Chapter 854 (2/2)

“No, I like looking at it . But my heart can’t bear it . If you don’t believe me, just feel!” Long Chen pulled Yue Xiaoqian’s hand and placed it over his heart . Currently, it was pounding wildly .

“You’re doing that on purpose . ” Yue Xiaoqian blushed and turned away . But she could still feel his powerful heartbeat .

“In all honesty, I didn’t do it on purpose,” said Long Chen . Yue Xiaoqian’s charm was just so strong that it was fatal . Otherwise, Long Chen wouldn’t ask her to veil herself again . A feast for the eyes was also a delight .

“Fine, whether it was on purpose or not, I like it either way!” Yue Xiaoqian smiled . Her hands were lightly twisting the corner of her robes in a bashful manner . She could tell that this was Long Chen’s strange way of praising her beauty . She suddenly brazenly grabbed his hand but had a nervous light in her eyes . “How have you been since we parted?”

Long Chen was an old fox in this manner . He knew Yue Xiaoqian wanted to get closer but was also embarra.s.sed . He quickly held her hand and said, “I’ve been very well . All I do is fight and kill, and then kill and fight . ”

Long Chen gave her a simple narration of what he had experienced, starting from the battle in the Jiuli secret realm . But he found that she was extremely curious about the world, and she made him explain things in greater detail . As a result, this simple narration took a whole day .

“Long Chen, you’re a good person . It’s no wonder that many big sisters like you,” said Yue Xiaoqian with a complicated expression .

“How about you stay with us? It’ll be livelier with more people,” said Long Chen . He felt a bit guilty, as these words were clearly used to seduce people .

But seeing that Yue Xiaoqian didn’t reply, he immediately became awkward . He had ruined the good atmosphere with a single sentence .

“Ah, Xiaoqian, how about I give you a gift!” Long Chen suddenly took out an egg .

“An Earth Dragon’s egg?” Yue Xiaoqian was startled .

Long Chen was also startled . But now that he thought about it, he had already experienced Yue Xiaoqian’s vast knowledge . She knew the heavens, she knew the earth, and she knew everything in between .

“Yes, it really is an Earth Dragon’s egg . It’s yours now . In the future, you’ll have a powerful housepet . I hope you won’t decline, as that will make me feel bad,” said Long Chen .

Yue Xiaoqian looked at Long Chen and suddenly hugged him, surprising him . It seemed this happiness had come too suddenly? If he had known this would happen, he would have given it to her as soon as he saw her .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you evil person, I know you’re seducing me!” Yue Xiaoqian cried into Long Chen’s embrace .

Long Chen’s excitement vanished . The hand he had been about to embrace her with turned rigid . He didn’t know whether he should embrace her or pull it back . How did his pick-up arts fail? It was over for him; he had been seen through . As expected, routines couldn’t be depended on . He couldn’t help but feel regret .

“But although I clearly know that, I can’t refuse it . So you’re a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Yue Xiaoqian held on tightly, her tears drenching his robes .

Long Chen didn’t know what to do . His pick-up arts had been seen through . This was his first time running into such a situation . He suddenly recalled that Yue Xiaoqian seemed to have a kind of mind-reading ability .

Thinking of that, he felt a cold breeze on his back . Failure, failure, absolute failure . Now that this routine had failed, it was awkward .

Yue Xiaoqian cried for a while before slowly leaving Long Chen’s embrace . Looking at him, she cried, “I’m afraid!”

“Afraid of what?”

“I’m afraid to bring you disaster . I’m afraid you’ll be killed because of me . I don’t fear death, but I am afraid of seeing you die,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

“I’m not afraid of dying . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“That is not the worst outcome . The most terrifying one is that you will live, but you will hate me . That would make my life worse than death,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

“Why would I ever hate you?”

“If one day my status is exposed, you’ll be hunted down by the entire world . If your companions are all killed one by one, you’ll hate me . You’ll hate me for causing their deaths . You might even kill me in your hatred…” Yue Xiaoqian once more began crying .

Her words caused Long Chen’s heart to quiver . That really was a big problem . He still didn’t possess the power to fight the entire world .

“Xiaoqian, don’t cry . Let’s talk about our future!” Long Chen gently sat her up properly .
