Chapter 453 - 453 439 The Second Linger

Chapter 453: Chapter 439: The Second Ling’er Chapter 453: Chapter 439: The Second Ling’er They dispersed, and Mutant Winged Dragon went to find Gao Ba and Sheng Kong.

Mutant Winged Dragon said, “We’re launching an attack tomorrow. I’m sorry to disturb you this late.”

Demon King Gao Ba and Evil King Sheng Kong happened to be drinking and chatting together.

“No worries, business comes first,” Gao Ba said.

Mutant Winged Dragon nodded in acknowledgement, then added, “I’m not sure what preparations the Heaven and Demon Realm have made for tomorrow, but they’ll likely find a way to keep me at bay.”

“Can they stand against the Dragon Slayer Sword?” Sheng Kong curiously asked.

“I’m not sure, but they’ll certainly try to restrain me. After all, they still have three Sacred Pearls in their possession.”

“Can three Sacred Pearls withstand the Dragon Slayer Sword?”

Upon hearing this, Mutant Winged Dragon let out a faint smile and said, “They definitely won’t rest until they’ve exhausted all possible means.”

“Just let us know what you need,” Gao Ba said, having regained the Black Demonic Spirit, he was in a much better mood than a few days ago.

“They’ll definitely guard their defense system closely, and prevent me from sabotaging it. The defense system will continue to exert its power. It will be hard for ordinary disciples to get in, but you two should be able to. Let’s head in there together when the time comes.”

Gao Ba understood what Mutant Winged Dragon was implying and said, “Rest assured, we will help you and find a way to approach the defense system.”

That’s exactly what Mutant Winged Dragon wanted to hear. He was thrilled and said, “Great! It might be dangerous, but I have faith in your martial arts skills.”

“Don’t even mention it, the important thing is defeating the Heaven and Demon Realm. We don’t want to waste any more time.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I think. We’ve come this far, there’s no point in beating around the bush!”

“Well let’s not waste time talking then. At the given time, we will work together to break down their defense system.”

“Excellent, here’s hoping for a swift victory.”

“There’s also the matter of the onslaught. We’re planning to take turns attacking,” Mutant Winged Dragon continued.

“Taking turns?”

“Correct, only by taking turns can we expose their weaknesses! How can we see their flaws without any pressure?”

Gao Ba glanced at Sheng Kong.

Mutant Winged Dragon continued, “Once we’ve broken the defense system, we still have to find our way inside. Don’t you think we’ll need to find a breakthrough?”

“I will have Yin Jue and the others follow Mitra Monk’s orders,” Gao Ba said.

All Sheng Kong could say was, “Let Mitra Monk find Shi Tuo.”

“Terrific, I knew you would be agreeable. But don’t worry, we won’t have your men leading the charge,” Mutant Winged Dragon said.

Gao Ba argued, “No, let’s all bear the burden. We need to understand each other.”

“Yes, indeed. We should work together,” Mutant Winged Dragon said.

Ye Chen didn’t know what time he fell asleep that night, but it was certainly late.

He didn’t wake up until he heard voices outside. Remembering the important matters of the day as he got up, he was somewhat surprised to see Guo Yuyun.

“Hey, what happened, didn’t you see a ghost last night?” Yu Yun sneered.

Ye Chen rubbed his eyes and gave a cold smile.

“Hurry up and eat something. After you’re done eating, head straight to the grand hall. Once I finish eating, I’ll head to the Books and Records Hall.”

“So early?”

“It’s not early.” Seeing his somewhat swollen eyelids, Yu Yun asked, “Did you stay up late last night to peep at someone bathing?”

Ye Chen listlessly replied, “I was peeping at you bathing.”

“Were you up so late last night because you were thinking about me?”

Ye Chen’s heart jolted. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “Thinking about you? How could I? I don’t have that kind of free time.”

Yu Yun laughed lightly upon hearing this and said, “Don’t be so nervous.”

“I’m not nervous,” Ye Chen exclaimed.

“Hurry up and come eat breakfast.”

“Why don’t you just move in with me? That way your servants can just come here directly and prepare our meals.”

“Sounds good.”

“You really don’t hold back, do you even know when someone is joking with you?” Ye Chen walked over.

“I don’t joke around. I say what I mean, I don’t beat around the bush!”

Ye Chen ate his food and sipped his tea.

“Could it really be that you’re this frightened just because Mutant Winged Dragon is coming?” Yu Yun curiously probed. The food was served and she waved her hand, signaling He Xibai and the others to leave.

Ye Chen kept his head down and continued eating.

“What do you have to be afraid of!” Guo Yuyun said.

“You don’t usually wake up this early,” Ye Chen remarked.

“Well, who knows when they’re going to start the fight? Once it starts, there won’t be time to eat.”

“Right, be careful when you go to the Books and Records Hall today. We don’t know if any Winged Dragons might fly over there,” Ye Chen spoke with a hint of concern.

