Chapter 499 (1/2)

Chapter 499: 499

“You rotten brat, you almost made me do something shameful . ”

Within a private room, Shui Wuhen was rebuking Long Chen . Currently, she no longer had any of her austere dignity, and seemed more like a big sister that was reprimanding Long Chen .

This was Shui Wuhen’s private cultivation room . She had never had anyone else in here . Long Chen was the first .

But as soon as Long Chen entered, she unleashed a scolding on him . Only now did Long Chen find out that the reason Shui Wuhen had had to leave in the middle of the meeting wasn’t because someone had touched the restrictive formations . That had just been an excuse to cover up that she hadn’t been able to hold back her laughter .

As the monastery head, if she were to laugh in front of everyone like that, it would truly be lacking propriety and dignity . So now she was scolding Long Chen .

But as she scolded, a laugh occasionally sneaked out . She shook her head . “You really are a devil . Is there never a time you’re afraid?”

Long Chen’s nerve was really too great to repeatedly give Sha Tonghai slaps in the face . If Sha Tonghai ended up going berserk, losing all reasoning and not giving a d.a.m.n about the consequences, then Long Chen would very likely be instantly killed .

“Of course there are times when I’m afraid . But I definitely wouldn’t be afraid of them . A punch of petty cowards like them don’t have the courage to kill me .

“And even if they wanted to kill me, then if I couldn’t beat them, couldn’t I still run? I don’t believe that you would just watch as your own house was torn apart . That would just be slapping yourself in the face,” laughed Long Chen .

“Little fellow, you really are wicked . Even I’ve been included in your calculations . Are you so sure that I would protect you?” asked Shui Wuhen .

“Of course . What happened just now was just some trivial matter . But I know if something happened, you’d protect me, or you wouldn’t have saved me back then . ” Long Chen smiled .

“Ah, you… Sometimes I feel you’re smart enough to scare me, but sometimes you’re foolish enough to scare me as well . I still don’t know whether or not you’re truly smart or stupid,” sighed Shui Wuhen .

“Me? I have a smart side and a stupid side . However, my smart side is reserved for my enemies, while my foolish side is reserved for my brothers . ”

Shui Wuhen’s heart shook ever so slightly, as Long Chen’s words were indeed true . He had an intelligence and a vision that could easily see through all schemes, but even so, he would always do some foolish things that others couldn’t comprehend . What happened previously in the first monastery was a perfect example .

By going to the first monastery, he had just been accompanying everyone to die . That kind of conduct was idiotic, and extremely so . But that had been what Long Chen had done .

That made it so Shui Wuhen was unable to tell just what was inside Long Chen’s head . Furthermore, his foolish conduct had ended up infecting others as well .

As sect leader, Ling Yun-zi had actually started a slaughter just for one disciple, killing multiple sect leaders without caring about his own life .

Perhaps sometimes foolishness was just part of human nature, and sometimes, it was the most precious thing .

“Then sect leader, by having me stay behind, are you planning on punis.h.i.+ng me?” asked Long Chen .

“I really do need to punish you . You need to reserve yourself more, or I really won’t be able to have anymore peaceful days,” said Shui Wuhen harshly .

Hearing that, Long Chen relaxed a great deal . So all she was doing was making life a bit more difficult .

“Long Chen, I look very favorably upon you . Once you grow up, you’ll definitely be a world-shaking figure . But your temperament…” Shui Wuhen involuntarily shook her head .

“I’m just like that . Unless I die, I won’t change myself,” said Long Chen .

He also felt a bit powerless about that . He had to be like this, as this was the path of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . Since he had stepped onto this path, he had to advance without fear .

Lu Fang-er and Ye Zhiqiu’s deaths had made it completely clear to him that if he continued to deny the direction of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, he would end up losing even more companions .

Now there was hope for Ye Zhiqiu to revive, but Lu Fang-er was forever dead .

Although Lu Fang-er had said she was just an extra, an accessory to Meng Qi, she had still been a pure-hearted woman . She had liked a person, and she had dared to admit it .

At the beginning, Long Chen really hadn’t completely approved of that feeling . But when Lu Fang-er had died, he had felt a heart-wrenching pain . Her death made him completely realize that he couldn’t be so cowardly . Otherwise, everybody beside him would die one by one .

So now, whatever Long Chen wanted to do, he would do . He would not submit to any restrictions . He needed to nurture his domineeringness, to use his b.l.o.o.d.y methods to intimidate all enemies .

When Long Chen had made that determination, he had felt his mental realm instantly become completely clear . He was able to see things clearer and with more depth .

“Alright, it’s not like I want to change you . Are you aware that before Ling Yun-zi left, he came to see me?” Shui Wuhen hesitated for a moment before saying this .

“The sect leader came to see you? Oh, could it be…?” Long Chen looked at Shui Wuhen . She appeared to be only twenty-five to twenty-six years old, and she was extremely beautiful .

“You… you little rascal, you really are looking for a beating! Where did your thoughts end up wandering?!” Seeing Long Chen’s odd expression, Shui Wuhen raged, “Ling Yun-zi and I are not from the same generation! Why is your head only filled with such crazy thoughts?!”

“Oh? Then that really is a pity . ” Long Chen scratched his head, feeling that it was regretful .
