Yue Ye pondered the request for a whole quarter of an hour before raising her head once more. She looked at Long Haochen and said suddenly, “I can tell you, but I can only tell you. And, you must promise that only you will know. You aren’t allowed to tell anyone else, including your best friends, even your wife.” As she said that, she tossed a challenging glance to Cai’er.
Cai’er looked back at her calmly. She did not mind at all.
“Alright, I agree.” Long Haochen nodded without too much thought. The identity of the leader of Yue Ye’s organisation was extremely important to him. It would relate to his next arrangements.
Yue Ye slowly made her way to Long Haochen. This time, Yang Wenzhao did not stop her. She arrived three meters away from Long Haochen and she actually continued forwards. Long Haochen could not help but frown, “You should be able to tell me by sound transmission from this distance.”
Yue Ye shook her head, “The matter’s too important. Your companions are all powerful, so I’m afraid of them eavesdropping.” As she said that, she had already arrived by Long Haochen’s side. She moved towards his ear.
Although Long Haochen felt rather awkward, the matter was important, so he could not afford to be bothered by other factors now. Her breath smelt like orchids while her body gave off a faint fragrance. Perhaps due to travelling at her full speed, her fragrance was heavier than before.
Long Haochen jerked back slightly, but Yue Ye would immediately catch up. She would use her hands to grab his arm and pull him lower. She whispered something gently in his ear.
“What? It’s actually him?” Long Haochen was completely taken aback by what Yue Ye had told him. It was also in that moment that Yue Ye gently kissed his earlobe, before quickly retreating.
She moved very quickly, but how was it possible for Cai’er to miss that as she had always been paying attention to the two of them? She immediately fell into a rage, “You…”
Yue Ye retreated to ten meters away and said to Cai’er, “I what? His life is already yours, so so what if I kiss him? I like him.”
Cai’er’s face immediately sank. Her sharp glare made Yue Ye’s heart tighten and instinctively take a few more steps backwards. She could clearly sense the powerful killing intent Cai’er was giving off.
Long Haochen recovered from his shock now. His earlobe felt numb. He was unable to describe the feeling. However, he was in no mood to feel awkward, because the answer Yue Ye had told him was just too shocking. He wrapped his arm around Cai’er’s thin waist very naturally and said to Yue Ye, “You can go now. From now onwards, we are working together with full cooperation. What I need first is for your organisation to provide me with information, not just information from your side, but also a constant flow of accurate information about the demon army’s offence on the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass and Northeastern Fort. My promise from back then will hold. If we defeat the demons, then we will definitely give your organisation territory by the sea as a place of residing, as well as five hundred years of autonomy. With so much time, it should be plenty for you to completely assimilate into the humans.”
Yue Ye smiled, “You believe me now, but why should I believe you will hold your promise?”
Cai’er could not help herself back anymore. She shouted, “Haochen’s word is worth more than a thousand bars of gold. Has he ever broken it?”
Yue Ye ignored her. She only looked at Long Haochen.
Long Haochen asked sternly, “What do you want?”
Yue Ye smiled, “It’s very simple.” She pointed at her cheek and said, “Kiss me and I’ll believe you.”
“You…” Fury rose up in Cai’er and she was just about to burst out in anger, but Long Haochen grabbed her firmly. Normally, Cai’er was very calm. However, Yue Ye’s provocation today had crossed her bottom line. Although she completely believed in Long Haochen, Yue Ye was just as pretty as her and her extreme teasing of Long Haochen had made her especially furious.
Long Haochen held Cai’er firmly and his gaze coldened. He said seriously, “You can go. That’s the end of our cooperation.”
Yue Ye was surprised, “You’d actually abandon the future of the Temple Union for her? You aren’t a qualified leader.”
Long Haochen said indifferently, “For Cai’er, I’m even willing to abandon my beliefs. Not to mention, is your organisation crucial for us to oppose the Demon God Emperor? If we work together, then we both benefit, but if we don’t you have no promise either. If you choose a path of destruction, I have no reason to stop you.”
Cai’er’s rigid body finally softened up. She lowered her slightly and glanced at Long Haochen slightly apologetically. She seemed like an indignated wife. She was no longer as furious as before.
A sliver of disappointment clearly appeared in the bottom of Yue Ye’s eyes, but her smile remained the same, “Okay then, I get it, you value your ties with others over everything else. Aren’t I just joking? I’ll just believe your sincerity. I have to head back immediately. Afterwards, our people will remain in contact with you. Be careful of Ah’Bao. His strength is nothing like before. And I heard the Demon God Emperor’s given him a few powerful pieces of equipment as well.”
