Chapter 419: Returning to Mea Holy Magic Academy

When the armies of the Violent Dragon Empire and Nalan Empire were gearing up to prepare for an all-out war against the Proud Moon Empire, Long Yi was wandering about the entire Elven Forest with Wushuang and the other two girls.

On a fine day, Long Yi was sitting on the side of a clear brook as he stared at the spotlessly white jade legs of the three women playing in the brook. Satisfaction welled up in his heart when he looked at them splashing water at each other as they enjoyed themselves. A wisp of warmth welled up in his heart when he saw that they were all getting along well. If everyday could be as peaceful as today, how great would that be? In the future, he should bring all of his women to live here in the Elven Forest. They would be able to roam about leisurely in this peaceful and beautiful fairyland and if they eventually got bored of the Elven Forest, Long Yi would bring them to roam about the world. There would be no place under the heavens where he wouldn't be able to bring his women to.

"My husband, why are you laughing foolishly to yourself?" Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice resounded and a cool sensation washed across Long Yi's face.

Long Yi's face was soaked by the handful of water thrown by Nalan Ruyue. Flinging back his head, he pretended to be angry as he shouted, "Ruyue, are you rebelling?"

"I am rebelling! What can you do about it? Who asked you to be stupid enough not to dodge it?" Nalan Ruyue smiled and continued to throw handfuls of water towards Long Yi. With the rays of sun falling on her face, coupled with her magnificent smile and charming body, Nalan Ruyue appeared as though she was a goddess who had descended onto the mortal world.

Long Yi was stunned as he stared at Nalan Ruyue and was hit by the handfuls of water thrown by her. Before long, his entire body was drenched.

"Still playing around? I'm going to straighten you (12)out!" Coming back to his senses, Long Yi shouted as he jumped into the brook. With his hands, he scooped a huge handful of water as he threw it at Nalan Ruyue.

"Ah! Big sister Wushuang, Bertha, hurry up and help me out!" Nalan Ruyue smiled as she dodged the handful of water Long Yi threw at her. With a single sentence, she managed to rope in both Wushuang and Bertha to help her deal with Long Yi. In an instant, it became a three on one fight.

Spring was in the air around this brook and the sound of giggling reverberated throughout the Elven Forest.

When the four of them were finally exhausted, they returned to the shore dripping wet. They sat on a large stone at the side of the brook while breathing heavily.

Long Yi looked at the three women with a lustful gaze. Now that the clothes of these three women were soaked with water, the cloth was clinging onto their bodies which revealed their alluring and beautiful curves. It was simply a work of art created by the heavens.

"What are you looking at? Pervert husband, it's not like you have never seen this body before." Seeing the lustful gaze of Long Yi, Nalan Ruyue couldn't help but grumble in a flirty tone.

Long Yi grinned and shifted his gaze towards Wushuang and Bertha. Only at this moment did Long Yi realize that this little fox's body had become rather well-developed. Very soon, she would be comparable with her aunt, the Mea Empress.

"You are not allowed to look at Bertha. All she has are thin arms and legs. There is nothing for you to look at." Nalan Ruyue blocked Bertha from Long YI's view as she pouted.

Originally, Bertha felt shy when Long Yi allowed his unbridled gaze to run all over her body. However, when she heard what Nalan Ruyue said, she couldn't hold it in anymore and she wanted Long Yi to continue admiring her body. With a flash, she appeared at another spot which wasn't blocked by Nalan Ruyue and Long Yi was able to catch the full gaze of her body. Eagerly looking at him, she slowly pulled on her lapel apart. Squeezing her towering soft meat buns, a deep gully appeared in front of Long Yi's face.

Gudong, Long Yi's eyes were wide open as he stared at Bertha. She was showing herself off to Long Yi, and Long Yi accepted the present without blinking.

"You hateful fox! Who gave you permission to seduce my family's husband!" With a shrill cry, Nalan Ruyue pounced onto Long Yi. Pressing Long Yi's head between her soft meat buns, she didn't allow Long Yi to stare at Bertha with his lustful gaze any longer.

Moving his head side to side, Long Yi felt superb as his head was nestled in between those two soft and white mounds. All of a sudden, a naughty thought popped into his head. Biting onto the bud on Nalan Ruyue's **, Long Yi used the tip of his tongue to play with her **. In an instant, Long Yi was able to hear Nalan Ruyue's hurried breathing. She hugged his neck as her body went limp and her legs turned into jelly.

"My husband, don't... So hateful..." Nalan Ruyue slightly quivered and she lacked the strength to push Long Yi away.

A wicked smile crept up Bertha's face as she knew that Long Yi was up to his usual antics. Wushuang looked at Long Yi who was still trapped between those two huge mountains as the edges of her lips curled upwards. One of them was her sister, and the other was the other part of her life. Fate was truly a strange but marvelous thing. Although Wushuang and Long Yi were born several thousand years apart, fate brought them together.

After a long time, Long Yi released Nalan Ruyue. However, Nalan Ruyue didn't look too good as she had a face redder than a tomato. She was physically paralyzed as she leaned onto Long Yi as pants escaped her mouth.

Laughter and giggles filled the air as the four of them eventually changed into dry clothes. Sitting on the grassy meadow, they stared into the distant sun.

"Only the sunlight in the Elven Forest makes people feel warmth. The temperature here is just right, neither too hot nor too cold." Nalan Ruyue lazily admired as she rested her head onto Long Yi's arm.

"Yes! Long Yi, don't you feel as though there is something unusual about the weather? If the Proud Moon Empire resembled the Hengduan Mountains, then the snow and ice covering the lands would be able to melt completely very soon."

Long Yi sat up as he was startled by that statement. His eyes shone all of a sudden as if he thought of something.

...…..

A comfortable breeze swept through the land as if gave everyone a pleasant feeling.

When the rosy dawn dyed the horizon red, a beautiful figure stood on the summit of the rear mountain of the Mea Holy Magic Academy. That beautiful figure looked somewhat lonely as she looked towards the horizon. She had an expression of longing as though she was thinking of someone.

"Ximen Yu, where are you now? Violent Dragon Empire? Proud Moon Empire? Are you cuddling to the red and leaning towards the green at some corner of the continent?" [1] Long Ling'er was wearing a creamy white long gown which slightly inclined towards the male style of the dress. However, instead of exuding a masculine aura, the clothes made her look even more feminine. She looked delicate, but pretty at the same time. It was certainly an unusual flavor.

After Long Yi left the Mea Principality, Long Long'er developed a taste for his signature creamy white long gown. Wearing this gown, she seemed to feel the warmth of his body as if he was by her side. If this didn't show the longing she had for Long Yi, nothing else would.

"You got married, but the bride is not me. Although I know that you will not forget about me, I still hate you a little for this, you know?" Long Ling'er sighed and continued to pour out the grievances in her heart. Of course, the hate she had for Long Yi currently was completely different from the hate she had for him at the start.

When she thought of the grudges and disputes she had with Long Yi in the past, Long Ling'er couldn't help but sigh. Originally, she hated him to the marrow of her bones and she couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood. However, time had changed everything and after a few years, she was the one who was missing him to death. Whenever she recalled him, she always felt a kind of tingling pain which made tears flow out of her eyes.

Love and hate were separated only by a thin line. There was a saying that went, the deeper the love, the deeper the hate. However, the reverse was also true. The deeper the hate, the deeper the love. In the past, if someone were to tell Long Ling'er that she would shed tears while thinking about someone, she would have roasted them mercilessly using her hellfire. Only after so long, Long Ling'er realized that she was such a person. She finally understood the feeling of missing someone.

It didn't matter if the feeling she had was love or hate. As long as her heart reflected her true feelings, Long Ling'er would neither complain nor regret. Such was life. Two people who were originally madly in love might hate each other because of their love. Two people who originally hated each other to death might fall in love with each other, becoming pining lovers [2].

"Ling'er, I knew it. You would always appear here whenever you are thinking of something." A gentle voice came from behind Long Ling'er. With a snow-white priest robe and pitch-black hair, Ximen Wuhen looked natural and ethereal.

Hiding away the emotions on her face, Long Ling'er turned around. With a smile on her face, she asked, "Wuhen, did you bring me breakfast again?"

Ximen Wuhen smiled and shook a container in her hand. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "You always come here early in the morning without eating anything. How can you go on like this? When second brother comes back and sees that you have lost so much weight, he would definitely blame me."

"I'm sure that he doesn't care if I live or die. For the past two years, Long Yi hasn't appeared to see me even once. The only things he sends are these magic letters. He clearly doesn't care about me." Long Ling'er snorted.

"Ling'er, you shouldn't blame second brother. You should know about the Blue Waves Continent current condition as well. Second brother must be too busy to come back. It's very good that he bothers to send these magic letters." Ximen Wuhen exonerated Long Yi.

"You are his little sister! Of course, you would find an explanation for his actions! Humph, just wait until I see him again. I'll burn him beyond recognition and bury him myself. I'll kick his dead body to vent my frustrations." Long Ling'er hatefully said.

Ximen Wuhen smiled softly, but a hint of bitterness flashed through her clear beautiful eyes. Yes, she was merely his little sister, nothing more.

"Ling'er, after following Lin Na every day, you've inherited some of her violent behavior. However, where would you find time to burn my brother? You'll be busy bawling your eyes out the moment he is back, let alone burning him to death, I don't think you will have the energy to think about anything else." Ximen Wuhen said with a smile as she handed over the packed breakfast to Long Ling'er.

"Wait and see! Wuhen, as long as he dares to appear in front of me, I'll show him who is the stronger one." Long Ling'er snorted as she began to gracefully eat the breakfast Wuhen prepared for her.

As Wuhen watched Long Ling'er eat breakfast, the both of them started chatting with each other. However, the only topic seemed to be Long Yi as they talked about nothing else.

