The cultivation world’s women were all bold and daring. This wasn’t an expression of love. It was an expression of worship, of admiration.
In truth, it wasn’t just women. Even men were the same. This was the cultivation world, and the strong were worshipped.
“Hey, although they said that you can milk the White Snow Spirit Cows as much as you want, we shouldn’t waste such a precious treasure. I’ll thank you for your praise, but let us all toast together to pass the next trial and charge all the way until the end! Thank you!”
Long Chen raised his cup, using the milk as a toast, treating it as thanks to everyone.
All the women drank the milk in their hands. Unlike Long Chen, their gazes all brightened when they drank it, and Heavenly Dao energy flowed around them.
As expected, the Heavenly Daos didn’t care about him. Long Chen sighed inside.
The women scattered, getting more milk. This kind of opportunity only came once in a lifetime. They couldn’t waste it.
As for the men, they couldn’t go milk the cows. They could only receive some more cups from the Skywood Divine Palace’s disciples.
“Long Chen… I wonder if I can offer you a cup as well?” At this time, Shen Bijun, who hadn’t spoken in a long time, came over with two cups, immediately drawing people’s attention.
Di Xin looked over. Anyone could see that he was angry.
“Of course.” Long Chen smiled.
“Thank you.” Shen Bijun handed a cup to Long Chen.
Long Chen shook his head and pointed to her other hand. “I want the other cup.”
Did she think Long Chen was blind? Did she not know he was an alchemist? She had clearly added some kind of powder to that cup. He was enraged inside, but he put on a smile.
Shen Bijun’s expression changed. She sadly said, “Are you afraid I’d hurt you?”
As expected, this woman truly had no sense of shame. She had intentionally come to ruin the new goodwill people felt toward him and had laid another trap.
No one would believe that Shen Bijun would so openly harm Long Chen, but if he didn’t drink it, it would appear heartless. Although he didn’t know what she had added to the milk, he was sure it was something fatal.
“Sorry, but can you let us through?”
Just as Long Chen was considering how he could expose this evil woman’s goal, four nation-toppling beauties walked over. When they appeared, everyone’s gaze focused on them.
Chapter 1637 Not Differentiating Between Male and Female
Those four women were Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, as well as an icy-faced Undying Willow, Liu Ruyan.
Startled cries rang out at the sight of four peerless beauties appearing at once. The entire world seemed to transform into a wonderland because of their presence.
Meng Qi was at the front in a white dress. She gave off a grand and sacred air that made other women feel ashamed of their inferiority.
She was like a goddess who didn’t eat the food of the mortals. It was as though she had accidentally fallen into this mortal world. This sacred air of her was inherent. People almost had an urge to prostrate themselves before her.
With Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, and Liu Ruyan next to her, the four of them offset each other’s beauty, making each other appear even more beautiful. Their four different kinds of beauty had a powerful visual impact.
At this time, the four of them were standing behind Shen Bijun. The speaker who had asked her to get out of the way was Liu Ruyan. Her gaze was icy and filled with hostility.
“They are…” Shen Bijun was startled. The first thing she sensed was Liu Ruyan’s terrifying killing intent.
“They are my wives. Sorry, can you please go? Otherwise, they’ll get jealous.” Long Chen laughed. Meng Qi and them had come at just the right time to relieve him of his current predicament.
When Long Chen’s words fell, the surrounding men all had their eyes redden. Of course, that wasn’t out of excitement, but out of jealousy.
Just the fact that Shen Bijun and the Pill Fairy had been so friendly with Long Chen, with Shen Bijun even openly expressing her affection, had caused them to grow crazily jealous. Now, four heavenly women had come, all of whom were his wives? What the fuck!
Shen Bijun looked at Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, and Liu Ruyan with a hint of envy. The four of them were all more beautiful than she was. In front of these four flowers, she could only be a green leaf.
“Sorry for disturbing you.” Shen Bijun quietly apologized and left with her head lowered.
