Ye Lingshan knocked Long Chen down, but Long Chen didn't resist. He just looked at Ye Lingshan with a half-smile and said, "
My wives are watching from afar. Aren't you afraid they'll scratch you?"
Ye Lingshan looked at Long Chen, her eyes slightly reddening. She let go of Long Chen's neck, slowly sat up, lowered her head, and softly said,
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Long Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you for caring about me." Ye Lingshan said softly,
"I know you came here on purpose to talk to me and keep me company. I know a lot of people care about me... "
But you just can't get out of that shadow, huh?" Long Chen also sat up, a blade of grass in his mouth, gazing at the floating clouds beneath the tree, a relaxed smile on his lips.
"Mm,"
Ye Lingshan nodded.
Long Chen said, "I originally thought Dongfang Yuyang was dead, which made me feel a bit better. But now, hearing that Dongfang Yuyang isn't dead, my inner demons are growing stronger?" "
Drip drip drip...
Silent tears slid down Ye Lingshan's cheeks, dripping onto the grass. Ye Lingshan's hand tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, lowering her head, not wanting anyone to see her crying expression. Her stubborn expression was heartbreaking.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It seems you've experienced too few failures in your life. Even if your childhood was unfortunate, you still didn't suffer any major losses."
Now, I am somewhat grateful to those people who constantly cast shadows on me during my childhood; it was they who forged my heart into an incredibly solid one.
Failures, humiliation, helplessness, resentment—negative emotions gnaw at my heart like mice.
Back then, I was just an extremely ordinary little character, but I didn't leave any inner demons behind.
Because I firmly believe that opportunities will eventually come. Every day, I work harder than others, just to wait for opportunities to come and seize them firmly to change my fate.
That's why the elders always say, 'Suffer losses early,' because when you're young, you cry when you fall, but after crying, you instinctively get back up.
But those who have never fallen suddenly take a big fall and feel overwhelmed, thinking the sky is falling.
Actually, get up, pat your butt, look up, the sky is still blue, the clouds are still leisurely, and try to put on a silly, silly smile—you'll find life is truly beautiful. "
Pfft"
Ye Lingshan suddenly broke into a smile through her tears. Her previously sorrowful mood was instantly amused by Long Chen. Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, she reached out and pinched Long Chen hard, only to find that Long Chen's skin was like dragon skin—impossible to squeeze.
"You're so thick-skinned, no wonder you talk so cheeky." Ye Lingshan said angrily.
"Tch, if I weren't thick-skinned enough, how could I have won over so many beautiful and beautiful wives?" Long Chen said dismissively.
"Smell beautiful," Ye Lingshan muttered.
However, she noticed that after being amused by Long Chen earlier, her melancholy mood suddenly vanished, and the oppressive feeling in her heart had greatly disappeared, making her feel completely relaxed.
Ye Lingshan secretly glanced at Long Chen and saw him biting a grass stem, already lying down, staring at the floating clouds in the sky, lost in thought.
"Hey, weren't you here to comfort me? Why did he suddenly stop talking? Ye Lingshan pushed Long Chen and said.
"Trying to fool you?" I don't have the time for that. I don't even know who I'm trying to coax. Besides, even if I don't guide you, with your abilities, you'll quickly move on from the shadow. Long Chen said.
"You trust me that much?" Ye Lingshan was taken aback.
"I'm not the only one who trusts you. Everyone in the Tianwu Alliance believes in you. The Alliance Leader has sharp eyes and won't choose the wrong person.
I came because of that girl Liu Ruyan, who targets me in every way. I can't make it over there anymore, so I came here to tease you and cheer you up. Long Chen said lazily, eyes closed.
"Shameless," Ye Lingshan snorted. Long Chen was shameless, even using words like flirting openly.
"Your assessment is quite fair." Long Chen said with a smile.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Lingshan's expression turned a bit shy. After a long pause, she finally said, "Long Chen..."
"What are you doing?" Let me tell you, all my wives are over there, so don't have any improper thoughts, okay? Long Chen suddenly sat up, looking at Ye Lingshan in astonishment.
"You're driving me crazy... Ye Lingshan gritted her teeth in anger and got up to leave.
"Hehe, just kidding, don't take it seriously. Since when did you, Ye Lingshan, become so stingy?" Long Chen hurriedly grabbed Ye Lingshan, his face beaming with a smile.
"You're so hateful. How can the sisters stand it? If it were me, I would have strangled you long ago." Ye Lingshan looked at Long Chen, who was grinning mischievously, and said angrily.
"So, if you're not family, you won't enter the same door. By the way, what were you trying to say just now?" Long Chen asked.
"It's nothing," Ye Lingshan said angrily.
"Hehe, it's probably because of the inner demon." Long Chen said with a smile.
Ye Lingshan remained silent. Long Chen knew her personality, so he teased her on purpose. He hadn't expected Ye Lingshan to get so angry this time.
"Actually, sometimes inner demons aren't necessarily a bad thing. They are like a mirror, exposing all your weaknesses.
The more you fear something, the more you can see through this mirror what you don't want to see.
