Chapter 767 - Someone Precious

Suxue never thought Long Chen would agree so quickly. She assumed he would get upset at her request since it sounded like she was threatening him. Judging by his words ... It seems that he really doesn’t have any feelings for Suyan.

Even though Suyan was still young, she had the makings of a beautiful lady already. In just a few years, she would be as good-looking as Suxue. Her cultivation and her standing would be similar to Suxue’s too. A girl like her would be highly sought after by everyone. Suxue thought Long Chen would have some feelings for Suyan since he had saved her life and she had feelings for him too, but it appeared that he didn’t.

She thought Long Chen was just a lucky guy that would seize any chance he would get to climb up in life, but he she never thought he would give up just like that. Was Long Chen an exception?

Her curiosity got the better of her, so she asked, “Do you have someone precious to you already?”

Long Chen looked at her speechlessly. “I’m here to cultivate. Do I have to reveal that to you too?”

Suxue was even more interested after seeing his reaction. She continued asking, “So do you have one or not? You could just say yes or no.”

Long Chen ignored her. Even if he told her about Ling Xi right now, he had a feeling that she would still continue her barrage of questions. Long Chen chose to ignore her and continued going upwards.

“You don’t want to tell me?” Suxue was puzzled and chased after him, but then she stopped and blushed.

He doesn't want to tell me. Maybe that girl is not Yan’er, but ... me? Suxue became nervous. She knew that her sister was infatuated with Long Chen, and it would be bad if Long Chen was actually in love with her instead of Yan’er. Suxue didn’t want to have a fight with her sister over a mere man.

I’m thinking too much. There’s no way that’s the case. We barely know each other. Suxue calmed herself before chasing after Long Chen. She caught up to him just as they climbed past the cloud layer. Long Chen sat down on one of the large leaves.

“So pretty.” Suxue sighed when she looked at the starry night. She had come here last night but didn’t have the time to observe the beautiful starry night. This time, she was engrossed with it.

The wind blew past both of them. Her white skin glittered under the blue, twinkling starlight. She looked like a goddess.

But Long Chen ignored her. If he had known what she was thinking just now, he would’ve told her about Ling Xi. He had only completed part of the Seven Star Manual last night, so he started cultivating the moment he arrived.

“You are already cultivating?” Suxue was speechless. She felt slightly irritated that Long Chen was ignoring her and made a funny face at him before she continued to take in the beautiful scenery. Look at how hard he’s working. I cannot afford to relax. Wu Guangyu will most likely obtain the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance, but I don’t have anything. I can only work hard and try to scale the Heavenly Martial Wall to reach the Heavenly Martial Stage. Only then can I beat him, or else I will lose to him in the Nine Clan Martial Youth Competition. If that happens, I won’t be qualified to obtain one of the Prismatic Keys ...

She suddenly felt the weight on her shoulders get heavier.

Time passed, and the starlight continued to course into Long Chen’s body. The starlight became denser and denser, to the point that he was in a cocoon of starlight. He looked just like a star in the heavens. Suxue even saw several glittering runes forming on Long Chen’s skin. It covered his body like the stars in the sky.

Those dots of lights were none other than the Seven Star Lord’s Divine Weapon, the Three Thousand Star Clusters!

Once Long Chen completed the Seven Star Manual, he would obtain the essence of the Seven Stars and would be capable of using the power of the Three Thousand Star Cluster. But he wouldn’t have enough essence to sustain the continued usage of the Three Thousand Star Cluster.

As long as he completed the Seven Star Manual and cultivated Seven Star Essence, he would be able to utilize the Big Dipper Step and the Seven Star Body more efficiently. Just then, he completed the Seven Star Manual and found out that there was blue starlight mixed in with his Dragon Soul Essence. The blue starlight was naturally the Seven Star Essence.

After completing it, under Long Chen’s control, the blue light around him slowly disappeared. He opened his eyes and found Suxue looking at him excitedly.

“Long Chen, do you really have the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance?”

Seeing that she finally believed him, he nodded. “Didn’t I tell you that before? Only the clan leaders know about this. You are the third person in Heavenly Wood City to know. This is very important, so I need you to keep it a secret. I fear that a lot of people would hunt me down if this information leaked.”

Suxue was touched by his words.

We’ve only known each other for a dozen days ... Why does he trust me so much? He never told Yan’er about it, but he told me ... Suxue felt like her brain was overloading as she faced a certain emotion for the first time. She wanted to leave now.

Long Chen was too dense to understand how a woman would interpret this scenario. He had told her to keep it a secret purely because it would reduce the risk of him getting attacked when she wasn’t there to guard him. “What are you thinking about?” He saw her flustering for some reason.

“Nothing, nothing ...” She shook her hands in a panic before she remembered something. “Long Chen, I have a request.”

“What is it?”

“I’ve heard that the Three Thousand Star Clusters is very beautiful. I ... I want to see how pretty it is. Could you satisfy my small request?”

Suxue used her entire arsenal that she usually used on her father to beg for something. Her sweet voice coupled with her look stunned Long Chen. “Please don’t do that again and I will show you.”

“Really!? Yay! You are the greatest!” Suxue jumped up happily.

He never thought a princess like her would have a cute side like this.
