Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 227 I Will Take Responsibility for You!

Long Chen took in the full sight of Chu Lingjun’s beauty in an instant.

GULP!

Even Long Chen, who had seen his fair share of beautiful women, couldn’t help but feel his mouth go dry at the sight of Chu Lingjun’s alluring figure.

This Chu Lingjun is a true natural-born stunner! No man could withstand such a potent impact!

Realizing she was completely exposed before Long Chen, Chu Lingjun’s pretty face turned so red it looked as if it might start to bleed. She quickly grabbed the clothes beside her and wrapped them around her body.

If only I could have gotten dressed before he woke up and pretended nothing had occurred. But to my utter shock, I had also fallen unconscious without realizing it. And Long Chen woke up before me! He saw my entire body! More importantly, he even grabbed my... that spot! How could things be so coincidental?

"I’m, I’m sorry!" Long Chen stammered, hurriedly apologizing. "I didn’t mean it!"

Chu Lingjun glanced at Long Chen, then quickly averted her gaze. "Can... can you put on some clothes first?"

"Ah?" Long Chen was dumbfounded. He looked down and realized he was also stark naked, so he subconsciously grabbed the nearby clothes and wrapped them around himself. In an instant, the cave fell silent. Long Chen was extremely embarrassed, and so was Chu Lingjun.

They each turned around to get dressed, only to find that in their haste, they had grabbed the wrong clothes.

With a flushed face, Chu Lingjun said, "You... turn around and give me my clothes."

"Oh." Long Chen nodded, turned around, and exchanged clothes with her. After both were properly dressed, they breathed a collective sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Long Chen spoke up again. "Um... I’m really sorry. It wasn’t intentional."

"It’s fine. Just pretend nothing happened," Chu Lingjun said, feigning nonchalance. "I don’t care about such things, so why should a grown man like you? You were willing to be bitten by a Silver Wolf Explosion to protect me. It’s nothing for me to sacrifice a little to keep you alive. We’re even!"

"But—" Long Chen tried to say more, but Chu Lingjun immediately cut him off. "Today’s events must remain a secret. If anyone else finds out, I won’t let you off the hook!"

"Understood! I won’t tell anyone," Long Chen said, then added, "I... I can take responsibility for you!"

Hearing this, Chu Lingjun was slightly stunned. She hadn’t expected Long Chen to say such a thing. But I won’t let him take responsibility just like that. If we were bound together simply because of this, it would be rather meaningless.

Having thought this through, Chu Lingjun said to Long Chen directly, "I don’t need you to take responsibility. Don’t overthink things, understand?"

Seeing that Chu Lingjun had made her position clear, Long Chen could only nod and say no more. He wanted to take responsibility, but she had to be willing!

Chu Lingjun looked up at the cave entrance and then said, "The most important thing right now is to heal as quickly as possible and leave. However, my meridians are completely destroyed and my vital energy is severely depleted. I can’t circulate my battle qi at all. Whether or not we can escape this place will depend on you now."

Long Chen glanced around the cave. It was just an empty hole. If they stayed, given their current condition, they wouldn’t last long. The cave opening was a full six meters above them. If they were uninjured, it would be a simple leap. But now, it was a troublesome problem.

"Alright. Just hold on a little longer," Long Chen said firmly. "I will definitely get you out of here!"

With that, Long Chen took out several Elixir Pills from his spatial ring and handed them to Chu Lingjun. "Take these first. They can boost your Spirit and Energy and help you recover vital energy."

Chu Lingjun took the Elixir Pills from his hand and asked curiously, "You know Alchemy? How do you have so many Elixir Pills?"

"A little," Long Chen admitted, "but I didn’t refine these Elixir Pills myself."

Chu Lingjun pressed on, "Then where did you get them?"

Long Chen then briefly told her what had happened at the Nine Demons Mountain.

Chu Lingjun looked at Long Chen with surprise. "You sure are bold."

"How can you catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den?" Long Chen replied with a faint smile. He then sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the battle qi through his body to heal.

Meanwhile, Chu Lingjun watched over him, her gaze fixed on Long Chen. A hint of admiration had appeared in her eyes.

Relying on the energy provided by the Elixir Pills, the two of them remained in the cave for another two days. During that time, Long Chen’s internal injuries recovered somewhat. Chu Lingjun’s condition, however, worsened, and she grew increasingly weak.

Long Chen stopped circulating his battle qi and quickly asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I’m fine," Chu Lingjun said, shaking her head. "Have your injuries recovered at all?"

"They’re a bit better," Long Chen nodded. "We can leave now."

With that, Long Chen went to Chu Lingjun’s side and took her pulse. He frowned slightly. Her pulse was still very weak.

Long Chen looked up at her, his expression resolute. "I will find a way to heal you!"

"Don’t push yourself," Chu Lingjun said with a faint smile. "I know the state of my own injuries better than anyone. My meridians are destroyed and my vital energy is severely depleted. There’s almost no hope of recovery."

"It’s not over until it’s over. No one can say for sure," Long Chen insisted. Then he lifted Chu Lingjun into his arms. "Let’s get out of here first."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Long Chen leaped into the air, swiftly exiting the snow cave with her in his arms.

The moment they emerged, they heard the roars of Silver Wolf Explosions. Several pairs of fierce eyes immediately locked onto them and began to close in.

Seeing that the Silver Wolf Explosions were still standing guard, Long Chen’s eyes narrowed, a chill emanating from his gaze. "Courting death!"
