<h4>Chapter 580 - Wu’er</h4>


    <i>Bam!</i>


    A massive explosion rocked the pce, and a golden light crashed open the doors.


    Someone shrieked from outside. The person had been spying on them and was surprised when they were almost hit by the attack. The person knew that they had been discovered, so they walked out sheepishly. It was none other than the lead dancer from earlier, Huangfu Yu’s fiancee.


    She had been spying on them because she was worried about whether Huangfu Yu would be able to obtain the Willow Step or not.


    The golden light that had caused the door to open was none other than the Golden Warlord Spear. The spear fell to the ground, sending sparks flying everywhere.


    The dancer and everyone else were shocked by the scene.


    Huangfu Yu’s face was pale and Long Chen’s hand was on his neck.


    It was clear who had won.


    Huangfu Yu’s spear had been knocked away by Long Chen, and thetter’s ws were wrapped around Huangfu Yu’s neck. If Long Chen hadn’t shown mercy, Huangfu Yu would be dead right now.


    Long Chen had won.


    This was within Huangfu Fengchen’s expectations. Long Chen had defeated Jiang Wushang even before he reached the Earthly Martial Realm, so naturally, he could defeat Huangfu Yu.


    Huangfu Fengchen smiled because Long Chen had helped him solve a difficult matter.


    Huangfu Qi danced happily. “Haha! The evil bastard has finally been defeated. I told you Big Brother was strong. If you bully the consorts and maids again, Big Brother wille and smack your butt as punishment!!”


    Huangfu Yu’s face soured when he heard her. It was humiliating to hear all that from a child.


    “Impossible!” Huangfu Yu knocked away Long Chen’s arm. He refused to admit defeat and tried to punch Long Chen, but Long Chen was faster. A single kick was all it took to send Huangfu Yu spiraling onto the ground.


    “Huangfu Yu!” The dancer tried to help him up, but Huangfu Yu was angry and pushed her away.


    “Go away.”


    The dancer retreated with a pained look on her face.


    Huangfu Fengchen became upset when he saw that. “Little Yu, you are a man. You must ept defeat when you lose. Don’t make the outsiders think that we of the Huangfu family are shameless. We are men that admit defeat when we are outssed. Don’t embarrass us.”


    Huangfu Fengchen was usually quite easy-going, so his harsh words startled Huangfu Yu, who looked down and said nothing.


    Huangfu Fengyun took this chance to defuse the situation. “Little Yu has lost. It seems there are more experts out there than he expected. Little Yu, let’s go. Don’t embarrass us any further here.”


    Huangfu Fengyun was embarrassed by his son’s performance and didn’t want to remain here any longer.


    “Wait.” Huangfu Fengchen stopped them. “Big Brother, I’m not trying to make Little Yu look bad. Haven’t you seen his technique? He still hasn’t mastered the Sun Piercing Ray. He doesn’t understand its essence yet, much less the second and third stages. You should only bring him here to talk about the Willow Step after he masters the second stage.”


    “Thank you, Patriarch.” Huangfu Fengyun nodded without showing a hint of expression before looking at Long Chen. “You are indeed very strong. I am impressed.”


    Huangfu Fengyun then left with his son.


    Huangfu Yu red at Long Chen before leaving. He thought that the reason he couldn’t obtain the Willow Step was Long Chen.


    The dancer bowed and said, “Patriarch, Wu’er will be leaving too.”


    Huangfu Fengchen chuckled when she was gone. “Long Chen, you are really impressive. I can’t believe you learned Long Yue’s signature technique in just ten days.”


    Long Chen nodded. “I’ve only learned the basics. That was my first time using it, and I made a few mistakes when executing it.”


    “It’smendable that you can use it at all. I am impressed. I really want to make you my son-inw right now. If only Qiqi was born sooner ...”


    Long Chen could onlyugh dryly in response.


    “Dad, do you want me to marry Big Brother? Will I get to leave this ce if I marry him? I want to marry him, then!” Huangfu Qi’s eyes glowed with anticipation.


    “Marry?!” Huangfu Fengchen almost slumped from the shock of hearing his daughter saying that. He had only been joking, but Huangfu Qi thought it was real.


    “Qiqi, I still have important things to do. My brothers and sisters are in danger and I cannot stay here for long ...”


