Lingxi's final plea made Long Chen's heart ache.
He gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "I don't want today's decision to make me regret it for the rest of my life. As a man, I will give you everything you need. Little Xi, say no more. Please believe in my promise to you. If I don't appear in front of you within ten years, just treat it as if I'm dead."
Ten years.
Lingxi cried.
Ten years of life and death. For her, could Long Chen really do this?
Treading a thousand mountains, traveling ten thousand miles, killing gods and demons in his way. Wandering between life and death countless times, all for the sake of holding her hand again.
"If you don't find me within ten years, I will kill myself." Lingxi looked at Long Chen with a resolute gaze and said word by word.
"Scram! Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and refine it for me." Long Chen said angrily.
Lingxi gritted her teeth and hesitated one last time. Under Long Chen's sharp gaze, she finally chose to believe Long Chen.
She knew that she was lucky.
Long Chen took out the jade box containing the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit and opened it. He then placed the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit on the ground with Lingxi's soul beside it. This scene was exactly the same as when Lingxi refined the Mysterious Sky Jade Lotus. However, that time was fake. This time, Lingxi would have a real body. She could even quickly recover her original strength.
After refining the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, she would return to the time before she was dismembered by Lingxi's sword.
At that time, Lingxi thought that she was dead for sure. Who would have thought that she would meet Long Chen? After experiencing so many things, she finally obtained the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit and obtained a chance at rebirth.
Now that she thought about it, it really did feel like a dream.
"It has begun..."
Outside, it was raining heavily and the entire world was dark. In the room, the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit emitted a dreamy light, completely enveloping the room in a dreamland.
Compared to the fragrance of the Mysterious Sky Jade Lotus, the fragrance of the Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Fruit seeped deeper into the soul. Standing to the side, Long Chen felt as if he was bathing in a pool of Spiritual Qi. His whole body felt comfortable, and even his True Qi was slowly increasing.
At this time, Lingxi's body turned into a white mist and gradually entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Fruit. Long Chen saw Lingxi's final look. She was still thinking about how she couldn't bear to part with it.
"That's right. A girl should have a strong body. If you were like a lonely soul wandering with me, Long Chen, what would that be?"
Long Chen sighed in his heart. He eliminated all the distracting thoughts in his mind and admired Lingxi's rebirth as though he was appreciating a piece of art.
At this time, Lingxi had completely entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Fruit. The Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Fruit began to have a spiritual energy. Soft moans could be heard coming from the Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Fruit. It sounded like Lingxi was crying. Long Chen's eyes turned red as he listened.
Today, he forced the girl to do this. He thought it was for her own good, but who knew what would happen in the future?
The pure white Nine-Heavens Immortal Spirit Fruit looked like a ginseng. After Lingxi entered, the Nine-Heavens Immortal Spirit Fruit started to transform from a fruit into a sparkling, pure white ball of water that looked like milk. However, it was glowing with a sparkling light.
Within this ball of water, Long Chen seemed to see Lingxi's beautiful face flash by continuously.
As time passed, the ball of water rippled and gradually expanded. Soon, it turned into a white cocoon of light and was placed in the middle of the room. Strands of light that looked like ribbons twined around the white cocoon of light and fluttered.
On the surface of the cocoon of light, clear runes appeared. These runes were mysterious and powerful, and vaguely revealed the sharpness of a sword.
Long Chen knew that Lingxi's family was a true swordsman.
One by one, the runes began to shine within the cocoon of light, gradually forming the shape of a whirlpool. In the pure white light, Long Chen's face also looked as white as milk.
At this moment, Long Chen's heart was filled with excitement, bewilderment, and admiration. All sorts of emotions were intertwined together.
Suddenly, the whirlpool began to expand and turn into a shadow. Immediately after, Long Chen realized that the spiritual energy in the surroundings was actually being devoured by the white cocoon of light. This was an extremely large amount of absorption. Long Chen could feel countless mysterious energies that were beyond his control brushing past him and being devoured by the white cocoon of light.
"Little Xi's strength is actually this strong?"
Long Chen had no idea how strong Lingxi had been before she had lost her body. However, from the looks of it now, she was definitely an existence that the current Long Chen would never be able to touch.
Lingxi had always said that she didn't do proper work and rarely cultivated. If she was able to reach this realm, it was obvious how terrifying the power behind her was.
Time gradually passed.
In Long Chen's heart, he was getting more and more expectant. In any case, it was a good thing that Lingxi had recovered her body. As for other matters, the boat would cross the bridge when it came to it. Just like what Long Chen had said, he would definitely achieve it within ten years.
Soon, it was midnight. Long Chen had already lost count of how much energy Lingxi had absorbed.
