The Sky Spirit Court was huge, but there were only a few people inside.
Lingxiao was very careful, trying his best not to stand out. Those who were still in the Sky Spirit Court were actually arranged by the Lingwu Swordmaster to keep an eye on Lingxi.
The Sword Spirit Thearch's plan was a top priority for the Sword Spirit Thearch Palace. If Lingxiao's plan was exposed, he would definitely die. Hence, even though Long Chen was in the God Nation, he was still a little nervous.
"Relax. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to arouse suspicion." Long Chen comforted him softly.
Lingxiao was a straightforward and daring person. Hearing Long Chen's words, he relaxed a lot. He tried his best to hypnotize himself that this was just an ordinary visit.
On the way, Lingxiao met another elder.
He bowed respectfully.
"Lingxiao, you've been slacking off a lot lately. Wang Chen has already entered the Nirvana Tribulation Realm. You have to work harder too," the elder urged.
"Lingxiao understands. I'll write a reminder to Uncle-Master," Lingxiao replied hurriedly.
"Lingxi's status is special. Even though you have a good relationship with her, don't come and visit her too often. Don't do it again. Do you understand? Focus your energy on cultivation." The old man looked at him solemnly.
Only then did Lingxiao agree respectfully.
Only then did the two of them pass through the last checkpoint without any mishaps.
In reality, both of them were extremely nervous.
Long Chen felt even more depressed.
He had to be so sneaky just to see her. As a man, he had no choice but to meet her in secret.
"When that day comes, I will be open and aboveboard," Long Chen told himself.
They finally arrived at their destination. Before them was a beautiful, tranquil courtyard. The most eye-catching thing in the courtyard was a lake of snow-white lotus flowers. The fragrance filled the air, making one feel refreshed.
These snow-white lotus flowers were actually immortal essences.
The entire courtyard was bathed in the fragrance of the lotus flowers. If an ordinary person stayed in this courtyard, even if they did not cultivate, they would still live for thousands of years. Their potential would even change. Outside the Sword God Palace, they would definitely be considered a top-notch genius.
In the deepest part of the courtyard, there was a little house surrounded by flowers and grass. This was where Lingxi lived. At this moment, Lingxiao had already reached the door of the little house. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the wooden door of the little house creaked open. A young girl with a face full of excitement, pure as a snow lotus, ran out of the little house.
A gentle breeze caressed her, causing her snow-white dress to flutter in the wind. The girl's pitch-black long hair scattered down her back, and along with the gentle breeze, a pair of sparkling and translucent eyes flickered with sparkling and translucent water droplets.
As her long dress fluttered in the wind, her snow-white skin was faintly discernible. Her beautiful body was hidden under the light veil, causing one's imagination to run wild. After having a relationship with Long Chen, Ling Xi had become even more enchanting, more and more feminine.
At first sight of this young girl, Long Chen could no longer look away.
Lingxi had not seen Long Chen yet. She looked at Lingxiao anxiously and asked, "Uncle Lingxiao, Chen..."
Lingxiao shushed her, gesturing for her to stop laughing. After looking around for a while, he entered Lingxi's building and closed the door.
"Is Chen here?" Lingxi asked anxiously. Her watery eyes stared at Lingxiao.
"Damned girl, all your thoughts are on that stinky brat."
Lingxiao smiled helplessly and said, "You guys talk. Don't take too long. I'll keep watch outside. If there's any movement, I'll come in immediately. Remember, don't take too long..."
If it took too long, he really could not guarantee anything.
"I understand." After receiving the confirmation, Lingxi was unusually excited and looked at Lingxiao expectantly.
At that moment, Long Chen came out of Lingxiao's Kingdom of God.
Lingxiao moved quickly and immediately walked out of the building. He closed the simple wooden door and left the space for Long Chen and Lingxi.
Perhaps the current situation was proof of that saying.
They looked at each other without a word and tears streamed down their cheeks.
"Little Xi."
Long Chen opened his arms. He was a man, of course, he had no tears. They had not seen each other for a long time. Under such a tense situation, he had snuck in just to see Lingxi.
"Chen."
Ling Xi quietly nestled in his embrace, reaching out to hug Long Chen's sturdy waist. This familiar warmth caused hot tears to well up in her eyes. This was the kind of feeling she longed for. In front of Long Chen, she could be unrestrained and unrestrained, she could disregard everything.
The girl in his arms was undoubtedly fragile and needed him.
Long Chen pulled her delicate and delicate body into his embrace and hugged her tightly. The two of them didn't say anything and just quietly let time pass. This brief moment of being together, which they had yearned for even in their dreams, made the two of them completely forget the passage of time. In other words, they wished that time would stop at this moment forever.
