But any normal girl would react with either shyness or excitement at this point.

But Gong Huiyu was destined not to be a normal girl.

Faced with Li Chen's praise, she responded sincerely: "I'm not."

These three words have a great ability to kill a conversation.

Even Li Chen, who had long been accustomed to Gong Huiyu's cold and aloof personality, couldn't help but be deeply affected by it at this moment.

How can someone be so naive and straightforward

Li Chen chose to steer clear of the topic rationally. He said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, will you come with me"

Gong Huiyu stared fixedly at Li Chen, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Her meaning was clear: if you want something, you have to pay for it.

And this truth, she learned from Li Chen.

After understanding her meaning, Li Chen's face immediately darkened. He said, "I understand, I understand. On the way there, before we reach our destination, I'll definitely update you with two episodes of the story, how about that"

Gong Huiyu extended four fingers, "Four episodes."

Li Chen glared and said, "You're asking for too much!"

Gong Huiyu frowned slightly, then reluctantly retracted a finger, her tone firm: "Three episodes, no less."

Li Chen said with a wry smile, "Where did you learn this bargaining skill"

"On you." Gong Huiyu replied.

"Go, go, go."

Li Chen spread his hands and said, "Three episodes is three episodes, deal."

Gong Huiyu's mouth curved into a pleased smile, then ... she turned her head and ignored Li Chen.

Feeling utterly unattractive in front of Gong Huiyu, Li Chen sighed dejectedly. Then, he started to search for things to say, though he had nothing much to offer.

"Have you been in contact with Jianxin"

Gong Huiyu didn't even lift her head, "No."

"Do you have a nickname in the Jianghu Like, something like Fairy So-and-So"

"Neither."

"So weak You can't possibly roam the rivers and lakes without a cool nickname! Even someone who's only practiced martial arts for three or five years would give themselves a badass name like 'River-Flowing Dragon' or 'Sky-Dominating Tiger'. Don't you even have a nickname"

"I don't like it."

"Apart from you, are there other women in your White Lotus"

Yes.

"Are you as cold and distant as I am Can you get married Will you have children Do you prefer boys or girls"

When Li Chen bombarded her with questions, Gong Huiyu finally reached her limit and turned her head to glare at him.

It's just...not very effective.

Li Chen grinned and said, "What are you looking at me for I'm just curious."

"Speaking of which, why don't we find some free time and dress up to go out and experience the world I haven't really seen what the real "martial arts world" is like."

Gong Huiyu saw that Li Chen wasn't bothered by the matter of having children, so she gave up on glaring at him. Perhaps Gong Huiyu understood that even if she glared at him, it wouldn't be effective.

Eyes cannot kill.

"You won't like it," Gong Huiyu said faintly.

"Why"

Li Chen lay on the eaves with his hands supporting his head, propped up his legs, and looked at the starry sky. He smiled and said, "Which man doesn't have a heroic dream of wielding a three-foot blade to vanquish all injustice in the world"

"The rivers and lakes are not your fictional tales, nor your court. The rivers and lakes are actually very real."

Gong Huiyu rarely spoke so much, she said lightly, "The treacherous schemes in the Jianghu are no less than those in the court." of an eye, Li Chen, who had never faced an assassination attempt before in his life, didn't even have time to react as the blade flew towards his throat."Your Highness!!!"A scream pulled Li Chen's th...
