Chapter 1601 (2/2)

The woman’s chest was constantly heaving from rage. Speaking of which, although she was rather lithe and had a pure face, the scale of her chest wasn’t small. It could just barely be counted as causing surging waves.

“I’m asking the questions right now! What’s your name?” she demanded.

“Long Chen.”

Long Chen’s reply was short and direct. His name had yet to reach the point of being able to shake h.e.l.l just yet.

“Where are you from?”

“I suppose the east?”

“What is the east supposed to mean? It seems you come from some tiny place. Which world are you from?”

“Yesterday?”

“You… you don’t even know this? Then which star-field are you from?!”

“What’s a star-field?”

Long Chen looked at the woman in shock. Now he wasn’t acting. Just where was this woman from?

“Fine, I get it. You’re just a rookie and know nothing. You can leave then. I have to keep gathering- cough, I have to go into seclusion. I’ll spare you this time.” The woman waved her hand in a shooing motion.

“Alright, then I’ll go first while you busy yourself. This water’s so hard to gather. How much have you gotten?” asked Long Chen.

“Just a bit-” The woman had gone a bit absent-minded after shooing off Long Chen. It was unknown what she was thinking, but she randomly answered Long Chen’s random question. However, her expression quickly changed, and she glared at him, only to see a naughty smile.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you are provoking the grand-!”

“Alright, little conner, don’t think you can fool the old conner. Your Dao is still shallow. When it comes to duping people, it takes hard work and experience. Someone like you with no foundation, no technique, and no plan is just embarra.s.sing the art of conning,” said Long Chen.

“I’m not a conner! You’re the conner!” raged the woman.

“Well, whatever. You’re here for the white water, and I’m here to gather it too. Why do you have to force me away? Do you think you can gather this whole lake by yourself? Don’t be so stingy!” said Long Chen.

“Tch, I’m the one who got here first! You charged into my territory! How can you be so unreasonable?!” raged the woman, puffing out her chest righteously.

“I’m unreasonable? Fine, you’re right, this place is yours. Go ahead and slowly gather as much as you can. I’ll switch to another place,” said Long Chen. It wasn’t as if he wanted to be enemies with her.

Although this woman had tried to con him, she had never had an urge to kill him. He wasn’t so narrow-hearted as to fight against her over this.

Long Chen refused to believe that she could gather all the water of this giant lake.

“Hmph, your boat isn’t even as large as mine. Even if you packed it full with water, how are you going to bring it away?” demanded the woman disdainfully.

Long Chen almost laughed. Why did it feel like she was looking down on him just because his boat was smaller?

Long Chen looked down at his small, shabby boat and then at her large flying boat. He supposed it did look a bit shameful.

Ignoring her, he went around this region and entered the white lake from a greater distance.

When he entered the white region, his boat directly sank into the water along with him.

He had forgotten that life and death were opposing attributes. There was no way his small boat made of the soil of death could float on this water of life.

Seeing him fall into the water, the woman laughed at him. Fortunately, this water was filled with life energy and didn’t harm him.

“What vast life energy. However… I can’t absorb it.” Long Chen’s expression changed.

“Hey, do you not know how to swim? If you beg me, I won’t let you drown,” said the woman.

Long Chen ignored her. He was sensing the rhythm of life within this white water. Its rhythm was completely different from a human’s, and there was no way to use it to heal injuries. This water was useless to him.

After all his trials to get here, he found that this water was useless to him. He almost shed a tear.

“Hey, isn’t it just water? Don’t cry. I can give you a bottle. You can bring it back and raise some gra.s.s and flowers,” laughed the woman. She slowly sent her flying boat over to him. A chain came out of it for Long Chen to climb on.

“Raising gra.s.s and flowers? Could it be…”

Long Chen suddenly laughed. “Thanks for the reminder.” A large vortex appeared behind him, and the water of the white lake was sucked in rapidly.
