Long Haochen, a Calamity Capable of Toppling Nations

Li Xin spoke beautifully and confidently, cleanly and decisively. Long Haochen could not help giving her a thumbs-up. He had not expected his nominal older sister to be not only powerful, but also so eloquent.

"Little brother, step back a little and make some room for your sister."

With that, Li Xin drew her twin swords from behind her back, tracing a series of strange paths through the air. At the same time, pale golden light energy burst forth from her body.

"Neighhh—"

A clear, ringing whinny sounded as a tall, sturdy steed with wings on its back emerged from those strange trails.

The horse's mane was the exact same color as Li Xin's hair—pink. It was eight chi long and six chi tall. Though the wings on its back were not particularly broad, they possessed an unusual beauty. There was a protrusion atop its head, while its eyes, slightly different from the color of its coat, were rose-red. Those rose-colored eyes radiated an imposing aura.

The moment the steed appeared, a dense aura of energy erupted from its body and swept across the area.

Li Xin sprang up onto its back and looked coldly down at the two burly men. She pointed her sword forward with her right hand, her presence utterly commanding.

Li Xin's nickname, Hell Rose, had not actually come from her herself, but from the steed beneath her.

This horse was an immature, early-stage fifth-rank Rose Unicorn. Its strength was equivalent to that of a human fourth-rank profession, a rank higher than Li Xin herself. With the Rose Unicorn's aid, Li Xin alone could deal with the two burly men.

Only after seeing Li Xin reveal her mount did the two men realize they had kicked an iron plate. If they did not flee now, when would they? Without another word, they hoisted their companion's corpse onto their shoulders and ran away in panic.

Li Xin jumped down from the Rose Unicorn, reached out to pinch Long Haochen's little cheek, and smiled. "Little brother, what are you doing at the Adventurer's Guild? Did you come to accept a mission too, just like your sister?"

Long Haochen gently slapped away Li Xin's mischievous little hand. "Sister, the second mission Teacher assigned me was to accept and complete a second-rank mission at the Adventurer's Guild."

Li Xin took Long Haochen's hand. "I happen to be accepting a mission too. Let's go together."

Long Haochen successfully accepted a second-rank mission to hunt magical beasts. The location was Bright Moon Swamp, a hundred li north of Bright Moon City. To keep Long Haochen company, Li Xin also accepted a third-rank mission located in Bright Moon Swamp.

To save time, Li Xin brought Long Haochen onto her Rose Unicorn. Li Xin sat in front, while Long Haochen sat behind her.

"Little brother, sit tight. We're taking off!"

The moment Li Xin finished speaking, another ringing whinny sounded. The Rose Unicorn flapped its beautiful wings and soared into the air, flying toward Bright Moon Swamp.

This was not Long Haochen's first time in the sky. When he had been little, he had ridden on his grandfather's shoulders. Now, however, he was riding on his sister's mount.

A fierce gust of wind blew over, making Long Haochen somewhat unsteady. Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around Li Xin's slender waist, with half his face pressed against her lovely back.

"Ah—"

Li Xin cried out. Long Haochen's hands were pressed tightly against her abdomen, and a warm, strange sensation spread from her stomach through her entire body, making her tremble slightly.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

Long Haochen hurriedly released her and lifted his head away from her back.

Li Xin naturally knew that Long Haochen had not done it on purpose. She had only cried out instinctively because of a woman's shyness.

"It's fine. For safety's sake, you should still..."

As she continued, Li Xin's voice grew softer and softer until Long Haochen could barely hear her.

Only after receiving Li Xin's permission did Long Haochen wrap his arms around her waist again. His little hands rested obediently on her lower abdomen without making any further movements.

Li Xin lowered her head to glance at the little hands on her stomach. Her face had already flushed crimson. In all her life, this was the first time she had been so intimate with a man.

Li Xin, Li Xin, what exactly are you worried about? Haochen is only a child. What improper thoughts could he possibly have?

The scene of her meeting Long Haochen at Hao Yue Sub-Temple surfaced in her mind. She also recalled the time Long Haochen had been smothered in her embrace. Now that she thought about it, that feeling...

Li Xin did not dare think any further. At the same time, she silently cursed herself for being a beast.

Long Haochen behind her naturally had no idea about Li Xin's many thoughts. He merely rested half his head obediently against her back, breathing in the faint, refreshing scent of roses.

Unlike Yue Ye's seductive temperament, Li Xin was filled from head to toe with fiery passion, giving Long Haochen a different experience.

Long Haochen thought that having an older sister like this who cared for him would be quite nice.

"Haochen, once you get there, you're not allowed to casually acknowledge other sisters, hold other girls' hands, or go shopping with girls..."

Yue Ye's words still rang in his ears, yet Long Haochen had long since treated them as mere background noise.

Not only had he acknowledged Li Xin as his sister, he had even held her hand. Although he had not gone shopping with Li Xin yet, if Yue Ye saw the two of them like this now, she would definitely fly into a rage.

Feng Xiu had taught him how to handle his relationships with his various girlfriends, but Li Xin and Yue Ye were not his girlfriends yet. How could he use those methods to "deal with" them?

Besides, he was still a virgin and had no practical experience whatsoever!

The more Long Haochen thought about it, the more his head hurt. His breathing became somewhat rapid, and the air he exhaled brushed against Li Xin's back, making her shudder faintly.

Did he... did he have some improper thoughts about me?

The thought only lingered for a moment before Li Xin firmly rejected it.

Li Xin felt that it was merely her own imagination at work. Long Haochen was only a ten-year-old child, while she was an eighteen-year-old girl whose heart had already begun to stir. Her thoughts were far more complicated than Long Haochen's. This was probably all her own problem.

Li Xin took a deep breath and slightly calmed her wildly pounding heart.

Li Xin knew very clearly that she had already fallen for Long Haochen.

Not only did Long Haochen possess a face even more beautiful than a woman's, his talent also far surpassed hers. Li Xin did not dare imagine what Long Haochen would become in the future, but she was certain of one thing: Long Haochen would definitely become a monster capable of toppling nations.

When one came across something good, even if one did not want it for the time being, one still had to hold on tightly to it, lest one regret it bitterly after someone else took it away.

Having understood this, Li Xin suddenly felt enlightened, and the corners of her lips curved upward slightly.

Li Xin turned back to look at Long Haochen leaning against her back and smiled faintly.

Their thoughts were different, but before they knew it, they had finally arrived at their destination: Bright Moon Swamp.
