However, that caused Long Chen to feel uneasy. For a peak expert like Mo Nian, tempering four bones would cause his battle strength to soar to a terrifying point.
Most importantly, it was unknown just how many peak experts like Mo Nian were present in the secret realm at the moment. After all, this place had gathered the top geniuses of seven prefectures. No one knew just how many experts were hiding still.
“Mo Nian, how many people on the same level as you came from Qing Prefecture?” asked Long Chen.
“There are three. However, you don’t need to be afraid of them. With me present, they won’t dare make any big waves. They don’t have the guts to mess around with my Mo Gate. When the time comes for you to resolve your revenge with Han Tianyu, I will represent Mo Gate to fully support you. There are hundreds of disciples from Mo Gate in the Jiuli secret realm right now, and none of them are those useless types. Whoever dares try anything can be directly stomped to death!” Mo Nian was fully confident.
Long Chen was moved that Mo Nian would be so loyal. Raising their wine bowls, they continued drinking. He listened to Mo Nian explain the experts he knew.
Mo Nian said that Qing Prefecture had three other fellows that were extremely powerful. The four of them were called Qing Prefecture’s Four Heroes.
When it came to strength, those three were a slight level weaker than Mo Nian. But their strength had actually reached the point that they were definitely stronger than Han Tianfeng. That gave Long Chen a shock.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Suddenly, all of Compass Mountain began to shake. An enormous aura charged over at Long Chen like a ferocious beast.
“Bastards, if you dare injure a hair on sister Wan-er’s head, I’ll smash you into mincemeat!”
An angry roar shook the land. At the same time, a figure rushed over on top of Compass Mountain, bringing with it a line of dust.
Hearing that voice, Long Chen was delighted. That voice was far too familiar.
A figure shot over like lightning. That figure had a body like an iron tower, appearing so imposing that he was like a giant god.
“Wilde!”
“Brother Long, haha, I finally get to see you again!”
The person who had come was precisely Wilde. Seeing Long Chen, Wilde was incredibly excited, and he gave Long Chen an incredibly powerful hug.
Muscles bulged all over Wilde, and his body was filled with an explosive strength. In his happiness, he had actually forgotten to control his strength. This hug of his was enough to crush someone.
Fortunately, Long Chen’s physical body was tough. Anyone else would have long since choked. After hugging, Long Chen patted Wilde, his voice emotional as he said, “Good brother. I’m glad you’re fine.”
“The power of this fellow’s qi and blood is terrifying.” Mo Nian jumped in fright at Wilde’s aura.
The current Wilde seemed just like a human-shaped Magical Beast. His qi and blood surged, and his body seemed to contain a volcano that might erupt with an apocalyptic power at any moment.
Suddenly, a burst of bird cries rang out. The sky darkened as three huge figures directly flew over at Long Chen.
“They’re on our side!” Seeing Wilde and Wan-er had both taken defensive positions, Long Chen calmed them.
The three huge figures slowly descended. Those were violet birds over sixty meters long. The pressure of fourth rank Magical Beasts came from them, truly making them seem like divine steeds.
“Long Chen, sister Wan-er!”
Long Chen was surprised to see that the Violet Phoenix Sparrows had reached the fourth rank. He didn’t know what technique they had used for them to grow so quickly.
On the backs of the three Violet Phoenix Sparrows were Chu Yao, Meng Qi, and Lu Fang-er. Chu Yao was the first to jump off and give Tang Wan-er a hug.
“Sister Yao-er, I’m so happy to see you again!” Tang Wan-er also hugged Chu Yao back, crying tears of joy. Within this bloody, cruel secret realm, the feeling of close friends was truly moving.
“Wan-er, hello.” At this time, Meng Qi also walked over. When she got close, she smiled slightly at Tang Wan-er.
“You must be big sister Meng Qi, right? You really are beautiful. It’s no wonder Long Chen reminisces about you all day.”