"Wuhen, don't you feel as though big sister Ruoyan is acting strangely lately?" After finishing her breakfast, Long Ling'er asked Ximen Wuhen with a curious face.

Thinking for a little while, Ximen Wuhen frowned as she replied, "Yes. Previously, she used to be together with us every day. However, I can't seem to find her anywhere. It's as though she doesn't even come to the academy anymore."

"How about we tail her today?" The eyes of Long Ling'er shone as a plan formed in her head.

"This… It's not a good idea. Big sister Ruoyan must have her own reasons if she didn't tell us anything. If she realizes that we tailed her, she would feel uncomfortable." Ximen Wuhen disagreed as she tried to persuade Long Ling'er otherwise.

Although Long Ling'er hesitated, she refused to listen to Ximen Wuhen's advice and she said, "No, since she treats us as her sisters, she will certainly not blame us. Not to mention the fact that we are only following her because we are concerned for her."

Ximen Wuhen bit her lower lip replied Long Ling'er only after careful considerations, "Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want others to know."

Long Ling'er nodded her head in disappointment but she added, "What if she is having a lovers' rendezvous with another man?"

"Who is having a lovers' rendezvous with another man?" A booming voice came from around the two gossiping girls. That familiar tone instantly hit the soul of Long Ling'er and Ximen Wuhen.

Long Ling'er had her mouth wide open but no words came out. Tears flowed out of her eyes like a stream and the words were stuck in her throat. She had already tossed away those brave words she said just a moment ago, far, far away.

[1] cuddling to the red and leaning towards the green (idiom): frequenting brothels

[2] pining lovers: lovers who couldn't marry each other for some reason

Chapter 420: Lin Na's spring scenery

"You scoundrel, why are you still not appearing before me? You're really too hateful." Long Ling'er looked all around and she couldn't find Long Yi. As such, she couldn't help but shout loudly, hoping that Long Yi would listen to her and appear before her like an obedient child.

Suddenly, someone held her waist and her charming body fell into a warm and broad chest. Although she was shocked, she didn't struggle in the slightest. That familiar smell she had missed for so long made her body react in the most honest way. Her mind felt extremely at peace when she was held by those hands which she hadn't felt in a long time.

"Scoundrel, you scoundrel!" Long Ling'er hugged Long Yi for what seemed like an eternity. Suddenly, she raised her fist as she pounded her tiny hands against his chest while glaring at him ferociously. However, no matter how much violence she displayed, she can't cover up the longing and tenderness she had towards Long Yi.

Standing still, Long Yi allowed Long Ling'er to pound at his chest. From the bottom of his heart, feelings of guilt welled up as he knew that he was in the wrong for leaving her alone in the Mea Principality for two whole years without visiting her. Time flew by so quickly. The two years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye. Most of Long Yi's time was spent on the road as he had been traveling a lot. From the Violent Dragon Empire to the Nalan Empire, from the Nalan Empire to the Lightning God Forbidden Area… Spending six months inside the Lightning God Forbidden Area and traveling to the Proud Moon Empire. Leaving the Proud Moon Empire to the Huangmang Plain. Basically, Long Yi spent most of his time going from one place to another.

As Long Yi held onto Long Ling'er beautiful face, an orchid-like body fragrance invaded his nostrils. A feeling of warmth bloomed in his heart as his body completely relaxed. Who said that only the body smell of men can make women feel at ease? The body fragrance of women also provides the same effect on men.

As Long Yi slowly leaned closer towards Long Ling'er, she managed to sense his intentions. Although she was startled and her heart jumped, she didn't hesitate. Closing her beautiful eyes, she slightly raised her head. With trembling eyelashes, she planted her lips onto Long Yi's and she welcomed the kiss which she had missed for a long time.

"Wu..." Facing a beauty, how could Long Yi be aloof and indifferent? He lowered his head and used his lips to seal her soft and fair little mouth.

This kiss was very passionate. ** splashed all about as they seemed as though they wanted to make up for the two years of separation with this one kiss.

Tears filled Ximen Wuhen's face when she saw the couple who were hugging and kissing affectionately not too far away. She was happy for Long Ling'er, but she was also depressed in her heart. Although she knew that it was wrong, she thought about having an unnatural relationship with Long Yi.

Only after a long time, the kissing couple reluctantly parted. Currently, the face of Long Ling'er was filled with tenderness and her eyes were flashing with happiness. She was glowing with pride and happiness whenever she looked at Long Yi.

"You are not allowed to abandon me again! Do you understand?" Long Ling'er adjusted Long Yi's clothes as she lightly scolded.

"When have I ever abandoned you? You are always in my heart... I'll never abandon you." Long Yi smiled and stroked Long Ling'er hair as he pacified her in a tender voice.

"So hateful!" Long Ling'er snorted sweetly. A thought flashed into her head as she turned around to look at Ximen Wuhen. When she saw that Ximen Wuhen's face was covered in tears, she was extremely startled.

When Long Yi saw that Long Ling'er was looking at Ximen Wuhen, his gaze turned to look at Ximen Wuhen as well. When he saw the tear-filled face of Ximen Wuhen, he was shocked as well. Long Yi had no idea why Ximen Wuhen was crying.

"Little sister, why are you crying? Did you miss your second brother too much?" Letting go of Long Ling'er, Long Yi walked over to Ximen Wuhen. Raising his hands, he wiped the tears off Ximen Wuhen's face.

Currently, Ximen Wuhen was unable to say anything as all her words were stuck in her throat. She could only nod with her tear stained face.

A startled expression found its way onto Long Yi face. It only lasted a moment before it was replaced by a smile. Holding onto Ximen Wuhen, Long Yi gently patted her back as he hugged her into his bosom. Long Yi's heart was filled with warmth as he looked at Ximen Wuhen's face. The extreme hatred his little sister had for him was a thing of the past now. Currently, they really loved each other and Long Yi felt as though the feeling of sisterly love wasn't so bad.

After shedding tears in Long Yi's bosom for a long time, Ximen Wuhen finally calmed herself down as she gently pushed Long Yi away. She was unable to conceal her red face and stood there like a dumb statue.

"Wuhen, you can hug longer, I don't mind." Long Ling'er said happily. Currently, Long Ling'er felt extremely happy and she couldn't help but want to express her happiness to the world.

Rolling her eyes, Ximen Wuhen said with a smile, "Who wants your man? Keep him to yourself."

"Yes, one day, you'll also have a man yourself. Of course, you wouldn't want mine." Long Ling'er said with a cheeky expression on her face.

In an instant, Ximen Wuhen's face changed. Who would be able to understand her pain? The only man she wants could belong to everyone else but her.

"Little sister, what happened?" Sensing some abnormalities with Ximen Wuhen's feelings, Long Yi asked her in concern.

"There is nothing wrong with me! By the way, did you come back to Mea Principality by yourself?" Ximen Wuhen hastily changed the topic of conversation. She was afraid that Long Yi would be able to uncover her true feelings if she were to keep on talking.

With a smile on his face, Long Yi replied, "I have brought a few people together with me. The both of you should know all of them. They are Nalan Ruyue, Wushuang, and Bertha."

"Ah, it's them. It is not strange for Nalan Ruyue and Wushuang to be at your side, but why would Bertha be following you as well? I went to the Charming Love Residence several times but I didn't manage to see her at all." Long Ling'er said. She knew that Wushuang was the girl who was affected by the curse as she saw Long Yi holding Wushuang in his bosom in the past. Because of her, she and Long Yi had reached this stage. As such, Wushuang could be regarded as their matchmaker. If it wasn't for Wushuang, Long Ling'er might have still hated Long Yi even till this day. The problems between them would never be resolved.

"There is a long story about it, but for the time being, let's not talk about it. I remember hearing the two of you talk about Shui Ruoyan just a moment ago. The both of you said that that girl is having a lovers' rendezvous behind my back, is that true?" Long Yi waved his hand shifted the topic back to Shui Ruoyan. He naturally didn't believe that Shui Ruoyan would go and find another man, but he still wanted to look into it.

Long Ling'er once again told Long Yi about how Shui Ruoyan hadn't attended the class for the past few days. She also told him about some secret matters which happened during the time he was gone. Finally, she added her analysis on the matter and concluded that Shui Ruoyan was definitely concealing something. Obviously, if Shui Ruoyan kept something from her two closest friends, the thing she was trying to hide couldn't be small.

"Is that so?" Long Yi frowned.

"That is right! As such, I suggested following her to find out the secret she has been hiding from us. However, your little sister disagreed with me!" Long Ling'er pouted as she stared at Ximen Wuhen.

"The two of you don't have to be bothered with this matter any longer. I'll handle it from here. I'll bring the two of you to meet Wushuang and the others first." Long Yi said with a smile. Grabbing onto both of them, he flew towards the inn where Wushuang and the other were currently resting at.

When they arrived at the inn, the five women met each other and began to chat. Since one woman was equivalent to 300 ducks, five women were equivalent to 1500 ducks.

When he saw that he was completely ignored by the five of them, Long Yi had no choice but to retreat from the room. With a shrug of his shoulders, Long Yi said, "I will go and look for that old man PuXiusi, you can all stay here and chat to your heart's content."

When they heard him, the five women simultaneously waved their hands. It was obvious that they were not going to see Long Yi out of the room and as a result, Long Yi left the room gloomily by himself.

The streets of Mea Principality was still clean and broad. However, due to the effects of the war, the roads were a lot less crowded.

Long Yi sighed with emotion as he strolled along the street as he recalled the times in the past. He truly missed those days.

After getting bored of looking around, Long Yi started flying towards the Mea Holy Magic Academy at high speeds. He wondered if that old man PuXiusi made any progress in his cultivation. If PuXiusi had not made any progress and was still only a Master Archmage, he was definitely not Long Yi's opponent.

