The thunderous and violent booms resounded nonstop in the mountains . Dust and smoke lingered in the air, and the earth was shaking .
Two figures were criss crossing each other like electric shocks . Each time they made contact, devastating fluctuations would erupt, like two colliding meteors . As they exchanged blows, the fluctuations that rippled out caused great damage to the mountain range .
Bang!
Another hard collision caused both figures to shoot backward . As their feet landed on the ground, all of the solid rocks on the mountain were reduced into ashes instantly .
"Haha, that was wonderful!" Mu Chen stood firmly and rubbed his slightly red fist .
His handsome face was filled with a joyful smile . The previous head-on collision was indeed delightful and satisfying .
The figure who had appeared in front of Mu Chen was Long Xiang . In contrast to Mu Chen's satisfaction, Long Xiang's eyes were filled with awe and shock .
These past few days, he had become the training assistant due to his strength as a half-step to Complete Earthly Sovereign . As Mu Chen had just reached the Upper Earthly Sovereign, he needed someone to assist him with the adaption of the explosive power . Long Xiang seemed to be the best choice .
Long Xiang, of course, did not reject this request, as he also wanted to test how daunting Mu Chen's combat power was if he were to push it to the maximum . But the results of that test had really shocked him!
In the beginning, Long Xiang felt that the circulation of Mu Chen's power was not smooth . This was probably because Mu Chen had yet to adapt to the Upper Earthly Sovereign's spiritual energy .
At this time, if it was just their pure strengths battling one another, Long Xiang could still gain the upper-hand . However, as time passed, Mu Chen was adapting to the power level of the Upper Earthly Sovereign quickly . Hence, his combat power was surging at an incredible speed .
Just days after that, Long Xiang had discovered that he could no longer gain any advantage over Mu Chen when they wrestled using only their pure physical strengths .
Long Xiang was horrified by this . After all, he was already a half-step to Complete Earthly Sovereign, and the art that he had cultivated was skewed towards physical strength, too .
As such, Long Xiang was not a weak opponent as compared to the other Sovereigns at the same level . Yet, he had been pushed to the state whereby he could gain no upper hand over Mu Chen, who was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign . This, of course, shocked him to no end!
At the same time, Mu Chen had yet to display his other means . This was the most important matter . Long Xiang had a feeling that, if Mu Chen used all of his means on him, he would definitely be able to conquer Long Xiang .
"The Little Lord is really unpredictable . I'm impressed . " Long Xiang sang Mu Chen's praises .
Long Xiang could not help but be impressed, as Mu Chen had reached this stage with just the strength of an Upper Earthly Sovereign . Long Xiang looked at Mu Chen's young and handsome face .
As he did so, he felt more confident about Mu Chen . He thought that, given Mu Chen's ability, he might actually be able to rescue Ling Xi from the Spiritual Jade Island .
Mu Chen smiled casually in the face of Long Xiang's flattering exclamation . He had been able to tie with Long Xiang in the physical strength battle, not only because he had a similarly strong physical body, but most importantly, because he had the spirits of the real dragon and real phoenix .
Mu Chen estimated that, even without using his spiritual energy, he could still win against the rest of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns with his physical strength alone . Also, if he was to meet a half-step to Complete Earthly Sovereign like Long Xiang, he could still win .
As he was having all these thoughts, Mu Chen suddenly lifted his head . On a hill that was not too far away, a pretty figure was standing and looking over with her beautiful eyes .
"Little Lord, I'll take my leave first . " Upon seeing Luo Li's arrival, Long Xiang gave a smile .
Mu Chen nodded . "We will leave for Spiritual Jade Island in three days . "
"Yes!" Long Xiang answered respectfully, then walked away .
Mu Chen watched him as he left . Soon, his figured appeared before Luo Li .
Luo Li seemed to have just ended a meeting in the Luo God Clan, as she was still dressed in her gorgeous, long purple gown, which was noble yet elegant . Her slender waist, paired with the close-fitting dress, showcased her busty and seductive curves .
No one could take their eyes off of her exquisite features . As the gentle breeze blew, her long hair gently swayed to and fro . Luo Li's ravishing beauty took Mu Chen's breath away .
As Mu Chen looked at the girl in front of him, a gentle smile surfaced on his face . Even his stiff body could not help but relax in front of her .
With her around, he could always put down all of his responsibilities and enjoy a rare moment of peace . But, the passion in his eyes intensified as he stared at Luo Li .
Upon meeting his passionate gaze, a blush climbed onto Luo Li's pretty face . She threw him a stare, and just when she was about to say something, Mu Chen lurched forward .
As his manly breath came directly at her, Luo Li's natural reaction was to take a step back . But, she stopped herself subsequently, as a strong arm held her thin waist . Then, with one tug from Mu Chen, she fell into his arms .
Sensing her warm body in his arms, he looked at her blushing cheeks and saw the shyness in her eyes . Mu Chen could not suppress his emotions, and he lowered his head down and kissed her soft and tender red lips .
Luo Li tensed up immediately . But soon, her stiffness was replaced by a passionate response to Mu Chen .
