CHAPTER 577: CHAPTER 574: I APOLOGIZE TO YOU, DO YOU DARE ACCEPT?

Hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone present was greatly shocked.

Moha flew into a rage: "Sir, what do you mean by that? I am a prince of Uruguay, how dare you insult me like this?"

Anjin also felt that she had lost face and said sternly: "Li Chen, Moha is a prince of a nation. He condescended to cooperate with you because he treated you as a friend. Don’t go too far!"

Li Chen gave a cold smile and said, "Is it too much to not want to cooperate? Fine, I apologize!"

Having said that, he pulled out a bracelet made of a row of male lion teeth as if by magic and handed it to Moha.

"Here’s my apology gift. Do you dare to accept it?"

Moha jumped at the sight of the bracelet Li Chen handed over.

"Lion King’s tooth bracelet?"

It was said that the African Lion King once hunted 99 male lions on the great plains and made a bracelet. He played with it day and night and cherished it greatly.

After Li Chen killed him, noticing that the bracelet was finely made, he casually picked it up.

In front of Li Chen, the African Lion King was nothing but a chicken made of clay. But in the eyes of the world, especially in Africa, he was one of the giants who the Overseas Hongmen used to oppress Africa.

The political power of some small African countries was all manipulated by him alone. Uruguay was one of those countries.

Let alone Moha being just a prince, even if he were the King, upon seeing the African Lion King, he would have to pay his respects respectfully.

Li Chen did not answer, but glanced at Moha with a slant, as if confirming his guess.

Moha’s heart was in turmoil; terrible memories of the African Lion King instantly played in his mind like a movie.

Three years ago, their Crown Prince of Uruguay was dethroned and received capital punishment on the same day for his disrespect towards the Supreme Emperor.

If the Crown Prince could suffer such a fate, let alone him being merely an ordinary prince.

With this thought, Moha shivered subconsciously, trembling in his legs, and then "thump," he fell to his knees.

"Moha did not recognize Tai Mountain, I hope the Lion King will forgive me!"

Anjin was startled by Moha’s sudden action and hurriedly went to help him up.

"Moha, what’s wrong with you?"

However, she did not help Moha up, instead, he pulled her along, causing her to kneel down as well.

"Anjin, kneel down quickly and apologize to the Lion King!"

Anjin was bewildered, instinctively wanting to rise. However, being tightly grabbed by Moha, the situation became quite awkward.

Li Chen stepped forward and said coldly, "I am not the Lion King!"

Trembling with fear, Moha asked: "Then how did this Lion King’s bracelet end up in your hands?"

"Because I killed him!"

Li Chen spoke lightly, as casually as if chatting about daily affairs.

Moha, on the other hand, was struck as if by lightning, taking a long time to recover.

Li Chen forcibly stuffed the bracelet into his hand and said, "I had a lot of fun tonight; I’ll give you this bracelet to cover our drink costs for the three of us!"

With those words, Li Chen no longer paid attention to Moha but turned to Ye Chuxue and Lan Huanxi with a smile.

"Chuxue, Huanxi, it’s getting late. Let’s go back!"

Ye Chuxue stepped forward and boldly took Li Chen’s hand.

Lan Huanxi wanted to reach out as well out of instinct but hesitated and withdrew her hand.

As she felt somewhat awkward, Ye Chuxue suddenly called out to Li Chen.

"Brother Li Chen, the road is slippery. Hold your sister’s hand so she doesn’t fall!"

Li Chen frowned but looked at Lan Huanxi without a word and took her delicate, soft hand in his.

Lan Huanxi’s face blushed with embarrassment, and although she wanted to say something, she opened her mouth but ended up saying nothing.

The three of them walked quietly, resulting in a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Upon arrival at the school, Lan Huanxi’s face turned red as she said she forgot to feed Big Miao and had to return to the dorm to feed it.

After saying that, she broke free from Li Chen’s hand and scurried back to the dorm.

Watching Lan Huanxi’s receding figure, Ye Chuxue’s lips were slightly pursed, it was unclear whether she was talking to Li Chen or muttering to herself.

"Huanxi is a good girl!"

Li Chen nodded and casually added, "Yeah, she’s a girl with a pure heart!"

Ye Chuxue tilted her head towards Li Chen, blinking and asking, "Are you implying that I’m not pure?"

Li Chen quickly shook his head, emphatically denying it.

"No, that’s not what I meant!"

Ye Chuxue went on to ask, "So there’s another meaning?"

"I..."

"What about you?"

"I’m not talking anymore, isn’t that enough?"

"Not talking means you agree!"

Li Chen felt like crying, really crying.

He could easily suppress a nation, annihilate centuries-old monstrosities, making thousands of experts tremble at the sound of his name. But facing Ye Chuxue, this vexing Little Demon, he was utterly defeated and at a loss.

His eyes flicked to the sky as he suddenly pointed upwards, feigning shock and shouting: "Xue’er, look quick, what’s that in the sky?"

Ye Chuxue, unaware of the trick, instinctively looked up.

"What thing? I don’t see anything?"

Her sentence was cut short as she felt her mouth being sealed.

When their eyes met, she realized that she’d fallen for someone’s trap and had been forcefully kissed.

After Li Chen released her, she glared at him with wide eyes, pretending to be annoyed: "What are you doing? This is the school entrance, lots of people are watching!"

Li Chen looked around and declared, "What are you looking at, haven’t you ever seen a kiss?"

Ye Chuxue blushed.

Where’s my face, my face, my face?

She covered her face with one hand and with the other, tugged Li Chen towards a sparsely populated grove of trees.

Ye Chuxue exclaimed with her eyes wide, "What are you doing? Aren’t you embarrassed?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent, "What’s wrong with kissing one’s girlfriend, it’s not illegal!"

"But you have to be mindful of the place, that was the school entrance, a lot of people were watching!"

"So where can I kiss you?"

"It should also be in a place with no one around, being seen by others is so embarrassing!"

Li Chen looked left and right and said, "It seems that there’s nobody here though!"

Ye Chuxue, surprised by his words, also looked around and indeed saw no one.

Suddenly, she realized something and subconsciously tried to run.

However, she was stopped by Li Chen with a tree-backed cornering maneuver.

"Xue’er, you are mine. In this lifetime, I will never let you run away again!"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes, retorting, "Cut it out, as if I ran away from you in our past life?"

Her offhand remark immediately evoked all sorts of memories of the past life from Li Chen.

Seeing Li Chen’s expression turn strange, Ye Chuxue slightly furrowed her brows with concern and asked: "What’s wrong, isn’t it okay that I’m not running this time?"

Li Chen did not speak but instead pulled her into his embrace. Their hands interlocked, fingers tightly clasped together.
