Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 279: Sincerity

Fifteen minutes later, Long Chen was standing in front of the bed. Ling Xi was wearing his clothes and had rolled herself in the thick, heavy cotton blanket. She blushed a deep red and peered out cautiously, looking at him pitifully. Amidst her cautiousness, there was some panic, embarrassment, and other emotions mixed in.

She had not done anything with anyone before, yet she had just appeared fully naked in front of Long Chenand it had lasted seven minutes! Ling Xi wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. Waves of emotion crashed through her, and her heart was pounding in her chest as she stared at the teenage boy.

Long Chen was shameless though. He was looking at Ling Xi with amusement in his eyes, though the fire in them made Ling Xi both afraid and embarrassed, panicking inside. She had not expected to experience so many emotions the moment she finally had a human body again after such a long time without one.

Brother Chen, w-what do you want Ling Xi clutched the pink blanket tightly, eyeing him with panic. She had none of her powers right now, so she would not be able to defend herself if Long Chen wanted to do anything.

Me? Hehe. I want to eat you up! Youre just so tender Long Chens gaze was filled with burning desire.

No! No! My mother said I am not of age yet, so she forbade me from Brother Chen, Im begging you not to, please? Ling Xi said fearfully.

Long Chen was merely joking. If he started to bully her the moment she returned to a human body, it might traumatize her, which would be bad.

Im kidding, Xiao Xi. How do you feel now? Long Chen sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the silly girl lovingly. Long Chen was still in a daze due to her beauty.

Ling Xis fearfulness slowly faded after the burning desire in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with gentle warmth. She thought about how he had found her some clothes and still had not touched her even though fifteen minutes had passed. As a result, she relaxed.

I feel like Im dreaming. I dont have any strength in my body; I guess its like when I was a newborn baby. This body made by the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus will surely break down if I attempt to cultivate though. But I feel good. It feels so good to be human

All her senses had returnedher sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Ling Xi savored them slowly. She had previously dreamed of this moment, and because of Long Chen, her dreams had been fulfilled.

Although she was still embarrassed, she mainly felt grateful towards Long Chen.

But Brother Chen, Im so cold

It was spring. Ling Xis body was more susceptible to the cold, so although she was wrapped in a thick bundle of blankets, she was still shivering.

This is my chance Long Chen thought greedily. Without a word, he lifted the blanket and slipped into bed. Ling Xi exclaimed, but to her surprise, he did not do anything. All he did was lay next to her, then he looked at her and said, If you trust me, use me to warm yourself up.

Really? Ling Xis eyes brightened. She hesitated for a while, leaning closer to Long Chen. She peered at him timidly, her cheeks turning red again. Her heart rate was increasing.

Seeing as she was still so hesitant, Long Chen reached out and pulled her in, so she lay by his side with her head on his arm. She squeaked in surprise and curled up into his chest like a small shrimp. Long Chens warm body and strong arm radiated a thick, masculine aura, making her little heart beat faster. Blushing, she shut her eyes tightly, her lashes trembling

An intoxicating lotus fragrance emanated from Ling Xis body, and her soft skin made Long Chens thoughts run wild. However, he loved Ling Xi very much, so despite having seen her extremely attractive and tempting body, he controlled himself.

Impatience would get him nowhere. Long Chen would bide his time. If Ling Xi was not completely willing, and he acted without her consent, he would definitely leave an unerasable shadow on her young heart

He pulled the pink covers up to wrap around Ling Xi, then he moved his head downwards and rested his chin on her soft and fragrant hair. This bodily contact made the shrimp-like Ling Xi shudder once, and her breathing quickened.

Just hug me. Dont overthink it. Im not a jerk, he said gently in her ear.

Ling Xi had an especially sensitive body since it was brand new. She felt his hot breath on her ear, which in turn warmed her whole body and made her tightened muscles relax. She leaned on Long Chen, and her mind melted even more when her body touched his.

Because she was only wearing Long Chens clothes and nothing underneath, Long Chen could easily look down her clothes to see skin. Plus, this shockingly soft girl was lying on his arm. He was like every man after all, and his body naturally burned, and little Long Chen was starting to stand up.