Tang Wan-er was also someone extremely confident in her beauty. Previously, before she had seen Meng Qi, she had even felt a bit of competitiveness in her heart. But after seeing Meng Qi, that slight competitive spirit vanished like smoke.
Meng Qi’s beauty was not just something based on her outer appearance. It was something that came from an immortal charm that exuded from every part of her. It was something that would completely convince anyone.
“Sister Wan-er, you’re the beautiful one. Even my heart is about to move. Come, let’s go find someplace with no one around. I’ll give you a gift that I guarantee you’ll like.” Just like that, Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Chu Yao, and Lu Fang-er all rushed into the distance.
“Eh?”
Long Chen had had his hand raised the entire time, but he had never had the time to say anything. From the start, they hadn’t given him any opportunity, leaving Long Chen to just stand there like a wooden stake.
“Long Chen, I really do have to admire you. Just how did you do this?” Each one of those beauties was like a fairy. Their voices were like birdsong, but they were too far away for the men to hear what they were saying. Seeing how very harmonious they were, Mo Nian couldn’t help but sigh.
“What do you mean?”
“When they’re together, do they not fight?”
“Fight?”
Long Chen smiled bitterly. Seeing their attitudes, it seemed fighting amongst themselves wasn’t that likely. If they were vexed, they would probably be fighting together against him.
Although he was smiling bitterly, he was actually delighted inside. He had always been very worried about what would happen when everyone was together. But it seemed he could be at ease for now.
“Hey, as brothers, how about you teach me some of your exclusive techniques? That way I’ll be able to settle that evil woman,” whispered Mo Nian.
“Evil woman?”
“In truth… she’s my fiancée. She’s really too ruthless to me. But I’m a man! You understand!”
Long Chen looked at Mo Nian with disbelief. This was inconceivable. A peak expert like him had such worries?
“To tell the truth, I really don’t have any experience in this area,” said Long Chen.
Mo Nian disdainfully said, “Nonsense. If you don’t have any experience, then tell me, why are they so peaceful with each other? If I even say a few words to another woman, I’ll be beaten and chased down by that evil woman.”
“Maybe it’s-”
“Don’t say I’m lacking what a person should have again. Just help me out. I treat you like a brother, and I didn’t even bother about you framing me. Do you really have the heart to not help me out?” raged Mo Nian.
Seeing Mo Nian’s extremely serious manner, Long Chen was speechless. If Long Chen did try to evade any longer, then Mo Nian really would get angry.
But did Long Chen really have such amazing techniques to play around with girls? Furthermore, what Mo Nian was looking for wasn’t pick-up techniques, but ways to subdue a woman. He wanted to subdue a woman? And an apparently powerful woman as well? He might as well try ascending to the heavens.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out from the side.
Wilde scratched his head with embarrassment. “Brother Long, I’m hungry.”
Hearing that, Long Chen’s eyes lit up and he patted Mo Nian on the shoulders. “I’ll give you an opportunity. It’ll be up to you to grab the chance.”
Chapter 412 Happiness and Emotion
Atop Compass Mountain, there was an enormous grill with a piece of meat over thirty meters long. It was being roasted by a violet flame, oil dripping down its side, and a delicious fragrance co
ming from it that would make a person drool.
“A fifth rank Magical Beast’s flesh as a meal. That really is luxurious.” Mo Nian couldn’t help but sigh when he saw that piece of meat.
This was the Barbaric Wind Beast’s tail. It had been skinned and then placed on this grill. Mo Nian had jumped when he first saw its corpse.
But then Long Chen had said that he wasn’t the one to kill it, and it was just two Magical Beasts that had fought together, allowing him to take advantage. Only then did Mo Nian relax.
After all, a fifth rank Magical Beast was equivalent to human Meridian Opening experts. Such a powerful Magical Beast was something only Xiantian experts had the ability to kill. If Long Chen could kill fifth rank Magical Beasts, then that would really be too terrifying.
“Long Chen, didn’t you say you’d teach me your pick-up techniques? Oh, now I understand! In order to keep a woman’s heart, you have to first satisfy a woman’s stomach. Profound! Really, really profound!” Mo Nian gave him a thumbs-up.