Long Yi was familiar and also somewhat unfamiliar about the location of PuXiusi's residence. Eventually, he managed to find his way to the entrance of a small courtyard inside the academy.

"Old man PuXiusi, your old friend has come!" Long Yi dashed into the courtyard and shouted loudly. However, there was no response from anyone and Long Yi looked like a fool.

When Long Yi was making a ruckus outside, the bathroom was filled with dense water vapor. Inside a big bathtub filled with water, fiery red hair was floating on top of the water.

Huala, strands of fiery red hair was flung back along with crystal clear water droplets by the figure who was enjoying his bath.

"Why am I hearing things now?" Just a moment ago, when Lin Na had submerged her head inside the water, she seemed to have heard a familiar voice. After thinking about it for a little while, she realized that she must have been hearing things. In any case, she had often dreamt about Long Yi and how he had appeared in front of her on many occasions. She was already accustomed to it and she never thought that Long Yi would really return so soon.

Humming a song, Lin Na happily played with the water in the bathtub. With her tiny hands, she washed her smooth and soft body. Her spotlessly white and smooth shoulders were bare and drops of sparkling, crystal clear water slid down her silky skin. She looked extremely captivating as her wet hair stuck onto her skin. Especially that pair of plump ** which couldn't be seen clearly due to the water ripples. Although it had an indistinct appearance in the water, the hazy appearance made it all the more appealing.

Before long, Lin Na stood up from the bathtub and her fiery-red hair hung down on her bare back, and her mellow and plump snow buttocks and slender ** under her thin waist also became visible. As her buttcheeks shook with every step she took, it was an extremely provoking scene. Anyone who saw it would have blood bursting from their noses.

Wrapping a towel over her hot body, the fiery red hair between her legs was also covered up in an instant. Although her forbidden parts were covered with a towel, it didn't affect her sexiness in the least. Actually, it made Lin Na look even sexier. Currently, Lin Na looked extremely beautiful and if she were to find a suitor right now, there would be countless men in the world willing to marry her. However, this was considering the fact that Lin Na hadn't shown off her temper. Her temper was inversely proportional to her looks and would be able to scare off 99 percent of her would be suitors.

Standing outside PuXiusi's house, Long Yi was getting annoyed as no one was replying to him. He thought about leaving in order not to make a fool of himself, but he suddenly sensed that there was someone in the backyard. After thinking about it for a moment, Long Yi decided to enter the house without permission in order to look for the old man. Pushing open the door, Long Yi rushed to the backyard.

...…

"Eh, where is that underwear that I bought last time?" After leaving the bathroom, Lin Na rummaged through her wardrobe. Finally, she recalled that she had left her underwear in the backyard for it to dry.

Without thinking about it any further, Lin Na wrapped a short bath towel around her body and left the bathroom. The courtyard she lived in was located at a remote corner of the academy. It was very quiet and no one was allowed to approach it without official reasons. She also knew that her grandpa Puxiusi wasn't at home and she was also lazy to change into something else. As such, she left the bathroom with just a short towel wrapped around her.

Just when Lin Na arrived at the backyard to pick up her underwear, Long Yi burst into the backyard trying to look for PuXiusi. The eyes of Lin Na and Long Yi met and the both of them had a dumbstruck expression on their faces as they stared at each other.

Chapter 421: Taking libertines with woman and marriage

"Why am I seeing things now? This is so annoying. The next time I see that smelly Long Yi, I'll definitely kick the living daylights out of him." Lin Na shook her head and muttered to herself. Grabbing her underwear which was hanging out to sun, she turned her body as she walked towards her room. From the lower hem of her small bath towel, her plump buttocks could be seen and a pinkish arc was also faintly visible while she was walking.

Long Yi was startled when Lin Na said that he was an illusion. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. After that, he cleared his throat and said, "Lin Na, are you sleepwalking? You didn't even greet your master. What kind of attitude is that?"

Lin Na's charming body trembled. She lost her grip on the underwear she was holding in her hand and it fluttered towards the ground. Luckily, Lin Na had a quick reaction time as she stretched out her hand to grab her underwear before it touched the ground.

"Impossible, impossible..." Lin Na muttered as she turned around. The only thing she saw was Long Yi's lecherous gaze as he stared at the bottom of her towel.

"Ah!" Lin Na finally reacted. With a loud scream, Lin Na rushed into her bedroom as she slammed the door with a loud bang.

"He is back! Long Yi is really back! What should I do?" Pacing up and down her room, Lin Na mumbled restlessly. In the backyard, Lin Na was sure that she heard Long Yi call himself her master. Could it be that this stinking Long Yi wanted to rake up their old scores? Wasn't Long Yi the one who called off the agreement in the past? He was the one who said that Lin Na didn't need to serve him as a maid, why did he bring it up again? Whatever, Lin Na made up her mind this time. She would never admit that she was his maid even if she was beaten to death this time.

"Wait a minute, why am I panicking? Why on earth would I be afraid of this smelly Long Yi? I am really stupid..." A light went off in Lin Na's brain. Standing up, she asked herself in a strange voice. A relieved smile blossomed on her face as a hint of arrogance and unruliness was hidden in her smile.

Thinking about how she shouldn't be afraid of Long Yi anymore, Lin Na felt a burst of confidence well up inside her. Spinning around, she caught sight of herself in the magic mirror. Her soft and white breasts were half revealed, and her slender thighs were completely exposed in the air. When she thought about how Long Yi looked at her in the backyard, Lin Na's beautiful face couldn't help but flush red.

"No wonder he was looking at me with such a lecherous gaze, that big pervert! But why would he look at me like that? Could it be that he thinks that my figure is good?" Lin Na took off her bath towel wore her sexy underwear. Staring into the magic mirror, she admired her own body.

"Lin Na, why are you wasting so much time inside? Do you want me to come inside and help you wear your clothes?" Long Yi's voice resounded throughout the entire house and Lin Na immediately started to panic. Hastily putting on her clothing, she opened the door.

Long Yi wasted no time and stepped into her room without any hesitation. As he looked at the pile of clothing which was lying on the bed, he clicked his tongue as he chided, "Is this the room of a girl? It is not any better than a pigsty."

Lin Na was somewhat bashful. Her room was indeed in a mess. She thought about cleaning her room after taking a nice bath, but who would have expected Long Yi to barge into her room the moment she was done changing?

"Get out! It's not like I asked you to come in here or anything. Also, this is my room! Why on earth did you come in without my consent?" Placing both her hands on Long Yi's chest, she tried to push him out of her room before he could comment any further.

"Do I need the consent of my maid to enter her room?" Long Yi smiled as he sat on Lin Na's bed. He admired the pair of translucent underwear on her bed. All of them had a symbol of the Beauty's Shop embroidered on them. Seems like that woman, Mu Hanyan, is a very capable person. It's not easy to make a female wear shop so popular.

"Who is your maid? That agreement already expired two years ago." Lin Na said as she panted with rage.

Long Yi shrugged his shoulder with a smile and no longer dwelled on this topic. Two years ago, he indeed had proposed to renounce that agreement. When Long Yi saw Lin Na after two years, she seemed to have become even more gorgeous. With her wet and messy fiery red hair draped over her shoulders, she looked extremely charming. This gave Long Yi endless shock as he never knew that Lin Na could be so desirable.

"What are you looking at? Do you want me to dig out your lusty eyeballs?" Lin Na couldn't help but shout as she felt uneasy when Long Yi swept his gaze over her body.

Coming back to his senses, Long Yi made a wry smile as he touched his nose. He obviously made a lapse in judgment just now. What charming and desirable? Bullsh*t! Her temperament was even worse than the she-T. Rex, Liu Xu.

"What about your grandfather?" Long Yi didn't feel like arguing with this little girl. In these two years, her magic power didn't improve by much. However, Long Yi could tell that she was even feistier compared to before.

"Why on earth should I tell you? Do I know you? Why would a stranger look for another stranger's grandfather?" Lin Na snorted and turned her head to the side. A cheeky smile started to form at the edge of Lin Na's lips.

"Not that familiar? I think that we know each other very well, don't you think so?" Long Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a bad smile.

"Who are you familiar with? Don't try to chum up to me." Lin Na looked at Long Yi with disdain.

"Oh! I think that it is necessary for us to take our relationship to the next level. What do you think? What level do you want to cook our relationship to? 70%? 80%? Or do you want to completely cook our relationship? [1]?" The eyes of Long Yi glimmered with brilliance. [1] Here Long Yi is using the wordplay. Shú (熟) can mean cooked, ripe, mature, familiar

"Of course we have to make things completely cooked before we can eat it… Ah! What are you trying to do?" As Lin Na replied Long Yi without thinking, the smirk on Long Yi's face started to emit a dangerous aura.

"I'm not going to do anything… However, you wanted us to cook it completely. I'm just changing our relationship to a completely cooked one." Long Yi smiled as he laughed.

The maiden heart of Lin Na jumped, but she stubbornly refused to admit defeat. In a flurry, she quickly shouted, "You… if you dare to act recklessly, I'll burn you into charcoal!"

"Haha, it's not like I'm afraid of you. Come on, it has already been two years, and you're still at the Mage realm. Two years ago, you weren't my opponent at all. Now that I have made extreme improvements, do you think that you can still rebel against me?" Rubbing the stubble on his chin, Long Yi stared at Lin Na as if he was looking at a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

When Lin Na heard Long Yi's words, her heart wavered. She couldn't help but lose confidence in herself. Even though she was able to reach the Mage realm at such a young age, she was nothing compared to Long Yi.

"Be obedient and come over to me." Long Yi said as he gestured for Lin Na to walk towards him.

"Who is afraid of you?" With a broad smile on her face, Lin Na approached Long Yi with confidence. However, after walking two steps, she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the door. The moment her legs left the ground, she felt as though there was something pulling her backwards and she had no way to resist against it.

