Chapter 326: Chapter 316: Taking You Home

Xuanyuan Yu’er did not know what was on Long Chen’s mind; at this moment, she was very relaxed.

"Yu’er, I’ll take you back to my place," Long Chen said softly.

"You don’t live alone, do you?" Xuanyuan Yu’er asked.

"No," replied Long Chen. "Others are there too, Li Yuechan and the rest."

"I see..."

Xuanyuan Yu’er hesitated.

She indeed wanted to move in, but Xuanyuan Yu’er had many worries in her heart.

She worried that after she arrived, she might be mocked or ostracized and isolated.

After much thought, Xuanyuan Yu’er rejected Long Chen, whispering, "I won’t go, not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t know how to face them. I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m your ’mistress,’ the kind who has to stay in the shadows. But it’s fine; as long as it’s you, even if I were to be the mistress, I would have no regrets."

"Nonsense," Long Chen said. "No one dares to call you a mistress. Your status is the same as theirs; there’s no difference. And don’t worry, they will definitely treat you as a dear sister and won’t bully you."

"Really?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er was wavering again.

Long Chen nodded, explaining patiently.

Finally, after getting through to Xuanyuan Yu’er and receiving her agreement, Long Chen was relieved. Just as he was about to leave with Xuanyuan Yu’er, an unexpected voice came from behind: "Young Master Long, please wait."

Long Chen paused slightly and turned around.

Twenty meters behind him stood a man in white.

The man had an extraordinary temperament, and his eyes were clear and bright.

"Who are you?"

Long Chen asked.

The man took steps forward, coming closer.

He was of similar height to Long Chen.

Standing in front of Long Chen, his presence was no less imposing.

"Young Master Long, my name is Dugu Yu, a loose cultivator. I was also present at the Xuanyuan Family earlier. I was fortunate to witness Mr. Long’s actions and feel that Mr. Long’s cultivation is exceptionally remarkable," Dugu Yu said with a smile.

"You’re not just here to offer compliments, are you?" Long Chen said. "I like straightforwardness, not beating around the bush. Beating around the bush is too tiring, so if you have something to say, just say it."

"Ha ha, very well. Mr. Long is indeed a straightforward person, which suits my taste, so I’ll speak frankly. Those who know me are aware that I, Dugu Yu, am belligerent and love to fight. I hope to have the opportunity to spar with Mr. Long in a friendly exchange of skills. Rest assured, I am not your enemy, I simply wish to have a spar, as it has been a long time since I last encountered a worthy opponent."

"Dugu Brother appears to have a lot of free time. Only someone with ample leisure could have such an interest. Since you have proposed it, then I accept. You pick a time," Long Chen said with a smile.

"How about seven days from now, at Putuo Temple?" Dugu Yu asked.

"Good, see you then."

Long Chen, holding Xuanyuan Yu’er’s hand, left straight away.

Dugu Yu watched Long Chen’s retreating figure, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: ’Truly an interesting person. I look forward to our duel.’

...

On the other side, Long Chen was leading Xuanyuan Yu’er home.

Along the way, Xuanyuan Yu’er, curious about the term ’loose cultivator,’ asked, "Aren’t ’loose cultivators’ something that only appears in novels and TV shows?"

"They exist in reality too," Long Chen said with a light chuckle. "Loose cultivator refers to those who have not joined any sect."

"I see, but then again, I don’t understand, why would you agree to a duel with someone you’ve just met? Moreover, the location is his choice. Aren’t you afraid there might be some trap since you don’t know much about him?"

"I’m not afraid," Long Chen said. "I sensed a strong fighting spirit in him but no malice. My instincts are very accurate; there will be no problems. And even if there are issues, even if there truly is a trap, it’s of no concern; if he is an enemy, we are bound to meet sooner or later."

"You mean you aren’t afraid of being careless and putting yourself at a disadvantage?"

"I’m only afraid he won’t be strong enough," Long Chen smiled. "I am also looking forward to encountering a rival of equal strength."

"You cultivators are all oddballs. Instead of enjoying peaceful days, you have to be fighting all the time to be satisfied."

Xuanyuan Yu’er muttered.

"Haha, one day you’ll be a cultivator too, and then I’ll take you to fight side by side with me." Long Chen laughed.

"I don’t like fighting at all."

"I’m talking about fighting in bed, I’ll fight with you, is that not okay? If not, forget it."

Long Chen sighed.

"Well..." Xuanyuan Yu’er’s pretty face turned red all of a sudden, "That... can still be considered."

"Does that still need consideration? Can’t you just agree right away?" Long Chen stared at Xuanyuan Yu’er.

Xuanyuan Yu’er turned her head away, not saying a word.

"Looking at your expression, it seems you’re reluctant." Long Chen said, "It seems you don’t like me enough."

"Are you an idiot? Do I have to take the initiative myself?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er blurted out.

After asking, Xuanyuan Yu’er immediately regretted it.

Wasn’t this just openly telling Long Chen that she was looking forward to doing something with him?

In that moment, Xuanyuan Yu’er’s face was flushed, and she was speechless at her own behavior.

She felt she always lost her composure in front of Long Chen.

Before they knew it, Long Chen and Xuanyuan Yu’er had returned home.

The house was empty then, with Li Yuechan and the others already at work.

Long Chen arranged a room for Xuanyuan Yu’er and chatted with her.

Since it was Xuanyuan Yu’er’s first day, Long Chen worried she might not adjust well.

The two of them chatted a lot with each move becoming more and more intimate.

Eventually, Xuanyuan Yu’er was lying in Long Chen’s arms.

Long Chen, full of vigor, was finding it hard to contain himself and grew restless.

At the critical moment, Xuanyuan Yu’er hurriedly stopped Long Chen, quickly stood up, and whispered, "Not now."

"Why not?"

"Because Li Yuechan and the others haven’t come back yet. I have to meet them first, then... then consider it, because I can’t meet them limping, I would be too embarrassed."

Xuanyuan Yu’er said.

"Why would you be limping?"

Long Chen didn’t understand.

Xuanyuan Yu’er gave Long Chen a fierce glance, but didn’t know how to explain it to him.

After a moment of thought, Long Chen quickly caught on.

"So you mean..."

"Shut up." Xuanyuan Yu’er said angrily, "Don’t talk, and don’t... don’t seduce me anymore. You bad man, I don’t want to stay in the same room with you anymore."

"That won’t do."

Long Chen reached out and pulled Xuanyuan Yu’er into his arms again.

Xuanyuan Yu’er let out a soft cry but did not struggle.

Long Chen reached out, touching her curves.

Xuanyuan Yu’er suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained.

"Long Chen, hubby, can you please not tease me for now? I’m begging you, wait until after today, and then you can do whatever you want, okay?"

She pleaded weakly.

Long Chen, watching the blushing Xuanyuan Yu’er at that moment, was quite tempted.

"What if I don’t agree?"

Long Chen’s voice was very low.

Xuanyuan Yu’er’s delicate body trembled slightly, she opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say to Long Chen.

She also wondered what she would do if Long Chen didn’t agree.

After all, what could she do to him?

This nemesis of hers, perhaps she should just give in...

Xuanyuan Yu’er closed her eyes, her nervous eyelashes trembling as gently as her body.
