Chapter 397 - Fire Poison Curse

Long Chen nodded. He would be leaving one way or another, so he wasn’t worried that others would find out.

“Are you heading back to the capital for revenge?”

She was right. Long Chen smiled. “You know how I was chased by them. I almost died that day. I am more than happy to go and take revenge.”

Murong Yu sat beside him. She was still wearing the black veil. Long Chen didn’t even know what she looked like.

“I actually wanted to know the story between you and that girl,” Murong Yu suddenly said.

“Ling Xi?” Long Chen was taken aback and chuckled. “It’s actually a pretty generic story. I’ve known her for about a year, and I slowly became stronger ever since we met. We went to the capital and the Ninth Prince wanted her, so I killed him. We then escaped and ended up here.”

He gave her the watered-down version.

“You are so reckless. I can’t believe you opposed the imperial family with so little strength.”

“It’s worth it. I would rather die than give her to them.”

Murong Yu was jealous of Ling Xi, and she shook her head bitterly. “I’m so jealous of her. She has someone who loves her so much ...”

Long Chen didn’t know what to say. If he were still in Baiyang Town, he would’ve said something stupid like he could love her too. But now his heart was filled with only Ling Xi.

He just chuckled.

Murong Yu changed the subject because it was very awkward. “Do you plan to take the Demon Emperor Sword with you? The Demon Elders will stop you. It’s the treasure of the Heavenly Demon Palace, so they would never let you take it away.”

“I will just kill them.”

He was cocky, but Murong Yu knew he would do that after seeing him stepping on the Third Demon Elder. Long Chen would definitely be unbeatable in the Heavenly Demon Palace once he learned the Demon Emperor Sword Technique. Only Zhao Qingyun would be able to stop him.

“Long Chen, since we are friends, could you do me a favor?”

“What is it?”

“Since you are leaving, I was hoping you wouldn’t kill the Demon Elders even if they try to fight you, which I’m certain that they will. I know you hate them, but please don’t kill them.”

“Why? They’re the ones who tortured you!”

“But they are also the ones who raised me to become who I am today. I can’t let them die.”

“Fine.” Long Chen smiled at her reasoning. Who could say this place was a place for demons? Murong Yu was a kind girl who would repay gratitude with gratitude.

“Thank you.” Murong Yu was truly grateful to him.

Long Chen looked at her veil before he suddenly asked, “Since we are friends, can I take a look at your beautiful face?”

Murong Yu turned around when she heard that. She lowered her head when she felt his intense gaze. “No. I’m ugly. I look worse than Ling Xi and I don’t want to scare you away.”

“Huh?” Long Chen was shocked. He could see the outline of her beautiful face and her pale skin. There was no way she would be ugly. Rather, everyone called her a goddess!

He was still feeling confused when Murong Yu took a leap of faith. “Long Chen, do you really want to see it that badly?”

It was a difficult decision for her.

“Brother Chen, say that you want to see it,” Ling Xi suddenly whispered. He had thought she would be jealous, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

“Yes, please let me see.” Ling Xi probably knew something that he didn\'t, so Long Chen trusted her.

Murong Yu had no choice and stood up. “Let’s go inside first.”

Long Chen followed her and looked at her figure from the back. Judging by her slender waist and height, there was no way she was not pretty.

Once inside, he closed the door. He turned around and saw that the veil covering her face had fallen off. Long Chen didn’t see an ugly girl, but a goddess. It was just as he had expected—she was indeed a beauty. No one in the Heavenly Demon Palace could compare to her.

“Are you crazy? You call yourself ugly?” Long Chen was perplexed. He was even taken back by how beautiful she was.

Murong Yu smiled. “Actually, a lot of people have seen my face like this and said I was pretty. Even Yang Danfeng was fooled by it. But this is not my true face.”

“Huh?”

“You will see.” Murong Yu touched the bottom of her jaw before tearing off her face. Long Chen almost yelped when he saw her skin being peeled off, but he was surprised when there was no blood.

Murong Yu tore off the mask and placed it down. Long Chen had expected to see bloody muscles, but instead, it was another face! He realized that he had been looking at a mask all along.

Her true face was very similar to the mask. The only thing different about her was that there were patches of red on the left side of her cheek, just like a burn mark. She did look scary like this.

Long Chen didn\'t know what to say and thought that it was senseless of him to force someone to show something like this, so he immediately apologized.

“Don’t worry. You never thought that I would be this ugly, right?” Murong Yu’s face fell. She was very aware of what the mark did to her.

“It looks like a burn mark, but there should be a lot of spiritual herbs in the Heavenly Demon Palace that could treat you ...”

“Only my master knows about this. She found a lot of herbs for me, but nothing worked, so I gave up ...”

Ling Xi suddenly whispered to Long Chen, “Brother Chen, I know what it is! This is a Fire Poison Curse. It’s a type of naturally-made seal. She must’ve accidentally come into contact with it and got cursed. Normal herbs could never cure it.”

She must’ve sensed it, which was why she wanted Long Chen to ask Murong Yu to reveal her face.

Long Chen was excited. “Xiao Xi, can you unravel it?”

“Yep. I’m pretty sure I can do that. I have an eighty-percent chance of undoing it.”

That was a large margin of success. Murong Yu was his friend, so he wasn’t worried about her knowing Ling Xi’s secret. He suddenly smiled and asked, “Do you want to see a surprise?”

The atmosphere was , so Murong Yu was surprised by what he said. She nodded, not even putting her veil back on.

Just then, Long Chen’s ear stud exuded white mist and a small beauty popped out. Ling Xi floated in front of Murong Yu, and the latter saw the beautiful face in front of her.

“Huh ...” Murong Yu was so shocked that she took two steps back.

“Don’t be scared. You’ve seen her before. She’s Ling Xi.” Long Chen held Ling Xi in his hands and smiled.

Murong Yu calmed down and looked at the smiling Ling Xi. She was shocked to see Ling Xi like this. “You mean Ling Xi was in your ear stud when you said she was in a safe place? Why is she like this?”

“That doesn’t matter. More importantly, Ling Xi told me that she could remove the scar on your face.”

“What?” Murong Yu was stunned by what he had said.

“Xiaoyu, please lie down on the bed. There’s no time to waste. I know a thing or two about curses, so I can assure you that ...”

Murong Yu nodded and laid down on the bed. She was still processing what was happening.
