Chapter 424 Chasm (1/2)

Chapter 424 - Divide

Long Chen had successfully reached the ninth level of the Milky Way Realm and was originally filled with confidence. But suddenly, he heard Ling Xi's sorrowful expression and he stared blankly for a good while before looking at Ling Xi with a solemn expression without saying a single word.

Ling Xi had already sensed something was amiss long ago, but he was only worried about his safety so she did not want Ling Xi to s.n.a.t.c.h the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit away from him. She was already fully equipped with the strength to fight the Sword Emperor, so why did Ling Xi suddenly say such words?

”Xiao Xi, what thoughts do you have? Just tell me.” He sat down on a clean patch of gra.s.s and waved his hand towards Ling Xi. Ling Xi pursed her lips, flew onto the back of his hand, and then, gently bent her legs as she sat down. At the start, she was a little timid, but when she looked at the expression in Long Chen's eyes, she finally forced herself to say it.

”Brother Chen, what I suddenly said wasn't because I was causing trouble for no reason, but because there was a reason. Before this, I didn't dare to say it out loud because I was afraid, afraid that you would blame me for feeling really uncomfortable.” Ling Xi looked at Long Chen and said, his voice actually choked with emotions.

”Idiot, don't be like this. Just tell me what you want. Don't you believe me? From the start till now, how can I blame you? ” Although Long Chen was not sure what Ling Xi would say, he was very calm.

Only then did Ling Xi begin to explain everything.

”When I first met you, I never thought that this day would come. It made me feel as if you and I are inextricably linked. So, when you said that you would help me find the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit, I would agree. At that time, I thought, if you are nice to me, I don't mind being nice to you. If I really can return to my original state, I don't mind giving you some benefits and saying goodbye. Just think of you as a kind pa.s.serby in my life. ”

When she said till here, Ling Xi was already sobbing uncontrollably. Although she did not cry, Long Chen knew that she was crying in her heart.

”Why are you telling me this?” In Long Chen's heart, he already had a bad premonition.

Ling Xi shook her head and said helplessly: ”Brother Chen, you don't understand the power behind me, it is a place that you cannot imagine. The reason why I don't want you to obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit today, is because I simply cannot leave you.

As a girl, Ling Xi looked at Long Chen with teary eyes. He did not show any signs of cowardice and directly said such words.

From this, it could be seen how strong the emotions in her heart were.

They had experienced too much along the way. Life and death, life and death. If they did not have the help and support from each other, it would have been difficult for them to make it this far.

”Why are we separated the moment we obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit? Xi Er, are you saying that the power behind you will become a hindrance for us? ” Long Chen had also thought of this question before. However, even if Ling Xi had recovered, she didn't need to immediately return to her home. Long Chen had always thought that he would have a lot of time to grow, and then obtain the recognition of the powers behind Ling Xi.

Long Chen's heart thumped.

Ling Xi could only shake her head in pain, as her eyes filled with regret: ”There is one thing that I have been hiding from you. Brother Chen, what you do not know is that the power behind me is enormous, my father and mother are both n.o.ble and respected experts.

”I've already thought of that before. However, Lil 'Xi, don't we still have time?” Long Chen asked quickly.

”No, we don't have time, when my body recovers, the power that I once had will return to my body. The power that I possess is very symbolic, the people in my clan probably found the Realm of Myriad Kingdoms long ago because they were looking for me. That is to say, if I recover, it is very likely that my family will discover my existence and appear in the Brother Chen later on. I am sorry, I did not tell you about this right from the start.”

When Ling Xi said till here, Long Chen was like a bolt out of the blue. No wonder Ling Xi had said that she only wanted him and not the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit.
