Chapter 453: Frustrated Feiyun, Chen Changsheng: I Will Not Fall for Anyone

“Swish!”

Chen Changsheng appeared on top of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Seeing Chen Changsheng’s arrival, Feiyun immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

“Young Master, why are you back so early!”

“I haven’t finished my work yet.”

Looking at Feiyun’s smug expression, Chen Changsheng replied lightly.

“Being overly fixated on appearances will only lead to regret.”

“What do you mean by fixated on appearances, Young Master?”

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to become a handsome sword immortal, but first, you must be clear about your situation.”

“When you embark on the path of cultivation, cultivators already have a preliminary understanding of their own bodies.”

“Therefore, most cultivators in the cultivation world are not ugly.”

“If there truly is someone with a peculiar appearance, it’s either due to a special cultivation method or that person doesn’t care about looks.”

“Since you’ve been cultivating the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations, your figure has become increasingly bloated, and no matter what methods you use, you can’t shed the weight.”

“Did you not notice anything wrong in this situation?”

At these words, Feiyun’s expression instantly dropped.

“What do you mean, Young Master?”

“The literal meaning.”

“When you were at Mountain River Academy, you were injured by Yang Jian, but your recovery speed was the fastest.”

“The reason for this recovery speed is that it relies on your bloated fat.”

“The fat on your body is not simple fat, but the vitality and energy you’ve accumulated over the years.”

After hearing Chen Changsheng’s reply, Feiyun was completely dumbfounded.

“No, why didn’t anyone tell me this before?”

“Because this simple truth is too obvious for others to bother discussing.”

“You should be familiar with the term ‘transforming from a cocoon to a butterfly,’ as your Heavenly Silkworm Clan is essentially a ‘worm.’”

“Before a big green caterpillar turns into a butterfly, it must eat its fair share of plump white food. Do you think the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations skips this process?”

“You should have guessed who that sword’s owner is.”

“Without your fat, do you think you could grind away the rust on this sword?”

Saying this, Chen Changsheng patted Feiyun’s shoulder and added, “Of course, don’t be too sorrowful; it’s just a hundred or two hundred years of wasted effort, not a big deal.”

“And if you get too upset about it, I can’t help but mock you.”

“I wouldn’t teach you anything useful, precisely to avoid exhausting your fat.”

“But you, on the other hand, insistently wanted me to teach you things, and now you’ve gotten your wish.”

“The Sword God’s sword intent has helped you transform your fat into strength; you should be happy about that.”

“Hahaha!”

Faced with Chen Changsheng’s unabashed laughter, Feiyun found a corner to sulk alone.

After “resolving” Feiyun, Chen Changsheng approached Su Wan’er.

Looking at the well-read and graceful Su Wan’er, Chen Changsheng rubbed her head and said, “Girl, you don’t need to compare yourself to others.”

“Everyone has their own path, and if you compare too much, you’ll end up making the same mistakes as Feiyun.”

“But…”

Before Su Wan’er could finish, Chen Changsheng shook his head, interrupting her.

“I know what you want to say, and I also know what you want to do.”

“But I must tell you a harsh reality: what you desire in your heart will never come true.”

“I will not fall for anyone.”

“Why not?”

Traditional Simplified

Su Wan’er asked the question that troubled her heart.

Since meeting Chen Changsheng, Su Wan’er had been striving to change herself.

Although neither of them had openly stated it, they both understood in their hearts.

However, while the falling flowers have intent, the flowing water is heartless, Su Wan’er wished to develop feelings for this extraordinary man, Chen Changsheng.

Yet Chen Changsheng consistently rejected her “approaches.”

Facing Su Wan’er’s question, Chen Changsheng did not respond immediately, but instead gazed at the dim sky in the distance.

“In the time I have experienced, I have met many people.”

“Some are willing to devote their lives just to leave a memory in mine.”

“Some observe from the vast worldly dust, waiting for my return, yet she never got what she yearned for even until d*ath.”

“Even more see me as an obsession, walking the endless road.”

Upon hearing this answer, Su Wan’er pursed her lips and said, “Elder Brother Changsheng, you’re too heartless; you shouldn’t betray so many people.”

“Yes, I’m a thorough scoundrel; I’ve won their hearts but refuse to give them any promises.”

“But have you considered that if I made promises to them, how would I face those I genuinely wish to love in the future?”

“Men having three wives and four concubines, isn’t that a normal thing?”

“Elder Brother Changsheng, you’re such an outstanding individual; many girls like you, and that’s quite normal.”

“That’s not wrong,” Chen Changsheng turned to look at Su Wan’er and said, “But can we call that love?”

“Do you know what love is?”

Su Wan’er shook her head.

“Love is a behavior that goes against the instincts of living beings.”

“In the wild, only through multiple copulations can the chances of one’s bloodline survival increase.”

“Because of this, male beings inherently prefer many female beings.”

“But love is the behavior that contradicts this instinct.”

“When you say you love someone, it means that, in this life, only she can occupy your heart.”

“But the current situation is that I don’t even know who should occupy that space in my heart.”

“I don’t even know who will accompany me to the end.”

“Perhaps many years from now, I will have already buried the dead in my heart.”

“When that time comes, I will surely regret not realizing what I truly wanted sooner.”

Listening to Chen Changsheng’s words, Su Wan’er forced a smile and asked, “Elder Brother Changsheng, do you think you will find an answer?”

“I will, for sure.”

“But how and when this answer will appear is beyond my control.”

“It’s the same as the path you’re currently walking; one day you will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.”

“But no one knows exactly when that breakthrough will occur.”

“The only thing you can do is wait, wait for time to provide the answer.”

After saying this, Chen Changsheng pinched Su Wan’er’s cheek.

“Everything takes time; there’s no need to be overly fixated.”

“Huafeng and them have already arrived; next, I will take you to a special place.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wan’er turned to look into the distance.

There, Huafeng and Xu Hu were flying toward the Sword Qi Great Wall.

“Swish!”

Two figures slowly landed on the castle wall, and seeing the significant aura change in the two, Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

“Now that looks more like it. Did you figure out the secret methods and corroborate with each other?”

“Back to the Young Master, Xu Hu and I have already communicated,”

“But we still lack the secret methods of the Divine Bridge and the Consciousness Realm.”

“That’s not a big problem; Potato can take care of it.”
