Chapter 64 (2/2)
His relationship with Yang Lingqing was extremely great and, seeing that he was about to go to Yuanling City, this girl should have been very reluctant.
“What gift is she getting me?”
Holding on to this thought after Yang Xueqing left, Long Chen started packing the things inside his cosmos pouch.
With regards to his financial situation, he barely had a deity jade. Although he was still considered wealthy in Poplar Town, when he goes to Yuanling City he will be as poor as a pauper.
There were also a few energy cores but they belonged to a few Demonic Earth Hounds and the Phantom Star Wolf and could not be sold for a lot. The only item that was of value was that single Soul Diffusion Fruit that he had.
“Right now, I’m still in the eighth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. I am unable to use this Soul Diffusion Fruit and am completely unable to deal with the vicious people of the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect. However, if I were to enter the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm I could immediately consume this Soul Diffusion Fruit and enter the Deity Dan Realm. With my Dragon Soul Qi of tenfold quality and [Dragon Soul Transformation], at that moment my battle strength will definitely increase by a substantial level!”
“Crimson Blood Sacred Sect……”
Founder Yang was thinking of giving a number of deity jades to Long Chen. However he had rejected them as he rationalized that these few pieces of deity jades at Yang family was much more useful than giving them to Long Chen.
“Hey, how much longer can your Dream Spirit Gra.s.s last?”
Lingxi calculated, and said worriedly: “Previously, there were six stalks of Dream Spirit Gra.s.ses but three were used up in the last battle. If there is no further mishap we can still manage for another two months or so…..”
Long Chen knew about Lingxi’s concern for him. Should there be any attacks that were irresistible, she would definitely come to his rescue. However, these three stalks of Dream Spirit Gra.s.s were barely sufficient for Lingxi and perhaps they were only sufficient for one more attack.
Deep down in his heart, Long Chen was unwilling to allow Lingxi to help.
“In the next two months, I will try not to get into any dangerous situations and at the same time find more medicine with spirit healing properties.”
Long Chen became distressed thinking about all these things.
Protecting the Yang Family and the survival of Lingxi’s life had become two of his mission that must be accomplished.
“Lingxi’s current situation is still extremely dangerous. It seems that I will need to invest more time and effort in this matter. This silly girl, how can i bear to let her leave me……”
“Speaking of which, I, Long Chen, am still very poor……”
After understanding this fact, the allotted time gradually pa.s.sed. Long Chen once again packed some clothes and luggage. He opened his room’s door and saw that the Yang Family members were already outside waiting.
He quickly scanned through the crowd. Realising Yang Lingqing was not there, Long Chen hurriedly asked: “Where is Lingqing?”
Yang Yuntian forced out a smile, shaking his head, and said: “This silly girl said she was preparing a gift, but has yet to return. If you need to leave now, I’m afraid she will not be able to send you off.”
“Let’s go outside first to continue our talk.”
Long Chen was clueless as to what Yang Lingqing was up to. Under the various questions of worry and concern showered on to him, Long Chen and the rest very quickly left the Yang residence. It was at that moment that the sun began to rise and mild golden sunlight shone down on the earth, extending to Long Chen’s feet.
The crowd waited for a while, however Yang Lingqing was nowhere in sight. With a heart filled with anxiety, as soon as Founder Yang moved to ask Long Chen to stop waiting, the cry of a horse came sounding from the distant horizon.
Long Chen looked afar and spotted this silly girl, Yang Lingqing, who was rushing over to the crowd on a two metre tall majestic horse. Very quickly, she arrived in front of everyone.
The crowd was eagerly looking towards the tall and majestic horse. It was completely black from head to tail, had firm muscles, strong and powerful legs, and every breath it made was tough and steady from practice. On the neck there grew a long and black horse mane, and had a pair of eyes that displayed haughtiness and endurance, along with a tinge of red color.
On both its head and legs there were a few black scales. This was seemingly akin to the scales of Long Chen’s [Dragon Soul Transformation].
“This……Isn’t this a demonic beast in the fifth level of the Huang grade: the Ebony Scaled Horse?”
Long Chen never thought that the gift Yang Lingqing would give him was actually this Ebony Scaled Horse.
This majestic and awe-inspiring presence of the beast was favoured greatly by Long Chen. What especially interested him was the faint murderous and blood-filled aura that it carried. The horse was definitely to Long Chen’s liking.
Yang Lingqing understood his tastes very well. She even went into Big Barren Mountain during the night to tame this beast for him! When the ma.s.ses saw Yang Lingqing covered in dirt as she hopped down the horse’s back, it was clear that she definitely suffered a lot in the process.
The Yang Family had originally prepared a fine horse as Long Chen’s mode of transportation but, compared to the Ebony Scaled Horse, it definitely paled in comparison.
Very soon, Yang Lingqing walked in front of Long Chen. While she excitedly looked towards him she chirped: “Elder Brother Chen, this is a gift that I prepared for you. Do you like it?”
Seeing the pretty face of this girl, which still had some mud that was not yet removed, Long Chen felt extremely moved. He laughed heartily as he embraced Yang Lingqing and furiously pinched her cheeks, saying: “Girl, if only you weren’t my cousin, how great would that be? I would definitely drag you to bed!”
Saying these words in front of the Yang Family members, Long Chen was not embarra.s.sed in the slightest. As for Yang Lingqing, she was extremely shy and angry at the same time. She pushed Long Chen away and hurriedly ran towards her father’s side. When she saw that everyone was looking at her, her whole face flushed red like a ripe apple.
“Alright now, Chen Er, don’t bully my daughter anymore. If not, I’ll fight with you to the death again.” Yang Yuntian laughed heartily.
Looking at the Ebony Scaled Horse Long Chen saw the reluctance in the eyes of everyone. This was including the shy, yet furious, Yang Lingqing, and the gentle gaze radiating from Yang Xueqing. Long Chen did not say another word and mounted the horse.
That Ebony Scaled Horse was so frightened by his powerful aura that it did not dare move.
After taking in a deep breath, Long Chen waved towards the Yang Family members before turning around and headed towards Yuanling City.
At this moment, the sun was scorching in the sky and Long Chen gradually disappeared under the blazing sunlight.
