To Long Chen, killing Xiao Lang, and then giving Xiao Lang's Beast Soul to them was no different from farting.
Frankly speaking, these guys' disregard, and the way they looked at him like he was an idiot, had long since angered Long Chen. Long Chen knew that the last laugh was the best, but before that, he didn't mind showing them that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Faced with Yu Tao's overbearing demand, Long Chen's tone was a little cold, and he said, "That's impossible. Xiao Lang has gone through fire and water with me many times, and is my sworn brother. How could I let him be your third brother's Source Beast Soul?"
Long Chen's direct refusal made Yu Tao, and even the members of the Heaven Wolf Gang, feel a little embarrassed. In their eyes, Long Chen was a living, living, pitiful worm, and now, this pitiful worm actually dared to hoot at them. This was purely seeking death.
To be honest, before they submitted to the Ninth Prince, they were all bandits who killed people like flies. It was only because they were concerned about the Ninth Prince's reputation that they became more restrained. However, this didn't mean that they could be provoked by Long Chen.
"The Beast Soul of a Demonic Beast is very important to my third brother. Long Chen, are you sure you don't want to give it to him?" Yu Tao said coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ninth Prince was here, with his strength at the fifth level of the Heavenly River Tier, he would have already charged over and slapped Long Chen.
"If I want this brat's life, will you give it to me?"
Long Chen wasn't afraid of him at all. He pointed at the youth at the third level of the Heavenly River Tier who had spoken just now, who was also Yu Tao's second brother.
Long Chen's words also expressed a message. To him, Xiao Lang was like a real brother, or even closer than a real brother.
"Seeking death? You mean, you want to fight with me?"
Long Chen's condescending finger made the young man so angry that he sat up from his chair. He didn't say anything and was about to charge at Long Chen.
"Yu Chong, sit down," the Ninth Prince said calmly.
Since the Ninth Prince had spoken, he had no choice but to return to his original position. Although he didn't dare to move again, the fierceness in his eyes towards Long Chen grew stronger and stronger.
Yu Tao, didn't you want the beast soul of an Earth Rank Demonic Wolf? I'll send someone to find one tomorrow. Let's just leave it at that. No one is allowed to find trouble with each other and ruin the harmony. Do you understand? You are all my Immortal Realm Divine Guards. If you don't get along with each other, I, Lin Cangtian, will lose face. "The Ninth Prince's words became colder and colder.
If you don't get along, you'll lose my face. "The Ninth Prince's words became colder and colder.
They originally thought that Long Chen didn't have any status, but now it seemed that he did. However, when they saw Lingxi's unhappy expression, they realized that the real reason why the Ninth Prince was angry was that they had made Lingxi unhappy.
"It seems that His Highness is going to put in a lot of effort for this beautiful woman. Miss Lingxi obviously likes this useless Long Chen. The Ninth Prince is different from a common person like me. He wants not only the person, but also the heart. If we cause trouble for Long Chen now, it will only make Miss Lingxi hate His Highness. That was close." After thinking for a while, Yu Tao understood this point.
"If that's the case, we brothers will take our leave first. We'll come back tomorrow to take Long Chen away."
After this incident, Yu Tao was worried that his hot-tempered subordinates would cause more trouble, so he had to leave with them.
The Ninth Prince was about to nod, but he heard Long Chen suddenly say, "Wait."
The Heavenly Wolf Gang was stunned. They were about to get up from their chairs, but under the signal of the Ninth Prince, they had no choice but to sit back down.
"What's the matter?" The Ninth Prince asked curiously.
"I've thought it through. Since we're going to fight side by side in the future, we're brothers, right? If a brother needs something, I naturally can't be stingy. However, Xiao Lang and I have many years of feelings, and it's not easy to part with each other. I can give it to you, but you have to promise me something." Long Chen smiled faintly as he looked at the Heavenly Wolf Gang.
"What is it?"
Long Chen was suddenly a little confused. Yu Tao was a little confused. Just now, Long Chen was as sharp as a hedgehog. Why did he think it through now? Yu Tao was afraid.
"It's very simple. If he can defeat me, I'll give this demon wolf to you with both hands."
Long Chen's gaze was sharp. His finger circled around, and finally stopped on Yu Tao's second brother, Yu Chong.
Everyone was stunned, and then began to laugh involuntarily. The one called Yu Chong laughed the most miserably.
Yu Tao held back his laughter, and patted Yu Chong's shoulder as he said, "Second Brother, stop laughing. Quick, let the guests from afar see what kind of extraordinary methods the heroes of our Heavenly Wolf Gang have."
"Yes, Big Brother. I'll perform to your satisfaction."
Yu Chong forcefully held back his laughter, and said. Long Chen's words really surprised them. They had originally thought that Long Chen was a thorn, and slightly difficult to deal with. When Long Chen stated his conditions, everyone finally realized that he was actually a stupid donkey who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
The members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang were so powerful that they could almost challenge those at a higher cultivation level. Long Chen, a country bumpkin who had just reached the second level of the Heavenly River Tier, actually declared that he wanted to challenge him.
