Chapter 5 - Yang Lingqing
Three days later, Long Chen stood before a two-meter-tall boulder.
To his left was a forest, and to his right was a large river. Similar boulders dotted the riverbank.
Long Chen took a deep breath. A surge of Qi burst through his body, and he charged towards the boulder like a cannonball. He made a powerful cry as his fist struck the boulder like a meteor!
Boom!
The powerful blast pulverized the boulder, sending shards of rock flying back. More than half of the pieces fell into the water, sending splashes to the sky.
“A body like the stars, a fist like an asteroid, as heavy as a mountain, as quick as lightning ... The Meteor Fist must be both quick and heavy to unleash power at this scale. I’m only at the Second Draconic Stage, so I still can’t unleash the true potential of the Meteor Fist ... but ...” Long Chen’s gaze turned cold. “If I ever meet Chen Liu again, I can kill him in one strike!”
“I, Long Chen, mastered the Meteor Fist in just three days. If word gets out, I’m sure they’ll all be shocked.”
Long Chen walked to the riverbank and washed his face. Looking at his reflection in the water, he mused, “My body has gotten much fitter after cultivating like a madman these few days. I’m tanner too! But I’m still as handsome as before, I’m so going to get many girls with this body.”
He grinned as he thought about it.
A gust of wind blew suddenly behind Long Chen, catching him off guard. He quickly dropped face down to the ground and bent one knee backwards in a kick. To his surprise, he felt something soft when he kicked. There was a shout, then what looked like a person flew over his head, falling into the river.
Long Chen stood up and realized that the person who’d snuck up on him was a teenage girl. She didn’t look weak either; it was only due to her carelessness that he kicked her into the river.
Furious, she leapt from the river to the bank, pouting as she glared at Long Chen with her bright eyes. She looked like she was about to swallow Long Chen whole. Emerging from n0v@lbin☆, this material harbors clandestine details.
The girl looked like she was of similar age. She was pretty, with sparkling eyes and white teeth, her skin as clear as jade. Clad in a long, pale green dress, she was a beauty through and through. Long Chen froze for a second, for he had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life.
The girl was drenched. All her clothes stuck to her body, revealing her fair skin and curves. Long Chen could even see a small puppy embroidered on her innermost camisole. She noticed something was wrong from his gaze, and cursed furiously, “Pervert!”
Qi exploded from her body and a blast of heat sent Long Chen a few steps back. The drenched clothing was dry in a second as the girl seethed with hatred. She clenched her teeth. “Were... were you looking at something?”
Long Chen hurriedly denied, “No, miss, I didn’t see anything...”
The girl was about to forgive him because he looked sincere, but when she thought of the incident again, she raged, “What the hell, Yang Chen! I just wanted to scare you. How dare you push your elder sister into the river? You asshole!”
Elder sister?
But Long Chen didn’t recognize her. “Who are you?”
The girl was annoyed to hear such a question and scolded, “You brat, you don’t even recognize me? I’m Yang Lingqing, your second uncle Yang Yuntian’s second daughter.”
“Ah, it’s you ...”
Long Chen suddenly recalled who she was. They were supposed to have a karmic tie because they were born on the exact same date. Long Chen had been born at the Chen hour, which was why his name was Long Chen. [1]
Yang Lingqing usually hid at home so Long Chen didn’t see her much and naturally had forgotten about her. He thought of their birthtimes and grinned. “Hey, you want me to call you elder sister? Although we were born on the same day, I was born at the Chen hour, and you at the You hour. [2] You should call me ‘Elder Brother ...’”
Ignoring Yang Lingqing’s rage, he went straight into the forest to look for a rock to sit on.
“You bastard, don’t move!”
When he was about to step in, a group of people walked out, chatting happily. He looked up, for he was directly in their way. The group saw him immediately.
The beautiful lady leading them was Yang Xueqing, Long Chen’s mother.
Behind her was a pretty young lady, Yang Lingyue, the cultivator who had attained the Sixth Draconic Stage according to Yang Lingqing. She was eighteen this year, and she was also the daughter of the Yang family head, Yang Qingxuan. Qingxuan was Yang Xueqing’s eldest brother.
Yang Qingxuan was the eldest son of the patriarch and currently in charge of all daily affairs in the Yang family. The second son, Yang Yuntian, was in charge of the family businesses. Finally, the third child, Yang Xueqing, was in charge of training the Yang children in cultivation.
The eldest children of the patriarch’s eldest son, Yang Qingxuan, were a boy and a girl, Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue. Yang Wu was the eldest among the Yang family’s younger generation, while Yang Lingyue was the girl standing before Long Chen.
The eldest children of the patriarch’s second son, Yang Yuntian, were also a boy and a girl. One was Yang Zhan, Long Chen’s archnemesis, and the other was Yang Lingqing, the girl Long Chen had encountered earlier.
Yang Xueqing was the only master cultivator among the women in the older generation. As the person responsible for training Lingyue, she treated Lingyue as her own daughter.
Walking next to the two females were two males.
At the front of the group, a handsome, middle-aged man with a beard chatted happily away with Yang Xueqing. He was clad in snow-white robes and had an aristocratic appearance. Behind him was a young man with a gaze as sharp as lightning. He was muscular and radiated power, and he somewhat resembled the man in front.
They had to both be father and son.
When Yang Xueqing saw Long Chen standing before her, she froze for a second, then smiled at the middle-aged man. “Brother Bai, I wanted to bring you to our beautiful lotus pond but it’s late ...”
“It’s alright, Sister Qing. We’re both in Baiyang Town, so we’re sure to meet again. If I have time, I’ll definitely come again. The Yang Residence’s lotus pond is famed for its beauty after all ...”
Both of them chatted happily as they walked past Long Chen, accompanied by a few guards.
Only Yang Lingyue turned to look coldly at Long Chen before speaking to the young man next to her. She giggled occasionally.
“That’s great. They completely ignored me as if I were just air.”
Long Chen clenched his fist tightly. “My father just died and you’re flirting around already? Forget about my father’s reputation. I’ll never let you marry someone like Bai Zhanxiong, knowing what I know about him! Even though you treat me so unkindly, I am not without a heart. My flesh came from you after all ...”
“Bai Zhanxiong looks like a gentleman, but he’s bad to the bone. He’s the reason for the deaths of a few girls at Jade Palace Brothel last time...”
Long Chen recalled an incident when he saw the middle-aged man chatting happily with Yang Xueqing. He was once great friends with a few girls from the Jade Palace Brothel who were only performers and did not sleep with their clients. However, Bai Zhanxiong had secretly trafficked them. If Long Chen hadn’t seen it by accident, there would be no witnesses.
From that day, he was certain that Bai Zhongxiong was a monster. “Since Bai Zhanxiong was with you, you decided to completely ignore my existence. But I refuse to accept this. The more you want me to disappear, the more I will dance before your very eyes. I know you think my father and I are equally useless, but I will only become stronger!
“There will come a day when I stand before you, and you won’t even dare meet my eyes. You might even repent on your knees! You’re my mother, yet you’ve never done anything a mother should have! I hate you! But I still cannot ignore you like you ignore me!”
When the group walked past him, Long Chen lowered his head. He clenched his fists, digging his nails into flesh. Blood flowed.
A tsunami surged through his body.
There was a beast in his heart, and it roared at the skies.
Long Chen returned to his quarters, washed up, and prepared to cultivate.
He suddenly noticed a paper note pressed under his tea tray on the table. As he read it, his face contorted in rage.
The note said: If you still want Huang alive, come get him at the Sunset Hotel, Room Peony One. Don’t make me wait.
