Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 424 - 421: What More Can the World Do to Me?【Fourth Update】

Chapter 424: Chapter 421: What More Can the World Do to Me?【Fourth Update】

Since Valley Master Sunx Baiyang passed away, Medicine King Valley had been shrouded in a dead silence, its inhabitants dressed in mourning attire.

From the Deacon Elders to the ordinary disciples, all were immersed in grief, filled with trepidation.

The Supreme Xinglin, which had a legacy of a thousand years, was now on the brink of collapse.

However, there was one person who was extremely pleased with himself.

This person was the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley, Pang Guang.

At this moment, he sat on the master’s throne, caressing the seat that only the successive valley masters were qualified to occupy.

"Ha ha, I, Pang Guang, have finally awaited this day!"

Suddenly!

A gust of wind blew the doors wide open!

Pang Guang’s heart skipped a beat, and he rose abruptly, shouting, "Who’s lurking there in the shadows? Show yourself!"

No sooner had his words ended than a lightning-fast Light Blade had already pierced through his throat.

Pang Guang clutched at the gushing blood on his neck, staggering backward until he reached the master’s throne, with nowhere else to retreat.

His eyes bulged with rage, as he screamed hysterically, "Who on earth are you?"

"This question, you might as well ask your senior brother in hell!"

The mysterious assassin swiftly pulled out the blade, and fresh blood gushed out, staining the entire hall red.

Pang Guang’s eyes dimmed of life, and with a tilt of his head, he lay atop the blood-covered master’s throne.

"Hmph, you’re nowhere close to Sunx Baiyang, and you dreamt of taking the position of valley master. Maybe in your next life!"

After dropping this scoffing remark, the mysterious killer leapt away and disappeared into the vast night.

Disciples of Medicine King Valley who hurried over upon hearing news of the incident were horrified to find Great Elder Pang Guang dead upon the master’s throne.

Valley Master Sunx Baiyang and Great Elder Pang Guang had both met violent ends within a month, and the Apricot Forest Divine Tiger was forcibly taken away by Immortal Master Li.

From that moment on, Medicine King Valley, which had endured a millennium, met its complete downfall.

Who knew what the spirit of Medicine King Sunx Simiao, the founder of Medicine King Valley, would feel upon seeing his creation in such decay?

In the past, such an event would have surely stirred up huge waves in the worldly society.

But ever since Li Chenn made his debut six months ago, having successively annihilated the hundred-year-old Tongzhou Tie Family, Hang City Long Family, Miao Territory Witch Family, and the like, such matters had become all too common.

As a result, this incident only caused a small ripple before it subsided.

At this time, everyone was looking forward to the pinnacle showdown in three months between the Undefeated War God Li Lingtian and the legendary youth Immortal Master Li.

Although this showdown was not a matter of life and death,

Li Chen was still preparing with all his heart.

Li Lingtian was the undefeated myth of Huaxia, the foremost among those below the God Realm, even having broken through the bottleneck to become a Divine-level Master.

He would be a mirror, a mirror reflecting Li Chen’s true strength!

That night, Li Chen was meditating in his room.

Suddenly, he saw a figure pacing back and forth outside his door.

A ripple of curiosity flashed in Li Chen’s eyes. With a sweep of his sleeve, the door opened.

Under the moonlight, the graceful silhouette of Ye Chuxue entered his field of vision.

Li Chen asked in surprise, "Chuxue, why aren’t you asleep at such a late hour?"

Ye Chuxue walked over with a smile, "Brother Li Chen, I saw that the light was still on in your room, and I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d come over to check on you!"

"By the way, I made some porridge for you, do you want to try it?"

Saying so, she gazed at Li Chen with expectant eyes, without blinking.

"Xue’er, you know how to cook porridge?" Li Chen asked with exaggerated surprise on his face.

"Go to hell, why wouldn’t I know how to cook porridge? Who are you despising?"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes at him before turning to serve the porridge for Li Chen.

"How does it taste, is it good?"

Ye Chuxue served the porridge to Li Chen, asking expectantly.

At this moment, her nervous heart was just like the new bride in the poem by Wang Jian.

Three days after being wed, to the kitchen she’s led, to wash her hands and cook a soup instead. Not knowing the taste preferred by her kin, she first lets her younger sister begin.[Note 1]

"Um, it’s good, I didn’t expect Xue’er’s cooking skills to be so great. If there was just a little less salt, it would be even more delicious!"

After saying this, Li Chen just lifted his neck and downed the entire bowl of fruit porridge.

"I didn’t add salt, I added sugar, alright?" Ye Chuxue was completely bewildered, and while speaking, she picked up a teaspoon and gently scooped up a spoonful of porridge.

However, as soon as it reached her mouth, she spat it back out.

"Wow, it’s so salty!"

Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh, affectionately watching this silly girl who wouldn’t usually touch spring water, yet stayed up late at night to make porridge for him.

"Why did you finish such salty porridge?" Ye Chuxue pouted, complaining sweetly.

Li Chen gently pinched Ye Chuxue’s exquisitely carved cheeks, saying, "Because you made it!"

In Ye Chuxue’s clear, large eyes, a tear began to glisten.

"Humph, you’re going to spoil me like this!"

Li Chen simply embraced Ye Chuxue in his arms, his face close to hers, saying, "That’s how I like it, is that not okay?"

Ye Chuxue pouted again, a stream of happiness warming her heart like a babbling brook.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she asked Li Chen with a worried face.

"By the way, are you really going to compete with Li Lingtian from the Imperial City in just over two months?"

Li Chen nodded lightly, pretending to be nonchalant, "Well, when you’re in the worldly society, you can’t always control your own fate!"

Ye Chuxue looked into Li Chen’s eyes and said, "But I’ve heard that Li Lingtian is really powerful, and is also known as the Undefeated War God. I’m really worried about you!"

"It’s okay, trust me, I will not lose!"

Li Chen said this lightly, with a bright sparkle in his starry eyes, flashing with confidence.

Ye Chuxue nodded vigorously, like a pecking chicken.

"Mmhmm, I believe you!"

Li Chen gently pecked Ye Chuxue’s fair forehead.

"Xue’er, do you know? In this world, there’s only one person who can defeat me!"

Ye Chuxue raised her head in surprise and asked, "Who?"

Li Chen looked at Ye Chuxue seriously and said, "You!"

Ye Chuxue was taken aback, her slender, onion-white fingers gently pointing at herself.

"Me?"

Li Chen nodded firmly, saying, "What more is there under the heavens for me to want? The only thing I care about is you alone!"

After hearing these words from Li Chen, another tear of happiness welled up in Ye Chuxue’s eyes.

Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, once looked down upon the Jiuzhou rivers and mountains, uttering the proud and emotional statement, "I was but a commoner from the Huai riverside, what more could the world offer me?"

Li Chen’s words might be filled with the sentimentality of young love, lacking the proud ambition of Emperor Hongwu, but they touched Ye Chuxue’s heart nonetheless.

"Xue’er, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Li Chen, seeing Ye Chuxue’s moist eyes, asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, just a gust of wind that made my eyes water!"

Ye Chuxue’s face blushed, and she reached up to wipe her eyes.

"Don’t move, Xue’er, let me do it for you!"

With that, Li Chen leaned down and gently kissed her.
