Chapter 437 - Castration

Chapter 437 - Castration

Liu Lan could endure no longer. She hated the boy in front of her and wanted to slap him viciously. She looked at him and said, “The man I love is someone who stood tall and created miracles, not a young boy who relied on his father to do stuff. Do you think you deserve me just because you are stronger?”

The only reason she had said that was because she had been forced into a corner. Young Master Hong snapped when he was insulted. He broke the chair, stood up, and pointed at Liu Lan. “You fucking bitch! You are just a withered willow! I gave you some respect because I liked you. I came all the way here to marry you, and yet you dare to refuse me? What a joke! Vermillion Bird Patriarch! Is this how you work? Looks like the Hong family’s relationship with the Lingwu family will no longer exist! Just wait, what I will bring in ten days is a group of experts instead of a dowry. Bitch, do you think you can escape me? I will have you underneath me in ten days regardless!”

Young Master Hong glared at everyone before leaving angrily.

The Patriarch and Liu Yuan were shocked. After the deaths of two Patriarchs, the Lingwu family was falling into ruins. If the Hong family came after them, the Lingwu family would be wiped out.

“Father, I’m sorry ...” Liu Lan wasn’t sure what to do. She had caused the death of the Lingwu family. She realized how powerless she was and regretted it. That was when she suddenly recalled the man that had taken advantage of her one night on Nine Devils Mountain, causing her to cry and leaving her unable to walk properly for a few days ...

Reminiscence and love appeared in her heart.

But she knew that her feelings for Long Chen didn’t matter when he wasn’t here. Everything was over. The Lingwu family was done for because of her, and she could only commit suicide to make amends. Even if it did nothing for the family, she refused to surrender herself to that boy.

Before dying, Liu Lan thought about a lot of things, but her most vivid memory was about that proud, young boy. She regretted it. If time could rewind, she would choose to love him instead of pressuring him.

Long Chen, I hope you don’t hate me anymore. I was selfish and arrogant, but now I know how powerless I was. I can’t even control my life ...

Liu Lan was ready to commit suicide when a shout came from outside. The shout belonged to Young Master Hong.

Liu Lan stared with widened eyes as Young Master Hong was dragged back inside by a youth. To think that a Second River Stage cultivator would be so helpless!

Bam!

Young Master Hong was thrown onto the ground. He was shocked, but he was fearless because of his background. “You brat! Tell me your name! How dare you touch me. My father is the mayor of Blaze City! He will never let you go. Kneel down and call me ‘grandfather,’ or I will kill you!”

The person who had dragged him was Long Chen.

The three people from Lingwu family were stunned to see Long Chen. Long Chen ignored them as he looked at Young Master Hong. He smiled plainly before stomping on the boy’s crotch and popping something. Young Master Hong let out a shrill cry before he curled his body out of pain. He was sweating and panting from the pain.

“You want me, Long Chen, to call you ‘grandfather?’ Call me ‘grandfather’ instead, or I will step on you once every breath. Starting now.” Long Chen was toying with Young Master Hong.

One breath passed, and Long Chen stomped again. Something broke into smithereens, and Young Master Hong shouted even louder. His body twitched and only two words came to his mind.

“Not really ...” He smiled sheepishly.

“Get out.” Liu Lan lowered her head.

“What’s wrong?” Long Chen didn’t know what was happening.

“No need to pity me. Thank you for your help. From here onwards, I don’t want to see you again, nor do I want to talk to you anymore. Goodbye,” Liu Lan said adamantly.

Long Chen was silent. He had a feeling that Liu Lan was struggling with something and knew what she was thinking. She had her pride and used to be stronger than Long Chen, but now she could only be described as pitiful. She didn’t want to show her pitiful side to him, because she really cared about him.

The look in his eyes right now told her that he had grown into a man.

“Go! Don’t come back, please ...” Liu Lan almost cried.

Long Chen sighed. “I came here to say goodbye to you. We are technically friends after what we went through. I will be leaving the Cangyang Kingdom and might never return. This might be the last time we meet. Will you chase me away like this?”

Liu Lan wanted him to leave, but she never thought he would leave forever. Her mind went blank.

The last time we will meet?

Long Chen had an important place in her heart, and it wasn’t easy for her to let him go.

Both of them remained silent.

“Weren’t you supposed to fight the Sword Emperor?”

“I already killed him.”

They were silent again.

It was quite some time before Liu Lan sighed. “Let’s go back to the Azure Willow Residence. No matter what, we are friends. Since you are leaving, I should send you off. I want to hear about what you did after you left the Lingwu family.”

Back to the Azure Willow Residence?
