Immortal Travel of Longevity

Stopped by Zhao Yuqing, Long Rong departed.

She looked somewhat desolate as she walked away. Despite her resignation to fate, she glanced back at him before leaving and said, "Zhao Yuqing, I will certainly repay this favor in the future."

With those words, she was gone.

Chen Changsheng did not give chase. Zhao Yuqing stood right in front of him, and there was no way past. The man before him was determined to stop him, entirely unlike before, when he had held back.

Chen Changsheng turned to look at Zhao Yuqing. He remained silent for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh.

Zhao Yuqing stood there for half a shichen.

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Changsheng finally asked, "If we meet her again, and this Chen slays her for the evil deeds she goes on to commit—what will you do?"

Zhao Yuqing looked back and simply said, "I won't interfere."

Chen Changsheng nodded, watching Zhao Yuqing walk away.

Muttering this, he looked back at Chen Changsheng.

Zhao Yuqing left in disappointment once again. He knew by now that whenever he encountered Chen Changsheng, he would never walk away satisfied.

This man who cared only for reason was utterly devoid of human sentiment.

They were strangers to begin with, so how could they possibly walk the same path?

After Zhao Yuqing left, Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The Listening Rain Sword was sheathed at his side.

Chen Changsheng found an empty patch of ground and sat down.

He touched the bruise on his face.

Speaking of which, this was somewhat of a novelty.

It had been a long time since he, Chen Changsheng, had been beaten up like this.

"He really didn't hold back."

Chen Changsheng let out a breath. Even though he had just been beaten, a faint smile inadvertently crept onto the corners of his mouth.

Most likely, these muddled affairs simply amused him.

However, other matters still left him worried.

That Long Rong was by no means a simple character.

The most troubling detail of all was the dense demonic qi wreathing her body.

She hadn't just fallen into the demonic path; there was a powerful expert of the demonic path supporting her from the shadows. That was where her endless supply of demonic qi came from.

Although someone who walked the demonic path wasn't inherently evil, for a demon with a history like Long Rong's, that demonic qi would only tempt her down an even more extreme road.

Widespread death and suffering were likely inevitable.

But it didn't matter.

"She must brave the waters eventually..."

Chen Changsheng pursed his lips. He was somewhat worried, however—worried that he might not survive until then.

His Soul Fire was already flickering, on the verge of going out.

He might only have a few days left.

...

After the heavenly tribulation passed, the wind and rain dispersed.

Yingshan District was closest to the heavenly tribulation, so naturally, it suffered the heaviest losses.

Many houses had been blown down by the fierce winds, and reconstruction efforts were already underway. The streets were in chaos with debris scattered everywhere, and numerous uprooted trees had to be cleared away one by one.

Protected by a cat and a fish, the Song Family inn suffered basically no damage. This was already a great stroke of luck.

But there was one exception: Song Bao.

That day, Song Bao had wandered into the site of the heavenly tribulation. Although Chen Changsheng had protected her, the deafening thunder had left her completely unable to hear anything around her.

When Yunxiang brought her back, Song Bao was mentally shaken, looking around in fear.

Father Song and Mother Song were in a panic.

"You wretched girl! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Mother Song scolded her for a good while, but Song Bao could only stare blankly. She simply couldn't hear a thing.

Father Song and Mother Song hurriedly went to fetch Physician Lin.

Physician Lin came over to examine her condition. After checking for a long time, he only shook his head and sighed, saying he was powerless to help.

"Then won't my Bao'er be deaf from now on..." Mother Song said, her lips trembling.

Physician Lin paused before saying, "That is not necessarily true. My medical skills are lacking, so I cannot cure her, but someone with better medical expertise might have a way."

Father Song and Mother Song wore worried expressions.

As night was about to fall, Chen Changsheng returned.

Miss Yun breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she saw the dark bruises on his face, she froze. "Who hit you?"

Chen Changsheng offered a helpless smile. "I slipped and fell."

Miss Yun raised an eyebrow at him, pushed past him, and headed straight upstairs.

Miss Yun was angry.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng blanked for a moment before hurriedly chasing after her.

"Miss Yun, Miss Yun..."

He ran up the stairs after her.

Yunxiang entered her room and immediately shut the door.

Chen Changsheng knocked. "Miss Yun, open the door, Miss Yun."

Yunxiang didn't say a word, just sitting in her room and sulking.

Hearing the commotion, Lihua walked out of its room.

Turning its head, the cat saw Chen Changsheng standing awkwardly at the door.

"Meow?" Lihua blinked, thoroughly confused.

Seeing the cat, Chen Changsheng scooped it up into his arms and said, "Miss Yun is angry. Lihua, go in and help me coax her."

Lihua stared blankly before asking, "Lihua didn't make her angry. Lihua isn't going."

"Sigh..." Chen Changsheng sighed softly, feeling a bit troubled.

Just as he was pondering what to do, the door in front of him swung open.

Yunxiang stood in the doorway. She glanced at Chen Changsheng and said, "Mister, come in."

Chen Changsheng snapped back to reality, let out a light cough, and stepped inside.

Lihua blinked and asked, "Do you still want me to coax her?"

"It has nothing to do with you anymore."

With that, Chen Changsheng tossed Lihua aside.

Lihua froze for a second, suddenly feeling the urge to curse someone out.

Once inside the room.

Chen Changsheng took a seat on a chair.

Yunxiang sat on the bed, looking at him.

The two simply stared at each other in silence.

Chen Changsheng said, "I only said that so you wouldn't worry."

Yunxiang said somewhat angrily, "Mister sure knows how to make excuses. I have never heard of an Immortal tripping on the road and bruising their own face."

Chen Changsheng said, "When did this Chen ever become an Immortal? I am just a mortal."

"Right, Mister is a mortal."

Yunxiang nodded. "Mister has a mortal body of flesh and blood. You also feel pain, and you also get hurt. Since that is the case, why must Mister always take the lead and charge to the very front of everything? Does Mister not know what kind of thunder tribulation the Zixiao Heavenly Tribulation is? If you had died there, what then?"

Admonished like this, Chen Changsheng felt a bit embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and said, "This Chen naturally had confidence in his chances."

"If Mister was so confident, then how did someone beat your face up like this?"

"..."

Chen Changsheng said, "That was an accident."

Yunxiang rolled her eyes at him. "Well, you are still alive and well anyway, so it doesn't matter. If Mister has nothing else to say, then you can leave. I want to rest."

Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "You're kicking me out just like that?"

Yunxiang glanced at him. "Why would Mister stay here?"

Chen Changsheng hesitated to voice his thoughts. He opened his mouth, but only managed to say, "I was wrong."

"What?" Yunxiang was stunned.

Chen Changsheng's expression stiffened, and he looked awkwardly flustered.

Seeing Chen Changsheng's appearance, Yunxiang couldn't help but burst into a soft laugh.

To actually make Chen Changsheng admit he was wrong.

Just how difficult a feat that must be.
