Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 279: Like a Log!

"I—"

Just as Long Chen was about to speak, Chu Lingjun cut him off coldly. "That’s enough. Get out, I need to rest!"

Seeing Chu Lingjun looking so downcast, Long Chen could only sigh. "Don’t be angry. It was just a little joke. How would I dare ask you to promise yourself to me? If I offended you, please don’t take it to heart. I apologize, alright?"

Chu Lingjun completely rejected his apology. "Hurry and get out! Don’t disturb my rest!"

Long Chen instantly felt a headache coming on. He had no idea what to do. He was fine with fighting enemies on the battlefield, but he had no confidence when it came to dealing with women.

Besides, I only made a small joke. Is there really a need to take it so seriously? His mind was full of questions, and he couldn’t figure out where things had gone wrong.

Seeing Long Chen still standing there stunned and saying nothing, Chu Lingjun grew even more irritated. She snapped again, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and get out."

"If you need anything, remember to call me," Long Chen said before turning and leaving the room.

"Long Chen! You’re such a blockhead!" Chu Lingjun huffed coldly. To think she had been secretly hoping he would actually do something to her.

As Long Chen walked out of the room, he suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

Who’s cursing me? He frowned, instinctively glancing back at the room.

"Big Brother Long, why are you out so soon?" Just then, Cai Qing came to his side and asked.

"What else could I do?" Long Chen gave a wry smile. "She just woke up and probably isn’t in the best mood. I’ll have to trouble you to help take care of her."

Hearing this, Cai Qing immediately understood and couldn’t help but smile.

Puzzled, Long Chen looked at her. "What are you laughing at?"

Cai Qing inquired, "Big Brother Long, you didn’t make Sister Chu angry, did you?"

Long Chen coughed lightly a few times.

"I can tell just by looking at you," Cai Qing said, chuckling behind her hand. "Why don’t you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you analyze the situation."

Long Chen hesitated. Seeing this, Cai Qing smiled and shook her head. "Fine. If you don’t want to talk about it, Big Brother Long, I won’t insist. But even if you don’t say anything, I think I can guess what it’s about."

Long Chen frowned slightly. "Hm?"

Cai Qing got straight to the point. "In the end, it’s just about the feelings between a man and a woman, isn’t it? That’s something I understand."

Hearing this, Long Chen immediately retorted, "You’re thinking about it all wrong. My relationship with her is..."

He trailed off. His relationship with Chu Lingjun... Fellow sect members? Friends? Companions in life and death? Or...?

Cai Qing scoffed. "See, Big Brother Long? You can’t even answer it yourself." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After hesitating for a moment, Long Chen replied, "Our relationship is... perhaps more like friends."

"Do you even believe that, Big Brother Long?" Cai Qing shook her head. "You really are a block of wood."

"..."

Long Chen was at a complete loss for words.

Cai Qing said bluntly, "Have you really not sensed that Sister Chu likes you?"
