Chapter 83 Xing Bao'er Status
"Nice to meet you, Mo Xie." Chen Lin simply nodded and greeted her back, and Lan Yin then whispered to Shen Qing. 'Hey, he's more handsome than your boyfriend, and his silver hair looks perfect. Moreover, he seems caring and loving, so why don't you break up with that idiot.'
Since he was a cultivator, Chen Li could hear Lan Yin's words, but he pretended not to hear it and led Xing Bao'er to sit on the sofa.
Shen Qing sighed softly hearing that. 'Sister Lan! Mo Xie already has three wives!'
Lan Yin was shocked to hear that, but she felt it was only natural for a man as handsome as Chen Li to have multiple wives. 'As long as he can treat you and his other wives fairly, I think it's fine if you become his fourth wife.'
Shen Qing sighed heavily and massaged her forehead, knowing Chen Li was handsome and dazzling. In a way, she was attracted to him because of the Heavenly Charm's effects. Nonetheless, she didn't want to have a romantic relationship with a married man.
Since she didn't have an answer to her strange feelings towards Chen Li, Shen Qing immediately shifted their conversation. "Anyway, what about those people? Are they still coming here and forcing you to sell this place?"
"No." Lan Yin shook her head. "Ever since you blocked them, they haven't come here again. However, I'm sure they won't give up so easily and might come back later."
"I see." Shen Qing nodded in understanding. "If those people come here again, then you should contact me immediately, Sister Lan."
"All right." Lan Yin then took the groceries and carried them to the kitchen, and Shen Qing helped her.
Meanwhile, Xing Bao'er was cuddling on Chen Li's lap as she played with his silver hair. "Big Brother, how did your hair come to this color?"
"I can't explain it to you, but my hair turned out like this on its own." However, Chen Li suddenly thought of something. 'Scan Xing Bao'er.'

'Hmm?' Chen Li raised his eyebrows after seeing Xing Bao'er's status, especially since she had no profound veins. 'Sister Huoli! Why doesn't she have profound veins?'
Xiao Huoli immediately answered his question. [You don't need to be surprised by that, for not everyone is born with profound veins, so this little girl will never be able to cultivate.]
'I see.' Chen Li nodded in understanding. 'Is there a way for people who don't have profound veins to cultivate?'
[There is one, but the process is harrowing.] Chen Li furrowed his brows, and Xiao Huoli immediately explained it. [If a person who doesn't have profound veins wants to cultivate, we can implant someone else's into that person's body. However, finding suitable profound veins for the person is difficult, and we must kill others to extract their profound veins.]
Chen Li nodded in understanding and said. 'In that case, it is no different from organ donation surgery, and not all profound veins are suitable.'
[Yes! Moreover, there is a possibility that the recipient of the profound veins will die because the pain is so terrible, and not everyone can endure it.]
Upon hearing that, Chen Li sighed heavily and rubbed Xing Bao'er's head, making her flustered by his expression.
Xing Bao'er then asked him. "Why are you looking at me like that, Big Brother?"
"Nothing." Chen Li answered with a shake of his head and then asked back. "Earlier I heard Shen Qing asking Sister Lan about the people who came to this house. What exactly happened?"
"En." Xing Bao'er nodded to him. "Big Brother, those people are bad, and they kept trying to force Sister Lan to sell this house to their boss. However, she had refused their request for our sake, but they threatened to harm us."
"I see." Chen Li nodded in understanding. "Anyway, you don't need to worry; I will give Sister Lan my number. If those people come here again, she can contact me directly, and I will definitely help you guys."
"Haha." Xing Bao'er giggled and hugged Chen Li's neck. "Although this is your first time here, you are very kind, Big Brother."
Chen Li only smiled hearing that, he actually didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but the situation of those children was very different. Since they no longer have a family, they will be neglected if someone else takes over the orphanage.
Moreover, Chen Li himself had been bullied too much since childhood, and he now had the strength to protect them, so he decided to do just that.
