The girl looked puzzled, feeling that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Seeing Long Chen hand over the talisman, she handed him one thousand Immortal King Crystals.
Yu Qingxuan was laughing uncontrollably behind Long Chen's back. She knew she couldn't laugh now, or it would be undermining Long Chen, but she really couldn't hold it in.
Long Chen put away the thousand Immortal King Crystals. Seeing the girl about to leave, he called out to her, took down another talisman from the stall, and handed it to her:
"My stall is running a promotion right now. Buy one get one free. Buy the Earth-Burrow rune and get a substitute talisman. Congratulations, girl."
"Wow, am I really that lucky? Thank you. The girl was thrilled, took the talisman, and thanked Long Chen repeatedly before leaving.
"This is a losing business! With a substitute talisman of this quality, I doubt it would cost at least five thousand Immortal King Crystals to buy it." Yu Qingxuan smiled. She knew a bit about talismans.
Watching the girl leave, Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head: "There's nothing I can do. In this world, there are always a group of people who are so foolish it makes you feel sorry for them." Long
Chen wasn't exactly a pushover, but when he met such a fool, he always felt he was trying to make money off her. He felt uneasy, and if he didn't give her something, it felt a bit strange. Fortunately, he didn't run into such fools every day; otherwise, no matter how much wealth he had, it wouldn't be enough to fail.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Long Chen suddenly noticed that Yu Qingxuan was looking at him with a somewhat strange expression.
"You are actually a good person, a very, very good person." Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen and spoke softly.
"Hehe, I love hearing that, especially when you say it. I love it even more. Why don't you say it a few more times?" Long Chen chuckled.
Yu Qingxuan also smiled, her beautiful eyes fixed on Long Chen: "You're a kind person, why would you turn into a demon because of me?" Long
Chen knew that the demon he was referring to was the one he had when his inner demon erupted last time in the Heavenly Fire World.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I absolutely won't allow anyone to hurt you. Whether good or bad, as long as I can protect you, I don't care about anything." Yu
Qingxuan smiled sweetly, showing her neat teeth and eyes full of happiness. She said,
"Long Chen, do you know?" I only recently recognized my father. I always thought my parents had long since passed away and that my master raised me.
It wasn't until the events in the Heavenly Fire World ended that my master revealed my origins and led me to meet my parents. Only then did I realize I was actually the princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
Not only do I not know, even in the entire Vermilion Bird Empire, very few people know. But I don't know why they gave birth to me and then sent me away immediately.
I was raised by my master, and I am very grateful and respectful to him, but for some reason, I can't feel the warmth of family in them.
My master is the head of a sect, my father is the ruler of a nation. They carry an air of lofty authority, which makes me feel awe—so reverent that I want to keep my distance.
I have always been kind to others, but I have never made a true friend. They also fear me, worship me, approach me—either to listen to my sermons or to obtain my elixirs.
Only when I'm with you do I feel free and especially relaxed, you know? In this world, you are my only friend. Long
Chen looked into Yu Qingxuan's eyes with tenderness, and that look instantly touched the softest part of Long Chen's heart.
Because on the Tianwu Continent, the look in Yu Qingxuan's eyes when she died in his arms was almost exactly the same as she was now.
Unconsciously, Long Chen's tears slowly fell. She was who she was, absolutely not wrong. Although time and space were chaotic and some things didn't match, Long Chen was certain they were the same person.
The woman who loved him for a thousand lifetimes, every time trying to awaken his devoted devotion, finally found her.
Long Chen had told him before, 'She is Yu Qingxuan, and Yu Qingxuan is her,' but he never dared to be certain. But today, seeing the look in her eyes now, Long Chen's heart finally settled.
"I finally found you." Long Chen choked up as he spoke.
"You... Why are you crying? Yu Qingxuan was a bit flustered, took out a handkerchief to wipe Long Chen's tears.
"I... I'm happy to be your only friend, I'm ... So happy. Long Chen said.
He didn't want to tell Yu Qingxuan about the past now. He owed her too much. He didn't want her to carry burdens because of the past. He wanted to use his own strength to make her fall in love with him again, not to use the shackles of the past.
"Wipe your tears clean, or people will think I'm bullying you. The youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy is actually a crybaby." Yu Qingxuan smiled, saying Long Chen should wipe it himself, but in reality, she was helping him wipe away his tears.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Normally, when facing enemies, I only bleed, but when facing those closest to me, I also shed tears, because in front of you, I don't need to pretend." "
Hey, kid, how much do you sell this?"
Long Chen was talking with Yu Qingxuan when suddenly a man with a face full of fierce flesh walked over boldly, pointing at a talisman and shouting loudly.
"Get lost!"
Long Chen was getting sentimental, but the man was so indifferent, Long Chen shouted coldly.
The man was furious, but after just one look with Long Chen, his hair stood on end, and he was so scared he didn't even dare make a sound and left.
"You're so fierce. How are you supposed to do business like this?" Yu Qingxuan covered her mouth and laughed.
"I'm not cut out for business anyway. Robbery is my main job. That guy clearly isn't a good guy and can't be bothered to make money from him." Long Chen explained. In fact, he wasn't short of money at all; he just wanted to have a good chat with Yu Qingxuan.
"Young man, how much is this talisman sold?" A little girl with a ponytail walked over. Seeing a talisman, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.
"Take it away, it's free!" Long Chen waved his hand and said.
At first, the young girl thought Long Chen was joking, but when he gave her the talisman and drove her away, she realized it wasn't a joke.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the girl is pretty just gives her away for free! Yu Qingxuan said with a smile.
"That young girl is from the Spirit Clan. Although I don't know exactly which clan she belongs to, I really like people from the Spirit Clan. When I was in danger, the Spirit Clan helped me many times. How could I bear to accept her money?"
Long Chen shook his head, suddenly glanced around, and quietly said, "Mainly, these talismans weren't carved by me. I don't feel bad about giving gifts from others." Long
Chen's winking made Yu Qingxuan giggle sweetly. Suddenly, the nameplate at her waist lit up, and her expression changed instantly:
"Not good, our people are in trouble."