“They probably won’t go that far. As long as the defense tower holds up and the defense system exerts its power, it won’t be easy for those Winged Dragons to penetrate our defenses.”

“Right now, we still don’t know if we can truly resist them.”

“Indeed, but I won’t be the only one over there, He Xibai and the others will also be going, we can handle one or two Winged Dragons.”

“That’s not what I wanted to stress. If we really can’t withstand the attack, don’t think about anything else, just find a way to leave, understand!” He recalled the dream he had last night, Ling’er’s death, he didn’t want such a thing to happen again.

“That will not happen, we will certainly defeat them in Demon Palace City.”

“Of course, I hope that will be the case too. But if we really can’t handle them and the defense system is breached, don’t overthink, prioritize finding a way to leave, okay!” Ye Chen stressed.

Yu Yun wanted to say she would face everything with him, even death didn’t matter. But seeing Ye Chen somewhat worried, she understood he was saying this out of concern.

“Are you… because of Ling’er, you don’t want me to end up like her?”

Ye Chen couldn’t admit this, he said, “I don’t want Demon Palace City to become Wasteland City. If we truly lose, we must leave quickly. Staying here has no meaning.”

“Just admit you don’t want me to become the second Ling’er, let me be moved, is it really that hard!”

“Hey, crazy girl, didn’t you listen to me properly! I’m not joking with you now, this is a war, if we lose, all who stay behind will be slaughtered, I have witnessed the gruesome scene at Wasteland City, it’s beyond your imagination.”

“Got it.”

“In war, there are no morals to speak of, particularly in such battles. We’ve killed so many from the Demon and Dragon Slaying Clans lately. They will vent their hatred on you all.”

Yu Yun looked at Ye Chen, realizing he cared about her, she asked, “Have you ever been this concerned for my sister?”

Ye Chen coldly threw back, “No.”

“Do you want some time to care about my sister then? So you two can have an intimate moment?”

“You really think I don’t have enough troubles already!”

Yu Yun laughed.

“Stop laughing silly and remember, if we can’t hold them back, find a way to get out, to leave here first,” Ye Chen added.

“What about you? Will you stay behind and die with the rest?”

“No, if one could live, who would want to die!” Ye Chen answered.

“True, only fools would do such a thing.” Yu Yun then asked, “Can you promise me that you’ll try your best to stay alive!”

“I will do my best.”

“Don’t speak of trying your best, just promise me that you’ll stay alive.”

“Fine, as per your request, don’t do anything reckless if something really happens. I’m good at martial arts, I can escape anytime, but with you along, I doubt either of us can escape,” Ye Chen emphasized.

“How did Yu Yun die?”

“She was burnt to death in a big fire. Couldn’t even make out her corpse. Be careful in future, once roasted, it’s hard to tell human flesh apart. Just sprinkle some salt over and it’s edible.”

“Stop, I’m eating.”

“Didn’t you want to know! I’m telling you.”

“Fine, I’ll take care of myself, you also need to take care of yourself, don’t be reckless, rushing forward without thinking.”

“Do you see me as a brawny simpleton with no capacity to think!”

“That’s really hard to say. But you’re definitely a really stubborn one.” Yu Yun said.

“I’ve said everything that needs to be said, whether you listen or not, I’ve done my part.”

“Fine, I won’t come back.”

“That’s better, after all, your life is your own, manage it yourself.”

“I understand, stop it. I promise I’ll listen to you, what don’t you trust me with?”

“Let’s eat then,” Ye Chen said.

The bell sounded, signaling the call to assemble.

It seemed as though the Dragon Slaying Clan was ready to attack.

Jiang Zhuge rushed in, “Their forces are gathering outside the city gate.”

Ye Chen paused for a while. It looked like it was time to begin.

“Let’s eat, they haven’t attacked yet!” Yu Yun seemed more composed than Ye Chen.

Jiang Zhuge relayed some messages from Guo Mingyu to Ye Chen, and quickly left with Li Mo after.

“I will join you soon,” Ye Chen said.

Jiang Zhuge and Li Mo marched out with a large group of people. Suddenly, only Ye Chen and Yu Yun, along with the two maids, were left in the courtyard.

“Eat up, you don’t want to be hungry later.”

“If I eat too much, I’m afraid I won’t be able to run later.” Ye Chen replied.

Yu Yun laughed and said, “That’s because you haven’t been working out recently.”

“Alright, I’m truly full.” Ye Chen put down his chopsticks, dashed into his room to get ready, but swiftly came out again.

“I really have to get to the main hall.” Ye Chen said.

Yu Yun stopped him.

Ye Chen turned back and asked, “You’re not actually planning on stopping me for a farewell kiss, are you?”

“Aren’t you always this unserious.” Yu Yun smiled.

“Alright, cut out the sentimentality, take good care of yourself.”

“Similarly, you take care of yourself and don’t be too headstrong.”
