I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Li Chen, Li Zhaohuang, what's wrong with you?"

The Jade Rabbit Fairy, her face filled with concern, hurried to Li Chen and Li Zhaohuang. She gently raised her jade hand and carefully placed it on their meridians, intently examining them, trying to figure out what had happened to cause their abnormal behavior.

"Um?!"

The Jade Rabbit Fairy suddenly let out a sound of surprise, and her originally calm face instantly showed a ripple. Then, an extremely strange expression appeared on her pretty face, as if she had encountered something that left her puzzled.

Seeing this, the Hibiscus Fairy at the side became more and more anxious. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Jade Rabbit Fairy, what is the situation between the master and Li Zhaohuang? Please tell us!" She stared at the Jade Rabbit Fairy, her beautiful eyes full of worry. She really couldn't understand why two people would suddenly become like this.

At the same time, the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion was extremely anxious. She asked the Jade Rabbit Fairy anxiously, stretched out her hands and shook the Jade Rabbit Fairy's body vigorously, and kept shouting, "Yes, Jade Rabbit Fairy, please tell us quickly! What happened to our master brother?"

Because he was too nervous, the strength in the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion's hands unconsciously increased, making the Jade Rabbit Fairy dizzy and seeing stars.

"Oh my... stop shaking!"

The Jade Rabbit Fairy was shaken so hard by the Fire-Eating Scorpion that she felt dizzy and her head was about to explode. After finally stabilizing herself, she said breathlessly, "I've carefully checked Li Chen and Li Zhaohuang, but I can't find anything unusual. I'm completely confused and have no idea what's going on!"

Just when these people were arguing heatedly and their faces were red, an unexpected scene appeared - Li Chen and Li Zhaohuang actually felt the unbearable discomfort again at the same time.

However, this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing like smoke in almost the blink of an eye, and the two of them quickly returned to normal.

Li Chen smiled and said calmly, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Look, we are all fine now." He looked relaxed, as if the heart-wrenching pain he had just experienced had never existed.

But in fact, only Li Chen himself knew that the pain he felt just now was not an illusion, but a real heart-wrenching pain.

At this time, Li Zhaohuang, who was standing beside her, frowned, a look of worry on her beautiful face. She said softly to Li Chen, "Master! The feeling I just experienced was so unbearable. It was as if my heart was being torn apart!"

As she spoke, she gently stroked her chest, still feeling the lingering pain of the inexplicable heartache. She was completely bewildered and had no idea what had caused this strange situation.

"Okay, forget it!"

Li Chen waved his hand and said loudly: "If you don't eat now, these delicious dishes will get cold! Come on, everyone, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks and enjoy this rare delicacy!" Before he finished speaking, he took the lead in picking up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it with hearty mouthfuls.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, and for a moment, the room was filled with clinking cups and plates, laughter, and joy. Even the usually reserved Li Zhaohuang couldn't help but smile at the lively scene and immediately joined in the joyful dining.

After all, after several consecutive thrilling and bloody battles, she was indeed exhausted both physically and mentally and in urgent need of a good rest. At this moment, she secretly thought that perhaps it was because she had experienced too many fierce battles before that she was so exhausted.

However, just as Li Chen, Li Zhaohuang, and the others were reveling in the delights of delicious food and the joy of victory, they were completely unaware that the Golden-winged Roc, far away in the Golden Jade Palace, was meticulously planning a jaw-dropping "surprise" waiting for them! The two, completely unaware of this, remained completely immersed in the joyful atmosphere before them.

After those bloody battles, everyone present was starving. Therefore, whenever a new dish was served, there was a frantic scramble. In the blink of an eye, the once-full plates were empty, with only a little bit of soup remaining.

Faced with this situation, Li Chen was helpless. He could only open the system store again and again, using his accumulated wealth to continuously exchange for various delicious foods, and quickly placed them on the table to satisfy everyone's bottomless appetite.

In this way, this grand feast lasted from noon until nightfall, and only when the last person put down their bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, did this long and fulfilling meal come to a successful conclusion.

"Master! This meal is truly filling! Even in that magnificent palace, I have never tasted such a rich and delicious meal!"

Li Zhaohuang gently patted her slightly bulging belly with her hands, a satisfied smile on her beautiful face. She whispered to Li Chen in a sweet voice about her joy. At this moment, she was extremely happy, as if the heartbreaking pain she had experienced before had never happened.

At this moment, the Hibiscus Fairy came over with a smile, blinked her bright eyes, and said playfully: "Yes! Master! You must not forget that you still have to practice with me, and sister Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion, sister Nine-tailed Sky Fox, sister Hundred Fairy Butterfly, sister Aoxue, and sister Ao Shuang later!" As she spoke, a slightly sly smile appeared on the face of the Hibiscus Fairy, which made people love her.

Hearing this, Li Chen was stunned at first, then reacted, nodded with a wry smile, and replied, "Okay! Don't worry, I definitely won't forget it!" However, he secretly muttered to himself: I'm afraid there will be another fierce and tough battle tonight! After all, he just enjoyed a bowl of rich and nourishing soup, and the power in his body is surging! In his current state, even taking on ten powerful enemies at the same time would be no problem!

Seeing this, the fire-eating poisonous scorpion on the other side quickly echoed Fairy Hibiscus and shouted coquettishly: "Yes! Master brother, we must practice hard later!" After saying that, she did not forget to cast a coquettish glance at Li Chen.

Faced with the women's teasing, Li Chen could only shake his head helplessly and replied with a smile, "Of course! Of course!" Then, he turned and walked into the depths of the Seven Star Cave, extinguishing all the candles in the cave with a wave of his hand. In an instant, the entire cave was plunged into darkness, but faint waves of spiritual energy could be heard.
