Chapter 1603: The Core Region of the Nine Springs

“If there are treasures, then I’m definitely interested. However, aren’t you afraid of me killing you and taking the treasures all for myself when the time comes?” asked Long Chen.

At first, this girl had intentionally acted big toward Long Chen. However, later on, her hostility had faded.

Although Long Chen wasn’t afraid of her, he couldn’t go somewhere unknown without making things clear first. Who wouldn’t want a free meal? He didn’t want to be devoured by this girl.

“Hehe, you wouldn’t. You have the spiritual mark of the b.u.t.terfly Spirit race on your hand. That means you’re a good person and wouldn’t kill me. Furthermore, you shouldn’t look down on me. I’m not so easy to kill.” The woman pointed to the back of Long Chen’s hand. “If it weren’t for the mark of the b.u.t.terfly Spirit race, then do you think I’d work with you considering your fierce face?”

So that was the case. However, did he really have such a fierce face? Long Chen touched his face. He had never felt himself to look so fierce. He thought his looks actually weren’t bad.

“Don’t think you can cover up your heart so easily. You’ve killed many people, and you can’t conceal it. Back in the day, I was also a very handsome dragon, but after killing so many creatures… ah, f.u.c.k, whatever,” said the Evilmoon.

“Killing too much results in your appearance changing? I don’t believe you,” said Long Chen.

“I also didn’t believe it, but reality proves it. Those who kill too many people start looking fierce. You’ve killed so many people from the Corrupt path. Don’t they all look that way?” said Evilmoon.

That couldn’t be right. The people they killed were all innocent, and so they acc.u.mulated resentment. However, when Long Chen killed people, he always kept his conscience clean. It was definitely because he had been under too much pressure these days. Yes, that had to be why his appearance looked so fierce.

“Little sister…” Long Chen put on a smile and did his best to speak warmly.

The woman jumped in shock and hastily retreated. “Your smile is so sinister. Can you not smile like that? I’m afraid.”

“Hahaha…”

Long Chen’s smile stiffened, while Evilmoon’s heartless laughter rang out in his mind, making him want to slap it.

Seeing Long Chen’s expression sink, the woman laughed. “I’m just teasing you. Who asked you to con me at the start? Now we’re even.”

So he had actually fallen for the teasing of a girl. Long Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

After that joke, she became even friendlier with Long Chen. She introduced herself as Xie Qianqian. She came from a region called the Alldevil star-field.

“The Alldevil star-field? Have you heard of the Alldevil race?” asked Long Chen, surprised.

“You know about the Alldevil race?” asked Xie Qianqian, just as surprised as Long Chen.

Long Chen immediately said that he had encountered one of them in a minor world. He described its appearance.

“That truly is one of the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of the Alldevil race. The majority of the Alldevil star-field has been taken over by them, which is of course where it gets its name. Those despicable b.a.s.t.a.r.ds slaughtered countless people. We’re their enemies, and my parents, they… they were killed by them.” Tears dripped down her cheek without her knowing it.

Long Chen didn’t know how to console her. He could only silently listen. Xie Qianqian wiped away her tears and continued.

“That happened three years ago. My parents died in battle. While they were still alive, all the relatives did their best to curry favor with them, but after they died, they immediately showed me their true selves. They were doing their best to win favor with me in order to get my parent’s wealth. Hmph, I knew what kind of people they were from the start, so I sold off all my parents’ a.s.sets and left my household. I’m going to become strong and become a grand warrior capable of avenging my parents. That’s why I want to study at my star-field’s strongest academy. However, I can’t afford their tuition, so I bet everything on renting this special flying boat in hopes of getting a high return when I attacked the Life and Death realm. Oh, that would be your Netherpa.s.sage realm. Long Chen, I really need to thank you. This life spirit water should be enough for my tuition. Even if it’s not enough, I should be able to make up the difference through other means.”

Long Chen nodded. He really had misjudged her. He had thought that this woman had come out to play since she belonged to some powerful family with amazing treasures.

Just like he had his own difficulties, she had hers as well.

“Admirable.”

Long Chen gave her a thumbs-up along with some sincere praise.
