Fang Lijuan immediately stopped Long Aotian from doing anything stupid, then she said coldly, "How are you going to kill him? With your feeble strength?"
Long Aotian gritted his teeth to calm himself down, then he started walking back and forth thinking about this situation. He was ready for Fang Lijuan to reject him, but he believed it was because she feared that her powerful family would not allow their union.
As such, Long Aotian was prepared to show his worth to her family. And if that did not work, wait until his strength is enough to use force to suppress her family until they allow them to be together.
But now, things seem a little complicated. After a few seconds, Long Aotian looked at Fang Lijuan and asked, "How come you are engaged to him? Do you have any feelings for that guy?"
"Do not insult this Goddess. How could I have any feelings for such a disgusting person," replied Fang Lijuan with a look of disdain on her face. Words that were very comforting to Long Aotian.
"As for the reason we are engaged, it is because of our Divine Clan."
"Divine Clan? How so?"
"His Huang Clan and my Fang Clan are the two most powerful clans of the Divine Dao League, with each of us being the only clans with two Great Emperors."
"As such, for countless generations, when two Heaven Chosens or Divine Child appeared in these clans, the two families will betrothed them to each other in an attempt to either support one another for the Heaven Will Throne, or to cultivate a next generation with a very pure and powerful bloodline."
"As it turns out, in this generation, this Goddess and Huang Min are the Divine Child of our clans, so we were betrothed ever since we were born."
Long Aotian looked pensive after hearing this.
"How does your clan decide the status of Dao Child?"
Fang Lijuan was a little surprised by this sudden question, and she could guess Long Aotian's thought, but she just shook her head and replied, "Our bloodlines were tested after we were born to determine our positions as Divine Child."
"Bloodline this, bloodline that, everything is about bloodline," said Long Aotian with a raised tone, almost screaming. "I have heard that the other Heaven Chosen do not have bloodlines, couldn't your family just accept a talented person without bloodlines?"
Fang Lijuan just sighed after hearing this and said with a lowered head, "Our family has been preaching the concept of bloodline superiority for millions of years. Do you think that they would just change their mind just because of your words?"
Long Aotian's face became ugly after hearing this. Although he knew that these powerful and ancient clans had strict rules, he did not expect that they reached the point of being dogmatic.
"In the end, I still have to kill this Huang Min," replied Long Aotian with a ferocious look on his face, this time however, Fang Lijuan did not say anything.
Nonetheless, Long Aotian soon reigned in his anger. He also acknowledged the fact that his Goddess was right: he was in no way a match for Huang Min, at least for now.
Long Aotian has seen the battle between Li Jun and Fang Lijuan and he knew how powerful she actually was. And according to her, this Huang Min is not too far off from her strength. On top of that, Long Aotian knew that his injuries were not completely healed. At best, he could only use about 70-80% of his strength.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, an idea suddenly appeared in Long Aotian's mind, so he said excitedly. "Since I do not have the strength to kill him personally, I can still use poison."
"Poison?" asked Fang Lijuan with a look of shock and doubt from her face, before saying:
"What gave such a strange idea?"
"Since there are rare herbs that can heal my injuries so quickly, then there must be poison herbs powerful enough to kill Huang Min."
However, Fang Lijuan quickly shook her head before saying, "Not to mention that with Huang Min's powerful cultivation, there are only a few herbs that are effective on him, how are you going to get him to take the poison."
"So, you are saying it is possible."
"Technically speaking, yes. However, the herb used has to be very powerful, specific and rare."
"You just have to tell me what kind of herb is needed," replied Long Aotian with a confident smile on his face. "As for how to make Huang Min take the poison, I have my method."
Fang Lijuan still had a puzzled look on her face, however, she did not want to extinguish Long Aotian's excitement, so she described the herbs that are strong enough to kill someone like Huang Min.
After checking his space ring, Long Aotian discovered that he did not have any of these herbs. However, he was not discouraged. As a man chosen by Heaven, all he needed to do was search and he would find what he desired.
As such, he instantly caught Fang Lijuan by surprise and kissed her in the cheek, before running out in a direction, leaving only a blushing Goddess and Long Aotian's last words:
"Wait for me Juan'er, when I come back, I promise that the bastard Huang Min will be more than dead."
A few minutes after Long Aotian's departure, Fang Lijuan's blushing instantly turned cold and indifferent. She took out silk handkerchief and wiped out her face with disgust, then she muttered to herself:
"It seemed that the Spiritual Suggestion Wine worked better than anticipated. I thought I would have to spend a lot more time hinting at him about the use of poison."
After saying that, Fang Lijuan left the roof and returned to her room, waiting for the outcomes of things.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian rushed to the nearest forest near him and started searching for the herb he needed. However, even after searching for a week, Long Aotian did not find anything, so he became a little discouraged.
Just as he was about to give up his search and headed out to a different place, suddenly a powerful flying demonic attacked him. Long Aotian immediately fought back, however, he soon realized that this demonic beast was in fact a Tier 4 Demonic beast.
So, he immediately ran away. With his injured body, it would be suicidal to fight with it. However, the demonic beast had different thoughts. It kept chasing Long Aotian and attacking him.
After a few minutes of no success, the Demonic beast seemed very angry, so it opened its mouth to gather a powerful lightning, then shot at Long Aotian.
Boom!
A powerful explosion resulted after this attack. Although Long Aotian jumped in time to evade the attack, the shockwave created by the blast still hit him. Unfortunately for him, he happened to be running close to a cliff, so he was sent over the cliff due to the attack.
Long Aotian cursed the beast out loud before trying to use his origin qi to hang on on the cliff' side, however, his injuries suddenly acted up forcing him to throw a big mouthful of blood and falling down the cliff.
Knowing that this might be the end of him, Long Aotian used his origin qi to protect his body, then closed his eyes hoping for the best.
However, Long Aotian was not splashed to death as he anticipated, instead, he fell inside a river or water source of some kind.
After swimming out the river, he praised his luck once again before navigating around looking for a place to exit. Soon, an enticing scent attracted Long Aotian and he followed it.
There he saw a very clear lake with rainbows emanating from it. He swallowed his saliva as a sudden thirst suddenly overcame him. Without hesitation, he drank a few mouthfuls of the clear water.
Immediately afterwards, Long Aotian felt a very mysterious aura traveling all around his body, healing him of all his injuries--including the hidden ones that he suffered from the past.
Long Aotian groaned in pleasure for a few minutes before getting back to his senses. He looked around to check whether anyone heard the sound he previously made before sighing in relief.
Then, he checked his body thoroughly. To his surprise, not only were all his injuries healed, but even his strength had greatly increased. Most noticeably was his fleshly body. After going through and surviving the power of chaotic space, his fleshly body seemed to have dramatically strengthened, this further increased his stamina and defensive ability.
After smiling for a while, Long Aotian looked around him before noticing a strange thing floating in the middle of the pond he just drank from. After closer observation, Long Aotian suddenly started laughing out loud as he realized that this was the exact spiritual herb that he was searching for.
"I'm truly the illegitimate child of the Goddess of Luck," smiled Long Aotian with a big grin on his face.
