Chapter 67

In the living room, a woman in a white dress smiled as she looked at Long Chen, who was shocked: "How can you not recognize me after such a short time apart?"

Long Chen never thought that this woman would come to his house; it felt like a dream.

This woman was none other than the girl who had helped him when Qi Shi's brother attacked him on Qixia Mountain.

"Where, where, it's Long Chen who is impolite. I haven't even thanked you for your help last time," Long Chen hurriedly said.

"Don't call me 'Miss' all the time, it sounds so distant. I'm Meng Qi's junior sister, my name is Lu Fang'er. Just call me Sister Fang'er," the woman said with a smile.

"Hehe, then this little brother, Long Chen, greets Sister Fang'er," Long Chen said with a smile, feeling a genuine sense of closeness to this Fang'er.

Seeing her made him feel that he was no longer so far from Meng Qi, and it also meant that his Soul Nourishing Pill had a place to go.

"Hehe, such sweet talk, no wonder you quickly became the idol in the hearts of the young girls of Phoenix Cry Empire," Lu Fang'er extended her hand, and a beautifully illustrated book appeared in it, and she smiled.

Seeing the book, Long Chen felt embarrassed. It was the deluxe edition of "Phoenix Cry War God," which depicted his battle with Huang Shang.

"Cough, cough, those are just gimmicks by merchants to deceive people," Long Chen said with a dry cough.

"But is your affection for the princess and your battle against strong enemies also a gimmick?" Lu Fang'er's beautiful eyes stared at Long Chen, her face showing a hint of teasing.

Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. If this matter reached Meng Qi's ears, it would be disastrous.

"Long Chen, you shouldn't act like this. Sister is like a celestial being; how can you not cherish her affection for you?" Lu Fang'er said with some dissatisfaction.

"Considering our acquaintance, I'll give you a way out. Immediately cut ties with that princess, and I won't tell Sister about this."

Long Chen's face changed when he heard this. Thinking of Chu Yao's warmth towards him, he shook his head and sighed, "Sorry, I can't do that."

Saying this, Long Chen felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles. This was a difficult choice.

Meng Qi's beauty and kindness deeply touched Long Chen's heart, making him experience the taste of love for the first time.

And Chu Yao was willing to sacrifice everything for him. At this moment, he couldn't bear to leave her.

"How can you be so stubborn? You're not satisfied with having my sister, and you're still flirting with others. If you choose her, you'll never see my sister again," Lu Fang'er said angrily.

Long Chen took a deep breath. Facing such complex emotions, he felt deeply helpless. He didn't want to give up either of the two women, but now he had finally reached a fork in the road.

Looking at Long Chen, who remained silent, Lu Fang'er said, "Are you really going to give up my sister for that princess?"

"Not giving up, I won't give up either of them," Long Chen shook his head and said.

"Pfft, you're so shameless, wanting to monopolize both beauties," Lu Fang'er, who had been angry, couldn't help but laugh at Long Chen's boldness.

Long Chen was taken aback; he couldn't quite understand what Lu Fang'er meant.

"Forget it, this is what a real man is like. If you had pretended to me or really given up that fallen princess, you would have really lost my sister," Lu Fang'er said with a smile.

"How can a heartless man win my sister's favor? That was just a small test, and you barely passed it."

A drop of sweat slid down Long Chen's forehead silently. He felt exhausted, preferring to fight a battle rather than face such a test.

"But don't be too happy yet. That test only represents my personal opinion. Whether my sister will make you choose again, only heaven knows," Lu Fang'er said with a light laugh, seeing Long Chen relax.

Long Chen's relaxed mood immediately tightened again because of Lu Fang'er's words. She continued, "But, based on my understanding of my sister, you have a good chance. And with me supporting you, your chances are even better."

"Then I'll trouble Sister Fang'er," Long Chen hurriedly said.

"Hehe, I won't tease you anymore. I came here for a reason. I flew for seven days and nights, and I'm exhausted. You didn't even offer me a cup of tea," Lu Fang'er said with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, I'll get Sister Fang'er a cup of tea right away," Long Chen quickly responded, carefully pouring a cup of tea and offering it to her with both hands.

There was no choice; even the king of hell is easier to deal with than a little devil. For Meng Qi, Long Chen had to flatter her.

Lu Fang'er took the teacup and said with a strange look, "Do you like to use cold water to make tea?"

Long Chen then noticed that the water in the pot was cold, but he still said, "This is iced tea, it needs to be served cold. Sister Fang'er can try it."

"Like I'd believe you," Fang'er said with a scolding tone.

"If Sister Fang'er doesn't like iced tea, I'll make you a hot cup."

"Forget it, your heart is enough. I just feel that the trip back and forth was too exhausting. If I didn't tease you a bit, I'd feel bad."