Xing Bao'er suddenly got off Chen Li's lap and pulled him to her room, for she was already sleepy. After they went inside, she asked him to read her a story.
Chen Li unhesitatingly agreed to Xing Bao'er's request, and they then lay down side by side, and he began to tell a story that Lin Qingzhu had once read to him.
Xing Bao'er hugged Chen Li as she happily listened to him, but suddenly the door to the room was opened, and Shen Qing looked at them in surprise.
'They just met, but they got so close fast.' Shen Qing inwardly muttered as she smiled, she chose to go out and not disturb them.
Xing Bao'er fell into a deep sleep sometime later, so Chen Li got off the bed and covered her with a blanket.
After that, Chen Li said goodbye to Lan Yin, and he also left his phone number with her, surprising her.
"Thank you, I hope you come here often." Lan Yin said with a happy smile, especially after she saw Chen Li's closeness to Xing Bao'er.
"En." Chen Li nodded to her. "Tomorrow, I will bring my wife here; the children will surely be happy to meet her."
"All right."
.

After that, they immediately left the orphanage, and Chen Li escorted Shen Qing back to her home.
However, Shen Qing kept glancing at Chen Li; red hues adorned her white cheeks. 'I didn't expect him to have such a side, and he looked so affectionate towards Bao'er.'
"Why do you keep glancing at me?" Chen Li asked as he turned to her. "Are you attracted to me?"
"Humph!" Shen Qing snorted softly and turned her head to look out the window, but her heart was pounding at his words. 'Am I really attracted to him? But we just met today, and he's done something like that to me before.'
Chen Li laughed softly and didn't say anything else, but his feeling of awe and respect for Shen Qing had already grown. After all, she is a member of a prominent family. Yet, she is selfless and thinks highly of the children at the orphanage. 'Sigh, I don't know what she will do if I destroy her Shen family later, and she might hate me for that.'
.
.
.
After some time, they arrived in front of the Shen House, but Shen Qing did not get down from Chen Li's car immediately.
"What are you waiting for?" Chen Li asked as he turned to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing sighed softly and opened the car door, but she suddenly turned around and briefly kissed Chen Li's lips, startling him.
However, Shen Qing's face turned extremely red, she exited the car and ran into her house.
"Sigh, I hope you won't obstruct me from destroying your family, or I will give you the Soul Mark." Chen Li immediately drove away from the Shen House.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, Shen Qing was already lying on her bed, rubbing her lips while staring at the ceiling. "What have I done? Why did I kiss Mo Xie on the lips? Am I really in love with him?"
Shen Qing remembered what Lan Yin had said earlier and immediately took her smartphone. Yet, every time she wanted to write a message, she immediately deleted it again.
After a few minutes, Shen Qing threw the smartphone aside and sighed heavily. "Forget it! I don't know Mo Xie yet, so I won't make rash decisions."
After that, Shen Qing immediately closed her eyes to sleep, but Chen Li's face kept popping up in her mind.
.
.
.
Minutes later, Chen Li had already arrived at Qingshui Mansion. He found his mother looking through Chen Zhen's photos, and her expression was filled with sadness and deep longing.
Chen Li sighed, seeing his mother like that, especially after he learned the truth about Chen Zhen. He then sat beside Lin Qingzhu and immediately pulled her into a hug. "Did you miss my father?"
"En." Lin Qingzhu nodded to him. "Even though your father died long ago, I can never forget him and still miss him."
"I see." Chen Li then stood up and carried Lin Qingzhu like a princess.
"What are you doing, Li'er?" Lin Qingzhu asked in surprise as she hugged her son's neck.
Chen Li shook his head. "Since you're feeling like that, I'll accompany you to sleep."
Lin Qingzhu sighed softly and nodded, and Chen Li immediately took his mother to her room, and they lay down side by side.
They talked about various things for a while, or instead, Chen Li listened to his mother to vent her feelings until she fell asleep.
Chen Li hugged his mother tightly and muttered in his heart. 'Mom, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth, but I will take revenge on Sun Taiyang for everything he did to you.'
