?39: Chapter 33 Making Friends 39: Chapter 33 Making Friends The sudden figure that rushed in took Li Chen by surprise.

    Almost instinctively, he reached out his hand to steady her, and the fresh scent hitting him made him immediately realize that she was a woman.

    Patting her, Li Chen said, “Miss, miss, you need to wake up.”

    The woman struggled to lift her head, and instantly, Li Chen was taken aback.

    “Qilin Princess?”

    “Hmm?”

    Li Chen was shocked.

    The woman in his arms was none other than the Qilin Princess he had seen that evening.

    What he couldn’t understand was how the Qilin Princess ended up in such a state, and amid her haze, she also felt that the man before her seemed familiar.

    In fact, the Qilin Princess was in a bad mood today and had randomly picked a bar to drown her sorrows.

    However, she hadn’t expected that a few thugs in the bar had set their sights on her.

    Normally, the Qilin Princess wouldn’t have been scared, but someone had drugged her drink.

    When the drugs took effect, the thugs came straight at her.

    Under the influence of the drug, the Qilin Princess’s strength had diminished to less than ten percent.

    She had to endure the feeling of ants crawling under her skin while fighting the thugs.

    With the thugs being numerous and their tricks devious, she was soon overwhelmed.

    But having the strength of the Earth Ranking, after a fierce fight, she had burst out of the bar through the back door, but she was already at the end of her tether and couldn’t fight anymore.

    Then, upon exiting, she ran straight into Li Chen’s arms.

    “You, let go of me,” gasped the Qilin Princess, Li Chen’s touch felt like the best aphrodisiac, almost making her lose her self-control.

    “Letting go is no problem, but as soon as I do, you’ll hit the ground,” Li Chen chuckled mischievously.

    “Are you sure you want me to let go?”

    Hearing this, the Qilin Princess tried to muster her strength and realized she indeed couldn’t move at all.

    If it weren’t for Li Chen, she would probably be lying on the ground.

    “Hurry, let’s go,” the Qilin Princess said with difficulty.

    Li Chen picked up the Qilin Princess and started walking towards the distance.

    His hands were far from idle, which infuriated the already weak Qilin Princess.

    “Don’t touch.”

    Li Chen didn’t care about that.

    He chuckled, “Didn’t think you’d be so juicy; I really like mature women.

    Let’s be friends, shall we?”

    “How dare you?” the Qilin Princess fumed with embarrassment, but her soft voice barely carried any threat.

    The Qilin Princess was almost out of breath with anger.

    “I wouldn’t be your friend if you were the last man on Earth, and if you dare to touch me again, I’ll chop off your hands once I recover.”

    Buddy, you’re talking big, but have you looked at the situation?

    You’re in my arms, and you still want to chop my hands off?

    “What did you say?

    I can’t hear you,” Li Chen leaned closer to the Qilin Princess.

    “You said you like how my touch feels?

    You said you want to be friends with me?”

    The Qilin Princess seethed with hatred for this jerk, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

    Just then, from the back door of the bar, a group of thugs armed with weapons rushed out and immediately spotted Li Chen holding the Qilin Princess.

    “Guys, she’s up ahead!

    Don’t let her escape!”

    “Hey you, stop right there!”

    The thugs at the back immediately caught up.

    “Leave her with us.”

    Li Chen, holding the Qilin Princess, turned around where the thugs quickly confronted him.

    “Kid, hand her over and get lost, or I’ll break your legs!”

    Pretending to be perplexed, Li Chen said, “Her?

    I just picked her up from the ground.”

    “I don’t care about that.

    We had our eyes on this chick first.

    Touch her, and you’re leaving here on a stretcher!”

    The thug brandished his knife, looking smug and cocky.

    Out of options, Li Chen whispered, “Have you decided whether you want to be friends with me or not?”

    The Qilin Princess turned her head away, too lazy to even grunt.

    “If you don’t put her down now, I’ll chop off your hands too!” The thug, seeing Li Chen dawdling, could barely restrain himself from charging forward to snatch her.

    “Oh, oh,” Li Chen seemed flustered and quickly placed the Qilin Princess on the ground.

    “Sorry, guys, but seeing this chick lying on the ground looking so pretty, I thought I’d enjoy myself a bit.

    Since she’s yours, I’ll just give her back to you.”

    After saying this, Li Chen turned and walked away.

    The Qilin Princess was dumbfounded; how could he just abandon her like that?

    “Are you even a man!” shouted the Qilin Princess, using all her strength.

    Li Chen’s mouth curved into a slight smile, thinking, now will you keep your cool?

