Chapter 1015
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 .
“Another person difficult to deal with . ” Long Chen narrowed his eyes .
“Why would you have to deal with her?” Tang Wan-er glared at him .
Long Chen rolled his eyes . She really didn’t know how to have a proper conversation .
“Her 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, it’s clearly a sign of dense Spirit Blood . She is extremely powerful,” said Long Chen .
Whether it was the tall Hu Guishan or the iron paG.o.da-like man, they didn’t say anything further . They were clearly familiar with her, and it seemed that they were afraid of her .
“Any woman with talent and looks can become one of my subordinates,” she said .
The women amongst the four regions’ 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 .
“Brother Long, what do you think? Should I go rely on this big sister?” Zhao Ziyan walked over and quietly whispered to him .
Zhao Ziyan was clearly probing his att.i.tude toward her again . Long Chen could only thicken his face and say, “This woman is a phoenix amongst mortals . If you follow her, you’ll definitely learn many things that will be of great value to your future . Choosing her would be the wisest decision for you . ” He said it with a smile, but he felt that his smile was very fake .
“Oh, many thanks for your pointers, brother Long . That’s what I was thinking too . Take care . ” Zhao Ziyan smiled slightly, but a trace of disappointment could be seen in her eyes .
Watching Zhao Ziyan’s departing figure, Long Chen felt a few complicated emotions . Tang Wan-er lightly pushed him, saying, “Fool, this sister is a good person, and she’s talented with a high cultivation base . She clearly wants to join the Dragonblood Legion, so why would you refuse her?”
“It’s naturally because I love you too much and worry about you being jealous . ”
“Dislikable . I refuse to believe you . ” However, she still blushed . She was very satisfied with this reply .
“Long Chen, although I’m a bit petty, I’m not someone who can’t see the big picture, nor am I a violent shrew who gets jealous and complains,” said Tang Wan-er warmly, holding Long Chen’s hand .
“Really? How come I can’t tell that?” said Long Chen .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, do you believe me when I say I’ll bite you to death?!” Tang Wan-er’s warmth instantly vanished without a trace . She glared at him, looking like she might pounce and take a bite out of him . ”
“Yes, this I definitely believe . ” Long Chen nodded obediently .
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you refuse to listen when people talk to you normally . Instead, I have to beat you fiercely for you to behave!”
“Fine, lady Wan-er, if you have anything to say at all, this little one will carefully listen,” said Long Chen, putting on a humble expression .
“Be serious . This is important . ” Tang Wan-er hit him lightly before saying, “Sister Meng Qi said that I can’t 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 you’re going around picking up girls . ”
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 .
“Sister 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, it’s easy on the eyes,” said Guo Ran expectantly .
“I really will slap you if you spout more nonsense!” raged Long Chen . From morning to night, this brat didn’t think about any proper things . He didn’t even understand what heat control was .
“Long 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 don’t want you to make the wrong decision because you’re worried about me…” said Tang Wan-er, her voice slightly choked with sobs .
Long Chen held her hand, his heart filled with emotions . A person’s character didn’t change . For Tang Wan-er to be able to say such words meant she really wasn’t an obstinate girl .
Women naturally didn’t like sharing the person they loved with others . And if the roles were reversed and Tang Wan-er wanted another man, Long Chen definitely wouldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t like Long Chen accepting other women, she still expressed this att.i.tude .
“Foolish 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!” Long Chen gently wiped away Tang Wan-er’s tears .
“Exactly, sister Wan-er, you’re worried over nothing . With us brothers together, what can’t we do? However, getting back to that point, if there really was a beautiful woman who wanted to join, it wouldn’t be a bad thing- aiya!” Guo Ran was kicked away by Long Chen .
“The only thing you remember is beatings,” laughed Tang Wan-er .
“I’m talking seriously! That Zhao Ziyan’s talent is so good, and she’s not bad as a person . Why not pull her in?” demanded Guo Ran, unconvinced .
Long Chen shook his head . “People can’t be too selfish . She isn’t 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 isn’t suitable for just anyone .
“Whether it’s Meng Qi, Wan-er, Zhiqiu, or Chu Yao, they all don’t like fighting . It’s the opposite; they loathe it . But you all raise the butcher’s blade because of me . I understand all your pain, and I owe you all too much . Why owe others as well?”
“Long Chen…” Tang Wan-er’s eyes reddened . “When you talk like a normal person, you make me happy . ”
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 Chen’s 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 .
“He should be a flame cultivator . ” Long Chen was startled . This person’s 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 didn’t 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 cultivator’s flame wasn’t 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 person’s 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 didn’t 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 .
“He’s a soul cultivator . ” Long Chen finally decided that he was likely a soul cultivator . But according to reason, a soul cultivator shouldn’t be able to give him such an intense feeling of danger .
Just as Long Chen was sensing these terrifying figures, he suddenly noticed a s.h.i.+ft behind him . Turning around, he saw that the beautiful, icy woman had walked over to him .