"Do you think that you can actually run away from me? It seems like your ** is itching." Long Yi was already standing behind Lin Na as his hands pulled at her belt.

"I admit defeat! I'll tell you where my grandfather went, let go of me." Lin Na simply gave up resisting. Although Lin Na had an arsenal of moves in order to escape from people, she didn't use them in front of Long Yi at all. In her subconsciousness, she knew that her moves wouldn't be effective against Long Yi at all.

"Too late, we are going to get familiar with each other now." Long Yi smiled as he hugged Lin Na.

When Long Yi caught a glimpse of Lin Na's red face, he extended his index finger as he frivolously raised her chin towards him.

In an instant, Lin Na came back to her senses. Sensing that she was going to be in deep trouble if she didn't do anything, she started to struggle violently. She knew that she wasn't Long Yi's match in terms of strength and she wanted to use the Opposing Raging Flames sealed in her ring. To her surprise, no matter how she tried, she wasn't able to unleash the flames at all. Her spirit power seemed to have emptied and she couldn't sense any magic elements in the air.

"Domain! You have reached the Master Archmage realm?" Lin Na was shocked as she looked at Long Yi with a gaze full of terror.

"You're smart! Now that you know that you can't fight back, stop trying to hatch your plans. They are completely ineffective against me. Let this Young Master teach you how to become a lovable girl." Long Yi rubbed his index finger against Lin Na's chin. As his index finger slid downwards, he traced the Lin Na's smooth neck before arriving at her exquisite collarbone.

Lin Na's body trembled as she gritted her teeth. Unable to bear the shame any longer, she turned her head away and closed her eyes with a frown on her face.

"Your heart is beating really quickly." Long Yi said with a smile.

Lin Na didn't reply Long Yi as she lowered her head. The corners of her eyes became moist and Long Yi could see that she was about to cry soon.

Long Yi never thought of going all the way with Lin Na and eventually, he released her with a spank on her plump **. Just as he was about to remove his domain, he heard a faint rumbling sound as his entire domain trembled. Within seconds, a large amount of fire magic elements rushed into the room.

A red shadow flashed, and an old man wrapped in fire appeared inside the room. Who else could he be if not Fire Master Archmage PuXiusi?

<< Property of Creative Novels dot com >>

"Old man, long time no see." Long Yi smiled at PuXiusi. The beard which Long Yi had sliced off in the past had grown back.

Looking at Long Yi in surprise, PuXiusi sized him up. With a weary sigh, he said, "You smelly brat, that was the legendary lightning domain. In this extremely short period of two years, you were actually able to cultivate lightning magic to this level. From now on, don't appear in front of me, you'll give me a heart attack."

"Hehe, old man, you didn't make any progress in these past two years and remained in the same realm. Looks like your reputation in the Blue Waves Continent is an unwarranted fame." Long Yi shrugged his shoulders in disdain.

PuXiusi was so angry he was about to puke blood. However, he wasn't able to find a single fault in Long Yi's words. The moment he encountered Long Yi, this freak, PuXiusi knew that Long Yi was his unlucky star. Long Yi's cultivation could be said to be increasing with terrifying speed. Long Yi was just 20 years old, but he had already reached the level of PuXiusi. No, it could be said that Long Yi surpassed PuXiusi at the mere age of 20.

In a flash, the two Master Archmage dispelled their domain. PuXiusi's eyes finally landed on Long Yi's hand. He saw that Long Yi was holding Lin Na's hand and a sinister smile immediately appeared on PuXiusi's face. In a deep voice, PuXiusi scolded, "Smelly brat, just now, didn't you bully my granddaughter?"

"Yes, yes! Grandpa, if you arrived even a little later, he would have violated me!" Lin Na struggled free from Long Yi's grasp as she ran to PuXiusi. There was a grievance in her voice as she complained about Long Yi. After she was done complaining, she stared at Long Yi complacently.

How could PuXiusi still not understand Long Yi? Two years ago, he had rejected for Lin Na to become his maid. Everyone knew that maids were required to listen to their master, no matter the command. It included warming the bed for their master. After two years, how could PuXiusi allow his granddaughter to become Long Yi's maid again? Not to mention the fact that this dumb idiot, Long Yi, was surrounded by beauties. Perhaps the rest of the girls would be considerate and lively. They might even be able to match his granddaughter's looks. However, Lin Na's temperament was definitely not compatible with Long Yi's women.

"Since that is the case, smelly kid, you must marry my granddaughter." Although these words were said in a calm voice, PuXiusi was smiling in his heart. Maybe he would be able to take advantage of the situation and quickly marry his granddaughter off. If he was able to successfully marry her off, he wouldn't have to be troubled every day.

"Ah... grandpa, you..." Lin Na was stunned and she was speechless for a moment.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked at PuXiusi. Long Yi was lost in his thoughts as he didn't know what PuXiusi was thinking.

Chapter 422: Raging Flames' branch

"Why are you looking at me with that face? Since you were the one who ruined the innocence of my granddaughter, you have to take responsibility for it. If you don't marry her, who will marry her in the future?" PuXiusi's had no sense of shame. He twisted his words and flipped black with white in order to force Long Yi to accept Lin Na. It seemed as though PuXiusi's skin got thicker with his age.

Muttering to himself, Long Yi was complaining about how no one would marry Lin Na in the first place. With her fiery temper, which man in the world would dare to marry her? Wasn't he just asking for trouble if he married this she-devil? PuXiusi was indeed in the wrong for pushing the blame onto Long Yi. However, Long Yi wouldn't be foolish enough to speak of his thoughts out loud. If Long Yi actually spoke of his thoughts, Lin Na would definitely feel extremely hurt. After a slight period of hesitation, Long Yi tactically kept silent as he knew that Lin Na would definitely refute her grandfather.

"Grandpa, what on earth are you saying? Even if I don't get married to anyone in my entire life, I'll never marry this pervert!" Sure enough, Lin Na pulled on PuXiusi's arm as she pouted. Her face was as red as a tomato and her heart was pounding furiously.

With a smile plastered on his face, Long Yi didn't utter a word. Although this girl Lin Na was beautiful and she had an extremely good figure, he couldn't stand her bad temper. Whoever loves her can marry her.

"Will you really not marry him? In the future, if you regret, grandpa won't care about your complaints then." PuXiusi smiled and stroke his long red beard.

"So hateful! I'm not going to talk to you any longer." Lin Na's face became even redder as she stamped her feet on the ground. Turning away from PuXiusi, she rushed out of her own room.

<< Property of Creative Novels . com >>

Long Yi and PuXiusi were shocked as they stared at one another. They saw the shock the other party had through their eyes and they stood rooted to the ground. They never thought that Lin Na could behave like a dainty and delicate girl as well.

"Smelly kid, I see that my granddaughter is truly interested in you. This is my conclusion after looking after her for so long. How about you..." PuXiusi smiled as he quickly thought of a plan. His eyes glimmered with anticipation as he spoke to Long Yi. However, before he was able to complete his sentence, Long Yi interrupted him.

"No, that won't do. You should also know that I have numerous beauties around me, I truly cannot afford to find another wife. You should find someone who had better qualifications." Long Yi repeatedly waved his hand to reject whatever PuXiusi said. Long Yi thought about how he should be mentally retarded if he accepted a ticking time bomb by his side.

With a slight smile, PuXiusi eventually gave up on his plan. He continued, "Well, let's not talk about this matter any longer. Tell me about what happened in these past two years. What divine pill did you actually eat to become this powerful?"

As Long Yi explained about what happened, they eventually stepped out of Lin Na's lady chamber. Walking towards the study, the two of them looked like long lost friends.

Long Yi talked about the matters he had experienced in these past two years. There was nothing to hide and there was nothing he couldn't let others know about. Among the matters Long Yi spoke of, PuXiusi should already have knowledge about most of them. However, he didn't know about the mysterious force of darkness behind Long Zhan. Neither did he know about the Lightning God inheritance which Long Yi had accepted. When Long Yi spoke about these encounters, PuXiusi was extremely surprised and he focused all his attention on what Long Yi was saying.

After hearing about Long Yi's experiences, PuXiusi was lost in thought. All of a sudden, his eyes shone and he muttered, "Can it be that..."

"Can it be that, what?" Long Yi quickly followed up with a question.

PuXiusi shook his head and said a single word, "Nothing."

When Long Yi saw that PuXiusi was unwilling to speak further, he didn't press him. He knew that PuXiusi must have thought of something, but he was unsure of it. Not to mention the fact that Long Yi was familiar with PuXiusi. He knew that if this Master Archmage was willing to talk about stuff, even if people around him ignored him, he would continue to talk. If he was unwilling to speak, even if someone used an iron rod to pry open his mouth, he wouldn't utter a single word.

"The current weather is really abnormal. I heard about how the snow and ice covering the Proud Moon Empire is melting. In the near future, the war would probably start again." PuXiusi changed the subject of the conversation as he sighed.

"That seems to be the case. I'm returning to participate in the war and I was passing by Mea Principality. I dropped by this time in order to visit my sister and the rest, I'll be returning to the Yatesianna defense line tomorrow. It is about time for this war to end." A trace of smile formed at the edge of Long Yi's lips and a trace of coldness flashed past Long Yi's eyes.

Nodding his head, PuXiusi expressed his agreement that it was about the time this war ended. Since the war started two years ago, the continent was thrown into turmoil. The war ruined the lives of many people and destroyed families. Many cities and towns were also destroyed by the flames of war. Whenever there is war, the lives of the people were considered less than trash. Not to mention that in this war, the heavy winter caused even more chaos. The ice and snow spread throughout the entire Proud Moon Continent and parts of the other two empires. There were countless people who froze and starved to death. Also, the current weather condition was extremely unpredictable. No one knew if there were more natural disasters to come.

