DBWG Chapter 145 (2/2)

These rivals in love would both represent the Green Faction and fight together, and would definitely put on a good show. For this reason, there was boundless antic.i.p.ation towards this selection.

There were ten more days till the first day of the eleventh month, and everyone felt as if time was crawling.

Though Long Chen might have been on the upper hand in love, he was probably going to have a tragic end on the battlefield.

As he was the only one at the Human Dan Realm, Long Chen caught much attention. His information was read through time and again. While he had defeated Feng Wutian, Long Chen was still undoubtedly the weakest in the selection.

Every time Long Chen went out, he could see everyone discussing the inner faction selection in Lingwu City. Long Chen was one of the most-talked-about topics, but it was clear that n.o.body expected him to do well. When they spoke of him, what they wanted to see was what would happen between him and his rival in love, Chu Yunxi.

“Chu Yunxi is an exceptional talent, and the Chu family is quite amazing too. I wonder if Liu Lan has a screw loose to choose a pig like Long Chen!”

Every time he heard this, Long Chen had the urge to vomit blood. This was the reason he did not dare go to the Treasure Exchange Pavilion. If he were to be surrounded, he’d probably be drowned by all the saliva they would spit out.

“What a shameless woman.” Lingxi puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

“Long Chen, with your current strength, it really will be difficult to deal with them. Don’t worry though. I’ve taken the Spirit Gra.s.s, and can take on an attack that even someone at the perfect mastery stage at the Earth Dan Realm cannot block. If that Chu whatever dares touch you, I’ll take his wretched life!”

At the thought that he had harmed Long Chen, Lingxi felt indignant.

Long Chen could do little at that.

“Oh well. I can only hope to have some sort of breakthrough during the selection. If not, it’s not quite possible…”

Ever since he had entered the Lingwu Family, Long Chen had raised his status step by step. Never had he experienced fear or terror, but now that he would have to compete against geniuses of the outer faction, he was powerless.

“I won’t be able to take revenge against Chu Yunxi’s attack in the near future.”

Just as he was thinking this, Long Chen was annoyed to find that Liu Lan had come looking for him.

Long Chen had no intentions of seeing her, but she was lingering outside.

“Little Xi, I’m going to see what s.h.i.t she’s going to spout. Don’t get impulsive. She’s very powerful. Once I get stronger, you can attack her. What do you think?”

Before heading out, Long Chen saw Lingxi’s dark expression that hinted at violence, and quickly advised.

“Hmph. Once I regain my strength, she’ll definitely be in for it.”

After opening the door, he found Liu Lan in that black dress that she had worn when she had entered his room for the first time. It presented her curves well, but today, she also had on a black cloak, concealing her charming appearance.

“The inner faction selection is about to start, and you don’t have any trump cards. The Yuanling City’s Daybreak Merchants Union is organising a large-scaled auction today. How about we go take a look?”

Long Chen had planned on sending her away to avoid being unable to hold himself back and responding with violence. However, upon hearing her mention an auction, he hesitated for a moment and decided to go with her.

After getting a cloak from Liu Lan, Long Chen followed behind her and headed towards the outskirts of the Lingwu City.

Amongst cultivators, there were many who had offended others or committed unspeakable sins. They were unwilling to reveal their ident.i.ties, and this was especially so at auctions, where it had almost become an unspoken rule to wear cloaks to partic.i.p.ate.

With this, Long Chen could walk alongside Liu Lan without causing a ruckus.

“These ten days have been very lively. Your love life has already become the topic of everyone’s discussion enjoyed before and after meals.” Long Chen commented.

“Are you complaining or taking pleasure in it?” Liu Lan seemed to smile.

“Are you teasing me?”

Liu Lan did not deny this.

“Just ignore this. Long Chen…” Her brows furrowed slightly, “The danger of the inner faction selection is something you can’t even begin to imagine. Whether you believe it or not, I don’t want you to die.”

“Are you really an old cow trying to eat young gra.s.s*?”(tln: someone who is much older getting together with someone significantly younger)

Being called an old cow multiple times brought Liu Lan closer to the brink of getting violent, no matter how well-mannered she was. However, as she had been in the wrong, it wouldn’t do her good to get mad.

Rolling her eyes, Liu Lan continued, “I can only apologise to you for what happened. Chu Yunxi was even more extreme than I expected. If there’s any opportunity at all, I believe he’ll find a way to kill you regardless of the repercussions.”

“What is that supposed to mean? Schadenfreude?” Long Chen’s voice had turned cold.

“I didn’t mean that.” Liu Lan was anxious, “I’m just telling you that it’s best to exercise restraint this time. You need to keep your life. Besides, you’re a few years younger than Chu Yunxi and only just entered the Lingwu family, It’s not like you won’t have any chances at surpa.s.sing him.”

“Stop it. I won’t hold back when it comes to people I need to kill.”

Long Chen spat out these words and walked ahead.
