Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005

Lin Chen saw Ling Zi actually stabbing toward his treasure and was instantly displeased.

"Watch the sword!" Ling Zi's eyes involuntarily narrowed.

Ling Zi's sword, gleaming with cold light, slashed toward the area between Lin Chen's legs.

At first, Ling Zi thought Lin Chen would dodge, but she never imagined that he wouldn't dodge or evade, and even reached toward the incoming sword.

"Is this kid seeking death?" Ling Zi was suddenly startled.

One must know that Lin Chen's action was basically seeking death. Ling Zi wanted to retract her sword, but it was too late.

"Brother Chen." Upon seeing this scene, Ye Zi's heart tightened.

However, in the next second, something bizarre happened.

There was a flicker of a human figure, and Ling Zi's sword suddenly disappeared.

"How is this possible?"

"Where is my sword, where is my sword?" Ling Zi's face was unpleasant as she looked at her empty hands.

"Are you looking for this?" Lin Chen, holding Ling Zi's katana, said with a cold smile.

"How did my sword end up in your hands?" Ling Zi said with a sullen face.

Lin Chen chuckled lightly: "You're too inexperienced with swords; let me show you how a sword should be played."

With that, the sword in Lin Chen's hand flashed like lightning toward Ling Zi.

Seeing the cold gleam attacking, Ling Zi's face changed immediately.

She wanted to dodge, but she found that all her angles were blocked by the opponent.

Ling Zi felt as if she was enveloped by countless sword lights, with no place to hide.

In a panic, Ling Zi's foot stepped on a small stone, causing her body to uncontrollably lean backward.

Lin Chen initially intended to stop it there, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect an expert in martial arts to make such a rookie mistake.

Originally, Lin Chen had carefully measured his control, but with her leaning back, the sword light flashed directly toward Ling Zi's throat.

If this strike landed on Ling Zi, she would inevitably be dead.

Left with no choice, Lin Chen flipped his wrist, pressing downward.

The sword instantly changed direction, stabbing downward.

Though this stab avoided a fatal location, it sliced open Ling Zi's top from top to bottom.

Accompanied by the sound of cloth ripping, a large expanse of snow-white skin was revealed to Lin Chen.

"Whoa, this is too eye-catching." Lin Chen, holding the sword, was instantly dumbstruck.

The strike split Ling Zi's clothes from top to bottom, instantly exposing her upper body before Lin Chen.

"You, bastard!" Ling Zi was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red as she tightly covered her clothes with both hands and turned to run.

Holding the sword, Lin Chen was speechless: "Um, I didn't do it on purpose."

However, an icy voice echoed: "Just wait, I won't let you off."

Watching Ling Zi's retreating figure, Lin Chen felt a sense of grievance. If he hadn't withdrawn the sword just now, it wouldn't have been Ling Zi's clothes but her throat that would've been cut.

"Brother Chen, you really went too far this time." Ye Zi, pouting a bit, said with some disdain.

Lin Chen knew that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash this off. He tossed the sword to Ye Zi: "You were the one responsible, why did you make up something about me teaching you some breathing techniques?"

"I said you were teaching me breathing techniques, not to use a sword to rip Sister Ling Zi's clothes!" Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Lin Chen.

"If I hadn't cut her clothes, I would have cut her throat instead. Just go and return the sword to her, and remember to put in a good word for me." Lin Chen said helplessly.

"Got it." Ye Zi made a funny face and ran out with Ling Zi's sword.

As Ye Zi left, a Cadillac car parked at the door.

Once the car stopped, a woman with a commanding aura walked in.

Lin Chen's gaze was stunned instantly. The woman was wearing an all-black leather outfit and sunglasses, exuding a queen-like cool sister vibe.

Upon seeing her extraordinary looks, Lin Chen immediately recognized the woman as Jia Xiaoqing.

"Whoa, Miss Jia, I know I'm handsome and you adore me, but this is too much, chasing me all the way to the Island Nation." Lin Chen greeted with a smiling face.

"Tch, sorry, you're overthinking it. I have things to discuss with you." Jia Xiaoqing said coldly.

"Of course, there's something. You definitely miss me too much." Lin Chen said with a narcissistic look.

"Miss you? Lin Chen, you're too full of yourself. I just want you to treat me." Jia Xiaoqing said icily.

Lin Chen chuckled lightly: "You've got cold poison in your body. I noticed it the first time I saw you."

"If you noticed, why didn't you help me treat it?" Jia Xiaoqing retorted with anger.

Lin Chen looked at Jia Xiaoqing and said: "You didn't ask me to treat it, plus someone should have treated your cold poison before. If you had been patient, it shouldn't have flared up within three years. But you forcibly advanced your cultivation, causing the cold poison to break through its hold and suddenly flare up."

Jia Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly narrowed. Lin Chen actually spoke correctly about everything that happened to her.

"Can you treat my condition?" Jia Xiaoqing asked cautiously.

"Of course, I'm the Divine Doctor. This kind of ailment is a piece of cake!" Lin Chen said confidently.

"Great, little Divine Doctor, please help your big sister get better, okay?" Jia Xiaoqing gazed at Lin Chen with alluring eyes.

Seeing Jia Xiaoqing's seductive eyes, Lin Chen's heart got flustered, but he maintained a trace of clarity and said seriously: "Your charm doesn't work on me. If you want me to treat you, you must pay."

"Oh, what's the charge?" Jia Xiaoqing asked.

Lin Chen pondered for a while and said: "To completely cure your condition, you need continuous treatment, which means you'll have to stay at my place. Since we're both fellow citizens of China, it's two thousand a day, a seven-day course, and including medical fees, it's fifteen thousand."

Lin Chen was almost out of money, so he was in desperate need of earning some. Naturally, he wouldn't miss a wealthy patron like Jia Xiaoqing.

With this fifteen thousand, at least he wouldn't worry about money for a short time.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Jia Xiaoqing showed a surprised expression: "You actually need fifteen thousand to treat my illness?"

Lin Chen felt a bit guilty upon hearing that: "I'm giving you a twenty percent discount; no bargaining allowed."

Jia Xiaoqing chuckled lightly: "Fine, fifteen thousand it is."

"Then, let's shake on it, you better not back out." Lin Chen feared Jia Xiaoqing might suddenly back out, making his unexpected windfall vanish.

"Okay." Jia Xiaoqing stretched out her jade-like hand and hooked her finger with Lin Chen's.

Only then did Lin Chen breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Miss Jia, how much did you pay the last person who treated your cold poison?"

"Fifteen million." Jia Xiaoqing said calmly.

"What, fifteen million!" Lin Chen suddenly had the feeling of wanting to hit his head against the wall.

The previous person merely stabilized her condition, earning fifteen million, while he was going to cure her completely, yet only earning fifteen thousand. That was too much of a rip-off.

Seeing Lin Chen's dejected face, Jia Xiaoqing sweetly smiled: "Don't regret it, okay?"