"Old man, I have always wanted to ask you a question. You spoke about the Flame Mountain before. Wasn't it the location of the Raging Flames Villa, a power which existed a thousand years ago? How did you know how to enter the area? Could it be that you are a descendant of the Raging Flames Villa?" Long Yi stared at PuXiusi and said.

PuXiusi was startled. However, he started laughing before long as he replied Long Yi, "Smelly kid, you really know quite a lot. There should be no problem in telling you... Yes, I am a descendant of the Raging Flames Villa. I belong to the magic branch, and the Phoenix Clan belongs to the douqi branch."

"So you knew that the Phoenix Branch is a part of the Raging Flames Villa. Why haven't you acquainted yourself with the Phoenix Clan? After all, all of you can be considered a family." Long Yi asked PuXiusi as he felt that there was something strange going on. The Phoenix Matriarch didn't know that the world renowned Fire Master Archmage PuXiusi was also a descendant of the Raging Flames Villa like herself.

"It wasn't necessary, and it's useless even if I know that they are the descendants of the Raging Flames Villa like me. The war which happened thousands of years ago against the Ice Palace turned the Raging Flames Villa into a part of history. Unless the envoy of the Fire God comes, otherwise..." PuXiusi said.

The envoy of the Fire God? He isn't talking about me, is he? Long Yi had a thought as he recalled the crowd of kobolds calling him the envoy of the Fire God in the Illusory Forest.

.......

Long Yi left PuXiusi's little courtyard and was lost in thought while he walked on the boulevard of the Mea Holy Magic Academy.

Along the way, there were many people who were looking at Long Yi. They spoke in whispers as they pointed their fingers at him.

"Look, isn't he our academy's legendary Love Saint?" Among them, a person pointed towards Long Yi and said to his companion.

"Yes, that's him. Even if he turned to ashes, I would still be able to recognize him. At that time, he had ** the entire Advance Water Magic class and even the beautiful teacher Shui Ruoyan. She was my goddess! If God bestowed even a single one of them onto me, I would be willing to lose ten years of my life. However, this beast actually hogged all of them!" His companion gnashed his teeth and complained. He was dying to immediately go over and kick Long Yi, but he didn't have the courage to do so. Although there were differing opinions on Long Yi's strength, it couldn't be doubted that he was extremely strong. Even the weakest evaluation of Long Yi's strength was stronger than all of them combined. As a result, this three-legged cat didn't dare to step forward to provoke the tiger.

"Really? He is my idol! I want to kowtow to him and make him my teacher. As long as he passes me a tiny part of his skills, I'll be able to lead a glorious life." The other shifty-eyed fellow couldn't help but exclaim after hearing what his companions said. However, by the time he made up his mind to call Long Yi his teacher, Long Yi had already disappeared without a trace.

Long Yi never expected that he would still be so many people who recognized him in the academy after two years. He decided to leave as he thought that he was going to cause chaos with his fame.

When Long Yi finally returned to the inn, the sky was already dark. Wushuang and other women seemed to be tired. All of them were lying on the sofa as they spoke in a soft voice to each other while nibbling on snacks. The tea table situated in the middle of the room was covered with all kinds of snacks.

When they saw that Long Yi had returned, the five of them sat up and a happy expression appeared on all of their faces.

"Long Yi, tonight, you will accompany little sister Ling'er. We will be sleeping in the room next door." Wushuang smiled and said to Long Yi. Bringing along Bertha, Nalan Ruyue and Ximen Wuhen, Wushuang left the room.

Now, only Long Yi and Long Ling'er were left in Long Yi's room. The atmosphere started to become rosy and ambiguous.

"I... I will go and take a bath." Long Ling'er boldly met Long Yi's scorching hot gaze for a few seconds before backing off. She wasn't able to endure Long Yi's ** at the moment and decided to leave for a moment. She turned around and just like a startled rabbit, she ran into the bathroom.

Pengpeng, pengpeng, she saw a charming and excited Long Ling'er reflected in the bathroom's magic mirror. Her heart was beating as if it was a horse running in a race.

After taking deep breaths, Long Ling'er managed to calm herself down. Grabbing her head and turning her body, she looked into the mirror to look at herself. She wanted to see if she was still as beautiful as before. Since Long Yi left, she had never cared about this issue.

Her clothing slowly slid down her body, revealing her skin which was emitting an ivory luster. Under the hazy lighting, Long Ling'er looked absolutely stunning as though she was an illusion of a goddess.

Taking soft steps, Long Ling'er walked into the big bathtub. Her entire body slowly submerged into the warm water. As the water rippled, a pair of plump ** seemed to sway lightly. This scene was indescribably enchanting and extremely tempting.

Kacha, the door of the bathroom opened on its own.

"So hateful! Smelly Ximen Yu, don't come in." The heart of Long Ling'er trembled as she grumbled in a flirty manner.

Long Yi entered the bathroom from the crack of the door and said with a cheeky smile on his face, "Someone once told me that a girl's words cannot be trusted. Take the opposite meaning of whatever they said. Since you asked me to not come on, shouldn't I come in?"

"Nonsense, I didn't, you...Ah! You are really hateful!" Before Long Ling'er could finish her sentence, Long Yi jumped into the bathtub together with Long Ling'er. He was completely ** and water splashed everywhere. Long Ling'er cried out in alarm as she never expected for Long Yi to jump in so suddenly.

Sitting down in the bathtub, Long Yi grabbed her slender waist from behind. He used his mouth to nibble on her exquisite earlobe and his hands moved about her body.

"You..." The entire body of Long Ling'er softened and her eyes became hazy. An orchid like fragrance could be smelled clearly in the air and Long Yi took a deep breath.

Long Yi's heart swayed and his hands moved upward, grabbing onto Long Ling'er's full and round **. Long Ling'er also took the initiative to turn around and planted her lips onto Long Yi's. Within moments, a spring tide filled the room.

"Ah..." Long Ling'er softly moaned as her most private place was penetrated by a burning hot rod. Her entire body started to convulse and quiver moans escaped her lips. Unexpectedly, one strike from Long Yi made her retreat a thousand li in disorder.

Not waiting for Long Ling'er to return to her senses, Long Yi embraced her waist and began sprinting in the water. Waves caused the water to splash around in the bathtub and the both of them began an intense session. He was using the most primitive ** way to tell her how much he missed her in these past two years when they were apart.

At the top of the inn, a trace of white robe fluttered. She was elegant and extraordinary. Looking at the moon in the sky, a soft sigh escaped her lips and reverberated in the night sky.

Chapter 423: Wanton, the invitation of Mea Empress

Ximen Wuhen looked at the beautiful sky with sadness in her eyes. Some things were decided by fate, and no matter how hard people try, fate couldn't be changed. For instance, the stars in the sky appears to be extremely close in distance, but everyone knew that the stars in the sky were separated by hundreds of millions of light years.

"I don't ask for much, the only thing I want to do is to stay at my second brother's side throughout my life. It doesn't matter if I have to stand in his shadow. As long as he looks at me once in a while, I am perfectly content. Am I being too greedy?" Ximen Wuhen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She muttered to herself under her breath and a sigh escaped her lips.

Clang, Ximen Wuhen was startled by a loud sound and she instantly turned around. In front of her stood Wushuang who had shock written all over her face. Wushuang clearly heard what Ximen Wuhen said a moment ago.

"Big sister Wushuang, you..." Ximen Wuhen was bewildered and she only had one thought in her mind. She thought that her life would be over the moment Wushuang told Long Yi what she said. Imagining how Long Yi would react, Ximen Wuhen was afraid that Long Yi would ignore her forever if he heard what she said.

Very quickly, Wushuang came back to her senses even though Ximen Wuhen's words kept replaying in her mind. She had just left Long Yi's side in order to take a breather, and she was feeling extremely relaxed before she heard what Ximen Wuhen said. She wanted to take a breather because her feelings were in disarray. Sometimes, Wushuang would gnash her teeth in anger as she thought about how she was unable to give Long Yi her everything.

Flying to Ximen Wuhen's side, Wushuang lightly patted her shoulders. In a soft voice, Wushuang reassured Ximen Wuhen, "Wuhen, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about what just happened."

Ximen Wuhen cultivated light magic, so she woke up very quickly from her absent-mindedness. She looked at Wushuang who was similarly wearing a clean white robe with a complicated gaze. Thinking about how her deepest secret was exposed, Ximen Wuhen's face turned red. Other than Aunt Ou whom she had impulsively poured out her heart to two years ago, nobody else knew about her secret. Ximen Wuhen had the intention to bury her secret deep in her heart throughout her life, but now, it seemed unlikely.

"I love my second brother. I know it's wrong, but I can't control my feelings at all." Ximen Wuhen no longer concealed her feelings and calmly looked at Wushuang. Subconsciously, she believed in Wushuang. Besides, guarding a secret which cannot be spoken of was too stressful. This time, having a person to pour out her heart out to was certainly not a bad thing.

"But, he is your biological big brother. How can you develop such feelings for him?" Wushuang said. There wasn't an expression of shock on her face. She only asked Ximen Wuhen and she didn't seem to be too curious.

A bitter smile slowly appeared on Ximen Wuhen's face and she explained to Wushuang in a soft voice. "Previously, I really hated my second brother. I hated him to the core. However, when I saw him again in Mea Principality, he had completely changed. I was slowly able to get along with him, and I fell hopelessly in love with him. Whenever I didn't see him, I couldn't help but have a longing feeling in my heart. When I get to see him, I would feel extremely delighted. Whenever I see him with other women, jealousy would full me and when he dotes on me, I would feel very happy. These feelings are the truest feelings I can ever have. Even if I could deceive others, I cannot deceive myself."

Wushuang lightly shook her head and sighed. A trace of pity appeared in her eyes when he looked at Ximen Wuhen. She held her ice-cold little hand and asked, "Then, what do you plan to do from now on? Do you truly want to stay beside him your entire life?"