Long Chen was at a loss, this Fang'er was truly mischievous, but she gave off a sense of innocence and liveliness, making her easy to approach.

From Fenghun Pavilion to here, it was tens of thousands of miles away. Flying for seven days and nights, even with a flying magical beast, Lu Fang'er was still very tired. Teasing Long Chen was understandable.

"Next, I have some good news. Sister asked me to bring you a gift," Lu Fang'er pointed to a small box beside her.

Long Chen then noticed a rectangular box behind Lu Fang'er, about two feet high.

"Snap"

The box was gently opened, and Long Chen was surprised to find a fluffy little creature inside.

It was a little wolf, about two feet long, completely white except for a tuft of fiery red fur on its forehead, looking very cute.

This little guy had just been born, its eyes still closed, and it was arching around, as if looking for food, very endearing.

"Red Flame Snow Wolf?"

Long Chen was greatly surprised. This was the offspring of a magical beast, which he had seen in a magical beast manual, so he was shocked.

The Red Flame Snow Wolf was entirely white, except for a tuft of red fur on its forehead, which looked like a flame, making it very recognizable.

However, most Red Flame Snow Wolves had impure bloodlines, with dull fur, and even some spots.

But this snow wolf pup had no impurities in its fur, indicating that it was an extremely rare pure-blooded Red Flame Snow Wolf.

Typically, a Red Flame Snow Wolf grows to be a third-stage magical beast when it reaches adulthood. But it was said that a pure-blooded Red Flame Snow Wolf could grow to the fourth stage, which was beyond the realm of a muscle transformation expert.

"That's right, this is a pure-blooded Red Flame Snow Wolf, just born. It's a gift from Sister's master to her, but she asked me to bring this little guy to you overnight," Lu Fang'er looked at Long Chen with a complex expression.

Long Chen was deeply moved. Meng Qi not only hadn't forgotten him but also thought of him all the time. The affection of a beauty made Long Chen feel like crying.

"Originally, Sister wanted to make it your pet, but she never expected you to have become a pill master.

"I believe your soul power is not low. I can teach you some beast control techniques, so the Red Flame Snow Wolf can become your battle pet," Lu Fang'er said.

Typically, when martial artists obtain a magical beast's offspring, they would use a beast tamer to subdue the magical beast through force or other means, making it a pet.

However, such pets were not perfect. After all, magical beasts are inherently violent, and there are many cases of pets turning on their masters.

Despite this, magical beast pets were still extremely rare. Although they were dangerous, if used well, they could be a terrifying force.

Unlike pets, battle pets required higher control skills. However, controlling a magical beast required extremely powerful soul power, which ordinary people could not achieve.

By communicating with the magical beast through soul power, it could cooperate with the owner in battle. The two working together would greatly enhance their combat power, which was the strength of a battle pet.

Moreover, the probability of a battle pet betraying its owner was almost zero, but this required long-term communication with the magical beast's soul, which required a lot of time and effort.

Meng Qi didn't know Long Chen's recent situation. Sending the pup was to hope that the Red Flame Snow Wolf could accompany Long Chen's growth and provide him with more security.

But now that Long Chen was already a pill master, Lu Fang'er directly taught him some beast control techniques.

To Lu Fang'er's surprise, Long Chen understood the techniques she taught him at a glance. The questions he asked were all to the point.

However, due to the rules of the sect, Lu Fang'er could only teach Long Chen some publicly known beast control techniques and dared not teach him the sect's internal techniques.

Long Chen's intelligence made Lu Fang'er sincerely convinced. She found that Long Chen was a monster, with an excellent memory and the ability to apply knowledge to new situations, and he even asked her some questions she had never thought of.

After staying at the Long family for half a day, Lu Fang'er saw that Long Chen had fully grasped the techniques she taught him and left the Long family.

Before leaving, Long Chen carefully handed the Soul Nourishing Pill to Lu Fang'er, asking her to definitely give it to Meng Qi.

After Lu Fang'er left, Long Chen looked at the little guy in his arms and felt a warmth in his heart. The Red Flame Snow Wolf proved that Meng Qi had him in her heart.

With Meng Qi's attention, Long Chen felt a surge of ambition. He hoped to resolve everything in the capital as soon as possible and step out of this wilderness to enter a broader sky.

Because he knew that an extraordinary beauty was waiting for him. Thinking of Meng Qi's appearance, Long Chen felt his blood boil, and he wanted to accelerate his rise.

"Whine—"

Suddenly, the little guy in Long Chen's arms made a muffled sound, arching around on him.

Looking at the little guy in his arms, Long Chen's lips curved into a smile. But just as the smile appeared, a faint killing intent came.
