Chapter 495 - Strip

When Long Chen saw Liu Yiyi kneeling on the ground with her head hung and a glassy look in her eyes, he took a few steps forward and asked coldly, “Are you breaking your promise?”

Liu Yiyi leaned away from him, trembling as she was tortured by grief and regret.

“You’re the daughter of the Clear Shallows King! How could you change your mind after making a bet? Is this what the Clear Shallows King and her direct disciples do? It’s terrible,” Long Chen said with a perverted expression.

“Nonsense! Who said I’m breaking my promise? Plus, whatever I do is unrelated to my mother ...” Liu Yiyi clenched her teeth and gently stood up. Her head was still hung, but he could faintly see traces of tears on her face.

“That’s right! Someone of your status can’t break promises, of course! Or I’d look down on you. That’s why you need to strip! I’m waiting!” Long Chen snickered with sparkling eyes.

Liu Yiyi was both embarrassed and furious at his shameless quip. It was her first time being cornered like this in her life. She was extremely torn within. Even her mother had not seen her body at this age, and now was she going to bare it all to a strange guy she had only known for a day?

Long Chen’s fiery gaze made her feel weak, as if she was already standing exposed in front of him without a shred of clothing. She had always valued her strength and relied on it. Unfortunately, these things were useless here. No matter how powerful she was, she was just a lamb in front of Long Chen, while he was the wolf.

He gave an evil sneer. “Strip, then. I’m getting impatient.”

She shuddered and took a few steps back. She bit her lip as tears fell down her face, well aware that this was all her own doing. She knew that Long Chen was not an easy person to deal with, yet she had run towards his devil claws. However, she was unwilling to be labeled as a person who broke promises.

“Jiang Cheng, you will regret this! I will make you pay for the humiliation I suffer today ...” said Liu Yiyi through clenched teeth at the last moment.

“Regret? I guess I do regret it. If I lose to you in our next fight, I’ll need to strip for you. No one has seen my pure body before! And you will get to see it for nothing,” said Long Chen with a grin.

“You ...” Liu Yiyi almost fainted from anger.

“Don’t waste any more time. What a beautiful moment ... I’ll reminisce about it for the rest of my life ...”

As if his eyes were hands, they ran up and down her body. Soon, embarrassment replaced anger.

“I will make you pay for the humiliation today!” Her finger slowly fell on her collar. She closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was about to gently tug her clothing off to reveal her fair skin to Long Chen.

That was when her hand was swatted away. She froze and her eyes sprang open to see a completely different Long Chen.

“Alright. We’ll stop here. You’re a good girl; you shouldn’t be punished.”

Long Chen had only been acting. Ever since Ling Xi appeared in his life, he stopped being a pervert.

Liu Yiyi was indeed a very good girl. She had been willing to use her body in a bet in order to get Long Chen to apologize to Qin Huanyu, and when she lost, she could have changed her mind. Both of them knew that Long Chen was no match for her, and if she changed her mind, he could not do anything about it.

But she hadn’t.

That said enough to Long Chen.

“What do you mean?” Liu Yiyi’s mouth was agape as she stared at him.

Liu Yiyi stood frozen for a while until she finally understood what he meant.

He doesn’t want to look at me anymore? Because there’s nothing worth looking at?

Liu Yiyi was torn. On the one hand, she wanted to prove to him that this was not the case, but wouldn’t that prove that she was being shameless?

She looked down. They weren’t small ...

Then she finally understood that Long Chen was only pretending all along. He had never thought about her that way and was only scaring her so that she would not harass him again.

Perhaps he isn’t as terrible as I imagined him to be ... Liu Yiyi came to a realization. When she turned around, he was already far away. He looked lonely and arrogant, but there was no malice. She understood that she had been wrong about him.

He must be a good person. I was the one looking for trouble, but he let me go ... The hatred and fury in her disappeared and were replaced with curiosity. She was curious about his personality and identity.

Suddenly, she thought of something and called out, “Jiang Cheng?”

“What the hell do you want?” he said, turning around.

