Chapter 6674
If You Don’t Like It, Just Throw It Away
The clothes soaked with cold sweat stuck to his back like a second layer of cold skin, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Xiao Chen clenched the photo tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force, and he almost crushed the photo.
The runes on the back of the photo had disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream, but Xiao Chen knew that it was definitely not a dream.
"What is the ancestral hall that suddenly appeared in the immortal palace? What are those spirit tablets?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a mixture of excitement and fear.
What made him excited was that the changes in this fairy palace might mean that he was about to uncover a huge secret and gain more powerful strength; but what made him fearful was that the powerful force of the golden giant palm left him with lingering fears, and he didn't know how many unknown dangers were hidden in this fairy palace.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just as Xiao Chen was immersed in his own thoughts, the rapid knock on the door sounded like a death warrant, interrupting his thoughts.
Yun Yuyan's voice came through the door with a bit of impatience: "Are you getting up? If you don't get up, I'll come in. I heard that you men all have morning erections. I won't care when that happens."
The sharpness in her words could not conceal a trace of deliberate concealment, as if she did not want Xiao Chen to realize her true intentions.
Xiao Chen frowned, feeling annoyed.
He had just experienced a shocking change in the Immortal Palace and was now full of confusion and uneasiness. Yun Yuyan's urging made him even more upset.
But he also knew that Yun Yuyan was not a pushover, and if he didn't respond, she might really break in.
"Get up and stop knocking!" Xiao Chen shouted unhappily. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that no matter what the changes in the Immortal Palace meant, he had to deal with the current situation first before exploring the mysterious secret.
A faint smile slowly appeared on Xiao Chen's lips, and there was a hint of teasing and amusement in that smile.
He naturally and carefully put the photo into his arms. The moment he stood up, the faint smell of blood on his body gently dissipated with his movements, as if silently telling the unknown story he had just experienced.
He walked towards the door with steady steps. The moment he opened the door, the morning light was like a golden veil, softly outlining Yun Yuyan's graceful figure.
She was wearing a well-tailored business suit, the straight lines of which perfectly showed off her graceful figure. Her long legs were tightly wrapped in black stockings, and every step she took exuded a sense of competence and sexiness.
There were still a few strands of uncombed hair on her neck, gently fluttering in the morning breeze, adding a touch of laziness to her charm.
However, there was a suspicious blush on the tips of her ears, like the sunset in the sky, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the embarrassing scene of last night.
"Hey, Miss Yun, are you threatening me?" Xiao Chen leaned against the door frame, his posture lazy and casual, like a lazy cheetah, seemingly careless, but actually hiding a sharp edge.
His eyes seemed to scan her pale knuckles, which turned slightly white due to the force, revealing her inner tension and anxiety at the moment.
"But I'm the one you saw naked, and I'm the one who suffered. Why don't I marry you to pay the rent?" Xiao Chen's voice was low and bewitching, like a whisper coming from a deep ancient well, with a hint of ridicule.
However, deep in his eyes, there was a barely perceptible tenderness, like the faint twinkling stars in the night sky.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuyan rolled her eyes instantly, her eyes full of disdain and anger.
She stepped on high heels and hurriedly passed by him. The hem of her black skirt swept across his calves like a nimble black butterfly, bringing with it a faint rose scent. However, this scent was mixed with a faint nervous aura from her body, as if her heartbeat at this moment had become faster with this scent.
"Stop talking nonsense." She walked straight to the kitchen, and soon brought out a bowl of steaming pumpkin porridge.
She placed the bowl gently on the table, and the porcelain spoon hit the edge of the bowl, making a crisp sound. The sound was particularly clear in the silent room, as if it was the panicky drumbeat in her heart, hiding an imperceptible panic.
"You can stay, but let's set the rules first." Yun Yuyan didn't dare to look Xiao Chen in the eye when she spoke. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, casting an uneasy shadow under her eyes, like a frightened deer, afraid that Xiao Chen would see through her inner secrets.
Xiao Chen seemed not to hear her words and just smiled.
That smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, with a bit of freedom and unrestrainedness.
"I dare not live with you anymore. If I continue, I will be sorry to my wife..." His tone was teasing yet serious.
"However, to thank you, I'll give you a gift, please keep it well. Doesn't your company manufacture battle suits? Here is a design drawing of a battle suit." There was a confident gleam in his eyes, as if this design drawing was a treasure he had carefully prepared, which would definitely bring surprises to Yun Yuyan.
When Yun Yuyan saw the toilet paper covered with strange symbols, her carefully drawn eyebrows instantly twisted into a knot, as if they were about to break through the exquisite makeup and almost fly to her hairline.
She opened her eyes wide, full of disbelief and anger, as if the scene before her was a great insult to her intelligence.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" She sneered, her laughter was sharp and piercing, full of sarcasm.
Her fingertips pinched the edge of the paper carefully, as if the toilet paper was something dirty that would stain her fair hands.
She held the paper up to her eyes and studied it carefully. The more she looked, the tighter her brows frowned. "Battle suit design drawings? Are you kidding me? Who would write something so precious on toilet paper? Do you think this is street graffiti, just randomly drawing somewhere?"
Her tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.
However, as she glanced at the symbols with disdain, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Those symbols seemed disorganized, yet they seemed to contain some mysterious power, like invisible hooks that caught her attention and made her subconsciously want to explore the mystery contained therein.
Yun Yuyan's hand trembled slightly, and she subconsciously put away the toilet paper. She moved so quickly that even she was surprised.
When she came to her senses, she felt annoyed and wondered why she was confused by these inexplicable symbols.
She bit her lip and tried to keep her expression calm, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her inner panic.
Xiao Chen stood aside, watching Yun Yuyan's reaction, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There was a sense of confidence in that smile, as if everything was under his control.
"If you don't like it, just throw it away. Anyway, I've already expressed my gratitude. It's up to you whether you accept it or not." His tone was relaxed and casual, as if this piece of toilet paper was just an insignificant thing to him. (End of this chapter)
