Chapter 157 (2/2)
Seeing how serious Long Chen was, Ye Zhiqiu was given a fright . She had almost ruined a Profound Spirit Fruit . She hastily put away the dagger .
“Then how should we do it?” asked Ye Zhiqiu .
Long Chen replied, “I wasn’t kidding . My body is somewhat special and I don’t need the Profound Spirit Fruit . Even if I ate it, it would be a complete waste . So, sister Zhiqiu, you can have this entire Profound Spirit Fruit . ”
Seeing how serious he was now, Ye Zhiqiu and Tang Wan-er both glanced at each other . Tang Wan-er laughed, “Sometimes this fellow’s words can be trusted . Sister, please accept it . ”
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, putting the Profound Spirit Fruit into her ring . She gratefully thanked, “Then I’ll thank both of you . Zhiqiu will remember this kindness . ”
“Ok, now that we’ve finished dividing the spoils, let’s go find a place to eat some fish . ” Tang Wan-er pulled on Ye Zhiqiu .
Long Chen shook his head and rolled his eyes . “You guys can go, but I’m not coming . ”
“If you don’t come then how will we have fish to eat?” raged Tang Wan-er .
“Is there a mistake here? Why must you eat my fish? Isn’t the person inviting others to eat you?” Long Chen was naturally a bit indignant .
“You’re my underling, so what’s yours is mine . Are you planning on rebelling?” Tang Wan-er said, acting as if that was as it should be .
“ . . . ”
Two hours later, at the end of a mountain valley was a clear pool where the fragrance of fish wafted over .
“Long Chen, you really are capable . You even managed to get Wonder Carps and Queen Bee Honey . ” Ye Zhiqiu let out an extremely rare bit of praise .
But naturally what Long Chen had brought out was just the ordinary honey with a bit of the Queen Bee Honey added into it to improve the flavor . If he really did just drink the Queen Bee Honey directly just for the taste, he would definitely be uncomfortable with how wasteful that was .
As Long Chen cooked more fish, he gave Ye Zhiqiu a thumbs up and exclaimed, “Sister Zhiqiu truly is someone who understands reason . You’re not like somepeople who eat and drink other people’s food without saying a single word . ”
Long Chen glanced at Tang Wan-er as he said that . Tang Wan-er was completely infatuated with the fish and Jade b.u.t.terfly Honey .
But her mood was just too good at this moment and she pretended as if she hadn’t heard Long Chen’s words . She knew he was intentionally needling her . If she became angry, that would just be falling for his wicked plans .
“Long Chen, I can understand why Lei Qianshang hates you . But I’m curious, why did Qi Xin become like a crazy dog as soon as he saw you?” Tang Wan-er asked somewhat puzzled .
“Ah, do you even need to ask? Of course it’s because he’s jealous of how handsome I am . ” Long Chen mumbled out with a mouthful of fish .
“I’m talking properly to you! Why are you like this!” Tang Wan-er raged .
“Don’t blame me . Normally I’m so proper, but whenever I see you I lose control . I guess I’m just someone who is easy to infect and contaminate,” helplessly said Long Chen .
“Scoundrel, you’re to the one who’s not normal, not me!” How could Tang Wan-er not understand his roundabout insult? She threw her fish bones at him .
Long Chen laughed and dodged . Seeing that she had started to truly become angry, he knew he couldn’t take it too far and hastily poured another cup of honey for both of them .
“The Queen Bee Honey you’re drinking now was something I obtained with his help . ” Long Chen told them about how he had ‘worked together’ with Qi Xin at the beehive . In any case, Long Chen didn’t feel that this was something that needed to be hidden .
When Long Chen finished his story, Ye Zhiqiu sighed and shook her head . “Qi Xin really is unlucky to have provoked you . ”
Tang Wan-er on the other hand had already lost any sense of decorum and was laying on Tang Wan-er’s shoulder, holding her stomach as she tried to breath through her laughter .
“Long Chen, you really are too… wicked . ” Tang Wan-er gasped for breath, her face red with another kind of beauty .
Only now did Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu understand why Qi Xin had immediately gone so crazy, even if it had been a bit purposeful at the end .
But at the beginning when he had been trembling from rage, that was definitely not faked . Hearing Long Chen’s explanation, they now completely understood . Anyone else would also be angered like that .
Looking at her laughing, Long Chen couldn’t stop himself from evilly saying, “Sister Wan-er, if you can say that again, but a bit more coyly, I would be able to accept it easier . ”
“Wicked Long Chen, you can’t even talk properly for more than a minute before returning to your nonsense . I won’t bother with you anymore . ” Tang Wan-er turned her head, purposely not looking at him .
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly gave him a warning, “Long Chen, although you are powerful, your cultivation base is only at the mid stage of Blood Condensation . You should be a bit more careful .
“Although we’ve caused Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin to suffer a lose this time, that doesn’t mean they’re weak . It’s just that we all have some apprehensions and don’t dare use our entire strength . Don’t get overconfident . ”
Ye Zhiqiu might be an icy person, but she was more reliable than Tang Wan-er . She had given him a warning when seeing him smiling and laughing carelessly all day .
Long Chen paused . “You mean none of you have used your full strength?”
“Yes . Although the Profound Spirit Fruit was important, the core disciple trial is even more important . No one wants to be injured before that time arrives . In just ten more days, that final trial will begin . Whether we can obtain a core disciple position will depend on it,” explained Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen nodded . No wonder he had felt as if something was wrong . Even he had suspected that a monster-cla.s.s expert’s strength would not have been limited to that level .
So originally they were all focused on the final trial . That made sense .
Long Chen suddenly asked Tang Wan-er, “Can you summon a wind blade and give me a good look?”
