<h4>Chapter 492 - The Bet </h4>


    Long Chen was speechless at the little girl’s n. The Demon Emperor was the strongest person in the Ancient Demon Domain. If he really had the ck Emperor Seal, how could the girl ever steal it? She was a mischievous child, as she had snuck out toe here. He guessed that her father woulde get her very soon.


    Of course, meeting the daughter of such an influential family after arriving at the Divine Martial Empire also benefited Long Chen greatly.


    After he learned a bit about the Five Emperor Seals from Huangfu Qi, he saw that the sky had darkened and said, “Qi Qi, it’s gettingte. You should go back.”


    “I don’t want to! I hate the other seniors! You treat me best, so I want to stay with you,” Huangfu Qi begged.


    Long Chen had his own cultivation tasks and could not be disturbed by the child, so he said sternly, “If you don’t go now, you won’t get to y with Xiang again!”


    This was Long Chen’s killer move, and Huangfu Qi had no choice but to leave with her head hung. She wanted to get Long Chen’s pity, but Long Chen ignored her.


    After she left, Long Chen was preparing to cultivate when he sensed someone approaching. He used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and saw someone standing outside his door.


    “Who is it?” He opened the door gently and saw Liu Yiyi, who strongly resembled Ling Xi, standing not far away. Under the moonlight, her white dress billowed, making her look like a statue made of white jade standing before him. Her gaze was filled with coldness and hatred.


    “Follow me,” she said curtly, then she took a few steps back and looked to see Long Chen’s response.


    Long Chen had the impression that she was a kind person. Since her junior had been killed by him, it was only natural that she harbored enmity towards him, though he did not bear any hatred towards her. However, she had approached him in a mysterious manner, so he decided to follow her after some hesitation.


    Liu Yiyi rxed when she saw that he wasing and focused on walking ahead. There were many gray mountains near the Clear Shallows Pavilion, so it didn’t take long to lead him to a deste area.


    Long Chen felt confused several times as he stared at the girl as if she wasn’t Liu Yiyi, but Ling Xi.


    <i>I just miss Xiao Xi too much, so much so that I can mistake someone who looks simr for her ... </i>Long Chen shook his head in exasperation.


    Liu Yiyi stopped, then she turned and looked at him. “I can’t believe you actually dared to follow me. Aren’t you afraid I set up an ambush? You’re my enemy after all.”


    “Enough with that nonsense. Just say what you want to say,” replied Long Chen, ignoring her. He hade to his senses and knew that this was not Ling Xi.


    Seeing as Long Chen was being so direct, Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and said, “I am here to finish what I couldn’t during the day, which is to get some justice for my junior brother. Don’t worry, I won’t be as vicious as you were, killing someone so casually. You need to know that he had parents too. Even though you were stronger, you had no right to kill him.”


    Long Chen was speechless.


    “What you think is your business and what I do is my business. Do I have to fight you just because you want to fight me? Why? Are you going to bully me just because you’re at the Seventh Passage Stage and I’m at the Fifth?” Long Chenughed coldly, then he turned to leave.


    “Stop right there!” Liu Yiyi did not expect Long Chen toe here but refuse to fight, so she panicked. Her dress fluttered around her as she hurried forward. Long Chen’s nonchnce had angered her, and her cheeks were red due to her ragged breathing.


    “You killed someone! Why are you still so rude? There were no grudges between you and my sixth junior brother! Although there were disagreements, you didn’t have to kill him, did you?” she asked weakly as she gazed at him.


    “Are you stupid? If I hadn’t killed him, he would have killed me. I was stronger than him, so I got to kill him. This is thew of nature. You have the protection of the elders, so of course you can pretend to be stupid here and criticize me with your righteousness. If you were me and you lived through my experiences, you would have died a long time ago with that mentality.”


    Long Chen felt no regret at all about killing Qin Huanyu. It was the rule of the world. People who could not think flexibly like Liu Yiyi would never survive without a powerful background.


    Liu Yiyi’s face turned green and then red after Long Chen’s scolding. “You’re being unreasonable! I’m not going to let you leave today. I promised Huanyu that I would make you admit you were in the wrong in front of his grave!” she cried angrily.


    “Admit I’m in the wrong in front of his grave? You can dream on.” Long Chen had no time to entertain this fool. Some women merely had huge breasts and no brains, but he opined that Liu Lan was countless times smarter than her despite being more voluptuous. He had killed Huanyu just a few hours ago; why would he ever apologize in front of his grave?


