126: Combat strength 1000

One was Wu Li, the Repair Shop owner he met on a blind date, and the other was that arrogant Blondie from the food stall.

But thinking about it carefully, Wu Li was less likely—although that person was vulgar, he didn't look like someone who would commit kidnapping.

On the contrary, that Blondie could casually offer a price of 100,000 per month for patronage; he clearly had both financial resources and influence, making him more likely to resort to such despicable means.

Thinking of this, Chen Li's gaze gradually turned cold.

No matter who it was, since they dared to lay a hand on Liu Nansheng, he would definitely make them pay the price.

Inside the bathroom, misty steam slowly rose.

Liu Nansheng stood under the showerhead, allowing the warm water to slide over her skin.

She closed her eyes, feeling the water droplets fall from her hair tips and flow along her neck, tracing her exquisite curves.

After the breathtaking events of the entire day, the current tranquility felt especially precious.

She lowered her head, looking at her fair skin glowing with a moist luster in the steam, and waves of emotion rippled in her heart.

Thinking that she would soon completely entrust herself to her beloved Chen Li, her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and even her earlobes felt hot.

Squeezing some shower gel into her palm, she carefully rubbed it into a lather, meticulously cleaning every part of her body.

She wanted to offer her most beautiful and complete self, without reservation, to her most beloved Chen Li.

Half an hour later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped... In the living room, Chen Li was enduring the pain in his ribs, cautiously checking his injuries.

As soon as he heard the water stop, he immediately let go of his clothes, quickly adjusted his expression, and tried hard to make himself look completely normal.

The bathroom door clicked lightly, and Liu Nansheng walked out.

She was wearing Mother Chen's pajamas; the light-colored fabric clung slightly to her body due to the moisture from her recent shower.

The pajamas were indeed too small for her tall Figure. The top tightly hugged her burgeoning curves, and the hem only reached her upper thighs, revealing a pair of straight, long legs.

Her skin was steamed rosy by the hot water, and her wet long hair was draped over her shoulders, the tips still dripping water.

She looked like a fairy who had just stepped out of the morning mist, fresh yet possessing an indescribable allure.

Chen Li was momentarily mesmerized, his gaze lingering uncontrollably on her.

He felt his throat go dry, and he unconsciously held his breath.

Liu Nansheng took in his reaction, feeling both shy and secretly pleased.

She was well aware of her attractiveness to the opposite sex, but this was the first time she had deliberately displayed it like this.

Seeing Chen Li engrossed, she playfully glared at him: "Still looking? Go take a shower now."

"Oh, oh... alright... I'm going now."

Chen Li finally snapped out of it, hastily averting his gaze. "Nansheng, you go rest in my room first."

Walking into the bedroom, Liu Nansheng curiously surveyed the space filled with Chen Li's presence.

High School textbooks were still on the desk, and a few basketball star posters were stuck on the wall; everything maintained the appearance of his teenage years.

She sat gently on the edge of the bed, her fingers unconsciously stroking the smooth bedsheet, and her heart began to race again.

Chen Li came out of the bathroom, still carrying the warmth and steam of the water.

He pushed open the bedroom door and immediately saw Liu Nansheng leaning against his headboard, holding a slightly worn photo album in her hands, a gentle smile on her lips.

The warm yellow light shone on her, enveloping her in a soft halo.

She was wearing slightly tight pajamas, outlining her graceful curves. This domestic appearance made Chen Li's heart warm up.

"Chen Li, were these taken when you were in High School?" she asked, pointing to a photo in the album.

The young man in the photo was wearing a school uniform, sweating it out on the basketball court with a few classmates.

"That's right,"

Chen Li walked over and sat down on the bed. "Back then, you were the goddess in the hearts of all the boys in school. I don't know how many people secretly hid your photos in their textbooks."

Liu Nansheng gently punched him. "Stop joking around. Are there any photos of me that you secretly took in here?"

"Of course there are,"

Chen Li joked, "But they are all hidden in the most secret places. How could I dare take them out casually?"

As he spoke, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer into his embrace.

Liu Nansheng leaned into his chest, the faint fragrance of her hair lingering at his nose.

"Back then, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that one day you would be leaning in my arms like this," Chen Li said softly, his tone tinged with emotion.

Liu Nansheng put down the photo album and turned to face him.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her face up to look into his eyes: "Be honest, were you already harboring ill intentions toward me back then?"

Her eyes sparkled under the light, carrying a hint of playfulness and expectation.

"Back then, I didn't even dare to think about it,"

Chen Li answered honestly, his gaze unconsciously falling on her slightly upturned lips. "But now... I definitely want to harbor ill intentions toward you..."

His voice gradually deepened, and the distance between the two shortened unknowingly.

Liu Nansheng could feel his warm breath brushing her cheek, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

She did not dodge; instead, she slightly closed her eyes.

At this moment, only the sound of their intertwined breathing remained in the room... (300,000 words omitted here)

[Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission and received Combat Power 1000]

[Issuing reward now...]

At this instant, Chen Li felt a scorching current erupt from his chest, rapidly spreading to his limbs and bones.

This feeling was not like simple heat; it was more like countless tiny warm currents surging and traversing his meridians, seemingly reshaping his body wherever they passed.

He clearly felt his muscle fibers trembling slightly, as if they had been injected with new vitality.

His slightly slack arms and thighs were tightening, and the outline of solid muscles faintly appeared on his abdomen.

What surprised him even more was that the bruises on his ribs, which had been throbbing faintly, were now enveloped by a gentle force, and the pain was quickly receding.

This kind of transformative change filled him with both shock and joy.

He tried clenching his fist, feeling an unprecedented power gathering at his fingertips.

Liu Nansheng beneath him also seemed to sense something unusual, vaguely feeling Chen Li's body temperature rising and the arms wrapped around her becoming stronger.

But at this moment, she was already lost in passion, instinctively clinging to this reassuring embrace, letting herself sink into the waves of excitement Chen Li brought.

Chen Li looked down at the crimson cheeks of the person in his arms, felt the surging power within his body, and an unprecedented confidence arose spontaneously.

The night deepened...
