Chapter 157 You’re Very Dull

Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were both completely shocked . They stared at him, but a moment later Tang Wan-er’s shock faded to be replaced with complete contempt .

“Nonsense . ”

“Huh, how did you know?” Long Chen said, stunned .

Looking at Long Chen’s expression, Tang Wan-er couldn’t help laughing . Her released laughter was like a peach blossom blooming, extremely alluring .

Tang Wan-er lightly tapped him, scolding, “Rascal, you’re not allowed to make me laugh . If I laugh too much I’ll get wrinkles . ”

But although she said that, she was still laughing beautifully, her voice like silver bells melodiously tinkling .

Long Chen glanced from Tang Wan-er to Ye Zhiqiu and came to a sudden comprehension . “No wonder sister Zhiqiu never laughs . ”

Ye Zhiqiu was momentarily blank before icily staring at him . “You’re very dull . ”

Long Chen awkwardly laughed, “Hehe, it’s a joke! Don’t be so serious . ”

Tang Wan-er was already hunched from laughing so much . Long Chen shrugged, putting on a helpless expression, his meaning being that it was she who was laughing at you, not me .

Finally Tang Wan-er finished laughing, feeling that her face had even become sore from laughing so much . Gently rubbing her cheeks, she smiled at Long Chen, “It really is surprising an empty-headed fool like you can be so funny . ”

“Hehe, I have many good aspects . What, are you interested? If your heart was interested it would be best .

“I trust that with your aptitude and talent, as long as you work hard enough, there will eventually come a day when I will also return your feelings . But remember, you must act quickly .

“The current era is one of intense competition . Those who are early win, while those who are late suffer calamity . Youngsters must be filled with drive . When they see an opportunity, strike like lightning in case it goes by too fast . ”

Long Chen solemnly said all this like a respected elder patiently teaching his descendants, a bright glow of knowledge covering his face .

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Long Chen strangely . It seemed the current Long Chen was a far cry from her impression of him .

“Hey, can you move your vulgar hand from my shoulder?” Tang Wan-er glanced at him disdainfully .

“Aiya, I was too engrossed . Cough, my bad, it was purely my hand’s fault . ” Long Chen laughed and took back his hand .

“Anyways, Long Chen, we should still split this Profound Spirit Fruit . This is very important to you,” said Ye Zhiqiu .

Although Long Chen had said he didn’t want it, she was sure he was just joking . Ye Zhiqiu wasn’t someone who didn’t know her own limits . This Profound Spirit Fruit was too rare . She couldn’t take it all for herself .

“Long Chen, you should split it with sister Zhiqiu . For me, this Profound Spirit Fruit doesn’t have much use .

“I was just fighting because I didn’t want to let that bastard Lei Qianshang to get it too easily . Furthermore, sister Zhiqiu and I have formed an alliance . And to tell the truth, I also only put in so much effort for you . ”

Seeing that Long Chen’s expression became a bit odd, Tang Wan-er hastily continued, “Hey, don’t get any weird thoughts! I was fighting for a competent subordinate, nothing more . I just wanted to raise a powerful helper . ”

“Wan-er, you’re so good to me! How can I repay you? I’m absolutely penniless right now . The only thing of value I have right now is my pure and innocent body . Ah, fine, I’ll give it to you,” Long Chen sputtered out while he was ‘choked with emotion’ .

“Scoundrel, are you asking for death?” Tang Wan-er gave him a vicious pinch .

“Ah yes, pinch me as much as you like . In any case, I’ve already given myself to you . To become one of sister Wan-er’s family, even when I die, I will be sister Wan-er’s family…” Long Chen’s physical body was powerful while Tang Wan-er didn’t specialize in strength in that way . Her pinches didn’t really hurt him at all .

“Pfft…”

Both Long Chen and Tang Wan-er stiffened for a moment . That was because that sound hadn’t been from either one of them . They both quickly turned to stare at Ye Zhiqiu . They saw her covering her face and turning away .

Ye Zhiqiu also knew how to laugh? Both Long Chen and Tang Wan-er stopped whatever they were doing to stare at her .

But when Ye Zhiqiu once more turned back, her face had once more become ice . Shaking her head, she said, “You two are both dull . I’ll split the Profound Spirit Fruit now . ”

She opened the jade case and took out a dagger, about to cut it .

“You must not!” Long Chen was startled . No longer smiling mischievously, he extended his hand to stop her .

“The Profound Spirit Fruit is a natural treasure . It rejects metal, and so if you touch it with that dagger, this Profound Spirit Fruit’s energy will drop by more than half,” explained Long Chen seriously .

Both of them were surprised . Their families both had extremely great backers and backgrounds . They knew the Xuantian Monastery’s trial region would contain a single Profound Spirit Fruit that would mature during the trial .

That was a huge opportunity for them . All five monster-class experts had long since been told that the Profound Spirit Fruit was their greatest opportunity here .

But all they knew about it was that it had an extremely high probability to allow Blood Condensation experts perfectly advance to the Muscle Rebirth realm .

As for its taboos and is efficiency, they were completely unclear . And so Ye Zhiqiu had almost commited an extremely grave error .

Seeing how serious Long Chen was, Ye Zhiqiu was given a fright . She had almost ruined a Profound Spirit Fruit . She hastily put away the dagger .

“Then how should we do it?” asked Ye Zhiqiu .

