Chapter 1119 - 1112: See You There
Long Kui stayed at Jino's residence for several consecutive days, playing chess, chatting, and strolling around Karachi City at night to experience the local customs and culture.
Every time he went for a walk, Long Kui would call Long Jing to join him.
Both Long Kui and Long Jing were curious about Purple Origin Star as it was their first visit.
After several days, Long Kui began slipping out of the city during the daytime.
However, he never mentioned the plan to assassinate Yang Xiao, nor did he ask Jino to arrange any investigative activities, almost as if he was here purely for sightseeing.
One day, Jino couldn't hold back any longer and asked:
"Director, when do you plan to act?"
Long Kui waved his hand and said:
"No rush, I have my arrangements."
Jino listened and simply shut his mouth.
...
Long Kui and Long Jing were playing chess in their room.
Long Kui's spiritual power and chess skills were far superior to Long Jing's, and she lost three games in a row.
Using spiritual power to play chess is very exhausting for one's Qi. Long Jing's spiritual power wasn't high, and her chess skills were average. After three games, her blood was surging, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Uncle Kui, I'm not your match. I concede."
Long Kui didn't force her, placing the chess pieces aside with a smile:
"Jing'er, you've been restless these days, even in chess. I understand that the matter with Yang Xiao troubles you, but eventually, you'll have to make a choice. I'm delaying my action to give you time, hoping you can convince yourself to accept this reality."
Long Kui knew from his visit to Flying Leopard Academy that the relationship between Long Jing and Yang Xiao was unusual, but he took it as merely a typical affair between youngsters, unaware that the two had a child.
Given the situation, Long Jing had no reason to deny her feelings for Yang Xiao, and she uttered with a faint smile:
"It's a personal affair between Yang Xiao and me, but Yang Xiao's matter with the Great Dragon Empire is official business. As the princess of the Empire, I naturally understand that personal feelings shouldn't interfere with official duties."
Long Kui smiled faintly,
"But you haven't let go of Yang Xiao. If I kill him, you'll still be heartbroken, right?"
Long Jing remained silent and nodded slightly, her eyes moistening.
"Is it necessary to kill him?"
"Yes, it's your father's order. No one dares defy your father's command. Besides, Yang Xiao indeed harmed the core interests of the Great Dragon Empire this time, almost inciting a war of annihilation. Your father's anger is hard to appease; without killing Yang Xiao, he cannot eat or sleep in peace."
Long Jing lowered her head, saying nothing. The thought of Yang Xiao being killed by Long Kui filled her heart with unbearable pain.
Long Kui glanced at Long Jing, sighed, and said:
"On the crystal stone distribution day at the end of this month, I plan to kill Yang Xiao at the crystal stone trading hall in Guangfu City. There are five or six days left until then. You can go to Guangfu City and secretly see him if you want, or even reconcile with him.
Long Jing was startled and looked up at Long Kui across from her.
Long Kui smiled and said:
"This is your last time with him. I'm giving you a chance to cherish it properly, but you can't tell him that I'm here to assassinate him. As a princess of the Great Dragon Empire, you should know the importance of discretion.
Of course, even if you tell him, he won't escape my pursuit; killing him is as easy as crushing an ant beneath my feet."
Long Kui said these words with full confidence, as though he was discussing something as simple as stepping on an ant.
Long Jing certainly believed in Long Kui's combat power. With his Emperor Level Realm cultivation, once unleashed, his combat power was extremely terrifying. Not just one Yang Xiao, even a hundred Yang Xiao's couldn't withstand him.
Long Kui, although usually gentle, becomes exceptionally terrifying once bursting forth. In the entire Great Dragon Empire, only the Emperor of Great Dragon and the War God are his match.
Long Jing nodded. In her country, in front of her family, she couldn't bring herself to betray.
"If you're willing, I'll have Jino arrange for you two to meet and catch up, as on the crystal stone trading day, I might not have time left for you and Yang Xiao to bid farewell."
Long Jing listened and helplessly closed her eyes, two tears rolling down.
...
Yang Xiao now spends his days in the Guangfu Clan happily with a loving family.
