Li Ziling looked at the indifferent young man, and felt as if she were dreaming. The first time they had met was back in the Lightning Flame Mountain Range. Back then, Long Chen had taken advantage of the fact that she had used up all of her true energy suppressing the Thunderflame Crystal Soul to attack her. It had been a very shameless act, but he hadn't been very strong. Now, Long Chen was like her grandfather, someone she could only look up to....
The gap in her heart was too big.
Li Ziling had always been proud of her beauty and strength. She thought that there were very few people in the world who could match up to her. But at this time, in front of Long Chen, he did not even look at her. She felt a sense of grievance, and her confidence suffered a serious blow.
"Bastard, you think you're so great just because you've become stronger?"
Li Ziling had an impulse to skin him alive, but she did not dare to do so, or she would definitely be the one to die.
Now in Yuanling City, because of the existence of the heaven-defying guy, Long Chen, the two biggest forces were destroyed by him. The Morning Light Business League was celebrating, and it was time for them to rise. At this time, the god of plague, Long Chen, actually came to them. How could they not serve him well?
In the magnificent reception hall of the Morning Light Business League, Long Chen was placed at the top. Li Ziling was a little dissatisfied with this position, but when she thought of Long Chen's current strength and status, she could only shut her mouth and obediently stand behind Long Chen.
After Long Chen sat down, he went straight to the point and said, "Alliance Master Li, I don't have any other intentions today. I just want to talk about a deal with you."
"A deal."
Li Wudi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a deal. If Long Chen opened his mouth and asked for other things, it would be very difficult.
"I wonder what kind of deal Long Chen wants?" Alliance Master Li asked with a face full of smiles.
"This is my payment to you." Long Chen took out a Cosmos Sack and placed it on the table.
Li Ziling rolled her eyes at the Qiankun bag. In her opinion, Long Chen was just a poor guy from a small place. He definitely wouldn't have anything good, so she didn't care at all.
"This is?" Guild Master Li asked curiously.
"Twenty Heaven River Pills are enough for your Morning Light Business League to produce a Heaven River Tier cultivator in the future."
As he spoke, Long Chen looked at Li Ziling. If he was right, the twenty Milky Way Pills would definitely be used on Li Ziling.
"What?"
Li Wudi and the other two were shocked. The one who was shocked the most was Li Ziling. She had already broken through to the Late Heavenly Core realm, and in a few years' time, she might have the chance to break through to the Heavenly River realm and become one of the strongest warriors in Yuan Ling City. However, she was still lacking Heavenly River Pills. If she really had twenty Heavenly River Pills, her problem would be solved.
She looked at Long Chen with shock and gratitude.
"There really are twenty Milky Way Pills here."
Li Wudi couldn't believe it. In his opinion, although Long Chen had become an Immortal realm Divine Guard, it would still be difficult for him to take out so many Milky Way Pills.
"Guild Master Li, you can open it and have a look." Long Chen said.
Li Wudi took the Cosmos Sack and opened it. Sure enough, there were twenty Milky Way Pills inside. When he looked at this young man who had risen to fame recently, he felt a little dazed. Unknowingly, this young man's cultivation and wealth had surpassed the entire Morning Light Business League.
"Indeed, there are twenty Milky Way Pills. May I know what young friend Long Chen wants from us?"
Guild Master Li asked in a serious tone. Twenty Milky Way Pills, it seemed like what Long Chen wanted from the Morning Light Business League was not something simple.
Li Ziling looked at Long Chen with a doubtful expression. "Actually, it's very simple.
I'm going to Bi Yang Imperial City soon, and I have many enemies in Yuan Ling City. But, my family in Baiyang Town doesn't have the power to resist them. Therefore, I hope that the Morning Light Business League can send at least two Heavenly Core warriors to guard Baiyang Town. If any Milky Way warriors attack my family, both of you will have to help as well. How about it, Guild Master Li, you don't have to worry. Since Emperor Yuan is dead, the Beast Soul Palace won't have any Milky Way warriors left. As for the Lingwu family, they are bound by the agreement, and with the supervision of the Ninth Prince, they won't stoop so low as to attack my family. Therefore, you only need to send two Heavenly Core warriors to guard Baiyang Town, and these twenty Milky Way Pills will belong to the Morning Light Business League. "
Not only did the Morning Light Business League make a profit from the deal Long Chen mentioned, it was a huge profit. With Long Chen's current reputation, after Long Chen left for Bi Yang Imperial City, no one would attack Baiyang Town. What the Morning Light Business League needed to do was to send two Heavenly Core warriors to have some fun.
"In short, as long as you can guarantee the safety of my family members in Baiyang Town, these twenty Milky Way Pills will belong to you." Long Chen repeated.
Li Wudi and Old Ying looked at each other.
They could understand Long Chen. Long Chen was a mighty warrior now, but even a mighty warrior would be burdened by his family. Long Chen was about to leave for a long journey, and if some small fries targeted his family members, it would be a huge problem. That was why Long Chen came to the Morning Light Business League.