However, a sharp light flashed in her eyes as she left. She had received an impact from Long Chen and the Pill Fairy, and now these four had completely destroyed her confidence in her looks.
“Should I kill her? She has some killing intent toward us,” said Liu Ruyan to Chu Yao privately.
“Leave her be. This isn’t the right place to fight.” Chu Yao shook her head. Shen Bijun might have concealed her killing intent well, but it hadn’t escaped her senses either.
However, it wasn’t possible to start fighting just because someone felt some killing intent. Chu Yao was essentially half the host of the Pageant right now. Without a justifiable reason, she couldn’t attack a participant.
“Husband, it’s been tough on you. This is the milk I personally squeezed. You wouldn’t decline it, right?”
Meng Qi walked over to Long Chen with a teasing smile. That beauty infatuated Long Chen’s heart. Furthermore, this was Meng Qi’s first time calling him husband, and it made his heart feel like it could burst from emotion.
“Even if it was poison, I would drink it for you.” Long Chen received the cup and drank it in one go.
“Husband, don’t favor just one of us.” Chu Yao also came with a cup of milk.
Long Chen naturally didn’t refuse and drank it as well. Then Tang Wan-er came.
“Husband, I’m not as warm and gentle as my two big sisters. I know I make you angry a lot of the time. Do you no longer like me?” Tang Wan-er walked over cutely.
“How could that be? Both your merits and demerits make up your character. You are you, so why learn from others? There is only one you.” Long Chen smiled.
Although Tang Wan-er sometimes gave him a headache, as if she was a child that wouldn’t grow up, she was pure-hearted. Long Chen still loved her either way as that was just who she was.
“Husband, you really treat me well! Here!” Tang Wan-er happily gave Long Chen a cup.
Long Chen drank it without thinking about it. As a result, he almost spat out the first mouthful. Only now did he find out that this wasn’t milk, but vinegar, and an extremely strong one at that.
His face immediately darkened, and he glared at Tang Wan-er. Meng Qi and Chu Yao turned away, laughing.
“Husband, do you not love me? Why aren’t you drinking it? Do you not want to be with me for eternity?” pouted Tang Wan-er.
Alright, just wait. If I don’t make you grab the bedsheets one day, my son will have your surname.
Long Chen clenched his teeth and drank the cup of vinegar. It was so strong that tears squeezed out of his eyes.
“Husband, why are you crying?” Tang Wan-er intentionally acted like she didn’t understand, taking out a handkerchief to help wipe away his tears.
Long Chen really did want to cry. How had he ended up with such a troublemaker? He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“It’s just emotion. I’m going to be with you forever and will repay you for this ‘favor’. Not even a lifetime of repaying you for this will be enough,” said Long Chen.
“Hus… band. It should be my turn.”
At this moment, Liu Ruyan also went up. Her face was like iron the entire time. She also had a cup.
Seeing that cup, Long Chen raged, “Are you playing with me?”
How was that a cup? It was a barrel that could fit an entire cow. Did she want him to burst from drinking? He didn’t even like the flavor of the milk.
“Didn’t you say you’d
drink it without hesitation? Is your word worth so little?” demanded Liu Ruyan.
“I wasn’t talking about you! You can just count as part of Chu Yao,” raged Long Chen.
“How shameless. Didn’t you just say that we are all your wives? Everyone here heard it. Long Chen, I already looked down on you before, but if you dare to go back against your word now, I’ll have to look down on you even more,” said Liu Ruyan without giving him any room to back out.
The two of them glared at each other. Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and Tang Wan-er were laughing, and no one was going to come to help him.
Their laughter improved Long Chen’s mood. He said, “Fine, count yourself vicious.”
Long Chen hated himself for having said such a thing. He had forgotten about this thorn, Liu Ruyan. If he didn’t drink it, it would be going back on his word and make everyone look down on him.
Well, he didn’t care about others looking down on him, but Liu Ruyan would definitely use it against him for the rest of his life.