"Mmm, this was already destined from the moment I fell in love with my second brother. I can only smile and stand at his side as his younger sister until I stop breathing one day." The tone of Ximen Wuhen was flat, but anyone could hear her firm determination.

Wushuang looked at Ximen Wuhen's slightly pale face. She felt unbearable as she was helpless. This kind of love was absolutely not possible in this secular world. Even Long Yi might not accept this kind of love. She knew that even though he was romantic and unreasonable, this matter was clearly beyond his scope of acceptance.

Other than consoling Ximen Wuhen, Wushuang couldn't think of any other things to say.

...…..

Early morning, sunlight spilled from the windowsill, and spotted light illuminated two bodies on the large bed. It seemed so harmonious and peaceful, but there was a bit of ** mixed into it.

In Long Yi's embrace, Long Ling'er opened her hazy and beautiful eyes as she moaned comfortably. Remembering the lonely two years without Long Yi in her life, she was extremely happy to experience sleeping with him again.

Long Ling'er bit her lower lip and her eyes shone. With a serene expression, Long Ling'er stared at Long Yi's face. Compared to two years ago, he looked more mature. After careful observation, she could see that Long Yi had grown manlier in the time he was away.

Long Ling'er involuntarily reached out her jade hands as she caressed Long Yi's face. Feeling the outline of his face, a happy expression appeared on her face.

"This lazy pig is actually still sleeping…" Long Ling'er muttered softly. Holding on to a lock of her hair, she mischievously stretched it to his nostrils.

"Eh, why is there no reaction?" When she saw that Long Yi had no reaction when she tickled his nose, Long Ling'er couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"So hateful! You scoundrel, you're pretending to be asleep!" Long Ling'er immediately realized what was going on. She quickly pounded her tiny fists on Long Yi's chest as she grumbled.

Long Yi smiled and opened his eyes. Lifting his hand, he easily caught her hands. A smile quickly formed on his face and he said, "Ling'er you seem to have gotten smarter. You were able to realize my trick so quickly, this is really unexpected."

"Laugh! I want you to laugh!" Long Ling'er pinched Long Yi's face as she grumbled in a flirty manner.

Crying out in pain, Long Yi reached out his hand and used his signature Breast Grabbing Dragon Claw.

Ah! Long Ling'er gasped and let out an involuntary moan. She instantly collapsed in Long Yi's bosom.

"Scoundrel! Why are you so cheeky now?" Long Ling'er bit on Long Yi's ear as she exhaled a breath of hot air into his ear. Her body temperature quickly rose as her heartbeat accelerated.

The breathing of Long Yi stagnated. The women around him were truly getting more and more disastrous. Each and every one of them knew how to topple cities with their bewitching magic. When he thought about it, they were all pure and innocent in the beginning. It was probably due to him that they were getting more playful now.

The word 'honest' was generally mediocre and incompetent when interpreted another way. As such, Long Yi was unsatisfied. In order to prove himself and in order to maintain the dignity of man, he revolted vigorously. Long Ling'er immediately changed into a kitty in Long Yi's hands. With her eyes half closed and her red lips half open, a pair of ** swayed back and forth under Long Yi's repeated attacks. This scene could directly challenge the limit of men's endurance.

When it was finally approaching noon, Long Yi held Long Ling'er as they lazily showed up in front of the other women. In an instant, Wushuang and the rest who were snacking immediately stopped their movements as they looked towards Long Yi and Long Ling'er. When Long Ling'er saw that there were so many pairs of eyes on her, she coyly shrunk behind Long Yi.

"Are all of you envious of her? Don't worry about it, how about all of us sleep together tonight?" Long Yi said with a smile.

"Long Yi, I don't mind! However, your younger sister is here with us too. Are you really going to sleep together with all of us?" Bertha laughed.

Ximen Wuhen's beautiful face flushed red the moment Bertha finished her sentence and before long, she became deathly pale. Currently, Ximen Wuhen was sensitive to such comments as she was extremely conscious about the secret she was hiding in her heart. She knew that Bertha had unintentionally mentioned it, but she couldn't help but feel dejected when someone reminded her that Long Yi was her brother.

"Get lost! Little fox, if you say such things again, I'll seal your mouth." Long Yi couldn't help but scold Bertha when he saw Ximen Wuhen's expression.

Bertha stuck out her tongue at Long Yi as she seemed to have thought of something. "Long Yi, just a moment ago, my aunt sent a message to me. The message was directed to you. She wants to meet you face to face in the Intoxicated Fragrance House."

"Okay, let's all pack up and go together. We have to go for lunch anyway." Long Yi nodded his head and Mea Empress' sexy figure appeared in his mind. Her beautiful face flashed in his mind right after Long Yi thought of her attractive figure and he couldn't wait to meet her. That special flavor was certainly fatal to any man and it was extremely dangerous at the same time.

<< Property of Creative Novels . com >>

After waiting for all of the women to get ready, Long Yi left the inn leading the way. They walked towards the Intoxicated Fragrance House, causing chaos on the way.

The moment they stepped out on the street, everyone moved to the side in order to let them pass. Of course, they didn't move because of Long Yi's kingly aura. They moved to the side because of the radiance of the women beside him. The radiance they emitted was comparable to the sun, not to mention that there were so many of them. When Long Yi thought about it, any one of the five women behind him was beautiful enough to cause the fall of a country. The moment all five of them appeared on the street at once, everyone was shocked beyond belief. They involuntarily moved sideways in order to let the women pass. Even after the five of them left, the street was filled with a lingering fragrance.

The group of six arrived at the Intoxicated Fragrance House before long, and the manager was already waiting for them at the door. There were servants beside the manager, and they were waiting to welcome Long Yi and his group.

When Long Yi thought of entering the Intoxicated Fragrance House with the five women, he caught a glimpse of an old man in the corner of his eye. The old man was carrying fruits which came from the Hengduan Mountains, and he was using his hand to make secret gestures. After finishing his gestures, he pretended as though nothing had happened and he used the towel hanging on his neck to wipe his bark-like hand.

After thinking about it for a moment, Long Yi said to the women, "All of you can go in first. I have something to attend to, I'll join you in a moment."

None of the five women questioned further. They simply nodded their head as they walked into the Intoxicated Fragrance House together. On the periphery of the Intoxicated Fragrant House, there were crowds of people who gathered there to take a look at the beauties. After the five of them entered the Intoxicated Fragrance House, the crowds naturally dispersed as there was nothing to see anymore.

The old man who was at the side of the street acted as if nothing happened as he walked into an alley. With a pace which was neither fast nor slow, the old man slowly walked towards a broken and worn out gate after passing a few more alleys. Long Yi followed behind him without a single word.

The moment the old man entered the courtyard, he placed the things he was carrying onto the floor. His somewhat hunched back straightened and a heroic aura burst out of him.

When he looked at the old man, Long Yi raised his eyebrows and instantly burst into laughter. "**, even if you pretended to be mysterious, how can you escape from this young master? Even if you morph into ashes, you cannot escape my eyes."

The old man turned around and muttered an incantation. Along with a flash of green light, the withered old face of the man started to change. In seconds, the face became fair and clear. With that infuriating ** expression on his face, who else could it be other than **?

Chapter 424: Alone with Mea Empress

"Subordinate Yin Jian pays respect to Young Master." Yin Jian respectfully greeted Long Yi.

"Spare the courtesies. For you to come in person, did something of great importance happen?" Long Yi waved his hand and asked.

"Replying young master, something indeed happened. This subordinate found out about a very important matter and I have to let Young Master know right away." Yin Jian's expression became solemn and he quickly addressed the problem.

When Long Yi saw Yin Jian's expression, he raised his eyebrows and he knew that something big definitely happened. Yin Jian took two steps forward and whispered into Long Yi's ear. Long Yi's complexion changed the moment he heard what Yin Jian said. His eyes became sharp and emitted a fierce radiance.

...

"Where did that damned fellow go? Why isn't he here yet?" Bertha murmured to herself as she sat beside the Mea Empress. Around the table, Wushuang and the rest stared at each other as there was nothing else to do.

"Bertha, Young Master Ximen have something else to do, which resulted in him being late. Don't be impatient." Mea Empress rebuked Bertha. Giving an apologetic smile to Wushuang and the others, Mea Empress seemed to be apologizing to them for Long Yi's behavior.

Just as everyone was wondering where Long Yi was, the door of the room burst open. Long Yi stepped through the door as he chided Bertha, "Little fox, are you speaking badly of me again? Is your ** itching?"

Bertha creased her nose and made a wry smile towards Long Yi.

"Young Master Ximen, I am truly glad to see you again." Seeing as Long Yi had arrived, Mea Empress Lian Xin stood up gracefully to greet Long Yi. She bowed slightly towards Long Yi and she had a gentle smile on her beautiful face. This greeting from Mea Empress made her look very noble and enchanting.

Long Yi's heart jumped and his sharp eyes sized Mea Empress up. He instantly knew that she was a woman of great beauty, and his gaze remained glued to her towering chest. After staring at her ** for quite some time, Long Yi's gaze finally shifted to Mea Empress' face. With a cheeky smile on Long Yi's face, he said, "I am also very glad to see the empress again. I can't help but to think of the old days whenever I look at you."

Mea Empress laughed softly took advantage of everyone's lapse in concentration. She secretly sent a seductive glare towards Long Yi and lightly winked at him.

As if electricity was flowing all over his body, Long Yi shuddered. Long Yi had never thought that he would fall to Mea Empress' seductions. He knew that she was a peerless beauty, but he also knew that the women surrounding him were peerless beauties as well. It doesn't matter. Long Yi had decided that Mea Empress must pay for stirring up the fire in him.

