Chapter 527: To embrace Caiâer (II)
But at this very time, she actually threw herself in the embrace of this knight . Could his charm be irresistible even to the Saint Daughter of Samsara? This just couldnât be!
But these elders had many years of extensive experience and clearly saw Sheng Yueâs shocked expression change into a gratified smile . Since the head found that normal, then it could only be so . So they might as well stop thinking further on the issue . Since the other party gave such a great help to the Assassin Temple, they couldnât go up to retrieve Caiâer .
The Golden Foundation Armor didnât block the sensation of Caiâerâs soft embrace . Unlike when activating the previous forbidden spell or even assisting Sheng Yue in killing Allocer, the Saint Knight Headâs hands trembled violently .
âCaiâer, Caiâer!â Long Haochen gently called out her name, his voice still shaking . His emotions became so unstable that the orange glints on his armor started to undulate irregularly .
Cough, coughâŚÂ Sheng Yue coughed, âSaint Knight Head, you have just used a forbidden spell . Maybe you should take a rest in our Assassin Temple . â This was a reminder for this couple of youngsters that this was the Exorcist Mountain Passâ City, center of a large crowdâs attention .
Actually, the most shocked spectator was situated on the second layer of the Exorcist Mountain Pass . Sheng Lingxinâs eyes opened so wide they nearly split . Seeing his daughter rush into a manâs arms, he almost fell from the second layer .
He absolutely didnât believe that person to be Long Haochen . In his heart, Long Haochen was already his son-in-law . But he subconsciously believed that a Golden Foundation Knight would at the very least be fifty years old . What was wrong with Caiâer? Could she have fallen for the hero?
But as the military chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, what else could he do than stare at that? By chance, Caiâerâs mother Lan Yanyu was still resting at home due to some injuries, or both husband and wife would be witness to such an embarrassment . . .
Sheng Lingxin secretly thought: Caiâer, oh Caiâer⌠You canât have a change of affection like that! Otherwise, how do you want me to justify myself to Brother Long, to Haochen? But seeing such a strong Provisional Saint Knight Head, how come he hadnât heard of him before?
Did Caiâer and Long Haochen separate after hearing Sheng Yueâs warning? The answer was negative, and Sheng Yue and the other heroic assassins did not know whether to laugh or cry from what followed, seeing Caiâerâs body disappear .
Invisibility! That powerful assassin ability was being used to further the affection between a man and a woman . . .
Caiâerâs body seemed to have faded away, but the tactile sensation was still present . Long Haochen was unwilling to part with her and kept embracing her, under the escort of the heroic assassins . And under the fanatical watch of the soldiers, Long Haochen rode Star King to head down toward Exorcist City .
âSo itâs really you, brat . â When Sheng Yue saw Long Haochen after his helmet was taken off, he still had difficulty believing his eyes .
This private room was used in ordinary times for Sheng Yue to cultivate, so naturally, no one else would come here to disturb them . After their return to the Assassin Temple . Sheng Yue had directly brought Long Haochen and Caiâer back to this personal room of his .
Now, Caiâer was still clinging to Long Haochenâs side . After a year and a half of separation, she had become incomparably unable to part with him . Although she still was missing her memories, she had already regained her feelings for him .
Long Haochen wanted to kneel down to make his own salutations to Sheng Yue . In his capacity as Caiâerâs lover, Haochen needed to pay homage to Sheng Yue and her elder relatives . Outside, he was representing the Knight Temple, but in this private room, he was only standing for himself .
âEnough, you are already Saint Knight Head, no need for such formalities .
âHow did you cultivate to this level? It canât be that Yang Haohan and Long Tianying gave you some cultivation drugs with bad repercussions, but how else could you have cultivated so fast?â
At the sight of Long Haochen, even the severe Sheng Yue couldnât help but exclaim violently in admiration . That youngster was still below twenty, but already became a real knight of the eighth step . No wonder the Demon God Emperor would use him as an excuse to trigger this Holy War . Even if he didnât have the ability of destroying demon god pillars, his speed of growth would unavoidably make him a cornerstone of the future resistance against demons .
Long Haochen replied respectfully, âGreat-grandfather, I have been in deep cultivation for a long period of time, then spent half a year to cultivate techniques . â
Sheng Yue gave Caiâer a helpless look, âIt looks like you are still no match for him . He seems much more hardworking than you . The boredom of deep cultivation isnât something just anyone can bear . Youngster, you canât have been deep cultivating for a year non-stop, haha?â
This heroic senior then started to laugh at his own joke, before stopping suddenly after seeing Long Haochen nod earnestly .
âWhat? So you really went deep cultivating for a year? You . . . â Sheng Yueâs wrinkles were twitching, âLet it be, you two have a good chat . I wonât bother you two any longer . â He waved his hands and stepped across, disappearing directly from the room .
