Chapter 1419: 1419
“Oh . ”
Only now did Long Chen take back his hand . And it was only at this time that he felt that particular feeling .
Before this, he hadn’t dared to have any thoughts with his life in his opponent’s hands . Now the danger had passed, and only then did he feel that moving sensation .
Soft, ample, plump, bouncy . That was what he sensed in the instant that he removed his hand .
“Thank you for your praise,” said Leng Yueyan .
“Ah, it’s just the truth,” said Long Chen without thinking about it . But his expression quickly changed as he realized Leng Yueyan’s Voidpiercing Eyes were seeing through his thoughts .
He instinctively retreated several steps and raised the pot in preparation for a battle . Leng Yueyan’s bone sword was already raised .
However, Leng Yueyan didn’t attack . She simply sheathed the bone sword on her back . The bone sword and bone scabbard looked like they had been carved of fine jade . No one would expect the bone sword to be such a terrifying weapon .
Long Chen felt awkward, but he also felt a burst of fury . Leng Yueyan had definitely done this on purpose to embarrass him .
“That pot’s not bad,” said Leng Yueyan .
“It’s good for cooking,” said Long Chen randomly . He wished he had more to say, but despite feeling that he was pretty eloquent, he had no idea what to say to this killing goddess .
Leng Yueyan’s mood changed at the drop of a pin . Who knew what he might say that would cause her to suddenly attack him?
He wanted to leave, but he also felt that would be a feeble display . Worst of all, he couldn’t try to think of anything, or it would be read by Leng Yueyan .
“Let’s sit together!” Leng Yueyan slowly sat on a clean rock nearby . She indicated for Long Chen to join her .
However, he was a man, and he thickened his skin and sat beside her, keeping the pot beside him . That was the only thing that gave him a slight sense of safety .
“Long Chen, do you feel like I’m crazy?” asked Leng Yueyan quietly as she stared into the distance .
“Can I not reply?” probed Long Chen .
“No . ”
“If I tell the truth, will I be attacked?”
“I can’t guarantee anything . ”
“Oh, then no I don’t . ”
“Tell the truth,” demanded Leng Yueyan .
“I’m afraid of being attacked . ” Long Chen shook his head .
“If you don’t, then I’ll attack you right now . ” Leng Yueyan slowly raised her hand to her back .
“Cough, in truth, you’re not that bad . At least your craziness is intermittent . ” Long Chen put it in the nicest way possible .
Leng Yueyan lowered her head and was silent for a long time . Long Chen was feeling uneasy . He didn’t know when this woman would start being crazy again . This kind of waiting was torture .
He was like a prisoner waiting to be executed, but his execution date wasn’t set . He wasn’t allowed to relax at all and had to be ready for the executioner’s blade at any moment .
Leng Yueyan looked at her feet, which repeatedly brushed against the sand . It was unknown what she was thinking .
“I’ve decided . I won’t kill you . ” Finally, Leng Yueyan raised her head . Looking at the sky, she sighed .
“Really?” Long Chen was stunned . Had she been cured?
“Yes, really . Congratulations . ” Leng Yueyan turned to stare at Long Chen . For some unknown reason, her sapphire eyes had become much dimmer .
“You… what’s wrong?” Long Chen was startled . The current Leng Yueyan didn’t look like a killing goddess at all . Instead, she seemed like a pitiable girl who had lost all hope .
“What? Is this not good?” Leng Yueyan smiled . Although her smile was beautiful, it seemed miserable . Seeing that smile made Long Chen’s heart ache .
However, it wasn’t as if he could ask her to continue hunting him down . If he did, wouldn’t that mean he had caught her illness?
“If you have any secret sorrows, you can tell me . I might be able to help,” said Long Chen sincerely .
Long Chen felt a strange mix of emotions when it came to Leng Yueyan . He wasn’t able to describe it . She was like the legendary Hellflower .
Legend was that those who saw it would be attracted by its body . Despite knowing that approaching it meant death, they were unable to resist the allure . Even if they were to die, they had to get closer .
Leng Yueyan gave Long Chen the same feeling . Leng Yueyan was both beautiful and dangerous, but for some reason, Long Chen had a desire to protect her .
That kind of thinking was very foolish and very dangerous . It was also very stimulating . He was unable to extricate himself from her .
