Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 850 - 870: Beast Tide! Beast Tide Attack!_1

Lin Chen still couldn’t bring himself to agree.

He was a normal man, and if they were to be naked together, he wouldn’t be able to control himself!

Since they had both agreed to find Chu Jiaxue, and they were already in East Emperor State, which was not far from Penglai, it would be somewhat awkward if they were to become intimate at this point.

Gu Yuexi lay in Lin Chen’s arms and whispered with a smile, "I never thought before that just lying quietly on the bed with another person, without doing anything, would be such a difficult thing to accomplish..."

Lin Chen chuckled bitterly, "The situations we encountered, every single one of them was a desperate life-and-death crisis. Others may not experience even one in their whole lives, but we faced three in a row. How could it be easy?"

Gu Yuexi grinned and added, "The good news is that we’re both alive now, so we should cherish the present even more!"

With that, Gu Yuexi turned over, hugged Lin Chen, and took the initiative to kiss him.

...

The sunshine poured in through the window, and Gu Yuexi opened her eyes lazily in Lin Chen’s embrace.

For more than two years, this had been her best sleep.

The loneliness of previous nights, and the anxiety that followed months under the shadow of death, had all vanished like smoke in thin air. Without the threat of life and death, lying in the arms of her beloved, she felt boundless satisfaction.

Gu Yuexi glanced at the hand resting on her chest and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"You’re awake!"

Gu Yuexi looked up and was greeted by Lin Chen’s warm gaze.

Gu Yuexi turned to face Lin Chen and smiled, "The sun is already shining on our butts, it’s time to wake up. Did you sleep well?"

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "Very well."

Last night, Gu Yuexi was affectionate and actively flirted with Lin Chen. Although they didn’t cross the final line, they had been intimate.

Both of them were not prudish conservatives; it was just that they both had respect for Chu Jiaxue in their hearts.

Lin Chen felt that Chu Jiaxue deserved a clear explanation, while Gu Yuexi thought that if anything were to happen, it should be with her sister first, after all, she was Lin Chen’s legitimate wife.

Penglai was just within reach, and they could afford to wait a little longer.

"Let’s get up then!"

After getting up and having breakfast, they bought a map from the innkeeper and studied it carefully.

"Boss, is there a flying boat heading to Penglai around here?"

The innkeeper replied, "This city is under Penglai’s jurisdiction, so there are naturally flying boats to Penglai."

Lin Chen was quite surprised, Jucheng City was part of Penglai?

"Isn’t this city quite far from Penglai? Is Penglai’s territory so vast?"

The innkeeper smiled, "Not exactly. Originally, Jucheng City was under the management of the Huangyun Sect, but the Huangyun Sect had a conflict with the demon race, and they were almost wiped out. The Sect Master of Huangyun Sect died in battle, and the Deputy Sect Master, who had a connection with the higher-ups of Penglai, led the surviving people and Jucheng City to pledge allegiance to Penglai..."

"Although the city is far away from Penglai and separated by other territories, Jucheng City wasn’t very big to start with and had no special resources. Furthermore, Penglai is a strong force, and they have sent people to guard it. Other forces naturally would give them face, so even if it is an isolated city, no one would try to take advantage and attack it."

Lin Chen understood and asked with a smile, "So, how long would it take to get to Penglai from here?"

"If you take a commercial flying boat, it’ll be about twenty days. If you fly by yourself, it should only take seven or eight days."

"Great, thank you!"

Gu Yuexi asked, "Are we going straight to Penglai to find my sister?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, but you can find someone to send a message to your sect so they won’t worry about you."

Gu Yuexi agreed, "That’s true. Anyway, I finally found you, so I definitely want to stay with you for some time."

Lin Chen smiled, "After meeting your sister and spending some time together, I’ll head to the True Dragon Secret Realm. I think your sect will also send people to participate, so you can join me and meet up with your sect then."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes lit up, "I’ve heard about the True Dragon Secret Realm before, but I didn’t have the strength to qualify at the time. Now that I’ve reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection, I should be eligible, right?"

Lin Chen replied with a laugh, "Nascent Soul Great Perfection and Five Elements Spirit Body, you’re definitely qualified. With your current strength, there won’t be many people who can outmatch you in a one-on-one battle."

Gu Yuexi blinked, "Can I join you then?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m afraid your sect won’t agree, because there’s competition between the teams from different states. They might even fight each other for good items. If you join the team from Xixi State, wouldn’t that mean helping the enemy, from Cangshan Cave Heaven and Nan Yuzhou’s perspective?"

Gu Yuexi pouted, but didn’t say much more, as she knew the rules were indeed as such, and her sect definitely wouldn’t let the future star of Cangshan Cave Heaven join the Xixi State team.

"Alright, let’s go board the flying boat."

The two came to the Flying Boat Dock, and just as they were about to board, a group of cultivators flew in from outside the city.

This group of cultivators was flying in haste, each of them injured. One even had an arm missing, and he was covered in blood while lying on the back of another cultivator. The scene looked quite tragic.

Was this an adventure team that had been hurt by a powerful demonic beast and was returning?

The leading man of the cultivators rushed straight to the central City Lord’s Mansion in a frantic flight, shouting anxiously, "Beast tide! The beast tide is coming!"
