Chapter 175 – Call Me “Grandfather” Three Times

Long Chen had defeated Chu Yunxi, and Chu Tianxiong had been forced back by Dongfang Xuanxiao. Everyone watched in a daze as this unbelievable scene unfolded.

“The match is not over yet,” said Dongfang Yunxiao. The audience was puzzled. Chu Yunxi was currently struggling to breathe and was no match for Long Chen. Did Dongfang Yunxiao really want to wait until he admitted defeat himself to consider the match ended?

They suddenly recalled the bet between Chu Yunxi and Long Chen. They had wagered that whoever admitted defeat would become the “grandson” of his opponent. And since Chu Yunxi wasn’t unconscious, it was true that he wasn’t considered defeated yet.

A thought flashed through Long Chen’s mind. He seemed to know what Dongfang Xuanxiao wanted him to do.

Since the beginning, although Dongfang Xuanxiao never said it out loud, he had been silently protecting Long Chen by taking his side. Long Chen wasn’t an idiot, so he was well aware of this.

Goodness, with this deity looking over me, nothing can stop me now. Long Chen was overjoyed. He couldn’t care less about the expression on Chu Tianxiong’s face. With Dongfang Xuanxiao protecting him, he could do whatever he wanted.

The other Grand Elders also noticed the tiny difference.

Is Lord Xuanxiao favoring Long Chen?

This thought surfaced in many people’s minds, especially Jin Luan’s and Chu Tianxiong’s, who strongly felt that Dongfang Xuanxiao didn’t seem to like Jin Sheng’en and Chu Yunxi very much. Instead, Long Chen had been secretly protected several times.

Chu Tianxiong’s and Jin Luan’s eyes locked. They had a bad feeling in their hearts.

On the other hand, Gu Batian had always been happy for Long Chen. At this point, he acted with even less reservations. He let out a guffaw and said, “Hey, brat, do you still remember the bet between you guys? Admit defeat now and give your grandfather a new brother!”

Chu Tianxiong’s expression changed the moment Gu Batian spoke. He glared coldly and asked, “Gu Batian, what did you say?”

Gu Batian pursed his lips, too lazy to reply. He watched Long Chen expectantly, who was now standing next to Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi had just crawled out of the mud and was covered in it from head to toe, carrying a rotting stench that he couldn’t clean off. Blood and muddy water covered his face, making him lose his impression of a dignified gentleman and making him look very ugly.

“Grandson, admit defeat. It’s too smelly here, and I, your grandfather, would like to leave,” said Long Chen with a grin, patting Chu Yunxi’s shoulder a few times.

At this moment, Chu Yunxi only had enough energy left to prevent himself from sinking into the mud. So how could he have the strength to fight back?

He was in a pitiful state, and his elders and friends were watching! Chu Yunxi almost wanted to kill himself!

Looking up at Long Chen’s devious smile, which made him look like a smug weasel, Chu Yunxi was initially filled with fear, though the feeling soon turned into terror.

Long Chen’s smile was the substance of his nightmares.

“Let me go, Long Chen. Show mercy ...” begged Chu Yunxi hoarsely, his voice shaking.

“Solving problems at the root and killing off my enemies is more your grandfather’s style. Don’t you know this already?” Long Chen did not intend to back down.

“What the hell do you want?”

Long Chen smiled and gestured. “What do you mean? It’s time for you to fulfill your end of the bet. Kneel, admit defeat, then call me ‘grandfather’ three times. Isn’t that simple?”

The moment he spoke, Chu Tianxiong and the others from the Turquoise family were on the brink of rage. Long Chen was humiliating Chu Yunxi and also the entire Chu family by extension. If news of this spread, the reputation of the Chu family would be tarnished completely.

“Long Chen, do not overstep the line for a moment of indulgence. Let Yunxi go today, and I will let you live in the future.” Although Chu Tianxiong couldn’t save Chu Yunxi, he could threaten Long Chen verbally.

He was a master of the late Heavenly Core Realm and he ruled an outer family with many masters under his command. Dongfang Xuanxiao was the only one present who wouldn’t give him face.

But Long Chen wouldn’t either.

“Grand Elder, are you threatening me? But that isn’t enough to scare me. I’m just following the rules of the competition and the bet; I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. If I lost, I would also admit defeat, kowtow, and call him ‘grandfather’ three times. How could a man not keep his word? Or is that a habit of the Chu family?”

Long Chen did not back down, not taking Chu Tianxiong seriously at all. Everyone was torn.

On the one hand, they were shocked at Long Chen’s boldness. On the other hand, they were also worried that he wouldn’t escape the sly, old fox after today.

“Lord Xuanxiao! I hope that you could give me face, and give the Turquoise family face too!”

A green vein bulged from Chu Tianxiong’s forehead. He no longer spoke to Long Chen, and pressured Dongfang Xuanxiao instead.

The Turquoise family was one of the nine outer families, and they had contributed greatly to the Lingwu family. Therefore, Chu Tianxiong hoped that Dongfang Xuanxiao would give him face.

Any inner family member would have given Chu Tianxiong face in this situation.

Under Chu Yunyao’s persuasion, Dongfang Tianyu summoned his courage and said, “Fourth Uncle, let’s end this. It’s meaningless to continue arguing and waste more time.”

