Chapter 755 – Actors Behind The Scenes
“Yan’er, you may leave now. I need to speak to him,” said Suxue to her younger sister after Long Chen settled in.
“No ...” Suyan said hurriedly, worried that she would bully Long Chen.
“Be good,” Suxue said with a raised voice. She was getting mad at her stubborn sister, and her chest was heaving.
“Yan’er, go back,” said Long Chen. He wanted to see what Suxue would do.
Suyan was willing to listen to Long Chen, so after he spoke, she nodded obediently and left. She looked back at almost every step, showing just how unwilling she was to leave.
After Suyan left, Suxue’s gaze cooled. She eyed him for a while, then said, “I don’t know how you made my father believe you, but I’m warning you now. If you start having funny thoughts and you fail to save my sister, I will never let you live!”
Since she was unpleasant to him, there was no reason for him to be pleasant to her. He squinted and said, “To be honest, it has nothing to do with you, whether I am willing to save your sister or not. I have my way of doing things. If you don’t like it, you may leave. There is no need to threaten me. Don’t assume that I am afraid of you, alright?”
Long Chen’s rudeness angered her so much that her face turned red. Swallowing her anger, she said coldly, “Don’t celebrate too early. Don’t think that I am ignorant of your true intentions. You just want to manipulate my sister and climb on my father so you’ll get a boost to power. I’ve met people like you before, but I will dash your dreams very soon. Don’t think that there are no other alchemists in the Demon clan. Our alchemists are a hundred times stronger than you. You just wait! When I call one over, you will be exposed as a fake alchemist! You just wait!”
“I won’t be seeing you off.” Long Chen did not bother with the argument and pointed at the door.
“Hmph!” Suxue huffed, then turned to leave. Her fragrance slowly disappeared.
“She thinks she’s the shit.” Long Chen did not even shoot her a glance.
After she left, Suyan walked in cautiously. She looked at him apologetically and said, “Big Brother, I’m so sorry. My sister has always been cautious of strangers. But she’s not usually like this ...”
“Don’t worry, Yan’er. I don’t blame you. Alright, then I shall stay here. I’ll treat you again in ten days. During this time, I will be cultivating alone. Do not disturb me without my permission, got it?” Long Chen’s objective for coming to Heavenly Wood City was to cultivate. The earthly spiritual Qi in the city was extremely potent, more so than in the other places he had been before. This was an excellent place for cultivating.
“I can’t disturb you?” Suyan pouted. She thought she would be able to play with him every day, but Long Chen needed to cultivate. She did not dare disturb him though, so she nodded obediently and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll only come when there’s a need. If my sister comes looking for trouble, I’ll stop her.”
“Good girl.” Long Chen smiled warmly.
After a while, she finally left. Long Chen closed the door and sat cross-legged on the floor.
“It looks like I can do anything without reservation in Heavenly Wood City, then. After I reach the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, I will start going to the peak of the city to cultivate the Seven Star Body! Of course, I must first cultivate the Seven Star Constellation’s essence, which is the foundation for cultivating the Seven Star Body and the Big Dipper Step. As for the divine weapon I received, the Three Thousand Star Clusters, it’s too powerful. I’ll save that for later.”
Very soon, Long Chen laid out his cultivation plans.
As long as he was in Heavenly Wood City, Long Chen had the protection of Bai Lan and the little girl Suyan guarding him, so he could sleep without any worries.
However, the people behind the scenes were like a thorn in his mind.
After he cleared out his thoughts, he let Little Cat keep watch and sank his mind into the Primordial Realm without a worry, starting to study the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage’s techniques. Some time had passed since he broke through to the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage, so it was time to work towards the next breakthrough.
The Martial God Tombstone glowed gray beneath the enveloping, gray Primordial Qi.
Long Chen focused his attention on the tombstone. A silhouette of a person appeared. Once again, this person started performing the Earthly Martial Fist Manual from the First Earthly Martial Stage until the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. Long Chen realized that every time he revised this routine, it benefited him greatly. He previously had many flaws in his Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivation, but they were all filled now.
After about half a day, the silhouette finally reached the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. When it started performing it, Little Cat’s voice came from outside the Primordial Realm. Long Chen had no choice but to pull his mind out of the Primordial Realm. He opened his eyes and saw Little Cat staring at him with his large eyes.
“What is it?” blurted Long Chen.
“Take a look for yourself.” Little Cat then stretched his back.
Long Chen quickly used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and indeed, not far away, Suxue was rushing over angrily with a young man by her side.
“Big Sister, Big Brother said that no one can disturb him when he’s cultivating,” Suyan said anxiously, trying her best to stop her sister.
“What? Who does he think he is? He’s merely cultivating, and he is in my city. Yet I’m not allowed to get near him?” Suxue was furious.
“But Big Brother said ...” said Suyan in a small voice.
“So what if he did?” Suxue pushed her gently aside, then walked over to his quarters.
“Big Sister, if you do this, I’ll never talk to you again ...” When Suyan said this, the door opened with a creak.
