Chapter 313 – Long Chen’s Return
“Fine! Since that’s the case, I won’t say it again. Don’t blame me for doing this! I’ve wanted to treat you kindly, but you’ve left me with no choice—we will do it the hard way! You forced me to do this! Ling Xi, this is your fault!” The Ninth Prince’s eyes were bloodshot. Ling Xi’s adamant gaze made him explode in anger. He had destroyed his facade in just a single moment.
“What do you mean I forced you to do this? This is your problem, not mine. Stop blaming it on others! Don’t you know that being magnanimous is the best quality a man can have? Even though Brother Chen can be a pervert from time to time, he’s so much more reliable than you!” Ling Xi did not back down at all.
She hated the Ninth Prince! She was born in a much richer environment than him, and she had seen numerous geniuses beyond the Ninth Prince’s level. Ling Xi herself was also akin to royalty, and now the Ninth Prince was using his inferior status to force her to become his woman? It was nothing but foolishness!
Ling Xi loved Long Chen without taking his status and background into consideration.
“Brother Chen? Long Chen, right? He’s merely at the Second River Stage. I can just ask one of my men to kill him! I will just send a signal, and he will die in the Counter Essence Realm. Do you think I won’t?” The Ninth Prince’s eyes were obscene.
“There are no factions stronger than the imperial family! And there are no women that cannot be mine! Ling Xi, you are a bitch! Since you won’t let me take your heart, I will just take your body!” The Ninth Prince lost control and slowly approached her. Killing intent slowly seeped out of his body.
Elder Yan dared not do anything. The Ninth Prince wanted to take Ling Xi, and as his subordinate, he could only stand and watch. Mo Xiaolang was blocking the Ninth Prince, and Elder Yan knew that dealing with the wolf was his job.
“How dare you call me a bitch!” Ling Xi was angry. She had never met someone as despicable as the Ninth Prince. She didn’t even want to talk to him any further after seeing how disgusting he was.
She recalled Long Chen and how they first met. She recalled her life after meeting him, and all of the adventures they had been through, especially when he jumped into the abyss of the Star Devil Prison just to save her.
From there onwards, Ling Xi swore that her heart would belong to Long Chen. She truly believed that no one else would do something like that for someone like her, who was technically not a living person anymore.
Brother Chen, I’m not sure if we will ever meet again. I miss you so much, and I know you are working hard for me … I’ve used up all of my luck on meeting you and going on a few more adventures before I truly die. I kept thinking that having my body destroyed by that sword was the biggest tragedy of my life, while meeting you was my biggest fortune. I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad, but at least I don’t have any regrets …
As she longed for Long Chen more and more, tears welled up in her pure eyes.
I kept thinking that I would be able to marry you one day and live a happy life. But now I see that that’s just a dream. We have been jumping from one disaster to another. Ever since we met in Baiyang Town, we kept running into problems one after another. You’ve always stood in front of me and never backed down. You are a true man, and my father said that a true man would never be defeated … Maybe my luck has truly run out … I think I no longer have any way to stay by your side …
The future was unpredictable. Even though Ling Xi had a strong heart, she was afraid of uncertainty, especially since Long Chen was not here.
When the Ninth Prince approached them, Xiaolang got close to Ling Xi and suggested, “Sister Ling Xi, I have one more idea. I can use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire to make a cage and trap them!”
Ling Xi stopped crying. She hadn’t thought of this before.
“But that means that you will have to make a sacrifice, right? The drawback from using so much power should be quite intense.”
“I won’t be able to use the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire for ten days …” Xiaolang sighed.
He would lose almost half of his battle strength if he used the cage. Currently, the strongest aspect of the Sun Devouring Wolf was its potential. It lacked offensive power, and the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire was currently his strongest attack.
Ling Xi shook her head. “Xiaolang, leave me. Don’t worry about me.”
Xiaolang was close to tears from being pushed to desperation. He turned around and glared at the Ninth Prince while growling. Both he and Ling XI were very stubborn, and neither of them would back down.
“Ling Xi, you must feel very powerless right now. Unfortunately, Long Chen is not here to save you!” The Ninth Prince chuckled. He had decided to use force to subdue her, so he unleashed his strength as a Sixth River Stage cultivator. His strength was like a mountain to the powerless Ling Xi.
Her face paled when the immense pressure hit her.
Ling Xi had been pushed into a corner and had long given up. She kept telling Xiaolang to run, but he ignored her. Xiaolang increased his body size and prepared himself for battle.
The massive Sun Devouring Wolf growled at the Ninth Prince.
“My Lord, let me deal with this beast. Please enjoy your time.” Elder Yan stood by the Ninth Prince.
“Good. I will leave it to you. We will both take on one person. You handle the beast while I handle the beauty. Let’s see who’s better, shall we?” The Ninth Prince laughed.
“With your strength, you will be able to last three days and three nights,” Elder Yan said shamelessly.
The situation became even more tense when Elder Yan said that. Ling Xi could not chase Xiaolang away, making her feel very anxious. She didn’t know how she would face Long Chen If something happened to Xiaolang.
“Have you finally tasted despair? Ling Xi, come here and let me make love to you!” The Ninth Prince’s eyes were lustful as he extended his arm towards her.
At the most critical moment, Ling Xi saw a shadow running towards them from across the lake. The shadow split the lake’s water as it ran towards the island.
With a boom, the wave crashed onto Goldfish Island and sprayed water everywhere. A crimson humanoid holding a halberd appeared. The man jumped and positioned himself in between Ling Xi and the Ninth Prince.
The impact of his landing caused the entire island to shake.
Ling Xi started shedding tears when she saw the blood-red back covered in scales and spikes. That familiar back belonged to none other than Long Chen! Ling Xi thought she was dreaming, but the pain from her arm was real when she pinched it. This was reality!
Long Chen stood in front of her once more without hesitation. Ling Xi knew she would be safe no matter what he was facing, be it the mountains, oceans, or even weapons.
He ran over as fast as he could the moment he heard that Ling Xi had been brought here by the Ninth Prince. Afraid that he was not fast enough, he had transformed along the way to arrive faster! He was ready to fight the Ninth Prince the moment he appeared!
Xiaolang stared in disbelief before feeling delighted by Long Chen’s arrival! Long Chen was their leader, and Xiaolang didn’t know what to do without him. Since he was here now, there was bound to be a battle to the death. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
Xiaolang sensed that Long Chen was completely clouded in killing intent. He had even detected that Long Chen had reached the Fourth River Stage, possessing strength beyond the Fifth River Stage after transforming.
Both Ling Xi and Xiaolang felt the pressure dissipate after seeing Long Chen’s back in front of them.
Long Chen extended his blood-red arm and slowly pushed Ling Xi backwards.
“Xiao Xi, wait here. Let me show you what a real man is.” Long Chen’s voice was calm, but the sense of authority behind it was undeniable. The killing intent coming off him made the Ninth Prince anxious.
Ling Xi didn’t know what to say, nor did she know how strong Long Chen was. But she knew that all she needed to do was to listen to him. She slowly backed away while crying and looking at his back.
“Long Chen?” The Ninth Prince was confused. It hasn’t even been a month since he entered the Counter Essence Realm, so why is he here?
“Why did you come out of the Counter Essence Realm?”
It was stupid for the Ninth Prince to still be discussing the Counter Essence Realm at this point.
“Do you really want to know? I will tell you for the price of your head. I’ve killed quite a few people recently, and today I will add you to that list. How does that sound?” Long Chen pointed his halberd at the Ninth Prince.
His killing intent radiated outwards.
