DBWG Chapter 100 (2/2)
Seeing Long Chen so deep in thought all of a sudden with his expression showing such ecstasy, Lingxi knitted her brows and questioned. Long Chen simply laughed in embarra.s.sment. It had already gotten dark, and Long Chen glanced in the direction of the Daybreak Merchants Union, suddenly beaming, “Little Xi, did you notice that the name ‘Daybreak Merchants Union’…” “Is there anything strange about it?” Long Chen lightly smiled, “Daybreak (Chen Xi), is made up of my ‘Chen’ and your ‘Xi’. Together, won’t we be Chen Xi?” Feeling Long Chen’s pa.s.sionate gaze on her, Lingxi turned bright red, fl.u.s.tered, and made threatening gestures as she scolded, “If you dare take advantage of me, just see if I smack your bottom!”
Though this was admonishment, there was still sweetness and gentleness in her tone. Suddenly realising what she was doing, Lingxi was stunned for a moment and then changed the topic, “It’s about time, isn’t it? I want to leave now.” Long Chen had no desire to stop her. If she did not display her usefulness, she might cause some trouble for him in the future. The danger of this mission was relatively low, so Long Chen agreed to it. “Remember, your safety is more important than anything else.”
“Yeah.”
The little Lingxi Sword slid out from the side of Long Chen’s ear, and then disappeared into the night. Without the Lingxi Sword by his ear, Long Chen felt a little empty and unsettled. When Lingxi was not by his side, he suddenly felt extremely lonely.
“Am I actually afraid of loneliness?” It was difficult to imagine how he would have survived this journey, and how he would fare in the future if Lingxi was not around. “‘Chen Xi’ talks about the beginning of a day. We’re always going to be like the crisp morning, signifying a new life that will eternally exist!” At this point, Long Chen closed his eyes, placed his hands on the armrest of the chair he was sitting on and leant back, feeling his own heartbeat. Long Chen listened closely, finding that it was very loud.
This sound was extremely loud in his ears. There was a vague sense of the omnipresence of a crimson, G.o.dlike dragon in his heart, roaring and snarling.
“The Immemorial Blood Spirit Dragon… Is my fate only blood and slaughter?”
Time slowly pa.s.sed, and in a little more than a quarter of an hour, Long Chen’s eyes opened. At this moment, a cosmos pouch fell into his palm, and a satisfying feeling reappeared by his ear. “You idiot, get back to Lingwu City as soon as you can!” Without a word, Long Chen strode forward and headed for Lingwu City. Noticing that there was no sign of weariness in Lingxi’s voice, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. While rushing back, Long Chen asked worriedly, “How was it? Did you get hurt?”
“How’s that possible?” Lingxi was rather proud of herself, “That stinking guy got his cosmos pouch stolen even before he noticed me. I even helped you teach that Ao Xue a lesson! Who told her to be so hateful!” Upon hearing that Lingxi had done something mischievous, Long Chen was rather interested, “What did you do to her?” Being asked this, Lingxi turned red and became a little embarra.s.sed. The feeling of being a bad child was amazing, though it did not fit with her style.
“I… I cut her hair…” “Pu!” Long Chen was rather unsure about this, but he couldn’t help but feel that this little girl was simply too adorable. “Oh right, there’s something else. While stealing this cosmos pouch, I exchanged some moves with Manager Zhao. I also used a secret method to conceal myself, which consumed quite a bit of energy. Out of the medicinal power from the four Spirit Recovery Fruits, I’ve used up about two…” Long Chen was quite speechless at this spoilt child, but he waved his arms and spoke grandly, “Don’t worry and consume as much as you like. Once it’s not enough, I can go steal more!”
“Yay!” “Let’s go. Once we’re back, let’s see how many Thunder Flame Crystals you obtained!”
