Chapter 496 - Huangfu Qi\'s Identity

“I was looking for Long Chen to spar with him. This is none of your business, girl.” Zhao Wuji glanced at her with contempt. They were at the same stage before, but now it was different.

“Do you think I have to agree to duel everyone who knocks on my door and demands to fight me?” Long Chen waved him off. Liu Yiyi’s challenge last night had already made him speechless. Zhao Wuji had the backing of the Red Ghost King, so he was not a person to be offended. If he beat Zhao Wuji up and lured the Red Ghost King out, he would be in deep trouble.

Although Long Chen was not afraid of trouble, he tried to avoid it if he could.

That was why he had ordered Zhao Wuji to leave and left with Huangfu Qi, leaving Zhao Wuji standing there like an idiot.

“Senior Zhao, what do we do now?” asked one of the disciples.

“We tried to fight fair, but he chose to be a coward. Now he is forcing me to fight dirty. It suits me anyway; we’ll fight dirty!” Zhao Wuji sneered darkly, then he ordered everyone to leave. With his current status and the fact that his uncle was a Demon General under the Clear Shallows King, no one in the Clear Shallows Pavillion stopped him.

“That idiot! Why is he trying to fight Jiang Cheng? Does he not know how strong Jiang Cheng is?”

“I know! He’s only at the Fifth Passage Stage too! He’ll be humiliating himself. Jiang Cheng completely ignored him.”

Zhao Wuji heard the whispers coming from the Clear Shallows disciples, which only fanned the flames.

I wanted to get Uncle to help me arrange a duel against Jiang Cheng, but it looks like Jiang Cheng has decided to be a coward. I’ll need to fight dirty, then. Will you be able to hide this time? Since he has chosen to do it this way, I won’t have to trouble Uncle!

With that thought, Zhao Wuji left, and a plan slowly took shape in his mind.

Zhao Wuji was only a bored, annoying child in Long Chen’s eyes. He did not care about him, and he naturally did not know what plan the brat was cooking. He was in a hurry to drag Huangfu Qi away because he had one objective—to borrow money.

“Big Brother, it’s almost time to cultivate. Aren’t you going to the training grounds?” The previous commotion was all because Long Chen had not been attending training.

“Training grounds? Isn’t that a place regular disciples go to? I can now defeat a Sixth Passage Stage direct disciple; do I still need to go to the training grounds?” he asked with a small smile.

“Oh. You don’t have to go, then. Uncle Brickhead won’t dare to scold you anymore, so you’re no longer under his control, hehe.”

Long Chen nodded.

“Right, Qi Qi. Do you have any Heavenly Passage Pills? I need to borrow some ...” To be honest, he was embarrassed about borrowing money from a young girl like her.

“Ah? I do! How many do you want? I brought one million Heavenly Passage Pills with me.” Huangfu Qi looked at him with her large eyes.

Long Chen almost fainted. One million Heavenly Passage Pills? The average Ninth Passage Stage cultivator’s net worth was one million pills, yet this ten-year-old was just carrying that many like it was pocket change. How terrifying was her background?

Long Chen thought about how Liu Yiyi, as the daughter of the Clear Shallows King, only had about two hundred thousand pills, and she was already at the Seventh Passage Stage. This meant that Huangfu Qi’s parents held a higher status than the Clear Shallows King. In the Ancient Demon Domain, only the Demon Emperor was ranked above the Clear Shallows King. This meant that her parents were some of the most powerful people in the Huangfu family!

Long Che was privately shocked.

“Big Brother, how many do you want? You can’t have them all, or my father will spank my bottom!” Huangfu Qi looked at him worriedly, afraid that he would name an astronomical figure ...

Long Chen had not planned to borrow a huge sum anyway. He only wanted to advance to the Sixth Passage Stage and then think of a method to reach the Seventh Passage Stage later.

“Qi Qi, I only need fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. I will return them to you in the future! This is my promise to you. But remember, you must not tell anyone that you have one million pills with you, or someone may try to kill you,” said Long Chen sternly.

“Only fifty thousand? Big Brother, why don’t I lend you five hundred thousand?” Huangfu Qi said.

“There’s no need, no need,” said Long Chen, sweating. He had never met such a willing lender before.

