Chapter 178 (2/2)
But he didn’t know why, but he had chosen to use the most direct method of fighting to resolve this . Furthermore, after that, there had been some hidden pleasure within him . That caused him to not know whether to laugh or cry .
“Wan-er, you should learn a bit from Long Chen . Look, he understands he made an error and accepts it . But look at you . I say a couple things and you start to retort . When will you begin to grow up a bit…?” Qing Yu sighed worriedly .
Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen who was now acting like an obedient child . Her sister Qing Yu had clearly been duped by that scoundrel . She viciously cut at Long Chen with her eyes .
Over the next few days, Long Chen was dragged by Tang Wan-er all over their mountain .
They could only stay within this area during this time . If they were to rashly leave, perhaps that would violate some random rule of the monastery which would be troublesome .
The other disciples also explored as well . Everyone was extremely curious about every tree and gra.s.s around here .
Tang Wan-er and Long Chen were strolling down a small path, looking at the rare flowers and gra.s.s in the surroundings . Tang Wan-er emotionally sighed, “After so many years of hards.h.i.+ps, I’ve finally entered the Xuantian Monastery . This place really is wonderland . ”
“Hehe, not to pour cold water over your enthusiasm, but this is them giving you a little candy after giving you a slap . After this candy, another slap is about to come . We should make our preparations,” laughed Long Chen .
Tang Wan-er also laughed with an indescribable beauty . “Long Chen, how come you never act your age? Your words are always so experienced . ”
Long Chen sighed, “Perhaps it was from being infected by that old ghost within that cave . ”
His current disposition was completely related to what he had experienced . He also felt he hadn’t managed to live his own youth before directly stepping into adulthood .
He never had any things in common to talk about with these companions of his who were around the same age as him . Sometimes even he would feel extremely lonesome inside .
So that was why Long Chen would usually most likely just joke around with people like Tang Wan-er, only rarely saying what he actually thought . Most of them were simply not on the same level of thinking as him .
“Now that you mention, didn’t that devil corpse say you had tricked him? How did you trick him? Why did he hate you so much?” curiously asked Tang Wan-er .
To cause a Devil expert’s soul to become so furious, Long Chen really was capable . Perhaps his mouth was even able to anger a corpse to life .
“Perhaps I failed to live up to his love,” said Long Chen with a complicated expression, seeming to recall memories of love .
“Ugh, your nonsense is nauseating . ”
Tang Wan-er glared at him . He was even able to say such a disgusting thing out loud .
“What? What are you thinking? I’m saying that when he saw such a great genius like me, he wanted to take me as an apprentice,” disdainfully said Long Chen .
Tang Wan-er reddened slightly, but she quickly retorted, “Yeah, I believe it when you put it like that . ”
“Oh?”
“Most of what you do has no righteousness in it, so that old ghost definitely picked the right person to take as his apprentice,” said Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen looked at the laughing expression in her eyes and immediately understood she was mocking him .
He wanted to retort, but even after a long pause, he was unable to find a suitable line . Was he really suited to join a Devil sect?
Seeing Long Chen just blankly staring at her speechless, Tang Wan-er laughed . It seemed that this was the first time she had come ahead of him in terms of verbal jousting since she had met him .
“Back in my Tang family, I was the number one person in my generation and had the highest status . So all seniors in my family would pamper me greatly . At that time I was very headstrong and liked to to be annoying-”
“What are you talking about? Even now you like to be annoying,” Long Chen shook his head .
“Rascal, don’t interrupt me . ”
Tang Wan-er hit Long Chen in anger before continuing, “As I gradually grew up in my family, I started to realize in their love and pampering for me, they had given me far too much blood and sweat . That was because they hoped I would one day revive the ancestral mark, awakening the bloodline, and revitalizing the Tang family .
“From that moment on, I felt a huge pressure on myself . Even without the elders telling me to, I would bitterly cultivate .
“After I entered the Blood Condensation realm, my family purposely set up a couple ‘a.s.sa.s.sins’ in order to force me into despair, hoping I could revive the ancestral mark during a life and death moment .
“But it failed . If the first time fails, then later on the probability decreases even more .
“After seven times, I still failed to revive the ancestral mark . Although none of them said anything, I know how disappointed they were . I…”
Tang Wan-er was unable to continue any further, hugging Long Chen and sobbing .
Long Chen was shocked, not daring to move even a single muscle . Feeling her soft and beautiful body, smelling that faint fragrance, he felt as if he were floating .
After crying for a while, Tang Wan-er finally came to herself and hastily released Long Chen . She turned her head and wiped away her tears, her face already as red as an apple, her heart pounding like a drum .
