Chapter 421: Chapter 406: One Wave Subsides, Another Arises_2

But there were no ifs, and the last thing Dongfang Wuxin should have done was provoke me.

Long Chen took a deep breath, turned around, and said to the surveillance camera, "Send someone to clean this up."

He knew that Xia Ling and the others were watching the surveillance.

In the surveillance room, upon hearing Long Chen’s words, Xia Ling and the others immediately filed out of the room.

An hour later, everything outside was cleaned up and the scent of blood in the air had been meticulously dealt with.

Afterwards, the group returned to Great Xia Mansion.

Long Chen put his feelings in order and asked with a smile, "Did you prepare the thing I asked for?"

"What thing?"

Xia Ling was confused.

Long Chen sighed and said, "Didn’t I ask you to adjust the water temperature in the bathhouse? What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you don’t want to?"

"Are you stupid?" Xia Ling said. "The water temperature in the bathhouse is automatically controlled, and the water circulates on its own. If you want to bathe, just go in."

"Really?" Long Chen forced a laugh. "I didn’t notice. Well, what are we waiting for? The night is quiet, the perfect time for a bath. Come on, my treasures, let’s go have a bath together."

"You bad guy, you really want to drag us to the bathhouse?"

Zhao Churan calmed herself down, intending to give Long Chen a hard glare.

But as she looked at Long Chen, her gaze softened to an extreme tender and flirtatious level.

"Ladies, our husband has worked hard. Why don’t we just reluctantly agree to his request this one time, huh? Anyway, we can’t do other things, and I believe he’d be too embarrassed to try."

Xia Ling said with a giggly smile, having relaxed after dealing with the external threat.

"Xia sister has the right idea. You all should learn from her. Listen to what Xia sister says."

Long Chen said solemnly.

"Fine, fine, let’s satisfy him this one time."

"Considering your decent performance, we’ll go along with it this time."

"Hehe, then what are we waiting for? Let’s go." Long Chen, planning to go to the bathhouse with an arm around a girl on each side.

"Wait a second." Han Yun said in a low voice, "I... maybe I shouldn’t go."

"Oh, come on, how can we leave you out? Join us, it’s fine, we all know about your relationship with Long Chen, no need to be shy."

Xuanyuan Yu’er pulled Han Yun along.

"Okay then."

Han Yun felt a bit awkward.

She thought that she was the only woman among the group who had given birth, and the child wasn’t even Long Chen’s.

This fact alone made Han Yun feel somewhat inferior.

However, Xia Ling and the others could clearly see where Han Yun’s embarrassment lay.

Xia Ling whispered in Han Yun’s ear, in an extremely soft voice, "Han sister, that little girl is very cute. We all will cherish her like our own, so don’t have any other thoughts."

Upon hearing these words, Han Yun felt a warmth in her heart and whispered a thank you.

"Thank what? We’re all sisters here. Let’s go. It’s time to go wild with that bad guy Long Chen."

Xia Ling said with a mischievous grin.

Moments later, the group arrived at the bathhouse.

The bathhouse was very large, easily accommodating a dozen people.

Furthermore, this bathhouse had been personally designed by Long Chen, very ’safe’ and reliable.

Long Chen closed the bathhouse door, looked at the steaming water, stripped off his clothes, and jumped in.

Splash.

A large splash of water rose high, splattering on Xia Ling and the others’ dresses.

"Oh, Long Chen, you’re so naughty."

"This bad guy, he’s really in a rush."

"Ladies, let’s go sort him out."

Quickly, the group of women all rushed into the bathhouse, starting to play and frolic with Long Chen.

At first, Long Chen was just playing around with the ladies, but as they played, the mood changed.

The first one to succumb was Zhao Churan, who tried to maintain a normal smile, but because she was too overwhelmed, she quickly fell into temptation.

Xia Ling and the others were shocked; they didn’t expect Long Chen would dare.

"Husband, you are simply..."

Xia Ling opened her mouth to speak but then hesitated.

But soon after, Xia Ling was overcome.

"Ah..."

Xia Ling let out a cry, startling everyone.

Contrasting with the liveliness of Great Xia Mansion, the scene inside a certain cave dwelling in the south was much more somber.

This cave dwelling was the retreat of the Sword Master.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, breathing heavily.

"This Long Chen will probably become the enemy of my lifetime."

The Sword Master gripped his sword tightly, his gaze icy.

