Chapter 378: Chapter 368 I Really Understand

Seeing the wolf-like glances of the women around him, Long Chen was startled.

Then, Long Chen quickly straightened his face, declaring seriously, "Enough with the nonsense. Back to the main point, Qing Zhi dared to leave the city alone, and given the current situation, she has been challenging opponents and sweeping through them on her journey. Her strength is not to be underestimated. I need to take this seriously. Starting today, I am going to focus on my cultivation, settle down, and prepare for any possible changes that might occur."

"That sounds good, go on and cultivate."

"Go ahead, we’ll let you off just this once."

Xia Ling and the others said in succession.

"Alright, you guys should also focus on your cultivation."

Long Chen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly left the hall.

After he exited the hall, Long Chen suddenly sped up and quickly left.

His retreating figure was just seen by Xia Ling and the others.

"Jeez, we got fooled by this guy again."

Xia Ling clenched her fists.

"Forget it, Qing Zhi is truly no simple character. Let’s let Long Chen relax a bit and concentrate on handling this."

Li Yuechan said with a smile.

...

Outside, Long Chen went to the secret training base for the seventeen people and gave some instructions before leaving the Great Xia Mansion.

He headed straight to the hotel where Wang Meng was staying, as it had been a while since he had seen Wang Meng.

Long Chen guessed Wang Meng might have already left.

But when Long Chen knocked on the door and saw Wang Meng smiling and leaning on the doorframe, he was somewhat taken aback.

"Have you been here the whole time?"

Long Chen asked.

"Where else?" Wang Meng laughed, "I was just curious to see how long it would take for you to think of me or if you’d just forget about me altogether. Luckily, it’s not as bad as I thought."

"Should I praise you, or scold you?"

Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"I’ve been waiting for you for so long, and you still want to scold me?"

Wang Meng glared at Long Chen.

"It should be a scolding, because you are incredibly silly, adorably silly, ha ha."

Long Chen couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"You’re annoying."

Wang Meng reached out to hit Long Chen.

As she was hitting him, Wang Meng suddenly started crying from the hurt.

Throughout this prolonged wait, she had always hoped Long Chen would come to find her.

But time and time again, her disappointment had built up immense frustration.

She had thought about going out to find Long Chen, but remembering his instructions, Wang Meng didn’t dare take action on her own.

So, she just waited hopelessly for such a long while.

Seeing Wang Meng’s soft crying about to turn into loud weeping, Long Chen was just about to comfort her when two security guards rushed over.

"Let her go."

The two security guards, looking fierce, stormed over, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"No, I am her..."

"That’s enough, no need to explain. We’ve already called the police. We saw you sneaking up here; definitely up to no good," one security guard stated sternly.

"The miss, rest assured, as long as you are in our hotel, we will ensure your safety," said the other.

Long Chen found the situation both laughable and frustrating as he said, "I am this lady’s friend, not a bad guy. You’ve got the wrong idea."

"Still making excuses, and she’s even crying," one security guard stated sternly.

Long Chen frowned, "I’ve been trying to explain. I’m not a bad guy. If you are going to continue being so stubborn then..."

"Then what? You want to start a fight? Come on, kid, try hitting us. If we can’t handle you today, we’ll jump off the rooftop."

"In broad daylight, daring to make a scene in the hotel, we’ve seen too many perverts like you. Simply courting death."

The two security guards, seemingly wanting to show off in front of the beauty, bravely stood in front of Wang Meng.

Wang Meng couldn’t help but laugh and cry at this unexpected situation, which she hadn’t anticipated at all.

Immediately, Wang Meng reached out, pulled apart the two security guards, and said, "My brothers, I appreciate your kindness, but he really isn’t a bad guy, he’s my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? No way, if he were your boyfriend, would he leave you alone in the hotel for so long? Miss, are you being threatened by him? Don’t worry, you don’t have to be afraid, we can protect you."

"That’s right, miss, don’t just say anything to harm yourself."

"I’m not making things up, really, he is my boyfriend. Stop it, please go back to your duties," Wang Meng said.

"This young lady is evasive with her gaze, there must be something wrong."

"I think so too. Let’s detain this guy first, and when the people from the relevant departments arrive, we can discuss it further after an investigation," another one said.

The two quickly reached a consensus and simultaneously moved to attack Long Chen.

Long Chen, at a loss for words, could only slap the two security guards away with his palm.

Immediately after, he grabbed Wang Meng and walked away.

"Wait, I still have some things in the room."

Wang Meng hurriedly said.

"What things?"

"Just some stuff."

"You have one minute, be quick about it, I don’t want any more trouble," Long Chen said.

"Alright, I’ll be quick."

Wang Meng returned to the room and came out in less than a minute.

Long Chen pulled Wang Meng out of the hotel and didn’t stop until they reached the roadside.

"Ha ha, you were mistaken for a pervert, haha, that’s hilarious."

Wang Meng laughed out loud.

Feeling annoyed and unable to contain his frustration, Long Chen slapped Wang Meng’s buttocks.

Wang Meng’s laughter stopped abruptly, her face turning red as she stared at Long Chen.

Involuntarily, Wang Meng recalled the times she had helped Long Chen with certain things, her face and ears turning even redder.

"You little girl, if you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll stop caring for you."

Long Chen threatened.

"I know I was wrong, my butt hurts from your slap,"

Wang Meng softly bit her lip, looking ruefully at Long Chen.

Long Chen shivered involuntarily, the sound of her voice making him want to be even harsher.

"Have your family been in touch with you recently?" Long Chen asked.

"They have, but I ignored them," Wang Meng said.

"It’s safe now. The Hall Master of the Heavenly God Temple has also been killed. You can return to your clan now; there won’t be anything threatening your safety anymore," Long Chen said.

"Did you kill him?"

Wang Meng asked.

"That’s not important, you just need to know that the Heavenly God Temple no longer exists," Long Chen smiled.

"I’m not going back, I want to stay with you."

Wang Meng immediately said.

"No," Long Chen refused, "I already have many women around me, I don’t need one more, beat it."

"You...you’re infuriating me," Wang Meng stamped her foot, "How can you talk so self-righteously? You big jerk."

"If you know I’m a jerk, why don’t you leave willingly? Waiting to get hurt?"

"I don’t care, I’m not leaving. I can stay and help you. Even though my strength is hugely inferior to yours, I think I can still handle ordinary masters, I’m not just a pretty face."

Wang Meng said seriously.

"No matter how strong an individual is, there’s a limit, so Wang Meng, I don’t need your help for now. Go back and train properly. When you’re truly strong and still willing to help me, I’ll gladly accept."

Long Chen said seriously.

"I understand," Wang Meng took a deep breath and then said, "Then I’ll return to my clan and find a way to take over the family, that way, I’ll definitely be able to help you."

With that, Wang Meng turned around and left.

"Wang Meng, you..."

"I really understand. Wait for good news. I promise I won’t let you down."

Wang Meng waved her hand, cutting off Long Chen, with light and determined steps, she walked away.
