Chapter 539: Chapter 525: Undercurrent Chapter 539: Chapter 525: Undercurrent Ling’er sighed and said, “It’s not quite appropriate for us to get married at this ti.” She knew that the Third Demon might seize the opportunity of tomorrow’s wedding to cause trouble.
“Hey, don’t worry, it’s just one day we’re talking about,” Ye Chen said with a slight smile.
“You always keep things to yourself, never telling anything.”
“No, I’m not hiding anything, really. We’re prepared. At most, the Third Demon will stir up so trouble. There shouldn’t be any major disturbance,” Ye Chen thought in his heart, as long as the Third Demon didn’t ally with Yang Jing’s group, he wasn’t worried.
“I feel like you’re becoming burdened with concerns again.”
“No, you’re misunderstanding.”
“I know. We still haven’t received any news from Dragon Slayer Island. The situation remains unknown. You’re worried, and I… all I can do is fret helplessly. I can’t assist you in any way.”
Ye Chen gave another smile, “Don’t think about anything else. Just prepare to dress beautifully tomorrow and beco my bride. Everything will work out.”
Ling’er also chuckled softly.
“Have you dreamt about this scene before?” Ye Chen asked out of curiosity.
Ling’er laughed, blushing a bit in the process.
“Certainly, I believe you’ve seen this scene in a dream. Your smile has already told ,” Ye Chen said, looking at her.
Ling’er sighed deeply, “It’s a sha my father can’t witness this.”
“Don’t dwell on it. I believe he would be delighted to see us together,” Ye Chen said.
Still holding Ye Chen’s hand, Ling’er added, “Actually, I don’t ask for much. A simple life, just the two of us being happy, living in this city for the rest of our lives, would be rather nice.”
“Mhm, just wait and see. As the future lady of Wasteland City, I may not be able to make this place splendidly brilliant, but I’m certainly determined to make it as solid and unyielding as it used to be,” Ye Chen said confidently.
Ling’er looked up at the sky, “As long as I’m safe and sound, whether or not I’m the lady of the city doesn’t really matter.”
Ye Chen chuckled, “You shouldn’t be satisfied so easily.”
Ling’er shook her head, “Honestly, having gone through all of this, a simple life does seem rather nice.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself,” Ye Chen reassured, reaching out to pat her head.
The sky was gradually turning more and more crimson. A setting sun spread across the horizon, its glow falling onto them and lengthening their shadows.
All was quiet.
A few canaries hopped from branch to branch in the trees, as if they were dancing.
“It’s a sha about my legs. Otherwise, I could have been of so help to you,” Ling’er glanced at her own legs.
“Don’t think like that. We have many people in Wasteland City. Everyone helps each other. You just need to sit back and relax.”
“I’m afraid that if this continues, you’ll end up turning into a lazy pig that only knows how to eat.”
Ye Chen laughed, “How can that be? You’re my excellent advisor. Had it not been for you convincing the people of the Immortal Demon world to join us, we wouldn’t have been able to defeat Gua Zhengnie, thereby turning the tide. So, you’re really important. Your value will only show at key monts; others may not see it, but I can.”
“You’re not very sincere when you give complints.”
“Really, it’s extrely impressive. Unlike , you’re right. I’m usually flippant and careless in handling matters. I don’t like to ask others for help. But you, you’ve got a broad vision.”
“Don’t praise too much. I’m well aware of my own ability.”
Mu Wanlan ca in with the food just then.
Ye Chen stood up, “Alright, after dinner, I’ll take you for a stroll on the streets. I’ll show you what Wasteland City has beco.” He hadn’t taken her out for a while because of the many things that he had to deal with.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanlan retorted, “You should’ve done this earlier. All you ever think about is the matters of New City Sect. I’m the one who’s been keeping Ling’er company. Tomorrow’s the wedding, and you still don’t think of spending quality ti with her.”
Ye Chen nodded, “I accept your criticism. I should be spending more ti with Ling’er. I’ll definitely spend more ti with her in the future.”
“Don’t just talk about it. Actions speak louder than words. No matter how much you say, it’s not as practical as actual actions.”
Ye Chen gave a slight smile, hurriedly moved to help serve the dishes.
“Co on, after eating, I’ll take you to West Lake.”
Ling’er said, “It’s been a long ti since I’ve been to West Lake.”
“That’s why we should go. We could even go fishing at night.”
“I wonder if your Liuye Manor has been destroyed or not.”
Wan Lan chid in, “No, it’s strange. Sky Lake Manor was destroyed, but Liuye Manor remains unscathed.”
“That is indeed weird,” Ling’er comnted, feeling sowhat lanting.
Ye Chen laughed, “Co on, let’s eat quickly and then I’ll take you to have a look around and help you relive so mories.”
“Develop your feelings more,” Mu Wanlan said.
“Alright, I’ll also give you ti to build your relationship with Kong Sha in the future.”
Mu Wanlan blushed at his comnt, embarrassed.
Ling’er laughed.
Sky Domain City, plunged completely into darkness.
Yuan nhai was finalizing his plans for the following day, asking, “How many disciples from the New City Sect are in Tianle City?”