No way. I must not traumatize her. Plus, shes still young. Long Chen controlled himself. In truth, after experiencing such a tragic separation, being able to hold her in his arms, protect her, and warm her with his body heat was already enough to make him content.

Xiao Xi, dont be afraid. Were going to the Biyang Imperial Capital tomorrow! If Brother Chen says he wont touch you, he wont, Long Chen promised.

Really? Ling Xi gazed at him with her large eyes, twinkling in the dark of the night.

Ling Xi was touched by the determination and righteousness in his eyes. Tears started to well up in her eyes and she choked, Brother Chen, youre so good to me

When he saw how touched she was, he knew that he had made a smart choice. Holding himself back today would be good for the long term; one day he would get what he wanted, and he would not be a prude about it.

Be good and get some sleep. It will be a busy day tomorrow, Long Chen said mildly, patting her head.

I dont want to sleep; I want to talk to you! Brother Chen, what are we going to do at the Biyang Imperial Capital?

Ling Xi snuggled comfortably in his arms. With Long Chen here, she slowly let go of her worries. She did not want to leave such a warm embrace.

I heard from someone that there is a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit in the Biyang Imperial Capitals Counter Essence Realm. Now that I have become an Immortal Guard, I will be able to enter it. That is why were going there, he answered with a grin.

Huh? This was a huge surprise to Ling Xi. Although the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus was magical, it was nothing compared to the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. With that fruit, Ling Xi would be able to recover her cultivation and gain a real human body. That was a true rebirth. Right now, she was merely borrowing the lotus root for her body.

Ling Xi had only just woken from her endless sleep, yet she discovered that Long Chen had been working hard for her all along. She was so grateful that tears fell, and she sobbed, pouting at Long Chen. She cried harder and harder, and soon, his clothes were soaked through.

Why are you crying? Silly girl, you should be happy, he said while patting her fair cheek.

Ling Xi did not stop crying.

I wont want you anymore if you keep crying, he said, feigning anger.

No! Ling Xi waved her arms and reached out to hug his waist tightly, her soft chest pressed tightly on his body. Blood rushed to his head

No, I definitely want you! Breathing heavily, he moved her arms away because if they continued embracing this tightly, he might actually turn into a wild beast.

Oh! Ling Xi also realized that she was being too aggressive. Her face reddened and she buried her face into his shoulder

Brother Chen, what are we? she asked after a pause.

This was a question she struggled with. They had shared near-death experiences since the day they met. At the Star Devil Prison, Ling Xi had sacrificed her life for him, but Long Chen was determined to jump into the abyss with her. Even Xiaolang could tell that something was different about their relationship and left the room to keep watch without a word. Yet they had not had a direct conversation about this.

Long Chen had long wanted to talk about it, but he merely had not gotten the chance. He held her face in his hands and stared at the beautiful girl. Then, as quick as lightning, he kissed her soft lips.

She froze as if struck by lightning, her eyes wide as she stared at him in shock. It was just one kiss, but her entire body stiffened.

He stopped kissing her after a lingering moment, then patted her shocked face. His burning gaze met hers. He then lowered his voice and said, enunciating every word slowly, Ling Xi, I will protect you. No one can hurt you, and no one will take you away from me! You may wonder why I treat you so well, but Im telling you thisits because you are my woman! The love of my life, the love of every lifetime of mine! Ling Xi, you are Long Chens woman!

Ling Xis chest tightened at such passionate words. Her heart melted as she gazed into his burning eyes.

The memory of this man was etched deeply into her soul. A memory that would never fade away.

She was filled with sweetness, warmth, and joy, and everything else faded away. Neither of them could have imagined how difficult the road ahead would be, despite such noble promises. They did not know how many farewells they would have to bid before earning a lifetime of being by each others sides.

These two people who should not have met in the first place had found each other. If they wanted to be together, they were destined to face far more opposition than regular people.

But did Long Chen fear anything in the world?

He did not think too much. All he did was pull Ling Xis body tighter into his arms. He stared out at the starry sky outside the window, then started to tell her stories about his time in her absence, starting from how he woke up in the abyss of the Star Devil Prison, until he killed Emperor Yuan to become the most powerful person in Yuanling City.
