Chapter 442 - Stubborn Obsession
“Long Chen?” The old lady’s gaze fell on Long Chen for the first time. She eyed him up and down for a while, and there was a momentary flash of confusion in her eyes. Why does this small town boy have a strange aura?
After thinking for a moment, she still could not figure it out.
Must be a mistake. The old lady shook her head, then she looked at the hopeful Ling Xi and then at Long Chen. Suddenly, she furrowed her brows and waved her hand. A blurry light array wrapped around her and Ling Xi.
Long Chen’s chest tightened. What was the old lady doing? Why hadn’t she answered the question, but instead separated herself and Ling Xi from him? It was strange.
He was not strong enough to probe, so all he could do was wait quietly.
That was when the teenager who had been silent looked at Long Chen icily. He radiated a terrifying aura and did not seem like a friendly person.
His gaze swept Long Chen like a blade, and Long Chen felt a numbing sensation on his skin. It was as if he could be killed with just a look from the stranger.
Being watched by the teenager felt like a torturous walk on the edge of death.
Long Chen forced himself to be still as he waited for the outcome.
The success of it all depended on this moment.
The old woman’s reaction had surprised both Long Chen and Ling Xi. When Ling Xi realized that the space around her was sealed, she froze and looked at the old woman, only to find that her usually gentle and kind grandmother was glaring sternly at her.
“Grandma, what’s the matter ...” Ling Xi had a bad feeling.
“What’s the matter? Hehe, Xi’er. All I can say is that he’s smart and very lucky. If he had made you lose your virginity last night, I would have pulverized him so he wouldn’t even be able to reincarnate!” said the old woman through gritted teeth.
Ling Xi felt like her world had gone dark.
“Grandma, how do you know?” Both Ling Xi and Long Chen had only planned to tell her that they were regular friends, then take him to the Three Emperor Territories. Although they couldn’t be together in public, at least they stood a chance. However, how could Ling Xi have expected her grandmother to know everything?
“Do you take your grandmother for a fool? Silly girl, I’ve lived a long life. You’re covered all over with that boy’s scent. Did you think I wouldn’t notice? You can’t bear to part with him, so you wanted to pretend to be friends so I’d take him with us, right?” the old woman said with a sigh.
“Wipe your tears and bid him farewell. You two don’t have much time left.” Then the old woman sighed tiredly and completely removed the membrane surrounding them.
At this point, Long Chen was almost breaking down from the torture asserted by the teenager’s gaze. He knew that the boy was merely toying with him because he was bored. It was too bad that he was a super-strong cultivator, as Long Chen could only hold it in. He swore to himself that one day, he would pay for this!
Then Ling Xi appeared.
Long Chen’s chest tightened when he saw her tear-stained face and turned pale too. From her expression, he knew the outcome.
“Brother Chen!” Seeing as they were about to be separated, Ling Xi no longer cared about appearances. She ran up to him and stretched her arms out, then they embraced in a tight hug. They pulled each other in with great might.
“I’m so sorry. I’m useless; I messed everything up. I’m sorry ...” Ling Xi buried her face in his chest as she sobbed. Her tears quickly soaked through his clothes.
“So, you failed?” Long Chen chuckled bitterly. Indeed, there was no hope. It meant that he only had one way out, which was to make his way through the Divine Martial Empire first.
Long Chen was in great pain, but he knew that Ling Xi was in grief as well. He quickly tussled her hair and said softly into her ear, “Xiao Xi, it’ll be alright. Even though we didn’t succeed today, I will come find you. The only difference is that it’ll take more time. Wait for me ...”
“Mhm!” Ling Xi nodded hard. “Brother Chen, I believe you can do it. After I return, I will focus on cultivation and wait for you. No one will be able to force me into anything, or I will kill myself!”
There was great determination in her tone.
From Long Chen’s perspective, Ling Xi would be treated as a little princess once she returned, and no one would force her into anything. That was why he did not even attempt to understand the meaning behind her words. He was comforted to see that Ling Xi was able to let go and said, “Go, then. Just like what we said yesterday, prolonging this will only make us more miserable. Go back to where you should be. Wait for my arrival.”
Were they going to part just like that?
Ling Xi was not prepared for this at all. She hugged Long Chen tightly, as if she wanted to merge their bodies into one. Unfortunately, she still had no way to take Long Chen with her.
When the old woman saw them hugging each other so tightly, she could only sigh. Next to her, the powerful teenager who was toying with Long Chen was completely stunned. To him, Ling Xi was a fairy from the heavens, while Long Chen was as good as a stray dog. Yet they were hugging each other, and they looked so in love. What was going on?
“Xi’er, it’s time. Let’s go.” The old woman could not watch them any longer.
They could try to prolong this, but separation was inevitable.
Long Chen could only hope that he could become stronger quickly so he would one day be able to go to her.
