“I still didn’t expect that he was Chen Li.” Yan Qiu muttered to herself after he and Xiao Xianglin disappeared from her room. “No wonder he hates the people of those families so much; they killed his father and destroyed his family, and their children are trying to kill him too.”
The Meng Twins nodded in agreement with that, for they also knew about the history of the Chen family, and they used to be the most prosperous family in their city. However, everything changed overnight, and their family fell apart with Chen Zhen’s death.
Suddenly, Meng Yi asked. “But how can he change his appearance like that, Big Sis?”
“Hey, Yi! Did you forget that some people have shapeshifting superpowers? Chen Li might have one.” Meng Yu said to her twin sister. “No wonder Uncle Luo and his subordinates couldn’t find his whereabouts.”
Unlike them, Yan Qiu had a different conclusion in mind, for it was impossible for someone to have so many superpowers at once. ‘I remember that Chen Li was weak before he disappeared, but he’s returned with many abilities, and I feel he still has other abilities.’
“Let’s go home.” The Meng Twins followed behind Yan Qiu. “Anyway, inform them to head to the Northern Forest tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Big Sis.”

After he left the Vermilion Gang headquarter, Chen Li told Lu Zhe the results of his deal with Yan Qiu, and he then asked them to return to the Northern Forest. Then he escorted Xiao Xianglin back to her house and returned to Qingshui Mansion afterward.
When he arrived at the mansion, Chen Li went straight to Lin Qingzhu’s room, but she was already fast asleep. He then walked over to his mother and kissed her forehead before leaving the room again.
“Brother, I will enter the Tianyi Realm.” Sun Xing’er suddenly said to him. Because Feng Xian’er had contacted her that Chen Wei’er was inside, she wanted her to tell her the truth.
“All right, you can go in there.” After Sun Xing’er entered Tianyi Realm, Chen Li went straight to Yu Hua’s room, but she was fast asleep with Xing Bao’er in her arms.
When he entered his room, Chen Li was surprised to find Shen Qing sleeping. But he didn’t bother her and packed his clothes first, and he lay down next to her after he finished everything.
Feeling the warmth of his body, Shen Qing turned around to hug Chen Li, and she asked him. “Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for a very long time.”
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting.” Chen Li replied as he hugged Shen Qing back. “I just came back from the Vermilion Gang’s headquarter.”
“Huh?” Hearing that, Shen Qing immediately opened her eyes and looked at Chen Li in surprise. “What are you doing in their base? Do you know Big Sis Qiu?”
“I just met Yan Qiu for the first time, so I didn’t know her.” After hearing that, Shen Qing eyed him suspiciously, causing Chen Li to chuckle softly. “I went to their base to recruit her and her gang members, and she agreed to join me.”
“I see.” Shen Qing nodded in understanding. “Although Big Sis Qiu is very fierce, but she is also kind; she is even willing to accommodate the women.”
“I know.” Chen Li replied with a chuckle. “That’s why I recruited them, for I also want to help them.”
“That’s good.” Shen Qing suddenly pushed Chen Li away, and she sat on his body. “Xian’er told me that you are still keeping a secret from me, and she asked me to ask you directly, so can you tell me the truth?”
“Are you willing to be my woman?” Chen Li asked back as he rubbed Shen Qing’s cheek.
Shen Qing directly answered his question. “I will answer you after you tell me the truth.”
“All right.” Chen Li instantly returned to his old form, causing Shen Qing’s eyes to widen.
Shen Qing was utterly shocked to see his old face and stuttered. “You… You are Chen Li?”
Chen Li asked her back. “Are you disappointed after knowing my true identity?”
Shen Qing shook her head. “Although I was really shocked to find out your true identity, I’m not disappointed in the least, for Chen Li and Mo Xie are the same person. Sigh, I should have guessed that you two are the same person, especially since Xian’er has never been close to any man other than you, so she can’t possibly marry someone else.”
Chen Li smiled at her answer. “So what’s your decision?”
