Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan held hands, having just learned the dance the Butterfly Spirit Clan had taught them. Following their rhythm, Yu Qingxuan danced together, as happy as a child.
Without a childhood, she felt for the first time that people can be so trusted, so harmonious, and so relaxed.
Most importantly, so many people around him are so pure, each soul as pure as a blank sheet of paper, able to shed all defenses and disguises. This feeling is truly moving.
But just as she was immersed in a dreamlike world, a shout startled her awake from a beautiful dream.
"Eunuch Wei."
Soon, Yu Qingxuan saw Eunuch Wei, his face furious and ashen, staring at her coldly.
The rhythm was instantly disrupted. The girls of the Butterfly Spirit clan, who had been singing and dancing, also stopped singing, staring in astonishment at Eunuch Wei, who wore a fierce expression, and even some of the Butterfly Spirit clan girls were so frightened they stepped back.
Yu Qingxuan hurriedly withdrew her jade hand from Long Chen's palm. During this time, she had almost forgotten about Eunuch Wei. Now, when he suddenly appeared, Yu Qingxuan felt like a child who had made a mistake, feeling a bit at a loss.
Previously, she had forgotten about Eunuch Wei, and of course, also forgot that she was a princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire. Being with the girls of the Butterfly Spirit clan, she felt like a butterfly, carefree playing among the flowers, fully enjoying the sunshine and rain.
Now, with the appearance of Eunuch Wei, all dreams have been shattered, and everything has been brought back to reality.
Long Chen saw Eunuch Wei, especially his old face wrinkled like a crotch. Long Chen really wanted to slap him to death. This person was truly annoying.
"Your Highness, you are the princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire. How can you disregard dignity like this? To treat someone of low status with such intimidation—where will you place the face of the Vermilion Bird Empire? If the Emperor found out, where would his dignity be saved? Eunuch Wei said sternly.
Yu Qingxuan was like a little girl who had made a mistake, head bowed and silent, her obedient demeanor evoking sympathy.
"Eunuch Wei, this matter is ...," Long Chen couldn't help but say.
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk to me?" Eunuch Wei shouted sternly.
"Clang!"
The Minghong Blade was drawn, and a chilling killing intent shot up into the sky. In that instant, the world changed color, and the violent pressure made the void roar. The moment Long Chen drew his blade, people could even see an invisible killing intent forming a transparent ripple that swept in all directions.
When the ripples covered them, all the powerful figures present, regardless of cultivation, felt their hair stand on end. In that instant, they seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Long Chen's killing intent moved even Divine Venerable realm experts.
"Such terrifying killing intent! How many lives has this person slain? The killing intent was starting to squeeze the Heavenly Dao. A Divine Venerable realm expert exclaimed in shock.
Legend has it that when one person slaughters too many living beings, it makes heaven and earth uneasy. When his killing intent blossoms, even the heavenly will be oppressed, and no one dares to resist.
But that was all just legend; no one in reality had ever truly witnessed it. So when Long Chen's killing intent burst forth and people saw the radiating murderous aura, they were all shocked.
"You damn eunuch, I've put up with you for a long time. Can you repeat the fart you just said?" Long Chen pointed his Minghong Blade at Eunuch Wei, furious to the heavens. This eunuch humiliated him again and again, but he paid it no mind.
But seeing him scold Yu Qingxuan like this, Long Chen's anger finally exploded. His furious killing intent locked onto Eunuch Wei. If he dared to act recklessly again, Long Chen would kill him today.
"You..."
Long Chen's long blade pointed at him, his violent killing intent locked onto him firmly. Eunuch Wei never expected Long Chen to enter such a terrifying state in an instant.
At this point, it was too late for him to enter combat mode. With Long Chen's killing intent locked onto him, any movement would trigger a strike from Long Chen's Minghong Blade.
Although he was a half-step Divine Sovereign expert, Long Chen had the upper hand, putting him at a disadvantage and not daring to move.
"Long Chen, I was the one who made the mistake first. Please don't make things difficult for Eunuch Wei, okay? I'm begging you." Yu Qingxuan saw the murderous intent surging in Long Chen's eyes and knew he was truly furious, fearing he might actually kill Eunuch Wei.
Yu Qingxuan also knew that Eunuch Wei had gone too far. Long Chen had such a status. Previously, he had always targeted Long Chen, but Long Chen had endured it all along. He really thought Long Chen was easy to bully, but now he was deeply embarrassed.
Seeing Yu Qingxuan plead, Long Chen took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his anger. He couldn't ignore Yu Qingxuan's words.
Long Chen slowly withdrew the Minghong Blade, but the killing intent in the world lingered for a long time, showing that Long Chen's heart still burned with rage.
Seeing Long Chen withdraw his long blade, Eunuch Wei's face remained extremely grim. Being pointed at by a junior was the greatest humiliation of his life.
"Eunuch Wei, I'll do my best to cooperate with you and not make things difficult for you, but I hope you won't embarrass me either. Let's go!" Yu Qingxuan said coldly, her disgust toward this Eunuch Wei as well, and her tone was no longer polite anymore.
After speaking, Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen, gave an apologetic smile, and bowed to the Butterfly Spirit Clan members who had been frightened and hiding in the distance before leaving.
"Long Chen, right? If you survive in the Three Thousand Worlds, come to my Vermilion Bird Empire in the future. I'll show you how to be human." Eunuch Wei looked at Long Chen, his eyes filled with a hint of sinister sinisterness.
"I will go to the Vermilion Bird Empire. I won't teach you how to be a person, but I will teach you how to be a ghost." Long Chen replied coldly.
As for this Eunuch Wei, if Yu Qingxuan hadn't pleaded for him, he would have killed this dead eunuch with a single stroke. This man was so despicable, and now he was even threatening him.
"Hmph, we'll see, young man."
Eunuch Wei snorted coldly and followed behind Yu Qingxuan. Long Chen quickly notified Xia Chen's side, telling the disciples of the Great Xia Empire to leave at once, lest Eunuch Wei see them and vent all his anger on them.
After all, they weren't princesses and would become Eunuch Wei's punching bag. Yu Qingxuan was smart and deliberately walked in the opposite direction from Xia Chen's side to buy them some time.
A perfectly good ball was just thrown into chaos. Long Chen looked at the beautiful woman and said,
"I'm truly sorry for causing you trouble. Thank you for your kindness. From now on, whether in the Three Thousand Worlds or elsewhere, if you need help, just say the word and go through fire and water without hesitation."
"You flatter me, benefactor." The woman hurriedly said.
Long Chen gave the frightened girls an apologetic smile. What was supposed to be a good ball had been ruined by that dead eunuch, leaving everyone both frustrated and frustrated.
Just as Long Chen was about to go check Xia Chen's place, a sudden tremor occurred above the Ninth Heaven. Long Chen thought another powerful figure had descended, but instead, a massive portal appeared above the Ninth Heaven.
"The Three Thousand Worlds are about to open."
Someone exclaimed in alarm, and the powerful figures inside Purple Flame Heavenly Capital all stood up at once.
