Chapter 514 - 513: Return to Lotus Village
However, on second thought, since Chen Tianlong is my heart’s desire, he certainly wouldn’t be too ordinary, especially given that I myself am quite extraordinary.
Only that her identity, and strength are not suitable for free activities in the Mortal Realm and must remain secret. You must know, the cultivation world clearly stipulates restrictions on cultivators exceeding Yellow Dao Five Stars from causing disturbances in the Mortal Realm.
If discovered, a large number of experts would be dispatched to capture and bring them back, followed by severe punishment. Everyone in the cultivation world understands well what severe punishment means—being stripped of strength and returned to common mortality.
For an expert, losing all strength and becoming an ordinary person is an incredibly painful experience. Especially for those tasked with leading large family clans and grand sects in the cultivation world; once their power is gone, they face elimination and extinction.
But at this moment, to save Chen Tianlong, Shen Yan disregarded even her own life, regardless of any regulations, as long as she remained undiscovered, all would be well.
The four rushed in a car towards Lotus Village. Shangguan Hong was a bit frustrated, feeling like he’d lost when victory was within reach. However, he knew they couldn’t have gone far. So, he started following in his Audi.
Chen Tianlong didn’t dare to be careless, as they weren’t out of danger yet. Shangguan Hong’s strength is extremely formidable; despite having been knocked flying by a car moments ago, he got up effortlessly as if nothing happened.
Chen Tianlong knew that if it were him, he would at least have to lie down for a few days, only waking up with emergency treatment.
After ten minutes, Chen Tianlong saw no car was chasing, breathing a sigh of relief. Just five more minutes and their car would safely arrive at Lotus Village; once in the village, despite Shangguan Hong’s power, it would become ineffective.
Sure enough, after a furious rush, they finally arrived at Lotus Village.
This time, both Chen Tianlong and Shen Yan were worried; after all, she couldn’t use her strength, and she realized the opponent’s power.
Even if she couldn’t see beyond his level, she could tell from his Powerful Qi Wave that it matched hers.
Shen Yan was very surprised to encounter someone so heaven-defying in the Mortal Realm, possessing such power and still traversing freely there; there are only two types of people who can do this.
One type are experts who have been living incognito in the Mortal Realm for years, and the other type are specially trained experts from the national security bureau.
Could it be that the person is from the national security bureau? If so, why would he use deadly force against Chen Tianlong?
Shen Yan couldn’t understand; just as she felt frustrated, she suddenly sensed an unmatched quiet. She looked up and saw a vast field.
At the field’s edge, smoke coiled from kitchens, it was nearing dusk, and the village was alive with the calls of chickens and dogs—exactly as she remembered village life. However, the village roads were small, making it impossible for a low-ground car like a BMW to enter, prompting them to leave it parked by the roadside and continue on foot.
Soon, the three entered the village, where four or five little children were playing house.
The children, although dressed in somewhat worn clothes, had an innocence that their attire couldn’t hide, looking bright and lively.
Shen Yan’s heart stirred deeply. Once upon a time, she was such a little girl, pure and kind. But over the past ten years, her hands were stained with blood—what had made her so ruthless?
Life!
If not for survival, she would have gone outside to work, and she wouldn’t have been nearly starved to death when she encountered her savior, the Third Elder.
This was fate’s arrangement, granting her this opportunity to return to the place that belonged to her. Now, this tranquility, known only to her and Chen Tianlong, prevailed.
Perhaps it was due to habit, Shen Yan felt her heart wasn’t as restless and she could slowly get closer to Chen Tianlong. She felt a bit excited, although it was only a few hours, Shen Yan felt as though she had been with Chen Tianlong for half a century.
From being moved, to genuinely liking Chen Tianlong from the bottom of her heart.
"Hello everyone, I’m Chen Tianlong, though you may not recognize me yet I truly am from Lotus Village." At eight years old, Chen Tianlong followed Fang Zun, these children definitely wouldn’t recognize him.
"Wow, Chen Tianlong, you returned from school?" Upon hearing this, the children’s eyes lit up, especially Mo Jing, who was about their age, lowering his guard.
"Yes, I just got back from school, come over here everyone. I’ll take you back." Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile to the kids.
"Hehe, okay, Chen Tianlong."
The five children didn’t delay and directly followed.
Looking at these lovely children, Shen Yan smiled sweetly, revealing a long-lost smile.
Chen Tianlong suddenly turned around and caught sight of her charming appearance, and froze. Shen Yan was already quite beautiful, and her current smile added to her allure.
Suddenly, Shen Yan felt something was off and hurriedly turned back, only to see Chen Tianlong’s dazed expression.
Their eyes locked at that moment, their mouths so close they could almost feel each other’s breath and heartbeat.
Looking at Shen Yan’s stunningly fair and tender face, for some reason, Chen Tianlong wanted to kiss it, and Shen Yan seemed enchanted, moving closer, bit by bit.
"Tianlong brother, what are you doing? Playing house? It looks fun," suddenly a little girl called out.
