No matter what disasters have passed, the sun rises every day as usual, its peaceful and harmonious light seeming to be the best healing medicine.
Sunshine, hailed as a gift from heaven, is a blessing from the heavens. It is the most selfless giveaway; as long as you want it, it will give it to you.
Long Chen lay on a bare hillside, completely ignoring the dust on the ground, lazily basking in the sun.
"Long Chen, you really are exactly the same as you were on the Tianwu Continent. Luckily, the Immortal Realm is big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for you to mess around." Zheng Wenlong sat beside Long Chen, unable to help but sigh.
He felt that the Seventh Academy's completion celebration had been yesterday. Upon arriving here and seeing the devastation, he could hardly believe his eyes.
"Life is about struggling. If you don't toss, you're wasting your life. It's just like running a business—if you don't toss, how can you make money?
But this time, you don't need to worry. Right now, I have money and treasures. You just need to help me gather supplies." "With my eyes closed, I enjoyed the warm sunlight, speaking casually.
The crisis at the Seventh Academy was resolved, the Sea of Demons had calmed, the passage to the Demon Realm had disappeared, the gates of the Undying Realm were closed, and everything in the Tianlan Domain had returned to normal.
Now that the rain has passed, although rebuilding Lingxiao Academy still requires considerable manpower and resources, Long Chen is not short of money.
"Alright, then let's keep messing around. I really have to thank you this time. There are quite a few forces in the Tiandu Star Domain who contacted us and purchased a huge amount of pills.
Moreover, the trading company credits all these achievements on me, and my authority is growing accordingly. You can rest assured about the academy's reconstruction. Zheng Wenlong said.
Long Chen nodded, pondered for a moment, and finally handed over all the Jianmu Divine Fruits to Zheng Wenlong.
Zheng Wenlong was startled; these Jianmu Divine Fruits ranged from second to ninth rank, and their value was immeasurable.
With this, Zheng Wenlong figured out the real issue and felt even more moved. Long Chen had given him so many fruits, which was like sharing a shocking secret with him.
Zheng Wenlong put away the fruit and left directly. After he left, Long Chen lay on the dirt, growing increasingly lazy from the sun, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. He didn't open his eyes, but his nose was filled with a strong fragrance—he already knew who had arrived.
"It's nice to have more people and get some sun. Are you afraid I'll get tanned?" Long Chen opened one eye and looked at Bai Shishi, who was sitting beside him, holding up a paper umbrella.
Today, Bai Shishi unexpectedly changed into a white long dress, like a dehydrated lotus—noble and pure, elegant yet exuding grandeur.
"You're already tanned enough. Whether you get tanned or not makes no difference. I just don't like the sun."
Bai Shishi sat beside Long Chen, but instead took out a delicate animal skin mat, unlike Long Chen, who lay directly on the dirty floor.
"Sunshine is the most selfless; it never withholds its warmth, but no matter how abundant the sunlight is, there are corners it cannot reach. Sometimes, we need to actively change our perspective and let the sunlight in... "Ouch..." Long Chen said, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his waist.
"Are you twisting the way to insult me? Are you secretly dark?" Bai Shishi glared and said.
"Wow, this is okay?" Can you be reasonable? I'm talking about us, not just yourself. Long Chen said somewhat irritably.
Seeing Long Chen so angry, Bai Shishi suddenly burst out laughing, her white teeth revealing like flowers in full bloom, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
Long Chen's heart stirred. Bai Shishi was already beautiful, and even with that smile, even Long Chen's earlier anger would instantly vanish. Beautiful things easily make people forget their worries.
Long Chen quickly turned his face away, avoiding Bai Shishi's gaze. Bai Shishi couldn't help but ask, "Why are you feeling guilty?" "
Guilty my ass, don't use your beauty to seduce me. Let me tell you, Third Master, I don't buy into soft or hard tactics, but this is the only trick I have." Long Chen said irritably.
"Pfft"
Bai Shishi couldn't help but laugh. Long Chen had spoken with righteousness before, but in that last sentence, he revealed his true nature—and so confidently—that it made everyone chuckle.
Meihuo may seem like a rather crude term, but in fact, it's a disguised compliment of Bai Shishi's beauty.
Although Bai Shishi was naturally beautiful and had the charm of all, she didn't care about others' praise. It was just that she really enjoyed hearing Long Chen's compliments.
"You know? Am I a bit angry? Bai Shishi said.
"You're still angry? Can you order that ... What... "
You pinched me, and you're still mad?" Long Chen wanted to ask if he could have some shame, but for a woman, it was a bit too abrupt, so in the end, he swallowed his words.
"Of course I'm angry. You're so strong yourself, yet you didn't tell me. Thinking about how I once ... I'm so embarrassed, you liar. Bai
Shishi's face flushed red. She remembered the last time she held Long Chen's hand and said that even if she was stronger than him, she would try to listen to him. Now, thinking back, she was both angry and shy, feeling utterly cheesy.
Back then, after Bai Shishi went through the heavenly tribulation, she had absorbed part of the Golden Sword's master's inheritance, and her strength had skyrocketed to a level she couldn't even imagine, thinking she would far surpass Long Chen from now on.
To avoid upsetting Long Chen's heart, he said those words that day. He hadn't expected Long Chen's combat power to be so terrifying in this battle, even killing Galo in the end, terrifying everyone.
"This one?" Besides, what's the big deal? I'm really not as strong as you. In the end, I was able to kill Galo only because of that divine weapon. If you had that weapon, you could have killed Galo too. Long Chen said calmly.
"Long Chen, what kind of divine weapon is that? Can you show me?" Bai Shishi asked curiously.
"Of course you can, but you absolutely must not touch its sharp parts with your hands." Seeing no one else around, Long Chen carefully handed the dagger to Bai Shishi.
"Why is this seemingly ordinary dagger so powerful?" Bai Shishi looked at it for a long time but couldn't find anything different, so she returned the dagger to Long Chen.
Long Chen put away the dagger and recounted how he had discovered it and nearly been killed by it. He didn't know the origin of the dagger, but he knew it was the most terrifying weapon he had ever encountered.
On Galo's armor, blessed by a divine lord, ordinary Realm Kings couldn't even get close. The fact that this dagger could ignore the armor's defense showed just how terrifying it was.
"Long Chen, what are your plans next?" Bai Shishi asked.
"Once the academy is built, I might leave Ming Haotian to go out and handle something very important."
At this moment, a scene appeared in Long Chen's mind. In the image, there was a mirror. In that mirror, Long Chen saw countless points of light, each carrying the same aura as himself.