With that, she turned around and drifted away. She disappeared below a ridge beside the clearing in the mountains. However, what no one saw was how tears had already pooled up in Yue Ye’s eyes when she left them.
Cai’er whispered in Long Haochen’s ear, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have…”
Long Haochen held her hand tightly, “Why are you apologising?”
The two smiled at each other and everything dissipated, only feeding their feelings for each other.
Shu Yongxiao rolled her eyes at Long Haochen. She sneered, “Little Long, there are many temptations in the world and you hold a lofty position as well. You better guard your heart. Cai’er, you need to watch him well.”
Cai’er blushed and said, “I believe in him.”
Long Haochen cleared his throat, “The information Yue Ye’s brought has been very timely. We have to rearrange our plans. Since Ah’Bao is leading a vanguard over, let’s give him a frontal attack. The Demon God Emperor has clearly sent him as the vanguard to locate us. We won’t be able to avoid this fight. We have to give Han Yu and the others plenty of time to retreat.”
Xiao Huo said, “The Demon God Emperor has come this time with great hostility. He’s brought all of the strongest elites among the Demon race. That’s over two hundred powerhouses of the ninth step. With our current strength, it’s very difficult for us to fend them off. Should we send our companions back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass?”
Long Haochen shook his head, “We can’t. The demon army’s attacks on the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass and Northeastern Fort hasn’t been confirmed yet, so we can’t throw ourselves into disorder first. Let’s deal with Ah’Bao’s vanguard first, and then we have to clash with the Demon God Emperor slightly. Only by realising the actually difference between me and the Demon God Emperor can we decide the future plans with greater confidence.”
He did not go into detail, but Xiao Huo could tell that Long Haochen had already made up his mind, so Xiao Huo did not ask about anything else. He only nodded and said, “We can only take on step at a time and see now.”
“Ah’Bao.” A cold light flashed through Long Haochen’s eyes. He had fought with Ah’Bao a total of two times. He remembered the second time especially well. It was just when Cai’er was undergoing her awakening as the one chosen by the God of Death. Because of Ah’Bao’s attack, Cai’er had almost become injured and he himself had become heavily wounded. If it were not for Ye Xiaolei, who knew what would have happened in the end. This time would clearly be different from last time.
A black figure shot through the air as blurs. Due to travelling too quickly, blurs would still remain in the air a thousand meters behind his body.
Ah’Bao squinted his eyes slightly as his chest burned. Five years. It had already been five long years. He had waited for this day for far too long.
He had already forgotten the Demon God Emperor’s warning. The only thing he wanted to do right now was clash with Long Haochen. He wanted to prove that he was stronger and more outstanding than Long Haochen. The shame from his past defeat under Long Haochen’s hands was not the only thing in his heart. He also blamed Long Haochen for Yue Ye breaking off her engagement with him. In other words, Long Haochen was basically Ah’Bao’s most important opponent in his life. If he did not defeat Long Haochen, he would never be able to overcome this matter.
A black figure suddenly flew over from ahead towards Ah’Bao’s group.
“Crown prince.”
When they met, the black figure suddenly stopped and traveled backwards, joining Ah’Bao’s group. He did not make the group slow down at all.
“Is there news?” Ah’Bao asked coldly.
The black figure was a large man in black clothes. Below his thick eyebrows were a pair of purplish black pupils. He seemed like he was in his forties. His skin complexion was dark as his face seemed vicious. Compared to the Moon Demon Clan, the Devil Dragons were much more powerful, but in terms of appearance, they were not as graceful as the Moon Demons.
“According to the information we’ve received, the Skynet City of the Skynet Province was attacked just six hours ago. The capital’s been heavily destroyed with their grain silos burnt to the ground. Many resources have been cleaned out. I continued to follow them and around ten thousand people of the human army are moving northward. They’re travelling very quickly. It seems like they’ve anticipated our arrival and have begun their retreat.”
Vicious light flickered in Ah’Bao’s eyes. He waved his hand and ordered sternly, “Lead the way. Pursue them.”
I’ve found them. Ah’Bao clenched his first firmly as cold light shone in his eyes. With a target identified, he felt like Long Haochen was only inches away now.
After five years of waiting, they were finally going to face each other. Ah’Bao experienced some nervousness within his excitement, but his confidence in himself did not waver at all. Confidence was crucial to victory. If he had developed fear before the battle, then he had already lost half of it.
The sky had already darkened slightly now. The sunset left behind a faint, red colour in the sky as the residual glow from the setting sun seemed warm and gentle. It formed quite the contrast to the vicious thoughts in Ah’Bao’s head.
Long Haochen! The name constantly resounded through Ah’Bao’s head. Under his lead, the twenty Devil Dragons sped up. They traveled northward in pursuit.
