Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004

"Who is Ling Zi?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Ling Zi is my personal bodyguard. I don't know how she found her way here," Ye Zi said gloomily.

"Personal bodyguard?" Lin Chen suddenly started to understand.

No wonder he recently felt that there was a mysterious person always following them around. At first, Lin Chen thought it was someone out to kill Ye Zi, so he stayed on guard. Unexpectedly, it was Ye Zi's bodyguard.

"Didn't you say you had no one to rely on?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, Ling Zi is my bodyguard, but she always appears and disappears like a ghost. I usually can't even see her," Ye Zi said.

Lin Chen quickly stopped his hands and said, "You'd better get up and put your clothes on first."

Ye Zi hurriedly sat up from the bed and just as she was about to zip up, the zipper broke in her haste.

"Ye Zi, what are you doing in there? I'm coming in," Ling Zi said coldly.

"Sister, wait a moment; I'll be right out," Ye Zi said while winking at Lin Chen.

"Hurry up. If you're not out by the time I count to ten, I'm coming in," Ling Zi's voice was icy.

"Five, six..." Ling Zi's countdown was halfway done, yet Lin Chen still hadn't made a move.

"Brother Chen, hurry up, can you do it or not?" Ye Zi said anxiously.

"Stop worrying about that, just do it quickly," Ye Zi whispered.

"Seven, eight..." Ling Zi's countdown was nearing its end, and Lin Chen seemed to hear the sound of a blade being unsheathed.

"Damn, the person outside isn't kidding around," Lin Chen thought with a chill.

"Brother Chen, hurry, Ling Zi is about to come in," Ye Zi also heard the sound of the blade outside and urged anxiously.

At this moment, Ye Zi seemed a bit nervous too. She knew Ling Zi's temper very well—if she saw her being compromised, she definitely wouldn't let it go.

Lin Chen rubbed his hands together and finally reached towards her butt.

"Brother Chen, hurry! Ling Zi is about to come in."

Lin Chen's hand darted in quickly, and with a light flick, the trapped undergarment slipped out from the clothing. Immediately, Lin Chen hurriedly zipped up Ye Zi's zipper.

Almost simultaneously, the door was kicked open with a bang, and a woman in black dashed in like lightning.

Her speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, her sword was already at Lin Chen's neck.

"What exactly did you do to Ye Zi?" Ling Zi said coldly, staring at Lin Chen.

"I didn't do anything, just teaching her kung fu," Lin Chen blurted out.

"Yeah, Sister Ling Zi, Brother Chen is teaching me kung fu," Ye Zi cooperated with Lin Chen.

"Kung fu? What kind of kung fu?" Ling Zi looked at the two of them suspiciously.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, Ling Zi suddenly stopped him, "No need for you to say. Let Miss Ye Zi speak."

She shifted her gaze to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi looked at Ling Zi and suddenly said, "Lin Chen just taught me the art of breathing exercises, circulating qi through the Dantian and then exhaling it. I was right in the middle of it, and interrupting it could harm the body."

Upon hearing Ye Zi's words, Lin Chen was dumbfounded. Damn, she's a genius—the art of breathing exercises, too clever.

Ling Zi snorted coldly, "What art of breathing exercises? It's all a sham."

Ye Zi pretended to be aggrieved, "I find it very useful. Following the breathing exercise method, I feel my breath is more balanced."

"Hmph, Chinese kung fu is all flashy but useless, nothing but a façade," Ling Zi sneered dismissively.

"Hey, who says Chinese kung fu is just a façade?" Listening to Ling Zi, Lin Chen was a bit displeased.

"What? Are you unconvinced?" Ling Zi shot Lin Chen a sidelong glance.

Lin Chen snorted coldly, "Of course I'm unconvinced. China's five-thousand-year civilization—you Island Nation people have only a few hundred years of history, and you dare say our Chinese kung fu is just for show."

"Hmph, if you're not convinced, you can try," Ling Zi said coldly.

"Fine, I'll show you what real Chinese kung fu is," Lin Chen decided to teach this ignorant Island Nation girl a lesson.

"Hahaha, great! I want to see who is more powerful between Brother Chen and Sister Ling," Ye Zi eagerly applauded.

Looking at the excited Ye Zi, Lin Chen was speechless—this was all the girl's fault, and now she was just watching the show.

Ling Zi snorted coldly, "Reckless fool." As soon as she finished speaking, she shot forward like lightning.

She was like lightning striking from the sky, her knife forming a chilling beam, surging downward with momentum.

This strike was fast and fierce, almost blocking all of Lin Chen's retreat.

In just a few seconds, Ling Zi had already swung over a dozen times.

The astonishing speed of her strikes and the momentum behind them left Lin Chen taken aback.

Though her knife speed was swift, Lin Chen's speed was even faster.

At first, Ling Zi held back, afraid of hurting Lin Chen. But in the end, she gave her all and still couldn't handle Lin Chen.

What made Ling Zi even angrier was that while dodging her strikes, Lin Chen's mouth didn't rest.

"Your strikes are too slow. Are you practicing snail knife techniques?"

"Man, can you even call this knife work? It's pathetic. Our village's pig-slaughtering technique is better."

"All show, no power. This knife technique is the trash of the trash."

Hearing Lin Chen's teasing remarks, Ling Zi was almost exploding with anger.

After slashing over a dozen times and seeing Lin Chen effortlessly dodge them, Ling Zi was finally enraged.

"You jerk, is dodging all you can do? Are you even a man?" Ling Zi shouted angrily.

"Go to hell!" This time, Ling Zi's strike aimed fiercely at Lin Chen's crotch.

"Whoa, that's way too vicious," Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, finally deciding to fight back.
