The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 185

Although the Long Family had been completely scared and depressed, Gouyu still harbored a deep sense of hostility towards the Long Family. Long Juxue's existence was truly a thorn in Gouyu's stubborn side.    

This thorn always made him who had prideful self-esteem feel uncomfortable.    

Although Gouyu had never mentioned it, he was never willing to accept and admit defeat before Long Juxue's constitution. What kind of foundation made the sect look at Long Juxue with different eyes?    

He will prove that he, Gouyu, is just as good!    

He did not possess any abnormal potential, but he had a more determined martial dao heart that could replace him.    

Jiang Chen looked at this serious woman and suddenly felt a few stabs for not being able to see further. This woman was a princess and could have stayed in the Eastern Kingdom to continue and enjoy the sublime and luxurious treatment given to the royal family.    

However, he followed her without hesitation and became her follower.    

What does she want? A breakthrough in martial dao, of course.    

Jiang Chen did not deny that Gouyu felt dependence, gratitude, and even faint emotions between men and women towards him. However, Jiang Chen had never wanted everything to go that way.    

It was not that Jiang Chen did not think too much of Gouyu, but he knew that they would eventually go down different paths and were destined to be unable to fly together as a couple.    

This was the woman he was destined to let down. Therefore, his heart softened as Jiang Chen looked at Gouyu and her firm demeanor.    

“Even if she is not my woman, at least I will let her live a life more glorious and brilliant than she ever imagined.”    

When Jiang Chen's mind ventured here, he suddenly smiled, “You were right, you can still enter the spirit realm even without a sect. Now, I will give you the opportunity to enter the spirit realm.”    

"What did you say?" The astonishment radiated from Gouyu's beautiful eyes. He thinks he heard wrong.    

“Do you want to enter the spirit realm?”    

"Yes." Yeah." Gouyu nodded her head without hesitation.    

Jiang Chen flicked his finger and the middle ranked Five Dragon Heaven Opening Pill landed in his hand. “This Pill is called the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill, and will give you a 90% chance of entering the spirit realm. These pills can also shape your spirit sea, making it an ocean with unparalleled potential. Remember, I haven't even given this pill to Xue Tong, so you should keep it a secret.”    

Gouyu's face was filled with shock as she stared at the pill in her hand foolishly. His eyes suddenly turned red.    

The feeling of being aided by Jiang Chen, being given a hint by him and being cared for by him, suddenly sent his memories back several months, back to the time when they were all living in the Eastern Kingdom.    

Jiang Chen, you.    

"Stop. I don't like women who are chatty or hesitant. You are my follower and it is a natural action for me to give you pills.” Jiang Chen could not bear it when women cried.    

Gouyu boldly wiped his eyes. He was disappointed when he realized today that he seemed to have gotten used to Jiang Chen's help, got used to his instructions, and was used to receiving benefits from Jiang Chen.    

This “Pil will invade your entire physical body and will reshape your body, forming a spirit ocean within it. This process will be very painful. Remember, you have to stay under it. If you do, the sky will be the limit. You will set foot into the spirit realm and fly as you wish from this moment on.”    

Gouyu lightly pursed her lips as she could no longer find the right words to express her current emotions.    

“Jiang Chen, it looks like I, Gouyu, am destined to owe you this whole life. My life is yours whenever you want to ask for this gift.”    

“I don't want your life, I just hope you will always be a tenacious and unyielding Eastern Gouyu who only targets martial dao!”    

Gouyu started when Jiang Chen passed him and walked out.    

“Jiang Chen's…. You, you are truly a demon. There was me, Eastern Gouyu, who fell helplessly into a deep abyss that was you.” Gouyu murmured to herself. “Forget it, forget it. I did all this voluntarily. Jiang Chen, you know? Your superiority has ruined my worldview. I would rather be willing and happy to sink into your bottomless pit than to spend the rest of my life in mediocrity. I know I'm not worthy of you, and the distance that separates us is very far. However, even though I am a slave or servant, I am still willing to follow you for the rest of my life. Know ye? The splendor you radiated recklessly was enough to light up my entire world.”    

Gouyu almost blabbed out of silliness. He stood there, in the secret room, happy and sad.    

“Young master, first prince Ye Dai is outside looking for audience.” Someone quickly relayed this report when Jiang Chen came out.    

“You Dai?” Jiang Chen was surprised and then waved his hand. "Rejected!"    

“Young Master, this Ye Dai prince has a thick face and refuses to leave. He said that if the young master does not accept it, you will definitely regret it for your whole life.”    

"Repent? Because she?" Jiang Chen laughed coldly and thought that his subordinates might not be able to drive Ye Dai away. “Ignore him, I'll kick him out.”    

As he walked to the door, he did see Ye Dai standing there. His tall and fit body was like a willow tree swaying in the wind. His attitude is sophisticated and graceful. He presents a view that is quite pleasant when viewed from his appearance.    

“Jiang Chen, I plan to stand here and not leave until I see you.” Ye Dai smiled faintly, as if the two were not rivals who had experienced a dispute between them, and were old acquaintances.    

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, “First Prince, the relationship between the two of us doesn't seem familiar enough that such a boring joke can be solved?”    

Ye Dai did not think about that while maintaining his graceful demeanor, “Jiang Chen, I admit that I was a little unhappy and even a little envious of you on the birthday party day of that esteemed teacher. However, when I returned home, I felt this was not the right way to approach. To be honest, there was no fatal dispute between the two of us. You are now the holder of the Skylaurel Royal Medal, and I am the most supported and loved prince in the Skylaurel Kingdom. Why should we both compete with each other instead of working together?”    

