Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

Chapter 854


Chapter 854: 854

Within a verdant little valley in a mountain range, there was a brook of fresh water . Perhaps it was this brook that gave the valley its life .

Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were sitting on a boulder beside the brook . The fresh water streamed past their feet, and the babble of the water refreshed their minds, allowing them to feel a rare moment of tranquility on the Immemorial Path .

Yue Xiaoqian stuck her hands into the water, feeling the water stream past her fingers . There were actually some nameless little fish swimming by their feet, causing her to laugh .

Long Chen was sitting beside her, smelling her fragrance, and listening to her fairy-like laughter . He could rarely relax like this . Looking at her beautiful figure, Long Chen unconsciously became stupefied .

“Long Chen, why don’t you take off your shoes and put your feet in the water? It feels really nice,” said Yue Xiaoqian . Seeing him just staring at her, she blushed .

“Me? Ah, no . In truth, I’m just too kindhearted,” said Long Chen after a moment’s hesitation . Although it would be a fortuitous thing to bathe his feet with Yue Xiaoqian, he shook his head .

“What does kindness have to do with it? Am I being evil by doing this?”

“No, no . What I mean is that if I put my feet in, all those fish will die from the smell . Then I would be evil!”

Yue Xiaoqian laughed . “Dislikable . How could it be that exaggerated?”

On the other hand, Long Chen was confident in his feet . Even if the fish wouldn’t die from the smell, they would definitely faint .

The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art focused on physical strength; thus, the amount of sweat he worked up was naturally great . Since entering the Immemorial Path, Long Chen hadn’t washed his feet . Once he took off his shoes, that smell might even make himself faint .

“Last time, why did you leave without saying goodbye?” asked Long Chen .

“Sorry…” Yue Xiaoqian’s expression became a bit unnatural . Although she was still veiled, he could sense that .

“There’s no need to apologize . It’s just that when you left without saying goodbye, I thought I’d never see you again . I felt… uncomfortable,” sighed Long Chen . Her sudden departure truly had made him feel dejected last time .

The world was so huge, and there were countless dangers . Sometimes a single goodbye could last forever . Every time he thought of that, Long Chen would feel unwell .

“I… have my own secret sorrows,” said Yue Xiaoqian quietly . Her veil was becoming wet .

Long Chen summoned the courage to take off her veil, revealing her flawless face . Although he had seen it before, seeing it again still made his heart pound . That beauty could truly infatuate a person .

He took out a clean cloth and gently dabbed away her tears . “You’re worried about implicating me?”

Yue Xiaoqian was moved but also sorry . She took the cloth and wiped her own tears . “I’m from a different world than you . My people are enemies of the entire Martial Heaven Continent, so I can’t have dealings with you . That would implicate you . But you fool, you actually helped Xiao Die when you already knew my identity . I…” Yue Xiaoqian continued to cry .

Her status was special . She wasn’t accepted by the world . Anyone who dared to make contact with her would be mercilessly killed .

While cultivating the Heavenly Devil Heart Grand Technique, she had received a backlash, harming her soul . She had needed a precious medicine called the Heavenly Netherworld Soul Replenishing Roots to heal . When Long Chen had learned that, he had refined a Heavenly Star Soul Replenishing Pill for her . Once she had taken it, she had immediately recovered .

Furthermore, Long Chen had also sent her a pile of Bloodfiend Sea Expansion Pills . Those were the best pills for those advancing from Xiantian to Sea Expansion .

Although the human race had a great deal of those pills, this action of his still made her endlessly grateful . If the outside world learned of Long Chen’s actions, he would be hunted down by the entire world, labeled a traitor to the human race . By sending her those pills, he had essentially been handing his life to her .

Never in her dreams would she imagine someone she had only met once would treat her so well . So facing him now, she felt both emotional and ashamed .

“No matter how you put it, we are battle companions that fought through life and death together . If I could just watch as you suffered, I wouldn’t be Long Chen . ” Long Chen smiled .

“Thank you . ” Yue Xiaoqian smiled through her tears . That was another kind of beauty, like a peach blossom after a rainfall .

“Xiaoqian, I think you should put your veil back on,” said Long Chen suddenly with a bitter smile .

“What, do you not like looking at me?” Yue Xiaoqian was surprised and a bit disappointed, but she still put her veil back on .

