Chapter 1348 (2/2)

Seeing Long Chen, she was so terrified that she couldn’t even make a sound . She wanted to run but didn’t dare to . She just stared at Long Chen with shock .

“Am I so terrifying?” Long Chen bitterly smiled . He didn’t feel like his appearance was that frightening .

“Master Long San, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to disturb you, I…” the girl cried with terror .

So it turned out that his name was so resounding that it could even make a child cry . He smiled and comforted her, “Little sister, don’t be afraid . Big bro isn’t a bad person . What happened? Tell your big brother who bullied you, and your big brother will immediately cut their head off and give it to you as a toy . ”

Either Long Chen’s words were truly amusing or his voice sounded comforting . Either way, seeing the warmth in his eyes, the girl felt that this overlord of Pill Valley wasn’t as terrifying as she had imagined .

“Master Long San, I…”

“Don’t call me Master Long San . You can call me brother Long . Tell me who bullied you and I’ll go cut off their head . It’s been three days since I’ve done anything, and I don’t know if I’ve fallen out of practice . ” Long Chen smiled .

Although he was talking about killing someone, his smile was warm . The girl felt a burst of warmth in her heart . “Brother Long, I…”

She had only just opened her mouth when tears streamed down her face . She once more became choked with sobs . “Thank you big brother, it’s been a long time since anyone spoke to me and treated me well . . ”

“Hey, don’t cry . Talk to your big brother . I’ll help you get revenge . With big brother protecting you, no one will dare to bully you . ” Long Chen patted his chest confidently . He also patted his b.u.t.t and sat down in front of her .

“I just have to hide from the bully, so it’s fine . However, I encountered a bottleneck and can’t advance . My mom and dad worked so hard to raise me, expending so much blood and sweat for me . I’m carrying the hopes of my entire family, but I’m too stupid and have been stuck at this bottleneck for over a month without the slightest progress . I’m too stupid, I’m a failure…” The girl clenched her hands, her nails digging into her skin so hard that she bled . She clearly hated herself for being useless .

Long Chen sighed deeply . This girl was only thirteen years old, but her cultivation base had already reached the Xiantian realm . Based on the Heavenly Dao fluctuations coming from her, she was probably a rank six Celestial .

At such an age, she was already an inner disciple of Pill Valley . She was practically a demon-cla.s.s genius . But who would have thought that behind such a bright figure was a concealed weak heart?

Perhaps in the eyes of her parents and her family, she was their pride . But a thoughtful and smart child had to endure their own bitterness .

The smarter a child, the more hopes would rest on them, and the more pressure they would be under . Just because she was smart, did she have to carry a greater burden?

Parents often had to give more attention to their children that weren’t smart, that didn’t understand why they had to work hard . So they pushed all their hopes onto their smart children . Was that fair?

“Little sister, don’t worry . Just tell me what bottleneck you encountered . Big brother is an alchemy expert, and even the Pill Fairy wants to learn my alchemy arts . If you don’t believe me, you can go ask her . ” In order to make the girl trust him, Long Chen’s old habit resurfaced and he began to brag a bit .

“Really?” The girl might be an alchemy genius, but she was still an inexperienced, naive child . She looked at Long Chen with shock .

“Of course . It’s precisely because I taught her a few peerless techniques that she stood by my side when I killed that Qu Chunsheng,” lied Long Chen without batting an eye .

“Big brother, you’re amazing! Even the Pill Fairy has asked you for advice? Then you definitely have to help me!” This la.s.s was still a little girl and instantly believed him . She pulled on his arm excitedly as if she had run into her savior .

“It’s no problem . Alchemy problems aren’t even problems in front of me . ” This time Long Chen wasn’t bragging . In terms of alchemy, he was truly unrivaled .

“Big brother, when I’m condensing the pills and my Spiritual Strength merges with my Pill Flame, how am I supposed to balance the two and control them separately in order to increase the chances of succeeding with the refinement?” asked the little girl .

“This is very simple . There are seven ways to do this, but I’ll only explain three simple ones . Listen well . ”

This question might be a conundrum to others, but it could not be more simple for Long Chen .

The girl was incredibly excited . The bottleneck that had perplexed her for so long was instantly broken .

“Big brother, I’m going home to refine pills . I can’t go into the Divine Pill Hall, so you have to come out and come find me, Wan Qing! Don’t forget to play with me in the future!” The girl learned quickly, and she refused to waste any time . She ran off to digest Long Chen’s theories .

Long Chen smiled and sighed . There really were no lazy geniuses .

“Master Long San, your theories are so profound . Can I also get some pointers?” Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out behind Long Chen, and his smile instantly turned stiff .

When he saw the Pill Fairy smiling at him, even with his thick skin, he felt his face burning .