Long Yi took his seat. Since he was late, the dishes and wine were already served. The dishes were so exquisite that they were rarely seen even in the dining room of the imperial family. Honestly speaking, it had already been a long time since Long Yi had eaten such delicacies. Ever since the time Long Yi left the Nalan Empire, he had been traveling to extremely remote places. Where could he find time to enjoy meals like this? Although Long Yi was a good cook, he lacked the necessary seasonings and other kitchen utensils. Just like how the cleverest housewife can't cook a good meal without rice, Long Yi was unable to make full use of his cooking skills. Not to mention the fact that even though Long Yi had good roasting and grilling skills, wouldn't he be fed up with eating roasted and grilled meat for every meal?

All of the women surrounding the table ate gracefully, but Long Yi was acting like a hungry ghost. Wiping out dishes after dishes, it was as though Long Yi had a black hole for a stomach. Grabbing a big mouthful of meat, he coupled it with a huge gulp of wine. With his mouth full of food, oil was flowing out from the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master Ximen, haven't you been eating for the past few days?" Mea Empress asked with shock in her voice when she saw the way Long Yi ate.

"This is the way this Young Master eats. You'll get used to it in the future. Look at them, do they have any reaction to the way I eat?" Long Yi smiled as he pointed to Wushuang and the others. The only reply he got was five pair of eye rolls.

Mea Empress covered her mouth and she let out a small giggle. Although the way Long Yi ate appeared unrefined and rude, there was a certain charm to it. It gave Long Yi a manly aura.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Empress. If you have nothing else for me, we'll take out leave." Long Yi stroke his bulging stomach as he sipped on a mouthful of tea. Anyone could see that Long Yi was extremely satisfied with the meal and was ready to head back.

"Where are you going?" Before Mea Empress could open her mouth, Bertha couldn't help but ask Long Yi. After spending so much time with Long Yi, she was beginning to ask more questions. There were so many things which made her curious after all. Especially Long Yi's behavior.

"Of course I'm heading over to Yatesianna. Just take a look at the weather! It won't be long before all the snow and ice melts. How can I be missing the moment the war starts?" Long Yi said with a smile.

"That was fast!" Bertha was not the only one who exclaimed at Long Yi's intentions. Mea Empress, Long Ling'er and Ximen Wuhen also shouted at practically the same time.

"Why? Are you all unwilling to part with me? I have never expected my charm to be this strong." Long Yi said with a smirk on his face.

"Young Master Ximen, this little woman here has something to discuss with you. I wonder if it is possible for us to have a talk alone?" Mea Empress hastily stood up as she knew that Long Yi wasn't joking when he said that he wanted to leave.

"Okay, no problem." Long Yi winked at Mea Empress and said with a naughty expression on his face. Instead of replying Long Yi, Mea Empress only gave him a slight smile. It was as though she had too much on her mind in order to joke around with Long Yi.

Entering another compartment, Mea Empress instantly used the Sound Insulation Barrier and the Defense Barrier Pearl in order to isolate them from the outside world.

"Why do you have so many layers of protection? Are you trying to bind yourself in a cocoon?" Long Yi stared at Mea Empress' bewitching body and couldn't help but feel something stirring inside of him.

"It doesn't matter. Even if I am making a cocoon to bind myself, I won't regret anything." Mea Empress shed off her dignified expression she used to have. In an instant, she changed into a charming and tempting woman which would cause all men to sin. Instead of avoiding Long Yi's ** gaze, she met it head on. It was as though she was challenging him to do something bad.

"Will you truly not regret anything?" Long Yi smiled and took two steps towards Mea Empress. Reaching out his hand, he raised Mea Empress' snow white chin. Staring into her eyes, Long Yi's heartbeat accelerated.

"Of course I won't regret it. Does Young Master Ximen want this little woman to prove it?" Mea Empress fearlessly said. Grabbing the belt on her waist, she gently gave it a tug. Her clothes lapel instantly slid to the sides and her snow-white skin was revealed to Long Yi.

Long Yi was shocked. He only thought of flirting with Mea Empress, and he didn't think that she would be so bold. He hastily retreated two steps, but his eyes were glued to her towering soft and white **. However, Long Yi was quickly disappointed as Mea Empress wasn't wearing a pair of silk underwear. There was a layer of tightly wrapped pink gown around her ** and he wasn't able to see anything.

Mea Empress smiled. Peeling off the outer layer of her clothing, Mea Empress fanned herself with her hands. With a playful grin on her face, Mea Empress said, "This little woman was only feeling a little hot in here. I hope Young Master Ximen wouldn't mind."

"I don't mind, even if you take off another piece of clothing, I won't mind at all." Long Yi rolled his eyes and said.

"Since Young Master Ximen gave the order, this little woman has no choice but to obey." Mea Empress smiled and she started to take off her pink gown.

The eyes of Long Yi widened and he jumped onto the soft sofa. With a wry smile on his face, Long Yi was simply stunned speechless. "I say, wearing so many layers, don't you feel hot?" Long Yi rolled his eyes yet again as he saw that there was another layer of clothing under her pink gown.

"Of course I'm not afraid of the heat. This little woman has been afraid of the cold since birth. If Young Master Ximen were to ask this little woman to take off another piece of clothing, I could guarantee that there would be a layer of green underwear underneath." Mea Empress was still wearing a piece of clothing which was considerably thick. Her green underwear was vaguely visible under her thick clothes. However, Long Yi knew that there were definitely other layers of clothing under her green underwear.

"Forget it, no need to bother. You should start talking about the things that truly matter. Why did you call me in for a talk?" Long Yi didn't feel like playing with Mea Empress any longer. As such, he wanted Mea Empress to quickly speak about the matters which was bothering her.

Mea Empress' expression changed the moment Long Yi asked her to speak. It seemed as though she was afraid of Long Yi's reaction to what she was going to say. After some slight hesitation, Mea Empress knew that Long Yi was getting impatient. "Now, the beast-men clans are experiencing internal chaos. Due to the fact that the Bimeng Imperial Family was openly conscripting beast-men clans to work under them, the other clans seem to be dissatisfied with the Bimeng Imperial Family. This is the best time to revive our Fox Clan. I hope that Young Master Ximen will help us."

Long Yi naturally knew about the situations in the Hengduan Mountains. He also knew that this was the best opportunity for the Fox Clan to revive. Moreover, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos and give the Fox Clan a high position.

"Young Master Ximen, I remember our deal in the past. Now that Bertha had already cultivated the Hundred Transformation Clones, she no longer needs to maintain a virgin body. We can now agree to Young Master Ximen's conditions." Mea Empress looked at Long Yi and as she gritted her teeth. In any case, she had already realized Bertha's feelings for Long Yi.

Long Yi smiled waved his hand, dismissing whatever Mea Empress just said. "At that time, I was merely joking. Forget about it. I refuse every other condition set by you as well." Long Yi spoke up after dismissing Mea Empress' concerns.

"Does that mean Young Master Ximen agree to help us?" Mea Empress asked with ecstasy in her voice.

"Yes, I agree. If your Fox Clan manage to claim a high position in the beast-men clans, I would be able to profit from it too. Since it is a win-win situation for the both of us, why not do it?" Long Yi said as he confirmed her suspicions.

"Then..."

"Wait for my messenger. He is my subordinate and he'll be in charge of helping you. With his abilities, there is no way for you to fail." The person Long Yi was talking about was naturally Yin Jian. He had already established an intelligence network in the Hengduan Mountains. Not to mention the fact that he had already infiltrated the Bimeng Imperial Family. He was definitely the best candidate for the job.

"That's fine. The person chosen by Young Master Ximen is definitely capable enough. This little woman will wait for him." Mea Empress said with a smile.

Nodding his head, Long Yi continued, "We have already drunk and eaten to heart's content. I will not disturb you any longer."

"Young Master Ximen, are you leaving Mea Principality?" Mea Empress asked.

"Yes, it is time for me to leave." When Long Yi thought of Yin Jian's intelligence report, his eyes shone with excitement.

"Then, this little woman will not force Young Master Ximen to stay. I hope Young Master Ximen have... have a good trip." Mea Empress' voice trembled towards the end of her sentence.

Raising his eyebrows, Long Yi looked towards Mea Empress in curiosity. He didn't know whether he was seeing things, but he felt as though Mea Empress looked much paler compared to before.

"Are you okay?" Long Yi asked in confusion. Could it be possible that there was a problem with his vision?

"Of course, I am fine. What could possibly happen to me? If Young Master Ximen doesn't leave now, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to rush to Yatesianna in time. Moreover, the sun is going to set soon. Young Master Ximen should get going." Mea Empress tightened the layer of thick clothes on her and she pretended as though nothing was wrong. However, Long Yi could see that she was shivering even though she wore so many layers of clothing.

Long Yi was instantly suspicious of Mea Empress. She was obviously trying to conceal something from him. Also, it seemed as though she couldn't wait to be rid of him.

"That's all right, I like to travel at night. I like to look at the moon, stars, and beauties while I travel. Also, the night is cool and comfortable. How about we drink a cup of tea while we chat? I still have many questions about your Fox Clan. Now that we have started our cooperation, we should try to understand each other better." Long Yi didn't get up and his gaze moved about without any concern.

Mea Empress gritted her teeth and reached out to pick up her pink gown. Just as she tried to put it on, Long Yi's hand shot towards her towering **.

Chapter 425: Following a mysterious beautiful lady

Mea Empress was flabbergasted. Before she had the time to react, she felt as though her chest was freezing. That layer of thick gauze was already torn away by Long Yi, leaving only a piece of transparent green underwear.

Long Yi's body trembled and his eyes widened. Instead of an eager expression on his face, Long Yi had a face full of surprise.

Mea Empress eventually came back to her senses and she noticed Long Yi's shocked expression. She could see that he had a sad expression on his face when he looked at her. Picking up the pink gown, she quietly wrapped it over herself.