Ming Bei replied, “About five hundred, defended by Jiang Zhuge and Ming Qi. Looks like they’re worried we might use tomorrow’s opportunity against them.”
Yuan nhai asked again, “How many disciples do we have gathered now?”
Xiao Bai said, “Excluding those remaining in Sky Domain City, we’ve gathered over 1,200 disciples.”
Zun Yu asked, “Should we bring all these disciples to Tianle City? Won’t our defenses here be too weak? I heard there are mbers of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
However, Yuan nhai explained, “Little brother, what you don’t realize is that if we sent too few people, the New City Sect wouldn’t take it seriously. They might think Jiang Zhuge could resist us and not act. We must make them believe that’s the case, otherwise, they’ll think we’re just playing gas.”
Zun Yu nodded slightly.
“Destroying Tianle City won’t be a major blow to the New City Sect, which isn’t our goal. Our intent is to annihilate the New City Sect’s power of regeneration. We need to force that kid Ye Chen out.”
Xiao Bai agreed, “The Alliance Leader is right. The ti, place, and people are all on our side now, plus we have the help of Mitra Monk and his people. If we lose this opportunity, we might alert the people of the New City Sect. That kid is very cautious, it won’t be easy to handle him in the future.”
Zun Yu comnted, “Absolutely, it must be done in one go, so they won’t recover.”
Yuan nhai stated, “This ti, we’re playing for real and must end it all at once.”
“Alright then.”
Yuan nhai was compelled to act decisively, adding, “Once we defeat the New City Sect this ti around, the Wastelands will belong to us three brothers. No one can stand in our way!” He was determined to seize the opportunity and utilize the help of the Dragon Slaying Clan.
Zun Yu smirked and said, “Then enough talk, let’s just get on with it.”
Yuan nhai called, “We move at third watch, and I don’t want any delays.”
Longhun t Mitra Monk and ng Xiuluo.
Upon eting, Longhun asked, “What’s the situation now?”
ng Xiuluo had run off a while ago, she had not seen Longhun in several months. Longhun had a large group of disciples with him. Though their numbers weren’t high, they were the best from Dragon Slayer Island, even more formidable than the Army of Death.
“Yuan nhai is setting off at third watch tonight. By morning, the New City Sect should be inford. If Yuan nhai plays his cards right, they could reach here by noon tomorrow,” Mitra Monk led Longhun into the crowd.
Longhun wasn’t overly surprised.
“Is Tianle City up ahead?” Longhun asked.
“Cross over this small valley and you’ll see it.”
“Well done.” Longhun smiled and murmured, “He wants to get married without consulting ? I have to give him a wedding present.”
“Now we just need to wait, wait for Yuan nhai’s arrival, and discuss how to deal with the New City Sect’s people with them.”
They were in a forest, where it was easy to hide. They had not lit any fire out of fear the people in Tianle City might notice.
“Quite a trek, these guys coming out to the Wastelands. It’s not fun at all. I still prefer the Central Plains.” Having passed through the Central Plains from Dragon Slayer Island, Longhun found himself liking it more and more.
“I’ll bring you sothing to eat,” Mitra Monk said.
“Hey, let those kids do that. You’re not a food delivery servant.”
Mitra Monk chuckled and promptly sent his n off.
Turning his head, Longhun looked at the cheery ng Xiuluo, who had shed her tomboyish deanor and seed more shy and reserved, asking, “How have you been, Xiuluo? Found anyone special?”
Mitra Monk laughed, saying, “Don’t worry, Xiuluo only has you in her heart. You two chat. I’ll go gather the leaders,” and walked away.
The crowd dispersed until only ng Xiuluo and Longhun were left.
Gaining a bit of courage, ng Xiuluo looked back and asked, “Did you really kill Shi Yin Zun?”
Picking up a few pieces of dry wood, Longhun tossed them into the fire, appearing completely composed, saying, “Wasn’t it soone from the Demon Domain who killed Shi Yin Zun?” He was so calm and composed no one could decipher the truth from his words. He could kill without blinking.
“That little girl must be crying her heart out!” ng Xiuluo was referring to Shi Xueqin, who she knew liked Longhun.
“Who knows? Possibly.”
ng Xiuluo and Longhun t in an iron cage. At that ti, the Mutant Winged Dragon hadn’t unified the 108 islands and they were captured and brought to an island called Slaughter Island. There was an arena on the island for slaves to fight. Leaders of the 108 islands would regularly co to watch the fights, betting on their favorite gladiators or selecting capable ones to serve them.
Most of the slaves in the cage never survived. The only way to live was to kill more ruthlessly and feel less than anyone else. Longhun made his escape from that arena.
When ng Xiuluo t Longhun, they were both children. He was smarter than many and had saved ng Xiuluo, who had since followed Longhun.
“What about you? Seems like you’ve gotten tanned,” said Longhun.
“Really? I hadn’t noticed.”
“Such a beauty getting all tanned, we can’t have that. Ti to apply so face mask.”
ng Xiuluo chuckled.
Xiang Yi arrived with food.
Seeing Longhun, she was ecstatic, saying, “I’ve been hoping for your arrival every day. Finally, you’re here.”
