Chapter 28 The Secret Behind the Princess

Having her slender hand be suddenly grabbed by Long Chen, Chu Yao’s pretty body shook and two red spots appeared over her cheeks .

A bit of panic flashed over her eyes, but she didn’t take her hand away . She secretly glanced at Long Chen and realized he was actually a bit puzzled .

When Long Chen glanced up at Chu Yao’s face, he momentarily forgot what he was doing . She was like a flowering blooming, her eyes like sparkling jewels, and it was simply impossible not to be moved by her beauty .

“Cough . ”

Chu Yao became even redder when Long Chen just foolishly looked at her . But within her beautiful eyes was happiness as well . With a cough, she turned her head down and didn’t dare look at Long Chen again . Only the gentle warmth transmitted from his hand continued to warm her heart .

Taking a deep breath, Long Chen calmed himself back down . She had an air of being too high to reach, and yet also the contradicting gentle softness of a woman .

The Chu Yao who had arrogantly captured him in a net and the current gentle and shy Chu Yao were completely different .

Suppressing his wildly jumping heart, Long Chen used his Spiritual Strength to follow along the meridians within Chu Yao’s hand and slowly enter into her Dantian .

Actually with Long Chen’s strength, at such a proximity it was entirely possible for him to examine Chu Yao without touching her .

But doing so would mean Chu Yao would be essentially naked in front of Long Chen . Maybe Long Chen wasn’t so against that, but he was afraid that afterwards she might once again capture him inside a net .

Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength gently entered into her Dantian . But when he saw what was going on, even with his self-control he couldn’t help having his expression turn ugly .

“What?” Chu Yao was alarmed at his dark gaze .

Long Chen’s anger was due to the fact that nine types of strange spiritual energy were currently locked and fixed within her Dantian .

Those nine strange spiritual energies were like nine saplings planted into a fertile farm; they were incessantly absorbing Chu Yao’s spiritual energy away, leaving her with only a fraction for her own use .

No wonder her spiritual energy was so frail and disorderly! So she was just like Long Chen and had been schemed against by others .

Even more infuriating was that there was a Spirit Root that released a dense Qi . Although he wasn’t sure what level she was at, Long Chen knew she was definitely a rare genius seen once in a thousand years .

But such a genius had been wasted away like this . But just this wouldn’t have aroused Long Chen’s killing intent .

Long Chen had found that those nine strange spiritual energies were following along her Spirit Root, and that in the future when she married and lost her virginity, the spiritual energy that had been absorbed by them for years would be silently s.n.a.t.c.hed away!

That was the most hateful thing . A princess of this generation, a beauty that could topple cities, had been used by someone as a chess piece . This was clearly the result of some sort of scheme .

And as for Chu Yao, she didn’t seem to know anything about it! Long Chen couldn’t help feeling empathy for this beautiful woman .

“Long Chen, what’s going on?”

His expression was complicated, and Chu Yao was somewhat alarmed at it .

“Chu Yao, do you trust me?” Long Chen hesitated for a moment before solemnly asking her this .

Seeing his extremely serious manner, Chu Yao also sensed something . But she didn’t hesitate and she held Long Chen’s gaze as she said, “You are the person I trust the most . ”

Long Chen heart warmed . “Your Dantian has been altered by others . ”

But what surprised Long Chen was that Chu Yao didn’t have that great of a reaction . A sad helplessness appeared in her eyes .

Looking at the distant mountain peaks, her jade hands gently brushed back her hair that was blown wild with the wind . She quietly said, “If you say this secret out loud, you might be implicated with the people from my family . Are you not afraid?”

“You already knew?”

“Can you answer me first?” asked Chu Yao .

Long Chen bitterly smiled . “Since we’ve chosen to trust each other, then even if I were to lose my life, it would be worth it . ”

“Trust? Trust?”

Chu Yao mumbled that word over and over . She suddenly threw herself at Long Chen’s chest and began to weep loudly . Her tears flowed out as if a dam had been broken, as if she wanted all her grievances to be swept away .

Despite having such a beautiful woman in his arms, Long Chen didn’t have the slightest intention of being charming . Instead his heart was also filled with a kind of mourning .

Long Chen had been even worse off than Chu Yao . His Spirit Root, Spirit Bone, and Spirit Blood had all been stolen . If he hadn’t suddenly fused with a Pill G.o.d’s soul, he would probably still be completely in the dark .

At some point his arms had wrapped around her slender waist and tightly hugged her . Smelling the scent of her hair, it felt as if they were the last two people on earth .

After crying for forever, Chu Yao finally stopped her sobbing . Long Chen’s chest was already completely wet from her tears .

Her face suddenly turned completely red and she quickly escaped Long Chen’s embrace . She turned away from him, but inside she was filled with both happiness and hesitation .
