NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2:
Chapter 2: Liu Ruyan Gets Angry:
Outside the door.
At this moment, following the soft voice, a young woman in a light blue dress approached gracefully. Her figure was enchanting, her features breathtakingly beautiful, and she radiated an ethereal charm.
She was none other than Liu Ruyan, an inner disciple of the Holy Land and the junior martial sister.
It had to be said—her slender, curvaceous figure, paired with her long, jade-like legs and stunning face, made it no surprise that the original owner was utterly captivated by her, acting like a loyal lapdog.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan noticed Su Chen staring at her long legs, and her brows furrowed slightly.
“Senior Brother Su Chen, I need a Heaven-Tier Breakthrough Pill,” she said.
“I need it now.”
“Give it to me quickly.”
Liu Ruyan looked at Su Chen, her tone carrying an undeniable sense of command.
In her mind, Su Chen had always obeyed her every word, treating her like a goddess. There was no way this time would be any different.
After all, wasn’t playing with this senior brother as easy as… well, playing with a toy?
She only wanted to get the pill quickly so she could leave and give it to her beloved Brother Cai Kun.
Right now, Brother Cai Kun needed the pill for a critical breakthrough.
As Liu Ruyan finished speaking, Su Chen frowned impatiently and said, “No.”
“What did you say?” Liu Ruyan’s brows knitted together as she thought she had misheard.
Did Su Chen just refuse her?
Impossible!
Had she heard wrong?
The senior brother who always listened to her, spoiled her, and obeyed her every wish… actually refused her???!!
Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, and then she softened her tone slightly.
“Senior Brother Su Chen,” she coaxed, “I know you’re still upset about last time.”
“You gave me spirit stones, and I promised to spend time with you.”
“But you know how it is, Senior Brother…”
“The elder had something urgent to discuss with me, so I couldn’t come…”
“Now, if you give me the breakthrough pill, I’ll make it up to you next time, okay?”
Liu Ruyan looked at Su Chen with pitiful, pleading eyes.
However, Su Chen only sneered inwardly.
According to his memories, the moment Liu Ruyan got the spirit stones last time, she immediately ran to Cai Kun and gave them to him.
It had absolutely nothing to do with any elder calling for her.
“Heh…”
“I said no. Do you not understand human language?” Su Chen repeated impatiently.
Then—BANG!
He slammed the door shut right in her face.
“Idiot!”
“BANG!!!”
If someone wanted to be a lapdog, they were welcome to it.
But he was done!
Outside the door, Liu Ruyan stood in shock, staring at the tightly shut door.
Her delicate face was filled with disbelief.
“!!!!????!!!”
Was this really the same Su Chen who used to obey her every word?
He actually dared to treat her like this?!
This was impossible—something had gone wrong somewhere!
In the past, whenever she came to find Senior Brother Su Chen, wouldn’t he always rush over, smiling eagerly, fawning over her and coaxing her with sweet words?
What the hell was going on now?
Not only had he refused her request, but he had also slammed the door in her face.
And just now… it seemed like he even insulted her?!
Liu Ruyan suddenly felt wronged, and her eyes became misty with unshed tears.
“Hmph!”
“Su Chen, just you wait!”
“I’m punishing you by not talking to you for half a day!”
“Let’s see if you can endure it!”
“There’s no way I can’t handle you!”
Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.
She decided to ignore Su Chen for now.
Once a few days passed and he came begging her for forgiveness… then… hmph… she’d make him regret it.
…
Meanwhile, inside the room, Su Chen smirked as he leaned against the door.
“A Heaven-Tier Breakthrough Pill?”
“Give it to you? Keep dreaming!”
He went back to his bed, lay down, and began recalling the plot.
[Ding! Detected host deviating from the original plot. Reward: One Enlightenment Opportunity, Mental Strength +10!]
[Enlightenment? Mental Strength?]
Su Chen’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“BOOM!”
He suddenly felt his mental strength surge dramatically.
It was as if he could see through all the mysteries of the world, as if he could perceive the essence of all things.
Not bad!
No need to cultivate—just slacking off earns mental strength and breakthroughs.
This kind of life was too damn good!
And now, with an Enlightenment Opportunity, it was even better!
Feeling pleased, Su Chen couldn’t help but hum a tune.
“Slacking off makes me stronger… what a great feeling!”
He closed his eyes and continued sorting through his memories.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind—a woman dressed in white, exuding a cold and noble aura.
Ye Qingxue…
An outer disciple.
Her talent was also extraordinary—she was a once-in-a-century genius in swordsmanship.
Su Chen’s eyes snapped open, and a complex emotion flickered in them.
In his previous life, after he was betrayed and killed by Liu Ruyan and Cai Kun, only Ye Qingxue had mourned for him.
She cried at his grave for several days and nights.
Then, she drew her sword and avenged him…
And perished alongside his enemies.
“Sigh…”
Su Chen let out a deep sigh, feeling a mix of emotions.
That foolish girl… what a pity.
Since they were destined to cross paths in this life, he would make sure to help her.
Even if it was just to make up for what had happened before.
…
Meanwhile.
Liu Ruyan had returned to her own residence.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.
Her delicate face was filled with disbelief.
“How could Senior Brother Su Chen treat me like this?”
“Just because I refused his confession once?”
But…
In the past, wasn’t he always willing to do anything for her?
“Wu wu wu…!!”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Senior Brother is really so petty!”
All she did last time was turn him down and go to Brother Cai Kun instead…
Yet now, he was retaliating against her in such a cold manner?
“Hmph!”
Liu Ruyan puffed up her cheeks angrily.
Then, she repeated to herself what she had said earlier:
“Su Chen will definitely come running to me soon!”
“There’s no way I can’t handle him!”
“I’ll punish him by not talking to him for half a day!”
“Let’s see how long he can endure it!”
…
Time passed second by second.
Liu Ruyan kept glancing at the door every few moments.
Yet to her disappointment…
Su Chen never showed up.
This made her furious.
“Why isn’t Senior Brother Su Chen here to coax me yet?!”
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
She bit her lip.
“Could it be… that he really doesn’t like me anymore?”
“Impossible!”
“He used to love me so much!”
Liu Ruyan shook her head violently, pushing that thought away.
She refused to believe it.
There was no way Su Chen could hold out for long!
…
But even after waiting the whole night, with faint dark circles under her eyes…
Su Chen still hadn’t come to find her.
“HMPH!!!”
