?69: Chapter 60: The Little Sister-In-Law’s Push 69: Chapter 60: The Little Sister-In-Law’s Push Seated cross-legged on the bed, Li Chen quickly entered a meditative state.

    Within his body, the True Qi circulated according to his Heart Intent, and as Li Chen cultivated, the True Qi within him, remnants of the medicine’s effects, began to automatically converge towards his Dantian.

    Feeling pleasant and smooth, the meridians throughout his body were so comfortable that he wanted to moan, as if his entire being was immersed in this sensation.

    In just a moment, Li Chen forgot his surroundings; he forgot he was in Lin Yi’s villa, that he was seated cross-legged on the bed.

    He felt like he was in an extremely mysterious state.

    Was he about to achieve a breakthrough?

    This thought emerged inexplicably, and Li Chen felt more certain than ever.

    The Mysterious Technique was difficult to cultivate, and although he made rapid progress initially, there had been no sign of movement later on, not until today when he sensed the possibility of a breakthrough.

    In that wondrous state, his body almost automatically followed the instructions of the Mysterious Technique, and the True Qi within him was exceedingly docile.

    Li Chen gradually emerged from that state, eyes tightly shut, concentrating wholeheartedly on operating the Mysterious Technique.

    This moment was crucial; whether he could achieve a breakthrough hinged on this step.

    But this was the moment he most dreaded disruption.

    Li Chen had forgotten—he had not even closed the door.

    And right at that moment, the door suddenly creaked open—it made a sound!

    Li Chen’s heart fluttered, and although his eyes were shut tight, his other senses were sharp.

    Someone had indeed come in, but he was now unable to stop the Mysterious Technique.

    If the True Qi reversed its flow, at best he would injure his meridians; at worst, it could cost him his life.

    “Hey, brother-in-law, what are you doing?” Lin Xiaoxiao’s voice came through.

    Lin Xiaoxiao had come looking for Li Chen, intending to tease him.

    But upon pushing the door open, she found Li Chen seated on the bed, his complexion looking extremely rosy.

    Even more exaggerated was the white smoke emanating from his entire body.

    Why is my brother-in-law emitting white smoke all over?

    Is he shooting a film?

    Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help being curious and approached Li Chen.

    “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law,” Lin Xiaoxiao called out loudly.

    Dammit!

    Li Chen was inwardly startled; how did this sister-in-law get in?

    Cold sweat trickled down Li Chen’s heart.

    The timing was extremely awkward.

    During this critical phase of cultivation, he could not tolerate disturbance from others and was also unable to answer her, but he could feel that Lin Xiaoxiao was right in front of him.

    “Hmm.” Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to hum softly, then there was silence.

    Did she leave?

    Li Chen let out a sigh of relief.

    If Lin Xiaoxiao had touched him at that moment, it really would have been the end for him.

    However, Lin Xiaoxiao had not left.

    Instead, she came behind Li Chen and was surprised to find that there wasn’t a point of ignition causing the smoke on his back.

    “Is the white smoke actually coming from inside your body?” Lin Xiaoxiao was utterly astonished, “Brother-in-law, are you kidding around?”

    “Quick, tell me, how did you do it?” Lin Xiaoxiao became excited all of a sudden, as if she had discovered a new world.

    However, Li Chen didn’t move, let alone respond.

    Sister-in-law, don’t touch me, and I’ll tell you everything once I finish collecting my Qi.

    Li Chen prayed silently in his heart, just as he had done in her car earlier that day.

    He felt as if there was a natural conflict between his fate and his sister-in-law’s; why else would his life be in her hands twice in the same day?

    “Hey, brother-in-law, talk to me?” Lin Xiaoxiao was getting annoyed.

    What was her brother-in-law doing, deliberately ignoring her?

    Sister-in-law, I wish I could talk.

    Li Chen inwardly grimaced, just don’t touch me.

    Li Chen was filled with worry, yet his face remained expressionless.

    Lin Xiaoxiao leaned close to Li Chen, nearly pressing her face to his, and after observing for a long time, she stood up and lightly touched Li Chen’s back.

    Suddenly, Li Chen felt his body tense up, and the True Qi within almost ran astray.

    Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t make any further moves, allowing Li Chen to quickly readjust his internal True Qi.

    Sister-in-law, you’re going to kill your brother-in-law!

    Li Chen felt like crying without tears; this was too much to handle.

    Seeing no reaction from Li Chen, Lin Xiaoxiao thought he was still messing with her.

    Her fingers began to slide on Li Chen’s back, exacerbating his frustration.

    As her fingers moved, he could feel his True Qi seemingly go off track.

    Thankfully, Lin Xiaoxiao eventually withdrew her fingers, and Li Chen’s anxiety subsided.

    Observing that Li Chen still hadn’t reacted, Lin Xiaoxiao grew even more infuriated.

    This bastard was still putting on an act, even though she could feel his back muscles tensing up from her touch.

    With a snort of displeasure, Lin Xiaoxiao grumbled,

    “What’s the point of pretending?”

    With that, Lin Xiaoxiao pushed Li Chen!

    Feeling no more disturbances behind him, Li Chen couldn’t help but relax.

    But suddenly, a surge of force came from behind!

    Crap, this is bad!

    That was Li Chen’s instant thought.

    Pushed by Lin Xiaoxiao like that, the Mysterious Technique he was practicing was forcibly interrupted.

    The True Qi immediately became chaotic and began to flow backward within his body.

    “You!” Li Chen’s eyes snapped open, but before he could finish speaking, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

    “Ah!” Lin Xiaoxiao was startled, how could this be, how could he be spitting blood?

