Chapter 439 - Ten Years of Uncertainty

Ling Xi's words hurt Long Chen.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I won't regret my decision. As a man, I will provide everything you need. Ling Xi, please trust me. If I don’t go to you in ten years, that means I’m dead.”

Ten years.

Ling Xi cried.

Ten years of uncertainty. Would he really do that for her?

Would he travel thousands of miles, to traverse the mountains and roads, kill demons and devils, balance on the line separating life and death again and again, just to hold her hand one more time?

“If you don’t find me in ten years, I will kill myself!” Ling Xi made sure he understood her.

“Don’t you dare do that! Refine the fruit now!”

Ling Xi hesitated one last time before proceeding.

She knew she was one of the lucky ones.

Long Chen took out the jade box containing the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. He opened it and placed the fruit on the ground. Ling Xi’s spirit floated beside it just like how she had done with the Profound Jade Lotus. She had ended up with nothing but a fake body that time. However, the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit would not only return her physical body, but also restore her power.

She would return to how she was before the sword sliced her up.

Ling Xi thought she was dead when that happened, but she was given one more chance to be reborn after meeting Long Chen and overcoming countless struggles.

It was nothing short of a dream to her.

“Time to start ...”

It started raining outside. The room was dark, but the fruit was illuminating most of the room, covering it in a dreamy light.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit was much more fragrant than the Profound Jade Lotus. Long Chen felt like he was bathing in a pool of pure Qi, and he felt his own Qi slowly increasing.

Ling Xi’s body transformed into white mist and entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. Long Chen saw the final sense of yearning in her eyes. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

A girl like you should have a real body. You cannot follow me like some ghost while traveling the world.

Long Chen sighed and dispelled all of his stray thoughts. He watched her rebirth as if he was enjoying a show.

There was nothing lustful in his mind. All he felt for her was satisfaction and happiness. He knew that he had finally achieved his goal after working so hard. Ling Xi could finally live like a normal human again. She was reborn.

Long Chen suddenly felt like it was worth it no matter how difficult things would become, even if he had to bet his life.

It wasn't just because she was beautiful, but also because he loved her so much.

He remembered how he was exiled from the Yang family and meandered through life. Back then, he didn’t know what love was, but now he knew after seeing Ling Xi recover her true body.

To him, love was to provide and protect.

Ling Xi was like a white lotus bathed in light when she appeared, pure yet beautiful.

She opened her eyes while Long Chen was still admiring her. Two rays of sharp sword Qi appeared in them and formed symbols before slowly becoming dim.

Her eyes soon returned to normal. They were like a clear pond that rippled in the wind.

Tears streamed down her face when she opened her eyes.

When she felt the warmth coming from her body, she knew that their future was now wrapped in thorns. There was no turning back.

She remembered how Long Chen had touched her spirit with his finger when they first entered the Lingwu family. He had told her that he would give her back the same warmth that she felt.

And now he had done it.

They looked at each other as if they had been separated for hundreds of years. They didn’t know what to say, and Ling Xi could only cry when she looked at him.

But Long Chen did not. He was happy that his efforts had paid off.

“Brother Chen ...” Ling Xi suddenly broke the silence and decided on something. She approached Long Chen and pulled him into her embrace.

She was strong, and before Long Chen could react, his face was buried in her chest. The scent coming from her body plucked his heart strings and he felt his body burning up.

What is Ling Xi doing?

“Brother Chen, I’ve decided. You remember how Liu Lan offered to give herself to you? I know that many women will approach you after I leave you. I’m afraid you’ll forget me, so I want to give myself to you too. You gave me the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, so my body is yours now!”

Ling Xi’s voice trembled as she said that.

Sensing Long Chen’s breath on her chest made her feel powerless.
