My gorgeous wife-Chapter 1710 - 1681: Settling Down

Tian Shang Star Continent.

Even for Yin Qingyan, the daughter of the Prefecture Master, it was an extremely distant term.

Just as countless people know.

The Heaven Realm is vast, unbelievably vast.

Many martial artists spend their entire lives within one prefecture, and don’t even visit another prefecture.

As for other Star Continents, just the Earth Prison Star Continent alone has over a hundred prefectures.

Concerning the Earth Prison Star Continent, among the 108 Star Continents in the Heaven Realm, it is considered relatively small. The distances between each Star Continent are even more remote.

Excluding those top-tier powerhouses in the Heaven Realm, aside from those who wish to venture outside for opportunities, it is very rare for anyone to leave their home Star Continent.

This is, in fact, the most common phenomenon in the Heaven Realm.

Let alone a Tiangang Level Star Continent like Tian Shang Star Continent, Yin Qingyan has never been to even the few Earth Sha Level Star Continents near the Earth Prison Star Continent, in all her years of coming into the world.

"You... how did you end up in such a faraway place?" Yin Qingyan looked at Li Chen in disbelief.

"Let’s talk about that later. For now, tell me what exactly happened, why you ended up here." Li Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Oh, oh!" Yin Qingyan nodded quickly, realizing she strayed from the point. She called Li Chen over to let him help resolve the current issues.

She witnessed the previous scene and realized Li Chen’s cultivation has likely reached an extraordinarily high realm. Perhaps he really could help!

"Here’s what happened..." Yin Qingyan recounted the events starting from the Star Lord’s visit to Nanxiang Prefecture, to their escape and encounter with the people of Heisha Ridge, and finally the attack of the Extreme Wing Sect, leading to Li Chen’s arrival.

Listening to Yin Qingyan’s account, Li Chen gradually understood the happenings of these past years, feeling increasingly apologetic towards Yin Qingyan.

In truth, if he hadn’t left Bai Tianyi with Yin Qingyan, perhaps none of this would have happened.

"Looks like, before going to the Tianyu Sect, I have to deal with the matters here." Li Chen glanced around, noticing that the new settlement chosen by the Heisha Ridge people was already in ruins.

"Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. Once we leave here, I’ll personally go to Formless City to take a look." Li Chen promised.

"Alright then." Yin Qingyan also knew it couldn’t be rushed. Since these people are Li Chen’s friends and seeing how destroyed this place is, she could not push him to leave immediately.

They discussed for a while and only then returned to Bai Tianyi.

"Tianyi, do you remember me?" Looking at Bai Tianyi, Li Chen’s expression turned a bit strange. According to Yin Qingyan, Bai Tianyi loses her memory once a year. He’s been away from Earth Prison Star Continent for years, yet Bai Tianyi still remembers him?

"Of course I remember, you’re Brother Li Chen." Bai Tianyi still wore a naive, innocent expression, giggling. It was as if the fierce battle before didn’t leave a shadow on her heart at all.

"I..." Li Chen suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Reuniting with Bai Tianyi, what could he do?

Bring Bai Tianyi along with him?

Even if he didn’t know where he’s headed, and with Bai Tianyi, what would happen if they encountered Lin Yi, and Lin Yi regained her memories and asked? How would he explain?

Thinking about these headaches, even he couldn’t help but scratch his head.

"Let Tianyi stay with me for now." Yin Qingyan spoke up at this point.

For one, she noticed Li Chen’s helplessness, and secondly, she was indeed reluctant to let Bai Tianyi be with a man who was essentially a stranger; she simply couldn’t trust Bai Tianyi with him.

While speaking, Yin Qingyan cast a wary glance at Li Chen.

Li Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry; what did Yin Qingyan take him for with that look?

Am I that kind of beast... Well, sometimes I am a bit of a beast, but not towards everyone!

Thinking about being beastly, Li Chen suddenly realized that since parting with Lin Yi, he seemed to have been celibate for years.

"Damn, I might as well be a monk!"

Cursing silently, Li Chen pushed aside his distracting thoughts and approached the Big Leader and the others, "Big Leader, this place is no longer suitable for living. How about you come along with me to Ciran City for now? You can settle there for a bit. I have to go somewhere, but I’ll also swing by the Extreme Wing Sect, and when I return, I’ll help you find a new place to settle, how does that sound?"

"Let’s do as you said." The Big Leader nodded with an amicable smile. He was thoroughly satisfied with Li Chen.

Not only was his talent exceptional, but remarkably, he hadn’t forgotten his roots. Even though his cultivation has reached a level so high that the Big Leader couldn’t fathom, it seemed he was still the same Li Chen who taught children classes back at Heisha Ridge.

"It’s just... if we go to Ciran City, with so many of us, it’s fine for a day or two, but if it’s for a long time, I’m afraid we’ll..." Qin Qiang rubbed his ring, speaking with some embarrassment.

"What’s there to panic about?" Li Chen looked at Qin Qiang, patting his chest, and asked him and the others, "What was I best at back then?"

"Conning and swindling!" Qin Qiang and the others almost said in unison.

Li Chen nearly choked, coughing several times before he replied with a darkened face, "Without me conning and swindling back then, where would I have gotten so many spirit crystals to squander? Have you forgotten how miserable you guys were before? It was making money! Do you understand making money?"

"Guess it should be... making money." Luu Zhouzi said quietly, even his thick-skinned face flushed a bit.

"Spit! You ungrateful scoundrels! I taught you guys so many tricks for nothing back then!" Li Chen retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Since you know my best skill is making money, do you think I’d be short on money after being out for so many years?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, someone like Li Chen wouldn’t lack money anywhere he went. They knew well that Li Chen was not only skilled at conning and swindling but also had amazing alchemy skills. Unfortunately, there was no one suitable to learn alchemy at Heisha Ridge back then, or quite a few would have directly sought Li Chen to learn it.

"Big Leader, take these to use for now, and if you need more, just use a Jade Slip to notify me." Li Chen handed a ring directly to the Big Leader.

The Big Leader instinctively probed it with his divine sense, and upon seeing the spirit crystals inside, his hand trembled in shock.

"Th-this many?"

The Big Leader raised his head, looking at Li Chen with a stunned expression, intending to return the ring immediately, but Li Chen stopped him before he extended his hand.

"Big Leader, compared to what you once gave me, this is already stingy, don’t make me feel guilty." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Big Leader gave Li Chen a deep look, knowing what he was referring to, and without further refusal, he nodded and accepted the ring.

"Seems that thing indeed wasn’t meant for me; it... must have found a new master by now." The Big Leader couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sentiment in his heart.
