Chapter 157 You’re Very Dull

Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were both completely shocked . They stared at him, but a moment later Tang Wan-er’s shock faded to be replaced with complete contempt .

“Nonsense . ”

“Huh, how did you know?” Long Chen said, stunned .

Looking at Long Chen’s expression, Tang Wan-er couldn’t help laughing . Her released laughter was like a peach blossom blooming, extremely alluring .

Tang Wan-er lightly tapped him, scolding, “Rascal, you’re not allowed to make me laugh . If I laugh too much I’ll get wrinkles . ”

But although she said that, she was still laughing beautifully, her voice like silver bells melodiously tinkling .

Long Chen glanced from Tang Wan-er to Ye Zhiqiu and came to a sudden comprehension . “No wonder sister Zhiqiu never laughs . ”

Ye Zhiqiu was momentarily blank before icily staring at him . “You’re very dull . ”

Long Chen awkwardly laughed, “Hehe, it’s a joke! Don’t be so serious . ”

Tang Wan-er was already hunched from laughing so much . Long Chen shrugged, putting on a helpless expression, his meaning being that it was she who was laughing at you, not me .

Finally Tang Wan-er finished laughing, feeling that her face had even become sore from laughing so much . Gently rubbing her cheeks, she smiled at Long Chen, “It really is surprising an empty-headed fool like you can be so funny . ”

“Hehe, I have many good aspects . What, are you interested? If your heart was interested it would be best .

“I trust that with your apt.i.tude and talent, as long as you work hard enough, there will eventually come a day when I will also return your feelings . But remember, you must act quickly .

“The current era is one of intense compet.i.tion . Those who are early win, while those who are late suffer calamity . Youngsters must be filled with drive . When they see an opportunity, strike like lightning in case it goes by too fast . ”

Long Chen solemnly said all this like a respected elder patiently teaching his descendants, a bright glow of knowledge covering his face .

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Long Chen strangely . It seemed the current Long Chen was a far cry from her impression of him .

“Hey, can you move your vulgar hand from my shoulder?” Tang Wan-er glanced at him disdainfully .

“Aiya, I was too engrossed . Cough, my bad, it was purely my hand’s fault . ” Long Chen laughed and took back his hand .

“Anyways, Long Chen, we should still split this Profound Spirit Fruit . This is very important to you,” said Ye Zhiqiu .

Although Long Chen had said he didn’t want it, she was sure he was just joking . Ye Zhiqiu wasn’t someone who didn’t know her own limits . This Profound Spirit Fruit was too rare . She couldn’t take it all for herself .

“Long Chen, you should split it with sister Zhiqiu . For me, this Profound Spirit Fruit doesn’t have much use .

“I was just fighting because I didn’t want to let that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lei Qianshang to get it too easily . Furthermore, sister Zhiqiu and I have formed an alliance . And to tell the truth, I also only put in so much effort for you . ”

Seeing that Long Chen’s expression became a bit odd, Tang Wan-er hastily continued, “Hey, don’t get any weird thoughts! I was fighting for a competent subordinate, nothing more . I just wanted to raise a powerful helper . ”

“Wan-er, you’re so good to me! How can I repay you? I’m absolutely penniless right now . The only thing of value I have right now is my pure and innocent body . Ah, fine, I’ll give it to you,” Long Chen sputtered out while he was ‘choked with emotion’ .

“Scoundrel, are you asking for death?” Tang Wan-er gave him a vicious pinch .

“Ah yes, pinch me as much as you like . In any case, I’ve already given myself to you . To become one of sister Wan-er’s family, even when I die, I will be sister Wan-er’s family…” Long Chen’s physical body was powerful while Tang Wan-er didn’t specialize in strength in that way . Her pinches didn’t really hurt him at all .

“Pfft…”

Both Long Chen and Tang Wan-er stiffened for a moment . That was because that sound hadn’t been from either one of them . They both quickly turned to stare at Ye Zhiqiu . They saw her covering her face and turning away .

Ye Zhiqiu also knew how to laugh? Both Long Chen and Tang Wan-er stopped whatever they were doing to stare at her .

But when Ye Zhiqiu once more turned back, her face had once more become ice . Shaking her head, she said, “You two are both dull . I’ll split the Profound Spirit Fruit now . ”

She opened the jade case and took out a dagger, about to cut it .

“You must not!” Long Chen was startled . No longer smiling mischievously, he extended his hand to stop her .

“The Profound Spirit Fruit is a natural treasure . It rejects metal, and so if you touch it with that dagger, this Profound Spirit Fruit’s energy will drop by more than half,” explained Long Chen seriously .

Both of them were surprised . Their families both had extremely great backers and backgrounds . They knew the Xuantian Monastery’s trial region would contain a single Profound Spirit Fruit that would mature during the trial .

That was a huge opportunity for them . All five monster-cla.s.s experts had long since been told that the Profound Spirit Fruit was their greatest opportunity here .

But all they knew about it was that it had an extremely high probability to allow Blood Condensation experts perfectly advance to the Muscle Rebirth realm .

As for its taboos and is efficiency, they were completely unclear . And so Ye Zhiqiu had almost commited an extremely grave error .
