Chapter 125 I had no choice in the matter.
As evening approached, Pang Wenke and the others had to leave for some last-minute business. Before leaving, they had already told Liu Chun to take care of his own meals and not to prepare enough for the three of them.
So, after her stomach started growling twice, Liu Chun, who had been thinking of ordering takeout on her phone, ultimately resisted her instincts. She then put on a kitchen scarf, went to the refrigerator, took out a fresh fish and a steak, and began preparing dinner.
In the corridor outside, Hai Xuan listened to Liu Chun humming a little tune and saw him preparing dinner with a carefree expression. However, he did not knock on the door, but just stood outside Liu Chun's door, not knowing what he was doing.
During this time, some people in the corridor saw this scene and found it very strange, but no one came over out of curiosity to check or ask questions.
Later, some of them thought about informing Liu Chun, but when they thought about the strange things that had happened before, they decided it was better to avoid trouble, so they quietly kept it a secret and no one mentioned it to Liu Chun.
At this moment, people upstairs started discussing the matter!
The man reading the newspaper scoffed, "Isn't this how it's always been since Liu Chun started to get better? People come to his house every few days, and maybe this time will be the same."
"Besides, isn't it normal for guests to be a bit strange? Someone once sneaked into his house without anyone noticing, and nothing happened, right?"
The woman's mood improved slightly after hearing his words, and she said, "That's true. Maybe I was just overthinking things."
She laughed awkwardly, while the man said with a resentful look, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and cook, I'm starving."
"Okay, okay, I'll cook for you right away, it'll be ready soon."
……
Hai Xuan downstairs heard these sounds, but Liu Chun, who was cooking in the kitchen, had exceptional hearing and was somewhat interested in the couple's life.
There's someone outside!
Listening to what the couple upstairs had just said, Liu Chun immediately sensed something and was also very curious about who this person was.
After a while, as the aroma of food wafted from inside the house, Hai Xuan smiled and then raised her hand to knock on Liu Chun's door.
"Knock knock knock!"
Is anyone home?
Upon hearing Hai Xuan's voice, Liu Chun only paused for a moment before continuing to bring out the dishes and get herself some rice, completely ignoring what Hai Xuan was doing outside the door.
"Hey, wait a minute, Liu Chun should be home, and the smell of food coming out just now clearly means it was freshly cooked. Why isn't anyone opening the door?"
Just as Hai Xuan was about to continue knocking on the door, Liu Chun, who had finished eating and drinking, came over and opened the door for him.
What are you doing here?
Seeing the food scraps on his lips, Hai Xuan didn't care and went straight into the room.
When he saw that all the food on the table had been wasted, he couldn't hide his anger.
In order to take advantage of Liu Chun, he deliberately didn't eat before coming here, so he's still hungry.
"What?! You actually ate them all? Was that really necessary?"
Liu Chun cleared away all the tableware and returned to him, saying, "What? You didn't want to eat here, so it's my fault for not coming over in time?"
"Also, didn't you previously refuse to tell me how to remove the control over Liu Yifei? So naturally, I can't let you come over for dinner!"
"To be so ruthless?"
"There's something even more amazing coming up."
As Liu Chun clapped his hands, a large iron cage with spikes fell down from above in an instant. Moreover, it had been hidden just now, making it incomparable to an ordinary iron cage.
Before Hai Xuan could ask anything, Liu Chun attacked again, quickly striking him with the skill "Canhe Finger." A feeling of weakness and exhaustion quickly swept over Hai Xuan, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Not bad, but I'm not the same person I used to be. Liu Chun, your skills are useless to me."
"Yeah?"
Liu Chun's face was contorted with rage, yet he maintained a constant smile.
He suddenly pulled a long sword from under the sofa and immediately aimed it at Hai Xuan's heart, thrusting it fiercely.
Hai Xuan showed no intention of dodging. She reached out and caught the longsword directly. No matter how hard Liu Chun exerted himself, the longsword remained unmoved and was completely intercepted.
At this moment, the longsword was only an inch away from Hai Xuan's heart. Even if Liu Chun's strength were to be even greater, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"You've become even stronger!"
Liu Chun's face was contorted with rage, and the current situation was extremely awkward. Not only could the longsword not pierce the opponent's chest after being controlled, but it also could not be pulled out of Hai Xuan's hand. The longsword was completely under control.
"This is all thanks to Lord Gu!"
As Hai Xuan became truly serious, he still maintained a relaxed demeanor: "I won't waste my breath on you. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and I will be attending the banquet."
Upon hearing the word "banquet," Liu Chun immediately inquired, "When will Si Huajin's banquet begin?"
You don't need to know any more information about this.
As Hai Xuan gently flicked the longsword away, the internal energy surged into Liu Chun's body along the blade, causing his sword-wielding arm to tremble.
Soon, the longsword could only be knocked to the ground.
"This iron cage must be what you use to deal with the 'Ancient Relic' power beings, right?" Hai Xuan kicked it to pieces and walked out of it unharmed. "But unfortunately, this thing is useless against me."
Hai Xuan is incredibly powerful, and Liu Chun's trump card is gone. Even Pang Wenke and the others aren't by her side right now, so she's in a very bad situation!
"Actually, you should have let me in for a proper meal earlier, then I wouldn't have completely overwhelmed me the moment I made a move." Hai Xuan stared expressionlessly at Liu Chun on the ground. "I'm different from others; I don't give you time to prepare. So... are you ready to die?"
"But I haven't lost yet!"
Liu Chun glanced to the other side, and soon a halberd was drawn from it. Before long, the halberd in his hand seemed to come alive and launched an attack on Hai Xuan on its own!
Having already approached Liu Chun, Hai Xuan had no choice but to retreat to avoid the danger posed by the halberd.
Although the halberd in front of him could automatically attack people, Hai Xuan also possessed new methods and was not afraid at all. Rather than trying to avoid the halberd's attacks, he was thinking of ways to take the halberd for himself.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Chun stood up from the ground, gripped his longsword again, and unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks on Hai Xuan with his halberd.
Liu Chun didn't need to think much to understand that this was likely sent by Si Huajin to stop him from causing a scene at the banquet.
I never imagined he would be so afraid of me going there!
Since that's the case, if you won't let me go, then I'll go and make a scene. As for Hai Xuan, consider her a gift from me, Liu Chun, to attend the banquet.
Liu Chun firmly believed that the faster he attacked, the less likely Hai Xuan would be to unleash her full power at once, giving him a chance to launch an attack.
"Longsword, keep going!"
With the system indicating its willingness to help, the most it could do for Liu Chun was to ensure that his weapon wouldn't be easily taken away during the fight against Hai Xuan.
