Library Study, Meeting the Ice Beauty Again

Hearing Ye Chen's request, Qian Duoduo rubbed his forehead helplessly, but he still agreed to Ye Chen's request.

However, Qian Duoduo gave Ye Chen one final reminder.

"Little Chen, if you truly can't realize that idea of yours, don't get stuck on it. When it's time to give up, you need to let it go."

Ye Chen paused upon hearing that, then patted his chest and assured the two of them.

"Don't worry, Old Qian. I know what I'm doing."

Afterward, Ye Chen left the Soul Tool Laboratory and headed toward the library.

In the days that followed, Ye Chen planned every day with strict precision, making use of every minute and second.

In the mornings, after getting up, Ye Chen would meditate and cultivate while deepening his control over the Power of Light.

In the afternoons, Ye Chen would immerse himself in the library, studying the theories left behind by those Soul Tool Masters. This not only gave him a deeper understanding of his Soul Tool Handgun concept,

but also laid a solid foundation for his future path in soul tools. The books written by different Soul Tool Masters brought Ye Chen different insights.

At night, Ye Chen would return to keep Ma Xiaotao company. As for Sister Lexuan, she had gone out on an Inner Court mission.

Ever since Ma Xiaotao learned that Zhang Lexuan had left Shrek Academy, she had openly run into Ye Chen's room that very night.

When Ma Xiaotao arrived at Ye Chen's home, she showed no restraint whatsoever. Instead, she acted domineeringly and bullied Ye Chen that very night.

Ye Chen had originally thought that Shrek's library would be his last stretch of peace and quiet, but someone's arrival shattered that tranquility.

On this day, Ye Chen came to the library as usual to study Soul Tool knowledge.

Just as he was engrossed in a book at his seat, an enticing fragrance drifted from beside him, carrying a fresh and refined scent.

Ye Chen sniffed lightly, then turned his head and saw a familiar person.

"Sister Luo Chen, why are you here?"

Ye Chen's eyes widened. He clearly had not expected Ling Luochen to be here.

Ling Luochen covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Ye Chen and spoke slowly.

"Little brother, I didn't expect to find you here either."

After saying that, Ling Luochen looked at the book in Ye Chen's hands. Upon discovering that it was related to Soul Tools,

she began chatting with Ye Chen.

"Little brother, I heard Xiaotao say that your martial soul talent is unmatched through the ages. I never expected you to understand Soul Tools as well."

"You're already so impressive at such a young age."

Hearing Ling Luochen's praise, Ye Chen gave a soft laugh.

"I only understand a tiny little bit about Soul Tools. I'm not that impressive."

Ling Luochen said nothing more. She naturally sat down beside Ye Chen, still holding an encyclopedia of soul beasts in her hand.

"Little brother, I happened to come to the library to read as well. You don't mind if I sit beside you, do you?"

Ling Luochen spoke gently to Ye Chen, raising the book in her right hand as she did so.

Ye Chen looked at Ling Luochen and said, "Sit wherever you like, Sister. Reading alongside a great beauty like you, I wonder how many Shrek students would envy me."

Hearing how sweet Ye Chen's words were, Ling Luochen could not help but feel even happier. She reached out with her fair, jade-like hand and rubbed Ye Chen's head.

Then Ling Luochen sat beside Ye Chen with the encyclopedia of soul beasts.

After a while, Ye Chen was reading seriously when he sensed fiery gazes from beside him, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

At the same time, he felt his leg being rubbed against incessantly. Though the sensation was quite pleasant, he was studying right now.

One was supposed to study without distractions. Being teased like this by Ling Luochen, Ye Chen turned to look at her.

He had not known until he looked. The moment he did, Ye Chen was rendered speechless.

Ling Luochen's eyes seemed about to stick to him, and there was even undried saliva at the corner of her mouth. And...

"Sister Luo Chen, you didn't come to the library to read, did you?"

Questioned by Ye Chen, Ling Luochen immediately retorted.

"How could that be? Little brother, I came to the library to read seriously."

Before she could continue making excuses, Ye Chen pointed at the encyclopedia of soul beasts in her hands and said helplessly,

"But you're even holding the book upside down."

"Ah?"

Only then did Ling Luochen look at the book in her hands. Sure enough, she had been holding it upside down.

"And you've been sneaking glances at me this whole time. Your eyes have been anything but proper."

"And you still claim you came here to read? I think your target is me."

Having been exposed by Ye Chen, Ling Luochen's cheeks flushed slightly red. But then she grabbed Ye Chen's little hand.

"Little brother, ever since our Soul Power Resonance last time, I've wanted to do it with you again..."

Without finishing her sentence, Ling Luochen fixed her black eyes tightly on Ye Chen. She believed he would understand what she meant.

Upon hearing Ling Luochen's words, Ye Chen was just about to refuse when she launched another attack.

"As long as you have Soul Power Resonance with me, I can give you a massage."

As she spoke, she gave Ye Chen a meaningful look. Seeing her expression, Ye Chen hesitated over whether to refuse.

The next moment, Ling Luochen bit her lips and suddenly said,

"I can wash your feet and massage them too."

Hearing those words, Ye Chen swallowed the refusal that had risen to his lips.

Looking at Ling Luochen's "sincere" expression, Ye Chen suddenly felt that it was not impossible. In any case, Soul Power Resonance was beneficial to him too.

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen looked at Ling Luochen with a smile.

"Sister Luo Chen, give me a full-body massage, and I'll have Soul Power Resonance with you. How about it?"

Ye Chen somewhat missed the days of being the Bath Emperor. Now that a beautiful woman had come knocking on his door, why not enjoy it?

After making an agreement with Ling Luochen, Ye Chen wanted to find a place to properly enjoy himself. Sister Lexuan or Sister Xiaotao would never agree to such an unreasonable request.

Since Ling Luochen's residence in Shrek was a student dormitory, Ye Chen took her out of Shrek Academy and booked a room at a five-star hotel in Shrek City.

When booking the hotel room, the attendant looked at Ye Chen and Ling Luochen and immediately revealed an expression of disbelief, along with a strange look in her eyes.

But out of professional courtesy, she still helped Ye Chen and Ling Luochen book a room.

The moment they entered the hotel room, Ye Chen discovered that its atmosphere was clearly meant for couples. The large bed in the center of the room even had a huge heart-shaped design on it, leaving Ye Chen at a loss.

Still, there was nothing he could do. They could only make do for a few hours.

After entering the room, Ye Chen instructed the attendant to bring him a large basin and several big boxes of foot-soaking solution.

Under the attendant's strange gaze, Ye Chen took the basin and milk. After pouring all the foot-soaking solution into the basin, he looked at Ling Luochen beside him.

"Sister Luo Chen, I'll leave it to you."

Then Ye Chen sat on a huge round stool, took off his shoes, and placed his feet into the basin.

"Mmm, so comfortable. It's been so long since I last soaked my feet that I'd almost forgotten how wonderful this feels."