    “No! It’s alreadyte. You can leave tomorrow!” Huangfu Qi pulled Long Chen’s sleeve.


    Huangfu Fengchen chuckled. “In that case, Qiqi, you can show Long Chen your favorite ces. But you haven’t finished your cultivation yet. If you don’t finish, you will be grounded for a month.”


    “Fine. I will y with Big Brother for a bit before sending him to his room, then I will continue my cultivation.” Huangfu Qi quickly pulled Long Chen out of the ce.


    Long Chen actually had a huge soft spot for Huangfu Qi. Since he was here, he thought it would be fine to spend a night. <i>I’m not as strong as Long Yue, so I don’t think I will be able to help the Battle n all that much.</i>


    If he was as strong as Long Yue, he wouldn’t have had to stop to cultivate as he journeyed.


    Long Chen spent four hours with Huangfu Qi. She showed him the various ces in the estate. The Huangfu family’s estate was more like a pce, and it was far better than the Ancient Demon Domain.


    Even though it was nighttime, the ce was very beautiful.


    It waste at night when Huangfu Qi brought Long Chen to the guest room. “Big Brother, I have to cultivate for four hours a day. I need to go back now, but you mustn’t leave! I wille and fetch you tomorrow morning.”


    Huangfu Qi actually wanted Long Chen to go to her room, but Long Chen had refused. It was inappropriate.


    Huangfu Qi skipped back to her room. Long Chen was about to close his door when he saw the lead dancer approaching. He recalled that her name was Wu''er. She had a sad look on her face when she walked past his door.


    <i>It seems that she’s Huangfu Fengyun’s stepdaughter, so she’s also Qiqi’s cousin. </i>Long Chen didn’t think much more of it and slid his door shut. But before the door waspletely shut, he saw Huangfu Yu lurking in the darkness and tailing Wu’er. There was a very angry expression on his face.


    “They are engaged, so I probably shouldn’t butt in.” Long Chen saw the two of them go towards Wu’er’s residence. She was living in a beautiful building just on the other side of the pond.


    Long Chen closed the doors and finally started cultivating.


    “Little Cat, how’s Xiang doing?”


    “He’s undergoing some changes. He should be able to reach the King-tier in a few days and show himself as a human again,” Little Cat answeredzily.


    Long Chen was excited to finally see Xiang as a human again.


    <i>Xiao Xi saw Xiang back in Baiyang Town. I wonder if she will be surprised to see him again in human form. Hehe.</i> Long Chen chuckled as he thought about that.


    His opponent today was by no means weak, and Long Chen had learned a bit more about the Soul Dispersing Dragon w after the battle. He was going to review it tonight and master it. He had a feeling that he could use the Five Piercing Dragons if he focused.


    Dragon Soul Transformation and the Five Piercing Dragon. That was Long Chen’s strongestbo.


    The night passed in a sh.


    Four hourster, Huangfu Qi crashed through Long Chen’s door with a pale face. “Big Brother! Big Brother! Something awful has happened!”


    “What’s going on?” Long Chen shook himself from his cultivation.


    “Sister Wu’er was killed.” Huangfu Qi was crying when she told him the news.


    Long Chen was shocked.


    “Sister Wu’er was only a dancer, so she was only at the Second Passage Stage. We don’t know who would be cruel enough to kill her! If I knew who did it, I would skin them alive myself!”


    Long Chen bit his lip and calmed her down. “Qiqi, let us go and see what happened.”


    “My father is still in closed cultivation, so he doesn’t know about it yet. I only overheard it when I wasing over to you. Let’s go quickly.” Huangfu Qi pulled Long Chen out of the room and ran past the pond.


    There were already a lot of people near the building where Wu’er was living. Long Chen had a bad feeling and recalled what he had seenst night.


    <i>Who would kill her? Could it be ...</i>


    Long Chen and Huangfu Qi arrived at the scene, where many people were already discussing what had happened.


    “How did she suddenly die? She was fine just yesterday! Did someone kill her? Who would dare to do such a thing? She was as beautiful as a prized gem and also the fiancee of Young Master Yu.”


    “I don’t know. I thought they were getting ready for their wedding. I think Young Master Yu is going to go crazy over this. To think his fiancee is dead now.”


    “Who would do such a thing? Wu’er has been living here for half a year. Why today of all days?”


    “We need to find the culprit and tear them to pieces!”
