Chapter 1099 (2/2)

Having advanced to Foundation Forging, he found that his mental realm had also increased . These people who hid upon seeing him only did so because they were guilty .

Once they arrived on the streets of Treasure Gem Island, they wandered around, looking at the wares on both sides of the street . If the people around them weren’t all high level cultivators, they would think this was the secular world .

Holding hands as they strolled, Meng Qi smiled . She was happy and satisfied with just this . This kind of peaceful ambiance was extremely rare .

“Meng Qi, do you ever think about your family?” asked Long Chen .

“Not really . They probably don’t think about me either . ” Meng Qi’s eyes reddened slightly .

Long Chen immediately became embarra.s.sed, having an urge to slap himself in the face . Meng Qi had been taken away by the Wind Spirit Pavilion as a child .

As a little girl, Meng Qi hadn’t wanted to leave . She had cried and begged her parents not to send her away, but all she got was harsh berating . Then she also saw her parents smiling expressions as they received gifts from one of the Wind Spirit Pavilion’s Elders .

At that time, her heart had shattered . And once she joined the Wind Spirit Pavilion, she was treated as a future daughter-in-law by the pavilion master . Her fate was entirely in other people’s hands .

Unable to see any hope, she had thought about killing herself many times . Then when the Wind Spirit Pavilion learned she had a fiancé, they had wanted to kill him . Taking pity on Long Chen since he was innocent, she had personally gone over to break their engagement .

That had completely changed her fate, so now she was very easily satisfied and felt very fortunate . However, the initial att.i.tude her parents had had for her still caused her pain that could not be healed .

Meng Qi was kindhearted, but the way her parents had treated her had deeply wounded her . She was unable to forgive them .

“Sorry…” Long Chen awkwardly apologized .

“Fool, what do you have to be sorry for? I feel very happy to be here with you . ” Meng Qi smiled, her eyes full of her deep love .

Looking at Meng Qi’s sincere smile, Long Chen felt even more ashamed . He owed his women far too much, so much that he would never be able to pay it back in his lifetime .

He wanted to promise something, but he suddenly found he couldn’t . There was nothing he could promise right now . He wasn’t even able to solve the mystery of his origins, nor did he even know what enemies he was facing . There was also that voice in his dreams that urgently pressed him on, like a constant stone on his heart making it hard for him to breathe .

“Long Chen, don’t blame yourself . We chose to accompany you on our own . Whether you ascend to the heavens or fall to h.e.l.l, whether you become a G.o.d or devil, we will still accompany you . In truth, Wan-er and I both feel happy . In comparison, I’m sure Xiaoqian, Zhiqiu, and Chu Yao feel the worst . We’re all working hard so we can reunite as soon as possible and fulfill your desire . ” Toward the end, Meng Qi’s face became incredibly alluring like peach blossoms in bloom .

Long Chen involuntarily felt a fire ignite in his heart . Looking at Meng Qi, he reached out to grab her waist .

“Don’t, there are too many people here!” Meng Qi jumped, hastily forbidding him .

“How shameless to do such a thing in a public place with so many people . Do you think the Xuantian Dao Sect is your home?” Just at this moment, a long-faced man with a few pockmarks on his face coldly shouted from nearby .

Long Chen was immediately infuriated, while Meng Qi was too embarra.s.sed to look . Long Chen turned to see that the person talking was a disciple from the previous generation . His cultivation base had reached the late Foundation Forging realm, and the Heavenly Dao runes around him had six colors . He was a rank six Celestial .

But his aura was clearly turbulent, showing that he had only just advanced to the sixth rank . He was not yet able to perfectly control his new Heavenly Dao energy .

Long Chen recognized him . He was someone who had once stood behind Gao Xianyang . The reason Long Chen remembered him was because of his face .

Not just anyone was capable of growing such a long face . It was like a brick, so it’d be strange if he didn’t remember it .

However, Long Chen clearly recalled that he had only been a rank five Celestial back then . Now he had advanced .

This brick-faced expert had made quite a few points in the last battle . He spent all those points on undergoing the Heavenly Tower Blessing .

This Heavenly Tower Blessing was similar to the Xuantian Blessing the inner sect disciples had been given when they first joined the inner sect . But it was stronger as this blessing was focused on a single disciple . There was a certain chance that the disciple would be able to condense a new Heavenly Dao rune and advance their Celestial rank .

The cost of undergoing the Heavenly Tower Blessing was extremely terrifying, both for the sect and the disciple . This person had spent ten years of savings to get this opportunity .

And he had actually succeeded, inflating his confidence . Today, he had just been thinking of buying a kind of Heaven Consolidating Pill to stabilize his Heavenly Dao energy, but instead he ended up running into Long Chen and Meng Qi acting all lovey-dovey . He was jealous and envious, and he immediately spouted some vile words .

“What are you looking at? s.l.u.ts, f.u.c.k off,” sneered the brick-faced man, spitting on the ground .

Meng Qi’s expression changed, not because she was angry, but because she felt something bad was about to happen .

DONG!

Long Chen’s gaze was cold as a drop of his blood landed on his badge . The sound of a bell resounded throughout the Xuantian Dao Sect . He had initiated a life and death challenge .