First, Long Chen was doing this out of filial piety, there was no other reason for him to do this. Secondly, it was actually an easy task for the Morning Light Business League, and it could be done by anyone. Thirdly, it would be a great reward. Fourthly, they could also make friends with Long Chen, a genius who would become a stronger warrior in the future.
This was a great opportunity that came knocking on their door, and the Morning Light Business League had no reason to reject it. Therefore, Li Wudi immediately smiled and said, "I understand. My young friend Long Chen, I'll definitely handle this matter beautifully, so that you won't have to worry about anything when you leave for a long journey."
He paused for a moment and thought for a while, then he said, "We'll send three Late Heavenly Core warriors, ten Early Heavenly Core warriors, and some Earth Core and Mortal Core warriors to Baiyang Town. We'll protect the town, and the Yang family will be treated as our honored guests. If there are any stronger enemies, Old Ying and I will fight them as well."
"Thank you, Alliance Master Li."
Long Chen was satisfied with Li Wudi's arrangement. Finally, he had solved the problem of Baiyang Town, and Long Chen had nothing to worry about.
What he needed to do next was to bring Xiao Lang to Bi Yang Imperial City, and bring Lingxi to Ni Yang's Celestial Realm to look for the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit.
"I wonder when Little Xi will wake up. When she wakes up, she'll be able to use the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus. At that time, hehe …" Thinking about how if Lingxi had a physical body, she would definitely be a beauty like Li Xuanji, and with the relationship between Long Chen and Lingxi, it would be normal for him to take advantage of her.
Thinking about Lingxi, Long Chen left the Morning Light Business League under the escort of Li Wudi and the others. The sky was getting dark, and Long Chen was going to follow the Ninth Prince to Bi Yang Imperial City.
"Everything has been arranged. Let's go, Xiao Lang, to the Jade Emperor Palace," Long Chen said lightly.
Xiao Lang let out a low roar. He was now in the state of a little beast, and when he roared, his voice was babbling, and his row of white teeth looked very cute.
This would be Long Chen's last night in Yuanling City. Starting tomorrow, he would go to the center of Cangyang Kingdom, Bi Yang Imperial City.
There was the royal family that ruled the world, the mysterious and rich Ni Yang's Celestial Realm, Xiao Lang's enemies, and the hope of Lingxi's recovery. Of course, it was also the gathering place of the experts of the entire Cangyang Kingdom, and Long Chen would be a stepping stone towards greater strength.
After arriving at the Jade Emperor Palace, a maid serving the Ninth Prince said to Long Chen, "His Highness has ordered me to take you to rest when you return. We will set off tomorrow morning for Bi Yang Imperial City."
Long Chen nodded.
Under the guidance of the beautiful maidservant, he came to a luxurious wing room.
"My Lord, His Highness said that I am a gift for you."
After sending Long Chen in, the beautiful maid took off her clothes, and soon her snow-white skin was revealed.
"Get out." Long Chen was about to leave. To be honest, he was a little annoyed.
"Yes."
The beautiful maid was relieved and left respectfully. Long Chen lay on the big round bed, buried his head in the soft pink quilt, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
His mind was completely immersed in his memories.
"I didn't know that Chen is so obedient."
A clear voice suddenly rang in Long Chen's ears. Long Chen remembered that this beautiful voice belonged to Lingxi even in his dreams.
"I'm hallucinating."
Long Chen was a little depressed. He changed his position, but he was still annoyed because he found that he seemed to miss Lingxi. He didn't know how that silly girl was doing now.
"Chen, let Lingxi out."
Long Chen, who was lost in thought, heard this voice again. This time, he was so shocked that he jumped up from the bed. Xiao Lang, who was lying under the bed, was also shocked.
"Little Xi, you're awake."
To Long Chen, this was news that was enough to make his blood boil. He didn't care if it was an illusion or not, and immediately opened the Cosmos Sack. Instantly, a black sword light flew out. Long Chen rubbed his eyes hard, and to his astonishment, he saw Ling Xi's tiny body, which was not even two centimeters tall, standing on top of the Ling Xi sword.
Xiao Lang also looked at this little person in surprise. Although he hadn't heard Long Chen talk about it, Xiao Lang knew that Long Chen had always had a girl who looked even more important than him by his side …
"Chen …" When she saw Long Chen, tears welled up in Lingxi's eyes.
Both of them had thought that they wouldn't be able to survive that upheaval in the Star Demon Prison. Lingxi had died for him, but Long Chen had followed in Lingxi's footsteps and jumped into the abyss of the Star Demon Prison without hesitation, risking certain death. Only they knew how rare it was for them to meet each other today.
Long Chen could tell that Lingxi had matured a lot after experiencing so many things. She was no longer the girl with a weird temper and the temper of a little princess. Long Chen gradually saw serenity and calmness in her body and in her eyes, as well as responsibility and tenacity.
"Little Xi …" Long Chen realized that his voice was choking up as he looked at this silly girl. He thought of many things he wanted to say to Lingxi, but right now, it was like there was a rock stuck in his throat. He couldn't make a sound.
Parting in life and death, looking at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears.
