Although the woman was sitting there, she was not much shorter than the other men, and when she stood, she should be quite tall.
This person had willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin cherry lips—very beautiful. Yet, beneath her beauty was a trace of innate cold arrogance. From Long Chen's experience in judging people, he was like a rose with thorns—very difficult to get along with.
On her forehead was a six-petal plum blossom pattern, seemingly containing infinite flame power. When she looked at Long Chen, it was as if the plum blossom was also watching him. Flames swirled within the plum blossom, seemingly ready to lock onto Long Chen at any moment.
This woman was a terrifying powerhouse, and one of the first people to put pressure on Long Chen after his arrival.
Seeing the woman looking at him coldly, Long Chen didn't understand what she meant and replied calmly,
"What advice do you have?"
The woman replied coldly, "No advice. I've heard of you. In the Jiuli Immortal Realm, I encountered a group of powerful wood cultivators."
I once invited them, but they said they belonged to the Dragonblood Legion and would not join any faction; they would only be loyal to their boss.
I asked who their boss was, and they told me it was Long Chen. They even showed me a portrait and asked if I knew you. "
Long Chen's heart pounded wildly. A group of powerful wood cultivators belonging to the Dragonblood Legion—aren't they their medical warriors?
"Where are they now?" Long Chen asked urgently.
"They were hunted by Weng Tianhui of the Purple Thunder Empire in the Jiuli Wonderland. I arrived just in time, forced Weng Tianhui away, and saved them," the woman said....
"Thank you very much." Long Chen hurriedly cupped his fists.
"You don't need to rush to thank me yet. There are eighteen of them in total, and three of them were seriously injured by Weng Tianhui, their fate uncertain.
I invited them to join the Vermilion Bird Empire, but they refused. Then I wouldn't use my secret technique to save them, so those three were seriously injured. Based on my experience, their chances of survival are extremely low. The woman said expressionlessly.
Hearing that the three were gravely injured, Long Chen's murderous intent surged to the sky. He hadn't expected that people from the Purple Heaven Empire wouldn't be so quiet elsewhere either.
"You could call me despicable. Whether it's Weng Tianhui or me, we both value their precious wood-element talents.
Weng Tianhui was forceful, while I was soft and persuasive. Although the methods differed, the goals were the same. The woman looked at Long Chen and said.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "No matter what, you helped my sisters. I will remember this kindness, and if I get the chance, I will repay it." Although
this woman did not attempt immediate rescue, Long Chen did not hate him. Medical warriors possess powerful self-healing abilities.
They themselves had suffered such severe injuries, and to heal them would inevitably come at a tremendous price.
Inside the secret realm, opportunities and dangers coexist. They refused to join the Vermilion Bird Empire, so naturally, this woman had no obligation to risk helping them heal.
"To be honest, I think you're really annoyed. If it weren't for you, these outstanding wood cultivation geniuses would have been won over by me, greatly increasing my strength. In the future, competing for the throne will be a powerful trump card. If I fail to win them over, it's all your fault." The woman looked at Long Chen, her cold eyes filled with anger.
"What kind of theory is this?" Long Chen was stunned—is this really okay? Isn't that unreasonable?
"That's my theory. Because these wood cultivators are too important to me, once I, Yu Qianxue, set my sights on something, I will never give up easily. So..." the woman named Yu Qianxue said coldly.
"What are you doing? Trying to hit me? Long Chen saw Yu Qianxue's hostile expression and couldn't help but become wary.
"Let's make a high-stakes gamble. On the arena, victory is decided in one fight. If you lose, you and your Dragonblood Legion will all be under my command." Yu Qianxue spoke each word clearly.
"Wow, what appetite."
Long Chen looked at Yu Qianxue in disbelief. What was this beautiful yet proud woman thinking? I have so many brothers, will they all work for you in the future? You really dare to dream.
Long Chen shook his head. Although this woman was strong, she was a paranoid madwoman who considered everything from her own perspective. She was quite beautiful, but unfortunately, she was a fool.
Long Chen was about to speak, but before he could speak, the man who had given up his seat curiously asked, "
What if you lose?"
"I won't lose."
Yu Qianxue said firmly, her voice full of confidence.
"Don't talk so big. What if you lose?" The man chuckled and asked curiously.
Yu Qianxue snorted coldly, "If I lose, I'll marry him. Everything I have is just a dowry." As
soon as Yu Qianxue said this, all the strong figures present were shocked. This was just too much—was this a martial arts contest for marriage proposals?
You have to know, this cold beauty is the princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire—her status is truly noble. Is it really about deciding a lifelong bond with just one sentence?
While people looked at Yu Qianxue, they also turned to the handsome man in black, carrying a long knife on his back. They secretly speculated about Long Chen's true identity—how had they never heard of him before?
And judging by Yu Qianxue's tone, she had never met Long Chen before, only heard of him. She didn't really know much about him, yet he gambled so highly. Wasn't this just too much?
Yu Qianxue's words shocked the other royal disciples, who looked at her in disbelief. In their understanding, she was a very proud master. Even princes and princesses were ignored and rarely spoke. But today, suddenly like this, they were all stunned.
Could it be that those eighteen wood cultivation geniuses were truly terrifying to the extreme? Yu Qianxue would disregard the royal family's dignity and make a bet with Long Chen?
"Are you a princess?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"That's right, she's the genuine Princess Qianxue of the Vermilion Bird Empire. Hehe, bro, your chance has come. Take a gamble, bet it, turn a knife into a battle axe, take a gamble, a small spoon can become a big pot." The man next to Long Chen looked like a child, extremely excited, patting Long Chen on the shoulder to encourage him.
Only then did Long Chen realize that the people in the first three rows had extraordinary status. To dare speak to the princess in such a tone, they were probably at the level of princes and princesses.
"Isn't that fair? If you lose, everything you have is mine; if I lose, everything is yours. Do you dare to fight?" Yu Qianxue looked at Long Chen and said.
At this moment, Liao Yuhuang and the others, who were supposed to continue the show, were stopped because of Yu Qianxue. They looked at the two, seemingly very interested in their bet.
What kind of melodramatic thing is this? Long Chen was speechless. I was here to marry the princess, that's right, but the key is, I wasn't marrying you, was it?
"Sorry, I'm not interested in this kind of gambling. I feel it's a bit inappropriate for me to sit here, so I won't disturb your enjoyment." As he spoke, Long Chen got up and left.
"Brother Long, please wait."
At this moment, the woman in yellow holding the flute spoke.
