Chapter 1993
the news of the brahma secret realm rapidly spread thanks to pill valley’s efforts. practically everyone knew of it, and countless experts began to look forward to its opening.
originally, long chen’s tribulation and the ensuing battle that had resulted in the deaths of ji wuming and countless heavenly geniuses had greatly setback pill valley’s alliance. their morale received a heavy blow. yu xiaoyun had even been told to scram by long chen, and he had listened.
just as everyone thought that the martial heaven alliance’s rise was set in stone, while pill valley and the others would be unable to do anything to them, the news of the brahma secret realm caused the wind to change.
the title of a divine daughter shook people’s hearts. it was no wonder there hadn’t been any news of the pill fairy for so long. so she was receiving a god’s inheritance.
the pill fairy had originally been a peak heavenly genius blessed by the heavenly daos. if she had god power supporting her as well, using that god power to control the brahma divine diagram and the daynight furnace, just who would be able to fight her?
people guessed that the reason yu xiaoyun had left under long chen’s threats was because he was leaving long chen to the pill fairy.
regardless of the reason, the continent finally started to grow lively again. pill valley and the others no longer dared to cause trouble with the excuse of looking for long chen.
even if long chen were to walk down the street, no one would dare to touch him. as for the so-called arrest warrants that had been put out for him? those became an absolute joke.
the clearwind city returned to its original state. countless people were walking along the streets, and small businesses opened their doors once more. things were no longer so tense.
long chen was strolling through the streets with meng qi, chu yao, tang wan-er, cloud, and liu ruyan. they were looking through the marketplace. other than liu ruyan who was as icy as ever, the others were very excited. cloud was especially excited, amazed by everything new to her. she held tang wan-er’s hand, asking questions left and right.
meng qi and chu yao were holding long chen’s arms, smiling. it seemed that they had forgotten the feeling of strolling through the streets ever since they had stepped into the cultivation world.
long chen felt ashamed at this. by following him, they had spent all their time in cultivation and fighting. they had given him their best years, and now just a simple stroll was enough to satisfy them. as a man, this made him feel vexed.
“as long as you’re by our side, it’s a blessing. as long as you’re well, it’s like spring,” said meng qi softly, seeming to read his thoughts.
“good, there was no thunder at the end.” long chen couldn’t help chortling.
“what thunder?” asked meng qi.
when long chen told them what had happened to mo nian, they laughed. tang wan-er had to support herself or she would fall down laughing.
“ah, let’s keep this matter to ourselves. if everyone learns of it, especially guo ran, mo nian will definitely bite me the next time we meet,” said long chen. family shame shouldn’t be spread. just having the family know of it was enough.
“long chen, look at mo nian. he knows how to write love letters to people. why haven’t you made any moves in that regard? you’re even inferior to mo nian,” teased tang wan-er.
“tch, love letters are so low grade, only used to trick children. i wouldn’t bother with writing down my love for you... i’d rather show it to you in person.” long chen glanced at tang wan-er’s curves.
that gaze of his immediately made tang wan-er redden. she wanted to run, but if she avoided it, it would be saying that this was a weak point. she stood up straight and righteously said, “pervert.”
meng qi and chu yao also blushed. cloud didn’t understand, while liu ruyan acted like she hadn’t heard anything.
it was only now that guo ran noticed long chen and the others. he walked over.
long chen and the others had changed their appearances to avoid causing a ruckus, but those familiar with him could recognize him based on his aura.
“what’s going on? were you beaten? you don’t look good,” questioned long chen. guo ran’s appearance was very strange.
“i’ve been very unlucky these past two days. the day before yesterday, i ended up falling asleep and having a nightmare. i dreamt a bunch of people beat me, startling me awake. when i realized it was a dream, i went back to sleep, only to dream of those people again. they shouted at me, ‘you dare to come back?’ and then i woke up again,” sighed guo ran.
meng qi and the others laughed once more. long chen wasn’t too surprised. the dragonblood warriors were all under immense pressure, and normally when they cultivated, there was no way for them to sleep. only by drinking until they were drunk could they relax enough to dream.
although guo ran was already very powerful, his inner heart was still weak and cowardly, which was why he had such a dream.
“that’s not all. i also ran into something vexing just now,” said guo ran.
“but you didn’t fall for the con?” asked tang wan-er.
“not that, something before that. there’s a building, the spirit cleansing medicinal pools. they claim their baths can completely relax someone, so i went in...” said guo ran.
“what? was the pool not clean?” asked tang wan-er.
“no... actually... let’s not talk about it,” sighed guo ran.
“hurry up and tell us. it’s annoying when people only say things halfway!” raged tang wan-er.
“it’s embarrassing. when i went in and asked the price, they said that the man’s bath costs a hundred spirit crystals, while the woman’s bath costs ten thousand spirit crystals. i said that it was a robbery, but the host asked me whether i wanted to go to the man’s bath or the woman’s bath. after hesitating... since i’ve never been to a woman’s bath before, i... i... i went in to take a look, only to see a pool full of men. they cursed me, cursing me for being another man and making them even more crowded... i was actually conned.” guo ran covered his face pitifully.
now even long chen laughed. “fool, you even jumped into such a hole. how can i be at ease with you leading the dragonblood legion?”
“it’s not me being a fool, it’s that they’re too crafty! tell me, what happened to people’s integrity and sincerity? clearwind city is a con!” cried guo ran.
“you deserve it. who asked you to be a pervert? good thing you disguised yourself first, or it’d be embarrassing if others recognized you,” said tang wan-er without the slightest sympathy.
“for men, this is normal. just don’t fall for it next time.” long chen magnanimously patted guo ran on the shoulder in a consoling manner.
“i’m planning on leaving for a few days. be careful and supervise everyone’s cultivation. don’t let this victory get to people’s heads. our enemies retreated, but it’s not a true retreat. they have only taken a single step back to accumulate energy for the next strike. once everyone’s had a chance to relax, make them focus again. don’t let them get drunk on other people’s worship,” said long chen seriously.
although the dragonblood warriors were already incredibly strong, they were still young. being surrounded by the disciples of the martial heaven alliance and their worship, there was danger of them growing overconfident.
if that happened, it wouldn’t be long before the dragonblood legion fractured. so guo ran, gu yang, and the others had to occasionally give them a blow so they continued to work hard.
after giving instructions to guo ran, long chen led the women onto a transportation formation. they went straight for the grand xia ancient nation.
