Chapter 1639: Long Chen’s Killing Inten

The Pill Fairy left, leaving Meng Qi and the others a bit befuddled. As women, they could clearly sense her feelings for Long Chen.

Furthermore, they also knew what Long Chen had done in Pill Valley as Long San. Originally, he had been keeping it secret, but Tang Wan-er had wheedled him until he had spat out the truth.

Back then, Tang Wan-er had actually gotten quite jealous, but when she saw the Pill Fairy in person, she found that her pure-hearted nature made it very difficult for one to feel badly toward her.

In truth, women were just that curious. When the Pill Fairy had invited Long Chen to join her, they had felt jealous, but when Long Chen had turned her down, her sad expression and lonely figure had made them feel pity.

How Long Chen had acted toward the Pill Fairy when he had seen her in the Skywood Divine Palace had also satisfied the three of them, so after discussing it, they had decided to give the Pill Fairy a chance.

Meng Qi was their representative in expressing their goodwill toward the Pill Fairy. Her att.i.tude was their att.i.tude. However, the Pill Fairy had actually declined.

“Is this her way of winning her face back after Long Chen refused her first?” wondered Tang Wan-er.

“How could that be possible? She’s not that kind of petty person,” said Meng Qi.

“Long Chen, what’s going on?” Tang Wan-er turned to Long Chen.

“Perhaps… you’ve just misunderstood and she doesn’t have such thoughts at all.” Long Chen shrugged helplessly. The hearts of women were so difficult to understand. Anyone who could understand them could directly be bestowed the t.i.tle of a G.o.d.

“We’re being serious here!” rebuked Tang Wan-er.

“I’m not kidding. There really is nothing between us,” said Long Chen.

There really had been nothing between them. They hadn’t had a kiss or anything like that. He had always felt great respect for the Pill Fairy, but nothing more.

“Long Chen, are you really this dumb or are you just acting?” asked Meng Qi.

“What?”

Meng Qi shook her head. “It seems you really don’t understand women. The Pill Fairy gave you her ident.i.ty plate to allow you to leave Pill Valley. Do you really think that was purely out of the kindness of her heart?”

Long Chen looked at Meng Qi, speechless.

Meng Qi couldn’t help sighing. “Fool, she was unwilling to see you die in Pill Valley and would rather take the responsibility herself to let you live. Do you realize her actions are equivalent to a betrayal? Do you know how serious the consequences would be? You might be a fool, but she’s not. If it weren’t for her feelings toward you, would she be willing to do such a thing? If you had used that ident.i.ty plate at that time, then even if she could escape death since she’s the valley master’s daughter, her future prospects would surely come to an end. Did you not think of that outcome?”

“Well...” Long Chen’s heart pounded. At that time, he had thought that Pill Fairy was just helping him because of her feelings of right and wrong. He hadn’t considered all of this. Only now that Meng Qi told him did he realize he had been thinking too simply.

However, this was too crazy. He and the Pill Fairy hadn’t even been together for that long, and they hadn’t had any life and death experiences together. He was unable to believe that the Pill Fairy had fallen for him.

“Long Chen, I order you to win back the Pill Fairy!” said Tang Wan-er solemnly.

“Are you talking in your sleep?” Long Chen looked at her with surprise.

“Who’s sleeptalking? I’m being serious.”

“I don’t believe you. You’re definitely testing me again. I won’t fall for it,” said Long Chen.

Tang Wan-er often laid traps for Long Chen in her words. Sometimes when they saw a beautiful woman, she would intentionally have Long Chen appraise her. If he refused, she would say it was because he felt guilty and had definitely had those thoughts toward that woman. On the other hand, if he did as she asked and appraised her to prove his innocence, she would demand why he had been looking so closely if he hadn’t been having those kinds of thoughts. Either way would end up with some torment for him.

That was why Long Chen’s guard was immediately raised when Tang Wan-er said this. He refused to fall for her trap again.

“You fool, this time it’s real!” raged Tang Wan-er.

“You said that every time, and every time, the only real thing was the trap!”

“You!” Tang Wan-er clenched her teeth furiously.

Meng Qi interjected, “Long Chen, this time Wan-er is being serious. This is our collective view as well. There’s no need for you to find it curious. We might get jealous, but we understand you. It’s not that you have no feelings for the Pill Fairy but that you don’t dare to have them. We’re happy you feel that way, but there’s no need for you to express your innocence. Just tell me, if the Pill Fairy was married off to someone tomorrow, would you feel alright in your heart?”

“I…”

“Remember, you can’t lie in front of me!” Meng Qi looked closely into Long Chen’s eyes.
