Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 5230 The Bindings of Love
Chapter 5230 The Bindings of Love
As Long Chen and the Dragonblood warriors left the High Firmament Academy, all eyes were on them. The disciples from both the head academy and the branch academy felt a mix of emotions that they couldn’t quite identify. They knew the Dragonblood Legion’s destination was the Endless Desolation, a primordial land teeming with secrets and dangers. It was a place shrouded in mystery, yet filled with hope—some believed it held the greatest secrets of the nine heavens and ten lands.
Many disciples wished to accompany them, but they knew they weren’t qualified. Even those who had awakened their Heavenly Fate Disks didn’t dare claim they could stand alongside the Dragonblood warriors. They understood that only those at the peak of power could venture into the Endless Desolation. If they joined, they would only hinder the others.
This realization filled them with a profound sense of loss. They had encountered a peerless expert in Long Chen, but they weren’t worthy to follow him. Before meeting Long Chen, they had considered themselves powerful heavenly geniuses. But after seeing his strength, they realized they were just frogs at the bottom of a well.
From Long Chen, they glimpsed a vast world beyond their imagination. They now understood what it truly meant to be a genius. They longed to follow him and see even more of this vast world, but they knew they were too weak to do so.
In the rear of the academy, Yu Qingxuan watched with tear-filled eyes as Long Chen and the others departed. Her voice trembled as she spoke to herself, “I know you want to protect me, but I also want to protect you. The one I love most in this world, wait for me. I will take back the power that’s rightfully mine.”
She turned back to the statue, a sacred light flickering in her eyes. The Jewel Blood Jade Orchid held by the statue suddenly bloomed, releasing divine light. In an instant, Yu Qingxuan’s figure disappeared, drawn into the world within the Jewel Blood Jade Orchid.
...
The flying boat whistled through the void. Watching the academy grow smaller and smaller in their view, everyone was filled with various emotions. They were about to enter a new world—one filled with dangers but also countless hidden treasures.
Aside from the Dragonblood Legion, three others were on board: Mu Qingyun[1], Luo Bing, and Luo Ning. Luo Bing and Luo Ning were particularly excited because they knew Long Chen was leading them in search of the violet blood race. They had been separated from their family for a long time and couldn’t help but feel worried.
However, they hid their concerns from Long Chen as they didn’t want to burden him. Now, knowing they were about to search for their family, they were filled with anticipation.
“Guo Ran, this flying boat is so ancient. Our Dragonblood Legion has a reputation to uphold. Can’t you get us a flashier one?” grumbled Gu Yang.
“There’s no way around it. I’m way too busy. I’m even planning new battle armor and weapons for everyone. I wish I could split one day into two. Do you think I have time to worry about a flying boat? Boss Gu Yang, just bear with it!” replied Guo Ran helplessly.
This flying boat was only on the level of an Eternal divine weapon, which was not really suited for the Dragonblood Legion’s status. But just as Guo Ran said, he was swamped with work. He didn’t even have time to take a breather.
“I’m not complaining for myself, but our boss is a peerless hero. Don’t you think it’s unsuitable for him to be riding in this old boat?” complained Gu Yang.
“I know, but I can’t do anything about it!” Guo Ran shrugged.
“Actually, there is a way!” Mu Qingyun interjected suddenly.
“Ah, Beauty Qingyun, what idea do you have?” Guo Ran’s eyes brightened.
“No matter how old the flying boat is, as long as you can find a good mount, it won’t matter!” chuckled Mu Qingyun.
Guo Ran slapped his leg and exclaimed, “That’s right, let’s capture a powerful demonic beast to pull the flying boat! Something flashy, like a Human Emperor demonic beast! Haha, Beauty Qingyun, you’re brilliant!”
“But where are we supposed to find a Human Emperor demonic beast?” asked Li Qi.
“It’ll be up to luck. Don’t worry, as long as Boss is here, we definitely won’t have a peaceful journey!” snickered Guo Ran.
At the front of the flying boat was a private room with the best view. Only Bai Shishi and Long Chen were there.
“What are you smiling at?” Long Chen asked, noticing that Bai Shishi had been watching him with a smile ever since they boarded the boat.
“I’m happy I can be alone with you,” Bai Shishi replied, her smile full of warmth and contentment.
Seeing her like this, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. This prideful goddess, who once looked down on everyone, was now content just to be with him.
Long Chen gently pulled her into his embrace. Bai Shishi trembled slightly, feeling his strong arms around her, his warm chest, and hearing his heartbeat. She couldn’t find any words to speak. At this moment, she felt like Long Chen belonged solely to her.
“I’m sorry. I really am selfish. I’m not trying to be jealous of big sister Qingxuan, but I just like having you all to myself,” said Bai Shishi, her tears soaking Long Chen’s robes.
Hearing this, Long Chen felt even worse. He said, “I’m the one who should be sorry. If reincarnation exists, I hope that in every life, I’ll meet one of you, so I can love each of you with all my heart.”
Thinking about the women who loved him so deeply, Long Chen felt that he could never repay them, no matter how hard he tried. No matter how strong one was, the bindings of love were inescapable.

Bai Shishi smiled, content with Long Chen’s words. It was enough to know that in his heart, she was on the same level as Yu Qingxuan and the others.
Just as Long Chen and Bai Shishi were lost in this tender moment, a heaven-shaking roar filled the air, and a massive figure blocked their path.
It was a rhinoceros, covered in golden scales, with a single horn jutting from its head. Its body was as large as a mountain. As the flying boat passed over its territory, the beast roared, unleashing a torrent of golden flames at them.
Long Chen’s temper flared. But before he could make a move, Bai Shishi had flown out to confront the beast.
1. She is a sword cultivator from the academy, taught by Long Chen and Yue Zifeng... I think she's interested in Yue Zifeng, the blockhead. ☜