“Profound my ass. Wilde’s hungry, and all I’m doing is getting him food. And stop randomly shouting about picking up girls. Do you want to get me killed?” raged Long Chen quietly.
To talk about picking up girls in front of women, it must mean you had gotten tired of living. Long Chen still hadn’t gotten to enjoy all life had to offer, so he definitely didn’t want to be cut down in his prime.
“In a bit, we’ll all be eating together. In a roundabout manner, you can ask them some questions about this area and see how they reply. That’ll be much more effective than anything I can say. If you want to subdue a woman, you’ll first have to find out how a woman thinks. They’re the true teachers,” whispered Long Chen.
“Makes sense.” Mo Nian nodded. After all, men were all outsiders. Asking for help wasn’t necessarily something that would cause him to lose face.
“Remember to keep it more implicit,” warned Long Chen.
“Don’t worry, I understand.” Mo Nian waved his hand, meaning he didn’t need his warning.
It went without saying that the existence ranked third on the beast flame rankings was extremely powerful. Despite how tough the Barbaric Wind Beast’s flesh was, it was still being cooked very quickly.
Furthermore, as an alchemist, Long Chen’s control over flame had reached a pinnacle level. But then again, probably only he would waste his Pill Flame cooking meat.
“Long Chen, ignoring everything else, just your cooking skill has reached the point that few people could resist.” Mo Nian had to continuously swallow his saliva as he looked at that meat cooking.
Although that meat was huge, Long Chen’s control over his Pill Flame was perfect. He wouldn’t burn the meat, and he would also lock all the best flavor inside.
At the same time, he was constantly adding seasoning onto the meat. With his Pill Flame, he brought the flavor of the seasoning deep into the meat. So, the fragrance coming from it was truly something only a few people could resist.
Those four women in the distance also walked back over without saying a word when they smelled it.
Long Chen smiled slightly, pride appearing on his face. When it came to using pill refining arts to cook meat, he trusted there was no one who could stand on the same level as him.
“Let’s eat.” Long Chen took out several plates from his spatial ring. Using a knife, he cut off palm-sized slices. He distributed it so each person had three pieces, and then the remaining meat was all given to Wilde.
“Mmmmh! It’s really good!”
Lu Fang-er couldn’t help but exclaim after just eating a single bite. But then just after her praise, she let out a startled cry.
Long Chen smiled and explained, “This is fifth rank Magical Beast meat, and a great deal of its essence was brought out by my Pill Flame. Such meat is very beneficial to our bodies, but it can’t be eaten too quickly. You should focus on digesting it while eating, and you can’t eat too much, or your body won’t be able to digest it.”
A fifth rank Magical Beast was an existence that had lived for who knew how many years. Its body had absorbed years of pure energy, a great deal of which ended up in its flesh. So, its flesh was a kind of tonic.
Lu Fang-er and the others had weaker bodies, and so they would have to eat this meat slower. Otherwise, the huge amount of energy could cause some problems in their bodies.
“Hehe, that’s even better. We can talk while eating. Long Chen, your cooking skill really is amazing. In the future, I’ll have to properly enjoy it every day,” laughed Lu Fang-er.
The other three women also seemed to be looking forward to that. Although they personally didn’t like meat that much, Long Chen’s cooking skill was just too amazing. The meat he cooked was irresistible.
“Hehe, that’s a small matter. I’ll cook for my beauties any time.” Long Chen laughed along.
The Barbaric Wind Beast’s flesh was all muscle, and common sense would dictate that it would be very tough and hard to eat. But after being cooked by Long Chen’s Pill Flame, it became exceptionally delicate, falling apart the moment it entered their mouths, filling their mouths with flavor.
However, the only drawback was that they had to endure and not gulp it down. Each time, they would only eat a small bite, and only after digesting it would they take a second.
As for Lu Fang-er, her first bite had been too big, and as a result, a huge amount of energy had flooded her body. She needed to digest for a while before she could continue eating. So, now she could only watch as everyone ate.
