A beautiful woman walked out gracefully with enchanting charm. But her gem-like eyes contained a repelling iciness, and her voice was haughty.
Following her was a group of women, and all of them were beautiful as well.
âAnother person difficult to deal with.â Long Chen narrowed his eyes.
âWhy would you have to deal with her?â Tang Wan-er glared at him.
Long Chen rolled his eyes. She really didnât know how to have a proper conversation.
âHer Heavenly Dao energy fluctuates around her, and not the slightest bit of her aura is leaking. That means her control has reached an extremely terrifying realm. Furthermore, that natural light in her eyes, itâs clearly a sign of dense Spirit Blood. She is extremely powerful,â said Long Chen.
Whether it was the tall Hu Guishan or the iron pagoda-like man, they didnât say anything further. They were clearly familiar with her, and it seemed that they were afraid of her.
âAny woman with talent and looks can become one of my subordinates,â she said.
The women amongst the four regionsâ disciples were delighted to hear that and rushed over to her side. Compared to the men, the women were truly a bit weaker. Now that someone specifically wanted them, they rushed over.
âBrother Long, what do you think? Should I go rely on this big sister?â Zhao Ziyan walked over and quietly whispered to him.
Zhao Ziyan was clearly probing his attitude toward her again. Long Chen could only thicken his face and say, âThis woman is a phoenix amongst mortals. If you follow her, youâll definitely learn many things that will be of great value to your future. Choosing her would be the wisest decision for you.â He said it with a smile, but he felt that his smile was very fake.
âOh, many thanks for your pointers, brother Long. Thatâs what I was thinking too. Take care.â Zhao Ziyan smiled slightly, but a trace of disappointment could be seen in her eyes.
Watching Zhao Ziyanâs departing figure, Long Chen felt a few complicated emotions. Tang Wan-er lightly pushed him, saying, âFool, this sister is a good person, and sheâs talented with a high cultivation base. She clearly wants to join the Dragonblood Legion, so why would you refuse her?â
âItâs naturally because I love you too much and worry about you being jealous.â
âDislikable. I refuse to believe you.â However, she still blushed. She was very satisfied with this reply.
âLong Chen, although Iâm a bit petty, Iâm not someone who canât see the big picture, nor am I a violent shrew who gets jealous and complains,â said Tang Wan-er warmly, holding Long Chenâs hand.
âReally? How come I canât tell that?â said Long Chen.
âBastard, do you believe me when I say Iâll bite you to death?!â Tang Wan-erâs warmth instantly vanished without a trace. She glared at him, looking like she might pounce and take a bite out of him.â
âYes, this I definitely believe.â Long Chen nodded obediently.
âYou bastard, you refuse to listen when people talk to you normally. Instead, I have to beat you fiercely for you to behave!â
âFine, lady Wan-er, if you have anything to say at all, this little one will carefully listen,â said Long Chen, putting on a humble expression.
âBe serious. This is important.â Tang Wan-er hit him lightly before saying, âSister Meng Qi said that I canât be petty with you over big matters, as that will influence your plans and affect the entire Dragonblood Legion. As the soul of the Dragonblood Legion, the burden on your shoulders is incredibly heavy, and each of your decisions could decide our lives and deaths. So sister Meng Qi said I can scuffle and quarrel with you, but at critical times, I have to express my support, even if youâre going around picking up girls.â
Long Chen was dumbfounded to hear this. But looking at her aggrieved expression, he felt a burst of emotion. She was the most jealous of girls, but for Long Chen, she would force herself not to be jealous.
âSister Wan-er, are you encouraging boss to pursue Zhao Ziyan? How magnanimous! Boss, what are you waiting for? The beauty is right there beckoning to you. Although whether or not you pursue her has nothing to do with us, itâs easy on the eyes,â said Guo Ran expectantly.
âI really will slap you if you spout more nonsense!â raged Long Chen. From morning to night, this brat didnât think about any proper things. He didnât even understand what heat control was.
âLong Chen, Zhao Ziyan is talented with unlimited potential. If she joins the Dragonblood Legion, it will strengthen the entire legion. The danger to each one of us will lessen a bit. I donât want you to make the wrong decision because youâre worried about meâŠâ said Tang Wan-er, her voice slightly choked with sobs.