This was the biggest joke they had heard today. Even Yu Tao, who had a mature mind, couldn't help but laugh.
"Bastard, we are all warriors under the command of His Highness. You should be merciful and not overdo it. Don't hurt the harmony between us," Yu Tao pretended to reprimand him sternly.
"Of course."
Yu Chong finally stopped laughing. He looked at Long Chen with great interest. He wondered how Long Chen's brain had grown to be as stupid as a donkey's.
The Ninth Prince and Elder Yan, who was behind him, exchanged a look. The members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang laughed, but they didn't.
With his understanding of Long Chen, Long Chen definitely wouldn't act so arrogantly just because he was angry. The Ninth Prince was clear about Long Chen's deeds. From entering Origin Spirit City as a nameless nobody to killing Origin Spirit City's strongest expert, Emperor Yuan. In Origin Spirit City, Long Chen was a legendary person.
The Ninth Prince didn't believe that Long Chen had no other purpose.
Sure enough, at this moment, Long Chen continued, "Since this is a gambling battle, I have already put up a stake. You guys should also put up some stakes to make this battle fair. Logically speaking, you are all my brothers, so I believe you won't mistreat me, right?"
The members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang thought about it and agreed. Of course, they didn't think that Yu Chong would lose. Yu Tao said casually, "Kid, what you said makes sense. Of course, we won't mistreat you. What do you want? Sky River Pill, Earth-grade divine weapon, combat skill, or spiritual medicine. As long as you say it, we can find it for you."
In their opinion, Long Chen probably didn't even know what an Earth-grade combat skill was. That was why he dared to say this so unscrupulously.
Long Chen had no interest in their things. At this moment, he turned his head to look at the Ninth Prince and said directly, "I want the Refined Fire Essence above this study. I wonder if Your Highness can part with it."
His eyes sparkled as he looked at the Ninth Prince.
He was the real reason why he wanted to keep the Heavenly Wolf Gang here.
When Long Chen made his request, the members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang were stunned, looking at each other in dismay.
They didn't expect that Long Chen would make such a request. This was something that belonged to the Ninth Prince, it had nothing to do with them. No matter how arrogant they were, they wouldn't dare to use something that belonged to the Ninth Prince as a gambling stake.
"That won't do. This belongs to His Highness. Long Chen, say something else." Yu Tao said impatiently.
Long Chen didn't reply. His gaze was fixed on the Ninth Prince.
"Fine."
The Ninth Prince's calm face finally revealed a smile. "Since Long Chen has requested it, I'll join in the fun. After all, this is my territory and you are all my capable subordinates. Since Long Chen wants the Refined Fire Essence, I'll treat it as a wager for Yu Chong. I'll also be your witness. If Yu Tao wins, Long Chen will have to hand over the Demon Wolf. If Long Chen wins, the Refined Fire Essence will be yours."
Long Chen smiled.
He knew that the Ninth Prince would agree.
Most of the battles were just psychological games. He had guessed correctly that the Ninth Prince wanted to see his battle with Yu Chong so that he could understand him better. Therefore, he directly demanded an exorbitant price and asked for the fire essence, which the Ninth Prince agreed to.
"If that's the case, we thank Your Highness."
Yu Tao nodded gratefully at the Ninth Prince. Then, he looked at Yu Chong and said, "Second Brother, you know what to do, right? If His Highness loses something, I'll cripple you."
"Big Brother, don't worry. Don't you trust me?" Yu Chong rubbed his palms together and looked at Long Chen excitedly.
"Chen …" Lingxi was a little worried.
"Sit down and watch how I bully the bad guys."
Long Chen stood up and lowered his head. His mouth was right next to Lingxi's face. Then, with lightning speed, he kissed Lingxi's jade-white cheek.
Being kissed by him in public like this, Ling Xi immediately blushed to her ears. She lowered her head, wishing that she could find a hole in the ground to hide in.
Long Chen's action caused a cold killing intent to flash across the Ninth Prince's eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Tao lowered his head and said to Yu Chong, "His Highness is angry. He's going to be ruthless."
"Understood." Yu Chong rubbed his fists and licked his thick lips with his scarlet tongue.
"Long Chen, follow me out of this study." After saying this, Yu Chong took a step forward.
There was an empty space outside the study, and it was enough for him to fight with Long Chen.
Following him, Long Chen held Lingxi's hand and walked out. The others also came out one after another. With the Ninth Prince in the lead, they surrounded Long Chen and Yu Chong.
Xiao Lang saw all this. He raised his head and glanced at Huo Lianjing, who was on the roof. A sliver of gratitude and satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
He knew that it wouldn't be long before this would be his. Aside from Lingxi, no one understood Long Chen's abilities and talent better than he did.
"Third level of the Heavenly River Tier."
Frankly speaking, Yu Chong was even more powerful than Emperor Yuan. Moreover, he was not that old. In terms of cultivation and age, he was basically about the same as Long Chen. He should be considered a top genius. However, Long Chen was not afraid of him.
"Let's begin," Yu Chong said excitedly.
