Chapter 2343: Chapter 2344: Awkward

The blood flowing through his meridians was also inevitably damaged, with signs of drying under the scorching heat.

Lin Chen didn’t mind this. As long as the foreign object before him was eliminated, the subsequent recovery was something he could naturally heal.

A large amount of Spiritual Energy gathered there, and who knows how long it took before that spark was finally extinguished by Lin Chen.

Only then did he let out a big breath and slightly opened his eyes as he lowered his head.

The process of elimination made Lin Chen feel even more exhausted than last night, with a considerable depletion of Spiritual Energy. This showed the terrifying nature of the object.

As the Evil Qi in his sea of consciousness stabilized, Lin Chen raised his hand to rub his forehead, finally feeling at ease. As long as this thing was kept in check, everything was worthwhile.

After resting for a little while, Lin Chen finally opened his eyes slowly.

Seeing the situation before him, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, due to Fang Qianqian.

The red light on Fang Qianqian’s body gradually faded. The flames that once burned like fire outside now seemed to have settled, merging into her body, casting a blush of red.

The formerly snow-like skin of Fang Qianqian now had a faint blush tint, adding to her beauty, which left Lin Chen momentarily dazed.

Lin Chen was not inexperienced with women; in fact, he had seen many in their bare skin. But being caught off guard like this and seeing Fang Qianqian in such a state made his nerves stall.

At that moment, Fang Qianqian suddenly took a few deep breaths, appearing extremely fatigued.

She opened her eyes, and her clear gaze fell upon Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen’s slightly stunned expression, she was momentarily taken aback, and then she looked down following Lin Chen’s gaze.

It was her heart, pounding wildly due to exhaustion.

"Ah!"

Fang Qianqian let out a startled cry, wrapping her arms around her chest, her face showing both shyness and anger. This was the first time she lost her composure like this, understandably so.

No matter which woman, being looked at so unguardedly when unclothed would naturally feel this way.

"Sorry, I’m sorry, I just woke up too..."

Lin Chen coughed dryly, quickly regaining his composure, and repeatedly nodded and apologized to Fang Qianqian, his face extremely embarrassed.

"Turn your body away."

Fang Qianqian pursed her lips and instructed Lin Chen.

Lin Chen quickly turned around without a moment’s delay. It was just a momentary slip, leading to this awkward scene. Besides embarrassment, he felt a bit of guilt.

"Lin Chen, Lin Chen, you have a wife..." he scolded himself mentally.

"Qianqian, what’s happening inside?"

Outside, Fang Lin, who had also heard the commotion, called out loudly. It was already noon. After such a long time, his worry was understandable.

After hearing a second startled cry, he couldn’t hold back and shouted out, though he didn’t push the door open.

It’s just as well, otherwise, the situation inside would be difficult to explain.

"It’s nothing, father. I’ll come out and explain in a moment."

Fang Qianqian’s tone was somewhat hurried, as if afraid Fang Lin would burst in.

After hearing this, Fang Lin visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t know the specifics inside, hearing this response eased his mind.

At least as long as no one was hurt, it’s okay. Fang Lin comforted himself internally.

After this, the sound of rustling clothing could be heard inside, indicating Fang Qianqian was getting dressed.

Upon hearing this, an image of Fang Qianqian dressing surfaced in Lin Chen’s mind, making his breath slightly labored and rushed.

He quickly calmed himself, driving away those distracting thoughts.

After a few seconds, a jade hand rested on Lin Chen’s shoulder. From behind came a cool voice saying, "Get up."

Lin Chen finally stood up. Turning around, he saw Fang Qianqian, still wearing a plain dress, but her presence carried a different vibe, making Lin Chen look a few more times.

Fang Qianqian’s face was still a bit flushed, and Lin Chen’s gaze added more color. She coughed lightly and said, "Have you seen enough?"

Lin Chen was once again startled, then quickly came to his senses, feeling very embarrassed. It was just that Fang Qianqian carried a different air about her, leading to a few extra glances. He hoped he wasn’t taken for a pervert.

"Have your injuries all healed?"

Lin Chen changed the subject.

"Almost, but recovering my full strength might take a long time."

Fang Qianqian replied, though there was no discouragement on her face, instead, she wore a confident smile. Naturally gifted, with her meridians healed she was confident she’d regain her lost strength. It was just a matter of time.

"That’s good." Lin Chen sighed with relief. The time and effort spent had not been wasted.

"However, your Cultivation Technique is unusual, and that old man..."

Recalling earlier events, Fang Qianqian had many questions.

"Let’s discuss it later. If we don’t go out now, Clan Leader Fang might become anxious." Lin Chen pointed toward the door, where Fang Lin’s shadow could be seen pacing outside, appearing anxious.

"True."

Fang Qianqian decided not to press further, smiling at Lin Chen with gratitude, "Thank you, benefactor."

She then walked out.

As the door opened, the outside sunlight was warm, with a slight warmth. Fang Qianqian looked up at the sky, feeling everything seemed to have changed.

Before she could ponder, a black shadow dashed over and burrowed into her embrace affectionately.

It was Xiao Bai, who had been waiting outside. Seeing Fang Qianqian emerge, it immediately ran toward her.

Just as Lin Chen walked out, he saw this and couldn’t help but feel a wave of speechlessness; this Xiao Bai seemed to regard Fang Qianqian even more fondly than him.
