Chapter 296: When Will We Consummate Our Relationship
Chapter 296: When Will We Consummate Our Relationship
In truth, that Fire Essence was an extra to the Ninth Prince. That was why he put it in his study.
The killing intent that rose within him was not due to losing the Fire Essence, but because Long Chen was putting pressure on him.
Long Chen had grown from a nameless minor character, one that he could squash at any time, to a person who was quickly catching up to him.
The group felt all sorts of different emotions when they saw Long Chen defeat Yu Chong. The members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang were initially still mocking Long Chen, but now they had received an invisible slap across their faces.
The weak and the cowardly will only receive endless bullying and humiliation. If I had not taken the risk to fight the brat, Im afraid I would not even have been able to lift my head around these people. But now it will be different Long Chenthought to himself.
He deactivated his Dragon Soul Transformation, put away the Azure Dragon Halberd, and no longer looked at his defeated opponent. He turned to the Ninth Prince and said, Your Highness, you were the witness. I believe the outcome of the duel is clear?
Mhm. You have defeated Yu Chong. According to the promise, the Fire Essence belongs to you. Old Yan, go up and get it, said the Ninth Prince with a small smile, hiding the emotions in his heart.
Old Yan nodded, taking a glance at Long Chen. Then he went up to the ceiling to retrieve it. He handed the Fire Refining Essence to Long Chen before the guilty eyes of the Heavenly Wolf Gang.
There was a lot of heat radiating from the Fire Essence, as well as powerful light. Long Chen hurriedly put it in his Universe Pouch before it brought harm to Ling Xis eyes.
Thank you, Your Highness. Also, Ling Xi and Xiaolang will be staying at Yuqin Palace during my time at the Counter Essence Realm, Long Chen suddenly said.
Oh? The Ninth Prince thought Long Chen had already declined the offer since he did not truly trust him. So why was he willing to hand over the people dearest to him?
Thats good. You dont have to worry. I promise you that Miss Ling Xi will be completely safe in my palace, said the Ninth Prince with a smile, though there was an unidentifiable twinkle in his eyes.
Seeing as there was nothing else for them to do, the Heavenly Wolf Gang glared hard at Long Chen, then prepared to excuse themselves.
Its late. Ill send someone to arrange for your quarters. After the gang left, the Ninth Prince made arrangements for Ling Xi and Long Chen, then he left as well.
Within a luxurious but cozy room, Long Chen stood with his back leaning against the wall, hugging Ling Xi.
Xiao Xi, are you sure you want to stay in Yuqin Palace? he asked worriedly. He was under no illusions about the Ninth Princes intentions. Allowing Ling Xi to stay here was the same as putting a goat in a tigers jaws. He had only agreed because Ling Xi was silently hinting for him to do it.
Brother Chen, do you not have any confidence in me? How can a weakling at the Sixth River Stage do anything to me? Plus, wont Xiaolang be here? If I cant stay alive, Ill abandon this body and return to the Ling Xi Sword. Youre going to get me the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit anyway. This body has many inconveniences, so its fine if I abandon it, Ling Xi said mischievously.
Youre right. But getting our hands on the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus wasnt easy. Plus, weve barely gotten to spend any time with each other; it would be a pity to abandon this body.
Long Chen finally understood her plan. The Ninth Prince was interested in Ling Xi, but he would not use an extreme method like killing Long Chen directly to get Ling Xi by force. This meant that he was a proud person who saw actions like that as beneath him. What he wanted was Ling Xis heart. But Ling Xis heart was with Long Chen, so how could he ever get it?
And if he went crazy in the end, Ling Xi could abandon the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus and return to the Ling Xi Sword. No one here could harm the sword.
We dont have a choice. We didnt expect the Ninth Prince to be a bad person before this. He only accidentally revealed his intentions today. If we knew earlier, Xiaolang and I would have stayed at Goldfish Island and not come here. Now that he has targeted me, someone as powerful as him will be able to find me wherever I go. I might as well stay here and await the good news from you, Ling Xi explained patiently, worried that Long Chen would feel too stressed out.
Their relationship had grown to an unbreakable level.
After hearing her out, Long Chens mind opened up. He no longer dwelled on his worries. Since the Ninth Prince could not get what he wanted no matter what he did, what was there to be afraid of?
As long as he obtained the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, he would be able to run far away. He would be stronger by then, and if the Ninth Prince tried to stop him, he would stab him with his halberd.
Ninth Prince, O Ninth Prince. You let me become an Immortal Guard and gave me a chance to go to the Counter Essence Realm. If you had been a good person, I would have been willing to be friends and return the favor in the future. However, now that you have set your eyes on my darling, dont you blame me for being vicious.
