Chapter 1277: A Moment of Tenderness

Luo God Palace, the back mountains.
Boom! Boom!
The thunderous and violent booms resounded nonstop in the mountains. Dust and smoke lingered in the air, and the earth was shaking.
Two figures were criss crossing each other like electric shocks. Each time they made contact, devastating fluctuations would erupt, like two colliding meteors. As they exchanged blows, the fluctuations that rippled out caused great damage to the mountain range.
Bang!
Another hard collision caused both figures to shoot backward. As their feet landed on the ground, all of the solid rocks on the mountain were reduced into ashes instantly.
”Haha, that was wonderful!” Mu Chen stood firmly and rubbed his slightly red fist.
His handsome face was filled with a joyful smile. The previous head-on collision was indeed delightful and satisfying.
The figure who had appeared in front of Mu Chen was Long Xiang. In contrast to Mu Chen's satisfaction, Long Xiang's eyes were filled with awe and shock.
These past few days, he had become the training assistant due to his strength as a half-step to Complete Earthly Sovereign. As Mu Chen had just reached the Upper Earthly Sovereign, he needed someone to assist him with the adaption of the explosive power. Long Xiang seemed to be the best choice.
Long Xiang, of course, did not reject this request, as he also wanted to test how daunting Mu Chen's combat power was if he were to push it to the maximum. But the results of that test had really shocked him!
In the beginning, Long Xiang felt that the circulation of Mu Chen's power was not smooth. This was probably because Mu Chen had yet to adapt to the Upper Earthly Sovereign's spiritual energy.
At this time, if it was just their pure strengths battling one another, Long Xiang could still gain the upper-hand. However, as time passed, Mu Chen was adapting to the power level of the Upper Earthly Sovereign quickly. Hence, his combat power was surging at an incredible speed.
Just days after that, Long Xiang had discovered that he could no longer gain any advantage over Mu Chen when they wrestled using only their pure physical strengths.
Long Xiang was horrified by this. After all, he was already a half-step to Complete Earthly Sovereign, and the art that he had cultivated was skewed towards physical strength, too.
As such, Long Xiang was not a weak opponent as compared to the other Sovereigns at the same level. Yet, he had been pushed to the state whereby he could gain no upper hand over Mu Chen, who was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. This, of course, shocked him to no end!
At the same time, Mu Chen had yet to display his other means. This was the most important matter. Long Xiang had a feeling that, if Mu Chen used all of his means on him, he would definitely be able to conquer Long Xiang.
”The Little Lord is really unpredictable. I'm impressed.” Long Xiang sang Mu Chen's praises.
Long Xiang could not help but be impressed, as Mu Chen had reached this stage with just the strength of an Upper Earthly Sovereign. Long Xiang looked at Mu Chen's young and handsome face.
As he did so, he felt more confident about Mu Chen. He thought that, given Mu Chen's ability, he might actually be able to rescue Ling Xi from the Spiritual Jade Island.
Mu Chen smiled casually in the face of Long Xiang's flattering exclamation. He had been able to tie with Long Xiang in the physical strength battle, not only because he had a similarly strong physical body, but most importantly, because he had the spirits of the real dragon and real phoenix.
Mu Chen estimated that, even without using his spiritual energy, he could still win against the rest of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns with his physical strength alone. Also, if he was to meet a half-step to Complete Earthly Sovereign like Long Xiang, he could still win.
As he was having all these thoughts, Mu Chen suddenly lifted his head. On a hill that was not too far away, a pretty figure was standing and looking over with her beautiful eyes.
”Little Lord, I'll take my leave first.” Upon seeing Luo Li's arrival, Long Xiang gave a smile.
Mu Chen nodded. ”We will leave for Spiritual Jade Island in three days.”
”Yes!” Long Xiang answered respectfully, then walked away.
Mu Chen watched him as he left. Soon, his figured appeared before Luo Li.
Luo Li seemed to have just ended a meeting in the Luo God Clan, as she was still dressed in her gorgeous, long purple gown, which was noble yet elegant. Her slender waist, paired with the close-fitting dress, showcased her busty and seductive curves.
No one could take their eyes off of her exquisite features. As the gentle breeze blew, her long hair gently swayed to and fro. Luo Li's ravishing beauty took Mu Chen's breath away.
As Mu Chen looked at the girl in front of him, a gentle smile surfaced on his face. Even his stiff body could not help but relax in front of her.
With her around, he could always put down all of his responsibilities and enjoy a rare moment of peace. But, the passion in his eyes intensified as he stared at Luo Li.
Upon meeting his passionate gaze, a blush climbed onto Luo Li's pretty face. She threw him a stare, and just when she was about to say something, Mu Chen lurched forward.
As his manly breath came directly at her, Luo Li's natural reaction was to take a step back. But, she stopped herself subsequently, as a strong arm held her thin waist. Then, with one tug from Mu Chen, she fell into his arms.
Sensing her warm body in his arms, he looked at her blushing cheeks and saw the shyness in her eyes. Mu Chen could not suppress his emotions, and he lowered his head down and kissed her soft and tender red lips.
Luo Li tensed up immediately. But soon, her stiffness was replaced by a passionate response to Mu Chen.
