Chapter 35: Chapter 35 - Li Yuchen's Love

Chapter 35 Li Yuchen’s Love

The moon was high in the sky and the night was already dark.

Lin Wen finally saw off the day’s hustle and bustle. He was deeply exhausted. On the way back to his original cabin, he met a girl.

She had a head of long fiery red hair, wild eyes, and a cute and childish round face. She spoke to Lin Wen with great enthusiasm, her admiration overflowing.

After talking for a while with the Heart of Seven Orifices, he realized that she was Ji Fuxiao, the civil official who had gone missing while promoting him.

This girl seemed to have been completely brainwashed by his deeds in the Empire’s newspaper. She described him as a hero of the Empire and a saint of the world. Lin Wen’s balls were about to crack from all the flattery.

Yesterday, she had also worked like a fanatic. She had not returned for a night and had not reported anything. She had desperately spread the glorious deeds of Lin Wen to the refugees of the disaster, making it seem as if she had disappeared. It was also why Lin Wen could not find her when he came today.

Initially, Lin Wen was worried that her publicity efforts would not be good enough. However, it turned out that his worries were unnecessary. Her work had far exceeded Lin Wen’s expectations.

After Lin Wen killed the monsters and revealed his identity, the refugees quickly linked up the titles of the guardian of the dam, the Great Immortal, the hero of the Empire, and the county governor. Only then did his work progress so smoothly. Now that he thought about it, the fact that the refugees could accept him so quickly meant that her merits were indelible.

Therefore, Lin Wen didn’t chase her away immediately. Instead, he turned off the Heart of Seven Orifices and responded to his fan

girl.

However, this girl was clearly too enthusiastic. Lin Wen had already returned to his old house, which had four walls and only one bed, but this girl still didn’t leave. She enthusiastically helped him lay the bed, unfold the blanket, and clean the dust.

“Hey.”

Lin Wen felt offended. This was a rare time of cultivation for him. He didn’t want this short period of happiness to be disturbed.

“Are you going back?”

“Ah?” Ji Fuxiao looked surprised. “It’s still early. I see that there’s still some dust on the blanket. I definitely can’t let you get disturbed by the dust when you sleep. Hey, hey, hey…”

Lin Wen said unhappily, “It’s so late. Why are you still here? Do you want to warm my bed?”

Ji Fuxiao jumped up in fright, but didn’t show the fear that Lin Wen wanted to see.

“Wow! Is this true? Can I really, county governor? Wow, this is really great.”

In the end, Lin Wen still forced her to leave. What a joke, a mere mortal from the physical world wanted to meddle with the future master of the cultivation world. That woman was simply daydreaming.

After studying the spell for a while, Lin Wen fell asleep.

Not far away on the hill, there were seven sneaky figures lurking in the dark.

It was Li Yuchen and the six governor-general’s bodyguards.

Ever since he left the county governor’s office that day, under Uncle Jie’s lead, the pretty boy Li Yuchen had been forced to follow Lin Wen’s orders and come to support the temporary command post.

Director Huang Mingxiao didn’t give them preferential treatment because they were from the governor-general’s guard. He only assigned them a dilapidated house that could barely accommodate them and arranged for them to go to the 19th Resettlement Site to assist the staff in settling the refugees and maintaining order.

All of this made Li Yuchen, who had always been the center of attention wherever he went, extremely dissatisfied. After causing a huge ruckus in the shabby but still relatively clean house, he was forced to “fall asleep” on the bed by Uncle Jie.

The next day, Li Yuchen was a little more at ease, but he still refused to interact with the dirty refugees. This time, Uncle Jie did not make things difficult for him. He only let him sit on one side while he led five guards to help the refugees settle down in the camp, carry supplies, set up tents, and use dry soil to fill up the dents, taking care of the injured refugees.

After that, Li Yuchen joined in when he was bored.

“I’m just so bored.”

This was what Li Yuchen had repeatedly emphasized. Uncle Jie didn’t say anything and only helped him with the heavy work.

After that, they witnessed the entire civil rebellion.

Unlike ordinary refugees or Fang Dashan who only saw a portion of it, their knowledge far exceeded that of ordinary people, allowing them to clearly understand just how shocking of a miracle this was. To complete such a miracle, just how astonishing of courage, ability, courage, and indispensable luck was needed.

Ever since dinner, the six of them had reviewed the matter countless times. Each time, they could see even more details that had been overlooked. In the end, all that was left was amazement and disbelief.

Only the pretty boy Li Yuchen was disdainful. “Tch, what’s so great about that? It’s just luck.”

Uncle Jie and the others tried to teach him, but Li Yuchen refused to listen.

“He was just lucky!”

“It’s fake! He directed and acted it out himself!”

“The light on his body was clearly his own doing. He probably found a guy and used some method to shine himself from afar.”

“He was just fooling some stupid people. What’s the big deal?”

“Is he that noble? He’s definitely pretending.”

“Bah! A hypocrite! I must expose him!”

This was also the reason why they came here.

“Look! Look! He tricked the girl into going in!”

“You guys didn’t believe that he’s a hypocrite!”

“Wow, look at that innocent little girl. She fell into the clutches of the devil just like that!”

“That troublemaker must have planned this for a long time. He’s just waiting for today to put on a show and trick this inexperienced girl into sleeping with him.”

“No!”

Li Yuchen suddenly felt a sense of justice: “I can’t just sit back and watch this innocent girl fall into the hands of this devil. I want to save her.”

He jumped up. The words “hero saving the damsel in distress” were almost written on his face.

For the first time, Uncle Jie strongly felt that the governor-general’s decision to send Young Master here was wrong. “Young Master, look, she’s already out!”

“Huh?”

Li Yuchen focused his gaze and happened to see Lin Wen push Ji Fuxiao out. Then, with a bang, the door closed in front of the girl’s nose.

“This?”

Li Yuchen was instantly in a mess. He watched as the girl pounded on the door for a while, then left in disappointment while wiping her tears. He felt as if his long-held values had exploded.

In order to restore his own values, Li Yuchen quickly found an excuse. “He’s definitely done. This demon’s cold and cruel personality is displayed. He ignored the little girl’s pleading and forcefully locked her out of the door!”

Uncle Jie felt his arm was throbbing. If this was his child, he would have sent him flying with a slap as far as he could.

He still had a glimmer of hope and tried to reason with him.

“Her clothes are all neat. Even if he had moved at the speed of light, he couldn’t have stripped her in time. Moreover, if an ignorant girl had fallen into the clutches of a demon, she would naturally wish to leave as soon as possible. Why would she beg to stay?”

Li Yuchen immediately became mute. No matter how much he racked his brains, he still couldn’t figure it out. There were always things that didn’t make sense.

In the end, he could only snort. “Hmph, just a shameless gold digger and a shameless hypocrite. They’re not worth our time.”
