Chapter 1180

“Long Chen, is what you said yesterday true?” Xia Youluo looked at Long Chen with excitement . She was talking about how the line of her admirers stretched all the way back to the Grand Han .

“It’s possibly true . I heard two blind people gesturing toward a map with two deaf people on my way to the capital . That’s when I heard that story,” said Long Chen helplessly .

Seeing Xia Youluo’s thoughts seem to wander away, Long Chen grumbled inside . He had to constantly worry about her discussing that story with him .

At this time, Long Chen and Xia Youluo were walking toward the Wine G.o.d Palace . They had a large ma.s.s of guards following them . Quite a few youngsters were looking over at Xia Youluo with adoring expressions .

Xia Youluo was a G.o.ddess amongst the Grand Xia’s civilians . Countless youngsters wors.h.i.+ped her . However, the Grand Xia’s youngsters tended to be very reserved with their emotions, and they only looked at her from a distance . They didn’t dare to come forward and pay their respects to her .

As for Long Chen, he looked incredibly sloppy in comparison, without the slightest air of the imperial family . He looked like a loafer without the slightest care . He was looking left and right, admiring the historical sites located all over the city .

Sometimes when Xia Youluo was pressing him, he would intentionally exclaim in admiration over a certain building’s magnificence, and then ask the guards about the building’s history . He managed to change the subject like this over and over again .

But Xia Youluo was like a child, and despite how obviously Long Chen was trying to avoid this subject, she still couldn’t sense it . Seeing Long Chen constantly changing the subject, she raged, “Long Chen, I’ve asked you so many times, but you refuse to give me an answer . Do you have any manners at all?”

Long Chen was speechless . Just who didn’t have any manners? He clearly didn’t want to reply, but she continued to press him . How was that reasonable?

Xia Yunchong had told Xia Youluo to bring Long Chen to the Wine G.o.d Palace . But as a result, as soon as they left the door, Xia Youluo began pressing Long Chen for information . When she wasn’t asking about the line of admirers, she asked about the Grand Han .

“Princess, please spare me . I really don’t know anything about the Grand Han . How am I supposed to answer you?” Long Chen bitterly smiled .

“Liar . You killed one of the Grand Han’s Eight Princes, Han Zhenyu . Having become enemies with the Grand Han, didn’t you come to my Grand Xia just to take refuge?” raged Xia Youluo .

Long Chen’s expression suddenly sank . He coldly looked at Xia Youluo . “Respected princess, there are a few things I should make clear . First, I really don’t know about the Grand Han, and I don’t want to talk about it .

“Second, the reason I have come to the Grand Xia is not because I’m taking refuge . I always face my battles, and my path from the Eastern Wasteland to the Central Plains was built through my enemies’ bones . I’ve never asked for anyone’s protection; it hasn’t happened in the past, it isn’t happening now, and it won’t happen in the future .

“Third, when you speak to me, take note of your words . Although you are a princess, don’t think others need to give you whatever you want just because of your status or beauty .

“Fourth, don’t be so arrogant, because your arrogance has no power backing it . If it weren’t for the Grand Xia’s upbringing, then no matter how good your talent, you would never have had your current accomplishments . Everything you have was bestowed by your father, your mother, your brothers, and the Grand Xia’s people . Can you tell me a single thing that you have achieved with your own power? Just where does your pride and confidence come from?”

Long Chen had been enduring this the entire time . Because Xia Yunchong had entrusted him with this mission, Long Chen had exercised patience with Xia Youluo’s rude questions .

As he endured, he repeatedly told himself that she was just a child and that he couldn’t treat her like an adult . But it seemed like she never used her head before speaking, and she didn’t care about other people’s feelings . Hence, he finally exploded .

Xia Youluo’s expression sank and she raged, “You are provoking me!”

“Don’t say such a senseless thing . I stopped playing with such words in my youth . The people who have said such things to me have long since been buried . Although your cultivation base and power might be greater than mine, if we were to truly fight to the death, the one to die would definitely be you . ” Long Chen suddenly stopped walking and stared at Xia Youluo icily, his eyes revealing his confidence .

He wasn’t trying to intimidate Xia Youluo . He felt like her confidence had inflated after killing the Bloodkill Hall’s Soul Transformation expert . But there had been many special factors that had allowed her to kill him, which were not based on her own power .

The Bloodkill Hall’s people didn’t specialize in fighting head-on . They specialized in a.s.sa.s.sinations and escaping arts . It was because of Long Chen that the Bloodkill Hall expert had given up on running, as he was too enticed by the thought of killing Long Chen . Then he had ignited too much of his Yuan Spirit and his consciousness had grown muddled . He had actually forgotten about Long Chen and launched an attack on Xia Youluo who had been preparing one of her ultimate moves .

If she had fought another Soul Transformation expert, she would be in danger of being killed in one blow .

“You!” Xia Youluo’s hand gripped her sword, and her aura began to condense . All the guards behind them were shocked . Just what was going on? How could she want to start fighting without a word?

These guards were Xia Yunchong’s people . Xia Youluo was Xia Yunchong’s little sister, while Long Chen was Xia Yunchong’s precious guest . If these two fought, they wouldn’t even know who to help .

“You aren’t my match . In a life and death battle, I would definitely take your life within three moves . If I can’t, I, Long Chen, will immediately kill myself in front of Grand Xia City . ” Long Chen clasped his hands behind his back, his voice icy and emotionless .

The previously smiling Long Chen, who looked like a big brother, had instantly become a merciless death G.o.d . Xia Youluo’s heart was swamped with terror as she looked at Long Chen’s eyes . She seemed to be able to see a boundless mountain of corpses and sea of blood within the depths of those eyes .

This was Long Chen’s killing intent that was normally hidden in his heart . It was acc.u.mulated from countless huge battles . Now, he was no longer hiding it, allowing Xia Youluo to see it .

Xia Youluo had grown up in the imperial palace and spent most of her time cultivating . Although she was powerful, her experience was pitifully low . She couldn’t possibly compare to someone like Long Chen who had crawled his way out of a pile of corpses .

She trembled, her face pale . Long Chen’s mouth curled and he said, “Put away that move you used against your big brother . I’ve already said that not everybody has to pamper you . At the very least, I won’t . I’m going to the Wine G.o.d Palace . You can go back . ”

Long Chen turned and continued onward . Xia Youluo stood there blankly for a long moment . She wanted to cry yet didn’t dare to . She didn’t know what to do .
