From the Star Demon Prison until now, Long Chen's accomplishments today were partly due to luck, but the uniqueness of being a dragon martial artist was a bigger part of it. His own tenacity and intelligence were also a part of it.
After listening to Long Chen narrate his experiences during this period of time, Ling Xi had a soul-stirring feeling. She had said that she wouldn't sleep, but what could she do about a mortal's body? If she didn't have a good rest, it would be impossible. Therefore, in Long Chen's story, she fell into a deep sleep.
Before dawn the next day, Long Chen ran to the servant girls' rooms in the Jade Palace and gathered a full set of women's clothing. He didn't care if Lingxi needed it or not. He took a large pile and came back for Lingxi to choose for herself. There was no girl who wouldn't be interested in the matching equipment of these girls. Finally not having to wear Long Chen's baggy men's clothing, Lingxi was very excited. She gathered her courage and kissed Long Chen's face lightly.
Long Chen and Xiao Lang waited outside the door.
After a while, the door opened gently. Lingxi, who had changed into neat clothes, caused Long Chen's eyes to light up. These clothes were for a servant girl and were not luxurious, but when worn by Lingxi, it was different. Lingxi wore a long brocade dress that was moon-white and light pink.
The skirt and sleeves were embroidered with silver threads, and the sleeves were thin with light yellow patterns. The skirt was embroidered with large purple yang flowers and looked very beautiful. A pink and white belt was tied around her waist, accentuating her well-proportioned figure. Strange patterns were densely distributed on the belt. She wore a pair of shoes embroidered with lilies, with soft fox fur sewn around the edges. There were jade ornaments on the sides, small and exquisite. Her jade-like white wrists wore two silver bracelets, which gave off a pleasant sound when she raised her hands. She wore tassel earrings, and her silky black hair casually fell to her waist. She wore only a few stars of milky white pearl necklaces that contrasted with the black luster of the clouds. Long Chen felt that she was a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world. He was even more dazzled and admired her.
"Chen …" It was the first time that she had dressed up in front of Long Chen, so Lingxi did not have much confidence. At this time, she walked in front of Long Chen and looked at Long Chen charmingly. She asked, "Do I look good?"
"As beautiful as a fairy," Long Chen said subconsciously.
"Really." Lingxi was as happy as a little butterfly. She twirled her body, causing her skirt to dance.
"This is the sunlight …" She raised her head and squinted at the sky.
"Don't be silly. These belong to you. Let's go see the Ninth Prince now."
Long Chen smiled. He held Lingxi's white fingers and walked toward the Ninth Prince's temporary imperial residence. At this time, Lingxi looked around. Under Long Chen's protection, she was like a little princess.
Xiao Lang followed behind them bitterly. From today onwards, he would be officially ignored.
Lingxi noticed the little fellow following behind. After listening to Long Chen's description, she knew that the Sun Devouring Direwolf was indeed very terrifying. Moreover, the soul of the Sun Devouring Direwolf was actually that Mo Xiaolang's soul. Back in Baiyang Town, Lingxi knew Mo Xiaolang. Moreover, she heard that Mo Xiaolang had been going through fire and water with Long Chen. In Lingxi's heart, she also treated Xiao Lang as her little brother.
"Chen, he calls me sister-in-law." Lingxi giggled, her face slightly red.
Long Chen looked at Lingxi and Xiao Lang. After Yang Lingqing left with Li Xuanji, the two of them were the most important people to him. Long Chen swore in his heart that he would protect them for the rest of his life.
Of course, Xiao Lang had the Sun Devouring Direwolf's fortuitous encounter. His future growth might not be any worse than Long Chen's.
Two people and one wolf. In the eyes of outsiders, there were only two people. Mo Xiaolang had now become Long Chen's pet, accompanying Long Chen by his side. They would probably be fighting for a long time.
When he was halfway there, the Ninth Prince had already sent someone to receive him. The guard saw Lingxi next to Long Chen and was shocked. Lingxi was like a fairy from the legends, pure and noble. She made people feel ashamed of their inferiority and couldn't have any thoughts of profanity.
Soon, Long Chen arrived at the Jade Emperor Hall. In front of the Jade Emperor Hall, Long Chen saw the Ninth Prince's mount, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. This Profound Grade Nine demonic beast quickly took a few steps back after smelling Mo Xiaolang's eerie and terrifying aura. It whimpered to show its submission.
Normally, when a demonic beast became a tamed beast, the ferocity in their bones had been worn down. In front of a peerless demonic beast like the Sun Devouring Direwolf, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon didn't dare to be rash.
In the Jade Emperor Hall, the Ninth Prince was already waiting. For this trip to Yuan Ling City, all the manpower and resources of the Jade Imperial Palace were provided by the three factions. Now, only the Ninth Prince and Old Yan would be leaving Yuan Ling City.
After Long Chen arrived, the Ninth Prince was about to say that they would depart. However, when he saw that there was a beautiful little beauty next to Long Chen, the Ninth Prince was completely stunned. His eyes stared at Lingxi.
"This is my wife, Lingxi. It should be fine for her to follow me to Bi Yang Imperial City," Long Chen said.