“ ... Uh ... Didn’t you disappear for three days? Zhao Wuji came looking for you twice, but you weren’t there. I think he has reached the Fifth Passage Stage and wants to challenge you as payback for his defeat. I think he’ll come again soon.”

“Is that so? The Fifth Passage Stage is nothing to me. I couldn’t care less. If he annoys me, I’ll take away his ability to make babies!” Long Chen snickered, then he left. Liu Yiyi stood frozen, staring at him. For some reason, she felt like this young man had a strange magical ability to take up space in her mind. She could not wave him out of her mind if she tried.

Who is he? Just now, he looked so perverted, but his gaze was so clear and pure. I think he was just teasing me ... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But he has still defeated me. If Mother finds out about this, she will surely let him participate in the Ancient Demon Domain examination next month. His cultivation has advanced a lot in just a few short days. I wonder if he will be even stronger in one month.

Liu Yiyi left with her emotions a mess. Long Chen also returned to his quarters.

“I’ve made a huge mistake! I forgot to hound that girl for my two hundred thousand pills!” said Long Chen, frustrated.

“Tsk tsk. You brat, don’t act stupid in front of me. You gave her a taste. While you didn’t get her Heavenly Passage Pills, you got her heart! As long as you have her heart, won’t it only be a matter of time before you get the pills too?” said Little Cat, eyeing him with contempt.

“What do you mean? She’s annoying; I only intended to scare her so she won’t annoy me again,” he said, speechless.

“Don’t act stupid. Your playing-hard-to-get tactics will make that girl’s heart itch. I think she’ll come looking for you in a few days.” Little Cat snickered.

Long Chen ignored him. That was not his intention at all. Right now, the most urgent matter at hand was to increase his cultivation level. While he could cultivate, he would never reach the Sixth Passage Stage if he didn’t have enough Heavenly Passage Pills. And if he did not reach the Seventh Passage Stage, he would never get the Emperor Flame Pearl.

“I can’t get into the third layer of the Demon World at the moment. It also seems impossible to kill people for their possessions in the Ancient Demon Domain. Looks like I have to use my final tactic,” Long Chen said in a low voice.

“What final tactic?” Little Cat was curious.

“I’ll borrow!”

“Borrow from who?” Little Cat asked, speechless.

“Who else? I have a little rich woman, Huangfu Qi, by my side! If I don’t slaughter this pig, who else will I slaughter? Hahaha ...” Long Chen laughed creepily.

Of course, he did not need so many Heavenly Passage Pills right now. If he could not enter the third layer of the Demon World, he would have no choice but to cultivate earnestly like everyone else. Due to his absorption of the one-thousandth Inherited Blood Essence, he was progressing steadily. Since he had no better ideas, he chose to cultivate.

The night passed quickly as he cultivated. At dawn the next day, there was a commotion outside. Long Chen opened the door and saw that it was the idiot, Zhao Wuji, with a group of disciples from the Red Ghost Pavilion at his doorstep. Zhao Wuji had lost several times to Long Chen during the qualifiers and had been unwilling to accept it.

After he entered the Red Ghost Pavilion, he achieved a breakthrough very quickly and reached the Fifth Passage Stage. He had managed to kill a Fifth Passage Stage opponent when he was at the Fourth Passage Stage, so when he reached the Sixth Passage Stage, wouldn’t he be able to kill a Seventh Passage Stage opponent? That was why he was here to challenge Long Chen again.

“Jiang Cheng? I haven’t seen you in a while. I’ve been here several times, but I could not find you! You’re a professional coward!” Zhao Wuji said arrogantly, standing ten meters away from Long Chen.

“What are you doing here? Just spit it out.” Long Chen had no time to waste on this idiot.

“What else? I’m here for revenge, of course. Jiang Cheng, do you have the guts to fight me again? Let’s see who's stronger now! Let’s see who is the actual newcomer king of this year!”

He was not a Clear Shallows Pavilion disciple, so if he attacked without Long Chen’s consent, this would be considered a conflict between two pavilions. If Long Chen agreed, this would just be considered a spar between two young disciples and the matter would be viewed differently. The decision was in Long Chen’s hands.
