chapter 2546 impending crisis
long chen shook his head. “now is not the time. the majority of everyone’s armor has been badly damaged and is no longer suitable for battle. as for ye ming, we have no idea where he is. within the vast star field divine world, it’s no different from searching for a needle in an ocean. it’s a waste of time. ye ming now only has himself to look after, so he’s not afraid of any consequences and can sneak attack us at any time. right now, we want to prevent him from feeling cornered, rather than forcing him to do something that we’ll all regret.”
meng qi nodded. “long chen is right. ye ming is most dangerous now that he has nothing holding him back. with the corrupt path’s viciousness, he’s definitely thinking of every possible way to kill us. his target isn’t just long chen but all our allies. we can’t give him that chance.”
after saying that, she saw long chen with a light smile. hence, she blushed slightly and demanded, “why are you looking at me like that? did i say something wrong?”
long chen’s smile widened. “as expected of my trusted wife, you even plan strategies for us.”
meng qi turned even redder. long chen was actually teasing her in front of everyone. she was so bashful that she couldn’t say anything.
“if you dare to tease big sister chu yao like this, i’ll definitely attack you,” said liu ruyan with extreme hostility.
long chen looked her up and down and shook his head. “you’re still looking for a reason to avenge the grudge from back then? i say, why are you so petty?”
“women are petty. did you not know that?” liu ruyan snorted indifferently. this grudge had always been kept in the back of her mind.
“i don’t know what power you’ve awakened, but no matter how strong you get, i can still suppress you,” said long chen a bit irritably. it seemed that after getting stronger, her arrogance had also gone a bit out of control. to challenge him in front of the entire dragonblood legion was definitely a provocation.
“alright, if you were wrong, then you were wrong. apologize to ruyan,” interjected chu yao.
“i was wrong?” long chen pointed at his nose in disbelief. when did chu yao become this unreasonable as well? was this the same chu yao that he knew?
“yes, you were wrong.” chu yao giggled.
“then tell me, how was i wrong?” demanded long chen.
chu yao’s eyes crinkled with a crafty light, and she began to raise her fingers. “first, as a man, you quibbled with a woman. second, as a leader, you stooped to the level of your subordinates to argue. third, as a mighty hero who has beaten countless enemies, you decided to fight against someone like liu ruyan, who has been alone her entire life. she is like a child. you, someone who stands at the peak of the world, are essentially arguing with a child. are you not embarrassed to do such a thing? tell me, don’t you think that this is wrong?”
“i...” long chen stared at her for a long time, unable to come up with a way to retort. his dumbfounded appearance elicited laughter from meng qi and the others.
long chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “fine, i was wrong.”
now long chen understood why people said not to argue with women. the moment he tried, he lost. there was simply no way to talk reasonably with women. to try was very foolish.
therefore, long chen was no longer planning on working with the long family. he could no longer see any hope in that and would rather face the invading races with his brothers. even if they all died on the battlefield, he wouldn’t wish to leave his fate to others.
during the next few days, long chen had everyone who had reached the full circle of netherpassage rest and relax.
they could play, dance, sing, eat, drink, and even sleep. as a bonus, the luo spirit race’s warriors were all friendly with them. these days of peace were hard to imagine for the martial heaven continent’s cultivators.
no matter how carefree a cultivator was, they carried a mission from the day they were born. their burden was to continue their family or sect’s inheritance and bring forth future generations.
there was nothing easy about living in the world. easiness was faked for others to see, and the true bitterness was known only to the self.
however, here, under the mother tree, the luo spirit race’s warriors were all pure-hearted and simple. they had no schemes. their warm emotions affected everyone from the martial heaven continent.
long chen and the others fell in love with this place, with some people wishing that they could stay here forever.
however, that was just a dream; it was impossible. they were not from this world, so once the door to the martial heaven continent closed, they would be automatically transported back.
calculating the time, they still had three months, and this remaining time was precious to them.
they even began to compete in archery and shoot at flying leaves. after just a bit, the mother tree had become their paradise. that peace was exceptionally moving.
“why aren’t you playing with everyone?”
long chen carried a gourd of wine and plopped his butt down beside ye lingshan, handing over a barbequed meat skewer.
ye lingshan smiled slightly and thanked him. she then took a bite. after that, long chen handed over a wine cup to her, but she reddened and shook her head. “i don’t drink wine.”
“do you not drink wine, or do you not drink my leftover wine?” asked long chen.
ye lingshan was embarrassed. although she wasn’t obsessed with cleanliness, she didn’t want to drink from the gourd that long chen was drinking out of.
as for long chen, he was sharp, and had both noticed and directly exposed it. after that, ye lingshan glared at him.
“actually, i liked the skewer i just gave you. that’s just a habit, i like first sucking away the oil before eating it...”
“long chen, i’ll kill you!” ye lingshan shot up furiously. although she didn’t know if he was just joking or not, her stomach heaved. she then tossed the meat aside and reached out to grab long chen’s neck.
