Chapter 80 Warm Fingertips

Beneath the moonlight, Liu Lan was clad in a long, black chiffon dress that faintly revealed her seductive curves. Her sparkling eyes were fixed on Long Chen, eyeing him with a teasing look. Long Chen’s mouth went dry.

He had decided to pretend to be an innocent teenager in front of this lady, so he put on a dazed look and stuttered, “A-administrator Liu.”

When Liu Lan saw his stupid look, she burst into a giggle and asked seductively, “What? Am I not welcome here?”

“It doesn’t seem quite appropriate,” said Long Chen, despite his inner thoughts.

Liu Lan didn’t reply but reached out to push the door open gently. She pushed Long Chen inside, then closed the door with a thud, gazing at him flirtatiously.

Long Chen’s dazed look made her laugh. She casually lay down on a lounge chair and looked at him smilingly, leaving his eyes glued to the curves of her body. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I came here tonight mainly for you to get to know me. Don’t overthink it. I’m only this late because I had to go to the other four people’s rooms.”

Long Chen feigned innocence while secretly eyeing the beautiful, curvy lady. Being an administrator, she must be at the peak of the Earthly Core Realm. Huang Feiyang is so afraid of her; it must be because she’s extremely powerful. I must not be led astray by her looks ...

These thoughts were racing through his mind, but he asked, “May I ask if there’s anything I can help with?”

“I’m just here to get to know you. Also, I wanted to ask if you have any enemies you need help with.”

Long Chen froze.

This was exactly the reason why he had entered the Lingwu family. Seeing as Gan Lin hadn’t mentioned this topic in the orientation, he wasn’t in a hurry to ask. So, Chen Xiongzhou and Feng Mingyang were right after all. The Lingwu family was indeed powerful enough to help a mere outer family member clear off his enemies.

After a moment of hesitation, under her fox-like gaze, Long Chen finally gave his answer. “I do. The Blood Saints.”

When Liu Lan heard the name, she furrowed her brows and shook her head. “How did you become enemies with the Blood Saints?”

Long Chen was secretly overjoyed to hear that she knew of the Blood Saints, though he replied cautiously, “One of the Blood Saints’ Grand Protectors went to Baiyang Town and conspired with the Bai family to destroy my family, the Yang family. I killed that Grand Protector. So, if the Blood Saints discover that I am the killer, the Yang family is done for.”

“Is that why you joined the Lingwu family?” Liu Lan saw through his plan immediately.

He nodded. “Can the Lingwu family help me?”

Long Chen looked at her expectantly, but she suddenly giggled and shook her head. “You’re now a Level Four disciple. Clearing this enemy of yours requires a master at the Earthly Core Realm, which is beyond your rights. Also, your contribution points as well as the Potential Value I gave you aren’t enough for the Lingwu family to clear the Blood Saints for you. So ...”

His face darkened. He was looking at such a beautiful woman, but he could not feel happy. Beyond my rights? And there’s something called a ‘Potential Value?’ I used an intermediate Black-tier combat technique in front of them, and they didn’t give me enough Potential Value to defeat the Blood Saints?

The livelihood of the Yang family was Long Chen’s top priority. He wasn’t strong enough to face them at his current level, so all he could do was ask the Lingwu family for help. But now, it was obvious that he had no power to make the Lingwu family help him.

Liu Lan stood up from the lounge chair and slowly approached Long Chen. A fragrance that could make anyone fall in love wafted over to him. When he looked up, Liu Lan was only half a meter away, the pale curves on her chest right in front of his eyes, close enough to do anything he wanted to her.

A fire lit up within him, but it was immediately put out by a stabbing pain in his ear. Long Chen knew that the consequences of making his madam angry were heavy, so he quickly averted his eyes and didn’t dare look at Liu Lan again.

Liu Lan burst into a chuckle again after seeing Long Chen’s face. Is this a newbie or an actual gentleman? How amusing. But the Lingwu family is brutal and not a place for silly children. I’ll teach you about the brutality of life today ...

She said mildly, “Long Chen, I want the Lingwu family to help you. Let me give you a pointer. Your disciple level, contribution points, and Potential Value are all extremely important. So far, I still can’t see what your potential actually is, so I need to remind you that if you want to be outstanding, you must work hard consistently. The Lingwu family does not need useless trash ...”

Although Liu Lan’s words were cold, he could tell that the Lingwu family was decisive and cold-blooded. Everything here was a trade. Need help from the Lingwu family? Simple, just show them your contribution or potential. If you guys are saying I don’t have enough potential, I’ll show you exactly what my potential is!

Long Chen had always known that it wouldn’t be easy. He was simply not strong enough to have the Lingwu family clear off the Blood Saints for him, but there was a lot of room for improvement. He refused to believe that he couldn’t succeed!