“You bastard, why did you have to treat me so well? If you hadn’t, I would be able to keep trying to kill you . ” Leng Yueyan smiled as she cursed him . But tears had appeared in her eyes .
Leng Yueyan got closer to Long Chen . She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest .
Long Chen spread his arms, not daring to move . His spine was rigid, and his goosebumps rippled .
This should have been a very alluring action, but being hugged by Leng Yueyan, Long Chen felt a chill .
“It’s over for me . Even the pot won’t be able to save me this time . ”
At this distance, if Leng Yueyan wanted to kill him, he would definitely die . He cursed inside . Well, if he died, then he died . He embraced Leng Yueyan, softly patting her hair .
“Other than killing me, can’t you find something else to do with me?” Long Chen bitterly smiled .
“No . Before you, I was constantly searching for targets . But after encountering you, I realized that in this world, only you could…” Leng Yueyan shook her head, cutting herself off in the middle of her words . “Long Chen, if I one day die, will you feel bad?”
“Yes, I’ll feel very bad,” replied Long Chen .
“Then that’s good . Thank you . ”
Leng Yueyan suddenly laughed while crying . Her smile was like a blooming flower, while her tears were like pearls of dew . That was an indescribable beauty .
“Yueyan, can’t we properly talk one time? Whatever words you have in your heart, tell me . I’ll keep your secret, and I’ll help you think of what to do,” promised Long Chen . He knew Leng Yueyan had her own secrets . But she never revealed those .
“Aren’t you the same as well? You have just as many secrets as me . Do you tell them to your brothers and sisters?” retorted Leng Yueyan .
“I…”
“It’s useless to share some secrets with others, so there’s no need to reveal them . I’ve already figured out my path forward . I’ll have to rely on myself to resolve things, and I can’t rely on others . ”
Leng Yueyan stood, the tears and smile on her face vanishing . Her icy expression appeared once more . The killing goddess was back .
“You weren’t sleeptalking just now, right? Are you going to start trying to kill me again now?” Long Chen asked suspiciously upon seeing her return to this state .
The current Leng Yueyan felt like a completely different person than the one who had been speaking to him a moment ago . If he couldn’t smell her scent, he might even think he had been caught in an illusion before .
“Don’t worry, I said I wouldn’t kill you . Furthermore, I’ll sever the karma between us . We’ll walk our own paths in the future,” said Leng Yueyan .
“Why does that sound a bit hurtful?” Long Chen bitterly smiled, feeling like the emotions that had just appeared in Leng Yueyan had been cut off by a knife .
“This battlefield has something I need, so I’m going to search for it . This calm place that we’re in is a special place where experts once died . It can be considered a pure land within this chaos . They used their own bodies to create minor worlds in their deaths . Because they died, the minor worlds became even weaker, and within a Sovereign’s pressure, these minor worlds form layers upon layers . If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to find heaven-defying treasures . Long Chen, goodbye . I will return your favor of not killing me twice . ” After Leng Yueyan finished talking, she took out her bone sword and slashed the air .
Divine light rippled on the sword tip, and the void was cut open like it was a piece of cloth . Leng Yueyan glanced back at Long Chen for a moment before stepping into that opening .
Through the other side of the opening, Long Chen saw a dark and gloomy world . Before he could see any details, the opening closed and it vanished . All that was before him was this barren desert .
Long Chen was unable to calm himself for a long time . Although he had escaped from Leng Yueyan’s irrational, vexing killing, he didn’t feel the slightest joy . Instead, he felt disappointment .
When Leng Yueyan had asked him if he would feel bad if she died, a vague sense of unease had appeared in his heart .
After she said she would give up trying to kill him, her bright eyes had immediately lost their luster . That scene was deeply imprinted in his mind .
Just what secrets did Leng Yueyan have? Why did she want to kill him, and why did the Eastern Wasteland Bell say that she was a pitiable person?
These questions tumbled through Long Chen’s mind, but he couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer .
Other than that, he didn’t understand what she meant by severing the karma between them . Karma was something so vague that people on their level shouldn’t be able to touch it yet .
He felt like his head would split . But since Leng Yueyan refused to answer, he didn’t have the slightest solution to her problems .
Swinging his head, he gave up trying to figure it out . Without being told the riddle, who could possibly find the answer?
BOOM!
Long Chen followed Leng Yueyan’s actions, and he swung his pot through the air . A huge opening actually appeared in the void . Long Chen looked inside and jumped in .
