Chapter 1196 - 574: Not Bad!
Chapter 1196: Chapter 574: Not Bad!
"Yes!"
Meng Feng nodded respectfully, being the only one who truly knew the real power of the clone present.
The land of bones is treacherous, so it’s best to hold onto a strong ally.
...
At this moment, Chen Xuan and his group had already been flying on the Dragon Scale Boat for a day.
Standing at the bow with his hands behind his back, he gazed below, mountains flashing past his eyes.
"It should take another two or three days!"
He calculated.
Back then, using his divine speed technique, it took him several days, which shows how fast this Dragon Scale Boat flies.
"Tap tap tap..."
Just then, a light sound of footsteps came from behind.
Chen Xuan turned around to see Qin Ying and Lin Xi approaching.
"What’s she doing here?"
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Qin Ying spoke softly, "Miss Lin Xi found the room too stuffy, so she came out to take a walk and didn’t expect to see you here."
"Stuffy?"
Chen Xuan thought it was nonsense, but still smiled, "Greetings, Empress!"
"I’ve long heard that the Empress is the greatest talent of the Central Continent, and today I finally get to see her."
"We’ve met before!"
Lin Xi’s words left Chen Xuan surprised, "Met before?"
"That day you hurried past on the Imperial City Street, though I couldn’t see clearly, your aura was unmistakable."
"The street..."
"Oh... so that’s it!"
Chen Xuan finally remembered, that day the Hall Master asked him to visit the Star Hall.
"Seems like there is some fate after all."
"Indeed!"
"Having a genius like you in the Eastern Continent is indeed rare!"
Lin Xi praised him, then left on her own.
"Uh—" Chen Xuan was dumbfounded and looked at Qin Ying, "Was she here just to praise me?"
Qin Ying looked helpless, "I have no idea!"
Their relationship was limited to a few conversations, and for this day in the room on the fifth floor, they barely spoke more than a handful.
She was also curious earlier, wanting to go out for a breath of fresh air.
Turns out, the purpose was to see Chen Xuan.
"You do have some charm!"
Qin Ying teased.
Not a hint of jealousy in her heart, instead feeling it was only right; her man ought to be like this!
But in an instant, the smile vanished, replaced by deep concern.
"What’s wrong?"
Chen Xuan asked, holding her hand.
"Lin Xi said those three are very strong and have long joined forces. This time, Great Yu is bound to be at the bottom, by then..."
Great Yu would be divided among the three families.
As the Princess of Great Yu and successor to Emperor Qin, of course she was worried.
"Don’t pressure yourself so much."
"When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out! Besides, even if it comes to that, it’s not your fault!"
Facing the three continents, and the Eastern Continent being the weakest, there was never much chance; what could a woman do?
But...
Then he held her cheeks with both hands, "I will do everything I can to help you!"
This was entirely for Qin Ying, having nothing to do with Great Yu.
Even though he promised Emperor Yu back then, if it was too much, he would choose self-preservation.
"I know!"
Qin Ying leaned into his embrace, "But I want you safe, so..."
She looked up at Chen Xuan, eyes full of affection, "Even if Great Yu loses, as long as you’re safe, don’t act on impulse!"
After all, it’s a woman’s heart!
Between Great Yu and Chen Xuan, she still chose Chen Xuan.
She could die for Great Yu, but not Chen Xuan!
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!"
Chen Xuan held her again, "No matter the outcome, I’ll get you all safely out of the land of bones."
This was his bottom line!
If he couldn’t even do that, he’d be unworthy of being a man!
"Papa, Aunt Qin!"
At this moment, Xiaoqi ran over, "It’s time to eat!"
"Let’s go!"
"Mm!"
Hand in hand, they went to the first floor.
The first floor had only one room, but it was big enough, which is why Chen Xuan chose it.
"Come, sit!"
Zhan Tian pointed opposite him, "Today, have a good drink with this old man!"
"Wow, not bad!"
Chen Xuan looked at the table full of dishes and asked, "Who prepared this?"
He and Qin Ying sat down successively.
"This kid!"
Zhan Tian pointed to Qin Ke.
"I heard it would take several days, so I prepared some!"
"Not bad!"
Chen Xuan nodded appreciatively, Qin Ke always thought of everything, never letting him down.
"You all sit as well!"
The table was big enough to accommodate them all!
"Then I won’t hold back."
Ye Jinhong was the first to sit, knowing Chen Xuan’s nature, he wouldn’t indulge in formalities.
Seeing him do so, others followed suit.
"Bamboo Garden Sister, have this, it’s delicious!"
Xiaoqi first offered a piece of fish to Bamboo Garden.
Qin Ying watched this scene and then glanced at Chen Xuan, her eyes smiling.
"When did those two get together?"
"How would I know!"
They communicated in whispers.
"But it’s nice, Bamboo Garden is beautiful with great talent, my status will be elevated in the future!"
That’s what she found amusing.
Bamboo Garden was once the top talent in the Imperial City, unmatched even by her, the princess.
Having her as a junior now felt much more comfortable.
"You’re really..."
Chen Xuan was helpless.
"Come, have a drink!"
Qin Ying stood up and poured wine for Zhan Tian, then filled Chen Xuan’s cup as well.
"Hahaha... Great Yu’s Princess personally pouring wine for this old man, even Liu Sheng might not get this treatment!"
Zhan Tian laughed heartily.
"Drink up, old man!"
Chen Xuan raised his glass.
"Drink! Let’s drink well today, no using Spiritual Power, let’s see who falls first!"
The two downed their drinks in one go!
The old and the young, glass after glass, unable to use Spiritual Power, and with Qin Ke knowing Chen Xuan’s taste, he prepared strong spirits, leaving them both blushing like monkeys’ backsides.
"I’ll drink you to death today, you little brat!"
The tipsy Zhan Tian slammed the table, if he can’t fight, he’ll drink him down!