“Alright, fifty thousand, then. Big Brother, you’re the only person I’ll tell. I’d never tell other people! Not even my master! Big Brother, you’re the closest person to me!” she said with a happy grin.

Long Chen took the fifty thousand pills guiltily.

“Big Brother, are you really going to return them to me?” she suddenly looked at him with sparkling eyes.

“Of course! Why?” Long Chen saw that she seemed to have something to say.

“I just wanted to ask, if I suddenly left Ancient Demon Domain, would you look for me? To return the fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills?” she asked hopefully.

Long Chen understood that she did not care about the fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills, but whether he would look for her after they separated.

“You naughty girl! You want to play with Xiaolang, don’t you?” Long Chen said with a smile.

“Hehe! You’re very smart!”

He was speechless.

Long Chen nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I will surely return the fifty thousand pills, unless I die all of a sudden.”

“You’re strong, so you won’t die,” Huangfu Qi said confidently.

Long Chen smiled drily. Now that he had borrowed fifty thousand pills, he had a hundred and twenty thousand in total. His previous breakthrough had used up thirty thousand pills, and he only needed enough to guarantee one more advancement.

Then Long Chen started to cultivate alone. Huangfu Qi finally achieved her objective and successfully grabbed Xiaolang. Xiaolang had thought nothing of the girl in the beginning, but after getting to know her, they had grown closer too ...

Time passed quickly as he cultivated. When night fell, he sent her back because she was the direct disciple of the Clear Shallows King.

After she left, Long Chen returned to his quarters to continue cultivating. Without Ling Xi here, the only thing he could do was cultivate. When he was not cultivating, he made a habit of journaling. After he bought enough notebooks and brushes in the town outside the Ancient Demon Domain, he started recording everything that happened along this journey.

Xiao Xi, I met a girl today called Liu Yiyi. She looks very much like you, but I am very clear that she is not you ...

After a simple entry, he closed his eyes and started cultivating. This was his only hope of seeing her again. He only truly understood how deep their feelings were when they separated, and while he missed her during the day, the longing that gnawed at his heart made him miserable when night fell ...

Ten years! I might become an old man or even die before I see her. I must work even harder; I mustn’t keep her waiting for ten years. One day, I will stand proudly before her!

Intense longing filled his heart.

Memories of Ling Xi kept replaying in his mind.

He forced himself to calm down and continued to cultivate. The Earthly Qi within the Ancient Demon Domain was very thick, boosting the effect of cultivation. With Long Chen’s extraordinary talent, regular cultivation was very effective.

More time passed.

Whoosh!

Something pierced through Long Chen’s door and flew towards him. His eyes sprang open and he caught it with his hand. It was a small steel arrow. There was nothing special about it and it had not been shot with much force, so it would not have killed him.

Long Chen noticed a small strip of paper hanging on its tail, which said, Head in the direction this arrow came from. I don’t care if you’re willing or not; I must fight you again to prove who is stronger! Come alone. If you inform anyone else, it will not benefit you because I have Huangfu Qi!

It had to be Zhao Wuji.

“Oh no! He doesn’t know that Huangfu Qi has a powerful background, so he might act recklessly!” Long Chen shuddered and leaped up. There was a hint of violence in his eyes.

“He’s looking for death! I did not want to deal with him, and yet he resorted to such lowly tactics! How dare he kidnap Huangfu Qi! Has he been kicked in the head?!” Long Chen knew Zhao Wuji’s personality well. He had been talented all his life and people thought he was a peerless prodigy. He had set his eyes on being the three-time champion, but he had been robbed of his glory by a First Passage Stage cultivator. This became a huge regret. If Long Chen were an even greater prodigy than he was, he would have been willing to accept it. But Long Chen did not have a strong background, nor did he show any potential. This made Zhao Wuji very resentful.

That was why he had decided to make Long Chen pay as soon as he reached the Fifth Passage Stage. This was the personality of a childish brat, though since he was only about fourteen years old, it was normal for him to not think before he did things.

“How dare you provoke me like this! I don’t care how much of a prodigy you are ...” Long Chen shook his head. He opened his door and then dashed towards the direction Zhao Wuji had mentioned.

“Alright! Since you want to fight, I’ll fight! If you hurt Qi Qi, I’ll make you pay ten times over!”
