Chapter 440: Ancient Graveyard


    Long Chen’s body was reacting strongly now that the person he yearned for was hugging him. More importantly, because Ling Xi was panicking and didn’t want Long Chen to stop her, she pushed him down onto the bed and pressed on him with her body.


    “Mmm …”


    She moaned and her face turned red. A faint blush appeared on her pale skin due to her embarrassment, making her look much more attractive.


    Long Chen felt like his body was going to explode when Ling Xi pushed him down and looked at him alluringly.


    “Brother Chen, I …” She lost herself in his embrace and said those few words even though she was embarrassed. Her faint breath and scent ignited the fire in Long Chen. His eyes became bloodshot and he panted rapidly. Ling Xi started going limp when she felt the heating from Long Chen’s body.


    Her eyshes fluttered and her eyes filled with lust. Long Chen slowly looked down and saw her attractive body. That was when something rose from his body like a Dragon Ancestor.


    Long Chen howled and couldn’t control his hands. He touched her breasts, and Ling Xi moaned again, as if she was electrocuted. She became like a kitten that moved away from the unfamiliar feeling of his touch.


    He looked at her again and saw how pure she looked. She was an invible piece of art that hade from the heavens.


    And now she was sitting on him without any clothes.Long Chen pped himself and snapped out of it. He took out the clothes that he had prepared for Ling Xi from his Universe Pouch. He then pushed her away and stood up, “Put this on, now!”


    Long Chen''s harshness made her confidencee crashing down. Ling Xi had always been sensitive and timid. After gathering all the courage she could muster to force herself onto him, Long Chen had rejected her, making her feel dejected. She put on her clothes and cried at the same time.


    Hiding herself in the nket, she lowered her head onto her knees and said nothing.


    Long Chen’s excited body finally calmed down. It was only at this point that he sighed in relief and sat on the bed. He gently asked, “Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?”


    Ling Xi ignored him, but her body trembled.


    “Talk.”


    “You … You detest me …” Ling Xi sobbed.


    Long Chen shook his head and sighed. “Idiot, how could you be so clueless? I will tell you why now is not the time. Lie down with me.”


    He hugged her and lied down on the bed. Then he pulled the nket and covered both of them.


    Loud thunder echoed across the skies as the heavy rain fell.


    Long Chen and Ling Xi were cultivators, sleep and nkets were useless, but Long Chen missed how fragile Ling Xi was when she used the Profound Jade Lotus. She was just a normal mortal who would freeze to death without a nket.


    He was also used to hugging her while she fell asleep. Now that she had restored her body, he was more than happy to do the same. The couple cuddled on the bed.


    Ling Xi didn’t know why Long Chen had stopped her.


    “Brother Chen, would you have stopped if I was Liu Lan?”


    Long Chen wanted to smack her on the head. He finally learned what she was worried about. He turned serious as he said, “That’s not why I stopped. Xiao Xi, have you considered how your family would react if I did that to you? Do you think I would survive?”


    This was what Long Chen was most afraid of. If not, he would’ve never stopped when Ling Xi pushed him down. She was what he yearned for the most.


    “I see. I’m such an idiot.” Ling Xi understood what he meant. “Brother Chen, I’m so sorry for being such an idiot.”


    Ling Xi blushed when she recalled how desperate and brave she was just now. She didn’t dare to look him in the eye.


    The rain continued outside while they were warm in the room. Long Chen threw away all of his worries and held her tightly. “Do you like cuddling and living like a normal person?”


    “It’s my dream.” Ling Xi’s eyes were filled with yearning as she cuddled him. She felt that this was the warmest ce in the world and would never forget her adventures with him. The entire world was cold and dangerous, and only Long Chen gave her the warmth and safety she needed. Even though she was strong now, she still liked the feeling he gave her.


    Yet she felt powerless.


    What would they have to face tomorrow?


    Long Chen dared not think about it. He just wanted to enjoy the night.


    The entire world outside was drowned in the heavy downpour, but inside the house there was only the sound of their hearts beating.


    Ling Xi buried her face in his arms and looked up with teary eyes.


    “This is the most beautiful night in my life.”


    “Shh … Don’t talk. Let’s go to sleep.” Long Chen smiled and caressed her face.


    But neither of them slept. They talked for the whole night, but in the end, morning still came.


    Ling Xi looked outside. “The rain stopped.”


    Long Chen nodded.


    “Brother Chen.” Ling Xi suddenly started crying and nted her face next to his. His face was covered in her tears too. The tears flowed down and stained the pillow.


    “They are here. They will arrive in an hour.” Ling Xi was crestfallen.


    Long Chen felt like his heart had been hollowed out, as if he had lost something important. It hurt him a lot and made it difficult for him to breathe, as if his chest had been sealed off.


    He didn’t dare ask her that question that entire night. He had been hoping that her family wouldn’t discover where she was, but now he knew that it was impossible. Just as he had expected, the path filled with thorns was just beginning.


    Long Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.


    “Ling Xi, I need you to tell me how to get to where you live.” This was the most important question. He hadn’t asked her yet because he had been hoping that Ling Xi’s family wouldn’t find her, but now he knew he had to ask.


    Thinking how she would be separated from Long Chen in an hour, her voice faltered. There was no telling if he would ever make it, and she felt her world crumbling from the intense sadness. Tears continued to streak down her face even though the rain had stopped outside.


    “Tell me now, unless you don’t want me to find you!” Long Chen’s voice was stern. Even though he felt his heart bleeding, he needed to be strong.


    Long Chen’s tone frightened her, and she stopped crying. “Brother Chen, listen closely.”


    She wiped off her tears and sobbed a little. “The Ten Thousand Nations Territory is just a corner of the Dragon Continent. It’s considered a sealed-off piece ofnd. The Ten Thousand Nations Territory is surrounded by the ocean on three sides, while thest remaining side is connected to arge and continuous deste wastnd. It’s a forbidden area that normal cultivators cannot enter. Legend has it that it was once the site of arge battle, called the Ancient Graveyard. It’s because of that ce that the people of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory cannot get out.”


    “Ancient Graveyard?”


    Ling Xi nodded and continued, “Just past the Ancient Graveyard is the Three Emperor Territory. That ce is the truend of the Dragon Continent. Each territory is asrge as the entire Ten Thousand Nations Territory. My family is in one of the three territories called the Swordsoul Pce. If you want to find me, you must first reach the Three Emperor Territories!”


    “But how can I enter the Three Emperor Territories if the Ancient Graveyard is blocking me?” Long Chen already had a good idea of how massive Ling Xi’s family was, so he wasn’t frightened when she told him.


    At least he had a goal to work towards.<blockquote>