The three children call out around him all the time, diving at him as soon as he gets home. Holding his three chubby little babies, his heart is filled with warmth.
The three children before him are his genetic continuation, his flesh and blood. His heart is overflowing with affection.
Since subduing the demon beasts in the forest, Yang Xiao began extensively refining Happiness Pills.
To find an heir for refining Blessing Pill, Yang Xiao first turned to the Wildman King, who spoiled two furnaces of Happiness Pills before patting his butt and leaving,
"Yang Xiao, I've grown old, my eyesight failing, sluggish limb; I can't do this job. You'd better find someone else to help you."
Yang Xiao inwardly cursed, "Damn it, old man! Every day you frolic in Earth Village, looking vibrant, without aching waist or sore legs, full of energy, even stronger than the young ones, yet you claim you're old when refining pills?"
Feeling helpless, Yang Xiao asked Ah Bao for help,
Ah Bao, at Empire Level Realm, had no issues using Fire Element to refine pills,
But Ah Bao was truly somewhat dull. Yang Xiao often had to explain things several times before he understood, sometimes recalling later things but forgetting earlier details repeatedly, wasting many of Yang Xiao's materials in vain.
Refining pills requires not only power but also patience and meticulousness.
Yang Xiao felt it would be best to endure the struggle himself.
During the Happiness Pill refinement, a procedure involving Fire Element is essential. Yang Xiao previously had King Level Realm; now he's at Empire Middle Level Realm, and the power unleashed using the same Fire Element Technique is vastly different.
After several rounds, Yang Xiao noticed that now when he uses Fire Element Technique for pill refining, the efficiency has improved several times, and the effect of the elixirs seems somewhat different.
The previous elixirs condensed into a black paste-like form, but now they appear to have a jelly-like semi-transparent form.
...
Jino arrived at Guangfu City and found Ah Bao.
"Oh, Lord Jino is here."
"Ah Bao, I want to meet Yang Leader. Is he around?"
"He's indeed around, but it's unfortunate that he's been busy lately with pill refining during the day and probably doesn't have time to meet you."
"Such poor timing, then can I wait for him at night to meet him?"
Ah Bao laughed and said:
"Certainly no problem in seeing him at night, besides, your relationship with Yang Leader is special; if it were anyone else, I'd decline. Let me arrange it for you."
"Thank you, Ah Bao brother."
...
In the evening, Yang Xiao emerged from the back mountain refining room, ready to go home for dinner, play with his children, and spend intimate time with his three wives.
He had already become accustomed to such a life, finding it fulfilling and enjoyable.
Ah Bao came over and said:
"Great Chief, Jino came looking for you, do you want to see him?"
"Oh, Jino's back so soon? Certainly, I'll see him; Jino isn't an outsider."
Yang Xiao continued to hold appreciation for Jino; if it hadn't been for Jino's support back then, he couldn't have established the mine in Wildman Valley.
Ah Bao took Yang Xiao to a house and entered.
Jino was inside, feeling bored, drinking tea, and stood up immediately upon seeing Yang Xiao enter,
"Oh, Yang Leader is here."
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Jino, there's no need to act so formal between us; we're old friends. You can call me by my name or brother Yang in private, which I find familiar."
Jino was taken aback, laughing heartily, saying:
"Alright, then I won't hold back, Brother Yang, haha..."
"Brother Jino, you returned from Witch Star so quickly; you must be among the first batch back, right? It seems the others haven't come back yet."
"Yes, they'll return together on the transport ship at the end of the month. I returned early for certain matters."
"Brother Jino, did you come looking for me for something?"
Jino nodded,
"Indeed, Brother Yang, I want to invite you to dinner tomorrow at the newly opened restaurant Xingyun Piaoxue in Earth Village, if you have the time?"
Yang Xiao smiled and said,
"No need for such formality between us; whatever it is can be talked about now."
"Brother Yang wouldn't deny me this honor, right?"
Yang Xiao paused, guessing that Jino came regarding the crystal stone distribution plan, and said:
"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'd be remiss not to join, okay, I'll find you in Earth Village tomorrow."
"Not meeting, not parting!"
Jino finished speaking and rose to take his leave.
