Chapter 365 (2/2)
“f.u.c.k he p.i.s.ses me off! I definitely won’t let this Long Chen have a good death!”
Seeing Long Chen’s figure disappear into the distance, Yin Wushuang clenched her teeth angrily . Just now, she had been on the verge of exploding . But in the end, she had still endured .
“Young lady, why didn’t you kill him?” asked a Favored .
Others might not know of the terror that was Yin Wushuang, but these people had followed her for many years . Other than Han Tianyu, there was not anyone in the same generation as her that they thought could defeat Yin Wushuang .
“No, I can’t kill him right now . Otherwise, all this work would have been for nothing . Right now, Long Chen’s reputation has been completely smeared . That wasn’t easy to do . I need brother Tianyu to personally kill Long Chen . One reason is to warn those idiots that our first monastery can’t be offended by just anyone . The second reason is because of those two women beside Long Chen . Once brother Tianyu kills Long Chen, they shouldn’t have the face to try and cozy up to him . Then I’ll have also defeated two powerful opponents in that way too,” said Yin Wushuang .
“Young lady is wise . ” Those disciples all had admiring expressions .
“Long Chen is just one of my chess pieces . If I kill him personally, that’s just destroying my own piece . It’s not smart . So even though I’m p.i.s.sed, I still need to control myself . What harm is there in letting Long Chen live for a little while longer?” sneered Yin Wushuang . “Let’s go . Let’s just act as if we didn’t see him . ”
“Young lady, this…” One person pointed to the corpse of their Favored .
“Just leave it here . Hmph, he wasn’t even able to block a single blow; he really has lost all my face . He deserved his death . Leave his corpse to rot in the wilderness . ” A disgusted expression appeared on Yin Wushuang’s face . She quickened her footsteps, also entering deeper into the Forest of Darkness .
Long Chen was pulling Lu Fang-er forward . Neither of them spoke for a while . The atmosphere was a bit awkward .
“Sister Fang-er, what do you think? Was I too softhearted?” sighed Long Chen .
“Softhearted? How come I can’t see any of that?” Lu Fang-er almost stumbled .
When Long Chen killed people, he didn’t even bat an eye . He was ruthless and merciless, so much so that it caused other people’s spirits to tremble . Even as his companion, she was still somewhat terrified .
For Long Chen to suddenly ask if he was too softhearted, Lu Fang-er really had no idea how to reply . She was afraid if she replied wrong, Long Chen might get angry .
“In truth, I always trust my intuition . I can practically guarantee that she was one who came up with the scheme against me . But when I faced her, I really didn’t have the heart to viciously kill her . Instead, I have to find a reason before I kill her . So I suddenly feel like I’m a bit stupid,” sighed Long Chen .
“I understand what you mean . Although you’re merciless when you start killing people, the majority of the time when you go on a rampage, it isn’t for yourself . Maybe you can easily forgive someone who hurts you or schemes against you, but you definitely won’t forgive anyone who hurts anyone by your side . I like that protective heart of yours . Hehe, Meng Qi really didn’t misjudge . A real man is someone like you who doesn’t care about temporary losses or gains, but places the people by his side as number one,” laughed Lu Fang-er .
Long Chen paused slightly . “Now that you say it, it seems it really is true . Normally when people try to scheme against me, I just give them a couple slaps in the face and kick them a few times before letting them off .
“But if someone is unable to defeat me, and thus decides to target the people close to me, then I really will hate them . Sometimes that hate doesn’t go away even after I kill them .
“I always thought there was some devil fiend inside my heart that goes berserk whenever I start feeling hatred . Sometimes that makes me extremely afraid . I’m afraid that hatred will cause me to lose my way, because when I become lost in my hatred, I turn into a fiend, a fiend that will extinguish the heavens and exterminate the earth .
“That’s why I’ve always been controlling my emotions . But as time pa.s.ses, no matter what I do, there are always countless people charging at me, forcing me to kill them .
“If they want to come at me, then I’m not afraid . But when they aren’t capable of hurting me, they decide to hurt the people by my side . That really teaches me the meaning of true pain .
“After entering the secret realm, I swore that I would no longer hold back . I’ve found the more effective, most direct way to protect my people is to kill . I’ll kill until corpses are piled like mountains, I’ll kill until the rivers turn red from blood, I’ll kill until their hearts finally tremble . I’ll kill until they don’t dare even think of targeting me . That way my friends should be safe . ”
Hearing this from Long Chen, and seeing the maturity on his face that did not match up to his age, Lu Fang-er’s heart ached slightly for him .
Long Chen’s shoulders were carrying far too many things . People only saw his icy, merciless side, but they didn’t see this side of him that cared so deeply about his friends, who were his brothers and sisters to him .
“Long Chen, whether you become a hero capable of supporting heaven and earth, or you become a fiend with hands dyed red with blood, Meng Qi and I will always stand by your side . ” Lu Fang-er held Long Chen’s hands .
“Hehe, thank you sister Fang-er . I just don’t know how Meng Qi will react once she learns about my matters…” said Long Chen bashfully .
Lu Fang-er clearly didn’t understand Long Chen’s meaning, and she rolled her eyes at him . “Who asked you to be so fickle-hearted?”
Long Chen felt as if his face was scalding hot . But he had no way of saying that he just couldn’t control his emotions . Originally he had hoped that Lu Fang-er would put in a good word for him with Meng Qi, but now he didn’t know how to ask for such a thing .
Seeing Long Chen’s face had turned completely red, Lu Fang-er laughed and rebuked, “Are you stupid? The cultivation world isn’t the same as the secular world . The goal isn’t to bear and raise children to carry on bloodlines . Why would Meng Qi feel sour about this? But let me warn you, if you have too many women by your side in the future, and if you aren’t able to maintain peace between them, then it really will become a complete mess . At that time, no one will be able to cultivate peacefully, and you will have real trouble . ”
Lu Fang-er’s words let Long Chen relax a great deal . The women by his side were all good-natured . They should be able to get along .
A day later, the two of them had just reached the core region of the Forest of Darkness, when explosions rang out in the distance . A powerful aura surged out, one which caused Long Chen’s expression to change .
