Chapter 300

~8 min read 1,530 words

"No, big brother, can you stop following me? I need to pee!"

Ye Lin was having a huge headache at this moment.

After Xie Hong left, the Shan Hai Realm trip finally came to an end, and in the end, Xie Zhanxin alone bore everything.

For this result, the Human Emperor was very satisfied, Ye Lin was very satisfied, everyone was very satisfied, and Xie Zhanxin himself didn't say anything.

It's just that Ye Lin had one more big trouble, and that was Lord Lord Chen Long.

Back in Qingcheng, Ye Lin still felt this guy was quite good and didn't have a completely extinguished conscience.

But now that he was in contact with him, he realized this guy was completely a stubborn donkey!

Xie Hong told him to watch him, so he really just watched him with one track of mind. No matter what he did, he watched. Even if he kissed Duan Ling, this guy watched without blinking, making Ye Lin feel completely uncomfortable.

Who would want to be watched by another man for no reason?

He originally thought about using a pee-escape to get a clone out to lure Lord Lord Chen Long away, but even when he stood in front of the urinal, Lord Lord Chen Long still stood by and watched, without any intention of leaving.

"You pee, it doesn't matter." Lord Lord Chen Long's tone was calm.

Ye Lin was about to go crazy, but he couldn't really drive Lord Lord Chen Long away. He could completely imagine what that old guy Xie Hong would say if he drove Lord Lord Chen Long away.

"Oh, you don't need my Xie family to protect you, right? Then fine, you go tell the Human Emperor yourself, and then it won't be my Xie family's business if you have an accident in the future."

Following that, he would face the full-force pursuit and encirclement of the Xie family.

Lord Lord Chen Long's existence was a double-edged sword. With Lord Lord Chen Long there, the Xie family would definitely not dare to take action against him.

But the problem was, with Lord Lord Chen Long there, it was inconvenient for him to do anything! He couldn't make any small moves!

"Buddy, you'd better go out; I'm mainly afraid of scaring you." Ye Lin sighed.

"I have received professional training and won't be afraid." Lord Lord Chen Long remained unmoved.

"Fine! You forced me!"

Ye Lin couldn't be bothered to care about Lord Lord Chen Long anymore and opened the floodgates directly.

In an instant, Lord Lord Chen Long took half a step back, and the pupils behind the mask constricted violently.

At this moment, Lord Lord Chen Long witnessed the true Nibelungen!

After coming out of the restroom, Lord Lord Chen Long's spirit was somewhat dazed. Any male would clearly be unable to remain calm after seeing that scene just now.

However, he still followed Ye Lin very dutifully.

Originally, Ye Lin could barely endure it, but at night when Duan Ling came to find him, Lord Lord Chen Long still had no intention of leaving, and instead wanted to watch from the front row at close range. Ye Lin finally couldn't endure it anymore.

"No, are you sick?" Ye Lin was about to go crazy with anger.

"I am not." Lord Lord Chen Long shook his head.

Ye Lin realized that things clearly couldn't go on like this.

He had to think of a way to solve Lord Lord Chen Long. Since he couldn't drive him away, why not try... turning this guy against them?

From the Qingcheng incident, Ye Lin could see that Lord Lord Chen Long actually didn't like some of the Xie family's ways of doing things.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin sent Duan Ling back and then bought three cases of alcohol.

As the saying goes, Budweiser cures all diseases, Wusu cures long-lasting love, Jägermeister with champagne, lie down until dawn.

If you want to open a man's heart, the best thing is alcohol.

When you see someone who is usually reticent talking endlessly while drinking, or someone who doesn't usually smoke suddenly asking for a cigarette, it means they are about drunk enough.

After setting up the drinking snacks, Ye Lin poured a glass of wine for himself and Lord Lord Chen Long each.

"Ah-ha-ha-ha... good wine is here. Drinking is such a beautiful thing. Hey, the dishes are all here, why aren't you drinking yet?"

