Chapter 549: The Girl from the Drunken Immortal Tower
"Long Chen, I know you must have an unusual background, but no matter what kind of force you are in, there is endless oppression and exclusion. Don't you really think about joining us? If you are willing to join, I am willing to give up the group leader.
I’ll give it to you, and there’s no problem naming the mercenary group after you.”
In the dark night, Mu Xue and Long Chen came to a cliff. Mu Xue said softly to Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at the camp at the bottom of the cliff and sighed: "First of all, I want to thank Captain Mu Xue for his respect, but I really can't join the Mu Xue mercenary group."
"Why? You can't give up your identity?" Mu Xue asked.
"I think you have misunderstood, Captain Mu Xue. I am not a disciple of any aristocratic family. I am just a grassroots person with no identity.
I chose not to join the mercenary group, not because I look down on you, but I really like the atmosphere in the mercenary group. Everyone loves each other and is like a family.
It is precisely because I like you that I cannot join you, because I am a disaster star and will cause trouble to you." Long Chen looked at the bright moon in the sky and shook his head.
"You should know that there is not a single coward in our mercenary group," Mu Xue looked at Long Chen and said.
"Just think of me as a selfish person, you may not be afraid of death, but I am afraid, I can't bear the pain.
And if I join you, I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire mercenary group is destroyed by me alone.
You will all die, but I will bear the heart-piercing pain alone, so being ruthless is not as painful as being sentimental, so just think of me as a ruthless person." A trace of sadness appeared in Long Chen's eyes.
He is a person who is against the entire heaven. If you want to fight with him, you need a very strong destiny. If your destiny is not strong enough, you will perish.
During the war between good and evil, there were still so many high-spirited core disciples fighting side by side with Long Chen.
When Jiuli Secret Realm came out, only Gu Yang and a few others were left, and those people just perished.
Although the path of a cultivator is filled with hundreds of rivalries, each of whom lives and dies according to their destiny, Long Chen doesn't know how many of them died because of Yin Wushuang's conspiracy, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Long Chen became more and more cautious about his feelings. His actions might very well cost others their lives.
This is also the reason why he has always kept a certain distance from everyone, especially Mu Xue and the other two girls.
Although everyone in the Mu Xue mercenary group is an elite, if they work hard to train them, they will become very powerful helpers.
But Long Chen really likes them and doesn't want them to get involved in his whirlpool. They have finally found the direction of their lives and determined their goals in life, so they don't want to step into this muddy water again.
"Long Chen, do you have any stories?" Seeing the sadness in Long Chen's starry eyes, Mu Xue couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
"My story is too long, I can't even finish it," Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Then...are you willing to talk to me?" Mu Xue whispered.
Long Chen looked at Mu Xue and said, "Thank you, Captain, for your concern. I will never forget the Mu Xue Mercenary Group, nor will I forget the brothers, nor will I forget you, the Captain.
Oops, I remembered. It’s time for Hanshui Colored Crow to take medicine, otherwise it won’t be able to fly tomorrow. I’ll go first, Captain.”
Long Chen slapped his head with some annoyance, said goodbye to Mu Xue, and flew towards Hanshui Color Crow.
Looking at Long Chen's leaving figure, Mu Xue felt a little disappointed. Over the past few years, she had been very tired of supporting the mercenary group alone...
…
Early the next morning, Hanshui Caiya's spirit had indeed recovered a lot. When he saw Long Chen arriving, he slowly crouched down.
"Long Chen, are you sure you can do it? Don't throw us down halfway, or we'll all be smashed into pieces," Zhang Wu said worriedly.
"Don't worry, even if you fall into pieces, you will still be the biggest among them." Long Chen looked at Zhang Wu's burly figure and said calmly.
Long Chen's words made the two girls snicker non-stop, but Mu Xue was not in a good mood today and remained silent.
"Let's go"
Everyone got on the Hanshui Colored Crow, and Long Chen gave the order to the Hanshui Colored Crow. The Hanshui Colored Crow's wings shook, and it flew into the sky with everyone.
The Hanshui Colorful Crow flapped its wings and soared upwards, reaching the clouds in an instant. Many people's faces turned green with fright. If it fell from such a high distance, it would be fatal.
"Long Chen, can you let it fly lower? It looks so scary." A girl pulled Long Chen and said with a pale face.
"This is not possible. If you fly too low, you will be attacked by other monsters. We are not afraid. However, Hanshui Color Crow's body has just recovered a little. If he is attacked, he will be in danger of losing his life.
Don’t be afraid, everyone, if we increase the distance by about a thousand feet in a while, you won’t be afraid anymore,” Long Chen said with a smile.
Sure enough, after reaching a distance of another thousand feet, everyone was no longer so scared, because the Hanshui Colored Crow had entered a state of level flight, and there were thin clouds below, blocking everyone's sight. Visually, it was not so scary anymore.
"Those who are brave can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and those who are timid can close their eyes and sleep for a while. The Hanshui Colored Crow flies very steadily," Long Chen said.
After Long Chen said this, he found that the guys who originally had a hint of fear on their faces were looking into the distance, just to show that they were not "timid" people, which made Long Chen couldn't help but smile.