“That’s enough.” Dongfang Xuanxiao’s expression didn’t change, though his eyes fell on Chu Tianxiong. He enunciated every word slowly as he said, “Are you pressuring me right now?”

“I wouldn’t dare!” exclaimed Chu Tianxiong.

“Let me tell you this: I, Xuanxiao, am in charge of the inner family qualifiers today. I do what I want. And since we have set the rules, we should act accordingly. If you speak again, I will ask you to leave.”

Dongfang Xuanxiao’s command cut off all possibility of Chu Tianxiong arguing. “You!”

Chu Tianxiong was about to rage, but when he thought about the man’s powerful background and strength, he forced himself to stay put and remained silent.

Dongfang Yunxiao was now obviously favoring Long Chen. Everyone was privately wondering what Long Chen had done to make Dongfang Xuanxiao favor him so much.

Lord Xuanxiao’s personality has always been hard to place. He’s always been different from the other inner family members, so we’ve never been able to guess his thoughts ...

With Xuanxiao protecting him, Long Chen was emboldened.

Why is he favoring me so much?

Long Chen wasn’t an idiot. Even he noticed that Dongfang Xuanxiao was willing to anger a Grand Elder of an outer family for his sake.

He turned to look at this terrifyingly dignified man, but he couldn’t figure him out.

This is my chance. I’m in dire need of a powerful backer. Xuanxiao? Mhm, you’ll do.

With that thought, Long Chen relaxed.

He reached out to grab Chu Yunxi’s collar and lifted him up, faking a friendly smile.

“Little grandson, are you going to admit defeat?”

Chu Yunxi was trembling all over. He wanted to escape from Long Chen’s devilish claws, but his ego told him not to admit defeat.

“Long Chen, I was wrong ... I am no match for you, so please, just let me go ...”

This was Chu Yunxi’s limit.

“Yeah, I’m waiting to let you go. Quick, call me ‘grandfather’ and admit defeat. Then everything will be over,” mused Long Chen playfully. All eyes were on him now.

“No!” Chu Yunxi shook his head determinedly, then he turned to look at Chu Tianxiong, begging with his eyes. But Long Chen forced his head back. “Don’t look at your grandfather, he’s too old and useless. It’s better for you to take me as your grandfather. From today on, I’ll protect you, and I’ll punch anyone who dares touch you. What do you think?

The Chu family was exploding in rage when they saw his emboldened behavior, but they couldn’t do anything because Dongfang Yunxiao was in the way and was favoring Long Chen.

Chu Yunxi remained silent. Long Chen snickered and said, “Looks like you’re quite stubborn. Let’s do it this way: I’ll start taking your clothes off now, one piece at a time. There’s no way you’ll refuse to admit defeat before you’re completely naked, right?”

“You bastard!” Chu Yunyao was sobbing with anger. Long Chen wanted to strip Chu Yunxi in front of so many people?! If he really was stripped naked, how would he live out the rest of his life?

“This brat is vicious!” commented Gu Batian approvingly.

As for the women, the ones on Long Chen’s side like Yin Mengyao and Liu Lan, they were privately calling him a lecher, though they were also worried about his safety. He was currently humiliating the Turquoise Grand Elder’s family after all.

“Long Chen ...” Chu Tianxiong clenched his fists. If it wasn’t for Dongfang Xuanxiao holding him back, he would have attacked already.

Then Long Chen tugged on Chu Yunxi’s clothes and grinned. “You should hurry up. I don’t want everyone to think I’m gay. But you’re so fair and tender, I’m sure you’ll look fine naked, right?”

Although he was smiling, the evilness in his tone made Chu Yunxi tremble.

When he pictured himself completely naked in front of so many people, his final layer of psychological defense crumbled. If even Chu Tianxiong couldn’t save him, then he had no choice but to save himself. Although it was embarrassing, it was better than being stripped naked.

“Long Chen, Long Chen! I yield, I yield!” cried Chu Yunxi fearfully, then he started to kneel in the mud.

“It’s inconvenient for you to kneel, so you don’t need to do that. My good grandson, will you call me ‘grandfather’ three times?”

“Grandfather! Grandfather! Grandfather!”

Holding back his anger, Chu Yunxi quickly uttered the dreaded word three times. His face and ears were deep red, and he was almost going to cry from embarrassment because he could feel the disappointment in Chu Tianxiong’s gaze.

“Good boy.”

Before everyone realized what had just happened, Long Chen suddenly replied and tossed him in Chu Tianxiong’s direction.

Chu Yunxi had suffered enough today.

Chu Tianxiong caught him, but he was severely injured and needed time to heal.

The Turquoise Grand Elder had lost all face today and was too humiliated to stay. Every member of their family glared daggers at Long Chen, then they turned to leave the Mortal Caves without even turning back.

Dongfang Xuanxiao ignored them. He looked at Long Chen for a while, then he gestured for him to return and said, “Long Chen versus Chu Yunxi; Long Chen wins. There are four participants left, namely Jin Sheng’en, Yin Mengyao, Gu Cheng, and Long Chen. We shall switch locations for round two.”

The two winners would be decided from the four of them.

According to the rules, Yin Mengyao would fight Jin Sheng’en, while Long Chen would fight Gu Cheng.
