Chapter 164 Boosting Morale
“Brothers and sisters, everyone look here . ”
Long Chen waved his hand, getting Tang Wan-er’s faction’s attention .
Looking at how confident and at ease his movements were as well as that calm smile, Tang Wan-er couldn’t help lamenting . How come Long Chen always seemed to do things so easily?
“Everyone has already seen just how powerful those monsters in the caves are . So in order to encourage everyone, our G.o.ddess Wan-er has promised everyone that whoever manages to pa.s.s will get a reward of a kiss… aiya!”
He had only just gotten that out when a sharp pain came from his leg . Tang Wan-er had kicked him . She now raged, “What random nonsense are you spewing? When did I ever say that?”
Long Chen acted puzzled, apologizing, “Oh, I heard wrong, my bad, my bad . ”
Turning back to everyone, he continued, “I was wrong just now . The winners won’t get one kiss from sister Wan-er, but two kisses! Aiya, how come you’re kicking me again?!”
“Scoundrel, when did I ever say that?! What are you randomly spouting?!” Tang Wan-er had turned red from rage . He really dared to make any kind of joke .
“Ok, sorry everyone . Sister Wan-er is a bit too stingy . Then forget about it . But there will definitely be rewards . Then how about I change the reward? Any beautiful women who pa.s.ses can get a kiss from me, Long Chen!” loudly shouted Long Chen .
Those people all burst into laughter . That tense atmosphere was immediately lightened greatly by him .
Only now did Tang Wan-er realize Long Chen’s intentions . She knew that although Long Chen was strange, he was an extremely prideful person inside .
Otherwise there was no way he would have refused to lower his head to fight with monsters like Qi Xin and Lei Qianshang . For him to drag himself down to make everyone laugh was definitely a large kind of sacrifice on his part .
“Haha, you guys are laughing . Fine, I’ll just take that are your a.s.sent . Trust me, I, Long Chen, have never eaten my words,” Long Chen said to those maidens in their faction .
Those maidens immediately turned shy . Although they knew he was joking, they still blushed .
“Ok, let’s get serious . Since everyone has gathered together, that means we all have the same goals and dreams .
“We all want to become experts; we all want to bring honor to our ancestors; we want to surpa.s.s our ancestors, letting our descendants forever remember our names!” Long Chen’s was filled with pa.s.sion . His voice slowly ignited the fire in the others .
Tu Fang watched as everyone was pumped up by Long Chen and admiration appeared in his eyes . Long Chen had definitely completely comprehended the hearts of these disciples from powerful families .
He knew that pride filled them, as well as a bit of self-disdain . That was because all their accomplishments up till this point had not really been theirs, but the achievements their ancestors had left for them .
And that was why Long Chen had said that they would surpa.s.s their ancestors, letting their descendants forever remember their names . That immediately struck a chord in the core of their hearts, lighting up a powerful desire for battle, causing them to completely forget their fear .
First he joked, loosening the tense atmosphere, and then he ignited their pa.s.sion, causing them to be filled with a desire for battle . That was definitely an extremely well executed plan .
But then as everyone’s pa.s.sions were soaring, his voice once more became heavy . “Do you guys know? In our hearts, sister Wan-er is a G.o.ddess, an idol to be wors.h.i.+pped . She is a kindhearted beauty, someone from the heavens who has descended down upon us . She is an unparalleled beauty, a fairy too high to reach .
“But do you all know that to herself, she is no G.o.ddess, but an ordinary maiden .
“She also knows how to be aggrieved, sad, and helpless . You guys don’t know that behind her strong exterior is a concealed gentle heart . ”
When Long Chen reached this point, Tang Wan-er sniffled . She was almost unable to stop her tears and she quickly turned away .
She was definitely a proud genius, but she also had a weak side . Having to stay in the spotlight and be a powerful pillar of support was actually extremely tiring for her . But she had no way around it and had always endured .
That scoundrel truly was a cheat! Tang Wan-er turned away, covering up her face as tears welled out of her eyes .
But this movement was still seen by everyone . Their hearts ached for her . They had never thought their G.o.ddess had this weaker side . She also needed them to protect her!
“In her heart, you are not underlings, but her family . Each one of you is one of her brothers, one of her sisters .
“So if any one of you end up dying, she will be extremely sad and will even cry . If you don’t want our G.o.ddess to be hurt and cry, can you promise for her that you will return alive from the trial?”
Long Chen’s final words were intentionally said extremely solemnly . His voice was like thunder; not only did it ring out in their ears, but it even sunk into their hearts and shook their spirits .
“We promise we will return alive!”
Everyone shouted out their response . They had already forgotten about their own lives . But now in order to make sure their G.o.ddess would live happily, they cherished their own lives even more .
Tu Fang and the other Elders all looked at each other and smiled . This Long Chen truly was praiseworthy . Even these old fellows were also a bit moved . This little fellow’s mouth could practically even raise the dead!
He was actually able to arouse these spoiled and undisciplined princes and princesses! That was practically a heaven-defying ability!
“Hmph, what is a promise supposed to do? Is a promise more important than strength?” That voice was filled with ridicule .
Everyone turned to angrily glare . That voice had come from Lei Qianshang who was disdainfully looking at them .
“Hey, don’t listen to him! If you end up distracted just because a dog yelps, how will you become powerful in the future?” lightly said Long Chen, pulling back everyone’s attention .
