

...

A 3000-word Chapter for you. Some readers have wondered why Li Chen, being an Immortal Emperor in his past life, would practice others’ cultivation techniques instead of his own from the previous life?

Here’s a simple explanation from Little Le: In his previous life, Li Chen’s first cultivation experience was not on Earth, but in interstellar space. The environment was different, and most of the cultivation techniques there are not suitable for Earth. Only when the protagonist’s cultivation reaches a certain level will it become possible. Also, the Five Thunders Heavenly Technique wasn’t created by Zhang Daoling but was passed down from one of The Three Pure Ones, Lord Tao, a very impressive cultivation technique!
