this concession shocked everyone, including long chen. this was admitting defeat! not only would they lose their woman, but they would also lose all their faces.

“grandfather!” huo wufang was extremely unwilling.

“it’s just a woman. if you want to play, you have to be able to accept losing. furthermore, with your status, what woman couldn’t you get?”

huo changsheng turned to long chen. “this time, my huo family admits defeat. but this game still isn’t over. the final winner is something we’ll only know in the future. as for you, you’re just a chess piece. when you run out of use, hehe, i want to see just what you’ll do.”

after saying that, huo changsheng didn’t give long chen any chance to reply. he directly bowed to the tower ancestor and led his people away.

...

bang!

a delicate jade chessboard was viciously thrown to the ground, shattering into pieces. it was like the destruction of this chessboard could relieve some of huo wufang’s anger.

“grandfather, why did you have me admit defeat?! i’m confident in being able to kill long san!” raged huo wufang.

“you’re looking down on long san too much. he’s extremely strong. if you were to fight now, you’d only have a fifty percent chance of winning. for a woman, you would expose your strength? it’s extremely unworthy. right now, this game of chess has only been half-played.

“the fang family has managed to obtain a strong piece, and the situation seems favorable to them for now. but that doesn’t mean that they have any chance of winning.

“furthermore, your bones haven’t completely adapted to you. you still need more time. when they’re perfectly adapted, won’t you be able to exterminate long san with a wave of your hand?

“the most important thing for you is to focus on the finals. if you can take first place, hmph, then the fang and chai families will all die without a burial ground,” said huo changsheng.

huo wufang said, “but that long san is extremely strange. his alchemy arts are too profound to see through. if i killed him today, wouldn’t first place be in my pocket?”

huo changsheng shook his head. “you’re thinking too simply. even assuming you could defeat him, the tower ancestor wouldn’t have let you kill him.”

huo wufang said, “what cultivation base does the tower ancestor have for you to be this deferential to him?”

huo changsheng sighed, “originally, i thought that the person in charge of the pill emperor competition would be the tower administrator. i never expected a tower ancestor to personally come. the reason i have to be deferential toward him is both because of his supreme authority as well as the fact that he is an ancestor-level expert.”

“ancestor-level? what realm is that?” asked huo wufang.

“the ancestor level is just a nickname, referring to the leaders and ancestors of the top sects. their actual realm is above sea expansion, and is called foundation forging. foundation forging experts are peak existences in the eastern wasteland. such experts only exist within the supreme sects.

“but such figures are so powerful that we rarely come into contact with them. let alone foundation forging experts, i’ve rarely even seen any half-step foundation forging experts,“ said huo changsheng.

“haha, beauty hua, we meet again,” he laughed. long chen had always owed hua biluo a debt.

although hua biluo had originally chosen to stay neutral in the final battle of the jiuli secret realm due to huo wufang’s threat, she had still firmly stood by long chen’s side when the corrupt path had joined in.

long chen had been in a desperate situation back then. for her to have helped him at that time was not just because of their cooperation. it involved the trust between them.

“long chen, you really are a demon.” hua biluo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. it was like it was fated that wherever long chen went, pandemonium would follow. he always did things out of people’s expectations.

“hehe, why stay bored? it’s much more fun for everyone to laugh and celebrate together.” long chen laughed and had hua biluo sit, handing her a cup of tea. “here, taste some of this five flavor mythic pine tea. hehe, this is something special to the pill tower, and outsiders can’t even buy it.”

hua biluo smiled and received the tea. lightly sipping it, a burst of fragrance enveloped her. just a sip of this could completely refresh a person’s mind.

“it seems you have it very good here. are you planning on changing professions?” hua biluo smiled.

“why would i change professions? alchemy is just a side hobby. it was the huo family who attacked me first. all i’m doing is striking back. hehe, i’m not doing too bad. in this first round, i managed to win such a beautiful wife,” teased long chen.

hua biluo reddened and rebuked, “if you tease me like this, it’d be strange if tang wan-er didn’t beat you into a pancake when she finds out.”

“her? tch, you underestimate her.” long chen shook his head.

“what? she won’t beat you?” asked hua biluo.

“i said you underestimated her. i was referring to how you said she’d beat me into a pancake. you just don’t understand her. when she beats up people, she never cares about the shape,” sighed long chen. a helpless expression appeared on his face. it had been a long time since he had bullied that fiery girl. who knew how much she missed him right now?

hua biluo covered her mouth and laughed. “hahaha, you are really entertaining. no wonder all those peerless beauties are so devoted to you.”

long chen shamelessly said, “but of course. isn’t that why i previously said that if you go with me, you’ll wake up every morning from laughter?”

hua biluo blushed. she recalled her acting with him. thinking of her intimate actions, she couldn’t help being embarrassed.

seeing that hua biluo wasn’t used to this kind of teasing, long chen changed the subject. “what are your plans now?”

hua biluo sighed sadly. “what can i do? my family has already abandoned me. they clearly knew what kind of person huo wufang was, but to curry favor, they still gave me away.”

her voice might be calm, but her eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. recalling those apathetic faces, she was filled with endless hate.

long chen asked some simple questions about her situation. she was truly in a pitiful state. she had no one to rely on.

he hesitated for a moment. in the end, he made his determination. “hua biluo, if i could let you become a celestial, what would you do?”

“what?”
