Chapter 1419 (2/2)
Long Chen felt a strange mix of emotions when it came to Leng Yueyan . He wasn’t able to describe it . She was like the legendary h.e.l.lflower .
Legend was that those who saw it would be attracted by its body . Despite knowing that approaching it meant death, they were unable to resist the allure . Even if they were to die, they had to get closer .
Leng Yueyan gave Long Chen the same feeling . Leng Yueyan was both beautiful and dangerous, but for some reason, Long Chen had a desire to protect her .
That kind of thinking was very foolish and very dangerous . It was also very stimulating . He was unable to extricate himself from her .
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, why did you have to treat me so well? If you hadn’t, I would be able to keep trying to kill you . ” Leng Yueyan smiled as she cursed him . But tears had appeared in her eyes .
Leng Yueyan got closer to Long Chen . She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest .
Long Chen spread his arms, not daring to move . His spine was rigid, and his gooseb.u.mps rippled .
This should have been a very alluring action, but being hugged by Leng Yueyan, Long Chen felt a chill .
“It’s over for me . Even the pot won’t be able to save me this time . ”
At this distance, if Leng Yueyan wanted to kill him, he would definitely die . He cursed inside . Well, if he died, then he died . He embraced Leng Yueyan, softly patting her hair .
“Other than killing me, can’t you find something else to do with me?” Long Chen bitterly smiled .
“No . Before you, I was constantly searching for targets . But after encountering you, I realized that in this world, only you could…” Leng Yueyan shook her head, cutting herself off in the middle of her words . “Long Chen, if I one day die, will you feel bad?”
“Yes, I’ll feel very bad,” replied Long Chen .
“Then that’s good . Thank you . ”
Leng Yueyan suddenly laughed while crying . Her smile was like a blooming flower, while her tears were like pearls of dew . That was an indescribable beauty .
“Yueyan, can’t we properly talk one time? Whatever words you have in your heart, tell me . I’ll keep your secret, and I’ll help you think of what to do,” promised Long Chen . He knew Leng Yueyan had her own secrets . But she never revealed those .
“Aren’t you the same as well? You have just as many secrets as me . Do you tell them to your brothers and sisters?” retorted Leng Yueyan .
“I…”
“It’s useless to share some secrets with others, so there’s no need to reveal them . I’ve already figured out my path forward . I’ll have to rely on myself to resolve things, and I can’t rely on others . ”
Leng Yueyan stood, the tears and smile on her face vanis.h.i.+ng . Her icy expression appeared once more . The killing G.o.ddess was back .
“You weren’t sleeptalking just now, right? Are you going to start trying to kill me again now?” Long Chen asked suspiciously upon seeing her return to this state .
The current Leng Yueyan felt like a completely different person than the one who had been speaking to him a moment ago . If he couldn’t smell her scent, he might even think he had been caught in an illusion before .
“Don’t worry, I said I wouldn’t kill you . Furthermore, I’ll sever the karma between us . We’ll walk our own paths in the future,” said Leng Yueyan .
“Why does that sound a bit hurtful?” Long Chen bitterly smiled, feeling like the emotions that had just appeared in Leng Yueyan had been cut off by a knife .
“This battlefield has something I need, so I’m going to search for it . This calm place that we’re in is a special place where experts once died . It can be considered a pure land within this chaos . They used their own bodies to create minor worlds in their deaths . Because they died, the minor worlds became even weaker, and within a Sovereign’s pressure, these minor worlds form layers upon layers . If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to find heaven-defying treasures . Long Chen, goodbye . I will return your favor of not killing me twice . ” After Leng Yueyan finished talking, she took out her bone sword and slashed the air .
Divine light rippled on the sword tip, and the void was cut open like it was a piece of cloth . Leng Yueyan glanced back at Long Chen for a moment before stepping into that opening .
Through the other side of the opening, Long Chen saw a dark and gloomy world . Before he could see any details, the opening closed and it vanished . All that was before him was this barren desert .
Long Chen was unable to calm himself for a long time . Although he had escaped from Leng Yueyan’s irrational, vexing killing, he didn’t feel the slightest joy . Instead, he felt disappointment .
When Leng Yueyan had asked him if he would feel bad if she died, a vague sense of unease had appeared in his heart .
After she said she would give up trying to kill him, her bright eyes had immediately lost their l.u.s.ter . That scene was deeply imprinted in his mind .
Just what secrets did Leng Yueyan have? Why did she want to kill him, and why did the Eastern Wasteland Bell say that she was a pitiable person?
These questions tumbled through Long Chen’s mind, but he couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer .
Other than that, he didn’t understand what she meant by severing the karma between them . Karma was something so vague that people on their level shouldn’t be able to touch it yet .
He felt like his head would split . But since Leng Yueyan refused to answer, he didn’t have the slightest solution to her problems .
Swinging his head, he gave up trying to figure it out . Without being told the riddle, who could possibly find the answer?
BOOM!
Long Chen followed Leng Yueyan’s actions, and he swung his pot through the air . A huge opening actually appeared in the void . Long Chen looked inside and jumped in .