"You just drink yourself." Lord Lord Chen Long refused vigilantly.

"Sigh!!! Damn it, why aren't you drinking?"

"Not drinking... not drinking, right? If you don't drink, I'll commit suicide on the spot!"

Ye Lin put a knife to his own neck.

"Mr. Lord Lord Chen Long, you don't want me to die and you have no way to report to Family Head Xie, right? If I die today, your Xie family will have to take full responsibility!"

Lord Lord Chen Long: "..."

Under Ye Lin's coercion, Lord Lord Chen Long could only sit opposite him obediently and lift a corner of his mask. Ye Lin keenly noticed that the face under his mask seemed to be covered in scars!

Then Ye Lin drank with him one glass after another.

Lord Lord Chen Long could see that Ye Lin wanted to get him drunk, but Lord Lord Chen Long wasn't very panicked in his heart; he still had confidence in his drinking capacity.

He observed very clearly that Ye Lin drank much more than him. Following this trend, he wouldn't be drunk yet, but Ye Lin would definitely be drunk first.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Lord Lord Chen Long only felt his head somewhat heavy, while Ye Lin opposite him was already slurring his words and stuttering.

"Brother Lord Lord Chen Long, there's one thing I've always wanted to ask you. What exactly do you have that you can't help yourself with? Why do you listen to the Xie family so much when you don't like their ways? Isn't this self-contradictory?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

Lord Lord Chen Long fell silent.

Ye Lin immediately handed over a cigarette.

"It's fine, Brother Lord Lord Chen Long, if you don't want to say it, then don't. I just feel that if some words are spoken, the heart will feel better."

With a click, the flame of the lighter lit the cigarette butt. The flickering cigarette butt emitted red light in the dark night, and the rising smoke blurred Lord Lord Chen Long's mask.

"Have you heard of... Demon Children?"

Ye Lin's pupils constricted violently. He had heard of the name Demon Child when he was helping Qiu Xingyuan look after the shop.

There was a beast-fighting arena on Gui Street, but it wasn't beasts fighting beasts, but humans fighting beasts!

Those homeless children would be brought there, relying on the instinct to survive to fight to the death with monster cubs, for people to watch, bet, and have fun. This type of child is a Demon Child!

Demon Children can only win, not lose. Losing once means death without a burial place.

That beast-fighting arena attracted countless rich people to watch. They threw money around, feeling the thrill of adrenaline soaring.

"I used to be a Demon Child. At that time, I was only nine years old. My will to survive was strong enough, ruthless enough, more like a wild beast than a monster. Just like that, I won ten matches in a row and killed ten monster cubs. This was extremely rare in the entire history of the beast-fighting arena."

Lord Lord Chen Long smoked, speaking of his past in a flat tone.

"Many guests relied on betting on me to win and made a fortune. By the time I went on stage for the eleventh time, the bets placed on me had reached an astonishing number."

"So for this eleventh match, the beast-fighting arena wouldn't let me win. As long as I died, the beast-fighting arena could make a big profit. So in the eleventh match, I encountered a Fire Goblin cub."

"Even if that thing was just a cub, its skin was covered in high temperatures of over a hundred degrees Celsius. I would be scalded even if I touched it, let alone winning with bare hands."

"I was scalded all over with blisters, dripping with blood, and the whole beast-fighting arena was filled with the smell of my own flesh being roasted, but those guests were even more excited, shouting at me to kill that Fire Goblin quickly. Only I knew I was about to die, and I was very scared."

"It was the master who saved me."

Lord Lord Chen Long snuffed out the cigarette.

"He took me away from that ghost place, treated my wounds, gave me food, and taught me to read."

"I will always remember that when I first arrived at the Xie family, the master cooked personally and fried a plate of red sausages for me. That was the most delicious thing I had ever eaten in my life. He even specifically asked me if I wanted them cut into the shape of an octopus."
