Chapter 1410 - 1410: Not Left Out
Chapter 1410 – 1410: Not Left Out
Long Chen nodded. He had come here for Phoenix Blood. It didn't matter if he had to go there himself. Moreover, it wasn't as if he was going to fight them. All he needed was to make a deal with them to give him a single droplet of blood.
"Will you come with me to Phoenix Realm?" Long Chen asked. "Will your family even allow it after the entire episode of you running away?"
"I think I can get permission from them. We don't have any enmity with the Phoenix Clan. So if I make some nice excuse, I might get permission."
"Do you have any particular excuse in your head?" Long Chen asked.
"Of course," Zhu Chang laughed. "I can say I need to go to the Phoenix Realm for some practice for the Upcoming Battles of the Heirs. Or I can say I just want to go for sightseeing. I think I can find a way."
"So, want to try?" he asked.
Long Chen nodded.
"Good. It's decided then. If we can't find a stray Phoenix in the Plum Blossom Mountain, we'll go to their house. However, the chance of finding one in the Plum Blossom Mountain isn't rare either.
After finishing the explanation, Long Chen was taken back to the courtyards. It was already getting late, and they needed to leave tomorrow.
"Tell everyone that you'll be leaving, so they don't worry. I'll see you in the morning when it's time to leave." Zhu Chang patted Long Chen's shoulder before he left.
Long Chen walked inside the courtyard where all the ladies seemed to be discussing something.
"Nope. I don't think showing our talent would make her so impressed that she'll decide to teach her. We need to go the emotional route."
"I agree. If we can make her pity us, she might actually think about helping us get stronger. Let's just tell her the truth about why we want to be stronger and how we're too weak. I'm sure that would work better."
"I don't think it will. Why will she even think it's worth her time to teach us just because we cried to her. We need to show how talented we are and how it'll be worth it for her."
"What are you all talking about?" Long Chen finally asked, looking at all this discussion in confusion.
"We were trying to think of a way to get help in training. We need to convince her to train us as well."
"Hmm, that's certainly true. You know what, let me make it easier. I'll ask her personally to help you train. Leave it on me. While I'm away, she can help you train. It'll keep you busy as well."
"While you're away?" Xun asked.
"Yeah. Apparently I'll be leaving tomorrow to see the Plum Blossom Mountain to help the Snake Monarch with the blood he needs. It might take a week or more before I return," Long Chen explained, sitting on the bed. "It's very important that I go."
"I'll be coming with you as well!" Xun stated. "I think you're going to need my help in this realm. Since I'm not a Treasure Spirit, I can't help you through the ring, but I still have the knowledge that might come in handy!"
"I'll have Zhu Chang with me for knowledge," Long Chen replied. "Don't worry. He went there before. He says it's a perfectly safe place."
"If it's a perfectly safe place, I'm sure there won't be any problem with me coming? Right?" Xun asked, using Long Chen's words against himself.
"You… Why do you even want to come? It's not a vacation. When I said it's a safe place, I meant for people who have enough strength like me and Zhu Chang. You won't be safe."
"If there are any dangers, you can send me to your Inner World. Moreover, don't underestimate me. I have grown stronger as well, especially with the skills I was able to remember from my memories inside the ring with time. I think I can be safe," Xun replied.
"I'm coming as well," Mingyu said. "She is right. You can send us back in case of danger."
"I will come too in that case," Zhiqing said as well.
Slowly, everyone started saying the same thing.
"If you all come, who will stay behind with father and mother? Moreover, won't Li Yi think that we don't like her hospitality, that's why most of us preferred to leave instead of staying here?"
"Also, why do you want to waste time there with me instead of staying here and training with a Godly Beast! She is literally one of the strongest Beasts in this universe."
"She can teach you so much. Don't waste the opportunity. Moreover, it's not like I'm going forever. A week will pass before you even know it."
"It's final. None of you will be coming with me. And I don't want any objections. That's it. I'll go tell mother and others about it as well," Long Chen said before he left.
He informed the rest of his family as well that she would be leaving for a short time. After convincing everyone, he came back to his room, noticing all the ladies sitting while pouting.
They all looked upset that they didn't get what they wanted.
"You do realize that it's been a thousand years since we spent time with you, don't you? And still, you don't want to take us?" Zhiqing asked.
"Hmm? Now that I think about it, it's certainly been a thousand years. A thousand years since I've spent time with you," Long Chen said. He closed the door behind him. "A thousand years since I've had you in my embrace… A thousand years since we…"
"You're right. I can't leave just like that. I also need a memory. Let me make it an unforgettable night." He stepped closer to the ladies.
Hearing his words, everyone's face turned red. They didn't think it was going to be the outcome for their results. Moreover, when all six of them were here? Moreover, Xun was also here! How could he be so shameless?
Long Chen didn't care about anything though.
He simply held the hand of Mingyu and pulled her into his embrace as she was closest to him.
"What happened? Why is your face so red?" Long Chen asked, adjusting Mingyu's bangs behind her ears while looking at her embarrassed face.
"N-not before everyone."
"Don't worry.. They won't be left out either," Long Chen said, tracing his finger behind Mingyu's back gently, sending a tingling sensation all around her body.