“No, I like looking at it . But my heart can’t bear it . If you don’t believe me, just feel!” Long Chen pulled Yue Xiaoqian’s hand and placed it over his heart . Currently, it was pounding wildly .

“You’re doing that on purpose . ” Yue Xiaoqian blushed and turned away . But she could still feel his powerful heartbeat .

“In all honesty, I didn’t do it on purpose,” said Long Chen . Yue Xiaoqian’s charm was just so strong that it was fatal . Otherwise, Long Chen wouldn’t ask her to veil herself again . A feast for the eyes was also a delight .

“Fine, whether it was on purpose or not, I like it either way!” Yue Xiaoqian smiled . Her hands were lightly twisting the corner of her robes in a bashful manner . She could tell that this was Long Chen’s strange way of praising her beauty . She suddenly brazenly grabbed his hand but had a nervous light in her eyes . “How have you been since we parted?”

Long Chen was an old fox in this manner . He knew Yue Xiaoqian wanted to get closer but was also embarrassed . He quickly held her hand and said, “I’ve been very well . All I do is fight and kill, and then kill and fight . ”

Long Chen gave her a simple narration of what he had experienced, starting from the battle in the Jiuli secret realm . But he found that she was extremely curious about the world, and she made him explain things in greater detail . As a result, this simple narration took a whole day .

“Long Chen, you’re a good person . It’s no wonder that many big sisters like you,” said Yue Xiaoqian with a complicated expression .

“How about you stay with us? It’ll be livelier with more people,” said Long Chen . He felt a bit guilty, as these words were clearly used to seduce people .

But seeing that Yue Xiaoqian didn’t reply, he immediately became awkward . He had ruined the good atmosphere with a single sentence .

“Ah, Xiaoqian, how about I give you a gift!” Long Chen suddenly took out an egg .

“An Earth Dragon’s egg?” Yue Xiaoqian was startled .

Long Chen was also startled . But now that he thought about it, he had already experienced Yue Xiaoqian’s vast knowledge . She knew the heavens, she knew the earth, and she knew everything in between .

“Yes, it really is an Earth Dragon’s egg . It’s yours now . In the future, you’ll have a powerful housepet . I hope you won’t decline, as that will make me feel bad,” said Long Chen .

Yue Xiaoqian looked at Long Chen and suddenly hugged him, surprising him . It seemed this happiness had come too suddenly? If he had known this would happen, he would have given it to her as soon as he saw her .

“Bastard, you evil person, I know you’re seducing me!” Yue Xiaoqian cried into Long Chen’s embrace .

Long Chen’s excitement vanished . The hand he had been about to embrace her with turned rigid . He didn’t know whether he should embrace her or pull it back . How did his pick-up arts fail? It was over for him; he had been seen through . As expected, routines couldn’t be depended on . He couldn’t help but feel regret .

“But although I clearly know that, I can’t refuse it . So you’re a bastard!” Yue Xiaoqian held on tightly, her tears drenching his robes .

Long Chen didn’t know what to do . His pick-up arts had been seen through . This was his first time running into such a situation . He suddenly recalled that Yue Xiaoqian seemed to have a kind of mind-reading ability .

Thinking of that, he felt a cold breeze on his back . Failure, failure, absolute failure . Now that this routine had failed, it was awkward .

Yue Xiaoqian cried for a while before slowly leaving Long Chen’s embrace . Looking at him, she cried, “I’m afraid!”

“Afraid of what?”

“I’m afraid to bring you disaster . I’m afraid you’ll be killed because of me . I don’t fear death, but I am afraid of seeing you die,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

“I’m not afraid of dying . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“That is not the worst outcome . The most terrifying one is that you will live, but you will hate me . That would make my life worse than death,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

“Why would I ever hate you?”

“If one day my status is exposed, you’ll be hunted down by the entire world . If your companions are all killed one by one, you’ll hate me . You’ll hate me for causing their deaths . You might even kill me in your hatred…” Yue Xiaoqian once more began crying .

Her words caused Long Chen’s heart to quiver . That really was a big problem . He still didn’t possess the power to fight the entire world .

“Xiaoqian, don’t cry . Let’s talk about our future!” Long Chen gently sat her up properly .