“I’m not going to tell you yet, for I still have a few questions for you.” Shen Qing smiled upon seeing Chen Li’s expression. “I remember exactly that you were very weak and weren’t a superpower possessor, but how did you suddenly have many abilities? Does this have anything to do with you disappearing a few months ago?”
“Do you really want to know the truth?”
“Yes.”
Chen Li sighed softly. “I disappeared a few months ago because Shen Lu and the others beat me nearly to death, and they abandoned me in the Northern Forest.”
“What?” Shen Qing exclaimed in shock upon hearing that. “Are you serious?”
“Yes.” Chen Li then touched Shen Qing’s forehead and shared his memories of that day’s events with her.
Shen Qing was utterly shocked as Chen Li’s memories appeared in her mind, and she was even more shocked after seeing everything. “Sigh, I knew Bei Qiang was infatuated with Xian’er, but I didn’t expect he would invite my little brother and his other friends to gang up on you. But how can you share your memories with me?”
“I have many tricks you don’t know yet, but you will know everything if you are willing to be my woman.” Shen Qing puffed her cheeks upon hearing that; Chen Li pinched her cheeks and asked her. “Will you hate me if I do something to Shen Lu?”
“What do you want to do with him?” Shen Qing asked with a serious look. Even though she didn’t like Shen Lu’s attitude and behavior, he was still her little brother, so she didn’t want anything to happen to him either.
Chen Li sighed softly. “Honestly, I want to kill Shen Lu, but-”
“But what?” Shen Qing interjected impatiently.
“But I know it will hurt your feelings if I kill Shen Lu.” Shen Qing nodded to him; she would be despondent if that was the case, and Chen Li continued. “For your sake, I won’t kill him, but I won’t just spare him.”
Shen Qing took a deep breath after Chen Li said that, and she looked at him with complicated feelings.
“Are you going to stop me from doing anything to Shen Lu?” Chen Li asked her as he touched Shen Qing’s chest, and he planned to use the Soul Mark on her directly if her answer was not to his liking.
Shen Qing sighed in her heart and said to him. “As long as you don’t kill my little brother, I don’t mind if you do something to him, but I hope you don’t maim him.”
“All right, I promise you.” Chen Li replied as he sighed in relief, for he didn’t want to use the Soul Mark on a good woman like Shen Qing. “So, are you willing to be my woman?”
“En.” Shen Qing nodded to him. “Moreover, Xian’er has already killed Qin Ming, so nothing will stop me from becoming your woman anymore.”
“Eh?” Chen Li was surprised to hear that. “Did Xian’er really kill Qin Ming? Why didn’t she tell me about it?”
“That’s really true.” Shen Qing then explained to him. “After returning from the amusement park, we met Qin Ming and Charlotte at my house. Xian’er was furious that he tried hypnotizing her, and he wanted to have fun with her.”
Chen Li’s face darkened instantly upon hearing that. “Qin Ming is fortunate that Xian’er already killed him, or else I would have made him suffer a lot if he fell into my hands.”
“You love Xian’er that much, huh?”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded to her. “Xian’er is the most important part of my life, so I won’t spare anyone who dares to have bad thoughts toward her.”
Shen Qing nodded in understanding after seeing the seriousness of Chen Li’s expression, and his tone was firm. “Anyway, Xian’er told me she locked up Charlotte somewhere, but I don’t know where she locked her up.”
Hearing that, Chen Li immediately asked Xiao Huoli, and she told her that Feng Xian’er asked her to lock Charlotte up on the third floor of the pagoda, and she also told him that something strange had happened to her inside there.
Chen Li then sat on the bed, hugged her, and kissed her on the lips. Shen Qing unhesitatingly kissed him back, and they kissed passionately for quite some time.
After a while, Chen Li separated their lips and said to her. “Since you are willing to be my woman, I will send you to a special place, and Sister Huoli will explain everything to you.” ．
“Sister Huoli? Who is she?” Shen Qing asked in confusion.
“You will find out in a moment; Xian’er and the others are also inside right now.” Chen Li immediately sent Shen Qing into the Tianyi realm. “Yang Li and Shen Qing are in my hands now, so it’s time for me to destroy Shen Hu.”
