Chapter 424 - DivideLong Chen had successfully reached the ninth level of the Milky Way Realm and was originally filled with confidence. But suddenly, he heard Ling Xi"s sorrowful expression and he stared blankly for a good while before looking at Ling Xi with a solemn expression without saying a single word.
Ling Xi had already sensed something was amiss long ago, but he was only worried about his safety so she did not want Ling Xi to s.n.a.t.c.h the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit away from him. She was already fully equipped with the strength to fight the Sword Emperor, so why did Ling Xi suddenly say such words?
"Xiao Xi, what thoughts do you have? Just tell me." He sat down on a clean patch of gra.s.s and waved his hand towards Ling Xi. Ling Xi pursed her lips, flew onto the back of his hand, and then, gently bent her legs as she sat down. At the start, she was a little timid, but when she looked at the expression in Long Chen"s eyes, she finally forced herself to say it."Brother Chen, what I suddenly said wasn"t because I was causing trouble for no reason, but because there was a reason. Before this, I didn"t dare to say it out loud because I was afraid, afraid that you would blame me for feeling really uncomfortable." Ling Xi looked at Long Chen and said, his voice actually choked with emotions.
"Idiot, don"t be like this. Just tell me what you want. Don"t you believe me? From the start till now, how can I blame you? " Although Long Chen was not sure what Ling Xi would say, he was very calm.
Only then did Ling Xi begin to explain everything.
"When I first met you, I never thought that this day would come. It made me feel as if you and I are inextricably linked. So, when you said that you would help me find the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit, I would agree. At that time, I thought, if you are nice to me, I don"t mind being nice to you. If I really can return to my original state, I don"t mind giving you some benefits and saying goodbye. Just think of you as a kind pa.s.serby in my life. "
When she said till here, Ling Xi was already sobbing uncontrollably. Although she did not cry, Long Chen knew that she was crying in her heart.
"Why are you telling me this?" In Long Chen"s heart, he already had a bad premonition.
Ling Xi shook her head and said helplessly: "Brother Chen, you don"t understand the power behind me, it is a place that you cannot imagine. The reason why I don"t want you to obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit today, is because I simply cannot leave you.
As a girl, Ling Xi looked at Long Chen with teary eyes. He did not show any signs of cowardice and directly said such words.
From this, it could be seen how strong the emotions in her heart were.They had experienced too much along the way. Life and death, life and death. If they did not have the help and support from each other, it would have been difficult for them to make it this far.
"Why are we separated the moment we obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit? Xi Er, are you saying that the power behind you will become a hindrance for us? " Long Chen had also thought of this question before. However, even if Ling Xi had recovered, she didn"t need to immediately return to her home. Long Chen had always thought that he would have a lot of time to grow, and then obtain the recognition of the powers behind Ling Xi.
Long Chen"s heart thumped.Ling Xi could only shake her head in pain, as her eyes filled with regret: "There is one thing that I have been hiding from you. Brother Chen, what you do not know is that the power behind me is enormous, my father and mother are both n.o.ble and respected experts.
"I"ve already thought of that before. However, Lil "Xi, don"t we still have time?" Long Chen asked quickly.
"No, we don"t have time, when my body recovers, the power that I once had will return to my body. The power that I possess is very symbolic, the people in my clan probably found the Realm of Myriad Kingdoms long ago because they were looking for me. That is to say, if I recover, it is very likely that my family will discover my existence and appear in the Brother Chen later on. I am sorry, I did not tell you about this right from the start."
When Ling Xi said till here, Long Chen was like a bolt out of the blue. No wonder Ling Xi had said that she only wanted him and not the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit.
Ling Xi"s background was deep and unpredictable, far from something that the current Long Chen could scout out. This meant that when Ling Xi"s family appeared, she would very likely be directly brought away, and the two of them would be separated forever, never to see each other again.
There was a chasm between the heavens and the earth between them. Once they were separated, it was as if they were parting forever.
For a moment, Long Chen felt his throat becoming a little dry. To be honest, he really wanted to beat Ling Xi up. Why did he have to say this at such a time? Something like that, a long, long time ago, she should have said it to let him, Long Chen, be prepared, not now!