"How did this happen?" Long Yi suppressed his shock and asked in a low voice. He was simply unable to imagine Mea Empress, this kind of highest grade fine-jade like woman would have such an ugly appearance underneath. Her skin was a mixture of green and blank, which made her look extremely sick.

Mea Empress' mouth slightly twitched and she sighed softly, "I knew that this would happen one day. I never had the bloodline of the silver fox running through my veins, however, I still forcibly cultivated the Vanishing Magic and the Thousand Extreme Illusions. This is my punishment."

"Is there a way to cure it?" Long Yi asked.

Shaking her head, Mea Empress slowly explained, "It's too late to save me now. Heaven was already kind enough to allow me to live for such a long time. At first, I thought that I wouldn't be alive to see Bertha return to me. I had even prepared my will in case Bertha fails to return before I leave this world. To my surprise, I was able to see both you and Bertha before my I die. I am already perfectly content."

Grabbing Mea Empress' little hand, Long Yi injected his spirit power and internal energy into her. During his examination, he discovered that the meridians in her entire body and five of the major organs in her body had begun to fail. Upon further examination, he found out that they were actually withering. It was already beyond any human's capability to save her.

"It's okay, you don't need to feel sad for me. Your agreement to help our Fox Clan reach a high position among the beast-men clans is enough for me to pass away without any regrets." Mea Empress shook off Long Yi's hand and she said with a thin smile on her face. She was completely indifferent when she spoke about dying. It was as though she had already seen through life and death.

Sitting on the sofa, Long Yi didn't say anything. He rubbed his chin and he appeared as though he was deep in thought.

.......

As the night deepened, Long Yi lied on a bed of grass surrounded by Wushuang, Nalan Ruyue, Long Ling'er, and Ximen Wuhen. They were enjoying themselves in a remote place in the Mea Holy Magic Academy and there was no one around to bother them.

"My husband, wasn't our plan to leave today? Why have you decided to stay?" Nalan Ruyue asked while massaging Long Yi's leg.

"Of course it is for big sister Shui Ruoyan. Am I right, you bad fellow?" Long Ling'er said with a knowing smirk on her face.

"You're getting smarter. Didn't you say that that girl is acting mysteriously? If I don't know what Ruoyan is up to, I won't be able to leave with a peaceful mind." Long Yi grinned as he confirmed her words.

"Oh, and here I am thinking about why second brother didn't look for her in the daytime. So you were indeed trying to find out what big sister Shui Ruoyan is up to. Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be following her?" Ximen Wuhen asked curiously.

"Why would I track her myself? Such labor intensive work should be left to the subordinates. Naturally, someone will help me to track her. All of you don't have to worry." Long Yi smiled and he quickly explained to the girls.

"Bad fellow, aren't you worried about big sister Shui Ruoyan?" Long Ling'er frowned.

"Of course I am worried about her. However, the thing I am worried about isn't her having a lover's rendezvous behind my back. I'm more worried for her safety." Long Yi looked up into the starry skies and he felt as though there was something wrong. He was suspicious that everything wasn't as simple as it seemed.

All of a sudden, magnificent fireworks lit up the sky. It formed a beautiful pattern in the sky. For everyone else, this might be ordinary magic fireworks. However, it had a completely different meaning for Long Yi.

"I will go and take a look. You should all stay here and continue with whatever you were doing." Long Yi turned around and rushed in a hurry the moment he saw the fireworks.

Although the four women were unwilling to see Long Yi go, they knew that it was useless for them to persuade Long Yi to stay. Looking at the serious expression on his face, they knew that it was impossible to change his mind.

Long Yi instantly disappeared into the night as he left behind a few afterimages. After few seconds, he quietly appeared outside the grove in the eastern suburbs of Mea Principality.

There was a layer of strong barrier outside this place. Although it was hidden, Long Yi could sense a trace of dark aura surrounding this place.

"Why is there so much dark aura here? Are the people of the Dark Church here as well? This is strange. Why would Shui Ruoyan come into contact with people from the Dark Church?" Long Yi frowned as he muttered to himself.

He couldn't break this barrier as it would notify the caster of his presence. Although he wasn't afraid of the people who casted the barrier, he didn't have any intentions to let them know about his arrival. He only wanted to find out what Shui Ruoyan was up to, and who she was meeting with.

Long Yi used his internal energy of AoTainJue to wrap his entire body up. He used his spirit power to make a fine net in order to contain his aura. Taking two steps forwards, Long Yi touched the barrier. Seeing as there was no fluctuation, Long Yi sighed in relief.

Before long, Long Yi passed through the barrier and entered the grove. The barrier instantly restored itself to its original state.

Inside the woods, there was no other mechanism to detect his presence. Long Yi was like a fish in water as he advanced towards the center of the grove. Using the cover from the darkness, Long Yi quickly arrived at his destination.

"Mother, I have already cultivated the first stage of the Ninth Heaven Dark Magic." Long Yi was able to hear Shui Ruoyan's voice in the darkness.

Long Yi was surprised. Ninth Heaven Dark Magic was the magic belonging to the Dark Church. Only the direct descendants of the Dark Pope could learn this magic. Long Yi only knew about this magic because of Feng Ling. He concealed his aura and fully integrated into the darkness. He saw two graceful figures at the center of this grove. One of them was Shui Ruoyan and the other was a blue-eyed beautiful lady. This beautiful lady was looking at Shui Ruoyan with love in her eyes, but Long Yi could feel a kind of bone-chilling coldness coming from her.

Mother? Long Yi was surprised. He knew a little about Shui Ruoyan's background, but he never imagined that her mother was such a dangerous woman. From the Ninth Heaven Dark Magic she was teaching Shui Ruoyan, he was sure that she was from the Dark Church. Of course, she definitely had a high status in the Dark Church in order to get her hands on the Ninth Heaven Dark Magic. Suddenly, a thought appeared in Long Yi's heart. Feng Ling also had blue eyes and she vaguely resembled this beautiful lady. Could it be that this beautiful lady was also Feng Ling's mother? However, Shui Ruoyan was addressing this beautiful lady as her mother. Could it be that Feng Ling and Shui Ruoyan were sisters? Long Yi thought of this possibility and an indescribable feeling appeared in his heart. He began to understand the reason behind Shui Linglong's behavior. Thinking about how Shui Linglong tried to separate her son from this beautiful woman, he started drawing some conclusions.

"Very good, Ruoyan, your progress is even faster than your father's." The beautiful lady caressed Shui Ruoyan's beautiful face.

"Mother, when can I see my father?" Shui Ruoyan asked. Ever since the time she grew up in Shui Linglong's care, she was deprived of affectionate love. As a result Shui Ruoyan didn't distance herself from her mother when she first appeared before her. This was her greatest desire from her childhood.

The beautiful lady sighed softly and said, "In these last few years, your grandmother never forgave your father and me. Your father is always thinking about your grandmother, but he had sworn that he wouldn't see her unless she forgives us."

"Why would mother appear before me now?" Shui Ruoyan became silent for a while before asking.

"The oath included me too, but mother was no longer able to bear the pain of separation with you. I wanted to see my flesh and blood no matter what, so even if the oath came through and I die, I wouldn't regret anything." The beautiful lady said and she couldn't help but break down.

"Mother!" When Shui Ruoyan heard about her mother's sacrifice, she affectionately hugged her.

————

The mother and daughter hugged each other. The beautiful lady gently patted Shui Ruyan's back and her sad expression slowly turned into a complicated one. Shui Ruoyan wasn't able to see this change, but Long Yi saw everything clearly.

What does this woman want to do? Long Yi's eyes sharpened when he thought of various possibilities.

"Ruoyan, your mother has to return now. You must work hard in your cultivation. Also, you can't forget our agreement. You must not tell anyone about this, not a single soul. Do you understand?" After a good while, the beautiful lady retracted her complicated gaze. She whispered into Shui Ruoyan's ear as she got ready to leave.

"I understand. However, can't you stay for a few more days?" The tone of Shui Ruoyan showed her dependence and reluctance to see her mother leave.

"Mother wants to stay as well, but I can't delay any longer. Mother must return to the church today." The beautiful lady sighed softly and pushed Shui Ruoyan away.

Holding onto Shui Ruoyan's face, she stared into Shui Ruoyan's eyes.

Shui Ruoyan nodded her head and remained silent. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she knew that her mother was going to leave her again.

"Obedient child, don't be sad. As long as you follow mother's teachings closely, our family would be able to reunite soon. You'll be able to see your father and younger sister soon." The beautiful lady wiped off Shui Ruoyan's tears and she quietly consoled her.

"Young sister? How is my younger sister now?" Shui Ruoyan asked. She was very happy in her heart. She was happy as she found out that she had a younger sister. She was unexpectedly a big sister! This gave her a pleasant surprise.

"She is doing very well. She makes so much noise about meeting her big sister, and she would be very excited to meet you. You must not disappoint mother, do you understand?" The beautiful lady said.

Nodding her head, Shui Ruoyan strengthened her resolve to get stronger.

"Okay, it is already late. Mother should leave now. Take good care of yourself." The beautiful lady hugged Shui Ruoyan again as she patted her back. As she released her grip on Shui Ruoyan, she took a deep breath and stared hard at Shui Ruoyan. With a single wave of her little hand, the barrier she erected disappeared into the darkness together with her.

"Mother..." Shui Ruoyan cried and took two steps forward with tearful eyes.

Long Yi turned around and disappeared from his location. He followed her dark aura and chased after the beautiful woman.

After chasing the dark aura for ten minutes, he could see that the figure in the distance.

"Beauty, why are you running away so urgently? How about you stop and accompany this young master for a drink?" Long Yi emitted his powerful spirit power to suppress the surrounding area. Lightning magic element spirits formed a silverish purple barrier around the beautiful lady and Long Yi stared straight at her.