    She had only simply pushed him a little.

    Li Chen lay in bed, his complexion turning deathly pale, as the true Qi within him began to surge uncontrollably, jumping around wildly.

    “Brother-in-law, are you okay?” Lin Xiaoxiao was terrified, seeing Li Chen suddenly spit out blood, she was at a loss for what to do.

    Li Chen lay on the bed, fresh red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, weakly opening his eyes to see the frantic Lin Xiaoxiao, and he was thoroughly resigned in his heart, she was indeed his bane.

    “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please don’t die, if you die, how can I explain to my sister?” Lin Xiaoxiao was in a panic, after all, Li Chen was her brother-in-law in name.

    Li Chen lay on the bed, hurriedly trying to control the true Qi inside him, but it was like untamed wild horses, not only rebelling against his commands but seemingly turning against him, and upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, he almost fainted from anger, I’m not dead yet.

    “Oof~”

    However, Li Chen spat out another mouthful of blood, which utterly terrified Lin Xiaoxiao.

    In that moment, her mind went blank, and she had no idea what to do.

    “Brother-in-law, forgive me, I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes were almost frantic with tears, while Li Chen coughed weakly, barely managing to say, “Call, call, Aunt Wang...”

    “What did you say?

    Brother-in-law, I can’t hear you.” Lin Xiaoxiao heard Li Chen speaking but his voice was so faint, she couldn’t make it out, and when Li Chen heard her words, he nearly fainted from exasperation, with true Qi attacking his heart, he nearly died from anger and hurriedly tried to control his true Qi.

    In her rush, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, “Hang in there, brother-in-law, I’m going to call my sister over right now.”

    Then, she saw Lin Xiaoxiao running out.

    Li Chen’s face was pale.

    Today, he had really been played by his little sister-in-law.

    She had to show up just when he was practicing, could the timing be any more coincidental?

    Not long after, the door to Li Chen’s room was pushed open, and Lin Yi hurried in anxiously.

    Seeing Li Chen in that state, she quickly ran over, “Li Chen, Li Chen, are you alright?”

    “Sister, I really didn’t do anything,” Lin Xiaoxiao said carefully, “I just pushed him once, and he ended up like this, it’s really not my fault.”

    Lin Yi was frantic with worry and didn’t have the heart to scold Lin Xiaoxiao at that moment, she loudly called out, “Aunt Wang!

    Aunt Wang!”

    Seeing Lin Yi calling for Aunt Wang, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly went down to loudly summon Aunt Wang.

    “Li Chen, hang in there, I’m taking you to the hospital right now.” Lin Yi was extremely anxious; he had just returned with injuries that very morning, and now he was lying there so weakened that she had never seen him so vulnerable before.

    She couldn’t help but feel distressed, fortunately, it wasn’t long before Aunt Wang entered the room, seeing Li Chen like this, she, too, was taken aback.

    “What happened to the young master?”

    “Aunt Wang, hurry, let’s take him to the hospital.”

    Aunt Wang quickly agreed, and with the help of three women, they managed to get Li Chen into the car, where Lin Yi took the driver’s seat, and Lin Xiaoxiao sat in the back, taking care of Li Chen.

    The car started, and Lin Yi drove straight to the hospital.

    As the car drove away, a pair of eyes watched everything from the shadows.

    “Did you say the King of the Netherworld fell ill again?” Ghost King’s eyes flashed with surprise, looking at Shadow.

    Shadow nodded, “My information can’t be wrong, the King of the Netherworld is indeed injured, and is currently being taken to the hospital by Lin Yi.”

    “Strange, how did he suddenly fall ill?” Ghost King furrowed his brows; the King of the Netherworld was fine in the morning, so how did he become ill so suddenly?

    “It shouldn’t be an illness,” Shadow spoke up, “it should be an injury, probably from practicing.

    The cultivation technique that the King of the Netherworld practices is very mysterious; such a possibility indeed exists.”

    “Never mind that, since it’s a fact that the King of the Netherworld is injured, how could I, Ghost King, pass up such a good opportunity?” A glint of cunning shone in Ghost King’s eyes.

    Elsewhere, it wasn’t long before Lin Yi arrived at the hospital, and after a flurry of activity, Li Chen was placed onto a hospital bed, and physicians set him up with an IV.

    Only that morning had he brought the Qilin Princess to the hospital, and now, in the blink of an eye, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.

    Li Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself as Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Yi anxiously watched over him at his side.

    “Li Chen, are you feeling any better?” Seeing his face still pale, Lin Yi asked with concern.

    “Yeah, brother-in-law, if you are better, just say a word and don’t worry us.

    I won’t blame you for taking advantage of me anymore,” Lin Xiaoxiao earnestly said.

    This little aunt of his, Li Chen was resigned; she still had that on her mind.

    However, the situation inside Li Chen’s body had indeed improved a little, but he needed time to completely straighten out the true Qi within him.

    Seeing Li Chen nod slightly, Lin Yi’s face lit up with a smile, “That’s good then.”

    “Sister, let me take care of my brother-in-law,” Lin Xiaoxiao quickly volunteered, perhaps trying to make amends for her guilt.

    “Alright then,” Lin Yi nodded her head.

    Soon, only Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao were left in the hospital room.

    “Brother-in-law, don’t blame me, okay?

    How was I to know that you’re so delicate, that just a touch could do this to you?” Lin Xiaoxiao began apologizing next to him, and upon hearing her words, Li Chen rolled his eyes, Who’s delicate?

    I’m not Lin Mei Mei, I was practicing.