As she wrapped her arms around Mu Chen's neck, her eyes were half-closed . This seductive look was extremely bewitching .
The breeze gently blew on the hill, while the couple hugged each other tightly . It was as though they wanted to release the passion that they had suppressed all these years all at once .
After the kiss went on for a long time, Luo Li finally let go . She could feel that her face was piping hot . She then buried herself in Mu Chen's chest, her usual dignified and elegant look as the Queen of the Luo God Palace being replaced with a quite shy look .
As Mu Chen looked at her, his eyes seemed to be surging with fire . His breath became heavy . He then tipped himself over and locked the girl under him on a grassy patch .
Just when he could not control himself any longer and wanted to make a move, a pair of hands blocked him in front of his chest . He lowered his head and met a pair of bright eyes .
"No . . . " Luo Li bit her little red lips and said softly .
This moment of interruption cleared Mu Chen's mind suddenly . The fire in his eyes dissipated and he gave her an awkward grin . He knew that the suppressed emotion all of these years had become too overwhelming, so much so that he had lost control all of a sudden .
They were at the mountain range that was behind Luo God Palace . Patrols would come through here from time to time . If they saw Mu Chen bullying their Queen, they might even launch a lethal offense against him, without even considering the difference in their levels .
Seeing that Mu Chen had stopped his advances, Luo Li finally put down her hands on his chest . Her pretty face was still blushing with shyness .
She was slightly taken aback by the sudden emotion that had just erupted from Mu Chen, so she had resisted as a reflex reaction . If they had been in a different place, she might not have had the courage to resist Mu Chen at all . As she thought of this, her face grew even redder .
Mu Chen looked at her tempting, delicate face and sighed . He then murmured, "A juicy piece of fine meat just escaped from my mouth!"
Luo Li could not help but to punch Mu Chen on his shoulder with her small fists when she heard his metaphor . Soon after this, she bit her little red lips and lowered her pretty face .
Then, with a small voice, she said, "When you become a Heavenly Sovereign and rescue your mother, I'll agree to anything you want . "
Towards the end of the sentence, Luo Li's voice shook slightly, indicating how shy she was . Mu Chen stared at her with his eyes wide-open . He did not expect that Luo Li would tempt him with this .
So, he asked righteously, "Do I look like I'm that kind of person?"
As he spoke, the heated blood in his body and his slightly red-skin were the only telltale signs that could prove that he was pretending . But, Luo Li was a smart one, so she could see through his forced playacting with one look .
Then, she drew her lips together slightly and pushed him away with her hands . She then brought her legs closer to her chest and tied up her long hair .
With a smile, she said, "Pretend that I never said those words . "
Mu Chen was slightly stunned, so he said reluctantly, "You are the Queen of the Luo God Clan . You should be keeping your word . How can you change your mind whenever you like?"
After that, he saw a teasing smile slowly surface at the corner of Luo Li's moist, red lips . Then, without any warning, he threw himself onto her .
"How dare you make fun of me?" he asked, while tickling her .
"Hehe!" She giggled .
The young man and the girl were laughing and playing with each other on the grassy patch . Their joyful giggling was delightful to hear . Over the past few years, both of them had led uptight lives, and such a carefree moment was scarce .
This heartwarming scene continued for quite a while before Mu Chen and Luo Li finally stopped giggling . They then sat on the hill and watched the sun setting on the other side of the sky .
"Have you decided to go to Spiritual Jade Island?" asked Luo Li, while she leaned her cheek on Mu Chen's shoulder .
Mu Chen nodded . "Sister Ling Xi is there, and I need to save her . "
Even though Spiritual Jade Island might be full of traps, Mu Chen had to go . After all, Ling Xi had given him a lot of help in the past, so their relationship ran deep .
"Don't you want to tell Mandela?" Since she is a Complete Earthly Sovereign, it would be safer if she tagged along .
Mu Chen shook his head . "The Mu Estate has just started . Although we have conquered the North Territory, the various top-notch forces in the Tianluo Continent are still eyeing us . Mandela had to stay in the Mu Estate to protect it . Otherwise, the new establishment in the North Territory could collapse at any time . "
Luo Li nodded gently and smiled . "Okay, then let me go with you this time . "
Mu Chen was a little stunned by this . Initially, he thought that Luo Li could not leave the Luo God Clan . After all, the clan needed her .
However, they have been separated for many years now, so naturally, Mu Chen wanted to stay longer with Luo Li . But, he knew that, in order to protect his loved ones in the future, he needed to endure the momentary loneliness .
Apparently, Luo Li regarded him as being so important, she would agree to follow him at this time . Seeing Mu Chen's shocked gaze, Luo Li gave him a cheeky smile and said, "Most of the important issues in the Luo God Clan are settled . So, there won't be any changes anytime soon . Moreover, you were always alone in the past . This time, let me share the burden with you . "
Mu Chen was touched when he heard this . He did not bother to reject her by giving her a reason of it being too dangerous, as he knew that such an excuse would not work on her .
Hence, he stretched out his arm and held her slender waist . He then let out a burst of heroic laughter that echoed throughout the sky .
"Fine! Let's brave this together!" he said with a smile .
