CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 194 LAZYBONES GETS UP (1/3)

Afternoon.

Yang Chen woke up in a king-sized room at a hotel showcasing the local charm of Gu Gu City.

Because he felt someone had come in.

The silhouette stood by the window, drawing the curtains open.

"Lazybones, wake up!" Ye Xin turned around, revealing an incomparable and stunning face.

Today, Ye Xin wore no makeup, yet she remained captivatingly beautiful, with lively big eyes, a delicate neck, and a cherry-like mouth, all so tempting. She wore traditional Siamese off-shoulder sleeveless attire and a tube skirt, radiating ethnic allure.

The only difference was, Ye Xin made the otherwise conservative top exceptionally alluring.

Her five-foot-long legs turned the tube skirt into a mini skirt, with her curvaceous figure being especially enticing.

Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, his heart racing; waking up to such a tempting sight, it stirred his youthful energy!

"Um... Let me freshen up first, wait for me." Yang Chen quickly sat up from the other side of the bed, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Ye Xin chuckled and stepped out to the balcony, gazing outside.

Yang Chen watched, noticing Ye Xin’s figure was even more alluring from behind.

Due to regular exercise, Ye Xin was well-rounded and shapely in all the right places.

Taking a few deep breaths to suppress his restless spirit, Yang Chen went to the bathroom to freshen up.

In the morning, they met up with Sun Yue, who had someone treat Yang Chen’s injuries and arranged the hotel.

Yang Chen had slept until now before waking up.

After washing his face, Yang Chen felt refreshed.

Although using all his strength yesterday left his meridians slightly injured, a night’s sleep had mostly restored him.

Yang Chen’s recovery ability is strong, unlike before when he felt powerless watching his meridians suffer; the cultivation technique running through his body constantly repairs his internal meridians.

After freshening up and coming out, Yang Chen saw a set of traditional attire laid on the bed.

"Put it on, let’s go shopping today; I haven’t properly enjoyed myself in Gu Gu City yet!" Ye Xin smiled at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen also smiled; he was previously on a mission and had no time for leisure.

"Alright!" Yang Chen took the clothes and went back to the room to change.

Wearing the clothes, Yang Chen felt a bit strange.

The Siamese draped pants were similar to lantern pants, wearing them felt like wearing a skirt, cool indeed, but somewhat odd.

Yang Chen walked out the door, and upon seeing him, Ye Xin giggled and went up to straighten his clothes, saying, "Honey, I find you quite handsome!"

Yang Chen’s skin wasn’t fair; it had a healthy wheat color because he had frequently trained and basked under the scorching sun, resulting in such a complexion.

To Ye Xin, this was much more appealing than those fair, tender pretty boys, full of masculinity!

Yang Chen smiled wryly, "Feels like wearing a skirt."

"That’s how it is!" Ye Xin held Yang Chen’s arm and chuckled, "It’s ethnic and unique, what’s ethnic is global!"

"Alright!" Yang Chen said helplessly.

The two walked out of the room and went downstairs, ready to go shopping.

They went to the Grand Palace, visited the Buddhist Hall.

Ate various snacks and walked along every street...

This was the first and only time for the two of them to open their hearts so freely to have fun.

...

Inside a secret base.

A man in traditional attire was holding a phone and video chatting, appearing quite anachronistic.

This traditional-clad man was Shangxi.

Though their place retained an ancient style, they still used phones and computers, a reflection of modernity.

Shangxi held the phone and said to the man in the video, "Senior brother, Ye Xin seems to be married!"

"Married?" The man in the video slightly frowned, fluttered his fan twice, and said, "I think Ye Xin wouldn’t take such a rash action; could she remain pure?"

Shangxi replied solemnly, "According to my observation, her primordial yin remains intact."

"I understand." The man nodded, "Tell me about this Yang Chen."

Shangxi started to narrate his observations.

After listening, the man fell silent.

After a long while, he finally said, "Are you saying he defeated you with one punch?"

"Exactly!" Shangxi nodded.

"And you say he was injured?" The man asked.

"Yes!"

"Haha!" The man chuckled softly.

Shangxi frowned and asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean...?"

"You might have been deceived," the man said, "He was injured, so it’s impossible for him to have such strong combat ability; it’s just a strong arrow at the end of its flight, and he used all his strength in that one punch. You were merely intimidated by the sudden burst of power; if you were to fight again, he wouldn’t be your match."

"Damn it!" Shangxi exclaimed angrily, "I’ll go find him right now!"

Shangxi stood up, preparing to leave.

"Hold on!" The man said calmly.

Shangxi looked at the man.

The man stood up, paced around while fanning himself, and after a long while said, "Share your location with me; I’ll go there."

"No need, Senior brother!" Shangxi said, "I can handle him myself; he fooled me once, but definitely not a second time!"

"Haha!" The man chuckled again, telling Shangxi, "Junior brother, you’re mistaken again."

Led around by the nose by the man, Shangxi couldn’t help but show a trace of anger, but quickly suppressed it.

"Please enlighten me, Senior brother." Shangxi said in a deep voice.

"If you had put your full strength against him yesterday, he definitely wouldn’t be your match because he was seriously injured! But, if you go today, though he is still injured, he’s mostly recovered; going now would be suicide!"

"Impossible!" Shangxi protested angrily, "He could never be my opponent! I’m..."

"Shut up!" The man admonished, "Never let your emotions dictate your thoughts! If he didn’t truly have the ability, how could he defeat you? Yesterday, he could unleash such power; while it can’t be ruled out that he used some method to trigger his inner potential, there’s also the possibility that he inherently has such strength!"

On Shangxi’s face appeared a hint of disbelief, "That’s impossible, right? His profile only states he’s a special guard, how could he possibly..."

"In the Flame Country, nothing is impossible, with countless inheritances; don’t forget, there’s more of us than just our faction in the world," the man said indifferently.

"Are you implying..." A look of surprise appeared on Shangxi’s face, "He and Ye Xin..."

"Send me the address and track their location; I’m coming to find you now!" The man said, then directly ended the video call.

Switching off his phone, Shangxi’s gaze flickered.

After a long time, Shangxi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "That’s perfect, if Yang Chen really is... I just need to let Senior brother handle it, it’s got nothing to do with me! I hope they fight; that would be great!"

With that, a malicious glint flashed in Shangxi’s eyes.
