Chapter 1738: Chapter 913: A Sudden Confession
Long time no see, Yangyang.
Actually, when Qing Chen returned this time, she was already guarding in the sky.
She watched Qing Chen fail again and again, crashing and bleeding, but never intervened because Qing Chen wouldnât allow it.
However, several times, when she saw Qing Chen almost crashing to the ground, her heart was in her throat.
"Weâve only just met, and your bike tire rolled right over my face," Qing Chen said with a laugh.
Yangyang carefully released him: "Iâve been escorting you from the sky for seven days, a little compensation isnât too much to ask, is it? Just a few days ago, I deflected a missile, humph, if it werenât for me, the entire training base wouldâve been engulfed in flames!"
"Yes, yes, Yangyang is the best," Qing Chen said, "Letâs go, the Kingdomâs dying counterattack should be over, no need to worry about them anymore. Once I finish this training, Iâll personally go retrieve the Kingâs eyeball."
Yangyang checked Qing Chenâs injuries, only to find that after removing the Flying Squirrel Suit, he was covered in scars, not a piece of intact skin.
She said seriously, "Qing Chen, you canât keep overworking your body like this. That last challenge you might have been able to complete, but training has become mechanical inertia, and with your body getting injured repeatedly, your control over it is decreasing. Thatâs why you were slightly off at the end. Listen to me, rest for a few days, then accomplish it in one go."
Qing Chen thought for a moment: "But I donât have much time left, Iâve already deliberately lured Chen Yu, to kill him in the 001 Taboo Land. Only this way, can the Chen Clanâs Aerial Fortress and military forces become our allies."
Yangyang said: "Itâs just one cycle of travel, just avoid him. Heâs after you, heâs not going anywhere!"
"No..."
Yangyang said: "I saved you again, right? Listen to me, rest for a day, consider it a favor returned."
"Alright, rest for a day!"
Saying this, Qing Chen headed towards the training base, Yangyang followed behind, naturally holding Qing Chenâs left hand.
Qing Chenâs left hand stiffened slightly, then relaxed.
The two walked back side by side, Yangyangâs lips curled into a slight smile.
Liu Dezhu was piloting the helicopter hovering in the sky, now he wasnât afraid of fighter jets at all, because they came with Yangyang.
With Yangyang around, fighter jets were useless.
He said on the communication channel: "Xiao Qi, howâs it going over there? Iâm going to lower the altitude now to pick up the boss."
But then he saw the helicopter slowly descend, only for an inexplicable gravity to wrap around the Shellless American Lion, actually pulling it back up into the sky.
Liu Dezhu: "... Pickup failed."
Xiao Qi was shocked on the communications channel: "Did something happen to the boss?!"
"Oh, the boss is fine, itâs just if I insist on picking him up, I might get into trouble," Liu Dezhu piloted the helicopter straight back, not caring about the young couple strolling on the ground.
After all, itâs at most twenty kilometers, they could just walk back.
Liu Dezhu leisurely asked on the communication channel, "Have you guys finished the battle over there?"
"Not yet, dealing with those bastards on the north slope, weâll be done soon!"
"Then Iâll go back to the base first, I heard Alice bought a lot of ingredients today to make us a French feast."
Xiao Qi asked puzzledly: "Eh, arenât you going to continue assisting the boss with training?"
"Heâs not training anymore," Liu Dezhu replied.
"Huh? Why did the training stop," Xiao Qi found this incredible.
Liu Dezhu said: "I think thereâs only one person in the world who can make him stop, isnât that person right here?"
"True, then you go back first, Iâll definitely finish the battle before mealtime," Xiao Qi said.
Even if youâre an Orcs Warrior, you canât delay everyoneâs lunch, can you?
Originally, Xiao Qi had planned to take the Orcs Warriors back to the Inner World for research by Scientist No. 2, but Qing Chen said it wasnât necessary.
Orcs Warriors are just industrial waste from the West Continent, if Scientist No. 2 gave up scientific ethics and integrity, he could also create this thing.
No reference value.

"When did you get promoted to A-Class?" Qing Chen asked, "Was it the Revolverâs doing?"
"Yes," Yangyang said with fake resentment, "Seeing more and more A-Class around you, and that Jindai Yunlo bringing two A-Class to compete for favor, if I donât get promoted to A-Class, I canât sit still."
Qing Chen: "...What the hell is Jindai Yunlo."
Yangyang said with a smile: "That Revolver unrelated to fate, I tried it forty times in a row just to get one upgrading bullet. Usually, itâs either a blank cartridge, downgrade bullet, firework bullet, or freezing bullet."
Yangyang: "The freezing bullet is truly cold, even hiding in a bed doesnât help, you can only surround yourself with a campfire. With a downgrade bullet, you have to hide so no one discovers you, lest they treat you as a little rookie to be bullied."
The Revolver unrelated to fate is indeed formidable, it can help Transcendents understand higher realms in advance.
Just like how Qing Chen saw the God Cutter in the Superconductor World ahead of time, it actually has decisive significance.
However, before this, Transcendents must endure a weak period of forty days or more, if they encounter an enemy during this time, itâs easy to die.
Thinking of those moments, Yangyang must have had a hard time. But when I was in danger, she was by my side, and when she was in danger, I wasnât by hers.
"Iâm sorry," Qing Chen said seriously.
Yangyang immediately got the hint: "Well, youâre someone destined for great things. I canât delay your time, because so many people need you to plan for the future. Donât worry, I donât blame you. Just give me a kiss later... huh?"
