Chapter 11 Flawless Beauty

An absolutely beautiful woman was standing before Long Chen . She had willowy eyebrows over limpid clear eyes, cherry red lips popped over her pale skin, and a cascading waterfall of hair descended all the way to her waist . When she saw Long Chen enter and their gazes met, Long Chen was struck dumb .

That young woman appeared like a fairy from out of this word . It was as if due to her very presence, the entire room had become a wonderland . For a moment, Long Chen was unable to do anything but stare foolishly at her .

Her cheeks reddened slightly and she turned away from him . When Mrs . Long saw this, she scolded, ”Chen-er, hurry up and greet Meng Qi . She's your future bride . ”

Mrs . Long's face lit up with happiness when she said bride, but Long Chen was extremely startled since he had never even heard of such a thing .

”Greetings Ms . Meng Qi . ” Seeing his mother's stare, Long Chen finally recovered and bowed to her .

A slight blush crept over Meng Qi's face and she also curtsied back slightly . Although her cherry lips moved slightly, she didn't say anything back in response .

Seeing all this, Mrs . Long smiled and said, ”Meng Qi, you and Long Chen are both youngsters . You two can go chat for a bit while I go prepare some food . ”

Giving Long Chen an encouraging glance, Mrs . Long withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room .

Facing such a beautiful woman, Long Chen had a feeling of having no idea what to do for the first time . After a long pause, he finally managed to choke out a single phrase . ”Please, sit . ”

Meng Qi shook her head . A complicated expression flashed over her face when she glanced at Long Chen . ”I have something to say to you . Can we change locations?”

Long Chen frowned slightly, but he still nodded and the two of them left the Long estate and found a more secluded spot .

Once they arrived, Meng Qi reached into her robes and slowly pulled out a seal . Long Chen almost cried out in shock when he saw it, for he recognized it to be a Summoning Contract that only Beast Masters could use .

A fluctuation rippled through s.p.a.ce, interrupting Long Chen's thoughts . A huge monster over ten meters long with the head of a lion and body of an eagle appeared in front of them with a majestic aura coming off of it .

Although Long Chen was unable to cultivate before, he still had managed to study up on ill.u.s.trations of Magical Beasts . This beast was called the Lion Eagle, a terrifying second rank Magical Beast .

The Lion Eagle in front of them had clearly not reached its complete maturity, but in terms of battle strength, ordinary Blood Condensation cultivators were not its match .

This normally vicious beast was exceptionally docile in front of Meng Qi as it quietly lay on the ground .

Meng Qi lightly walked up onto the Lion Eagle's back and then said to Long Chen, ”Come up . ”

Long Chen glanced at Meng Qi and seeing a hint of haste, he muttered quietly under his breath and walked on .

This was the first time Long Chen had ever climbed onto the back of a Magical Beast and he couldn't help being a bit nervous that it might accidentally go crazy and start eating people .

The Lion Eagle suddenly spread its wings and its huge body brought the two of them soaring into the sky . Long Chen was almost thrown off when it leapt into the air .

Fortunately, a pale hand supported Long Chen, letting him awkwardly recover . But when he saw a faint amus.e.m.e.nt on Meng Qi's face that seemed to want to laugh, Long Chen couldn't help feeling embarra.s.sed .

”Ahaha, I'm just a bit clumsy . . . ” Long Chen smiled slightly and found a lame excuse .

Meng Qi laughed at that, but she quickly felt embarra.s.sed and turned around .

The Lion Eagle's flying speed was very great and in just a few minutes they flew out of the imperial capital and descended onto Sunset Mountain .

The setting sun spilled out a blood-red color that covered the entire imperial capital, an extremely beautiful scene .

Both of them stood at the peak of the mountain, neither of them saying anything . As Long Chen stared at the imperial capital, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes .

”Long Chen, I . . . ” Meng Qi hesitated a long while before finally sighing and opening her red lips .

”Are you here to get out of the marriage?” Long Chen didn't turn to look at her . His gaze stayed focused on the imperial capital .

Meng Qi's heart shook and a trace of disbelief appeared on her beautiful face . ”You . . . already knew?”

”I guessed . ” Long Chen slowly turned to look at her beautiful faultless face and said, ”Thank you . ”

”You're thanking me?” Meng Qi asked in confusion .

”Thank you for not bringing this up in front of my mother . You didn't hurt her old heart, and you also let me save face, so I thank you . ” Long Chen smiled .

Meng Qi carefully looked at Long Chen . A couple days ago, she had already learned about Long Chen's situation the past few years .

She had thought that he would become angry when he learnt why she had come here and maybe even go completely mad and wildly curse her . But she had never thought he would give this kind of response .

”I know you're a proud and gifted woman, for you are already able to control a second rank Magical Beast at such a young age . As for me, I'm just a normal person . We're from two different worlds, so you're not wrong to want this . There's no need for you to feel bad about it . ” Long Chen laughed lightly and his smile was very warm and comforting .

But when Meng Qi looked at this smiling expression, her heart ached in an indescribable way . This young man, practically a boy, had already suffered so much misfortune, and now she was personally leaving another scar on him and pressing salt onto the wound . Was this not too heartless?