In front of everyone’s shocked gazes, Long Chen lifted the barrel and began to drink it. However, after just a few mouthfuls, his expression turned green.
This was no milk. It was sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, containing every flavor beneath the sun.
“It must have been hard on you,” said Long Chen viciously at Liu Ruyan after a few mouthfuls.
Liu Ruyan’s expression didn’t change. She coldly snorted, “This is your punishment for being fickle-hearted. Now you should know what it means to want a taste of all flavors. The only reason they indulge you is because they love you too much. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t feel jealous, uncomfortable, or pained. They keep that pain in their hearts and let you do as you please. Wan-er wasn’t willing to make you drink that much, so I’ll take the place of the bad person. What you’re enduring isn’t one-thousandth of what my master has to feel in her heart. They sacrificed so much for you. Did you ever consider them in your actions?”
Long Chen’s fury was extinguished by a bucket of ice water. He looked at Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and Tang Wan-er with shame.
Which one of them wasn’t a nation-toppling beauty? Any man would be able to live happily ever after to have just one of their hearts.
Liu Ruyan was correct. He was too greedy. He hadn’t put himself in their shoes.
“Well said. I deserve this punishment.” Long Chen nodded and began to drink the five-flavored liquid in the barrel with all his might.
“Ruyan…” Chu Yao spoke up for Long Chen.
“Don’t pamper him. I originally had an even larger barrel prepared for him, but his display this time wasn’t so bad. He wasn’t seduced by that shameless slut. That’s what got him a reduced punishment,” said Liu Ruyan, not giving Chu Yao any chance to plead for mercy for Long Chen.
Shen Bijun’s expression sank. The shameless slut Liu Ruyan was referring to was clearly her. Her gaze became even sharper.
The huge barrel fell to the ground. It was now empty. Long Chen felt like a sea was flowing within his stomach. However, he didn’t use his spiritual yuan to suppress it. This was his punishment.
He had truly been unfaithful, causing Meng Qi and the others to suffer. This little bit of punishment was nothing.
“Big brother Di Xin, my milk has come as well! You have to drink it all for me. It was really hard to squeeze it out.” At this time, Han Feifei, who had been gone for a long time, finally reappeared.
She had a translucent cup in her hand. There was very little milk inside.
Long Chen looked at that cup and immediately felt like he would puke. He forcibly held that feeling back.
“What are you looking at? This is all the best essence, which is why there’s so little. Big brother Di Xin, drink it quickly or a certain someone will get jealous.” Han Feifei glanced disdainfully at Long Chen. She handed the cup over to Di Xin.
Di Xin drank it in one gulp. However, he frowned. When he thought about the flavor, he found that it was a bit strange.
Long Chen finally couldn’t endure it anymore. Everything he had just drunk came vomiting out of his mouth. Long Chen pointed at the cup in Di Xin’s hand.
“You damn woman, you don’t differentiate between male and female. The cow you milked… was a male.”
Chapter 1638 The Pill Fairy’s Attitude
Long Chen’s words caused quite a few others to also feel an itchy sensation in the back of their throats. Their stomachs began to heave.
Everyone looked oddly at Di Xin. Di Xin’s face was ashen, and he was quivering uncontrollably.
Han Feifei was still lost. She said, “Who knows whether it was a male cow or female cow? Either way, I picked the biggest, strongest cow. It took a lot of work to milk it-”
“Shut up!” shouted Di Xin. He could no longer control himself and began to vomit as well.
Han Feifei had been spoiled since childhood and was known for her temper. Although her talent was top tier, and she came from a great background, no one in the Southern Xuan Region liked her.
As a result, when Han Feifei had been busy milking her bull, no one had said anything to her. She was completely unreasonable and could not be spoken to. If they drew her attention due to her mistake, instead of being grateful, she would say that they had offended her.
If Han Feifei’s attendants were still here, perhaps she wouldn’t have done such a thing. However, her attendants only managed to find one flower that they recognized, so she was the only one that had passed. Her attendants were not allowed in here.
