Chapter 190: Second Uncle Chen Chen

On Longshe Shan, there was a stretch of tranquility.

Shang Hongxue watched as time passed without seeing Brother Chuyang emerge from his seal; this seal had lasted a very long time, and she looked toward the summit, feeling somewhat worried.

"Brother Chuyang has been gone so long, the disturbances are quite big; could something have happened to him?"

These days she has spent in worry; indeed, not long ago the disturbances on Longshe Shan were so great she thought an earthquake had occurred. Fortunately the tremor lasted only an instant, after which calm returned. Longshe Shan was unharmed, protected by a formation; the spirit herbs on the mountain showed no issues, and the spirit energy density actually rose by a tenth after the quake.

This situation made her even more anxious; the changes on Longshe Shan, Shang Hongxue guessed, were related to Brother Chuyang. She could not go to ask him, nor disturb him, pretending to know nothing, yet her heart was already full of worry.

Elder brother Chen Chusheng remained calm, unhurried about such matters. No matter what happens on Longshe Shan, there is no need to be surprised; his younger brother is there, and his brother will not encounter trouble. He knows his brother's strength; within the current bounds of Dragon Snake City, no one can match his younger brother, so danger is impossible.

If the younger brother were in danger, they certainly couldn't avoid it; worry is useless, better to keep cultivating.

As for Shang Yue, these days he has become much more obedient. In the first few days he was truly lazy and hard to discipline. This Thus we have Xiao Pangzi's constitution is quite good; the only problem is laziness, his body is not sturdy enough, and his stamina is lacking.

"Hurry up and work, no slacking, Shang Yue, do you want to get beaten?"

Shang Yue quickly got up to work; even a short rest was impossible. His mouth twitched as he wanted to curse, but in the end he held back.

These days he finally understood what training is, what work is; every day he must work, and aside from sleeping and cultivating, it's work, never stopping. Considering him, the young master of the Shang Clan, the treasured child in his parents' palms, when had he ever done such a thing?

Chen Chusheng really tried, seeking his second sister's help; she pretended not to see, and his second sister's husband was also absent, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

Moreover, he could not be looked down upon by that little girl Zhang Nongqian; that girl was truly infuriating. Once again he collapsed from exhaustion, and the little girl saw it, mocking him on the spot as a weakling, unable to endure such hardship. At that moment, Shang Yue's defenses broke.

He felt completely ruined; never before had anyone looked down on him so much, especially a little girl. A warrior may be killed, but not humiliated.

"Got it, why keep urging? Not even a break is allowed—are you a devil?"

Chen Chusheng laughed: "You can't handle even this little work; when my brother emerges from his seal, you'll quickly learn what true despair is."

Shang Yue heard this and stared at Chen Chusheng; every time he says this, he uses it to intimidate himself.

"Elder brother, you aren't deceiving me, are you? Is my second sister's husband really that terrifying?"

"Hahaha, you're still young, you don't know that kind of pain. Ask your sister—she has endured it."

Shang Yue looked up, asking his second sister, Shang Hongxue.

"Second sister, what exactly is happening?"

Shang Hongxue said blandly, "You will soon try it; when your body becomes strong enough, you can... experience that feeling. I guarantee you'll regret it."

These tasks, compared to the smelting inside the Alchemy Furnace, are minor issues.

Those who have tried it all... become fearful.

Shang Hongxue believes in Chuyang, so she isn't as resistant inside, but that pain is truly deadly.

Chen Chusheng also tried several times before gradually accepting it.

You won't die, but it will trap you between wanting to live and being unable to die.

"Is it really that terrifying?"

Shang Hongxue comforted, "Don't think about it; you're still too weak now. If you wish, I can help you."

"No, second sister, I think I'm still too weak."

Just hearing it, Shang Yue felt scared; if these two are afraid, he can only imagine the magnitude of that pain and despair.

He is still young and doesn't want to endure such pain so early.

"Second sister, when can I return? Working like this every day, I..."

Working every day, doing nothing else, seems unable to quickly advance his cultivation.

This kind of life is too boring.

Shang Hongxue said, "What about you? Don't think about descending the mountain; for the next few months, don't entertain that thought."

"Little brother, when you have condensed your Qi seed, you can descend the mountain; that was the agreement we made back then."

"..." Shang Yue lowered his head, wanting to speak, but in the end said nothing.

He bowed his head and worked.

Chen Chusheng shook his head; Shang Yue wanted to descend the mountain—impossible. Look at him: he went up claiming special training, yet now hasn't even descended. The work of cultivating the Spirit Field is his; no one can take it away. If he leaves, who will do it?

His younger brother will not let them leave unless the Spirit Field cultivation is completed, or another big fool is found to replace him. Besides, staying on Longshe Shan is truly good; cultivation rises steadily, strength improves rapidly, and he gets stronger every day.

At the foot of the mountain.

Two people stood before Longshe Shan, their path blocked by the formation ahead.

A man and a woman; the man carried the woman up the mountain.

The woman lay on the man's back, unconscious, as if... something had happened.

"Hoo‑hoo, finally arrived at Longshe Shan—so this is Longshe Shan?"

"Qinger, wait a moment, it'll be fine soon."

"Your brother Chuyang will definitely have a way to cure you."

The newcomer resembled Third Uncle Chen Shen by about fifty percent, and also bore some resemblance to Chen Chuyang's father Chen Yuan; it was clear they were brothers.

He endured countless hardships to reach Longshe Shan, and behind him was his daughter, Chen Qinger.

This person is Second Uncle Chen Chen, Chuyang's biological second uncle.

The two stood outside the Longshe Shan formation, took out a jade token, and then entered the formation.

Their actions, all their movements, were observed by a woman outside.

Feng Feifei appeared where they vanished, hesitating for a long time: "Should we..."

She wanted to follow inside, but after thinking for a long while, she still lacked the courage to go in.

"That's a formation token; to enter, you must find the formation token."

"The formation of Longshe Shan is not simple; rushing in is dangerous."

She lowered her head, pondering whether to go in.

Following those two inside might...

"Fine, I'll keep observing for a while; I don't believe I can unravel this formation."

I am the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect; how could I be blocked by a mere Formation? I cannot let that lowly person Zhuge Ruolan mock me.

She, Feng Feifei, does not want to be mocked, nor does she want to be looked down upon by Zhuge Ruolan.

That woman wants to borrow a knife to kill someone; she knows all that, but she just wants to defeat Zhuge Ruolan and make her submit wholeheartedly.

What Zhuge Ruolan cannot do, Feng Feifei will surely be able to do; by then, she can severely humiliate Zhuge Ruolan, and the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect can only be her.
