My gorgeous wife-Chapter 1716 - 1687: The Importance of Trust

With the Five Elements Boots opening first, it wasn’t long before the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror also admitted defeat, except for the Primordial Heavy Water which kept a stiff face, unwilling to speak for a long time.

For someone like her who was used to being strong, she never admitted fault even to her previous owner, let alone to Li Chen, who wasn’t even her master.

On what grounds was he speaking like this? And with such confidence?

He simply didn’t understand how powerful and terrifying that person was!

"Big sister..."

The Heavenly Dao Pearl transmitted a message.

"Big sister, stop being stubborn. This guy has the same temper as you. You two being so obstinate doesn’t benefit anyone." The Five Elements Boots also chimed in.

Upon hearing the sound transmissions from the others, the Primordial Heavy Water couldn’t help but have a complicated expression in her eyes.

Indeed, countless people in the Heaven Realm were coveting them.

And all along, it was always they who chose their masters, never the other way around. In their bones, they maintained the pride that belonged to Supreme Treasures.

But today, Li Chen shattered that pride.

When that pride was broken, they couldn’t help but reconsider their own paths, and quickly came to realize.

Yes, they too need to choose their master.

Not everyone is qualified to be their master.

Just like when the Heavenly Dao Pearl first encountered Li Chen, it disdainfully ignored him, even though it only had one-ninth of its body left, it didn’t want to bother with such a weak guy.

It was through interacting with Li Chen that the Heavenly Dao Pearl gradually changed its view of him, slowly starting to accept him, and gradually began to communicate.

Indeed, they were Supreme Treasures, but no matter how powerful a Supreme Treasure is, it isn’t a Martial Artist. Without someone to wield them, no matter how powerful, they are just dead objects, even if this dead object has a soul.

As Supreme Treasures, they also hope the master they follow is someone with potential, a strong entity, not a weakling.

Li Chen is undoubtedly an excellent choice, so much so that even they were considering how many years it would take to encounter another Monster Genius like him after leaving.

"I... I was wrong." The voice of Primordial Heavy Water was tiny as a mosquito’s, yet upon hearing it, the others secretly sighed with relief and were privately shocked.

Big sister backed down; this was the first time they had seen this in all their years with big sister.

Li Chen didn’t dwell on this any longer and nodded: "I hope I won’t hear such words again in the future."

The few Supreme Treasures exchanged glances; the Heavenly Dao Pearl was the first to return to Li Chen’s body once more, followed by the others after seeing it go back.

Trust is a simple yet absolutely crucial word.

At least for Li Chen, it’s extremely important.

If even people fighting alongside him don’t trust him, then who can be trusted during battle?

Sometimes, a little bit of distrust can lead to dire consequences.

This, Li Chen is more experienced than anyone else.

Looking at Bai Tianyi seemingly asleep nearby, Li Chen shook his head, never imagining such a seemingly innocent girl could be the core of the Heaven Realm.

"Red Moon," Li Chen softly spoke in his heart.

"Master." Red Moon had been watching the whole affair just now but didn’t speak.

Because certain things no longer need to be communicated; they both already understand each other’s intentions.

Li Chen won’t distrust anyone but Red Moon, who has accompanied him from weakness to strength step by step and is his inseparable weapon.

And Red Moon, feels the same way.

"Can you tell what’s wrong with her now?"

"I don’t know." Red Moon shook his head: "Her physical state is a bit unstable right now, but listening to what the Heavenly Dao Pearl and others say, as the Heart of Heaven, perhaps nothing will happen to her for the time being."

"Okay, you rest well too. When I find enough Blood of the Strong, I will help repair your body again." Li Chen said.

When eliminating the group from the Extreme Wing Sect, Li Chen collected a significant amount of blood for Red Moon, but Red Moon’s damage was too severe; even after absorbing that blood, half of the blade still remained in a damaged state, full of cracks. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Thank you, Master."

"Just call me boss, it feels closer, otherwise I might someday forget where I came from." Li Chen smiled, though his smile was a bit forced.

"Alright, boss."

At this moment, the voice of Five Elements Boots resonated again in Li Chen’s mind: "She is the Heart of Heaven, not a complete living being, and from what just happened, she seems to have awakened part of her memory again and needs quite a bit of time to fuse, so you can temporarily store her in the ring..."

"No need." Li Chen shook his head and with a wave of his hand, a crack appeared beside him, leading to Li Chen’s Five Elements Space.

Li Chen’s Five Elements Space differs from the ring; it seems to accommodate life forms, at the very least, the Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine picked there have not shown signs of wilting even after a long time.

With a gesture, Li Chen moved Bai Tianyi into the Five Elements Space.

"Old Bai." At this moment, Li Chen called out to Bai Shi, who was staring with unblinking eyes.

Bai Shi saw everyone inside the Flying Spirit Artifacts disappearing before scampering over.

"Boss, what’s up?"

This time, Bai Shi was genuinely a bit frightened.

He didn’t know that the master he had always revered like a god in the Nether River Space had been with his boss all along. Moreover, from the recent situation, the master seemed to have been subdued by the boss...

The sound of Primordial Heavy Water admitting its mistake was faint but thunderous in Bai Shi’s ears.

At this moment, he finally understood how strong and incredible his boss was.

To have subdued even the master, how formidable is the boss?

Bai Shi didn’t know, but he knew well enough that following the boss was undoubtedly following the right person.

"Where are we now?" Li Chen asked.

"Boss, we should already be within Nanxiang Prefecture." Bai Shi eagerly replied: "According to the map in the Jade Slip, if we proceed further, we should see a city named Changde."

"Alright." Li Chen nodded: "Let’s first visit Changde City and gather some information about Nanxiang Prefecture."

The Flying Spirit Artifacts transformed into a stream of light, swiftly heading towards Changde City.

However, in just two hours, Li Chen emerged from Changde City once more.

Gripping the Jade Slip in his hand, Li Chen’s expression seemed both grim and ferocious.

"Boss..." Bai Shi worriedly spoke from the side.

"I’m fine." Li Chen said, though claiming he was fine, the Jade Slip in his hand suddenly shattered into powder with a ’bang.’

"It’s just unexpected to meet an ’old friend.’"

"Ling Canghai, the new Prefecture Master of Nanxiang Prefecture? Good! Good! It’s really great!" Li Chen said "good," but his tone was already filled with cold killing intent.
