Chapter 23 – Killing IntentTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA

Hearing this voice, Long Chen immediately knew who it came from.

Yang Xueqing.

After hearing Yang Xueqing’s voice, Bai Shiji was stumped for a while. He then viciously looked at Long Chen, while the [Dark Heavenly Finger] technique that he was condensing earlier started to diminish.

As for Long Chen, he also did not use the [Seal of the Ashened Dragon].

“Aunt, we are here……”

After hearing Yang Xueqing’s voice, Yang Lingqing who cried like a little girl earlier, heaved a sigh of relief, and joyfully called out.

At first Yang Xueqing had only seen Bai Shiji, and had a look of concern for Bai Shiji. But after hearing Yang Lingqing’s voice, she then suddenly saw that the person Bai Shiji was confronting was actually Long Chen. So her gentle gaze was immediately replaced by an icy cold one.

Long Chen laughed grimly, he had to prostrate himself in admiration at this woman’s skill in changing her expression. However what was more pitiful was the fact that she had a gentle gaze for another person’s son, while when looking at her own son she used an ice-cold gaze.

Long Chen did not bother to understand this complex feeling he had. He also did not wish to look at Yang Xueqing while she was looking at Bai Shiji in a caring way. So when Yang Xueqing had appeared, he pretended that nothing had happened and began to walk away.

“Stop!”

Yang Xueqing’s icy cold voice rang beside his ears.

Long Chen turned around and asked: “May I know why is this wife of the Bai family looking for me? Could it be because I have beaten two wastes from the Bai family? Indeed, the two wastes were beaten by me. So may I ask, what are you going to do to me now?

Long Chen’s speech had made Yang Lingqing, who was somewhat excited at the arrival of Yang Xueqing earlier, get deflated like a balloon. She looked at Long Chen blankly, then she looked at Yang Xueqing’s grim expression, because no matter how hard she tried, Lingqing simply could not make out the situation.

Long Chen’s voice had a hint of insult in it, and this made it hard to breathe for Yang Xueqing. In front of everyone, Long Chen did not give her any face. She had become even angrier, especially because of the nonchalant look he had plastered on his face.

[TL Note: (Idiom) “Give someone face” means to show respect to someone.]

But she knew this; right now her reputation wasn’t that excellent due to the news of her remarrying, so if she would do anything to Long Chen now, it would be difficult to avoid rumours from spreading. And this wasn’t any good news for the Yang family or the Bai family.

So Yang Xueqing pretended not to hear any of Long Chen’s insults, and just turned around and asked Bai Shiji: “Shiji, today’s matter, I will first apologise to your Bai family. Also about him saying that he had beaten up members of the Bai family, is that true?”

Bai Shiji nodded his head and said: “He did indeed injure Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong. I was just about to resolve this issue with him, so that he won’t stir anymore conflicts in the future, for the good of both of our families, but you had suddenly appeared. Auntie Yang, Shiji trusts you, so you can take him home with you.”

Looking at this sensible child, Yang Xueqing was very satisfied with him. Besides, Bai Shiji’s cultivation was also not lacking. Getting into the seventh level of the Dragon Pulse Realm at the age of twenty, this was no ordinary feat.

So she nodded her head and said: “Please send my regards to your father. Today’s matter, I will personally go over to apologise. Right now I will take my leave first.”

“Auntie Yang please take care.”

Long Chen looking at these two who were showing off this pretense, started feeling disgusted.

With Yang Xueqing’s sudden appearance, the matter was over just like that. But as for Bai Shiji’s strength and the pressure he had, together with the threat of the [Dark Heavenly Finger], Long Chen had committed them all in his heart clearly!

“If I don’t have a plan to counter this [Dark Heavenly Finger] during the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion, and I were to meet him, and at that time there are few people around, I will definitely die!”

Yang Xueqing’s and Bai Shiji’s affectionate att.i.tude towards one another had made Long Chen furious, suddenly he thought of something.

“The demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion and their marriage is on the same day, if I were to kill Bai Shiji, then the Bai family will have to hold a funeral instead. It would be funny if the marriage would continue nonetheless!”

The two big events; the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion and the marriage, had also caused Long Chen to be at a loss for the past 3 days on how to handle things, since he wanted to create havoc at their wedding and stop them from getting married. But it was obvious that his strength right now was still lacking. Not to mention the Bai family wanting to deal with him, even the Yang family would want to dispose of him for throwing so much face.

That time, Long Chen had seen Bai Zhanxiong kidnapping the courtesans from the Emerald Jade House with his own eyes. He followed him from behind only to realise that Bai Zhanxiong had used these girls to make a trade with a group of people with a red dot between their eyebrows.

Last time he had told Yang Xueqing, but Yang Xueqing did not believe him.

Long Chen had always felt that these Bai family members were a little strange, and if Yang Xueqing were to marry over to them, the result would be unclear.

But right now, he had finally thought of a plan to salvage the situation.

Looking on coldly at Yang Xueqing and Bai Shiji who were conversing, he thought: “The only way, would be to kill Bai Shiji. After castrating one of his sons and killing the other, would they still have a chance to get married?”

And the best chance to kill Bai Shiji was of course during the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion. However to achieve this goal, Long Chen still needed to have a very huge breakthrough. But he had just obtained the Dream Spirit Gra.s.s, which was a crucial ingredient to that end.

After making plans in his mind, Long Chen did not bother to continue watching. Seeing that Long Chen had actually left first, Yang Lingqing hurriedly followed after him.

At this point, Yang Xueqing and Bai Shiji had just finished talking.

Despite her gentle looking nature, she was actually raging deep within. With so many onlookers, she too could not persist. But she knew that because of the way that Long Chen had humiliated her, she would definitely not give Long Chen a good time when she gets back to the Yang family residence.

“I helped you hold Bai Shiji back, which can be considered as saving your life, but you actually do not know how to repay my kindness, and even make me lose face. You have really disappointed me deeply!”

“Your strength isn’t much but your arrogance is sky high, thinking that you can beat anyone, how can you even think that Bai Shiji is someone you can defeat……”
