Long Chen immediately understood—Mo Nian didn't even know the person at all, and had dragged him in to get food and drink, only to be discovered.
He was fine, but he had run off alone. With so many people watching, Long Chen wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
But Long Chen was truly clever, quick-witted. Hearing the newlywed man's question, Long Chen sighed and looked at the woman with affection, saying, "
Since you asked, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I've secretly liked your wife for a long time..."
As soon as Long Chen said this, everyone present turned pale, Everything's changed—causing trouble at someone's wedding banquet—that's a huge grudge.
The newlywed woman's expression also changed. She didn't know Long Chen at all, but Long Chen said,
"Let me put it this way: since I'm here, I never intended to leave alive. The woman I love has been taken away, and there's no point in living anymore. I originally planned to settle this with you after the wedding banquet ended."
But I see you two are so close, and you're more handsome and more skilled than me. I really can't compare to you. I feel like you two are truly a perfect match.
Forget it, I won't hold it against you anymore. You stole the woman I secretly liked. I'll eat you a meal and grab a plate of braised pork knuckle. Let's settle it here." Then
Long Chen swaggered boldly, carrying a plate of braised pork knuckle to the front of countless astonished gazes, walking and eating as he went. The people around him didn't make things difficult for him.
"Whoa, is this okay?"
When Long Chen came out, Mo Nian was waiting for him outside the door. Seeing Long Chen so easily resolve the awkward situation, he was stunned himself.
"Do you have something important to do?" You, the future master of Wuliang Palace, actually come out to scam food and drink—don't you have some shame? Long Chen said irritably.
"Tch, my master told me, in life, you must never care about your dignity, or you'll suffer a big loss. Let's go, go take down the next one." Mo Nian said nonchalantly, speaking as she pulled Long Chen toward another banquet spot in the distance.
"Forget it, I'm not going. I don't have a big appetite. This plate of pork knuckle is enough for me. You go ahead, I'll wait for you." Long Chen munched on his pork knuckle, mumbling indistinctly. He definitely didn't want to be tricked by this guy again.
"Alright, wait for me a bit. I didn't eat enough just now, so I'll fill up a bit more and come back. If I get caught, I'll do it your way too." After saying this, Mo Nian headed straight to another house.
Long Chen was speechless for a moment, but thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel envious. At least Mo Nian still kept his childlike innocence, which meant he was living carefree and carefree—he had the means.
...
There were many banquets held here. Mo Nian arrived at a relatively lively spot, saw people busy offering toasts, so she picked a random seat, didn't care who it was, and just sat down to eat.
"Hey, kid, who are you?"
Mo Nian had just taken a few bites when someone noticed him, looking at him with a hostile expression.
"Me, cough, cough, I came all this way just to congratulate you. I wish your family a day every year, and a happy day every year..." Mo Nian imitated Long Chen's expression, smiling broadly.
But he noticed that before he could finish, the faces of the people here changed, their eyes bloodshot, murderous intent soaring to the sky.
"This is a funeral banquet. You want us to have this day every year, and this day every year?" A Divine Venerable realm expert said through gritted teeth.
Only then did Mo Nian notice a memorial hall in the distance, with a large character '奠' hanging on it. Mo Nian's mouth hung wide open.
...
Long Chen had just finished his pork knuckle when he saw Mo Nian running over looking flustered. Long Chen couldn't help but ask, "
Are you full this fast?"
"You damn bastard, if you've got guts, don't run."
Immediately after, Long Chen saw countless powerful figures charging behind Mo Nian, their faces twisted with rage, shouting and cursing, as if they wanted to bite Mo Nian to death.
Seeing the situation turn bad, Long Chen and Mo Nian quickly fled. This was Haotian City, no use of force. In the end, those people only symbolically chased for a while before returning.
"What did you do? Flirting with the bride? Long Chen said somewhat speechlessly, "How did things get so complicated?"
"Forget it, let's not even mention it."
Mo Nian originally wanted to explain, but felt that if he did, Long Chen would probably laugh his teeth out, so he simply stopped talking.
Mo Nian didn't complain about not being full either. He took Long Chen around, and soon saw many buildings bearing the names of the Dragon Blood Legion, along with the name of the palace Mo Nian had rented.
Mo Nian chuckled and said, "I spent a fortune to buy these locations, and I've almost bought every prominent spot in Haotian City. As soon as the Dragonblood Legion sees them, they'll definitely come to gather immediately."
Using this method, I have contacted more than seventy Dragonblood Warriors. I believe that as time goes on, more Dragonblood Warriors will gather here. If they come here, they will definitely see the messages I publish. "
Long Chen nodded. This way, anyone from the Dragon Blood Legion who came here would definitely see these messages. Mo Nian was truly thoughtful.
Mo Nian took Long Chen to watch these scenes to reassure him. He understood Long Chen's feelings and knew he really wanted to see these old brothers.
Originally, Mo Nian wanted to take Long Chen around to see if he could buy him anything he needed. Now, Mo Nian was clearly a wealthy tycoon, as if he had endless money on him.
However, Long Chen still refused. He wanted to go into seclusion for a few hours, because it was time to activate the fifth star. Only after activating the fifth star and allowing his body to adapt for a period could he activate the sixth star, and then finally achieve the full state of the seven-star battle body.
After returning to the palace, he found that Jiang Lei and the others had not yet woken up. Long Chen went straight into seclusion, where there was a luxurious retreat area. After three hours, Long Chen finally activated the fifth star.
With the Five Stars activated and purple energy rising, Long Chen's aura grew deeper and sharper.
When Long Chen emerged from seclusion, to his surprise, three more Dragon Blood Warriors had come looking for him through the announcement Mo Nian had released.
At this moment, Jiang Lei and the others finally woke up. Long Chen directly distributed the Heavenly Dao Fruit to everyone. Seeing them eat the fruit and instantly become Supreme-level prodigies, Mo Nian's eyes nearly popped out.
"Brother, do you have any extras?" Don't forget the son of the Mohist family. Mo Nian said with a look of envy.
"You found a Mo family disciple too?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Only a little over three thousand people have been found. The cultivation site has already been arranged. I'm thinking about ...," Mo Nian said a bit embarrassed. Clearly, he knew Long Chen's treasure was extraordinary, and couldn't help but want to win some for his own brother.
"It's nothing. Your Mo family brothers are my brothers. What the Dragonblood Warrior has, you must have too." Long Chen patted his chest and said, "Is this thing still going to be lacking?"
Mo Nian was overjoyed. Three days later, Long Chen had pushed through the stars with all his might and finally activated the sixth star. With this, he was just one step away from activating the Seven-Star Battle Body.
However, at this moment, the six-star battle body was already more than ten times stronger than before, giving Long Chen immense confidence.
At this moment, just as Mo Nian had predicted, countless people poured into Haotian City, and Dragonblood Warriors returned from all directions. Now, there were already more than five hundred Dragonblood Warriors.
Long Chen equipped each of them with suitable Heavenly Dao Fruits, and over five hundred people all advanced to the Supreme Level Genius.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a formation disk on Long Chen lit up. Long Chen was overjoyed: "Guo Ran and Xia Chen have appeared." "
