Chapter 201 Demons, Shadows, and Romance
Long Tian remained enveloped in a demonic aura, triggering a profound transformation in his physique as muscles surged prominently.
The dark wings on his back expanded, taking on a reddish-black hue.
His countenance contorted with pain, giving the impression that his bones were fracturing simultaneously.
Unable to endure the sight any longer, Li Yue'er stretched out her arms, closing her eyes.
In the ensuing moment, a colossal tree materialized behind her – her Martial Spirit, the World Tree. Radiating green energy from both hands that gently cocooned Long Tian within its soothing embrace.
On the other side, Long Tian felt warmth and comfort, as if the pain had slowly vanished.
And suddenly, all the transformations disappeared, and he returned to his normal form, leaving him perplexed.
"What the hell was that?" he furrowed his brow.
Li Yue'er, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly approached Long Tian.
"Are you okay?" she asked, a worried tone in her voice.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you, Yue'er," Long Tian responded, a smile on his face.
Li Yue'er smiled back, "I'm relieved that you're okay. I was genuinely worried seeing that abnormal transformation of yours," she said.
"Well, I didn't expect it either. Fortunately, your power was useful in stopping it," Long Tian responded. "It seems I need to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect again, right, Uncle Ling?" he asked, looking at Ling Han.
However, he furrowed his brow when he saw Ling Han seemingly diverting his attention to something.
He followed Ling Han's gaze, which led to the outer part of the villa. Finding nothing unusual, he inquired, "Is there a problem, Uncle Ling?"
Hearing this, Ling Han stepped forward and looked towards the outer area of the villa with narrowed eyes.
"Young master, it seems we have an uninvited guest, and the person is familiar," he said.
Long Tian furrowed his brow, "Who?" he asked.
Ling Han didn't respond but immediately leaped high, far beyond the villa area, landing on the trees.
"Is that so? Then, I can rest easy. If you're thinking of making her your woman, I won't agree," Li Yue'er remarked, her tone gentle yet firm.
Upon hearing this, Long Tian genuinely smiled and caressed Li Yue'er's cheek. "Do you think I'm a predator? Right now, the number one person in my heart is only you, Yue'er," he declared.
Li Yue'er's cheeks flushed, and her heart raced, enveloped in an indescribable warmth and joy that resonated within her.
In response, Long Tian's smile deepened as he gently enfolded her in his arms. "I pledge to never leave you, Yue'er," he expressed with sincerity.
Li Yue'er, utterly taken aback by his heartfelt words, slowly reciprocated by embracing Long Tian. A serene smile formed on her face, mirroring the contentment within.
The romantic scene unfolded as they held each other, their beauty and handsomeness enhancing the moment with an extra layer of enchantment.
"Cough!" The sound of Ling Han's cough disrupted their intimate moment, prompting Long Tian and Li Yue'er to release each other from the embrace.
"Sorry for interrupting your time, but, what should I do, young master? Should I chase after Lin Fan?" Ling Han inquired.
"No need, I'll handle it myself," Long Tian asserted.
Ling Han nodded in acknowledgment.
"And Uncle Ling, I think tomorrow we should visit the Heavenly Demon Sect," Long Tian suggested.
"Alright, but tomorrow you'll be taking the qualification test for the survival competition, correct?" Ling Han sought clarification.
"Don't worry about it; I've already arranged the timing," Long Tian responded with a confident smile, having secured the first position, ensuring a swift pass.
Ling Han, on the other hand, nodded. "Alright, do you want to join, young lady?" he asked, turning his gaze towards Li Yue'er.
Long Tian also looked at her, anticipating her response.
"I think it would be great; I'm also curious about the inside of a sect since I've never visited one before," Li Yue'er replied.
"Alright, then the three of us will go there tomorrow," Long Tian declared.
Both Ling Han and Li Yue'er nodded in agreement.
Without much further conversation, they proceeded straight back into the villa.
While Long Tian and Li Yue'er entered their respective rooms, Ling Han remained vigilant, preparing and keeping watch around the villa to ensure there were no spies.
And so, the night persisted without stars in the cloudy sky.
