177 The Invitation (1/2)

While the whole city was in a festive mood and many people were celebrating the return of Long Zhentian, the pride of Blue Dragon City, Wanxue was having a mental breakdown as she was horrified.

She was shivering and her entire body was drenched in a cold sweat as the people outside were chanting and shouting the name of Long Zhentian as though he was a deity.

At this moment, she was unable to remain calm and even became paralyzed for a long time. Long Zhentian was her worst nightmare. Someone that she never wished to see again in her entire life.

Despite the fact that Long Zhentian had killed her entire family and made her suffer a fate worse than death, Wanxue didn't plan on getting revenge because she knew that it was impossible and would only put her and her daughter in more danger.

Long Zhentian was like a god while she was nothing but a puny mortal with no power. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.

Wanxue only had one thing her mind and that was to take care of her daughter who was her only family and also the reason for her to live.

At the same time, she couldn't believe how unlucky she was. The same day she got cured was also the day that Long Zhentian came back from his trip. It was as if Heaven was playing a joke on her.

As for Little Mei, even though she didn't know anything who that Long Zhentian was, she could clearly tell that her mother was horrified of that name.

”Amitabha. Benefactor, there's no need to be worried or afraid. As long as you are in this temple, you are under the protection of this poor monk and no one can do you any harm.” As Wanxue was lost in horror and fear, Ling Chen's calm voice suddenly rang out in her ears.

And for some reason, Wanxue suddenly became calm and relax. Furthermore, all the worries and fears she originally felt, dissipated, and vanished out of nowhere. It was as if Ling Chen's voice contained some sort of mysterious power that somehow erased all of her negative emotions.

While Wanxue was still in a daze after Ling Chen used his power on her to calm her down, he suddenly walked up to both of them and placed his palms on their foreheads. Before they could have a chance to react or even say anything, they suddenly fall asleep.

”You'll feel better tomorrow when you wake up.” He added with a sigh before he put both of them in bed.

...............

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the people were still talking and celebrating the return of Long Zhentian, the pride of the Blue Dragon City.

Over these past two days, although Wanxue was still worried about Long Zhentian, it wasn't nearly as bad and severe as before.

Even though she didn't know the background of Ling Chen, she had the feeling that he had the power to protect them just like he had promised. Not only that, for some unknown reason, she somehow trusted Ling Chen with her life even though she didn't know much about him.

During these past two days, Ling Chen didn't go anywhere and stayed within his little temple while collecting good merits by helping people.

So far the 7 Fruits Of Creation have grown the size of a watermelon and the life force within them was getting stronger and stronger. From this fact alone, Ling Chen knew that they were close to maturity.

On the next day, while going about his daily routines, an uninvited and unusual guest came to pay him a visit

It was a man known as Long Yi, an elder from the Long Clan. Long Yi was an old looking warrior with white hair and white beard.

However, despite his old age, his life force was extremely strong and vast. From the strength of life force alone, one could tell that elder had a long life ahead of him.

Long Yi wasn't just a regular elder but one of the oldest elders in the Long Clan who had already broken through the 8th Tribulation Martial Saint.