Long Chen held her hand, his heart filled with emotions. A personâs character didnât change. For Tang Wan-er to be able to say such words meant she really wasnât an obstinate girl.
Women naturally didnât like sharing the person they loved with others. And if the roles were reversed and Tang Wan-er wanted another man, Long Chen definitely wouldnât be able to accept that.
His refusal of Zhao Ziyan made her grateful, but she was also worried. She was worried about whether the growth of the Dragonblood Legion would be held back because of her. If someone from the Dragonblood Legion fell, she would feel guilty, and she was worried Long Chen would hate her for that irreplaceable loss.
She wasnât afraid of death, but she was afraid Long Chen would hate her. That was the thing she was most terrified of. So although she clearly didnât like Long Chen accepting other women, she still expressed this attitude.
âFoolish girl, when did I ever need to seduce women to strengthen my group? The hot-blooded brothers I have are enough to dominate the Central Plains!â Long Chen gently wiped away Tang Wan-erâs tears.
âExactly, sister Wan-er, youâre worried over nothing. With us brothers together, what canât we do? However, getting back to that point, if there really was a beautiful woman who wanted to join, it wouldnât be a bad thing- aiya!â Guo Ran was kicked away by Long Chen.
âThe only thing you remember is beatings,â laughed Tang Wan-er.
âIâm talking seriously! That Zhao Ziyanâs talent is so good, and sheâs not bad as a person. Why not pull her in?â demanded Guo Ran, unconvinced.
Long Chen shook his head. âPeople canât be too selfish. She isnât someone that walks the same path as us. Why pull her in and ruin her life? We walk a path of thorns and bones, and our hands are dyed in blood. Our path isnât suitable for just anyone.
âWhether itâs Meng Qi, Wan-er, Zhiqiu, or Chu Yao, they all donât like fighting. Itâs the opposite; they loathe it. But you all raise the butcherâs blade because of me. I understand all your pain, and I owe you all too much. Why owe others as well?â
âLong ChenâŠâ Tang Wan-erâs eyes reddened. âWhen you talk like a normal person, you make me happy.â
Long Chen rolled his eyes. She was getting less and less good at talking. The good atmosphere vanished with just a sentence.
As they were talking, the disciples from the Central Plains split up, forming factions.
There was a man with a mustache and light beard that startled Long Chen. A strange fluctuation came from him that caused Huo Long to grow restless.
It was like the Earth Flame had been provoked. It began to automatically release its pressure. Long Chen looked at that man, and he looked back at him. He had also sensed Long Chenâs existence.
That man was a bit startled, but he quickly became calm. With a cold snort, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes. Perhaps he had just gained a terrifying opponent. This man also had an Earth Flame within him, and one that was extremely powerful at that.
âHe should be a flame cultivator.â Long Chen was startled. This personâs body contained a terrifying Earth Flame, one that was even stronger than Huo Long. Furthermore, he sensed that his flame energy possessed no trace of wood spiritual energy. In other words, he was no alchemist, but a pure flame cultivator.
Alchemists didnât just need flame energy, but also a trace of wood spiritual energy. Only then could they refine pills.
Without that trace of wood spiritual energy, there was no way for them to control a Pill Flame precisely enough to form pills. That was why a flame cultivatorâs flame wasnât called a Pill Flame. Their flames specialized in offense and destruction. They were berserk and powerful, and normally, flame cultivators were the ones hardest to get along with, as their tempers were too explosive.
Long Chen also noticed that the Earth Flame in that personâs body had sensed Huo Long and had formed a clear hostility toward it.
This kind of hostility was only natural between Earth Flames, because they relied on devouring each other to increase their own power. Long Chen didnât know if the hostility he sensed was from the Earth Flame or the man himself.
Other than that terrifying flame cultivator, the other person to draw his attention was a gloomy-faced man.
There was no sign of his cultivation base or his Heavenly Dao runes. He seemed like an ordinary person, but Long Chen sensed an extremely dangerous feeling from him.
âHeâs a soul cultivator.â Long Chen finally decided that he was likely a soul cultivator. But according to reason, a soul cultivator shouldnât be able to give him such an intense feeling of danger.
Just as Long Chen was sensing these terrifying figures, he suddenly noticed a shift behind him. Turning around, he saw that the beautiful, icy woman had walked over to him.
