It was now 5 AM, a time when the sun has just begun to rise, casting its gentle light, and the air retains a lingering chill.

In the streets of Tianzhou city, a stunning woman with silver hair descended from a luxurious car, her face remarkably familiar. She was Li Yue'er.

"Young lady, are you certain you don't want me to accompany you?" asked a well-built man in a sleek black suit, her designated bodyguard.

"I'm just going shopping; there's no need for concern," Li Yue'er replied.

"Very well," the bodyguard nodded and returned to the car.

Li Yue'er stepped into the supermarket, finding that the stock of vegetables and cooking ingredients had been depleted. Today called for a shopping trip.

Long Tian had graciously provided her with an ATM card, and the amount astounded her—more than 500 million Yuan. This was a lot of money, especially considering her previous monthly school allowance was a mere 10,000 Yuan.

Despite the wealth at her disposal, she held a frugal mindset, opting to purchase only what was essential and necessary.

As she navigated the market, she seized a shopping cart and began searching for the ingredients she needed. From fresh vegetables to seasoning ingredients, and soul beast meats. She moved through the aisles with purpose.

With each item she picked, Li Yue'er's discerning eyes evaluated the quality, and her skilled hands conducted thorough inspections. Her mother, before passing away, had frequently brought her to the market, imparting the wisdom of selecting premium ingredients.

Sometimes she missed her, and at other times, she felt angry, remembering how her mother was treated in the Li family.

Eventually, she got rid of that thought and went to the cashier to pay.

Meanwhile, in the villa area, Long Tian landed right in front of the villa. The crisp breeze caressed his skin, but he immediately collapsed to the ground, breathless.

There were no visible injuries on his body, not a result of combat but rather sheer exhaustion from flying all the way from Shanghai to Tianzhou.

Having traversed two cities in a 2-hour flight, he hadn't fully acclimated to the experience, leaving him drained.

Four guards clad in black swiftly approached him, their expressions reflecting genuine concern.

"Young master, are you alright?" inquired one of them with sincere worry.

Seated and still catching his breath, Long Tian replied, "No need to worry; I'm just tired. You can go back to work."

The four guards exchanged glances before one of them spoke up, "Very well, young master. Please stay safe. Ling Han is currently in the Grand Yuan Dynasty with your parents, so please avoid getting into any trouble."

"I understand," Long Tian nodded.

With a nod, the guard and his companions departed.

Long Tian stayed seated, focusing on regulating his breath. He knew he needed to further refine his flying ability to achieve greater perfection.

In the supermarket, Li Yue'er emerged without any shopping bags.

Not because she had abandoned the idea of shopping, but rather she had stowed everything within the spatial ring Long Tian had bestowed upon her, a ring spanning 5 square meters.

Approaching the car, the bodyguard dutifully opened the door for her.

However, before she could step inside, a shout pierced the air, "Yue'er, wait!" The cry arrested her movement, causing her to gaze toward the source.

Her expression registered mild surprise; it was Qin Chen on the opposite side of the street. Swiftly, her countenance resumed its usual composure as she promptly entered the car, paying him no mind. f reewe bnovel

Qin Chen, however, sprinted toward the car. This was his chance to make things right; he couldn't waste it.

The car engine roared, indicating its ignition, the wheels in motion. Yet, abruptly, it screeched to a halt as Qin Chen blocked its path from the front, compelling an unexpected stop.

A scowl of displeasure etched across the bodyguard's face. "What the hell is that guy doing? Is he courting death?" he muttered.

Li Yue'er, seated in the back, hadn't anticipated Qin Chen's audacious move to halt the car in such a manner.

"Li Yue'er, please get out. I want to talk to you!" Qin Chen's voice echoed.

Before she could react, the bodyguard asserted, "Don't worry, young lady; I'll handle this freak."

"Get rid of him," Li Yue'er ordered.

"I will," the man replied with a nod.

Exiting the car, he advanced toward Qin Chen with a cold, threatening tone, "Hey, what do you think you're doing? Are you looking for trouble?"

