Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a woman in white approaching from afar.
The woman wore white clothes and a white silk scarf, but her slender feet were bare. Her feet were now covered in blood, pierced by the rubble and thorns on the ground.
The woman's skin was as white as jade, her eyes like peach blossoms, her whole body entwined with celestial energy, like a fairy who had stepped out of an ancient forest, untouched by any trace of worldly affairs.
Her cultivation was not obvious; though surrounded by immortal energy, she seemed completely clueless about cultivation. Her beautiful slender feet stepped on hard stones, and it was even visible that the stone had cut her toes. Her toes trembled, clearly feeling pain.
Yet her face still wore a serene smile, her eyes as clear as autumn water, enough to make everyone present feel ashamed of their own worth.
She was like a sacred mirror; in front of her, it was easy to feel inferior. Her beauty seemed to lie in her pure and flawless character. In his life, Long Chen had never seen a woman with such aura.
"This woman is a bit strange, and I can't figure out her cultivation level either." When that woman appeared, even Long Zhantian was stunned.
Long Chen's heart tightened. Even his father couldn't see through her—this was astonishing. But regardless of the other party's status, her previous words made Long Chen somewhat annoyed.
"Miss, you might not know me very well. I, Long Chen, am not a businessman." Long Chen looked at the woman and spoke bluntly.
When that woman appeared, Guo Ran and the others were deeply captivated by her. Not only Guo Ran and the others, but even Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan stared at her in shock.
That woman was clearly pleading for those people, but she was pretending to be a good person here for no apparent reason, which would be extremely off-putting.
But for some reason, no one could be angry at her. In fact, it felt like defying her was a form of desecration. Long Chen's tone toward her made everyone think he was going too far.
This left everyone deeply shocked. After all, Long Chen had always been their backbone; they had never questioned any of his decisions. But today, a subtle change had occurred because of this woman. If this was her unique ability, it would be terrifying.
Faced with Long Chen's cold response, the woman still wore a smile. Her smile seemed capable of healing all sorrow in the world and erasing all troubles. Looking at her smile, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. For some reason, her smile made his heart race wildly, as if he had been enchanted.
Long Chen hurriedly gathered his mind and stayed calm, but for some reason, a strange emotion was growing deep within his soul.
The woman gave Long Chen a deep look and said, "I know you're not a businessman. You don't like bargaining, and you have no interest in weighing pros and cons. You are someone who enjoys the pleasure of justice and revenge..."
The woman was as gentle as water; every word and every voice carried a powerful affinity. Countless strong figures present were present, regardless of their status or cultivation level. Everyone hoped to hear her say one more thing, because they had never heard such a pleasant voice before.
Long Chen waved his hand, directly interrupting the woman: "Stop, stop, stop. Although I like to hear good words, your words are too direct. I can't handle it. Let's get down to business. These people wanted my life before, and if I don't kill them, that's already a blessing."
Now, having them kowtow is partly to teach them a lesson, and partly to warn the monkeys, to give some restless fools a mental readiness to let the world know that I am not food, I have fangs. The
woman nodded and said, "I understand. Your request is reasonable and reasonable. By rights, I shouldn't be interfering in this matter."
However, I have a great wish and have no choice but to step forward. If you can understand my difficulties, I would be deeply grateful. After
speaking, the woman knelt directly before Long Chen. Startled, Long Chen waved his large hand and unleashed a powerful force, trying to lift the woman so she could not kneel.
However, to Long Chen's surprise, when his power touched the woman's body, his power vanished like mud and an ox sinking into the sea, vanishing without a trace.
The woman knelt before Long Chen and kowtowed. Long Chen could only watch her move without hesitation, unable to stop her.
This left Long Chen both shocked and furious, his face turning dark: "Are you threatening me?" I understand you, but who will?
I entered Emperor Heaven, fought my way from the passage to this side, and those people all wanted to kill me. Did they ever understand me? "
Long Chen grew more and more agitated. As he spoke, his voice roared like rolling thunder, shaking heaven and earth, like a god's roar, striking deep into the soul.
The woman sensed Long Chen's anger, her beautiful face full of shame. She bowed to Long Chen again and said softly,
"I'm sorry!"
"What's the use of being sorry? If you can say sorry and bring back the brothers who died on Tianwu Continent, I, Long Chen, will kowtow to you ten thousand times—no, what if I kowtow for a lifetime? As Long Chen spoke, his voice trembled as he thought of those fallen Dragonblood warriors.
When the world-ending war arrived, it was the most violent and barbaric massacre—who could he reasonably talk to? At that time, why didn't this woman appear?
Long Chen's face twisted with rage, like a wounded beast. The woman looked at Long Chen, her eyes showing no fear or anger, only a sense of empathy and sympathy. A stream of tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
"Sorry for the offense."
The woman bowed deeply to Long Chen, then turned and left. Tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the floor. At this moment, she seemed endlessly wronged and could no longer hold back her tears.
As we walked, there were bloodstains and tears in the footprints. People watched her figure fade into the distance, looking so lonely and pitiful.
Long Chen watched the woman's departing figure and was momentarily stunned. For some reason, at the moment she cried, the resentment and hatred in his heart seemed to be quickly released, and his excitement instantly calmed down.
"Dean Long Chen, actually, we ..."
At that moment, someone braced themselves and stepped forward. If it really didn't work out, they could even kowtow—after all, survival was the priority. However, they still wanted to test Long Chen's attitude.
"Get lost,"
Long Chen replied coldly.
Those people instantly felt as if they had been granted amnesty and rushed away. Long Chen let out a long sigh of relief, looked at his father, and gave a bitter smile: "
In the end, I still lost."
Although Long Chen really disliked that woman's behavior, he really couldn't keep making things difficult for those people and let her get his way.
"You lost to her, and it's not unfair." Long Zhantian smiled faintly.
"Father, what did you notice?" Long Chen was taken aback.
