Chapter 796: Chapter 796

Elcar's eyes flashed menacingly as he reached out with his right hand toward Lin Chen's throat.

Just as his hand was about to grasp Lin Chen's neck, it was suddenly caught by Lin Chen.

Immediately, Lin Chen sent out a palm strike that heavily landed on Elcar's chest.

Elcar's body flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall before slamming down onto the floor.

"How is this possible!" Elcar spat out blood as he stood up from the ground, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

"You clearly were hit by my Rejuvenation Powder, why can you still move?" Elcar asked as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Your poison is colorless and tasteless, indeed difficult to guard against, but unfortunately, I am immune to poison."

As soon as Lin Chen had entered the room, he had noticed something was off and had directly filtered out the toxin he had inhaled.

Lin Chen got up from the couch and walked towards Elcar, "I killed your brother because he wanted to kill me. You vampires who dare to commit crimes on our Chinese soil deserve to die."

Just as Lin Chen was about to grab Elcar, the door suddenly opened, and Li Yuqing walked in.

"Damn it!" Lin Chen's face changed upon seeing Li Yuqing enter.

As soon as she was inside, Li Yuqing fainted from the toxin in the room.

Taking advantage of the moment Lin Chen's gaze turned towards Li Yuqing, Elcar quickly rushed to the window and jumped out.

Lin Chen didn't have time to chase after Elcar; he hurried over to Li Yuqing's side instead.

To deal with Lin Chen, Elcar had increased the concentration of the room's toxin several times over, causing Li Yuqing's body to react immediately upon exposure.

Her pretty face turned bright red, her eyes were glazed, and her whole body was burning hot like a furnace.

Lin Chen quickly carried Li Yuqing to the bed and pressed several acupoints on her body.

However, Li Yuqing's symptoms of poisoning did not decrease at all.

"Human Qi System, why isn't it working?" Lin Chen anxiously asked.

The Human Qi System said in a rather strange tone, "The poison in Li Yuqing comes from the exotic Rejuvenation Flower; there are no antidotes or solutions available."

"What?" Lin Chen was shocked upon hearing the words from the Human Qi System.

"Is there any way to save her?" Seeing Li Yuqing's pained expression, Lin Chen was extremely anxious.

"There is only one way; only an opposite-sex body can detoxify her," the Human Qi System said with a somewhat strange tone.

Lin Chen was indeed no gentleman, but he was not the type to take advantage of others in peril.

"Is there really no other way?" Lin Chen inquired.

The system stated flatly, "You have three minutes to consider; if you do not act, her body will start to decay."

"Fuck, what kind of poison is this, if I catch that guy, I definitely need to get some from him," Lin Chen muttered.

Lin Chen looked at Li Yuqing, whose face was flush with red, and his face showed a trace of helplessness.

"Yuqing, I'm sorry, whether you hit me or scold me afterwards doesn't matter, but I can't just watch you die in front of me."

With that, Lin Chen threw himself on Li Yuqing's body.

At that moment, Li Yuqing was like ignited flames meeting dry kindling. As soon as their bodies touched, they burst into passionate flames.

Lin Chen had to marvel at the fierceness of the drug; the two struggled until they were both exhausted, and only then did Li Yuqing fall into a deep sleep.

If it weren't for my brother's strength, if my brother hadn't practiced, this poison truly couldn't have been cured.

Lin Chen's clothes had been completely torn, and his shoulders and body were covered with scratches and bite marks.

Looking at Li Yuqing, who had fallen into a deep sleep, Lin Chen's mind was still echoing with the intense scene between them just a moment ago, but he also felt a bit troubled about how to explain it to Yuqing later.

Soon, Lin Chen, holding Li Yuqing, fell asleep as well.

In the morning, a ray of sunlight passed through the window lattice, awakening Li Yuqing from her sleep.

Seeing the man beside her, she first paused, then a shy smile appeared on her face.

Although she had been in a daze yesterday, she still retained a faint memory of what had happened.

At that moment, Lin Chen also opened his eyes and saw Li Yuqing staring at him, causing his face to slightly change.

Before Lin Chen could explain, Li Yuqing placed her hand over his mouth.

"Chen, you don't need to explain anything. I'm happy to be your woman. Maybe it's fate. My only regret is how quickly time passes. Can you hold me a bit longer?" Li Yuqing said tenderly.

Lin Chen, looking at the blush on Li Yuqing's cheeks, nodded, and the two embraced each other once more.

Then, Lin Chen suddenly remembered something important—a match with the people from the Pharmacist faction at nine o'clock.

Lin Chen suddenly sat up and looked at the time; it was already 8:30.

"Oh no, I got too carried away yesterday, nearly forgetting about something important."

"Yuqing, sorry, I still have some things to take care of. When I return, we can continue..." Lin Chen said, feeling somewhat embarrassed himself.

Li Yuqing nodded understandingly: "I'll wait for you to come back."

Like a dutiful wife, she took clothes out of the wardrobe for Lin Chen and helped him get dressed.

Lin Chen almost ran all the way out of the villa, heading straight for Bai Cao Tang.

At that moment, inside the reception room at Bai Cao Tang, two rows of people were seated. At the head sat an elderly man with graying hair, and seated next to him on one side was Mu Yusen, with his disciple Yue Qun sitting across from him.

Behind Yue Qun stood a young man in a white suit, who was extremely handsome with skin as smooth as porcelain. At a glance, he looked almost as delicate as a woman.

This man was none other than Yue Qun's disciple, Li Meng, who at only twenty-one was already a four-star Pharmacist and a key focus of the Pharmacist Sect's training.

Because of this, he had an arrogant look about him, his neck tilted back, exuding a confident air.

Yue Qun, with a cold smile, looked at Mu Yusen. "Senior brother, it looks like the person you called is scared to show up. I really think there's no need for a match; my disciple Li Meng has no equal among his peers."

Mu Yusen responded coldly, "There are many extraordinary people in the world, junior brother. Don't speak too soon. There are still two minutes left; what's the rush?"

Though he spoke confidently, Mu Yusen was feeling a bit nervous inside.

If Lin Chen didn't show up, he would have to let Mu Feng fight, which would undoubtedly be a losing battle.

"Fine, I'd like to see who you could possibly bring to match my disciple," Yue Qun huffed.

When the clock struck nine, Elder from the Pharmacist Sect spoke coldly: "Time is up, please send out your contestants."

Li Meng stepped forward confidently, "Elder Sun, I will fight on behalf of my master."

Seeing Li Meng, Elder Sun could not hide his admiration, nodding: "Good, good!"

Mu Yusen, looking towards the door, sighed helplessly: "Feng'er, you go."

Yue Qun sneered coldly, "I guess the person you invited heard my disciple's name and got scared. Senior brother, there's really no need for this match."

"Scared? I, Lin Chen, have never known the meaning of fear!" Just then, Lin Chen walked in from outside.