    Then he was prepared to leave. With the might of his Blood Warp, not even ten Liu Yiyis could stop him.


    “Jiang Cheng, are you afraid of me? Or do you feel like the stakes aren’t high enough? I know you’re a jerk who only cares about profit. Name your price, then. Let’s make a bet. If you lose, you will apologize in front of Sixth Junior Brother’s grave. If you win, I’ll follow whatever condition you set!” she said coldly, clenching her teeth when she saw that Long Chen was actually going to leave.


    She had to fulfill her promise to Qin Huanyu, no matter what.


    Long Chen halted. Perhaps Liu Yiyi was right. He really did only care about profit right now. He wascking Heavenly Passage Pills, so he said, “I only have one price. Five hundred thousand Heavenly Passage Pills or it’s a no.”


    “Five hundred thousand? Might as well rob me.” Liu Yiyi froze and red at him in embarrassment and anger. She only had about two hundred thousand in her Universe Pouch right now, so even if she gave all of them to him, she would not fulfill his request.


    “It’s fine if you don’t want me to do it. Without five hundred thousand pills, how are you going to get me to apologize to Qin Huanyu?” Long Chen chuckled shamelessly.


    To be honest, Liu Yiyi would never be able to give him five hundred thousand pills, nor could she ask the Clear Shallows King for more, because she was doing this behind her mother’s back.


    “Can you lower the number? What about two hundred thousand? I only have two hundred thousand. Or you can name other conditions.” Liu Yiyi had never met such a shameless person and was extremely furious. However, she had no choice but to continue digging this hole to fulfill her promise. It was not going to be easy to make Long Chen apologize.


    “Other conditions?” Long Chen eyed her up and down with a perverted look in his eyes, then he grinned. “I have made my decision. I don’t want five hundred thousand Heavenly Passage Pills anymore. I don’t even want one pill. I only have one condition. If I lose, I will apologize and kowtow ten times in front of Qin Huanyu’s grave. If you lose, simple. You will take off all your clothes and let me see your beautiful body. What do you think?”


    “You’re shameless!” Liu Yiyi almost fainted from anger. She could not stand the smug look on his face. She had never met such a shameless person in her life.


    “Shameless? It’s fine if you don’t agree to my terms. I won’t force you. Also, you’re at the Seventh Passage Stage! The strongest among all the young disciples of the Clear Shallows Pavilion! Are you worried you’ll lose to me?” Long Chen looked at her provocatively.


    Liu Yiyi obviously did not think she would lose, but every time she met his eyes, she had a bad feeling. She could read him through his gaze. Although he pretended to be very interested in her body, she saw that his heart was calm. So calm that it terrified her.


    His eyes were like a deep well.


    “Since you won’t agree to my terms, goodbye.” Long Chen turned and quickly walked away. If she gave chase, he could easily shake her off using Blood Warp.


    “Stay where you are! I ept!” Liu Yiyi said in the end, clenching her teeth as she overcame her fears. She was a Seventh Passage Stage cultivator, and she was close to reaching the Eighth! She had received an abundance of mentorship and resources in the Clear Shallows Pavilion. How could she lose to Long Chen?


    She had chosen to agree to his terms in order to fulfill the promise she had made to Qin Huanyu.


    Long Chen stopped and said in a strange tone, “You’re actually agreeing to it? Are you sure? You’re a sophisticateddy! How could it be worth it to show your body to a peasant like me?”


    “Stop daydreaming. You can never beat me,” Liu Yiyi said decisively.


    “But it’s nighttime! It’s not exactly daydreaming,” Long Chen responded shamelessly, looking up at the sky.


    “Enough of your nonsense. I agree to your terms, so let’s begin! Let me see just how strong you are. If you’re only as strong as what you showed earlier today, it is far from enough to beat me!” Liu Yiyi said with a cold expression.


    Long Chen was a little taken aback because he did not actually know if he could defeat this woman. In fact, it was likely that he would be tortured terribly. He had made two very unreasonable demands because he thought she would never agree. Now that she had agreed to it, he was in big trouble ...


    But a man had to abide by his words. If he actually lost, he was willing to apologize in front of that brat’s grave. He would not lose anything if he did so ...


    However, Long Chen did admire her personality. There were not many people who could do this just to fulfill a promise. She was indeed cute because of her stubbornness and one-track mind.


    Unfortunately, Long Chen’s heart already belonged to someone else.
