Chapter 246

A jade hand gently grabbed Long Chen . Chu Yao told him, “Let me do it . It’s always been you protecting me . Give me a chance to stand in front of you as well . ”

Seeing the gentle softness within Chu Yao’s eyes, Long Chen stiffened and shook his head . “You’re too kindhearted for this . Just let me handle it . ”

He understood Chu Yao’s character . She was too gentle for this . Doing something like this would definitely be difficult for her to bear . It would be better for him to do it . By now, he was already insensitive to the burden of killing others .

“No Long Chen . In the Skywood Palace, I swore to myself that I will forever protect you . Due to that promise, I cultivated with all my might .

“I know that cultivation is path of no retreat, and I know that for you must have your own personal difficulties for you to step onto this path . All I need is for you to let me stay with me . It doesn’t matter where you go . Even if you have to step into h.e.l.l, I will always follow you .

“Since this is a path of no retreat, I will inevitably have my hands stained with blood eventually . And even if I have to have my hands covered in blood and become a merciless demon queen, I will not hesitate . ”

After she finished speaking, she slowly extended her hand . Other than Hua Yu, everyone else’s jaws dropped .

Those wooden stakes binding the Bloodnet Sect Elders came to life . A sharp point grew out of their heads, stabbing towards the Bloodnet Sect Elders .

Although these stakes were just made of wood, they were covered in runes . Their sharpness caused those Bone Forging Elders to feel an icy chill .

“Kill!” Chu Yao lightly shouted, suddenly clenching her hand . Three sharp thorns pierced through the three Bloodnet Sect Elders’ foreheads like lightning, immediately killing them . Everyone’s hearts trembled; three Bone Forging experts had died just like that .

Chu Yao’s face was pale, and Long Chen hastily wrapped his arm around her, supporting her . He was extremely moved, as well as ashamed . His voice held a bit of reproach as he said, “Why must you push yourself so hard?”

If Long Chen’s guess was right, this was Chu Yao’s first time killing someone . For her to kill three people at once, and all Bone Forging experts, was definitely a huge impact to her .

“If you are willing to stain your hands with blood for me, then I can also do the same for you!” Although her face was pale, Chu Yao’s voice was still resolute . Her hand caressed Long Chen’s face .

Seeing that determination on Chu Yao’s face, Long Chen was incomparably moved . Being loved by someone was an incredible blessing that could not be described with words .

“Hey, that’s enough . Tidy yourselves up and get back to what you’re supposed to be doing . If you want to be affectionate, there’ll be enough time after the battle’s over . ” Hua Yu smiled .

Chu Yao turned red, but she still couldn’t bear to part with Long Chen just yet and continued holding his hand .

“Come, let’s go see father . ” Long Chen pulled Chu Yao over to Long Tianxiao .

“Aowu!” Little Snow also rushed over beside them .

“Oh, Little Snow’s so big now!” Only now did Chu Yao realize Little Snow had become even more amazing than before, and she wrapped her arms around his head and gave him kiss on the head .

Arriving beside Long Tianxiao, Chu Yao reddened slightly and shyly greeted, “Yao-er greets uncle . ”

“What uncle? That sounds weird . You should just call him dad so you don’t have to change it later,” naughtily laughed Long Chen .

Chu Yao immediately turned as red as an apple, but her eyes were still joyful . Her lips stuttered a couple times, and she finally managed to call out:

“Dad!”

Long Tianxiao laughed heartily, “Good, good, good! Dad’s really happy to see you all grow up . Come, let’s go drink a bit . ”

Long Chen bitterly smiled and shook his head . “Dad, I can’t do it this time . I still have many brothers waiting for me on my side . ”

Having lived on the battlefield for so long, Long Tianxiao naturally understood Long Chen’s meaning . Patting him on the shoulder, he said, “Ok, then we’ll wait till after your victory for you to come back! Your mom also misses you . ”

Long Tianxiao knew Long Chen and Chu Yao also had some words for themselves . He brought his army back into the city . By this time, the majority of people had already evacuated, and it was also time for them to withdraw as well .

After Long Tianxiao left, Long Chen sighed and asked Chu Yao, “Do you want to go to the battlefield with me?”

Chu Yao smiled slightly . “For the moment, I can’t . I want to wait till the enemy’s Favored appears before I can partic.i.p.ate in the battle . ”

“What are Favored?” Long Chen had never heard of that before .

“My master said Favored are blessed by the heavens, geniuses destined to rise . Favored are… I heard that they are all peerless experts . ” After saying that last part, Chu Yao’s expression became a bit natural .

Long Chen was both surprised and delighting, holding Chu Yao’s hand and asking, “Then does that mean you are also a Favored?”

Chu Yao shyly nodded her head, absolutely delighting Long Chen . He hugged and began to spin her around .

“Haha, Yao-er, you’re too amazing!”

Chu Yao held onto Long Chen’s neck, her forehead pressed against his forehead . Seeing how excited he was, she laughed . “I thought you’d be disappointed to hear this news . ”

“Why would I be disappointed?” Long Chen couldn’t help being distracted .

“Isn’t it said that powerful men don’t like their women to be stronger than them?” asked Chu Yao .

“Well technically you still haven’t become my woman yet . How about we fix that and make you my woman, and then we’ll know whether or not I’ll like it?” Long Chen mischievously laughed .