When Lingxi truly woke up, given her strength, she would probably be able to defeat Long Chen easily. At this thought, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He only had one thing to rely on, and that was his identity as an Ancestral Dragon Martialist.
The Ancestral Dragon was the pinnacle existence of the ancient Draconic Sacrificial Continent.
It was already midnight, and Lingxi was almost successful. At this moment, the white cocoon of light gradually cracked open. A rich pink light was emitted from the cocoon, and a rich fragrance assailed his nostrils. Long Chen widened his eyes and stared blankly at the person curled up in the cocoon of light as she gradually stretched her body.
This wasn't the first time that Long Chen had seen Lingxi's beauty. However, at this moment, when the girl broke out of the cocoon and was reborn, that beautiful moment was deeply engraved in Long Chen's mind. He swore that he would never forget this scene in his life.
Lingxi was the most beautiful woman in the world. In Long Chen's heart, she was second to none.
At this moment, in the pale pink light, Lingxi gradually stretched her body and floated in front of Long Chen. Just like the previous time, she was naked. However, Long Chen didn't have any evil thoughts in his heart. He stared greedily as though he was admiring the most beautiful work of art at this time, afraid of missing any details.
Her skin was soft and smooth like jade, her cherry lips were tender and red, and her eyebrows were like crescent moons. Her hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall. Her shoulders were round and smooth like pearls. Her twin peaks were as white as the most beautiful mountain peaks in the world. Her waist was so slender that it could not be grasped. Her arms were long and slender like a lotus root. Her legs were so white that they reflected the light. Her ankles were perfectly round and graceful …
All of this, to Long Chen, was the most beautiful work of art.
At this moment, there were no blasphemous thoughts in his heart, only satisfaction and gratitude. This was because he knew that through his hard work, he had finally succeeded. Now, Lingxi could finally be a real person. She had truly been reborn.
Looking at Lingxi like this, Long Chen suddenly felt that no matter what kind of suffering he would encounter in the future, even if he had to pay with his life, he felt that it was all worth it.
Not only because of her beauty, but also because of Long Chen's deep love for her.
In the past, when he was a hedonistic son of a rich family in Baiyang Town, he wandered around the world of mortals. The unrestrained Long Chen had never known what love was. However, when he clearly saw Lingxi standing in front of him with a perfect body, Long Chen realized that he understood.
To the current Long Chen, love was giving and protecting.
Surrounded by the warm light, Lingxi was like a blooming white lotus, appearing in front of Long Chen. She was pure and holy without losing her tender beauty, a heavenly beauty that could cause the downfall of a city.
And under Long Chen's infatuated gaze, Ling Xi gradually opened her spirited eyes. Her eyes abruptly burst forth with two sharp rays of sword light, and a faintly discernible sword-shaped rune flickered within them. Then, it very quickly quietened down.
Very quickly, her eyes regained their liveliness and clarity, like a clear lake, gently rippling.
The moment Lingxi opened her eyes, two streams of hot tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
When she felt the warmth of her body, Lingxi knew that the two of them had embarked on a thorny path of no return.
Lingxi remembered that a long time ago, when Long Chen had just arrived at the Lingwu family, he had touched Lingxi's soul with his fingers and told her softly, "I want you to have this warmth."
And today, Long Chen had finally done it.
It was as though they had been separated by ten or even a hundred years. Their eyes met each other just like that. There was a saying that went, 'when you look at each other, there are no words to say, only a thousand streams of tears will flow'. Ling Xi had truly experienced this. At this moment, the only thing she could do was to cry non-stop.
Of course, Long Chen would not cry. His heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction, because this was the result of his hard work.
"Chen..." At this moment, Lingxi called out softly. She gently bit her pink, translucent lips, and a trace of determination flashed in her lively eyes. Then, her petite body appeared in front of Long Chen in an instant. She boldly stretched out her arms and pulled Long Chen into her embrace.
Lingxi's strength was so great that before Long Chen could react, his face had already collided with two lumps of white, soft flesh and was deeply buried. A suffocating fragrance assaulted his nostrils, teasing Long Chen's heartstrings. In an instant, Long Chen felt that his body had already become hot.
But what was Lingxi doing?
"Chen-gege, I've made up my mind. Why did Liu Lan, that woman, give herself to you? If I were to leave you, given how outstanding you are, there would definitely be many, many women by your side. I'm afraid you'll forget me. So today, I'll give myself to you. This Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit is yours, and my body is also yours."
Lingxi moved closer to Long Chen's ear and said in a trembling voice.
Long Chen's breath was all over her chest. In fact, she was already feeling weak all over.
