"Bastards, you bunch of damn bastards! How dare you rob Longteng Trading Company! Just you wait!"
A powerful member of Longteng Trading Company let out a hysterical roar. More than two months ago, they had just been robbed by Long Chen.
Now, more than two months have passed. They thought everything was over, had just reorganized the treasury and prepared for the opening, but then Xia Chen and Guo Ran robbed it again.
Watching the treasures they painstakingly prepared be snatched away, their hearts bled as they cursed in anger.
"Idiot, robbing you means you think highly of you, so just secretly laugh!" After Guo Ran finished snatching it, he looked utterly disdainful and said.
"Secretly happy?"
The expert was nearly driven mad by anger. He pointed at Xia Chen and Guo Ran and shouted angrily, "If you've got guts, leave your names." "
No way, I'll drive you crazy!" Guo Ran was about to recite a poem, but Xia Chen interrupted.
After all, they still have to keep harvesting leeks. If they find out Long Chen has returned to the Chaotic Star Sea, other trading companies might immediately transfer their treasury.
If they don't reveal their names, they might still be able to continue harvesting. If they reveal their identities, there will be no more leeves left to harvest.
"Just you wait. Our Longteng Trading Company is not to be bullied." The elder of Longteng Trading Company roared angrily.
Unfortunately, as a third-tier Realm King powerhouse, he was powerless to resist in front of Guo Ran and Xia Chen, and could only watch helplessly as the two of them laughed and joked as they moved the treasure vault away.
The two robbed along the way, and by the time they reached the eighth house, they came up empty-handed, and then missed again and again.
Clearly, Longteng Trading wasn't a fool. With such continuous robberies, the method was exactly the same as Long Chen's. Other trading firms received the news and immediately took away the treasures, leaving them no chance to rob.
Not only did they fail to seize the treasure, but they were also caught by the powerful ones guarding the area. However, even these experts were only at the mid-stage Realm King and couldn't do anything to the two at all.
Thus, Xia Chen and Guo Ran became wanted criminals by Longteng Trading Company. This was another major piece of news following Long Chen, exploding in the chaotic star sea.
People were both shocked and amused. Previously, Long Chen had swept through the entire Chaotic Star Sea, looting every Longteng Trading Company.
The storm had just passed, Long Chen hadn't been caught yet, and everything was gradually calming down. People thought Long Chen had already left, and Longteng Trading Company was preparing to reopen for business, but then two more notorious thieves appeared. What kind of sin had Longteng Trading Company committed?
"They're scared of being robbed. Forget it, don't waste your effort—let's go to Huayun Trading Company!" Long Chen knew that Longteng Trading Company would become a frightened bird in the short term, with no profit left to be made.
Long Chen took Xia Chen and Guo Ran, and through several teleportations, arrived directly at the territory of Yuzhou. Yuzhou can be said to be the safest and most prosperous and orderly state in the chaotic star sea.
Since this prefecture was governed by Huayun Trading Company, everything was orderly. Arriving in Yuzhou, Long Chen headed straight to the headquarters of Huayun Trading Company in this prefecture.
"Haha, President Qifang, long time no see. You look even more impressive than ever before—you're getting more and more beautiful!" Seeing Qi Fang, Long Chen laughed heartily. He felt a special sense of closeness toward the people from Huayun Trading Company, and joked without holding back.
"Mr. Long Chen really knows how to compliment people. I'm an old lady, yet I actually feel overjoyed.
Last time Mr. Long Chen parted, there was no news from him. Qi Fang has been deeply concerned. How have you been lately? Qi Fang said with a smile.
"Not bad. Thanks to you, I made a little money and planned to sell it here with you... Ahem, quietly making a little deal. Long Chen almost blurted out the word 'stolen goods.'
Although Qi Fang knew that the things Long Chen had didn't come from good sources, Huayun Trading Company was an honest business, and saying 'selling stolen goods' was a kind of insult to Huayun Trading Company.
As Long Chen spoke, he introduced Guo Ran and Xia Chen to Qi Fang, and asked Xia Chen and Guo Ran to submit a list himself. These were all things they urgently needed.
At the same time, Xia Chen and Guo Ran took out all the treasures they had looted along the way. They kept all the usable items for themselves and planned to clear out the unusable ones and dispose of them all.
Qi Fang had previously helped Long Chen handle these items and had experience in this area. She didn't say much, just smiled slightly, had everyone count all the treasures, and began instructing the people below to help gather the items needed for the two of them to take attendance.
However, collecting treasures isn't something that can be done in just a day or two. Long Chen greeted Qi Fang, then led the two of them out of Yuzhou, heading straight for the Wine God Palace.
When they arrived at the Wine God Palace and looked at its buildings, Guo Ran and Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion, their eyes filled with nostalgia.
"I wonder how the family is doing!" Seeing the Wine God Palace, Guo Ran thought of the Tianwu Continent and his family, and his eyes reddened, and so did Xia Chen.
"Don't worry, they'll definitely be living better than we do. There's no need to worry. When we brothers stand atop the Dao, we'll truly be able to reunite with our families. By then, there will be no more war, no more sorrow." Long Chen patted the two on the shoulder and said.
The two nodded. They had heard from Long Chen that everyone on the Tianwu Continent was alive. They had arrived in a new world, a world even better than the Tianwu Continent.
However, at this moment, they were in the Immortal Realm, like floating duckweed, missing their loved ones in the mortal realm even more.
Once inside the Wine God Palace, Long Chen felt as if he had returned home. He smiled warmly to the disciples of the Wine God Palace and introduced his brothers to them.
The disciples of the Wine God Palace were also very enthusiastic toward Guo Ran and Xia Chen, and this enthusiasm made them feel especially at home.
Because the disciples of the Wine God Palace have a genuine enthusiasm for them. Their eyes are calm and indifferent, and they won't value or belittle you just because of your cultivation, status, or background.
Their eyes seem to see right through a person's heart, and they are all open-hearted people. Sometimes, a single glance feels like meeting a soulmate.
Here, far from the turmoil of the Immortal Realm, in this pure land, one can let go of all defenses and desires, breathe freely, and the feeling is indescribably relaxed. As soon as Xia Chen and Guo Ran arrived, they fell in love with this place, wishing they could live here forever and never leave.
When Long Chen arrived, many disciples from the Wine God Palace eagerly invited the three of them to taste wine. They knew that although Long Chen couldn't brew wine, he was a master wine expert. However, Long Chen politely declined.
"Brother Long Chen, you're finally here! If you don't come soon, I'll have to come find you. Great news is coming—if you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Long Chen hadn't even arrived at Xia Guhong's residence yet, but he had already heard his voice. Xia Guhong was already waiting for him at the door.