Long Chen replied, “I wasn’t kidding . My body is somewhat special and I don’t need the Profound Spirit Fruit . Even if I ate it, it would be a complete waste . So, sister Zhiqiu, you can have this entire Profound Spirit Fruit . ”

Seeing how serious he was now, Ye Zhiqiu and Tang Wan-er both glanced at each other . Tang Wan-er laughed, “Sometimes this fellow’s words can be trusted . Sister, please accept it . ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, putting the Profound Spirit Fruit into her ring . She gratefully thanked, “Then I’ll thank both of you . Zhiqiu will remember this kindness . ”

“Ok, now that we’ve finished dividing the spoils, let’s go find a place to eat some fish . ” Tang Wan-er pulled on Ye Zhiqiu .

Long Chen shook his head and rolled his eyes . “You guys can go, but I’m not coming . ”

“If you don’t come then how will we have fish to eat?” raged Tang Wan-er .

“Is there a mistake here? Why must you eat my fish? Isn’t the person inviting others to eat you?” Long Chen was naturally a bit indignant .

“You’re my underling, so what’s yours is mine . Are you planning on rebelling?” Tang Wan-er said, acting as if that was as it should be .

“ . . . ”

Two hours later, at the end of a mountain valley was a clear pool where the fragrance of fish wafted over .

“Long Chen, you really are capable . You even managed to get Wonder Carps and Queen Bee Honey . ” Ye Zhiqiu let out an extremely rare bit of praise .

But naturally what Long Chen had brought out was just the ordinary honey with a bit of the Queen Bee Honey added into it to improve the flavor . If he really did just drink the Queen Bee Honey directly just for the taste, he would definitely be uncomfortable with how wasteful that was .

As Long Chen cooked more fish, he gave Ye Zhiqiu a thumbs up and exclaimed, “Sister Zhiqiu truly is someone who understands reason . You’re not like somepeople who eat and drink other people’s food without saying a single word . ”

Long Chen glanced at Tang Wan-er as he said that . Tang Wan-er was completely infatuated with the fish and Jade Butterfly Honey .

But her mood was just too good at this moment and she pretended as if she hadn’t heard Long Chen’s words . She knew he was intentionally needling her . If she became angry, that would just be falling for his wicked plans .

“Long Chen, I can understand why Lei Qianshang hates you . But I’m curious, why did Qi Xin become like a crazy dog as soon as he saw you?” Tang Wan-er asked somewhat puzzled .

“Ah, do you even need to ask? Of course it’s because he’s jealous of how handsome I am . ” Long Chen mumbled out with a mouthful of fish .

“I’m talking properly to you! Why are you like this!” Tang Wan-er raged .

“Don’t blame me . Normally I’m so proper, but whenever I see you I lose control . I guess I’m just someone who is easy to infect and contaminate,” helplessly said Long Chen .

“Scoundrel, you’re to the one who’s not normal, not me!” How could Tang Wan-er not understand his roundabout insult? She threw her fish bones at him .

Long Chen laughed and dodged . Seeing that she had started to truly become angry, he knew he couldn’t take it too far and hastily poured another cup of honey for both of them .

“The Queen Bee Honey you’re drinking now was something I obtained with his help . ” Long Chen told them about how he had ‘worked together’ with Qi Xin at the beehive . In any case, Long Chen didn’t feel that this was something that needed to be hidden .

When Long Chen finished his story, Ye Zhiqiu sighed and shook her head . “Qi Xin really is unlucky to have provoked you . ”

Tang Wan-er on the other hand had already lost any sense of decorum and was laying on Tang Wan-er’s shoulder, holding her stomach as she tried to breath through her laughter .

“Long Chen, you really are too… wicked . ” Tang Wan-er gasped for breath, her face red with another kind of beauty .

Only now did Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu understand why Qi Xin had immediately gone so crazy, even if it had been a bit purposeful at the end .

But at the beginning when he had been trembling from rage, that was definitely not faked . Hearing Long Chen’s explanation, they now completely understood . Anyone else would also be angered like that .

Looking at her laughing, Long Chen couldn’t stop himself from evilly saying, “Sister Wan-er, if you can say that again, but a bit more coyly, I would be able to accept it easier . ”

“Wicked Long Chen, you can’t even talk properly for more than a minute before returning to your nonsense . I won’t bother with you anymore . ” Tang Wan-er turned her head, purposely not looking at him .

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly gave him a warning, “Long Chen, although you are powerful, your cultivation base is only at the mid stage of Blood Condensation . You should be a bit more careful .

“Although we’ve caused Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin to suffer a lose this time, that doesn’t mean they’re weak . It’s just that we all have some apprehensions and don’t dare use our entire strength . Don’t get overconfident . ”

Ye Zhiqiu might be an icy person, but she was more reliable than Tang Wan-er . She had given him a warning when seeing him smiling and laughing carelessly all day .

Long Chen paused . “You mean none of you have used your full strength?”

“Yes . Although the Profound Spirit Fruit was important, the core disciple trial is even more important . No one wants to be injured before that time arrives . In just ten more days, that final trial will begin . Whether we can obtain a core disciple position will depend on it,” explained Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen nodded . No wonder he had felt as if something was wrong . Even he had suspected that a monster-class expert’s strength would not have been limited to that level .

So originally they were all focused on the final trial . That made sense .

Long Chen suddenly asked Tang Wan-er, “Can you summon a wind blade and give me a good look?”
