Chapter 866 (1/2)

Chapter 866: 866

Long Chen was unable to figure out this beautiful killing G.o.ddess . But in the end, he and Yue Xiaoqian still decided to follow her .

There was a hill with a diameter of around thirty meters . It looked like a fake mountain, as there were little mounds on it . In front of those mounds were coffins .

Long Chen couldn’t help but find this curious . Coffins should have been buried underground . Why would they be left outside? That made no sense .

“How strange . Long Chen, what do you say? What is going on here?” Leng Yueyan suddenly turned back .

Long Chen was just about to answer with how the h.e.l.l was he supposed to know, when he suddenly smiled . “I know . But why do I have to tell you?”

Leng Yueyan was startled . She hadn’t expected him to know such an ancient secret . At first, she wanted to say something, but seeing that he appeared hostile, she chose to stay silent for a moment .

“If you tell me, I will forever protect one of your secrets,” she said suddenly, glancing at Yue Xiaoqian .

“Really?”

“I, Leng Yueyan, disdain lying,” she said indifferently . That voice was full of her arrogance .

“Alright, that’s what you said . You better keep your word…” Hearing Long Chen’s words, although the others didn’t dare to get closer, they perked up their ears . After investigating for this long, they still hadn’t managed to solve this riddle .

“In truth, burying coffins usually requires three people to be most efficient . One person digs the hole, one person buries the coffin, and one person fills the mound . According to my vast experience, just from one small clue, the truth reveals itself to me . I would be so bold as to conclude through my careful a.n.a.lysis that…” said Long Chen .

“Conclude what?” Leng Yueyan didn’t say anything, so it was Yue Xiaoqian that urged him on .

“That on that day, the person in charge of burying the coffin didn’t come to work . So one person dug the hole, one person filled the mound, but then the coffin was just left outside,” said Long Chen with absolute certainty .

Everyone’s expressions became odd . They all glared at Long Chen . What kind of dogs.h.i.+t logic was this? Having been listening so carefully, they felt like they had been duped .

“Long Chen, do you believe me when I say I’ll kill you right now?” Leng Yueyan’s expression finally became a bit angry . In all her memories, this was the first time someone dared to try to dupe her .

“Hm, did you make some kind of mistake? Didn’t you just say that if I told you, you’d forever protect one of my secrets? I’ve already told you my deduction, but you immediately became hostile . Hmph, it seems that I recall a certain someone saying something like I, Leng Yueyan, disdain lying? What, you regret it so quickly?” said Long Chen, even imitating her tone . But his imitation was a bit exaggerated, and instead of seeming like a killing G.o.d, he seemed like an effeminate man .

Everyone felt a chill . Long Chen really was crazy . Even if he wanted to die so badly, did he have to provoke Leng Yueyan?

Seeing Leng Yueyan’s unchanging expression finally become angry, Long Chen felt refreshed inside . After being stabbed, he hadn’t been able to retaliate . Now they were even .

But he was still on guard . If Leng Yueyan really released her anger, who knew how crazy she would become?

“Hahahahaha…” But contrary to all expectations, Leng Yueyan laughed . Her laughter was beautiful, but somehow gave people an uncomfortable feeling, like they were being summoned by a death G.o.d .

“Hehe, don’t be so petty . It was just a joke,” laughed Long Chen . He finally experienced how shameless and refres.h.i.+ng it was to attack others while not letting them take offense .

Just like how Leng Yueyan had stabbed him and acted like it was a joke, he had finally succeeded in counterattacking .

“Truly worthy of being the man I’ve taken a fancy to . You’re much more brazen than others . More and more, I'm looking forward to our battle . Be careful, because the next time we speak, your head might be in my hands . Then there wouldn’t be anything fun to play,” said Leng Yueyan, her sapphire eyes sparkling .

“Truly worthy of being the woman I’ve taken a fancy to . You’re much more beautiful than others . More and more, I’m looking forward to our battle . Be careful, because the next time we speak, I might have already subdued you to make you warm my bed . Hehe, then we’d have something fun to play . ”

Long Chen laughed . Originally, he had just been talking randomly, but when he spoke of subduing Leng Yueyan, his heart began to pound . That was something far too challenging but also enticing .

Yue Xiaoqian looked from Long Chen to Leng Yueyan . She suddenly realized something and smiled slightly . “Don’t fight . Let me explain . This is a kind of empty coffin blood burial . These coffins are empty, with the corpses buried underground . The bottom of the coffins have evil suppressing runes that prevent the corpses from being contaminated . According to legend, in the ancient era, the devil races’ souls continued to exist even after they died . They become a form of energy that can’t be extinguished with martial might . To have them completely die required formations to exhaust their energy . However, these coffins are also a bit different from those . Their front is narrow while their back is wide . They are the very rarely seen item nouris.h.i.+ng empty coffins . ”
