Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 495: Chapter 492: Ten Miles of Fireworks Can’t Compare to You! [Third Update at Midnight]

The New Year’s bells had already rung, and Ye Chuxue was idly resting her cheek on one hand, bored as she watched the splendid fireworks outside the window.

"Xue’er!"

Ye Chuxue tilted her head and seeing it was Li Chen returning, her beautiful eyes beamed with excitement.

She broke into a smile that made the splendid ten miles of fireworks pale in comparison.

"Brother Li Chen, when did you get back?"

"Just got back, it’s already midnight, why haven’t you slept yet?"

Ye Chuxue extended her finger towards the window and said, "I’m watching the fireworks!"

Li Chen followed the direction of her finger and asked, "Do you like fireworks?"

Ye Chuxue’s eyes twinkled with a smile, "Of course, I love them! Don’t you?"

"Wait for me a moment!"

After saying that, Li Chen stepped out and made a phone call to Du Meng.

Du Meng, already drunk, sat up with a jolt as soon as he received Li Chen’s call.

"Stop drinking, everyone go find fireworks, get as many as you can and set them off in the square!"

It must be said, his efficiency was very high. In less than fifteen minutes, he managed to clear out the inventory of several nearby fireworks factories.

"Xue’er, let’s go to the rooftop!"

After saying that, Li Chen, without further explanation, grabbed Ye Chuxue’s hand and headed to the rooftop.

"Pop!"

The splendid fireworks burst open in the air, blooming and transforming into thousands of petals that adorned the starry sky. Lastly, they gradually turned into a cluster of brilliant starlight waterfall, slowly cascading down, stunning beyond measure.

Ye Chuxue was astounded by the citywide fireworks, her beautiful eyes blankly watching the night sky, looking at Li Chen’s eyes filled with smiles.

Li Chen gave a devilishly charming smile and asked, "Xue’er, isn’t it beautiful?"

Ye Chuxue nodded her head vigorously like a pecking chicken.

"No fireworks are as beautiful as your smile!"

As he spoke, Li Chen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Ye Chuxue’s slender waist.

Soon, their lips met and they passionately kissed.

...

The next day!

Li Chen had woken up early, while Ye Chuxue was still immersed in her sweet dreams.

He carefully withdrew his arm, fearing that he might accidentally disturb her beautiful dream.

He stood at the bedside and quietly stared for a while before gently leaving the room.

At this moment, Tang Lan was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Seeing Li Chen come out, she smiled and asked, "Chen, you’re up. Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?"

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Tang, I want to ask you a few questions!"

"What questions?"

"About my parents!"

Hearing this, Tang Lan’s movements suddenly stopped.

"What do you want to know?"

Li Chen pleaded, "Please tell me everything you know about my parents!"

Tang Lan paused briefly and said, "Alright, Chen, you’ve grown up now. It’s time you knew some things!"

For the next hour, Tang Lan told Li Chen everything she knew.

Her account matched mostly with what Tang Qingyang and Golden Cauldron True Man had said.

Li Chen was only half-convinced by what Golden Cauldron True Man had told him.

He could believe about seventy percent of what Tang Qingyang said.

But he completely trusted what Aunt Tang said.

"By the way, Chen, there’s something else that might have been left by your parents, and I’ve kept it safely up until now. Take a look, is it of any use?"

While speaking, Tang Lan took out a black iron figurine from an age-old wooden chest beneath her bed, which seemed like it was from the Pre-Qin Period.

Li Chen took the ancient iron figurine. It had seals on it.

He forcibly broke the seals with his thoughts, and three small seal script characters suddenly leapt out from it.

King, Yan, Order!

Now Li Chen finally understood why those mysterious people in his previous life wanted to mercilessly attack a common family like Aunt Tang’s.

It turned out the root was this Yama Order!

It seemed that this Yama Order must have been decreed by the Heavenly Net to his parents.

Once his parents received this piece of Yama Order, knowing they could not escape this catastrophe, they entrusted him to the care of Aunt Tang’s family.

What he couldn’t understand now was, what role did the Imperial Capital Li Family play in the entire event?

Given his father was the legitimate direct descendant of the Li Family, staying at Yan Mountain. Not only was it the stronghold of the Li Family, but it also had a hundred thousand troops stationed there year-round. Wasn’t it safer than any other place? Why then did his parents have to hide and seek refuge?

Tang Lan seemed to see the confusion in Li Chen’s heart and said: "Chen, actually your parents didn’t entrust you to me, they left in a hurry and asked me to help send you to the Imperial Capital Li Family!"

Li Chen still had some memory of this matter.

He went to the Imperial City with Aunt Tang and Chuxue, but they never even got through the doors of the Li Family home, and were chased away by a few abusive servants.

After that, Aunt Tang brought him back home, treating him as her own ever since.

Back then, he was still engulfed in the shadow of his parents’ death. He was listless and did not take that matter to heart.

Tang Lan gave Li Chen a slight smile, trying to console him: "Chen, what’s past is past. Don’t overthink it, things are quite good as they are now!"

Just then, Ye Chuxue rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room.

"Mom, what did you say is quite good?"

Li Chen and Aunt Tang exchanged a look, signaling her not to tell Chuxue everything just yet.

Tang Lan understood, switching to a lighter tone, she said to Ye Chuxue, "What else could it be, of course, it’s about the two of you!"

Ye Chuxue blinked and looked at Li Chen, "About the two of us?"

Tang Lan nodded, saying, "Yes, we’re planning to betroth you two. After you both graduate, you can get married. Xue, what do you think?"

Ye Chuxue’s face turned red as she coyly said, "Mom, what are you talking about, who’s going to marry him?"

"If not marrying Li Chen, who would you marry?"

"Marry... myself!"

Having said so, Ye Chuxue ran towards Tang Lan like a child.

"Mom, I’m hungry, it’s Spring Festival today, is there any meat to eat?"

"You little glutton, what will you do if you get fat and Li Chen doesn’t want you anymore?"

"He wouldn’t dare!"

Before Aunt Tang could finish speaking, Ye Chuxue glared at Li Chen with round eyes, questioning him with her gaze, daring him not to keep her.

Li Chen was startled and slapped the back of his head, saying, "I suddenly forgot, I haven’t brushed my teeth, I’ll go brush my teeth first!"

Before he could finish his words, he ran off.

Ye Chuxue pouted, saying, "Mom, I don’t want meat anymore, I want vegetables and fruits!"

Tang Lan, astonished, asked, "Why not?"

Ye Chuxue pouted towards Li Chen’s retreating back and said, "Humph, didn’t you see? Someone got scared off."

Tang Lan: "..."
