Insufficient balance

  After equipping the Heart State Knife, Ling Chen's basic attack ability reached 98 and his hit rate also reached 17. Such attack and hit rate abilities are absolutely abnormal among apprentice warriors of the same level. If Ling Chen were to appear in public with the Heart State Knife, the white silver light would likely attract a large number of players who would frantically try to snatch it.

  Another piece of equipment was the Novice Assassin's Light Leggings, Bronze grade, but it had no use for Ling Chen. He glanced at it briefly before putting it away. Then he began to examine the other items with a puzzled expression.

  【Toxic Touch】: Hell Spider's highly toxic pedipalp, can be used in forging to grant the weapon a poisonous attribute.

  There are eight such poisonous stings. The last one is a transparent, water-like thing with a ring of dark green **swaying slowly with his movements.

  Hell Spider Venom: The source of the Hell Spider's deadly poison, with a terrifyingly strong toxicity that can cause at least 30% loss of life force upon contact, unless one has abilities surpassing those of a celestial spirit. The venom loses its potency gradually after leaving the Hell Spider's body and will completely lose its toxicity after one day.

  Ling Chen's hand shook, almost dropping the nearly fragile water bubble. But immediately, he carefully grasped it again. The deep green liquid flowing within the bubble was extremely toxic spider venom. Even Ling Chen felt a chill in his heart holding it in his hand. However, he also understood how terrifying this thing was. If he were to throw it at a BOSS with a level no higher than Xianling right now, it could directly take away at least 30% of its life. This was an astonishing effect. The only problem was that the effect of this abnormal thing would last for a very short time. The longer the time dragged on, the weaker the effect became. By tomorrow, this time, it would be completely ineffective.

  Carefully putting it away, Ling Chen still subconsciously shook his hand to prevent being stained with anything. Only then did he take a step forward, walking towards the entrance of the fifth area. The path behind him was completely sealed off, and he could only choose to move forward.

  As he approached the stone gate, only one more step was needed to enter the fifth area, but suddenly, his whole body shook inexplicably, and his right foot, which was about to step in, stiffened and stopped there, with his entire body frozen in place.

  Slowly, Ling Chen withdrew his right foot that was about to touch the ground and instead took a step back, staring at the black stone gate in front of him, motionless for half a day.

  Because, just as he was about to step into that moment, he felt an extremely strong sense of crisis. This feeling for him was absolutely not an illusion, because in his life, this danger warning had saved his life many times, and never once was it a simple illusion. This sense of crisis told him that in the space ahead, there existed an extremely powerful... powerful to the point where he was completely unable to resist... monster! As soon as he stepped inside, he would be easily crushed into pieces, and he almost had no strength to struggle or resist.

  Time passed minute by minute, and after a full ten minutes, Ling Chen was still standing in the same spot. During this time, he had tried to enter several times, but each time he took a step forward, an intense sense of danger would wash over him, making it impossible for his foot to touch the ground.

  What is hidden behind this? Is it a level 10 or even higher Lord BOSS?

  A strong sense of danger warned him that he absolutely could not enter, otherwise it would be a matter of life and death, or even certain doom. However, the path behind him was completely blocked off, leaving him no choice but to go forward.

  Half an hour passed, and Ling Chen still stood in place. The blackness within the stone gate ahead was like a deep abyss, perhaps once entered, one would fall into it, with death as the only outcome.

  Time, in the silence, was approaching noon. Ling Chen ultimately did not enter, but instead took a glance at the time and retreated several steps before exiting the game.

  Opening his eyes, Ling Chen saw that the beauty in front of him was still as stunning as ever, with a pair of beautiful eyes that could make the stars pale in comparison. Seeing him open his eyes, Ling Shui's lips, which had been supporting her cheeks, pursed into a sweet smile: "Brother."

  Ling Chen got up, picked up Shui Ruo from the wheelchair and put her on his lap, scolding with concern: "How can you not listen and move around randomly? What if you fall down?"

  "Hehe, no way. I just want to see more of my brother. My brother looks so serious and captivating in the game." Ling Shui wrapped her arms around his neck and gently twisted her body in his embrace. On her snowy white wrist was also a gaming device, and she had been waiting every day for herself to get better, so that she could enter the gaming world with Ling Chen and secretly do things to help him.

  Since that day, she took the 23113 medicine, Ling Shui's smile was dazzling and beautiful, far more than before. In the past, she spent every day in a desperate and hopeless dark gray world, and Ling Chen was her only reason and motivation to struggle. Although for Ling Chen, for the sake of completing that beautiful but already unattainable promise, she was willing to use up everything to struggle, but she also knew that she could no longer struggle for too long. Thinking about the future without a future, thinking about Ling Chen being alone after she left, every day her heart would ache in struggle. But now, heaven has given her hope of rebirth, she believes in Ling Chen, believes that what she drank that day can really make her completely better, all the gloom will dissipate, and after the clouds disperse, it is her bright and pure heart like a boundless sky. She knows what to do with her new life, she will use her regained life to accompany the man who has been by her side in her desperate years, never leaving or abandoning him... no matter what happens, even if the whole world hates him, rejects him.

