Chapter 517 - Love-Addled Brain, Xiao Chen

Xiao Chen? Never heard of him... Someone else from the Divine Treasure Territory?

Li Guanqi was irritated by how familiar Xiao Chen was acting with Meng Wanshu.

Meng Wanshu’s eyes darted toward Li Guanqi. She had an idea, and she wrapped her arms around his arm. “By the way, this is my Dao partner, Li Guanqi.”

Xiao Chen turned pale. His mouth hung open as he stared at Li Guanqi, unable to find words. He pointed at Li Guanqi and stuttered, “Y-y-you... H-h-he...”

Li Guanqi scoffed, his expression flat. “And what about it?”

“Shut your mouth!” Xiao Chen said. “You’re not her Dao partner! What makes you worthy of her? Our families are a match, and we grew up together!”

He continued, “I am the heir to the Xiao family of the Divine Treasure Territory! My family has six Combined Body Realm cultivators! What do you have? You look like a broke rogue cultivator! How could you give Wanshu a good life?”

Xiao Chen’s anger melted back into a smile as he turned to Meng Wanshu. “Wanshu, you’re still young, and you’ve had little experience. This person...

Sigh...

You may know a man’s face, but not his heart. Being with me is still the best choice for you.”

Ye Feng was getting annoyed. He rolled up his sleeve and released his Ghost Arm. Ghostly energy began to swirl around him. “Boss, don’t stop me. I’m going to cut him.”

Li Guanqi raised a hand to stop Ye Feng, then smiled and took Meng Wanshu’s delicate hand, gently stroking its back. His other arm wrapped around her slender waist.

Meng Wanshu blushed deeply. She buried her face in his chest, then looked up and whispered, “What are you doing...?”

Xiao Chen lost his temper. He clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves and gritted his teeth so hard his cheeks trembled. A vein pulsed on his forehead.

Li Guanqi grew even happier at the reaction. He sighed dramatically. “I don’t have any money, status, or even a good family background... And yet, Wanshu still likes me.”

He looked down and kissed her on the lips. They were cool and soft, and her breathing grew heavier.

“Li Guanqi! You’re looking for death!” Xiao Chen shouted.

Boom!

Ye Feng no longer held back. He swung his sword several times, forcing Xiao Chen to retreat dozens of zhang back.

Rrrip!

Xiao Chen’s white robes tore. He stood in place as anger, fear, and humiliation flashed across his eyes. He glared at Ye Feng.

Ghost qi wrapped around Ye Feng’s sword. He cocked his head and pointed at Xiao Chen. “My temper isn’t as good as my big brother’s. Yell again and I’ll cut you.”

Li Guanqi released Meng Wanshu and turned to Xiao Chen. “Six Combined Body Realm cultivators? Impressive. Well, Wanshu and I grew up together. I’ve even seen her bathing. Have you?”

Xiao Chen’s face darkened, but so did Meng Wanshu’s. She reached for Li Guanq’s waist and gave him a painful pinch, twisting the skin.

“I knew you’d already activated your heart’s eye back then! You lied to me!”

Li Guanqi’s expression didn’t waver. He kept his gaze on Xiao Chen. “And you said your family was powerful? My grandfather is strong enough to string Meng Jianchu up and punch him. Is that strong enough? Of course, I could also string you up and beat you.”

Xiao Chen paled, eyes widening. He didn’t believe a word of it. “

Heh.

You’re quite the braggart, aren’t you? Everyone knows the territory lords are at the Mahayana Stage. String him up and beat him? You’ve got guts, but it’s nothing but lies! Wanshu, don’t trust him!”

To his surprise, Meng Wanshu shrugged. “My father is indeed afraid of Grandfather Su.”

Li Guanqi continued, “You didn’t know Wanshu when she was little, did you? By that point, we’d already agreed to marry each other.”

Xiao Chen had gone mad with rage. He’d never met anyone so infuriating. His spear let out a bright cry.

Clang!

He pointed it at Li Guanqi and yelled, “I don’t care! I want to fight you! Only the winner deserves to be Wanshu’s Dao partner!”

“They already like each other!” Ye Feng yelled. “What the hell gives you the right to butt in?”

Li Guanqi smiled. “You want a fight? Bring it on, I’ll give you one.”

Xiao Chen was a typical prodigal son who had lived a luxurious life. He’d been cold at first, but his words and behavior revealed him to be a straightforward person with pure intentions. He genuinely liked Meng Wanshu, and he didn’t want to step back. As such, Li Guanqi bore little enmity toward him.

Li Guanqi stepped forward. Meng Wanshu’s face creased with worry.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Chen shouted, “Wanshu, don’t worry about me. I’ll beat him up good!”

But Meng Wanshu didn’t even look at him. She pulled Li Guanqi’s hand and said, “You’d better not kill him. The Xiao family is quite powerful.”

She had seen Li Guanqi’s strength and vengeful side, so she was worried he might lose control and kill Xiao Chen. She added quickly, “Xiao Chen treated me well when we were younger. He’s not very bright, but he doesn’t have bad intentions. If you kill him, it’ll cause a lot of trouble.”

Xiao Chen was touched. He muttered, “Wanshu still cares for me... Even now, she’s thinking of me.”

Ye Feng’s jaw dropped. He scratched his head, processing what he’d just heard. “Dude, did you just hit your head? Did you not hear what my sister-in-law said? She’s worried my big brother will face trouble if he kills you. And somehow you think she’s concerned about you? What are ears for if you only hear what suits you?”

Xiao Chen replied angrily, “You don’t know who’ll win yet. Why are you even calling her your sister-in-law? And if he’s strong, how much stronger could he be compared to you?”

Having confirmed Xiao Chen had hit his head, Ye Feng didn’t argue further. He sealed his Ghost Arm once more, crossed his arms, and squatted down to watch the show. Taking out some sunflower seeds and a watermelon, he muttered, “Boss wouldn’t even struggle against two of me at his current level, would he?

Sigh,

thinking is exhausting.”

Meng Wanshu retreated a thousand zhang.

A battle between two Illusory Refinement Realm cultivators naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Xiao Chen looked at Li Guanqi gravely. He slammed his spear against space, and his fiery domain spread across the sky.

Li Guanqi wrung his hands and smirked. “Think you can get Wanshu? I’ll teach you a lesson.”