“Not necessarily so!” Ye Dai shook his head and spoke seriously. “You can cooperate with number four in my house, so you can definitely cooperate with me.”    

“Do you think I, Jiang Chen, am someone who will become a traitor and change who I support?” Jiang Chen smiled coldly.    

“Jiang Chen, you can think about it. I can even become a mediator and ask you to make up with the Northern Palace if you nod your head. The matter of you killing their disciples can be solved with a smile. The dead are dead, the living definitely cannot engage in endless conflict because of the dead. And you know, I have many contacts within the Precious Tree Sect. With your potential, you will definitely enter the Precious Tree Sect in the future. I Can really pave the way for you and expedite you to accept a higher position. Besides that…"    

"Stop." Jiang Chen was impatient. “Ye Dai, what do you want to say? You want to recruit me? I can tell you clearly, I'm not interested.”    

“Just because the number one is four steps ahead of me and travels to the Eastern Kingdom?” Ye Dai was unwilling to accept this. “He's just an opportunist. If it wasn't for me being busy back then, I would have traveled to the Eastern Kingdom as well if I knew someone like you. You don't trust me Jiang Chen? Do you think the number four person can actually fight me for the position of Crown Prince? Do you really want to hang out with a prince with no background and make mistakes that will affect the rest of your life?”    

Jiang Chen laughed, “Ye Dai, you spoke excitedly, but I have absolutely no interest in the fight for the Crown Prince and the so-called great endeavor of this kingdom. I helped Ye Rong because she was my friend, and you, Ye Dai, are not my friend. As simple as that.”    

“Then we can also be friends.” Ye Dai hurriedly said.    

“When I entered the Black Underground Room it was destined that the two of us would not be friends.” Jiang Chen waved his hand and frowned, “I'll ask you one thing, are you going to get out of here or not?”    

Ye Dai's face turned cold and knew that he could not continue his action. He spoke rudely, “Jiang Chen, are you determined to pursue your false beliefs and oppose me to the end?”    

“About you? You think too much. Go back and look at your reflection in your own puddle of urine. Is something like you worthy of me, Jiang Chen, opposing you?    

“Alright, great! Jiang Chen, someday you will pay dearly for your stubbornness and ego. Then, you will cry, scream, and kneel before me, begging for forgiveness.”    

Ye Dai left behind these vile words and left with his expanding sleeves.    

He had great expectations this time and forcefully endured his disgust as he acted as someone kind and considerate towards talented people, hoping to eventually recruit Jiang Chen.    

He also knew that it would be difficult for him to bully Jiang Chen in public once he got the medal.    

Since he couldn't oppress her in public, why not recruit her? Ye Dai discovered that the advantages of recruiting Jiang Chen far exceeded his losses.    

There was only one weakness which was that he had to settle the matter with the Northern Palace and Lu Wuji.    

But the benefits are innumerable.    

However, he realized that his carefully crafted plan was all for naught. Even though he had various advantages and an impressive background, then what about it? Jiang Chen had not noticed any of that at all.    

Jiang Chen shook his head, “He doesn't know what he should do.”    

He was about to go back inside when the sound of the clattering of horse legs suddenly sounded from across the street. A man on horseback quickly approached Jiang Chen.    

“Sister Jiang, I've heard that you once cultivated with the door closed. Did you show up today?” The person on the horse had seen Jiang Chen from afar and raised his hand, exclaiming a greeting.    

“General Tian?” Jiang Chen was surprised to see that person was Tian Shao of the Dragon Tooth Guard.    

The horse galloped towards the door before Tian Shao suddenly retracted his control, making him come to a complete stop. Tian Shao jumped down and hugged Jiang Chen tightly.    

“Sadik, we haven't seen you in a month. The fourth prince kind of misses you.”    

“General Tian has a fast pace. Looks like you've been getting quite a lot of profit lately.” Jiang Chen chuckled.    

“And it's all thanks to you. You gave me the opportunity to ask Master Ye a question last time. After the hint, I felt that I had advanced again on that martial path and had sensed the edge of the half-step spirit realm.    

Tian Shao had been at the peak of the true Qi realm so it was an incredible breakthrough that he had reached the half-step spirit realm.    

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Lin Qianli has released his mortal shackles and ascended to the first level spirit realm. Suddenly, he became one of the most accomplished disciples in the Southern Palace. His chances of entering the Precious Tree Sect in the next open recruitment were extremely high.    

Tian Shao also felt a little admiration towards Lin Qianli when he thought about it.    

“ Lin Qianli's martial heart is quite firm. But I'm not surprised he broke.” Jiang Chen smiled. “I have to congratulate him when I meet him again.”    

Tian Shao smiled, “I told you once you spend time with him, you will realize that he is truly a precious friend. He sings your praises now, and appears before people if they are gesturing about bad things about you. Your friendship both grew because of exchanging blows.”    

Jiang Chen smiled, nodded, and then asked, “Oh right, old Tian, did you come looking for me because of something special?”    

Tian Shao hit his forehead, “Ai, look at me. I almost forgot the official purpose of my visit. The Autumn Hunt of the Maze Realm that was held once every five years would take place within ten days. Are you interested in participating?”    

“Autumn Hunting Natural Labyrinth?” Jiang Chen stared. What was that?