  Ling Chen wrapped one arm around her waist and gently grasped the wrist of the hand wearing the gaming device, smiling as he said: "After a few more days when Shui Rou's body has fully recovered, we can go to the game world together. I'm sure she'll love it there."

  "Mmm! That day will come soon enough... Oh, brother, don't forget about this afternoon's appointment!" Water Ruo Yi leaned against his shoulder and said softly. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

  "Haha, of course I won't forget."

  Ling Shui's body was weak, and every day she could only maintain a very small amount of physical activity. Although Ling Chen would often take her out to feel the morning breeze and support her as she walked slowly, this frequency of movement was completely insufficient for the human body. In order to prevent Ling Shui's body from becoming stiff or her functions declining, he would give her stretching exercises and muscle massages every day, and every seven days, he would spend an entire afternoon using a mysterious technique unknown to ordinary people to massage and manipulate every inch of Ling Shui's skin... It was also due to his efforts that, despite being bedridden for almost three years with illness, Ling Shui's skin remained as tender and white as a baby's, with delicate curves and slender weakness, and every part of her body was perfectly flawless, without a single blemish.

  Every time after a full-body massage, Ling Chen would be drenched in sweat, as if he had been drained of energy. Although Ling Shui was worried, she never suggested stopping or taking a break, and instead reminded him every week to do it again. Because she didn't want her body to become imperfect... only the most perfect body could match up to him.

  Afternoon...

  The softened sunlight filtered through the pale blue curtains, casting a warm glow on the two people snuggled together. Ling Chen gently placed Ling Shui on the soft bed, and she lay down on her back, as he reached out to undo the buttons on her chest and the sash around her waist. Slowly, he slipped off her outer white dress. Even in the sweltering summer heat, Ling Shui only wore a single layer of clothing at home, and now her slender legs and arms were exposed to the air as she shed her dress. Her entire body was left with only a flimsy pink camisole that barely covered her, but it couldn't conceal her full, plump breasts that shone like creamy jade.

  Her skin was as white and smooth as snow, without a single blemish, like polished jade. It wasn't the pale complexion of someone who had been ill for a long time, but rather a radiant whiteness that seemed to have been coated with a layer of cream. Her beautiful, slender legs were even more alluring, with the delicate inner thighs as white and tender as if they were almost transparent, connecting seamlessly with her slender, gentle, and delicate waistline. Ling Xun's hand lightly stroked her leg, and he could hardly control his desire to extend his hand and caress it all the way down to her ankle, which was as soft as boneless flesh.

  Every inch of her skin has a charm that makes people lose their souls, especially those barely graspable fragrant breasts, so full, delicate and firm, bulging out of her tight blouse. At sixteen, she was in the midst of rapid development, and the bras Lingchen bought for her would become tight every now and then.

  It's time to change into a new camisole again, Ling Chen thought silently, stretching out his hand to deftly unbutton the knot at the back. A dazzling white expanse gently emerged, with a small pink pearl at the top that also slightly bounced up and down, making Ling Chen's eyes daze in wonder. Water Ruo's body had always been the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen in his life.

  The blouse slid slowly down along the smooth skin like silk, and the pair of delicate and tender breasts were like a pair of flowers about to bloom, trembling slightly in the crystal clear skin. The slender waist was as soft as a whisper, giving off an aura of gentle beauty that made one want to hold her close. Her icy jade-like body was on full display before Ling Chen's eyes, with the soft sunlight casting an unrealistically beautiful scene...

  "Brother, does it look good?" Ling Shui Ruo Mei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she spread her arms, allowing Ling Chen to see more clearly. She knew the charm of her body and remembered how her brother had been stunned into silence, even bleeding from his nose, when she first showed him her body that year... It also became one of Ling Chen's most embarrassing moments in his life. Her voice was met with no response from Ling Chen, whose eyes were already completely infatuated as they had many times before. Shui Ruo smiled lightly, and a hint of enchanting charm appeared on her pure face. She leaned in close, stretching out her small tongue to gently lick the edge of his ear.

  Ling Chen's entire body tingled, and his physique lightly trembled. In his line of sight, it was still a breathtakingly beautiful body, with trembling and proudly standing snow-white breasts, slender and delicate waist that could be grasped in one hand, snow-white and smooth buttocks, soft and flat abdomen, and beautifully shaped legs that were hard to describe. Together with her although immature but already stunning facial features, as well as her pure and dreamy spiritual aura, it was truly a sight where every part of her body was beautiful, every part of her body was captivating.

  Ling Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes with difficulty: "Water Ruo, don't make trouble, otherwise... I really will eat you up."

  "Heh, I'm not afraid, I was always... forever will be brother's..." Ling Shuiye didn't retreat, instead she reached out and hooked her hand around his neck, smiling softly.

  Actually, every week at this time is the most difficult moment for Ling Chen. His strong willpower would be put to the test in the most challenging way. If Ruo's body was healthy, he would have possessed her completely by now, but her frail body couldn't withstand any torment. Each time, he could only force himself to close his eyes, clear all distractions, and then use his hands to explore every inch of Ruo's body from top to bottom, front to back...