Caiâer let out a laugh, âGreat-grandfather, youâre so jealous . â
At the sight of the smile on her face, Long Haochenâs eyes flashed with a faint trace of disappointment . He knew Caiâer just too well, and right for that reason, he determined from her facial expression that her memories werenât recovered at all, and that Caiâer was still amnesic .
Caiâer immediately discovered his change in mood, and lowered her head slightly, âI am sorry, I just . . . â
She was not left the time to finish the sentence, interrupted by a sudden hug by Long Haochen, who interrupted with a gentle tone of voice, âNo, I should be the sorry one . I did not protect you well . No matter what, seeing you again is really good . â
Caiâer drew herself closely towards him, with a soft voice, âI donât know what my feelings were when I used to love you before that, but I am certain that I am still in love with you . That day, when you left, I felt like I had lost something important . Now that we finally reunited, I will go wherever you go . I will definitely convince great-grandfather, I donât want to have to look at your departing figure again . â
Long Haochen fondled her hair gently, âBe at ease . This time, I am not only taking you with me, but we will also gather with the others, to reform our 64th commander-grade Demon Hunt Squad . â
Caiâer lifted up her head, surprised, âYou have the permission of the Alliance?â
âI would say I have it . However, we will have to make enough contributions in every defensive fort . I think it should be enough for the Exorcist Mountain Pass . If not, we will have to remain for longer .
âIt is surely not enough . â Right at this time, shadows flashed , and Sheng Yue reappeared .
Seeing him, Caiâer hurriedly let go of her embrace, and looked flushed, âGreat-grandfather, how come you are back?â The instant they had just reunited was long past, so how could she not feel embarrassed?
Sheng Yue looked furious, âWhatâs wrong if I am back!? When I just left, I was thinking, what if after letting the two of you share a room, and meet again after a long time of separation, something were to happen due to the excitement? Whatâs wrong with me wanting to be the first to hold my great-great-grandson? But this wonât do . Sheng Yueâs great-granddaughter needs to be officially wed before bearing a child . â
âGreat-grandfather, what are you speaking about?â Caiâerâs face became red like an apple, and appeared at Sheng Yueâs side with a flash, grabbing on his beard to pull it .
âBe a good girl, donât pull, I only have this much beard . Your great-grandfather needs to keep some of his image in front of others . Fool, I am doing this for your good! Arenât you afraid of being taken advantage of?â
This time, Long Haochen was astonished . Apart from himself, this was the first time he saw Caiâer so close to someone else . Although that was her own great-grandfather, he still clearly remembered about her repulsion toward him before her loss of memories .
Seeing that mark of affection between the two relatives, Long Haochen suddenly realized that he had been just too selfish . Wasnât the current Caiâer very good as is? At least, she wasnât as closed as before and a lot more affectionate .
Then he couldnât help but display a knowing smile . Â Right! If I love her, I should think for her well-being, and not only think of myself .
Because the barrier formed by Caiâerâs amnesia finally started to melt inside him, he kept standing silently with a large smile .
âBrat, what are you smiling about? Let me tell you that youâd better not think of leaving before you stay for three months . I have already received the letter from that fellow Long Tianying . You cannot think of going back before amassing a million contribution points . Let me record your current count of contribution points . â
At the sight of Sheng Yueâs astute look, Long Haochen immediately showed a pained face, âGreat-Grandfather, you canât be serious! Three months is too long . â
Sheng Yue snorted, âLong? I think that it is rather short . If you can get a million contribution points in three months time, I will recognize your ability . â
Long Haochen became helpless, âBut, Great-Grandpa, you are being unfair . You have promised to give me your help . Was there any sincerity in your words?â
Sheng Yue seemed full of complacency, âRight, I gave you my promise . But do you plan on using this promise on such a thing? Donât think I donât know what Long Tianying and Yang Haohan are planning . If you use the promise now, you wonât be able to use it again . Give it some good thought . â
âI . . . â Long Haochen cursed silently, but was helpless in such a situation .
Sheng Yue snorted, âDo you want to describe me as cunning?â
Long Haochen shook his head with a forced smiled, âHow would I dare!? You are an elder, and all I want to say is that I trust your experience . You are really strong . But even if I donât use the promise, you cannot be shameless on the contribution points you owe me . Today, no matter what you may say, I could be considered to have earned half of the contribution for Allocerâs kill . The Blazing Lion Demon God is at the ninth step and should be worth at least 500,000 contribution points, or even more . I want to claim half of it . Also, putting the corpse aside, the Blazing Lion Demon Godâs Demon God Crown should be worth over 300,000 points . If I am not mistaken, a bit ago you wanted to send it to me . â
