Chapter 074: I Love You More Than I Love Myself
"In a month, I will leave this place and head to the Jia Shi Dynasty. It will take about three years before I can return. However, I have offended the Refining Qi Guild, so I would like to ask for your assistance, Senior," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"Putting everything else aside, just for your help in promoting Tang Feng to Divine Craftsman, I will help you once, and it is merely a small favor. Hand me the sword," Tang An replied.
"Senior, this sword has developed consciousness; it would be better if you do not touch it to avoid being backlashed," Yang Chen said as he tossed the Yanhuang Sword in front of Tang An.
"That's true. It is said that a Saint of Combat touched a Bloodthirsty Demon Soldier, which was only at the artifact level, and ultimately suffered backlash. Controlled by the sword spirit, it slaughtered creatures at will. Moreover, your sword is at the Heavenly Artifact level," Tang An remarked as he quietly observed the Yanhuang Blood Sheath. The blood-colored sheath had several Nine-Colored Patterns connecting two Magic Cores, absorbing the spiritual energy from the world. The tail of the sheath was also embedded with a nine-colored Magic Core, with the three components maintaining a delicate balance.
"Yang City Lord, your Formation is truly inscrutable yet so powerful," Tang An sighed.
"I can teach you," Yang Chen said lazily.
"What? You mean you will teach me?" Tang An asked in disbelief.
"Don't you believe me?" Yang Chen replied nonchalantly.
"What do you want me to do?" Tang An asked as he calmed down.
"Become the Lord of Heavenly Craft Manor and be appointed Duke," Yang Chen stated confidently.
"Are you a prince of that nation?" Tang An inquired.
"No."
"Do you have a dynasty?" Tang An asked.
"It won't be long," Yang Chen said confidently.
"Haha," Tang An laughed heartily.
"Don't you believe me? A year ago, I had nothing; I was merely a One Star Fighter. Two months ago, Loulan City did not belong to me," Yang Chen casually stated.
"But I am confident that in ten years, there will be a place for me in the Xuan Zhou Empire!" Yang Chen roared. Of course, others could not hear the conversation among the three.
"You, what you said leaves me speechless. I can't call you arrogant because you have shown me results," Tang An said bitterly.
"In about twenty days, I will teach you these two formations." Yan Huang shouldered the Blood-colored Longsword and walked away as he spoke.
"I haven't agreed to you yet!" Tang An roared.
"You will agree," Yang Chen's voice came from afar.
Tang An heard this and said bitterly, "That's right, I will indeed agree to you." With the Blood-colored Longsword on his back, his long black hair flowed in the wind, looking quite carefree. Yang Chen, disregarding the gazes of others, walked slowly with Luo Xi in his arms.
"Xi'er, what has happened in Loulan City during my two months of seclusion?" Yang Chen asked.
"On the seventh day after your seclusion, we secretly organized people to eliminate those from the Yongbing group who are not part of our Shadow Killers. There were about four thousand of them. By the tenth day, the entire city was filled with members of our Shadow Killers. So we opened the city gates and resumed our previous way of life. Our Shadow Killers now have around forty-five thousand members, including nine captains, just enough for each battalion. The number of hundred leaders is countless; our Shadow Killers are unprecedentedly powerful now. By the way, Elder Eagle couldn't stop some disciples from joining our Yongbing group either; they couldn't be killed, so he could only let it be," Luo Xi said with a laugh.
"Hehe, isn't Elder Eagle quite helpless? By the way, has the Jia Shi Dynasty sent anyone?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Yes, a Seven Stars Demon Emperor came, but unfortunately, he fell at the hands of our fourteen Battle Emperors," Luo Xi replied.
"Killing him is good; it saves trouble when explaining to Brother Chih Long," Yang Chen said.
"By the way, husband, look at what this is." Luo Xi took out a ring from her storage ring.
"Oh? The Demon God Ring? I forgot to take it back after slaying the Blood Lion," Yang Chen said as he took the ring and put it on his left middle finger.
"Husband, this must be a gift from Sister Fu Ling to you," Luo Xi said.
"Mm." Yang Chen nodded.
"Hmph, husband accepted rings from other girls but hasn't given one to Xi'er yet," Luo Xi pouted.
"What a strong sourness," Yang Chen remarked.
"Sourness? Is there?" Luo Xi sniffed hard and looked at Yang Chen. Seeing him smirking mischievously, she suddenly understood: "Not at all! Xi'er is not jealous! Not at all."
"Your little mouth is pouting so high and yet you're not jealous," Yang Chen teased.
"I said I'm not... Mmm." Before Luo Xi could finish her sentence, Yang Chen silenced her with a kiss, marking their reunion after two months apart. With a flash of Demon God energy, Yang Chen took Luo Xi back to the Yongbing Guild and up to her room. Everything that was supposed to happen happened again (what shouldn't happen will not be written). After the clouds cleared and rain stopped, Yang Chen quietly took out a pitch-black mineral and began to carve it gently. In no time, the black mineral took on the shape of a ring.
Yang Chen had not yet stopped, continuing to carve with the power of death and life, inscribing a vow. He stored the powers of life and death within a ring, adding color to the pitch-black ring. The base color was black, gray attached to the inside, and green on the surface. In the center, Yang Chen deliberately carved a heart, infusing it with vital energy, making it shine like a brilliant emerald, dazzling and eye-catching.
Feeling satisfied, Yang Chen took it out and respectfully placed it in front of Luo Xi, saying, "I have prepared this ring for you long ago, and I made it myself. I just haven't had the time to give it to you until now. Can you give me a chance today to put it on for you?"
"Ah." Luo Xi exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." There was no doubt about Master Yang Chen's skill or his aesthetic sense from his previous life.
"I'm glad you like it," Yang Chen said gently.
"There are words on it too? Let me see what they say." Luo Xi looked at the inscription on the inner side of the ring and read aloud: "I love you more than I love myself!"
"Husband, please put it on for me," Luo Xi said.
"Alright, I will put it on for you." Yang Chen took the ring that Luo Xi handed over and caught her right hand, sliding the ring onto her ring finger.
"Xi'er, I love you."
"Husband, I love you too." After saying that, she actively entwined her lips with Yang Chen's, offering her sweet tongue. She was very proactive and pressed against Yang Chen, trying to take control! How could Yang Chen yield? Naturally, he turned over and pinned her beneath him. Several hours later, the two finished and rested.
"Xi'er, within a month, I will leave this place to join the Jia Shi Dynasty in the confrontation with the three Lords. It will be about three years from now," Yang Chen said.
"I know. You have always been working hard for your dreams, so I cannot hold you back. After you leave, I will return to the Heavenly Continent's Yongbing Guild headquarters and strive to become a strong person who can help my husband in the future," Luo Xi said tenderly. "Husband, I haven't told my father about us yet; I can't help you much. But regarding the Yongbing Guild in the City of Slaughter, I will make them obey you. With the influence of the Shadow Kill Pavilion as well, you have every chance to seize control of the City of Slaughter."