    Turning back, Li Chen suddenly looked shy and awkward, “So, you agree now?”

    “I agree to what?” the Qilin Princess was baffled.

    Li Chen seemed even more sheepish as he stammered, “I really like mature women.

    I want to be your friend.”

    Qilin Princess looked utterly speechless, while the gangsters were also startled.

    Was this guy really such an oddball?

    “Make friends with your mom, if you don’t leave I’ll kill you!” a gangster immediately threatened.

    Li Chen acted as if he hadn’t heard, standing there as if waiting for Qilin Princess’s reply.

    Seeing that she didn’t respond, he turned around, intending to leave.

    “I agree,” said Qilin Princess, sounding listless.

    Li Chen’s face lit up with joy, “Great, I knew you would agree.”

    Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of the gangsters, Li Chen ran over, scooped up Qilin Princess, turned, and walked away.

    Fuck, do you think we’re invisible or what?

    The gangsters were dumbstruck; they had never seen anyone quite this bizarre before.

    “Stop right there!” The gangsters immediately surrounded Li Chen.

    “Fuck your mom, I don’t care if you’re really stupid or just pretending, put her down or I’ll kill you.”

    Li Chen looked puzzled, “Guys, didn’t you hear just now?”

    “Heard what?”

    “She agreed to be friends with me,” Li Chen gestured towards Qilin Princess, “so she belongs to me now.”

    “Belongs to your mom!” Unable to bear it any longer, the gangsters took out their weapons and hacked at Li Chen.

    Li Chen had no intention of putting down Qilin Princess.

    Watching the gangsters coming at him, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up slightly.

    He sidestepped, lifted his foot, and sent the frontmost gangster flying with a kick.

    Then, with a flick of his hands, Qilin Princess was controlled to fly around in the air, her foot striking two attacking gangsters, before being caught by Li Chen behind him.

    Qilin Princess now had her arms wrapped around Li Chen, while he freed his hands, grabbed a gangster’s machete, parried another blade, and kicked twice, sending two men flying.

    He tossed the machete in his hand; the handle flew straight at a gangster, hitting him in the chest and knocking him straight to the ground.

    Afterward, Li Chen, holding Qilin Princess, elegantly swirled around, her beautiful legs sweeping over the head of a gangster sneaking up from behind and landing back in Li Chen’s arms.

    Then Li Chen lifted his foot, sending the remaining gangster flying.

    In an instant, all the gangsters were lying on the ground moaning, while Li Chen stood in the center holding Qilin Princess.

    Li Chen’s brow suddenly furrowed; a gangster not far away tried to get up and run, but with a flick of his toes, a machete flew up, and with a kick, the handle struck his head.

    “Without my permission, anyone who dares to run will not blame me for being ruthless,” Li Chen’s indifferent voice sounded, and those gangsters, though beaten senseless, all clearly understood that this man’s strength was far above theirs.

    Holding someone yet still managing to beat them senseless, how could they possibly stand a chance against him?

    In Li Chen’s arms, Qilin Princess looked at him with eyes foggy, possibly from the medicinal effect or something else, the spring in her gaze making Li Chen’s heart flutter.

    “Now, I’ll give you three seconds,” said Li Chen, holding Qilin Princess, “Three seconds for everyone to stand up.”

    “One!”

    The gangsters, frightened by Li Chen, dared not disobey and struggled to stand up.

    “Two!”

    “Anyone not standing by three will get their muscles loosened by me,” Li Chen said nonchalantly.

    Scared, even those who were slow hurriedly scrambled to their feet.

    “Good,” Li Chen nodded, scanning the gangsters, “Now, everyone strip off your clothes and pants!”

    “What?” The gangsters were taken aback.

    Strip off clothes and pants?

    Did they hear that right?

    “I don’t want to say it again, strip!” Li Chen’s gaze turned cold.

    Seeing his expression, the gangsters were terrified and quickly began stripping off their clothes.

    Before long, all the gangsters were naked, each standing in different underpants in the alley.

    Qilin Princess had turned her face to the other side of Li Chen’s, unwilling to see such a shameful scene.

    “Strip completely,” Li Chen said indifferently.

    “What?” Now, the gangsters hesitated, but Li Chen stamped his foot, and a machete flew up, then with a kick, it flew toward a distant wall and embedded itself directly, under the gangsters’ watchful eyes!

    Fuck!

    The gangsters were startled, and without a second word, started stripping off their last piece of underwear.

    In an instant, a dozen gangsters stood completely naked in the alley.

    Li Chen nodded in satisfaction, “Now, all of you line up.”