Lingxi was too beautiful. Even the Ninth Prince's gaze was a bit off, so Long Chen had to say this. "Peerless beauty, devastatingly beautiful. You really have good fortune. I was rude just now." Interrupted by Long Chen, the Ninth Prince looked away and smiled at Long Chen.
After being interrupted by Long Chen, the Ninth Prince shifted his gaze and looked at Long Chen with a smile. "Peerless beauty, devastatingly beautiful. You really have good fortune. I was rude just now."
The Ninth Prince's gaze made Lingxi uncomfortable. She held onto Long Chen's arm and hid behind Long Chen.
"From now on, you will settle down in Bi Yang Imperial City. Of course, you have to bring her along. There's no time to lose, let's depart now."
The Ninth Prince nodded and no longer looked at Long Chen and Lingxi. He walked straight ahead. Long Chen held Lingxi's hand and followed him onto the broad back of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon.
From here to Bi Yang Imperial City, there were many high mountains and deep valleys. The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon could fly, so these high mountains and deep valleys had no effect on it. However, they had a huge effect on Xiao Lang. So even though Xiao Lang's speed was faster than the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, he had no choice but to follow Long Chen and step on the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon.
The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon was afraid of Xiao Lang and was trembling. Old Yan comforted it for a moment. Only then did the demonic beast realize that the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf would not harm it. Only then did it dare to open its huge wings and prepare to hurry on.
A huge wind rose, and Long Chen instantly followed them to the sky above Yuan Ling City. Because Lingxi was afraid of the cold, Long Chen had to take out the bedding from his Qiankun Bag and wrap it tightly around Lingxi. Then, he used his body to block the wind and held Lingxi in his arms.
This way, Lingxi felt a little better.
"Bear with it, we will reach Bi Yang Imperial City soon." Long Chen lowered his head and said in her ear.
"It's okay, Chen. With you hugging me, I feel very warm." Lingxi said with a smile.
In terms of heat, Xiao Lang's body was incomparable. So, Long Chen stretched out his hand and pressed him into Lingxi's arms to warm Lingxi. Of course, there was a thick quilt between them.
The pitiful Mo Xiaolang could only look innocently at Long Chen. His gaze made Lingxi giggle.
While the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon was moving forward, the Ninth Prince turned his head back and saw this scene. Then, he silently turned back and looked ahead with calm and cold eyes.
"Your Highness." Old Yan seemed to understand his thoughts.
"There's no hurry. If it's mine, it will be mine. No one can take it away," the Ninth Prince said vaguely.
Time slowly passed. Lingxi was weak, but with Long Chen's meticulous care, she didn't fall sick. The heat on Xiao Lang's body was very useful. The Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf was of the fire attribute. If Xiao Lang didn't release the Nine Hell Demonic Ancestral Flame, his body would be burning.
The rays of the sun were constantly gathering towards the wolf cub.
"Chen, I always feel that this trip to Bi Yang Imperial City will be very dangerous. The Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit in Ni Yang's Wonderland will probably be very difficult to get," Lingxi said with some worry.
There were many experts in Bi Yang Imperial City. Long Chen would be nothing there. Of course, it would be dangerous.
"Don't worry. With pressure comes growth. When I first went to Yuan Ling City, my strength hadn't taken shape yet. But in Bi Yang Imperial City, other than being weaker than others in terms of cultivation, I'm not worse than others," Long Chen said firmly.
Indeed, in terms of Earth Rank, he already had the Thunder Flame Battle Body at the third level, the Blue Dragon Battle Technique at the middle level, the Nine Spinning Fire Shield at the middle level, and the Divine Fire Clone at the high level. Moreover, the Blood Refining Qi and other abilities that belonged to dragon warriors were as abnormal as before. Even the Soul Devouring Demonic Pupil that he got from Li Xuanji started to play a role.
Moreover, Long Chen now had the peerless demonic beast, Xiao Lang, as a helper.
"No matter how deep the water in Bi Yang Imperial City is, the three of us have to go and explore it. While we're still young, let's do it hard," Long Chen said with a smile.
In Bi Yang Imperial City, there were some super powerful forces. Long Chen could see a corner of this Bi Yang Imperial City from the Ninth Prince. Long Chen estimated that even if he and Xiao Lang joined forces, they would still be far from being a match for the Ninth Prince.
At this time, Lingxi suddenly raised her head and said nervously, "Chen, just now Xiao Lang told me that he felt that the Ninth Prince's gaze was somewhat malicious."
She also knew that the current Ninth Prince, Long Chen still couldn't resist, so she was a little flustered.
Actually, Long Chen knew about this. A simple look could betray a person's thoughts. The relationship between the Ninth Prince, Lin Cangtian, and him was more of a business transaction and exploitation. It was impossible for them to be brothers of life and death.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Long Chen rubbed the back of her head and said.
Time gradually passed. The Ninth Prince once said that with the speed of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, it would take a total of five days to travel from Yuan Ling City to Bi Yang Imperial City. Very soon, five days had almost passed. At this time, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon had already begun to slow down and gradually flew at a lower altitude. Long Chen could now clearly see the scene below. It was a lush green forest, and in the forest, there were some crisscrossing rivers and mirror-like lakes.
"We're almost there." The Ninth Prince said.
At this time, a black light suddenly rushed into the sky from the side and attacked the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon.