She patted his shoulder and gazed into his eyes. Her voice crawled into his ears like ants. “Long Chen, you must remember one thing in the Lingwu family—core competency. If you prove that you are competent, then money, techniques, herbs, weapons, and even women will all be yours!”

When she mentioned women, Liu Lan blew a fragrance right into his face that stirred Little Long Chen to the core. However, the pain in his ear snapped him out of it immediately.

At this moment, he realized how painful meeting Ling Xi was.

But he noted down her reminder on core competency. “Don’t worry.”

When Liu Lan saw that the newbie didn’t have guts, she lost interest in teasing him. She took a few steps back and combed her long hair. “The Lingwu family has a powerful information network; I’ll help keep an eye on the Blood Saints’ activities. I’ll let you know if I receive any news.”

Although they wouldn’t eliminate the Blood Saints for him, this would be very helpful. He was grateful. “Thank you, Madam Administrator.”

Liu Lan nodded and walked out of the door. Before she left, she turned and smiled at him. “Little Long Chen, you must do your best on your first mission. The Lingwu family will give you a true evaluation based on your performance!”

Ling Xi rushed out of the sword as soon as Liu Lan was gone, glaring angrily at Long Chen with puffed-up cheeks as if she wanted to eat him up.

Long Chen smiled awkwardly. “Uh ... I need to go check out the Nine Heavens Dragon Step ...”

She glared furiously, not saying a word.

He quickly slipped away into the underground room, patting his chest. I only took a few looks at her, and the girl’s already so mad. How scary ...

Seeing that Long Chen had slipped away so quickly, the miniature Ling Xi huffed and landed on the bed that now belonged to her. She looked down, and her furious glare suddenly turned into a lost look as she caressed the sheets. They didn’t feel the same as they used to.

A spirit’s sense of touch was far inferior to what a body could feel.

A huge wave of resentment gushed through her, and she had a sudden urge to cry. She then looked towards Long Chen and mumbled, “Does he still prefer girls with a body ... It makes sense. I can’t even call myself a human in this form, so I can’t give him anything ...”

Clenching her teeth, Ling Xi grieved for a while.

After a long time, she sighed and recalled her recent experiences. “If I remain like this, it doesn’t matter if I live or die. Nothing will happen between me and him. I shouldn’t overthink it. He has his own life; I mustn’t control him. Being able to protect him a few times and remaining by his side is still a nice feeling ...”

Ling Xi looked up at the snow-white ceiling. “Father, Mother, you must protect me. I really wish I could see you two again ...”

If she still had tears, her eyes would well up every time she thought about her parents.

“Xiao Xi, you look grumpy. Thinking about something? A penny for your thoughts?”

Long Chen suddenly appeared next to the bed, leaning on the wall with a grin.

When she saw his mischievous look, her frustration dissipated instantly. She felt like she had embarrassed herself greatly and frantically changed her expression. She glared angrily at him, threatening fiercely, “You bastard! You’re a bad person! I don’t want to talk to you!”

He sat on the edge of the bed and suddenly seemed mature. He held a solemn but gentle expression and reached out, placing a finger gently in front of Ling Xi. He said with full seriousness, “Touch my finger with your finger.”

“What are you doing?”

Ling Xi didn’t know what he was up to, so she eyed him suspiciously. “Just touch it.”

Seeing as he was serious, Ling Xi huffed and reached out her tiny and delicate finger and gently touched his index finger, then quickly retracted it and eyed him cautiously.

She looked adorable, but Long Chen wasn’t laughing. He asked, “Did you feel my body’s warmth?”

His abrupt question made her freeze. She nodded, puzzled.

He smiled and retracted his finger. “I have a wish. I would like to help you get your body back. Just tell me what to do. I would like you to also have this warmth in you.”

These words and the serious look on his face were deeply etched into her mind. She didn’t know what to do, knowing that he must’ve seen her look of despair just now, or he wouldn’t have said this.

Ling Xi was so touched that she wanted to cry.

“Tell me now, don’t waste my time.”

When she saw his fierce glare, she answered hurriedly, “I can recover if I get a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.”

Long Chen was overjoyed to hear that it was possible for her to recover. “Where can we get a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit?”

She shook her head bitterly. “Forget about it. Even if you become the most powerful person in Yuanling City, you still won’t be able to get something like that ...”

Ling Xi had a mysterious identity, so he wasn’t surprised that she needed such a high-level antidote. He fell silent for a while, then gave a small smile. “Ling Xi, I’ll visit the Dawn Trading Alliance tomorrow to get you some soul-nourishing herbs!”
