Chapter 229: Alice’s Difficult Path of Revenge
After returning to the living room, Ji Menglan and Ah Qing were there, and the maids had already placed dinner on the table.
Seeing Jiang Che return, Ah Qing’s face lit up with joy. She ran to his side, feeling the terrifying aura and powerful energy fluctuations emanating from him.
“Young Master, did you break through again?” Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, then asked in a somewhat dazed manner.
She felt that the word “genius” was not enough to describe her young master. His cultivation speed was simply too fast!
“Yes, I had a bit of an epiphany, and then I broke through.” Jiang Che nodded, speaking very matter-of-factly.
“What is your current cultivation level?” Ji Menglan, who was nearby, also walked up to Jiang Che, looking him up and down with a very curious expression.
After spending some time with Jiang Che, she had realized that breakthroughs for this man were as easy as drinking water.
“Not high, barely reached the late Man and Heaven stage.” Jiang Che said calmly, without any emotional fluctuations on his face, as if he had done something trivial.
Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Ji Menglan’s mouth twitched, and she gave Jiang Che a speechless look.
Barely the late Man and Heaven stage?
She remembered when she was first brought here by Jiang Che, he was only at the peak of the Transformation stage. Now, in just over a month, he had directly broken through to the late Man and Heaven stage?
Did he not have any bottlenecks in his breakthroughs?
Moreover, she had never seen Jiang Che practice seriously. Could it be that he was also using the Star Devourint Technique to improve his cultivation?
Thinking this, Ji Menglan felt somewhat relieved. After all, she couldn’t think of any other explanation.
“Aren’t you feeling unwell?” Jiang Che frowned and scanned Ji Menglan a few times, asking in a playful tone.
“Hmph, of course not. My physique is excellent!” Sensing the teasing in Jiang Che’s tone, Ji Menglan puffed out her chest and said proudly.
Although she was still feeling unwell, she would never admit it to Jiang Che! She wasn’t the type to back down. She, Ji Menglan, would never bow to Jiang Che!
“Is that so? Then shall we continue playing house?” Jiang Che said with a bit of amusement, knowing full well that this woman was incredibly stubborn.
“No, I don’t want to play anymore…” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Ji Menglan was startled and quickly shook her head.
She had developed a psychological shadow. Even if she were to play doubles with Jiang Che again, it would have to be after a few days. She needed to recover her body first. Otherwise, she would always end up losing to Jiang Che.
Jiang Che didn’t say anything more and directly sat at the dining table to start eating dinner. After dinner, Jiang Che read a book in the study for a while and then returned to his bedroom.
As soon as he turned on the bedroom light, he sensed something was off. Frowning, he looked around the empty bedroom and sneered.
“Come out, I already noticed you. If you dare to come to my bedroom in the middle of the night, why hide?” Following his words, a woman’s figure emerged from behind the curtains by the floor-to-ceiling window.
She had blonde hair, blue eyes, a hot figure, and even in her night attire, her perfect body was evident. Her legs were long and straight, and her ample chest created a strong visual impact.
However, her face was expressionless, looking extremely cold, with undisguised killing intent in her eyes. This woman was the long-missing Alice.
“Why are you here?” Seeing her, Jiang Che was taken aback and asked with a strange expression.
Since the last time she had tried to assassinate him and he had captured her, Jiang Che hadn’t seen her for over a month. He thought she had already left Linjiang City, but she showed up again tonight.
“I’m here to take your life!” Alice’s eyes were cold as she looked at Jiang Che. She drew a dagger from her waist and in a flash, was in front of Jiang Che, aiming for his heart.
Jiang Che grabbed Alice’s wrist, his expression turning strange because he sensed that her cultivation had improved again!
Last time she was at the early Transformation stage, but now she had reached the mid Transformation stage. Could it be that she turned her grief into motivation, training hard just to take revenge on him?
Then he would defeat her again and teach her a lesson? This plot seemed a bit clichéd…
“Let go of me!” Alice tried several times to pull her hand back from Jiang Che’s grip, but all in vain. She could only stare at Jiang Che coldly, hoping to intimidate him with her gaze.
“You want me to let go just because you say so? That would be too easy.” Jiang Che sneered, snatched the dagger from Alice’s hand, and tossed it aside, then lifted her delicate chin.
“What are you doing!” Alice stared back at Jiang Che without any fear, her eyes full of anger.
“Nothing, just that you intrigue me.” Jiang Che said playfully and threw Alice onto the bed.
…
Under the high-hanging moon and the starry night sky, outside the Li Family villa, Li Tian’s fingers twitched, and he quickly opened his eyes.
He slowly got up from the bushes, feeling his injuries, and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. The pain from his arm made his face contort.
His face was pale, and he looked very uncomfortable. Because he hadn’t been taken to the hospital to treat his injuries, his arm continued to bleed. Now, with most of his blood lost, he was close to passing out…
Due to severe blood loss, Li Tian’s steps were extremely unsteady. He wiped the dust off his face, his expression filled with anger.
All of today’s events were thanks to that young man. If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t be in such a miserable state! The most frustrating part was that he didn’t even know who that young man was, not even his name.
Just because he had mocked him a few times, the young man had been so ruthless, making Li Tian very unhappy.
“Just wait, I won’t let you off!” Vowing in his heart, Li Tian left.
It was clear that the Li Family was no longer suitable for him. If he went back now, he would only be ridiculed by the Li Family members.
The immediate priority was to treat his injuries. Once he was healed, he would return to the Li Family when the time was right.
Before he left the mountain, his master had given him some money, so finding a place to stay wouldn’t be difficult.
