Chapter 279 (2/2)

Although Tang Wan-er wasn’t an alchemist, she still recognized a couple high tier medicinal ingredients . These ingredients had to cost several thousand or even ten thousand points for a single one! But they were piled up like mountains inside this spatial ring .

“Is this real?” muttered Tang Wan-er .

“Of course it’s true! Who do you think I, Long Chen, am? As long as I made a public declaration, who knows how many people would come begging at my door to take me as master! If I…”

“It is real!” Tang Wan-er had taken out a medicinal ingredients and smelled it . That scent proved it was real .

As for Long Chen, he was in the middle of gesturing pa.s.sionately about how amazing he was when he realized she wasn’t even looking at him . He had no choice but to stop . He looked at up at the clouds in the sky .

“Hmm? You aren’t bragging anymore?” Looking at Long Chen acting like this, Tang Wan-er smiled .

“It’s too boring . I’ve bragged to the point that even I don’t believe me anymore . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“Sometimes I really wonder Long Chen, do you never feel worried about anything? How are you so sloppy all the time?” Tang Wan-er blushed a bit at that last bit, as such a crude word was embarra.s.sing for a lady to say out loud .

But Long Chen didn’t care about that . Looking up at the clouds, he said, “Being sloppy isn’t a bad thing either . Otherwise if you end up caring about every little thing, wouldn’t you worry yourself to death?”

For some reason, when she looked at Long Chen this time, although she could see his expression was still unworried and uncaring, she could also see a trace of loneliness in his eyes .

Perhaps if it had been the old her who hadn’t absorbed the Dao-mark, she would not have been able to sense that . But after becoming a Favored, she could sense that loneliness from Long Chen .

That kind of loneliness wasn’t about how many people were by his side . It was loneliness that existed despite being surrounded by people . It was as if the entire world was rejecting him . Or perhaps it could be said that he was rejecting the entire world .

Tang Wan-er gently held his hand . “Long Chen, no matter what worries you have, you can tell me . I will share any burden you have . ”

Having Tang Wan-er’s tender hand holding his own, Long Chen’s heart filled with warmth . Tang Wan-er was as beautiful as a flower, her pretty face touched with a dab of shyness . She was like the cherry blossoms blooming, so beautiful that people didn’t dare to profane her .

Tang Wan-er had always been beautiful, but looking at her now, in this situation with these feelings, Long Chen felt Tang Wan-er was more beautiful than ever .

His heart was pounding faster and faster . Tang Wan-er also began to breathe a bit faster . The two of them were pulling closer and closer to each other .

Being stared at by Long Chen like this, Tang Wan-er didn’t dare to meet his eyes . She closed her eyes, her lips opening ever so slightly . Long Chen was unable to resist that beauty, and gave her a deep kiss .

Tang Wan-er let out a gentle gasp, involuntarily holding Long Chen tightly, her body limp and powerless .

Long Chen felt as if his head was buzzing . All his heart and mind were focused on the feeling of those lips .

“Cough . ”

Suddenly, a light cough rang out . It wasn’t loud, but to the two of them, it rang out like thunder .

The two of them instantly separated, seeing Qing Yu helplessly looking at the two of them . Tang Wan-er’s face was twisted with embarra.s.sment . She lowered her head, quickly running into the immortal cave and tightly locking it behind her, refusing to come back out .

Even with Long Chen’s thick skin, being caught like this made him blush fiercely .

“Ah, sister Qing Yu, hehe, how coincidental!” Tang Wan-er might be able to run, but Long Chen couldn’t . As a man, he had to face this .

“Sister Qing Yu, don’t misunderstand . I’ve been a bit unwell these past few days and I ended up with a couple sores on my tongue . I was just asking Tang Wan-er to help me take out the blood from those sores . There really was nothing!” explained Long Chen . But after that explanation, not even he felt that anyone would believe him .

Qing Yu shook her head and sighed . “You two… You’re both grown up now and now you should act . I know you two like each other . But the relations between a man and a woman are like dry firewood that can ignite with a single spark . If you two can’t hold back, you’d end up hurting Wan-er . Understand?”

Long Chen nodded, completely serious . “Sister Qing Yu, I understand . ”

“I know you two will hold back and not take that final step, but something like this could still impact your Dao-hearts . You might lose your way, stalling your cultivation . So don’t blame your sister Qing Yu for being long-winded,” admonished Qing Yu .

If a woman lost her chast.i.ty before reaching the Xiantian realm, she would be unable to maintain her pure Yin body . No matter how good her talent had been, it would be wasted .

This was the first time Long Chen didn’t feel that Qing Yu was long-winded . At the same time, he also scolded himself . This was the result of playing with fire . On the off chance he couldn’t hold back, he would regret it for a lifetime .

Six hours later, who knew whether Qing Yu had gotten tired or whether she felt Long Chen had been properly scolded, but she finally returned within the immortal cave .

But when Long Chen saw Qing Yu knock on Tang Wan-er’s door, he saw that Tang Wan-er refused to open the door no matter what . In the end, she had no choice but to drop the subject . Perhaps she would have a chance to make up this lesson to Tang Wan-er after a few days .

Long Chen returned to his room and began to refine those medicinal ingredients into powder, storing them inside jade bottles with tags .

That would be much more convenient when he refined in the future . He could save a great deal of time when finally refine these powders into pills .

Two days pa.s.sed as he refined these medicinal powders before Elder Sun angrily called for him .
