The next morning.
Su Chen had been a little overworked lately.
So he did not wake up until nearly noon.
After washing up briefly, Su Chen prepared to go mooch a meal.
When he arrived at the Ancient Life Court and saw that the gate was not closed, Su Chen simply went in. They were all acquaintances anyway, so it should be fine not to knock, right?
At that moment,
Hu Liena was hugging Qian Renxue, who was cooking. Hu Liena was feeling a little unwell today—her period had come, and she desperately needed some warm cuddling.
Thus, Qian Renxue was the obvious choice.
Qian Renxue said worriedly, "Nana! Yours came, but mine still hasn't. Could I really have hit the jackpot?"
Hu Liena said weakly, "I'd rather give this to you. It hurts so much, boohoo~"
"But this thing is never accurate anyway. It's normal not to get it for two or three months." Hu Liena added. How could it happen in one go? Did she think this was a novel?
(Useless knowledge gained: It's normal for girls not to get their period for two or three months~)
Qian Renxue felt that Hu Liena had a point. It could not be that much of a coincidence, so she relaxed and said gently, "Nana! Stay by yourself for a while, okay? I can't cook when you're like this! Be good!"
After saying that, Qian Renxue did not forget to rub Hu Liena's little head. Hu Liena seemed to be hungry as well, and she did not go against Qian Renxue today.
Smooch~
Hu Liena lightly pecked Qian Renxue on the cheek and said with a smile, "Hehe, Xue'er is so nice~"
Qian Renxue wiped her cheek in disgust and said coquettishly, "Stop taking advantage of me, little fox!"
"Bleh, bleh, bleh~"
Hu Liena then turned to leave, but the instant she turned around, she saw someone standing at the entrance.
"Ah! A ghost!" Hu Liena cried in terror.
Seeing Su Chen standing motionless at the door with a stunned expression, Hu Liena thought a ghost had appeared. Wasn't Su Chen supposed to be over at the North Pole right now?
Qian Renxue said helplessly, "This is the God King Palace. How could there be ghosts?"
However, when Qian Renxue saw Su Chen at the door, she froze slightly as well.
Su Chen was utterly dumbfounded.
This was really too much!
Let go of that girl and let me do it!
Since the two women were not planning to go out today, they were dressed very casually. Both wore sleep dresses, the smooth, silky kind.
The three of them just stared at one another, wide-eyed. For a moment, no one spoke.
Su Chen looked at the two beautiful women before him. After not seeing them for several days, he had missed them dearly and was just about to speak.
Suddenly,
the two women ran straight into the room.
Leaving Su Chen standing alone in the breeze, utterly disheveled.
Their sudden reaction even made Su Chen wonder whether he had made the wrong kind of entrance today. Why had they run away the moment they saw him?
Feeling depressed, Su Chen sat directly on a stone stool and waited for the two women outside.
Inside the room,
Qian Renxue glared at Hu Liena and said, "It's all your fault! He definitely saw what happened just now!"
Hu Liena said pitifully, "Oh, I didn't expect Su Chen to come back."
Hearing that, Qian Renxue reached out and smacked Hu Liena's small head, saying angrily, "It wouldn't be okay even if Su Chen weren't here!"
"Hurry up and change!"
When Su Chen saw the two women again, they had already changed clothes.
Qian Renxue wore a long golden dress without too many patterns, making her look rather simple and elegant. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her straight nose bridge and large eyes carried a trace of majesty.
As for Hu Liena, his love rival, Su Chen offered no comment!
From beginning to end, Su Chen's gaze remained fixed on Qian Renxue. As for Hu Liena, he merely glanced at her once and moved on.
Feeling the obvious difference in treatment, Hu Liena immediately became enraged.
Not caring whether the person before her was a God King or not, she rushed forward, grabbed Su Chen by the hair, and said angrily, "Su Chen, where am I inferior to Xue'er?!"
Hu Liena was furious. She had even carefully picked out her clothes just now!
After a bout of horseplay, the three gathered around the table to eat.
Qian Renxue asked gently, "Su Chen, have you been well lately?"
Su Chen shook his head and muttered, "I'm fine. Just a little tired."
Home really was warm. The women outside only knew how to demand things from him!
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Su Chen, this Ancient Tree of Life is truly wonderful! I feel like even one percent of my godhood has been restored. Full restoration should be just around the corner."
Hearing that, Su Chen felt that it was still a little slow. Perhaps he needed some nourishment?
Eat a Bear Paw? Roast a Snow Silkworm?
That Million-Year soul beast should be extremely nourishing, right? When he had time, he would go catch it and eat it. He could also catch up with Ning Rongrong while he was at it.
After the meal, the three sat atop the ancient tree and admired the moon. No one spoke as they enjoyed the quiet moment.
Suddenly,
"Ding! Random mission: Smash Beyond the Heavens; reward: God King's Palace."
The familiar mechanical voice made Su Chen excited. The God King Palace was already so powerful, so the God King's Palace certainly could not be lacking.
The same old formula. Wasn't it just Beyond the Heavens? He was practically a regular there anyway.
Su Chen could not help but smile and said, "Xue'er, Nana, wait for my good news!"
"Ah? What good news?"
"You'll find out when the time comes. Ladies, I'm off!"
With that, Su Chen vanished directly. Since he was going to smash Beyond the Heavens, Su Chen decided to find a helper first, just to be safe. What if Dai Mubai and the others were all at Beyond the Heavens?