Qin Chen's expression remained serene. "I just want to talk to her. Can you inform her?" he calmly requested.

"She doesn't want to talk to you. So, get the hell out, or you'll regret it," the bodyguard retorted, his imposing aura surfacing.

Hearing the defiance, Qin Chen sighed. Then, his eyes gleamed with a golden flash as he locked eyes with the man.

Suddenly, a dazzling light emanated from his eyes, temporarily blinding the bodyguard who screamed and shielded his eyes, "Argh!"

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Chen swiftly struck the bodyguard's chest, sending him crashing to the ground.

Qin Chen's gaze returned to its usual calm state, the brutal episode unnoticed by the sparse bystanders near the supermarket.

His attention fixated on the car, and in no time, Li Yue'er stepped out. However, her expression wasn't pleasing.

"Qin Chen, have you lost your mind?" she questioned with a frown.

Instead of responding, Qin Chen was utterly silent, captivated by Li Yue'er's presence. Now, she appeared even more stunning than before.

Her lovely face, cascading hair, captivating eyes, and that alluring figure—he yearned for her intensely. Yet, every inch of her had been claimed by Long Tian!

"Are you going to keep shouting at me only to stay silent? You're just wasting my time!" Li Yue'er declared.

In response, Qin Chen snapped back to reality, "No, Yue'er, I genuinely want to talk to you. I'm still wondering why you chose Long Tian. Tell me, were you forced and threatened by him, right? That's right, that bastard is indeed cunning and a coward. But now, Yue'er, you don't need to be afraid because I will protect you from him," he spoke, his tone laced with sincerity and determination.

Hearing this, Li Yue'er's gaze grew colder. She stepped closer, her palm colliding with Qin Chen's cheek in a resounding "Slap!" that echoed through the street.

"Never speak ill of Long Tian again!" she commanded, her words cutting through the air with cold precision.

Qin Chen's face twisted with a mix of emotions—disbelief, pain, and frustration after being struck by Li Yue'er. The next moment, a sense of sorrow and frustration surfaced on his face.

"Why, Yue'er? Our relationship was good even when we were kids. We grew up together, and you even protected me when I was bullied. You also promised me that we would be together and get married. But what now? Your actions contradict your words," he said with escalating desperation.

"As I told you before, Qin Chen. We were never in a relationship, and those words only came out of my mouth when I was a child. Now I'm an adult, and I love Long Tian more than you," Li Yue'er responded, her tone resolute.

In that moment, Qin Chen's world came crashing down.

Frozen in place, his eyes bore the weight of profound sadness, and a searing heartbreak etched across his face. The realization that the one he held in the deepest corners of his heart had chosen another struck him like a merciless blow.

A tumultuous storm of emotions churned within him—betrayal, despair, and a sense of irrevocable loss. It was as if the ground beneath him had crumbled. But he would not give up!

"Yue'er, please reconsider. I can give you a better life, a life where you don't have to worry about anything. Long Tian can't provide you with the same comfort and security," Qin Chen pleaded.

Li Yue'er's expression remained firm, "It's funny that you talk about a life without worry when I'm with Long Tian, who literally has everything compared to you," she retorted.

Qin Chen stood frozen, utterly unable to say anything. His heart was so painful that he couldn't even feel it anymore.

The next second, his expression turned colder with a malevolent determination, "I will not lose you!"

Golden wings emerged from his back, and he immediately grasped Li Yue'er's hand, lifting her off the ground as they soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they had left the city streets and ascended into the sky.

Meanwhile, Li Yue'er's eyes were filled with confusion and panic. She didn't know what was happening, and now she was at a terrifying height.

"Qin Chen, what are you doing? Let me go!" she yelled, but her voice was just a part of the wind rushing between the clouds.

Qin Chen, however, spoke with a chilling tone that sent shivers down her spine, "You chose Long Tian. Now you will face the consequences. You shall not choose him over me!"