Long Chen did not know that he had missed her so much until he had seen her in person.
He had too many things on his mind and it was messing up his thoughts.
In this sealed place, Ling Xi could not take a single step out, and there were also several layers of guards. She could only live in this place. It must be very miserable.
In this place, Lingxi had waited for him for ten whole years.
So, what reason did he have not to fight to the end for her?
She had given everything to him.
If he did not save her, then she would disappear forever. She would perish without a trace.
From the beginning to the end, she had always been the person Long Chen loved the most. In this life, the most unforgettable thing was the feelings they had when they were young. At that time, Long Chen was only 16 years old. The two of them were at the most ignorant age, but they had an unforgettable journey together.
When Lingxi was taken away, Long Chen swore to the heavens that one day, he would come to the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace and fulfill his promise. Today, he finally came to Lingxi's side.
No words could describe the excitement in his heart.
A simple hug had already replaced thousands of words.
Ling Xi wiped away her tears and revealed a heart-moving smile. She said resolutely, "It's time for us to start. I can't cry and let Big Brother Chen look down on me. It's been a long time since I've truly cried."
Long Chen caressed her fair face. Her flawless face was simply the most perfect masterpiece of God.
"Very good, as expected of my Lingxi," Ye Futian said with a smile.
Now that he was truly standing in front of Ling Xi, he realized that he was no longer able to say as many flowery words as he did ten years ago. He was truly rooted to the spot, not knowing what he should say. Should he make a solemn vow of undying love or say some heroic words? He was unable to say any of these things. When he saw the look of anticipation in the girl's eyes, Long Chen knew that there were some things that he could only say in his heart.
Heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. For the sake of a smile, he would conquer the world. So what if his name shocked the world?
Moreover, Long Chen did not just want her to smile. He wanted to give her an explanation. He wanted to give her a free life of her own.
Yang Chen had no freedom.
From his longing gaze and painful howls, Long Chen could feel how important freedom was to a person.
What's more, Lingxi was born to be someone else's wedding dress.
She would lose herself. She would become another person.
No matter what happened to Lingxi, Long Chen would not accept it.
He wanted to break the rules. So what if it was the Sword Spirit Emperor's plan?
"Chen, do you know how happy I was when I found out that you had arrived at the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace?" Lingxi was as happy as a butterfly among the flowers.
Long Chen smiled and stood at the side, looking at the charming girl.
As long as she was smiling, Long Chen felt that his entire gray world was filled with light.
"It's been ten years. Other than the half a year we spent together, other than the short period of warmth in the Chaotic Kingdom of God, I have never been this happy," she said seriously as she stood in front of Long Chen and looked up at Long Chen's eyes.
Long Chen was like a warrior, and she was like a princess. He protected her silently, only listened to her words, and kept them in his heart.
"Sometimes, I wonder if happiness is really so difficult."
Lingxi tilted her head in confusion. However, she had changed a lot. At least she did not cry when she said this.
"My life actually doesn't belong to me. I grew up in someone else's design. Even though they told me that after we're done, I'll still be me. It's just that my memories will be different, they don't know that this is the scariest thing to me …"
She walked up to Long Chen and held his finger. She said with some grievance, "I can hand over everything. After all, my body, hair, and skin were given to my parents. I owe them this. But my memories, the days I spent with you, those are the most beautiful things in my life. I can't do it. I really can't do it. I don't want you to live in regret in this world, facing a me that isn't me …"
Lingxi's eyes were blank.
She continued, "Sometimes, when I think about the future, I feel very afraid. I'm not afraid that I'll die, not afraid that I'll disappear, but I'm worried about you. I'm worried that you'll be hurt, worried that you'll be in pain. If I don't tell you the truth, I imagine how helpless you'll be when you've worked so hard for so long, yet you're faced with a me that doesn't have you in your memories. Every time I think about this, my heart aches.
She seemed to have a lot of things to talk about.
This woman was like his life. If she was gone, Long Chen would realize that his life would lose its color. Some things were just so precious. However, before he could do it, he did not want to make any promises in front of her. On the 15th of August, Long Chen would use all his strength and struggle to give her an explanation.
He pulled Lingxi back into his embrace, his slender fingers lightly stroking her long, silky hair.
"It's so warm. Will it belong to me forever?" Lingxi said in a daze.
Long Chen pinched her nose. He smiled but did not say a word.
"You jerk." Lingxi looked at him angrily.
Long Chen was infatuated with her pink lips. He was stunned for a moment before he kissed her.