At this time, Long Chen"s heroic spirit soared into the skies precisely because his strength had reached the ninth level of the Milky Way Realm and he was cultivating the Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Sword Formation. However, Ling Xi gave him a heavy blow, causing him to completely wake up.
"Brother Chen, I am truly sorry. I know that you feel very uncomfortable, and I also feel very uncomfortable. I really want to beat myself to death. However, there"s nothing I can do about it. Every time I see you full of fighting spirit, I can"t bear to say it.
"The first time Source Spirit City heard about the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit, I had already predicted that there would be such an ending. Before this, we didn"t have such a deep relations.h.i.+p, so what I thought about was, as long as I recover my body, I would give you a lot of benefits, so I didn"t think too much about it. But later on, after everything that happened, I understood that you were more important than anything else, Brother Chen, I"m not lying, as long as I stay by your side, I"m willing to do whatever it takes, even if I don"t have a body.
Ling Xi lowered her head, and blurted out the words in her heart, to the point that she was somewhat hysterical.
Long Chen pursed his lips, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Xi was somewhat painful. Ling Xi"s words, had caused him to face a dilemma. Ling Xi now felt that she could not leave him at all, but wasn"t Long Chen the same now? Back then, while staying in Inverse Wonderland for less than a month, Long Chen had endured the days without her by his side.
And at this time, seeing that Long Chen had fallen into a dilemma, Ling Xi bit her lips and said softly: "Brother Chen, don"t be sad, I won"t leave no matter what, so I"ve decided that no matter what, I don"t want the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit. "I know I can"t give you a child like this, I can"t give you a child like this, but I just want to be selfish for once. Can you please let me be that once?"
After she finished speaking, Ling Xi looked at Long Chen with a gaze filled with hope and deep affection. She was waiting for Long Chen to give her a reply. What she wanted to say was more or less what she wanted to say.
He was like a drowning man who was frantically struggling against water. In the end, he slowly said, "Xiao Xi, you"re right, you"re not wrong at all, but you don"t understand men. You don"t understand me!"
Long Chen said as he stood up from the ground. At this time, his eyes were actually a little red, he turned his body and looked at the vast world. The world was so big, and he was so tiny, which made Long Chen feel extremely powerless, but it did not scare him!
"I don"t know men?" Ling Xi didn"t understand what he meant for a moment.
"No, you don"t." Long Chen clenched his teeth, and looked towards the imperial city with an ice-cold gaze: "Ling Xi, you have followed me for so long, yet you have never understood my personality? I, Long Chen, as a seven feet tall man, when have I ever backed down before? Fear? I have always believed that as long as I keep on moving forward, no one in this world can stop me, including your family! ""Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?" Ling Xi was shocked in her heart. Long Chen"s resolute att.i.tude caused her to feel a little afraid.
"What do you mean? Hehe, "Long Chen laughed as he gently held Ling Xi in her palm, and tried to soften her tone as much as possible, before saying:" I have never retreated, I am a man, and even more so do not want to retreat behind your back when it comes to your problems. Ling Xi, you better think this through. If I promise you today, then I, Long Chen, am still worthy to be a man! "
As she finished speaking, Long Chen practically roared out loud. Ling Xi was so shocked that he was in a daze and almost cried. Long Chen had never looked at her in such a ferocious manner before, this was the first time today. But Ling Xi knew, no matter how much Long Chen died, he would not harm her!
"Brother Chen, you mean, you want me to use that Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit? But if that"s the case, there"s a great possibility that I"ll leave you forever and you"ll never see me again. Are you really willing to part with me? " Ling Xi cried.
"I can"t bear to part with you, Xiao Xi." Long Chen closed his eyes. However, Long Chen forcefully restrained himself, came close to Ling Xi"s ear and said: "I can"t bear to part with you, and I also want to lock you by my side forever. But, I can"t ruin your future because of my own selfishness, because this doesn"t belong to you. You"re still young, so what you should have is a complete body. "The most important point is …"
Long Chen breathed heavily, staring straight at Ling Xi, and said word by word: "Darling, don"t forget, one day I will appear in front of you, defeat or even kill all those who obstruct us, and then turn you into my Long family"s daughter-in-law!"
