Chapter 113 Secret
The door to Long Chenâs room was pushed open . Long Chenâs mother and father walked in . Seeing that Long Chen was already able to sit up, they were extremely overjoyed .
âHowâs your recovery?â Long Tianxiao walked up to Long Chen and examined his complexion .
âIâm pretty much healed . â Long Chen shrugged . After his FengFu Star had advanced to become a true star, his recovery rate had grown to a shocking level . His body had already healed itself by the time he had woken up .
âRight, dad, how are your wounds?â Long Chen asked, concerned . Although Long Chen had experienced the most intense battle, his injuries werenât that severe . On the other hand, it was Long Tianxiao whose injuries were the most worrisome .
Long Tianxiao smiled slightly . âTheyâre already nothing to worry about . The alchemist guild sent me quite a few medicinal pills . The new guild head treated my wounds . I should be fully recovered in just a few days . â
Saying that, Long Tianxiao was filled with pride . For an existence like the alchemist guild to treat the Long family so well was all because of Long Chen .
âChen-er, mom was worried to death these past few days . Let mom see if youâve become thinner . â Mrs . Long only now had an opportunity to butt in and she came up to rub Long Chenâs cheeks .
Long Chen didnât quite know how to react to that . His father also had a strange expression . Long Chen laughed, âMom, if you want to know if Iâve lost weight, youâll probably have to lift me to tell . â
Long Tianxiao and Chu Yao both laughed heartily . Mrs . Long indignantly said, âThis child, when did you get so cheeky? You dare play jokes on your mom? Youâre no longer a baby . How is mom supposed to be pick you up?â
Their small group laughed and conversed harmoniously . Long Tianxiao saw that Long Chenâs complexion was excellent, not at all like someone who had just experienced a great battle and was injured .
While he was gratified by that, he was also shocked inside . That recovery ability was too astonishing, practically comparable to Magical Beasts .
âRight, how are Little Snow and Aman?â suddenly asked Long Chen .
âAman, that child, is practically a freak . Even having endured that many Bone Eroding Needles, he only slept for a single night before waking up . And as soon as he woke up, he was ravenously hungry and ate everything that could be eaten in our home . We already had to send him out to the pastures outside to get more food,â said Mrs . Long .
After this great crisis, Mrs . Long now already considered Aman as her own child .
Long Chen smiled slightly . He knew it was because of the effect of the liquid given to him by the Spirit World expert . That liquid possessed an extremely dense life energy and was exceedingly precious .
If Long Chenâs guess wasnât wrong, that was most likely a trace of that expertâs life essence . That kind of gift was definitely not a light one .
With Amanâs body, having obtained such a powerful nourishment, his recovery speed was still within reason .
Although his body was recovering, having been tortured for so long, he definitely needed to replenish a great deal of energy . He was probably crazily devouring meat .
âAs for Little Snow, we donât know how heâs recovering . We set him up in a room and he wonât let anyone get near,â explained Mrs . Long .
âHaha, letâs go take a look . â Long Chen tidied up his clothes and arrived at an outer room of the Long family estate . One of the roomâs walls was torn down .
That was because Little Snowâs body was too big and he couldnât fit through the door . They could see Little Snow lying there even from a distance .
âWu!â
Long Chen had yet to even get to close when the dozing Little Snow blinked his eyes and charged over .
Mrs . Long was given a fright and almost screamed . Facing such a huge beast, everyone would instinctively feel fear . Even Long Tianxiao felt a powerful pressure .
Long Chen laughed and hugged Little Snowâs head . âLooks like youâve also recovered . â
His powerful Spiritual Strength swept out and entered Little Snowâs body . Little Snowâs broken bones had already fused back together . But there were still places that it hadnât fully grown back and so there were many cracks .
But Long Chenâs medicinal pills were all high quality, and so their effects were extremely great . Adding on Little Snowâs powerful recovery ability, there was already not much to worry about .
âYour big wounds have only just healed . You have to take it easy and not make any intense movements, understood?â Long Chen affectionately rubbed Little Snowâs head .
âWu wu!â Little Snow rubbed his head against Long Chenâs chest .
Mrs . Long looked at that obedient and cute Little Snow that was practically acting like a puppy and couldnât help curiously asking, âChen-er, can he understand what youâre saying?â
âYup, pretty much . He grew up with me from the size of a hand, so he understands my meanings,â explained Long Chen .
In reality, Little Snow was unable to understand Long Chenâs words . But due to their spiritual connection, he could sense and understand Long Chenâs thoughts .
At the same time, Long Chen could also sense Little Snowâs emotions . But this communication wasnât through words and so it wasnât that precise .
âWhere did you get him? How come I didnât know about it?â Mrs . Long was startled .
âHaha, this was sent to support me by Meng Qi . â Long Chen replied without thinking, but as soon as he said that, he saw his mother doing her best to signal him with his eyes .
Obviously she was warning him not to mention Meng Qi in front of Chu Yao . Mrs . Long already regretted her big mouth .
âMom, big sister Meng Qi sent such a precious Magical Beast to Long Chen . That is enough to prove that big sister Meng Qi has deep emotions for Long Chen . This is a good thing,â said Chu Yao .
âMom? Youâve changed the name so fast?â Long Chen felt it was inconceivable .
But as soon as he said that, Chu Yaoâs face turned completely red and Mrs . Long pulled her over to her side and fiercely told Long Chen, âChild, let me tell you, Chu Yao is the first daughter-in-law . If you make her feel wronged, I will not forgive you . â
Mrs . Longâs words were extremely clever . That âfirst daughter-in-lawâ was used remarkably well, causing Chu Yao to feel much more comfortable . Long Chen definitely admired his motherâs skill in this area .
