Chapter 19 (2/2)

“Tell me, what exactly is your situation right now.”

Long Chen had been infuriated slightly so Lingxi had kept quiet in fear. And then in a gentle tone: “My physical body has already disappeared, right now my surroundings are pitch black, and my consciousness right now is being preserved only because of my spirit strength. Each time I use it my strength will diminish a little. Last time my mind was in a mess and in fear, so I directed the Lingxi sword to fly for a very far distance. My spirit strength is almost finishing, and adding on to that the last two times I appeared, if I do not have any medicine that could heal and prolong my spirit, I think I will……”

Long Chen shouted from a bolt out of the blue and said: “Why didn’t you say so sooner!?”

Lingxi felt like she had been wronged, so she said sobbing: “I just woke up, so why are you so fierce with me? And also if I didn’t appear this last time you would have been dead already. There was no time to talk about it at all……”

Only then did Long Chen calm down, and after keeping his silence for a while, he said: “Xiao Xi, thank you, but as a man, in the future, I do not need you to appear for me anymore. The medicine you mentioned earlier which can nurture your spirit, I will go find it for you right now!”

Lingxi was practically the one who used her life to exchange for his, so while Long Chen did not say how touched he was, but deep in his heart, he had already considered Lingxi’s life as his life. And what’s most important is the fact that he had to be the one responsible for his own life.

Hence Long Chen kept the [Seal of the Dragons] in his arms and left the house. He wasn’t so familiar with the medicine of cultivators, but Long Chen had one person in the Yang family with which he could somewhat get along with. This person was Yang Lingqing, so he decided to look for her.

“A medicine which nurtures the spirit cannot be found so easily, and generally they are rather expensive. Long Chen, have I become a burden for you?”

“What bulls.h.i.t are you saying!? You saved my life, so I am simply spending my time and effort for you in return. How can it be considered as a burden? Has water entered your brain now?”

Although on the way Long Chen spoke very harshly, but in his speech there was a strong concern and urgency detected, which Lingxi appreciated. Looking at this unwavering young man in front of her, her mind started thinking of some stuff. This disaster that has befallen upon her, had let her mature gradually unlike the carefree life she had from before.

“Oh right, earlier you said there was a barrier placed on the [Seal of the Dragons]? Are you able to remove it?”

Earlier because of Lingxi, he had actually forgotten about the most important thing. And as he thought about it now, Long Chen’s face was eagerly filled with expectations.

“Right now with my current spirit strength, it’s not enough for me to even look at the barrier closely. However if I were to get the medicine for my spirit, I can definitely give it a try.”

Long Chen was belated and said: “What a good Xiao Xi. As expected you are very capable. If you had a body how good would that be, I could kiss you now to reward you!”

After saying this, Long Chen laughed out loudly.

“Hng! Dream on, such an ugly toad like you wants to eat swan meat!? However if you want to undo the barrier, the medicine cannot be just a little. I am a voracious eater so if you need me to do anything in the future, it’s very simple, I must eat medicine!”

[TL Note: (Idiom) “A toad wanting to eat swan meat.” means to crave for someone that you are unworthy of.]

“Okay okay, you medicinal junkie.”

After the joke, the atmosphere wasn’t that gloomy as before. However Long Chen understood that the responsibilities he carried now will be heavier than before.

Not only does he have to become stronger, but he also has to ama.s.s more treasures, since only medicine with spirit healing properties can prolong Lingxi’s life.

“Such a small place like Poplar Town, will it have Spirit Healing Medicine……”

Long Chen was still deeply concerned.

Walking towards the courtyard of the Yang family, at the instant that the guards and maids had noticed him, they hurriedly casted a smile towards him. However their smiles were forced, and looked even uglier than their crying faces.

Long Chen’s performance in the intra-family compet.i.tion, had led him to a high position in the Yang family. And adding to that his strong capabilities and his vicious nature, how would these small frys dare to be disrespectful towards him. It would be akin to asking for punishment because they had nothing better to do.

On the side, Yang Wu was watching silently as a row of guards walked past and greeted Long Chen. His expression gradually turned darker.

“Originally this item had belonged to Xiao Yue Er, but now it is stolen by this lackey. Look at that arrogant face of a servant of yours. However, I wonder for how long you can be pleased with yourself.”

“Grandfather regards you importantly right now, but it’s just to make use of you. Although Second Uncle’s cultivation is still in the seventh level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, he has been faithful in carrying out his duties for the family business and has sacrificed so much for the Yang family until now. You actually think that a useless playboy such as you, who has tarnished the reputation of the Yang family since you were young, can actually replace him? You’re like a sparrow that thinks that if it flies up the branch it turns into a phoenix.”

[TL Note: (Idiom) “Sparrow that thinks that if it flies up the branch it turns into a phoenix” means it does not matter how hard a commoner tries, because he will always be a commoner.]

Long Chen actually knew that Yang Wu was looking at him, but he couldn’t care less.

If anyone were to hit his own sister, Long Chen would most likely immediately go up to that person and fight that person with all his might. So whatever Yang Wu was thinking, he understood it.

“Xiao Xi, do you see the guy who is staring at me like he has a grudge?”

“I see it, but it doesn’t look like he has a grudge on you.”

“You don’t know the truth, but actually he is a pervert, and he has been having a crush on me for a long time already. But alas the both of us are guys, so he doesn’t dare to say it out, but the feelings he holds for me are more precious than pearls……”

“Ah, that’s so gross, I’m going to vomit!”