But people can't always go without looking in the mirror. Those who dare to face their own flaws become strong inside. Dongfang Yuyang, think about him more when you have time. Long Chen said.
"What do I want him to do?" Ye Lingshan asked in confusion.
"If you don't want him, then there's no such inner demon to refer to in the future. Once we leave the Star Domain Divine Realm, I'll take him down immediately.
Last time, I didn't know if he killed him was a clone or a substitute. I always felt he was getting off too easy. I didn't expect fate to be kind to me and give me another chance. This time, I will cherish it and absolutely cannot let this despicable and shameless person die so comfortably. Long Chen chuckled.
Last time, in a fit of rage, he killed Dongfang Yuyang, but the fury in Long Chen's heart could not be dissipated.
Long Chen had never encountered such a despicable and shameless person, yet such a person pretended to be a gentleman. What was most hateful was that Long Chen had never felt satisfied with killing him last time.
Just thinking about meeting Dongfang Yuyang again filled Long Chen with anticipation. Being able to kill him twice would be a very good outcome.
"But once we teleport out, the major powers will ...," Ye Lingshan said with some concern.
"No matter who is here, I will kill him. This time, he has no chance of luck." Long Chen said confidently.
Dongfang Yuyang was far too treacherous, despicable, and shameless, using any means necessaryThe enemy was the most dangerous, and Long Chen listed him as the first target to kill.
For some reason, after the cultivation rules of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique were broken, Long Chen's confidence in himself grew stronger, with a kind of boldness that could be said and absolutely followed.
"Why does any tricky matter always become so easy when it comes to you?" Ye Lingshan said with a bitter smile.
Originally shy to speak up, she had been shy to ask for help now seemed so simple in Long Chen's hands, while she seemed so childish. She felt very embarrassed to have to ask Long Chen for such a small matter.
However, there was a hint of joy in her eyes. For some reason, being with Long Chen always gave off a warm and reliable feeling, as if he could hold up a vast sky. Being by his side always brought peace of mind.
Even the so-called inner demons in her heart began to fade with Long Chen's words. Ye Lingshan even wanted to try what Long Chen said: don't let your inner demons fade so quickly, but instead face them bravely. Long Chen is a truly remarkable person.
"Because simplifying complicated things is my life creed. Right or wrong doesn't matter, simplicity is enough. That's all taught me by the old man." Long Chen said with a smile.
"I'm afraid in this world, only the old man's words can be heard by you." Thinking of the old man's fiery personality, Ye Lingshan smiled gently.
"It depends on whether he was right. If he was wrong, even if he hit me, I would oppose it.
By the way, after this trip, there might be something good happening. "Long Chen suddenly laughed.
"What good news? Is that a sinister smile? Ye Lingshan covered her mouth and laughed. Long Chen was grinning mischievously, not like he had any good news.
"The old man and the Alliance Leader are very likely to get married." Long Chen said with great certainty.
"This... No way. Ye Lingshan was taken aback.
"There's nothing they can't do. The two of them have been entangled in love and resentment all their lives. The alliance leader has spent the best years of his life for the Tianwu Alliance.
The old man was also stubborn, refusing to bow to the leader of the alliance. The two cared for each other but were like enemies, quarreling as soon as they met.
Now that the two have finally reconciled, both of them are interested in being together, and after this return, the alliance leader should hand over all his power to you.
At that point, she'll be considered to have completely abdicated and yielded to others. What I mean is, when the time comes, we should propose it ourselves: you go persuade the alliance leader, I'll go persuade the old man, and just let them marry directly. Long Chen said.
"Advising them is fine, but they're all prominent figures. Doing this might embarrass them." Ye Lingshan said.
After all, both of them were quite old. If they held a wedding like this, wouldn't that be ridiculed by countless people?
"Even more shameless. Both of them did it, and you're still afraid of this?" Long Chen curled his lips and said.
"Really?" Ye Lingshan covered her mouth, exclaiming in surprise.
"Let's not get hung up on this shameless matter. I know the old man—he loves the Alliance Leader and wants nothing but his life for her.
If he couldn't give the Alliance Leader a grand wedding, he would always feel regret. In fact, both elders were true heroes, sacrificing their prime youth for the sake of all the people of the Tianwu Alliance. As the younger generation, we should do something for them. Long Chen said.
"Alright then, I'll give it a try, but I don't know if I can persuade her." Although she agreed, Ye Lingshan wasn't very confident.
"Then it's settled. I'll handle the old man's side, and when the time comes, the Alliance Leader can just borrow a donkey to go downhill." Long Chen said.
"Are you insulting the old man?" Ye Lingshan covered her mouth and laughed.
After discussing the old man's matter, Ye Lingshan became cheerful. The so-called inner demons had long been cast aside, and Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and others had dragged them to play on the mother tree.
Time flew by, and one day, runes began to flow around Long Chen and the others, and a strange aura rose.
"Everyone, gather together." Long Chen suddenly shouted sharply, gathering everyone. The day to return to the Tianwu Continent was about to arrive.