Long Chen looked from his mother to Chu Yao and didnât anything, only laughing foolishly . He laughed so much that Chu Yao wished she could find somewhere to hide herself .
âOk, now that the crisis has passed and everythingâs fine, letâs properly eat a meal . After all, weâre finally all together,â proposed Long Tianxiao .
To Long Tianxiao who spent his days fighting, to be able to eat a meal with his family was an extremely rare and precious opportunity .
Their servants quickly prepared a sumptuous feast for them . But Long Chen noticed that the majority of them were all new faces, so he couldnât help being astonished .
âYour father switched them all out,â explained Mrs . Long .
âWhat?â
âChild, normally youâre so smart, so how did you become so dumb now? They followed our Long family for so many years, always loyal and devoted . Having been implicated into such a terror, they almost lost their lives . Our Long family owes them far too much . Your father already gave each of them a huge fortune, enough to provide for them for a lifetime . That can count as a compensation for them . But there was still a portion of them who didnât want to leave and so theyâre working for us . In any case, we must remember this favor in our hearts,â sighed Mrs . Long .
Those people had been unrelated to their Long family, but when the Long family had been down and out, they hadnât abandoned them .
In comparison, his motherâs family which were clearly her blood sisters had decided to hurt her like they had .
Looking at his motherâs sullen expression, Long Chen and Long Tianxiao exchanged a glance and quickly changed the topic to something happier, quickly bringing her out of her sadness .
âDad, your son toasts you!â Long Chen raised a large cup of alcohol to Long Tianxiao . âTo our familyâs reunion!â
Long Tianxiao laughed heartily and also raised his cup, clinking their glasses . Chu Yao and Mrs . Long also raised their wine glasses . The four of them were all smiling happily .
Long Chen and Long Tianxiao directly emptied their cups in one go . As for Chu Yao and Mrs . Long, they obviously didnât have such a capacity for alcohol . Chu Yao only drank one gulp before her face flushed, making her appear even cuter .
âThat child Aman still hasnât returned in two days . â Mrs . Long felt a bit uneasy that they were missing Aman in their group .
âHaha, Amanâs probably still busy eating . Donât worry,â laughed Long Chen . Pouring another cup for his father, he asked, âDad howâs the situation in the capital?â
âItâs somewhat tranquil . Originally Phoenix Cryâs biggest competitor was the Grand Xia, but now the Grand Xia has become a complete mess . The other prince was assassinated and now all the officials are busy greedily fighting for the position of Emperor . Even if one of them eventually becomes the new Emperor, their empireâs power will have dropped greatly . Itâll be impossible for them to threaten Phoenix Cry . As for Phoenix Cry, the other princes have already withdrawn from the power struggle for Emperor . The seventh prince was recommended as the crown prince and is now in charge of the imperial court . â Long Tianxiao drank a mouthful of alcohol .
The other princes might be foolishly greedy, they werenât stupid . They knew that none of them were able to compete with the seventh prince . That was because behind him was a Muscle Rebirth expert, his sister .
Furthermore, who didnât know of Chu Yaoâs relationship with Long Chen? With the backing of the Long family, no one would dare compete against him .
And since they couldnât compete, the next best thing was to curry favor . The other princes all loudly acclaimed their praise for Chu Fengâs ascension, acting as if it was only to be expected .
Long Chen glanced at Chu Yao and suddenly laughed naughtily . âHaha, the sister of the Emperor . Come, a toast for you! Being the husband of the Emperorâs sister really is exciting!â
âYou bad man!â Chu Yao glared at Long Chen prettily, causing the three of them to laugh .
âChild, youâre not allowed to bully Chu Yao!â Mrs . Long resisted laughing and lightly scolded him .
In order to not miff Chu Yao, Mrs . Long revealed some embarrassing stories of Long Chen from when he was young . This time it was Long Chenâs turn to be helpless as Chu Yao laughed endlessly . Their family ate together in a peaceful happiness .
After eating, Long Chen hesitated for a while before summoning up the courage to say, âDad, mom, I want to go take a look at the outside world . â
Mrs . Longâs smile immediately disappeared . Chu Yao was also startled . Only Long Tianxiao had seemed to have long since expected that, his expression completely calm .
After a moment of silence, Mrs . Longâs trembling voice asked, âChen-er, you really want to leave home?â
Long Chen lowered his head, not able to look his mother in his eyes . Their family had only just reunited . This subject truly was too serious .
But Long Chen truly did want to see the outside world . His lover was still in that outer world . The Spirit World, Pill Valley, and that figure from his dreams with the power to destroy the very world, those things all told him he had to leave Phoenix Cry .
âIâm preparing to leave with Chu Yao and Aman . â Long Chenâs voice was so quiet that even he could barely hear it . His heart was filled with pain .
Chu Yao clearly relaxed a breath when she heard that . But looking at Mrs . Longâs heartbroken gaze, she immediately felt sad again .
âOur child has grown up . We should let him decide his own future . We have to learn to let go,â suddenly said Long Tianxiao .
He continued, âChen-er, since youâve decided, itâs time for me to tell you a certain secret . â
âLong Tianxiao, youâŠâ Mrs . Long suddenly stood up and angrily glared at Long Tianxiao, giving Long Chen a fright .
Within his memories, his mother and father had always gotten along extremely well, never showing anger to each other like this . For his motherâs reaction to be so huge at this point caused him to be at a loss .
âHe has the right to know the truth . â Long Tianxiao firmly looked back at his wife .
âYou⊠Long Tianxiao, I hate you!â Mrs . Long suddenly began to cry and ran out .
Chu Yao saw this situation and hastily also left, leaving behind only the two of them, father and son .