Quite a few people felt pity for Di Xin for drinking that ‘milk’. Han Feifei was truly talented at conning people.
After vomiting, Long Chen felt very refreshed. Chu Yao and Meng Qi came over with handkerchiefs, helping him wipe his mouth clean. Tang Wan-er gently patted his back, and Cloud on the other hand was still lost. As for Liu Ruyan, her expression was icy, but she was pleased with her vengeance.
“Long Chen, you definitely did that on purpose!” Once Di Xin finished vomiting, he turned to Long Chen, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“Are you ill? What does this have anything to do with me?” sneered Long Chen.
“Didn’t you already know about it before I even drank it? However, you only said it once I was done! It was clearly intentional!” roared Di Xin.
“Are you trying to find trouble? Warning you would make you owe me a favor. Not warning you was simply playing my role. If you want to fight, then I’ll put it this way: I’ve never been afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting. If no one warned you, you can only blame yourself for not having any friends. Do you know how many people saw her milking her bull but didn’t say anything? Do you not understand why they were all silent? Hmph, rather than first looking at yourself for the reasons, you push the responsibility onto others. Hypocrites like you are the most detestable,” snorted Long Chen.
Long Chen really had done it on purpose. When Di Xin had raised his cup, Long Chen had already lost control of his stomach. However, he had forcibly suppressed his vomit until Di Xin had finished drinking it. By that time, it was too late.
“You’re courting death!” shouted Wang Shan. He could tell that Long Chen was intentionally embarrassing Di Xin. This was his best time to attack. All the resentment and hatred in his heart was released as he attacked Long Chen.
“Scram!”
Long Chen didn’t even have to attack. It was Liu Ruyan who swung a whip composed of hair-like branches. Long Chen had never seen it before, so he supposed it was a divine ability she had learned recently.
The whip was as quick as lightning and easily tore through space. Its power reached its peak in just an instant. It had to be known that in order to unleash all one’s power, there were only two options: to accumulate energy beforehand before attacking, or a kind of layering of power after the attack, like climbing a staircase to increase the power.
If you didn’t do either of those, then instantly unleashing eighty or ninety percent of your power
would end up injuring yourself due to the sudden burst. In the worst-case scenario, your body would explode.
However, Liu Ruyan seemed capable of doing so. It was like her skill had reached a higher level, allowing her to instantly unleash all of her power.
Blood splashed through the air as Wang Shan’s arm was blown apart by Liu Ruyan’s whip. He flew back, crying miserably.
Long Chen was shocked. Fortunately, this was something Liu Ruyan had only learned recently. If she had possessed such a move back in the Spirit World, he wouldn’t have lasted three moves with her.
“Not everyone is as cowardly as Long Chen. If you continue not knowing what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being vicious,” said Liu Ruyan, her whip dancing through the air like it was alive.
“What a terrifying woman.”
Everyone was shocked. Wang Shan was one of the Southern Xuan Region’s top experts. Although it couldn’t be said that he was unrivaled in the Southern Xuan Region, he stood at the peak level of their geniuses. However, he was unable to receive a single attack from Liu Ruyan.
Long Chen was speechless. This was his first time hearing someone evaluate him as a coward. He had simply been waiting for a better opportunity to handle all of these people at once.
Even Di Xin, Shen Bijun, and Han Feifei’s expressions changed. Liu Ruyan’s thunderous blow was too quick to defend against. That whip had no fluctuations of a divine item but was still so terrifying.
What they didn’t know was that Liu Ruyan was an Undying Willow. She had even managed to block the attacks of three divine items back in the battle of the Grand Han. The name Undying was not for nothing.
This whip was manifested through one of her innate divine abilities. It was incredibly powerful, so naturally Wang Shan suffered.
“Everyone, let’s not fight for no reason. This matter has nothing to do with Long Chen. If anyone tries to be a troublemaker, don’t blame my Skywood Divine Palace for making sure things stay calm,” said Chu Yao.
