Chapter 355: Chapter 345: Can You Do It?

In the shadows, Yao Lao walked out trembling with fear.

Seeing Yao Lao unharmed, Ning Shenhua and his brother were infuriated.

"You old thing, you’ve hidden yourself quite well."

Ning Shenhua cursed loudly.

"Gr...Great Young Master, as you know, this old one lacks fighting ability, I only practice alchemy."

Yao Lao whispered.

"Enough, stop the nonsense, Old Yao, go and castrate Ning Shenhua, there’s a knife on the ground."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"This..."

Yao Lao was somewhat afraid.

"Don’t force me to do it myself; if I do it myself, all three of you will die."

Long Chen spoke sternly.

He was not joking—if Yao Lao continued to dawdle, he really would kill someone.

Yao Lao was startled and hurriedly picked up a knife from the ground. Despite trembling, he mustered the courage to say to Ning Shenhua, "Great Young Master, I...I am affronting you, please lie down properly."

"You..."

Ning Shenhua’s face turned red with anger, gritting his teeth.

But after glancing at Long Chen’s expression, Ning Shenhua did not dare to retaliate.

To save his life, he lay down feeling immensely humiliated.

At this moment, Ning Shenhua truly regretted everything.

If he hadn’t come to Qianzhou, if he hadn’t arrogantly killed someone from the City Lord Mansion who was investigating as soon he got here, perhaps things would not have escalated to this point.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

"Great Young Master, take them off."

Yao Lao reminded.

Hearing this, Ning Shenhua cried.

Unable to stand Ning Shenhua’s dithering any longer, Long Chen flicked his finger, and spiritual power shot out like a blade’s edge, shredding Ning Shenhua’s trousers to pieces.

"Proceed."

Long Chen said solemnly.

Yao Lao squatted down, and after a moment’s hesitation, he began the deed.

Within just ten seconds, Ning Shenhua’s shrill scream filled the night sky.

Ning Shenji was so frightened that he trembled all over; it was simply too terrifying.

"Well done, now crush that thing in your hand."

Long Chen said.

"Mr. Long, even if I don’t crush it, it can’t be reattached."

Yao Lao hurriedly said.

"One, two..."

Long Chen began counting.

Yao Lao shuddered with fear and quickly threw it on the ground and chopped it to pieces.

Seeing this, Ning Shenhua’s eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.

Ning Shenji could not bear to watch any longer and leaned to one side, vomiting frantically.

Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said, "This is a harsh lesson for you. Never think yourselves above others; in the eyes of certain people, you are just insects."

As his words fell, Long Chen acted, stripping the three men of all their cultivation without any hesitation.

After finishing these deeds, Long Chen left.

Downstairs, Long Chen encountered the City Lord.

The City Lord, seeing Long Chen, inquired urgently about the situation.

After a brief explanation, Long Chen said, "Go upstairs and take the three surviving Heavenly God Temple members into custody, keep them confined without harming them; oh, and that old man knows some medical arts, let him treat those two fellows. Don’t let them die; we still have uses for them later."

"Yes." The City Lord nodded and said bitterly, "Mr. Long, I am utterly ashamed that I could not be of any help."

"It’s not your fault. These people’s abilities have already exceeded worldly understanding. In the future, once the Great Xia Mansion is established, I will try not to trouble the City Lord Mansion with these matters; handling these people is the duty of the Great Xia Mansion. We shall each attend to our own responsibilities."

"Right, at Great Xia Mansion, I will speed up the construction period and strive to complete it as soon as possible. City Lord, you must remember to keep those three people on the rooftop tightly secured; no information must leak out," said Long Chen.

"Yes, I understand," replied the City Lord solemnly.

"Hmm, I take my leave," said Long Chen, bowing slightly before he stepped away.

Around the corner, Long Chen saw Wang Meng.

Wang Meng felt scared and dared not meet Long Chen’s eyes.

"You didn’t leave?" Long Chen frowned deeply. "Didn’t I tell you to go back?"

"I...I assure you I didn’t go upstairs; really, I was just waiting here for you to come down," Wang Meng hastily replied.

"You are so disobedient. If you were to follow me, you would likely cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, you should leave," said Long Chen, waving his hand.

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Don’t drive me away. I know I was wrong. Next time, I will definitely listen to you. If you ask me to leave, I will leave, really. I will listen to you, please don’t drive me away, okay?"

"I think you can’t change. You should just leave," said Long Chen with a stern expression.

"I can change; I truly can. This time I was genuinely worried about you, which is why I couldn’t leave alone. I acknowledge my mistake. Please, I don’t want to leave. If I lose you, I really won’t know what to do. My family will pressure me; I could die," sobbed Wang Meng, heartbroken.

Long Chen smiled lightly and said, "Now you really don’t have to worry about that because the nine Elders of Heavenly God Temple have all died up there, and even Ning Shenhua has been crippled. Heavenly God Temple’s fate has run out. Your family should no longer fear such a Heavenly God Temple, so they won’t press you to make amends or anything similar."

"You alone killed the nine Elders of Heavenly God Temple?" asked Wang Meng in shock.

"Is it that difficult?" asked Long Chen.

Wang Meng, startled, stood with her mouth slightly open, unable to speak.

Long Chen stared at her mouth, unintentionally recalling the image of Wang Meng kneeling in front of him offering him help.

Long Chen quickly averted his gaze to stop himself from thinking further.

Wang Meng gradually came to her senses and whispered, "Even if the nine Elders are dead, as long as the Hall Master is alive, it will still be extremely dangerous. His cultivation is said to be at the peak of the Creation Realm. If he doesn’t die, Heavenly God Temple won’t fall. A master at the peak of the Creation Realm, even if he’s alone, is still very formidable."

"You don’t have to worry about that. Go back to your family; he wouldn’t dare challenge your entire family alone. After all, not everyone is named Long Chen," said Long Chen with a small smile.

"I won’t leave even if it kills me."

Wang Meng quickly wrapped her arms around Long Chen’s arm.

"What are you doing? Trying to be stubborn again? Do you know the consequences of being stubborn?" Long Chen stared at Wang Meng.

"I know, but I’m not afraid," whispered Wang Meng. "Having done it once, twice or thrice more won’t make a difference. I’m willing."

"You’re hopeless," Long Chen said with an exasperated laugh.

"Then won’t you ask me to leave?" asked Wang Meng cautiously.

"It depends on your behavior in a while," replied Long Chen.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Wang Meng anxiously.

"You’ll know in a while."

Long Chen led Wang Meng into a hotel and checked into a room.

The moment she stepped into the hotel, Wang Meng tensed up completely.

Was he planning to completely take advantage of her?

With a strange feeling, Wang Meng entered the room with Long Chen.

"I have paid the room fee for a month. For the next month, try not to go out if you can, to avoid drawing attention," said Long Chen.

Too nervous to look at Long Chen, Wang Meng trembled and asked in a whisper, "You...you mean to stay in this room with me, continuously for a month? Can you... can you really do that?"
