Chapter 611: 611

When Long Chen returned to his residence, he saw that Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were in his courtyard, leaning against Little Snow and quietly muttering . He didn’t know what they were saying, but the two of them were smiling beautifully .

The courtyard was quiet, and the two of them were more beautiful than flowers . Long Chen leaned against the entrance, watching as the two of them talked and laughed . Occasionally, their bell-like laughter would ring out . He felt intoxicated .

“Long Chen, what are you just standing there for? You look like a thief . ” Tang Wan-er and Meng Qi suddenly noticed Long Chen .

“Beautiful as jade, like a scene from a painting, as if made by the heavens, a perfect harmony . I really was unable to disturb it . ” Long Chen laughed .

“It’d be strange if anyone believed you . Speak, just how many women did you play around with this time?” Tang Wan-er glared at Long Chen .

“Slander, a completely unjust accusation . There was definitely nothing like that . ” Long Chen raised his hands as if crying injustice at the heavens .

“Aowu . ”

“Hear that? Little Snow says he will testify for me . ” Long Chen laughed .

“Wuwu…”

Meng Qi suddenly laughed . “Little Snow says that Long Chen ended up running into someone called Mu Xue . Just who is this Mu Xue?”

Long Chen’s face darkened . Little Snow had actually betrayed him at this critical time to side with Meng Qi .

“Hurry up and speak . Don’t try acting taciturn while you come up with a lie . ” Tang Wan-er glared at Long Chen, seeming like she would cruelly torture him for the answers .

Long Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . Of Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, one was gentle and soft, while the other was fiery and explosive . When the two were combined, it was truly like he was under interrogation .

Long Chen sat down with the two of them . He told them everything that had occurred once he had left the monastery, except the matter with dragon expert’s help and the real reason for the Mo family leaving .

It was naturally better for as few people as possible to know about those things . Having that burden rest on his shoulders was enough . Who asked men not to let their women worry so much?

“That Yin family really was hateful . They actually kidnapped uncle and aunt . They deserved to be destroyed . ” Tang Wan-er clenched her teeth .

“The fact that uncle and aunt are living in seclusion and having a peaceful life isn’t necessarily a bad thing,” comforted Meng Qi .

“Sorry, I’ve caused you two to worry . ” Long Chen couldn’t help but feel sorry toward the two of them .

“Long Chen…”

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er gently leaned against Long Chen . Smelling his familiar scent, they felt extremely warm inside, filled with peace and joy .

“That’s right, I almost forgot to tell you this . Sister Chu Yao has left the Skywood Palace,” said Tang Wan-er .

“Where did she go?”

“Half a month ago, sister Chu Yao stepped into the Xiantian realm . She actually awakened a manifestation, becoming a powerful Celestial .

“The Skywood Divine Palace sent someone to bring her back to the Skywood Sacred Land . Apparently, that’s very, very far from here .

“So sister Chu Yao wanted to see you before leaving, but at the time, you were with the Mo family in Qing Prefecture . This matter came so suddenly, that as a result, sister Chu Yao could only leave . ” Thinking of Chu Yao’s sad and disappointed expression as she had left, Tang Wan-er’s eyes reddened and she almost cried .

“This is what sister Chu Yao left for you . ” Meng Qi handed a scroll to Long Chen .

Long Chen opened the scroll . There was a painting on it . That painting depicted a martial stage with a youth fighting a human-shaped monster with long fur all over its body .

Seeing that scene, Long Chen immediately recalled his fierce battle with Huang Chang back in the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival . At that time, Huang Chang had used beast transformation to turn into this form . His own appearance had been slightly immature . However, his eyes contained endless rage .

The drawing itself was just average, but the drawing of him was remarkably lifelike and perfect .

On one side of the painting was a line of graceful characters: The Dragon swims across the four oceans; the Phoenix flies throughout the nine lands . Seas of blood may block us, but we will never give up our path; Dragon and Phoenix will both live to old age .

This was their promise to each other . At that time, they had been insignificant figures, but even in the face of irresistible power, they still hadn’t retreated . They had both expressed their true thoughts .

“Seas of blood may block us, but we will never give up our path . Dragon and Phoenix will both live to old age… For me, Yao-er, you’re willing to be bathed in blood? Why bother?”

Long Chen looked up at the sky, sadness flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes . Chu Yao had a quiet, peaceful temperament . She didn’t like fighting .

But in order to help him, in order to protect him, she had chosen the path of an expert . That was an endlessly b.l.o.o.d.y path . But she had stepped onto it without looking back .

Cultivation was a path of no return . Once you stepped on it, there was no chance to step off . Even if Long Chen gave up on cultivation right now, it would have no meaning at all . There were still countless enemies that would come find him . Giving up his cultivation was just crippling his martial might, allowing the heavens to decide his fate . Then his ending would be incomparably cruel .