Beside him, a supremely beautiful young woman whispered, "Don’t disturb your own Dao heart, no matter how strong that young man is, he’s just a youth. Don’t take him too seriously. Right now, your top priority is to patiently make a Breakthrough. Once you enter the Rune Dao Realm, you can kill that young man with a mere thought."

"But as for entering the Rune Dao Realm, I do not know how long it will take. Perhaps, during my breakthrough, Long Chen might breakthrough as well, and that would complicate the situation, so..."

Sword Master stared at the young woman, hesitating to continue.

"I understand," said the young woman. "You want me to make a move, right?"

"Xuan’er, it’s hard on you," Sword Master said with a smile.

"Fine, then you be careful. Don’t rush it."

The woman replied.

"You be careful as well," Sword Master said. "When you return, after my breakthrough, I will give you a grand wedding. Then, we can consummate our marriage and make up for some regrets from our youth."

"It’s you who’ve gotten old and lost your ability, not me," the woman said playfully.

"Cough, once I enter the Rune Dao Realm, I will be able to rejuvenate it," Sword Master said with an embarrassed laugh.

"In fact, you know that since I’ve known you, you never had ’that thing’. But I don’t mind. I have always believed that to love someone doesn’t require ’that’. But you care, so I’ve waited for you all these years."

"Xuan’er, your devotion moves me deeply. I will never let you down,"

said the white-haired old man to the young and beautiful woman, expressing such promises.

This sight looked quite bizarre.

Yet, they seemed to relish it.

Not long after, the woman called Xuan’er left the cave dwelling, heading to Qianzhou.

Her mission was to kill Long Chen!

Two days later, the woman named Xuan’er arrived in Qianzhou.

She did not go directly to Great Xia Mansion but instead found someone to send a letter of challenge into Great Xia Mansion for Long Chen.

Long Chen received the challenge letter, glanced at the signature, and the name "Chu Xuan" leapt to his eyes.

"Chu Xuan."

Long Chen frowned. Who was this person?

Undoubtedly, this Chu Xuan had something to do with Sword Master, but Long Chen was unclear about the specifics.

However, the fact that she dared issue a challenge after wiping out thousands of people meant that this woman was no ordinary person.

"My husband, Dongfang Wuxin once mentioned that he had a ’shimu’ with a high realm. Could this woman be her?"

Xia Ling suddenly said.

On hearing this, Long Chen’s eyes shone with realization, "You reminded me correctly. That old guy is in seclusion for a breakthrough and can’t come out himself. So he must have sent his woman. It’s likely her.

"I just didn’t expect that an old witch would have such a youthful-sounding name."

"So, will you accept the fight?"

Xia Ling asked.

"Of course I’ll accept. Solving this woman will give us a period of peace,"

Long Chen replied with a smile.

"She’s arranged to battle you outside the city. Could it be a trap? I think we should be careful,"

Xia Ling said seriously.

"Sigh, one trouble follows another. It’s so annoying,"

Zhao Churan sighed as well.

"No worries, I can handle it. Just wait for my good news at home. I’ll go meet this woman and see just how capable she really is,"

Long Chen laughed, showing no sign of panic.

"Are you leaving now?" Xuanyuan Yu’er asked.

"A night battle, of course, means leaving now. It’s almost dark. This old woman didn’t pick a good time to send a challenge," Long Chen said.

"Then you go, and take care,"

Xia Ling said with a wry smile.

"Alright."

Long Chen waved and stepped out.

Long Chen guessed that Chu Xuan had come to Qianzhou specifically to challenge him right away, hoping to settle the score quickly and then return to continue standing by Sword Master’s side.

And Long Chen had the same idea—to end the battle swiftly and enjoy a few peaceful days with Xia Ling and the others.

In some respects, their intentions were the same: neither harbored deep-seated hatred for the other, yet they were compelled to fight.

Before long, Long Chen arrived at the designated battle site.

It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with an ancient forest in front.

At nightfall, the place was deserted and eerily quiet.

Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for Chu Xuan to appear.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Long Chen suddenly opened his eyes and reached out with two fingers into the void.

Whoosh.

A flying knife fell, pinched between Long Chen’s fingers.

Long Chen sniffed the knife, finding it fragrant with perfume.

"Old hag, at your age, you still..."

Long Chen began to turn around.

But upon seeing what was before him, Long Chen was taken aback.
