Chapter 404: 404

Hers was a flawless face . Rosiness interspersed with bright jade, and it was especially those lips that gave off an endless charm .

Just seeing half her face was enough beauty to make it so Long Chen was unable to look directly at her . Now that her whole face was revealed, Long Chen felt as if the entire world had stilled . The only thing he could hear was his drum-like heartbeat .

Previously, the atmosphere had been too tense, and Long Chen hadn’t paid any attention to Yue Xiaoqian’s face . Furthermore, from his previous experience, he hadn’t dared look her in the face again . But now that he was looking at it directly, he was absolutely speechless .

Being foolishly stared at by Long Chen, Yue Xiaoqian blushed and hurriedly turned her face away .

“Cough, sorry, I couldn’t help it . ” Only now did Long Chen come back to his senses .

In terms of her face, only Meng Qi could possibly match Yue Xiaoqian’s beauty . However, the two of their beauties were completely different styles .

Meng Qi’s beauty was like that of an immortal fairy who did not consume the food of common mortals, while Yue Xiaoqian was one that would make a person’s heart and soul quiver .

Just looking at her face could cause a person to sink into endless depravity . That kind of beauty was incredibly dangerous, but when people saw it, they wouldn’t be able to sense the danger .

That kind of dangerous beauty gave people the feeling she was a beautiful demon . But her eyes were pure and holy, giving people a contradictory feeling .

It was precisely this kind of feeling that caused Yue Xiaoqian to possess an irresistible beauty .

She once more took out a veil and properly covered her face, only revealing her two eyes . “My mother said not to let others see my true face, so it was my fault for not covering it . You don’t have to apologize . ”

Was this what it meant by a beauty capable of causing a calamity? Long Chen couldn’t help smiling bitterly at himself . At the same time, he was deeply moved that the thousand major worlds were full of extraordinary things .

If Yue Xiaoqian suddenly took off her veil in the middle of a fight with people, just how many people would be able to hold back their shock? Just the slightest break in their rhythm would probably cause them to become a corpse .

“Your mother is a good person,” laughed Long Chen .

“How did you know? My mother is a very, very good person . ” Yue Xiaoqian hadn’t heard Long Chen’s other meaning, so she was actually happy to hear him praise her mother .

Long Chen just smiled slightly without saying anything . He really did feel like the two of their intelligences were not on the same frequency, and communicating seemed to be a bit taxing .

All the Abyss of Fiends’ Devilmen corpses had been handled now, and all the devil cores had landed in Yue Xiaoqian’s pocket . Other than some of the fiendish aura remaining here, the terrifying pressure had already disappeared .

Both Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were completely exhausted, and so the two of them found a corner to rest .

Those continuous battles had completely depleted all their energy, and then they had only narrowly escaped alive from mortal danger several times . Even people as strong as them were exhausted .

That was especially true of Long Chen . In his attempt to subdue the dragon scale, his Spiritual Strength had been mostly used up . After consuming a healing pill, he wasn’t able to endure it any longer and fell asleep against the rock wall .

Yue Xiaoqian wasn’t much better off than him . Feeling waves of exhaustion battering her, she fell asleep on Long Chen’s shoulder .

Long Chen slept soundly . Within his daze, he seemed to feel a pair of hands gently caressing his cheeks, as well as hear a soft murmuring that made him feel like he was floating in the clouds .

He didn’t know how long he slept for, but he suddenly awoke . The Abyss of Fiends was still present, but Yue Xiaoqian was not .

Long Chen hastily looked around and called out to her, but there was no reply .

Taking a couple steps forward, Long Chen suddenly saw eight odd bones with special lines carved into them .

Those bones were incredibly ancient and emitted a strange pressure . They were arranged in an orderly, square pattern three meters long .

He reached out to grab one, but he had only just touched it when the bone instantly turned to ash .

“Spatial strength . ”

Long Chen sensed a spatial fluctuation when that bone dissipated, one that was similar to when a transportation formation was activated .

However, this spatial strength was a bit different from the spatial strength of transportation formations . But as for how they were different, Long Chen was unable to tell .

“Looks like she’s already left the secret realm . ” Long Chen sighed . Yue Xiaoqian had previously revealed that she didn’t need to wait for when the Jiuli secret realm’s exit opened . Back then, Long Chen hadn’t taken that to heart, but now seeing these bones, he knew she had used some kind of secret technique to leave .

For some reason, Yue Xiaoqian’s departure gave him a feeling of disappointment and frustration, as if he had lost something . “No matter how you put it, we can count as friends . Leaving like this really is rude . ”

She had already left, but her fragrance still lingered on his body . Everything almost seemed like it was a dream . But when a scale floated out of his hand, emitting a green light and a powerful dragon might, he knew it wasn’t a dream .

Long Chen sighed, but then he suddenly sensed something odd . Looking at his arm, he saw a crescent moon had appeared there .

It was only an inch long, and although it was just a simple design, it still gave people a vivid and lifelike feeling as if it was a real moon .