Yangyang was caught off guard when a kiss landed on her right cheek. She suddenly turned to Qing Chen: "Have you thought it through?!"
It was too sudden.
So sudden that she couldnât quite process it for a moment.
Qing Chen nodded: "I canât always let a girl like you be so proactive while I show no reaction, Iâm not just a Merkaba."
Yangyang shook her head: "If itâs something moved by emotion, I donât want it, I want it to be your true feelings. Iâve said it before, I can wait."
Qing Chen smiled: "Sometimes, I feel very grateful to you because when my brother left, you were right by my side. When I was undergoing tribulations on the Barents Sea, you were also by my side. When I needed support in Osaka, you flew there without hesitation. But I also know that gratitude doesnât equate to feelings, so I was never certain if I felt more gratitude or more affection towards you."
"And then?" Yangyang tilted her head and asked.
"When my brother left, I had a dream. I dreamt that I lived like an ordinary person for seventeen years," Qing Chen said.
"Youâve told me that before, in the little house in City No. 5," she said.
"But in that dream, it wasnât just that small house in City No. 5, there was also a school," Qing Chen said: "In that dream, we were in the same class in kindergarten, the same class in elementary school, the same class in middle school, and the same class in high school."
Qing Chen stopped walking and looked at Yangyang: "That dream was actually my brotherâs greatest wish. He hoped that our family wouldnât have to bear any responsibilities and could live together in peace. I donât have the power to make that decision. However, in that dream, the corner that belonged to me, from age two and a half in kindergarten onward for the next fifteen years, you were always there. It seemed like my brotherâs wish for me was just to go to school in peace and get into Qinghe University... As for how I got in, he didnât really consider that, so he left me a corner."
Yangyang was stunned.
This was probably Qing Chenâs first confession to her.
Initially, she thought she would have to wait a long, long time, wait for the world to reach peace one day, when all weapons are put away, and only then would Qing Chen have the heart and energy to consider his feelings.
Perhaps she could wait until then, or maybe she couldnât. If she could, that would be best, but if not, there was nothing she could do.
Yangyang lowered her head and felt her heart beating rapidly. She wanted to change the subject, so she asked: "Rereading the books in the dream, taking exams once a month, wasnât it exhausting?"
Qing Chen said: "Because you were in the classroom, I wanted to go to school every day."
In the next moment, Yangyang suddenly took Qing Chen upwards, and the two of them soared straight up into the clouds. The soft, delicate clouds were like a bed, like a quilt.
In the clouds, Qing Chen exclaimed: "Hey? Wait, donât tear my clothes! Wait!"
"Oh oh, sorry, I got a little too excited, too quickly, too quickly. Having obtained you, I must cherish," Yangyang said with a cheerful smile, holding Qing Chenâs hand as they flew towards the training base.
While flying in the sky, Yangyang suddenly asked: "Actually... do you think that maybe you wonât survive against Chen Yu, and thatâs why you said all those things to me. With your personality, you should have made me wait a long, long time. You wanted to challenge life and death, go back to kill Chen Yu, but later realized you really couldnât break through in such a short time. So youâre worried you might die, and if you did, there are some things you wouldnât have the chance to say."
Qing Chen was silent for a long time: "Yes. Not just that, I also worry I might not make it out of the Taboo Land alive. Too many people died there, and Iâm nothing special."
"So thatâs the truth," Yangyang said.
Qing Chen: "Hmm?"
Yangyang: "A personâs words are kind when they are about to die, at this moment you wouldnât lie to me."
Qing Chen: "..."
"Donât you think this is a bit selfish?" Yangyang asked: "Leaving a seed in my heart then calmly facing danger. If you died, I would never forget you in this life and find it hard to like anyone else."
Qing Chen was silent again for a long time: "I want to be selfish once, regardless of whether I come back alive, donât forget me."
For nearly half a year, Qing Chen had gradually lost the concept of selfishness. He had done so much for so many people, gradually neglecting himself.
But this one thing, he couldnât be selfless about.
Yangyang suddenly laughed: "Being selfish once is quite nice too, I will wait for you to come back."
Just as they were about to reach the training base, Yangyang said: "Iâve been waiting for you for so long, and you just confessed then died? Where am I supposed to go to argue about that? So, donât die."
"What if I really died," Qing Chen asked with a smile.
"If you died, I would probably be so sad that I awakened again, and by then I would go and kill all of Chen Yuâs blood relatives, then scatter your ashes into the sea," Yangyang said.
In Yangyangâs view, if Qing Chen died, she would certainly be incredibly, incredibly sad, so awakening as a demigod again seemed quite reasonable.
The two landed at the training base, and Alice saw Yangyang at the door: "In the time Iâve known Joker, Iâve always wondered what kind of girl could move him; now Iâve finally met her."
Yangyangâs eyes crinkled with a smile, but she boasted aloud: "Hmph, if he hesitated a little longer, I wouldnât have waited for him."
"Wash your hands and get ready for lunch. Iâve prepared a meal for you!" Alice said happily.
Unlike Sorel, she didnât pay attention to the outside battles, and sheâd just put on earplugs when sleeping.
Before, when the training base was cold and deserted, she always felt an unexplainable sense of loss. Now the training base was full of people, laughter filled the air, and some were even saying âhungryâ in clumsy English to her.
This warmth was very rare on ordinary days.
