"Brother Long Chen, you look so beautiful in your new robe. Let Xiao He'er comb your hair, okay? "Xiao He'er saw Long Chen take off his old robe and put on a new one. He looked heroic and remarkable, his big eyes full of joy.
Long Chen's robes were all handmade by his loved ones. He treasured them deeply, and whenever there was time in fierce battles, he would change them out for fear of being torn.
But sometimes, battles come so suddenly that there's no time to change clothes, and the clothes are often damaged, and over time, they look somewhat worn out.
This time, Long Chen put on new clothes to change his mood. Returning to Lingxiao Academy was a return in glory, and he had to tidy up.
"You know how to comb your hair?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Of course I will! Come, let me try it for you. "Xiao He'er giggled, spoke as she invited Long Chen to sit down, untied his headband, and carefully combed his hair. The gesture was surprisingly quite convincing.
"Brother Long Chen, let me tell you, when I was still a little younger, just as I could transform into human form, my mother often combed my hair, and I learned it all." Xiao He'er said confidently.
"Well..."
Hearing Xiao He'er's words, Long Chen felt a chill in his heart, a very bad premonition rising from his heart.
But seeing how enthusiastic Xiao He'er was, Long Chen couldn't refuse. In the end, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and did whatever he wanted.
"Alright!"
Xiao He'er clapped excitedly, ran to Long Chen, and looked at her "artwork" with pride.
Long Chen looked in the mirror and almost burst into tears. His long jet-black hair had been braided into a bunch of small braids.
If it were just a bunch of thin braids, it would be one thing, but on the head, two pigtails with horn braids are only for girls, and they're only suitable for short hair.
But Long Chen's hair was thick and stiff, with two pigtails over a foot long, standing upright like two horns. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Long Chen almost burst into tears. With this style, could he even face people outside? Aren't you going to be laughed to death?
"What's wrong?" Brother Long Chen, don't you like it? Seeing Long Chen's expression change, the excited smile on Xiao He'er's face gradually faded, leaving her feeling somewhat at a loss.
Seeing Xiao He'er like this, Long Chen quickly forced a smile, one that looked worse than crying:
"It's okay, it's fine. When I was very little, I styled my hair like this too. This hairstyle makes me want to go back to my childhood."
What else can be said? Long Chen felt bitter inside, but didn't want to disappoint Xiao He'er, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
Xiao He'er was innocent and thought Long Chen was telling the truth. She giggled, her eyes full of pride, clearly very satisfied with her own skills.
Long Chen had no choice but to force a smile and pull Xiao He'er toward the distance. Long Chen felt lucky—luckily, he had left Lingxiao Academy to let Xiao He'er stir things up; otherwise, Long Chen really wouldn't have had the courage to come out and meet anyone.
"Brother Long Chen, your braid is so impressive. You've grown a lot taller." Xiao He'er looked at Long Chen and suddenly said with envy.
Long Chen was speechless. If he didn't know Xiao He'er was innocent, he would have thought she was just laughing at him.
"Then how about I help you tie this kind of braid too?" A wicked thought arose in Long Chen's mind.
"That's great! Thank you, Brother Long Chen. Our braids should be exactly the same." As Xiao He'er spoke, she sat on Long Chen's lap and asked him to help her braid her hair.
At that moment, Long Chen felt a bit regretful, thinking he shouldn't have treated Xiao He'er this way, but he couldn't tell her that such braids weren't pretty, or that would hurt her.
In the end, Long Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and help Xiao He'er braid her hair. As a grown man, he really couldn't do such delicate work compared to Xiao He'er. After a long time, he managed to get a mediocre one.
But Xiao He'er took a mirror and looked at her smiling face, her big eyes full of satisfaction.
After finishing the text, Long Chen realized that beautiful things are inherently beautiful; no matter how much they struggle, they cannot change their beauty.
With this hairstyle, Xiao He'er looked even more lively and beautiful, with a playful charm in her serenity. Especially when she smiled at Long Chen, Long Chen felt his heart melt.
Xiao He'er leaned in close to Long Chen and looked at the mirror—one big head, one little head, the same hairstyle. Suddenly, the two exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.
At that moment, Long Chen no longer thought his hairstyle looked bad; instead, he found it very interesting. Changing his hairstyle seemed to change his mood, as if he had become the carefree, carefree young Long Chen once again.
"Brother Long Chen, let's go!"
The little one held Long Chen's hand, her pretty face full of excitement, and she was starting to get excited.
"Let's go, let the people of this world see Long Sanye's invincible hairstyle." Long Chen laughed heartily, sporting two protruding pigtails, pulled Xiao He'er ahead, and headed straight toward the ancient city ahead.
As soon as they approached the ancient city, the two saw beings dressed in various clothes, sporting strange hairstyles and bearing various unusual symbols.
They had already left the Lingxiao Academy territory. Within the Lingxiao Academy's territory, outsiders were not allowed to approach, but once outside, even Long Chen was dazzled by the sight.
Long Chen saw someone skinny but with a giant head bigger than their body, and someone covered in hair but trailing a tail like a snake.
There was a beautiful woman, but she had four arms, and she saw a sphere rolling past her nearby. To Long Chen's surprise, the ball was actually a living being's armor, with tentacles growing on the armor that pushed the sphere forward slowly.
"Wow, this is so much fun!"
When Xiao He'er saw that spherical creature, her eyes widened.
"Buzz!"
The orb creature had just rolled past the two when it heard Xiao He'er's scream. Suddenly, runes surged on the orb, revealing two fierce eyes. Xiao He'er was startled and quickly hid behind Long Chen.
She hadn't expected that this seemingly cute sphere would be so fierce, and its gaze was truly intimidating.
"Lowly humans, shut your mouths. Your mouths, like your character, are disgusting." The spherical creature shouted coldly.
Long Chen frowned. These beings were so arrogant on human territory, openly insulting the human race. Who exactly tolerated their faults?
"Come over here for a moment!"
Long Chen pointed at the spherical creature and beckoned with his finger.
"Kid, are you looking for death?"
Faced with Long Chen's provocation, the spherical creature's voice turned cold and severe, and at the same time, a violent aura was released—it was actually a Heavenly Venerable expert.
"Whoosh!"
The moment he released his aura, he charged at Long Chen and Xiao He'er at high speed.
"Boom!"
