After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 243

Li Chengqian’s decision to summon Su Che shattered Changle’s remaining affection for him. With a resolute expression, she clutched Su Che tightly and declared, “If you want to harm Su Che, then you’ll have to kill me first!”

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, turning his gaze towards Changle. “Changle, listen… if Su Li dies, how will you protect your son? So many people in this world despise Su Li to the core. They would relish the opportunity to harm him. They loathe Su Li to the bone, and when the time comes, do you think they would spare Su Che?” A sinister smile crossed Li Chengqian’s face as he continued, “I’m doing this for the sake of my nephew.”

Changle seethed with anger, but at this moment, there was little she could do other than hold Su Che tightly. However, young Su Che was incredibly astute. With just a few words, he sensed the intense conflict between his mother and his distant uncle, with whom his family had never been close. Furthermore, Li Chengqian openly mentioned Su Li’s potential demise.

Su Che gently opened his arms, breaking free from Changle’s embrace. He questioned Li Chengqian, “Are you talking nonsense just because you want to harm my dad?” He jumped to the ground, raised his head, and glared angrily at Li Chengqian.

Taking advantage of Changle’s momentary hesitation, young Su Che sprinted towards the main hall. By now, the sounds of battle inside the main hall had reached their ears. Even standing outside, the continuous screams from within made it clear how dire Su Li’s situation was.

“Su Che, come back!” Changle screamed, immediately following her son.

Though Changle knew her son possessed extraordinary abilities despite being under four years old, the guards of the princess’s residence were no match for him. However, in the eyes of any mother, their child was someone they must protect. It was undoubtedly very dangerous with Li Chengqian’s extensive preparations and the siege against Su Li inside the main hall. If young Su Che rushed in like this and encountered unforeseen circumstances…

At that moment, Changle’s mind was filled with only one thought: even if it meant death, their family would face it together.

In the blink of an eye, young Su Che reached the front of the main hall. The main hall’s doors had been securely locked from the inside with iron bars, but this couldn’t deter Su Che. He shielded his head with his arms, lowered it, and charged forward, shattering the thick door panel with sheer force.

Suddenly, the scene inside the main hall was revealed to everyone. Hundreds of black-clad individuals surrounded the main hall at that moment, brandishing weapons. Despite facing only Su Li and Su Li being bound by an iron net, everyone treated him as if he were a formidable foe. Many of them had beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, making breathing nauseating. Su Li had been contemplating Li Chengqian’s potential tricks when he heard the main hall door being smashed open. He turned his head to see young Su Che and Changle had already squeezed through the gaps in the iron net at the entrance.

Su Li shook his head with a smile. Even though hundreds of people surrounded him, he never showed a hint of panic on his face. Even amidst the chaos, his clothes remained unstained by a drop of blood. Seeing his wife and son in this situation, he didn’t feel nervous but rather a sense of warmth. Now that Changle and young Su Che were here, he had no reason to continue.

In the terrified eyes of the assassins, Su Li suddenly spread his arms wide. Then, a continuous sound of iron chains snapping could be heard. After breaking the innermost layer of iron chains, Su Li freed his hands and snapped the outer chains individually. His effortless demeanor made it seem that the thick iron chains, as thick as adult arms, were nothing more than paper to him.

Suddenly, the faces of the assassins all displayed determination. Everyone rushed towards Su Li, throwing themselves into a suicidal attack. This suicide attack caught Su Li by surprise. In that moment of surprise, a massive fire ignited around the perimeter of the main hall. Li Chengqian had prepared some kind of ignition material in advance within the hall. As the fire erupted, the entire hall was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.

The outermost guards were the first to be consumed by the fire. What surprised Su Li was that these individuals seemed to carry incendiary materials. Once ignited, they turned into living torches. Even so, these fanatical guards continued to scream and charge towards him, one after another.

Su Li had never seen such fearless and relentless guards before, but regardless of their cunning schemes, they held no meaning for him. Su Li picked up a long spear from the ground and gave it a gentle shake, and the spearhead quivered with excitement. Satisfied, he began to wield the spear.

Countless living torches rushed at Su Li, only to be forced back and sent flying as they tried approaching him within a yard’s distance. Hundreds of them couldn’t get closer to Su Li. Su Li fought his way towards the main hall’s entrance, moving with purpose.

Despite the relentless assault of the guards who ignored their own lives, it took Su Li a good half hour to cover the short distance of just a few dozen steps. By the time he reached the main hall’s entrance, no living people were left behind him. Su Li had personally killed only a small portion of them. Most had been burned to death by the raging fire.

The intense fire had twisted the air around it, and thick smoke obstructed the view. Even with Su Li’s keen senses, he could barely make out the surroundings. He took a few more steps forward and heard Changle’s soft exclamation.

“Husband!”

Immediately, Su Li felt a soft body collide with him, and the familiar fragrance of a woman filled his nostrils. He immediately felt relieved. Earlier, Su Li had entered the main hall ahead of Changle to ensure her safety. However, Changle had still rushed in, and he wasn’t sure when Su Che had followed.

“Are you okay?” Su Li asked with concern as he lowered his head. Changle’s fair face had picked up some black soot, but her expression remained unchanged. With her protective mystical armor, she emerged from the fire unscathed.

As the husband and wife embraced, a sudden bout of coughing caught their attention.

“Su Che!” Changle’s expression changed, and she whispered in concern.

Su Li reassured her, “My dear, don’t worry. That boy is tough. He’ll be fine.”

True to his words, a small figure dashed through the flames and ran towards them the next moment – indeed, young Su Che. However, he looked a bit chaotic. His clothes were mostly burnt, and some of his hair had been burned off. His face was blackened. Seeing his parents, he grinned, revealing a set of sparkling white teeth, which looked quite comical.