“This level of meat is terrifying, and each of us can only eat a few pounds. Will Wilde be able to handle eating so much?” worried Meng Qi.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine with his body.” Long Chen smiled slightly. He was the one who understood Wilde the best.
Within the Abyss of Fiends, Long Chen had run into the expert from the barbarian race, giving him a new understanding of Wilde.
The barbarian race had already disappeared in ancient times. But there were still some legends recorded about them.
It was said that this race consumed almost all beasts as food, and their strength was enough to shake heaven and earth. There were none who could compare to them. Without relying on techniques or divine abilities, they used pure brute strength to fight everyone.
In some ancient texts, Long Chen had seen some simple descriptions of the barbarian race. His impression of this race was very deep.
The barbarian race was not at all the same as those barbarian tribes that Long Tianxiao had fought back in Phoenix Cry. Those barbarian tribes were simply called that because they had yet to become civilized and were complete savages.
That barbarian race expert had been extremely confident that Long Chen’s body had contained some of the aura of his barbarian race. If that was true, then Long Chen was sure that it had to be Wilde.
Wilde’s height and character corresponded very well with the descriptions in the ancient texts. Adding on the barbarian race expert’s thoughts, it seemed that it was very likely that Wilde was a descendant of the barbarian race.
However, the barbarian race had already become extinct. Just where had Wilde come from? Why had he been reduced to the point that he had almost starved to death? It was a mystery.
“Wilde is practically a monster. His body’s qi and blood are too shocking, and probably even Chosen are unable to receive a single blow from him.” Mo Nian couldn’t help but sigh.
He could sense a powerful pressure from Wilde. It was as if the person beside him wasn’t a human, but a terrifying Magical Beast.
“Cough, Mo Nian, don’t eat so fast. Try to be more restrained.” Long Chen suddenly coughed, putting special emphasis on the ‘restrained’.
This fellow had become so focused on eating that he had forgotten about what he had wanted to ask. Only when Long Chen reminded him did he remember.
“That’s right, I’ll be reserved. Then, about that. This junior brother has some things he doesn’t understand and
would like to ask you four beauties for advice.” Mo Nian put aside his normal air of arrogance, speaking very humbly towards the four of them.
Seeing how solemn Mo Nian was acting, the four of them were slightly stunned and hastily focused completely on what he wanted to say.
“Although I wouldn’t dare try to act as a teacher, there’s no harm in asking,” said Meng Qi.
Long Chen smiled slightly and nodded. Mo Nian truly was someone born of a powerful family. As soon as he put aside his arrogance, he managed to seem just like one of them. He was doing very well at keeping everything implicit.
With some embarrassment, Mo Nian said, “What I want to know is, how did Long Chen manage to seduce you all?”
Long Chen spat out his mouthful of meat, while Meng Qi and the others all reddened, turning speechless.
“Mo Nian, I’ll go all-out against you!” Long Chen roared and grabbed Mo Nian’s collar, seeming as if he really would attack.
“Brother, brother, don’t get so emotional! Let’s just talk properly,” advised Mo Nian when he saw how furious Long Chen was.
How am I supposed to not get emotional? I wanted to help you, and you decided to entrap me?!
“Implicit! Reserved! Do you know what it means to speak in a roundabout manner?!” raged Long Chen.
“I really don’t know,” said Mo Nian bitterly.
“A person like you really deserves to be bullied.” Panting with rage, Long Chen finally let go of him.
Seeing Meng Qi and the others looking at them with confusion, Mo Nian said, “This junior brother really doesn’t know how to speak in a roundabout manner. Please don’t take offense. In truth, the matter is like this…” Mo Nian hastily explained his circumstances to them. With grief, he concluded, “In a person’s life, who doesn’t have a couple of intimate friends? But my fiancée absolutely refuses to allow me to have any. Just what cruelty is that? But now I see that you’re all so harmonious, so I just want to learn how you did this. I really am sincerely begging for help.”