"It's so fast. If we keep going like this, we can reach Qingzhou in just one day and one night." After flying high in the sky, Mu Xue was also shocked by the speed of Hanshui Colorful Crow and finally said.
"I'm afraid not. Hanshui Caiya's injury has just partially healed. He will have to rest for a whole night after flying for half a day at a time.
But it is still much faster than our full sprint speed, and it is estimated that we can reach Qingzhou in three days," Long Chen explained.
Mu Xue nodded without saying anything. When it was getting close to noon, Long Chen asked the Hanshui Colored Crow to start falling slowly and find an empty lake to land on.
He also gave Hanshui Colored Crow a large amount of healing pills. After all, Hanshui Colored Crow's body was too huge and required a lot of energy.
They rested one night by the lake that day, and then continued on the road the next day. It was still a half-day flight and one night's rest. On the third day, everyone had already flown out of the mountains.
After leaving the mountains, there were still 20,000 to 30,000 miles away from Qingzhou City, but Long Chen made Hanshui Colored Crow stop.
Everyone jumped off Hanshui Colored Crow's back, and Long Chen took out a large amount of pills and fed them to Hanshui Colored Crow.
"Okay, our agreement is completed. This last batch of pills is enough to make your recovery as good as before. Go back to your home." Long Chen said to Hanshui Caiya.
The reason why Long Chen let it go so early was because he was afraid that when it got close to Qingzhou City, it would be discovered by other strong men and kill the Hanshui Colored Crow.
The cold water colored crow suddenly let out a low cry, and kept its big head in front of Long Chen, rubbing it affectionately. It was so grateful for Long Chen's kindness that it was reluctant to leave.
Everyone couldn't help but feel moved when they saw it. Who said that monsters are cruel by nature? Sometimes, they understand emotions better than humans.
"It was just an agreement between us. I will help you heal your wounds, and you will help us lead the way. Now that we are clear, our fate has ended, and it's time to separate." Long Chen gently patted Hanshui Caiya's big head and said.
The Hanshui Colored Crow reluctantly spread its wings and flew into the air. However, it circled several times in the air and refused to leave.
"Go ahead" Long Chen sighed.
The cold water-colored crow then let out a clear cry, its wings shook, and it shot straight into the sky and disappeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the direction Hanshui Caiya was leaving, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Warcraft can still repay kindness, but why do people like to repay kindness with hatred?
However, a small favor is also a transaction. Warcraft can be grateful, but what about humans?
The soldiers of Mu Xue's mercenary group also sighed in their hearts and watched Han Shui Caiyao leave. However, in Mu Xue's mind at this time, Long Chen's words just now echoed: The fate has ended, and it's time to separate.
Could it be that the example of Hanshui Colored Crow is a reflection of them and Long Chen? Looking at Long Chen's back, a hint of complexity appeared in Mu Xue's eyes.
"It's still half a day's journey, let's go," Mu Xue suppressed her thoughts and said to everyone.
Everyone nodded. It was almost noon now. Everyone should speed up their pace and reach Qingzhou City before dark.
"Hey, Long Chen, when we get to Qingzhou City, I'll bring you a nice meal and I'll treat you!" Zhang Wu said excitedly at this time.
"You are not allowed to take Long Chen to shady places," a girl warned.
Zhangwu's face turned red and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, am I, Zhangwu, that kind of person?"
Long Chen was speechless for a while, you are not that kind of person, why are you blushing? Isn't this trying to hide something?
"Ahem, I don't want everyone to be in trouble, and Brother Long Chen refuses to join our mercenary group.
Seeing that we are about to part ways, I am going to invite Brother Long Chen to have a good time at Zuixian Tower. You also know that the girls in Zuixian Tower are all prostitutes rather than performers... Oh, no no... they are prostitutes but not performers." Zhang Wu
He quickly changed his words.
Long Chen was filled with contempt. If you don't want to invite me, just say it. Isn't this getting darker and darker?
"That's a good idea." What everyone didn't expect was that Mu Xue actually nodded.
"Captain" everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.
"You are overthinking it. Zuixian Tower is the largest romantic place in Qingzhou. I have heard about it for a long time and want to see it," Mu Xue said with a slight smile.
"Captain, isn't this bad..." Zhangwu said hesitantly.
"You are thinking too much. Long Chen has helped us so much this time, so of course we should invite Long Chen to see it.
And what I want to go to is the top part of Zuixian Pavilion - Zuixian Pavilion, don't think wrongly," Mu Xue said with a smile.
"Zui Xian Pavilion? What's the cost..." Everyone couldn't help being shocked.
"No matter how much we spend, can it be compared with the treasure we get? It's settled. After handing over the task first, our Mu Xue mercenary group will go to Zuixian Pavilion to book a box.
On the one hand, this is a farewell to Long Chen, on the other hand, we want to announce to the entire mercenary world that our Mu Xue mercenary group has risen strongly," Mu Xue said with high spirits.
"That's great, we finally have a chance to see the top girls in Zuixian Tower..." Zhangwu danced excitedly.
"Want to meet the girl from Zuixian Tower? Maybe in the next life."
Suddenly, a cold voice came, and a group of people rushed out from a distance, surrounding everyone.
