Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1613 - 1610: The Moody Little Witch!

After National Master Zhuge Hu and King Wu Badao met their demise at Li Chen’s hands, the Forbidden Army loyal to the Royal Family was leaderless and was massively defeated by the Wang Family army.

That night, the Wang Family took control of the entire Royal City.

Other than a small group of diehards still resisting stubbornly, the vast majority surrendered at the first sign of trouble.

The clan members who relied on their royal status to act domineeringly suffered an unprecedented massacre that night.

However, there were tens of thousands of members of the Great Wu Royal Family. Many still managed to escape in the chaos.

The greatest threat among them was Ninth Prince Wu Changwen.

Wu Changwen, seeing the unfavorable situation, escaped the Royal Palace with Du Xiang during the turmoil.

At that time, everyone’s attention was focused on the brutal fight between Wu Badao and Wang Chao, leaving Wu Changwen unnoticed and allowing him to escape the Royal City successfully.

Yet, for Wang Chao and others, this was the most troubling issue.

Li Chen had shown no regard for Wu Badao or Zhuge Hu, let alone a small fry like Wu Changwen.

Night fell silent, the stars sparse in the bright moon sky!

Li Chen stood atop the high platform, gazing out.

At that moment, he heard faint footsteps approaching.

Li Chen didn’t need to look to know it was Xie Wanwan.

"Has Yun’er fallen asleep?"

Xie Wanwan nodded gently and replied, "Already asleep!"

Seeing Xie Wanwan’s pale face, clearly worn out, Li Chen reached out and gently wiped her cheek, saying, "Wanwan, I’m sorry I came late and let you suffer!"

Xie Wanwan felt the warmth of Li Chen’s hand, wanting to say something, but she opened her mouth only to choke up without uttering a word.

Seeing Xie Wanwan’s tears, Li Chen leaned down to kiss her.

The tears carried a bitterness of grievance, somewhat bitter!

After kissing for a while, Li Chen took Xie Wanwan in his arms and walked towards the bed.

Throughout the silent night, they were wrapped in tenderness. They only fell asleep when the eastern sky turned light.

Li Chen finally woke up when the sun was high in the sky.

Xie Wanwan, due to exhaustion, couldn’t get up at all.

She widened her almond eyes and feigned anger, "It’s all your fault!"

Li Chen pretended to be clueless, asking, "Fault of what?"

Xie Wanwan didn’t reply, instead fiercely bit him on the shoulder.

Even drawing blood, she showed no signs of letting go.

Li Chen didn’t stop her, allowing her to bite as she pleased.

This lasted for an indistinguishable period until Xie Wanwan finally let go.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, glaring at Li Chen pretending to be fierce.

"Hmph, this is your punishment!"

Li Chen looked at the somewhat childish Xie Wanwan, pointed at his other intact shoulder, asking, "Is the punishment enough, or is there still this side?"

Xie Wanwan glanced at Li Chen, snorted angrily without answering.

Then, her gaze fell again on the shoulder she had bitten that was bleeding.

She extended her slender, jade-like hand and asked with some concern, "Does it hurt?"

Li Chen chuckled and replied, "No pain, just a small injury!"

"Ah!"

Before finishing his sentence, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"

Originally, Xie Wanwan had bitten hard again on the previous wound.

This unexpected move left Li Chen bewildered and hurt.

What the hell, are you a dog?

Xie Wanwan, after biting, didn’t even wipe the blood off her mouth, raising her eyebrows and glaring at Li Chen, angrily saying, "Hmph, I’m in so much pain, how dare you say it doesn’t hurt, serves you right!"

Looking at Xie Wanwan’s angry expression, Li Chen couldn’t resist asking.

"Where does it hurt?"

"Get lost!"

Saying this, Xie Wanwan felt just speaking wasn’t enough to dispel her anger.

Hence, she stretched her long, white legs and kicked towards Li Chen.

But Li Chen didn’t get kicked off the bed.

Instead, her excessive movement caused a tear somewhere, and she cried, "Ah!"

Li Chen looked at this whimsical Little Witch, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Ah, no wonder the ancients said women change faces faster than flipping books!

Seems like the ancients weren’t wrong indeed!

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Followed by Wang Jin’s clear voice.

"Mr. Li, are you up?"

Hearing this voice, Xie Wanwan immediately rolled her eyes at Li Chen again, feigned anger, "You’re incorrigible, flirting everywhere!"

Li Chen felt wronged; which flower did he flirt with, which grass did he provoke?

But he didn’t explain to Xie Wanwan.

Given the Little Witch’s character, it would be strange if she listened.

Thus, no matter how clear the explanation, it would be futile.

Perhaps to her, explaining equals covering up, only making things worse.

At this moment, Wang Jin’s voice came again from outside.

"Mr. Li, my father would like to invite you over, saying there is something important to discuss!"

Li Chen responded, saying he would be over soon.

Then he looked at Xie Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, you rest well, I’ll be right back!"

Xie Wanwan glared at him, didn’t reply, but instead covered her little head with the quilt to protest.

Li Chen had no way to deal with this Little Witch, shook his head helplessly, and got up to leave.

Wang Jin was already waiting outside the door, seeing Li Chen come out, immediately bowed in greeting.

"Mr. Li, my father is waiting for you in the conference hall!"

Li Chen nodded and walked with Wang Jin towards the conference hall.

At that moment, the conference hall was already filled with people.

Moreover, looking around, they were all prominent figures of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Yet, these prominent figures stopped their discussions upon seeing Li Chen arrive, stood upright, and showed solemn deference.

Wang Chao saw Li Chen, leading the Wang Family elites, went forward to welcome him.

It seemed like Li Chen was their King now.

Wang Chao bowed first, greeting Li Chen, "Greetings, Mr. Li!"

Others, seeing even the Wang Family Patriarch doing so, followed suit in greeting.

"Greetings, Mr. Li!"

Li Chen nodded slightly as a return greeting.

After scanning around at everyone, he asked without expression, in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Wang Family Patriarch asked me here, what for?"

Wang Chao paused momentarily and replied, "Mr. Li, as the saying goes, a nation cannot be without a ruler for even one day. We wish to select a new King, what is Mr. Li’s opinion?"

Li Chen smiled calmly, saying, "This is your Great Wu Dynasty’s own matter, just resolve it yourselves, why bother asking me, an outsider?"

Wang Chao thought for a moment, then bowed deeply towards Li Chen.

"Mr. Li, after our discussion, we believe none but you can assume this position as King, hoping Mr. Li won’t decline!"
