Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 278: Offering Myself!

The main reason he asked was because even Feng Ziyuan could not fathom Long Chen’s current Realm.

Long Chen replied, "Senior Feng, after taking the Heaven Reaching Fruit, I advanced three minor realms in a row. I’ve successfully broken through from the Fourth Layer of the War Ancestor Realm to the Seventh Layer of the War Ancestor Realm!"

The reason he could advance so quickly in just a week was largely thanks to the tempering from the Power of Thunder, which had stimulated his latent potential. At the same time, it was also highly effective at guiding the energy within his body. It was because of this that the energy contained within the Heaven Reaching Fruit could be fully unleashed.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise flashed through Feng Ziyuan’s eyes. He stared at Long Chen and said flatly, "Well done."

"With your talent, if you continue to persevere in your cultivation and remain grounded, you will undoubtedly achieve great things in the future."

"Senior Feng flatters me," Long Chen said with a light chuckle. "With my current strength, talking about the future is meaningless."

"It’s good for a young man to be modest..." Feng Ziyuan nodded slightly, but before he could finish, Long Chen continued, "I believe that in the near future, my name will spread throughout the entire God-Devil Domain! By then, I want everyone to tremble in fear at the very sound of my name, Long Chen!"

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes. It was for no other reason than that his father had been captured by the people of this God-Devil Domain. He would search for him with everything he had, even if it meant digging three feet into the earth!

Hearing this, Feng Ziyuan was left speechless, his expression darkening. He glanced at Long Chen, shook his head, and said, "Just pretend I was talking out of my ass."

PFFT! Nearby, Cai Qing couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

For the next while, Long Chen cultivated without pause.

Then one day, Cai Qing rushed over to him, an excited smile on her face. "Big Brother Long, Sister Chu is awake!"

Hearing this, Long Chen immediately halted his cultivation and rushed to Chu Lingjun’s room at top speed. When he arrived, he found her propped up against the headboard.

Seeing Chu Lingjun awake, a long-missed smile appeared on Long Chen’s face. "You’ve finally woken up."

"How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked, approaching her, his voice soft with concern.

At the sight of Long Chen, Chu Lingjun’s dull, lifeless eyes suddenly became clear and vibrant. Instantly, an overwhelming sense of security washed over her, putting her completely at ease.

"I feel fine, just a little weak," she said, shaking her head with a smile. "It’s nothing serious. It’s probably just from lying in bed for so long. I didn’t think I was going to make it. It feels incredible to still be alive."

Before Long Chen could speak, Cai Qing chimed in, "Sister Chu, with Big Brother Long here, you were never in any danger. To get the herbs needed for your treatment, he went to incredible lengths and endured countless hardships."

Hearing this, Chu Lingjun’s heart warmed. She looked at Long Chen and said, "You’ve been through a lot for my sake." Her autumnal eyes were filled with a soft light and deep affection.

Being a woman herself, Cai Qing knew this was not the time or place for her. So, she tactfully left the room, leaving Long Chen and Chu Lingjun some private space. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Don’t say that. You’re making us sound like strangers." Long Chen smiled faintly. "But, if you really want to repay me for saving your life, I suppose that’s not out of the question."

"Then what do you want?" Chu Lingjun looked at him, her expression serious. "As long as it’s something within my power to do, I’ll give it my all."

A playful smile touched Long Chen’s lips. "Oh, don’t worry. You can definitely do it."

"Then tell me," she said.

Long Chen suddenly sat down on the bed beside her.

Chu Lingjun froze, turning her head to glance at him. Their eyes met.

Long Chen leaned forward, slowly closing the distance between them. Instinctively, Chu Lingjun shrank back, raising a hand to his shoulder to stop him.

She thought he would stop there.

But to her surprise, he didn’t. He kept moving closer.

Chu Lingjun could only continue to back away until she hit the headboard. With her back pressed against it, she had nowhere left to retreat.

"Wh-what are you trying to do?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly as her breathing grew ragged.

Long Chen leaned in even closer, until his body was almost pressed against hers. Subconsciously, Chu Lingjun slowly closed her eyes.

But just then, a voice whispered beside her ear, "Why don’t you repay me with yourself?"

Hearing this, Chu Lingjun’s face instantly flushed crimson. When she opened her eyes, she saw Long Chen had already stood up.

Long Chen smiled. "Why are you blushing?"

Seeing his expression, Chu Lingjun’s delicate brows knitted together. "Are you that bored? Is teasing me the only thing you know how to do?"

"It’s not funny!"

With that, she turned over, presenting her back to him.

Long Chen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected her mood to shift so suddenly.

It was just a joke, wasn’t it? Why did she get so angry?
