Chapter 1178
“So you must be world-renowned Long Chen! Am I right, brother Long?” Xia Yunchong had no choice but to reveal himself . He understood this little sister of his the best . She shared a father with him but a different mother . If he allowed her to continue like this, it was unknown just how much she would embarra.s.s herself . He rushed out and cupped his fists to Long Chen .
“I wouldn’t dare to call myself world-renowned . May I ask who you are?” Long Chen’s heart shook upon seeing this man . He sensed he was also an extremely terrifying fellow .
Furthermore, he had two Soul Transformation experts as guards . As for the elder with his eyes closed, although none of his aura leaked out, Long Chen could still sense he was someone who had probably reached the same level as the Xuan Master .
Such a terrifying lineup shocked Long Chen . This was truly bada.s.s .
Xia Yunchong said, “This humble soul is the Grand Xia-”
“What’s the point of so many words? He is the Grand Xia’s eighth prince, Xia Yunchong, my big brother . Hurry up and come with us,” said Xia Youluo impatiently upon seeing them waste time going through pleasantries .
Being interrupted by Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong awkwardly said, “Cough, brother Long, how about we switch locations before talking? This place isn’t very convenient . ”
“Since brother Xia is inviting me, I wouldn’t dare to refuse . ” Long Chen smiled . This Xia Yunchong seemed much easier to get along with . Each of his movements was refined and natural . Long Chen felt it would be easier to talk with this man than an obstinate woman like Xia Youluo, so he gladly agreed .
Xia Youluo’s expression grew a bit unsightly upon seeing Long Chen agree to Xia Yunchong’s invitation so quickly . Long Chen hadn’t given her any face . She frowned and was just about to flare up .
“Take note of your image . ” The elder suddenly frowned and icily opened his mouth .
This elder’s status was extremely special . Even the obstinate seventeenth princess immediately shut her mouth . She pouted and her eyes turned red . That aggrieved expression looked like she was about to cry .
“Brother Long, let’s go back to my humble home,” said Xia Yunchong hastily . One of the Soul Transformation experts waved a hand, and one of the surrounding buildings unleashed a wave of light that covered them all . They disappeared from the spectators’ sight .
Long Chen and the others had only just left when workers came to clean up the damage . The spectators scattered, but today, other than seeing the beauty and power of the seventeenth princess, they had also learned of another name: Long Chen, a monster who wasn’t even a Celestial but possessed incredible battle prowess .
Long Chen was brought to an open flower garden . All kinds of rare flowers grew here, their fragrance was.h.i.+ng over them . There were four maidens wearing palace maid clothes who were quietly standing within a pavilion . But these maids had actually reached the Foundation Forging realm .
“Quickly prepare some wine and food . Use the standards of a national banquet,” said Xia Yunchong to the maids .
They were startled to hear such a thing, but they quickly left . The guards following Xia Yunchong were also dismissed .
“Master, why don’t you stay and drink a few cups? It's been a long time since we’ve drunk together,” said Xia Yunchong respectfully .
“An old man like me won’t partic.i.p.ate in a gathering of youngsters . ” The elder shook his head and vanished without the slightest spatial fluctuation . It was like he had simply merged with heaven and earth .
“Hmph, he finally left!” Xia Youluo immediately cheered like a bird that had been stuck in its cage for a long time and had finally regained its freedom . She immediately started making things hard on Long Chen . “Long Chen, I demand to know why you refused to come when I invited you, but as soon as he did, you immediately agreed!”
Xia Youluo glared at Long Chen stiffly . She demanded a perfect explanation . Long Chen’s actions had clearly irritated her, and now that the elder had gone, she once more became brazen .
“Youluo, don’t make trouble . If you keep acting like this, I’ll report you to our imperial father,” said Xia Yunchong .
“You…! You’re mean! I wasn’t even doing anything to you… You weren’t like this before… You’re all bad men bullying me!” What Long Chen had never expected was for the incredibly powerful Xia Youluo to actually start sobbing . He was flabbergasted .
Seeing Long Chen’s stunned expression, Xia Yunchong was embarra.s.sed . Xia Youluo was his younger sister, and even as a child, she had gotten along best with him . She often threw tantrums, and whatever happened, she would always ask him to stand up for her . He truly did love and pamper her .
“Youluo, you’re already so old . You can’t keep acting like this…” Xia Yunchong was at a loss .
“Now that I’m old, you don’t want me anymore . You don’t love me anymore, right? Our imperial father doesn't love me, the imperial mother doesn’t love me, and now even you don’t love me… That’s the most painful thing . ” Xia Youluo’s face was covered in tears . Looking at her would truly make a person’s heart clench .
“Alright, stop . I still love you, so stop crying!” Xia Yunchong patted Xia Youluo on the back .
“But you’re still so mean to me, saying that you’ll report me!”
“Fine, I won’t report you, I won’t be mean to you . It’s big brother’s fault, okay?” said Xia Yunchong helplessly .
“Really? Hehe, I just knew big brother loved me the most! Long Chen, I demand to know why you wouldn’t accept my invitation, but immediately came when big brother invited you!” Xia Youluo’s face was still covered in crystalline tears, but she had a smile of victory on her face .
