Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 489 - 486: More Than Friends, Less than Lovers! [Third Update]

Chapter 489: Chapter 486: More Than Friends, Less than Lovers! [Third Update]

"Brother Li Chen, look quickly. The incident from last night is on the news!"

Lan Huanxi pointed at the television screen and said to Li Chen beside her.

Last night at 21:37, a large fireworks manufacturing factory located at Yuhua Mountain exploded. The individuals involved have already been arrested and brought to justice. We urge the public not to maliciously spread rumors and to cooperate with the police to build a harmonious society!

Li Chen glanced at the news briefly before casually turning off the television.

"Huanxi, are you feeling better now?"

Lan Huanxi nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, much better!"

Li Chen nodded and said, "That’s good. For the recent period, stay with Chuxue. Unless it’s something urgent, don’t separate at all!"

Even though Lan Huanxi didn’t understand why Li Chen would say this, she obediently nodded her head.

"Okay, I’ll remember!"

Just then, the door of the hospital room creaked open.

Ye Chuxue entered, carrying breakfast.

"Huanxi, you’re all right now, aren’t you?"

"Sister Chuxue, I’m fine!"

Looking at Ye Chuxue’s bright smile, Lan Huanxi felt somewhat inexplicably guilty, as if she had done something wrong to her.

"It’s good you’re okay. I’ve bought your favorite breakfast; eat it while it’s hot!"

While speaking, Ye Chuxue handed the steaming breakfast to Lan Huanxi.

Lan Huanxi accepted the breakfast and whispered, "Sister Chuxue, thank you!"

Ye Chuxue took her hand and smiled sweetly: "Huanxi, you are Brother Li Chen’s biological sister, which means you’re my biological sister as well. Do we sisters need to be so formal with each other?"

After that, she smiled with her eyes and glanced at Li Chen beside her, saying, "Brother Li Chen, you tell me, am I right?"

Chinese culture is broad and profound.

With just a few simple words, Ye Chuxue had clearly defined the ambiguous relationship between Li Chen and Lan Huanxi that was "more than friendship but not yet lovers": siblings!

Li Chen felt somewhat uneasy under Ye Chuxue’s clear and pure gaze.

However, it wasn’t Lan Huanxi that made him feel guilty, it was Lian Hongshang.

Up until now, he hadn’t dared to tell Ye Chuxue about Lian Hongshang’s existence.

That girl was a jealous type. If she started being difficult, handling her would be as troublesome as handling ten Divine-level Masters. Even if he was the awe-inspiring Immortal Master Li of Huaxia, he’d still have to kneel in a minute.

Regarding Lan Huanxi, Li Chen indeed had no inappropriate thoughts. Just as Ye Chuxue said, he treated her like a real sister.

"Sister?"

Lan Huanxi mulled over these two words in her mouth, tasting their significance.

Suddenly, she felt that this might be the best place for her.

Being a daughter of a farming family, whether it was family background, personality, or talent, she could not compare to Ye Chuxue. To step back and accept the role of a sister, to accompany Li Chen at his side, this would be the greatest happiness bestowed upon her by life itself.

Heaven had already given her plenty, one must not be too greedy, and should learn to be content. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Thinking of all this, Lan Huanxi showed a relieved smile.

She looked up at Li Chen and called out to him in the coquettish tone of a sister to an older brother, "Brother!"

Li Chen gave a slight smile to Lan Huanxi, then turned to Ye Chuxue and said, "Chuxue, school is on break, and there’s nothing to do here. Let’s all go back to Donghua together!"

Ye Chuxue asked, "How many days will you be staying there?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "It’ll probably take about ten days to half a month, considering that the holidays are almost upon us. Let’s return to school after the Spring Festival!"

Lan Huanxi chimed in with a question, "Brother, what about the school curriculum?"

"Request leave!"

Having said that, Li Chen directly called the president of Jiangnan University to request leave for Ye Chuxue and Lan Huanxi.

After sorting out the leave, he took the chance when the two girls were at breakfast to handle Lan Huanxi’s hospital discharge procedures.

Once all that was settled, Li Chen thought for a moment and then made a call to the Vermilion Bird.

"Li Chen, are you seriously planning to make a move against the Bashu Tang Sect and the Central Continent Yuann Family?"

The Vermilion Bird still wanted to do her utmost to persuade Li Chen not to act impulsively.

The Central Continent Yuann Family and the Bashu Tang Sect were among Huaxia’s top aristocratic families.

Especially the former, with a legacy spanning a thousand years since the Prime Tang, possesses a foundation so formidable that it far exceeds common understanding.

Early last century, the Yuann Family even produced an Emperor, whose influence towered above the other Great Families, establishing them as the undeniable overlord of Huaxia.

To counter the Yuann Family, nearly half of Huaxia’s aristocratic families joined forces, raising an army of millions, and only just managed to bring this behemoth down.

Since then, although the Yuann Family has been in decline, the once powerful does not falter easily. After laying low for half a century, they remain one of Huaxia’s top noble families.

If Li Chen and the Yan Mountain Li Family were to combine forces, there might be a chance to topple the Yuann Family.

But with only Li Chen alone, no matter how brilliant he is, trying to overthrow the Yuann Family would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.

However, Li Chen outright ignored Vermilion Bird’s well-intended advice, angering her enough to stamp her feet in frustration and inwardly curse at Li Chen. He had completely disregarded her kind intentions as if they were nothing but wasted effort.

At noon that very day, Li Chen acquired a military Humvee and personally drove Lan Huanxi and Ye Chuxue back to Donghua.

For safety reasons, he took the two of them straight to the Cloud Mist Mountain Villa.

After returning to the villa, it was already dusk.

Li Chen pointed to a dozen vacant rooms and said, "Huanxi, settle down here for now and pick a room for yourself."

Though not her first visit, Lan Huanxi still felt uneasy, appearing out of place in this environment.

If this villa were a palace, then Ye Chuxue would be the noble princess, while she’d just be a somewhat lucky Cinderella herself.

Ye Chuxue seemed to read Lan Huanxi’s mind and stepped forward, taking her hand with a smile, "Huanxi, come sleep with me!"

"That way, we can chat and whisper in the night!"

Faced with Ye Chuxue’s gracious invitation, Lan Huanxi naturally couldn’t refuse.

"Brother Li Chen, I’ll take Huanxi to see the rooms first, but don’t forget to cook us dinner!"

With that said, Ye Chuxue pulled Lan Huanxi along to her own room.

Watching the two girls walk away laughing and talking, Li Chen smiled and shook his head.

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

A little lolita, with crystal-clear bare feet and an exquisitely carved figure, each step blooming like a lotus, emerged from the painting...

Due to the website’s planned listing on the 8th of this month, some of Little Le’s Chapters have been mercilessly censored for violating rules. I’ve been busy revising them all day, which has been quite hectic. If I release them now, there might be some confusion with the Chapter order. However, these are minor issues that will not affect reading. I just wanted to inform all readers and ask for your understanding, thank you!
