Chapter 080: Return to Silvermoon City
As soon as Yang Chen stepped out of the Yongbing Guild, he was immediately taken aback by the scene before him. From the entrance, the area was filled with people, leaving only a path wide enough for two to walk side by side. The exaggerated banner caught Yang Chen's attention as soon as he exited, and so did Luo Xi's: "Congratulations to Yang Chen and Miss Luo Xi on their successful engagement."
"Leader, what you arranged yesterday has been carried out by your subordinate. Please review!" Jiang Nan stepped forward, parting the crowd to stand in front of Yang Chen. What arrangements did Yang Chen make? Who came up with this idea? However, it was impressive!
"Chen, did you do all this on purpose for me? No wonder you wouldn't let me go out yesterday," Luo Xi said warmly. What is she talking about? I didn't let you go out because time was tight.
"Yes, everything is specially prepared for you. Qier, do you like it?" Yang Chen asked.
"I like it. Thank you," Luo Xi replied shyly.
"I'm glad you like it. One day, I will let the whole world witness our wedding," Yang Chen said firmly.
"Mm." Luo Xi nestled in Yang Chen's arms and said happily.
"Get up now, Jiang Nan, I am very satisfied with this arrangement, ha ha," Yang Chen said while secretly giving a thumbs up.
"Thank you for your praise, Leader. If the Leader is pleased, it is my honor," Jiang Nan replied. At that moment, a girl dressed in a white princess dress, wearing a green floral crown and holding a bouquet of roses—counting closely, there were ninety-nine—approached.
"Brother, these are the roses you wanted; Ling'er brought them to you," the little girl said. She was Zhou Xuan's daughter, Zhou Ling.
"Thank you, Ling'er," Yang Chen said softly as he accepted the ninety-nine roses from her hands.
"It's nothing; it's what Ling'er should do," Zhou Ling smiled and replied.
Yang Chen nodded, then turned to Roxie, suddenly kneeling on one knee and softly said, "Wait for me. I will propose to you as the strongest, and let the whole world witness our love!" After saying that, he handed the rose in his hand to Roxie.
Roxie was stunned as Yang Chen publicly proposed to her in front of the entire city. It wasn't until he finished speaking that she came to her senses. Trembling, she accepted the rose from Yang Chen's hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "I will wait for you. I will definitely wait for you."
With Roxie's support, Yang Chen slowly stood up, gazing into her eyes and softly said, "In my hometown, the number nine represents eternity and everlasting love."
"I know what you want to say; I understand," Roxie replied gently.
"Kiss her." "Kiss her." "Kiss her."
At Eagle Tianyi's call, everyone began to howl like typical excited wolves.
"Xier, look, this is everyone's request; you can't blame me," Yang Chen said mischievously. After that, he leaned closer to Roxie, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he lightly pressed his lips against hers before pulling away.
"Wait for me," Yang Chen whispered.
"Okay."
"Clap clap clap." The crowd burst into applause as Yang Chen held Roxie's hand and slowly walked toward the city gate. What should have taken ten minutes turned into a half-hour journey for the two of them.
At the City Gate, Eagle Tianyi and Li Mu had been waiting for them. Yang Chen gently released Roxie's left hand, clearly feeling her reluctance. He smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's not like I'm not coming back. Wait for me, okay?"
"Okay, I will wait for you." Roxie's eyes were already filled with tears, showing a glimpse of the Demon Emperor's strong demeanor but ultimately revealing the essence of a little girl.
"I'm leaving. In less than three years, I will definitely return," Yang Chen said firmly.
"En." Rosy nodded sadly. Then, Yang Chen turned around decisively, releasing Rosy's left hand and walking away.
"Farewell, Leader." At the city gate, all the members of the Shadow Kill Yongbing group knelt down respectfully. Yang Chen did not look back as he left with Ying Tian Yi, Li Mu, Tian Ci, and Xie Yao.
Not long after leaving Silver Moon City, Ying Tian Yi and Li Mu separated from Yang Chen and the others to head towards Huangshan and Zhou Shui. Yang Chen instructed Li Mu to have Lu Ying find him once he returned to the Zhou Shui camp. After that, only Yang Chen, Xie Yao, and Tian Ci continued on their journey to Silver Moon City.
It is worth mentioning the cultivation levels of the three: Yang Chen was at the peak of Fighting Spirit, Xie Yao was a Six Star Fighting Emperor, and Tian Ci was an Eight-Star Fighting King. Thus, the three powerful beings arrived at Silver Moon City in just one day.
"Leader, ahead is Silver Moon City," Xie Yao pointed to the distant city and said.
"I know, but it seems that due to the three lords' presence, the entire city is on high alert," Yang Chen nodded and replied. Throughout this journey, Tian Ci rarely spoke; he only responded when Yang Chen asked him something.
"Leader, no matter what, we must get inside," Xie Yao said.
"From today onwards, don't call me Leader until we return to the Shadow Kill Yongbing group," Yang Chen stated.
"Why?" Xie Yao questioned.
"There’s no reason. Let’s go," Yang Chen replied lazily. After saying that, he called out to Xiao Tian and Jin Zi who were playing in the distance. (I admit that these two little ones have become mere side characters, but later on, they will prove to be formidable presences.)
At the entrance of Silver Moon City, four soldiers at the Fighting Spirit level blocked Yang Chen and his companions' path and asked, "Who are you? Why have you come to Silver Moon City?" Yang Chen paused for a moment before taking out the emblem of the Crimson Tooth Yongbing group's second vice leader that Xie Yao had once given him from the Demon God Ring and tossed it to one of the soldiers.
"The emblem of the Crimson Tooth Yongbing group's second vice leader?" One soldier looked at Yang Chen warily and asked, "The second vice leader has been missing for several months now, and you only have the cultivation level of peak Fighting Spirit. How could you be the second vice leader?"
"Hmph, Third Brother, don’t waste words with him; it’s obvious he’s a spy sent by the three lords. Let’s kill him first!"
"We are not spies," Xie Yao explained, and after saying that, she took out her own Crimson Tooth emblem from her storage ring and tossed it over.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even look at it and directly pushed it back with a palm, saying, "Miss, what you are wearing on your chest is clearly the emblem of the Shadow Kill Yongbing group. How can you take out the Crimson Tooth Yongbing emblem now?" Xie Yao was slightly taken aback and glanced at the Shadow Kill Yongbing emblem on her chest, secretly blaming herself for being careless.
"Leader, what should we do?" Xie Yao asked.
"I told you, don't call me leader. Just call me by my name."
"Yang Chen."
Yang Chen looked at Tian Ci and said, "What should we do?"
"There are two options. First, with Xie Yao's abilities, we can restrain the four of them and break into the city directly. This way, we can minimize the situation but cannot eliminate it entirely. Second, after ten minutes, a benefactor will come to help us enter Silver Moon City safely," Tian Ci said while counting on his fingers.
"Tian Ci, from now on, you can also call me by my name," Yang Chen said.
"Understood."
"Let's wait quietly for ten minutes," Yang Chen said.
"Okay. I will listen to you," Xie Yao replied.
"Then we will wait here for ten minutes until the Crimson Tooth Yongbing group leads us in. You have no objections, right?" Yang Chen said to the four soldiers.
