Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5658 Grow Old Together

The Dragonblood Legion and the Hidden Dragon Legion was finally formally introduced. Just hearing the names of the two legions was enough for them to understand.

The Hidden Dragon warriors had always been very curious about the Dragonblood Legion. They had highly anticipated meeting them. But now that they finally met, they were too nervous to speak. They were all too red to even look at them.

Even the fierce Xiao Yue who killed decisively on the battlefield was now too bashful to look.

However, the Dragonblood warriors were no better off. They had followed Long Chen for many years. How could they not know what Long Chen was thinking?

However, these warriors that climbed mountains of blades and dove into seas of blood were now also nervous. Even Guo Ran didn’t know how to break this awkward scene.

“They’re done for.” Long Chen couldn’t help being speechless upon seeing this.

“Hehe, if their faces were half as thick as yours, they wouldn’t be single,” giggled Tang Wan-er.

“Is that praise?”

Tang Wan-er just giggled and didn’t reply. But they definitely had to shatter this awkward atmosphere, or they wouldn’t be able to mingle.

“This Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is our home. Shouldn’t we show our guests around? Maybe they can use some of the amenities we have,” prompted Long Chen.

Only then did Guo Ran recover. He hastily said, “Fairies, please follow us. We’ll show you around.”

Even Guo Ran’s mouth became stiff at this time. However, as long as it was understandable, it was fine.

The Dragonblood warriors immediately welcomed them. The Hidden Dragon warriors nervously followed them without being able to even look at them.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was enormous, with countless marvelous things inside. There were countless rooms that contained their own minor worlds. They contained countless secrets of the dragon race.

Long Chen knew that the majority of the Dragonblood warriors and Hidden Dragon warriors were all complete novices at love. They needed a shared starting point in order to get along.

The dragon race’s divine abilities were the best starting point. That way they would have something to take about. Perhaps they could even exchange pointers. Once the conversation started going, they would no longer be so nervous around each other.

Some of the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s disciples were oblivious and started joining, but the ones who did see what was happening blocked them. 

“Brothers, you also have free reign to roam the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. This place has the dragon race’s divine abilities, trials you can challenge, and various martial stages. If you are interested, you can also study them,” said Long Chen with a smile.

They were all overjoyed at that. The dragon race had always been a mysterious existence. But Long Chen was sharing their secrets with them. It could be seen that he now viewed them as being one of his people.

Long Chen did not just share the original Jiuli divine runes with them, but also the secrets of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. They were all moved. Compared to their gains, they cherished Long Chen’s trust in them the most.

Long Chen was a peerless figure in their hearts. Such a genius was someone they could only look up to. To gain the trust of someone like that was a supreme honor.

The Dragonblood Legion acted as guides, bringing the Hidden Dragon warriors into the depths of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and explaining how they had beaten the terrifying existences guarding the treasures inside and what kind of divine abilities they had obtained.

The Hidden Dragon warriors did not just learn about the Dragonblood warriors hardships through word of mouth. They could also attempt the trials themselves.

The Dragonblood warriors also personally displayed the divine abilities that they had obtained inside. Conversing with the Hidden Dragon warriors, both sides began to corroborate their own insights. The two sides quickly got closer.

One was a group of hot-blooded men, one was a group of kind and honest women. They had stepped foot onto the path of cultivation to change their fates. They had all experienced pain and great dangers. Their goals were aligned. They had many shared topics of conversation between them. A bond quickly  formed between them.

The hidden Dragon warriors were all nervous at first. They knew that every single one of the Dragonblood warriors was a terrifying powerful expert, one that would cold and aloof in any sect. They were all people who looked down on people like they were lesser than them.

However, after getting to know the Dragonblood warriors, they found that they were a group of passionate and loyal men. They could put down their guard around them. They felt safe in a way that they hadn’t before.

In the past, for their cultivation, the Dragonblood warriors didn’t dare to think about matters of romance. Even though Long Chen had said more than once that as long as it was true love, then that was also one part of the Heavenly Daos, and loving a person could also be considered a kind of cultivation.

However, the Dragonblood warriors had personally seen Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Qingxuan die in front of them. That kind of pain was something that they could never forget. Long Chen’s expression at that time had stabbed them in the heart.

Someone as powerful as Long Chen was unable to protect who he loved. In that case, how could they? If they couldn’t even protect their loved one, they didn’t know if they would have the courage to keep living.

Thus, even after so many years, the Dragonblood warriors were entirely focused on cultivation. They had severed any desire for romance. But today, these pure faces and kind eyes slowly melted that resolve.

“Long Chen!”

Long Chen and Tang Wan-er were sitting together, watching the scenes of the Dragonblood warriors and the Hidden Dragon warriors holding hands that were projected on the wall. Tang Wan-er held Long Chen’s hand and leaned her head against his shoulder softly.

“If only there wasn’t fighting and killing. Then this Ten Thousand Dragon Nest might be the paradise of our dreams.”

Long Chen wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in. He smiled slightly. “As long as the heart contains this, isn’t anywhere paradise?”

Tang Wan-er also smiled. This fellow really knew how to talk.

“I wish we could go back to when we were all together. Can we really all grow old together? Long Chen, suddenly I miss them a lot.”

Tang Wan-er suddenly teared up. She thought of Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Ye Zhiqiu, and the others.

She was no longer the Tang Wan-er that only knew how to be jealous. After experiencing so many trials, she had grown up. Thinking of how her sisters had looked after her and forgiven her, she felt a wave of shame.

She leaned against Long Chen and felt his embrace. But where were the others? Who knew if they were even alive? After thinking of that, she felt like her heart would shatter.

Long Chen also felt a burst of pain. Thinking of how their whereabouts were all unknown, he also felt like his heart was breaking.

“I have to get stronger. I must obtain the Emperor reverse scale.”

Long Chen clenched his teeth. He knew that only by getting stronger could he reunite with everyone sooner. He immediately sent the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest flying towards the direction of the Emperor reverse scale.