Long Chen had always refused to be bullied by anyone. Right now, he was a subordinate in a foreign faction, so he had no choice but to hold it in. If he ever had the chance, Long Chen would get his revenge, no matter who they were!
Harming Ling Xi was a huge taboo to Long Chen. He would kill any man who had the slightest intention of hurting her. Since the Ninth Prince dared to cross the line, he had received a sentence.
Xiao Xi, you and Xiaolang stay here and be good. Ill get the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit very soon and take you two away from here. With my current cultivation speed, perhaps no one will be able to stop me then.
Ever since obtaining the Inherited Blood Essence, he possessed great confidence.
Brother Chen, I know! Youre so long-winded! Like a woman! Ling Xi made a face.
Ling Xi, youre the woman! Wait, dont I need to make you into one? Long Chen chuckled, his mood lifting.
How? Ling Xi asked naively.
Youll see! Long Chen chuckled strangely and picked her delicate body up. With a whoosh, he moved to the side of the bed and put her down. He stretched his arms outwards, then pulled her into them.
What are you doing? Brother Chen, youre so heavy! Ling Xi panicked a little, sensing his burning aura. Her face reddened and she hurriedly tried to push him away. Unfortunately, she was a normal person right now and could not move him at all.
The fragrance of lotus wafted from her body, which ignited a fire in Long Chen. The startled and embarrassed Ling Xi in his arms looked so cute, with her watery, swooning eyes and gentle panting. All of this made Long Chens blood surge.
Ling Xi, can I ask you something? Long Chen knew that Ling Xi was a very traditional person. He would not dare to do anything that would traumatize her. After all, it didnt seem like she knew anything at this point.
What is it? Ling Xi felt her own body temperature increase as she felt the warmth from his body. This feeling made her yearn for him but also miserable. It felt as if her heart had risen into the air but could not go up or come back down.
Have you decided when we will consummate our relationship? Long Chen asked shamelessly.
Ling Xi had heard about consummating a relationship before. It seemed that through this process, she would transform from a girl to a woman. Ling Xi faintly guessed what he was referring to.
You jerk! You bastard! Only after you die! Long Chens question terrified her, and she pushed even harder.
Indeed, she was still averse to the idea
Then Ill die now! Long Chen let out a guffaw, ready to scare Ling Xi. That was when Xiaolang entered the room. Startled, Long Chen jumped off the bed at lightning speed, staring at Xiaolang awkwardly with a reddened face.
Xiaolang froze and his eyes widened. Then, as if startled, he quickly turned and ran out of the room.
Brother Chen! Get out!
Long Chen himself was embarrassed after being seen by Xiaolang, so one could only imagine how Ling Xi was feeling. Seeing as her embarrassment had turned to anger, he hurriedly comforted her a little, then he ran out.
Although Ling Xi had become more mature, when she raged, it was still scary.
When he found Xiaolang outside, he pretended as if nothing had happened and regarded Xiaolang for a while. He asked, Have you swallowed and absorbed the Fire Essence? And have you become a Category Four Earth-tier already?
Xiaolang nodded.
After the confirmation, Long Chen was stunned. It was no wonder the Burning Heaven Emperor praised Xiaolangs talent so much. As long as the Sun Devouring Wolf received enough fire elemental treasures, it would grow miraculously fast.
Usually, it was difficult for demonic beasts to level up, but Xiaolang was leveling up at a speed faster than humans.
Sitting down on a boulder, Long Chen looked up at the starry sky and said, Im heading to the Counter Essence Realm tomorrow. You must always stay by Ling Xis side and protect her. Once I get the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, well find a place to hide and cultivate. When we become stronger, well return to take your revenge. What do you think?
Xiaolang nodded, looking at him gratefully.
His enemy was the imperial family, yet Long Chen had volunteered to help him take revenge without hesitation.
Were both cultivating Divine Fire Clone. Since I succeeded first, let me tell you about my cultivation experience. In the future, lets cultivate together again if we find something good.
Xiaolang possessed talent in cultivating combat techniques too. Although a wolfs meridians differed from human meridians, it was still a sentient being from the same world. Since Xiaolang was still human, he might actually succeed through exploration.
While conversing with Xiaolang, Long Chen continued to condense his fire seed. He found that the most difficult thing about Divine Fire Clone was condensing the first clone. Afterwards, he would only need to replicate the process.
After spending the whole night with Xiaolang, Long Chen left for the Counter Essence Realm the next day.
