Free Web NovelChapter 243: Enter the Heavenly Prison
And this makes a total of three Awakening Crystals distributed, which means Long Chen can help three of his generals or strategists awaken in the future.
Feeling ecstatic, truly ecstatic!
By then, won’t it be a case of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas?!
After the distribution of the Awakening Crystals, a mechanical voice transmission followed.
"Ding! Obtained [Heaven-defying Fate-changing Pill *1]!"
[Heaven-defying Fate-changing Pill: Can randomly increase one of the host’s attributes by 10 points]
Hmm?!
Upon seeing this, Long Chen’s expression became colorful; he had finally obtained this treasure pill.
"Ding! Should it be taken immediately?"
Without hesitation, Long Chen directly clicked to confirm and immediately selected the option to consume it.
"Ding! Consumption in progress... Congratulations on gaining +10 Strategy, current Strategy value is 85, greatly enhancing spell damage and spell accuracy..."
A profoundly refreshing feeling permeated Long Chen’s entire body, with every cell in his limbs and bones feeling as if they had reached a new peak.
His body was filled with pleasure, an additional effect of the pill’s transformation.
After the pill’s effects subsided, Long Chen was amazed to notice that when he released his skills again, the previously slightly ethereal thunder and lightning had become more solid.
The thunder snake created by Thunder was now as agile and vivid as if it were real.
Now, he could significantly increase the damage of his skills, and the thunder in his skills would also become more solid...
"Check the attribute panel!"
Joy appeared on Long Chen’s face as he finally raised his Strategy value to 85.
In his thoughts, a set of data appeared in Long Chen’s mind, ready for his review.

...
Seeing this, Long Chen smiled knowingly.
As time passed slowly, the figures of Long Chen and even other generals and strategists gradually became illusory, until finally dissolving into particles and dissipating in this virtual battlefield.
Buzzing—
Like the buzzing of mosquitoes, Long Chen heard such a sound in his ears.
Clang—
His eyes, originally tightly closed in endless darkness, suddenly felt the brilliant and moving light.
Swish!
Swish!
Long Chen opened his starry eyes, and what he saw was the familiar palace hall where he resided in Chang’an City.
Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Dian Wei had been sent back to their original places.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood outside the door, looking back into the mansion as if they were still concerned, until they saw Long Chen’s figure.
Only then did these two feel relieved and continued to serve as gate guards and bodyguards, ready to charge into battle and sacrifice their lives for Long Chen at any time. freēwēbnovel.com
Dian Wei and Xu Chu had been following Long Chen for quite some time, and their loyalty had reached the point where they could sacrifice themselves at any moment.
Looking at the hazy night outside the window, Long Chen’s heart gradually settled from restlessness to tranquility.
The full moon was bright, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled over the rooftops and pavilions of Chang’an City, appearing so dreamlike and beautiful.
"What a charming city it is!"
Long Chen couldn’t help but exclaim.
This statement was not false. After all, Chang’an, as the imperial capital of the emperor, naturally ranked first among cities nationwide.
When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, it was originally for his own pleasure, so the decoration and renovation of Chang’an City by Dong Zhuo far surpassed that of the previous dynasty!
"I must personally visit Chang’an City to stroll around... But if I go, I must bring Chan’er along the way..."
Long Chen thought so, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted at the thought of Diao Chan, as if thinking of something extremely happy.
In the distant Lujiang County of Yangzhou, there were also two peerlessly beautiful women who thought day and night about Long Chen.
They were none other than Long Chen’s other two concubines, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!
In ancient times, most women were like this, their hearts devoted only to their husband, especially someone as charismatic as Long Chen.
While Long Chen was admiring the moon, a graceful figure entered slowly from outside the door.
Her snow-white long dress set off her skin, as pure and holy as moonlight.
What was most surprising was that her skin was even whiter than her white dress.
Tall and full-bodied, with a stunning appearance.
"Husband, I’ve made a bowl of Longan lotus seed soup for you, to clear away heat and detoxify. Come and taste it~"
Her voice was charming and beautiful, unmistakably Diao Chan, whom Long Chen had been longing for.
Long Chen hugged her, her soft body feeling very comfortable in his arms.
"Good Chan’er~ Why would I need this Longan lotus seed soup to cool down!"
"Then... what do you want?" Diao Chan asked, her eyes seductive.
"You’ll find out soon." Long Chen slowly leaned in for a kiss.
In less than a moment,
There came a creaking sound from inside the room.
Outside the door, guarding, Xu Chu, a straightforward man, scratched his bald head in confusion and asked: frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Hey! Zhongkang, do you... hear that sound in the house? Why does it sound... a bit like the sound of a bed hitting the ground?"
Xu Chu awkwardly coughed, trying to stop this topic.
He had been following his lord, Long Chen, for much longer than Dian Wei, and though Xu Chu looked silly, he was quite sharp inside.
Unlike Dian Wei, who looked extremely fierce on the outside, like a great demon, but was actually quite simple-minded.
"Zhongkang! Listen carefully!"
With that, Dian Wei perked up his ears and became even more puzzled, asking:
"How come there’s a rhythm to it now! Could it be that there’s a mouse inside eating the bed boards?"
...
...
By the time he got up from the bed, it was already two in the morning. Long Chen quickly finished the Longan lotus seed soup on the table.
Then he lay back down, embracing the soft and warm body beside him.
Lying on his side, he gazed motionlessly at Diao Chan’s face.
Diao Chan felt a bit shy being stared at like this, lowering her head and blinking her long eyelashes, softly saying:
"Why... why are you staring at me like this? Is there something on my face?"
Long Chen nodded seriously, brushing her hair with his right hand.
Then he fell asleep embracing Diao Chan, as warm and tender as a piece of soft jade.
The next morning.
After practicing in the courtyard, Long Chen dressed under Diao Chan’s care.
Leaving the pavilion, he was flanked by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the twin tigers.
Behind them stretched a queue tens of meters long.
In the queue, all were clad in dark gold heavy armor, the elite Tiger Guards, each towering and muscular, exuding a strong sense of security.
They were all professional Royal Guards, stern and intimidating, with full momentum!
Full of prestige!
They arrived at the prison.
Outside the prison, the warden, upon seeing Long Chen dressed in a purple-gold robe with a purple-gold crown, quickly knelt down and bowed:
"Greetings, General Piqie!"
Long Chen was now a prominent figure before the Emperor himself!
Furthermore, there were rumors suggesting that Long Chen’s current status in the court was even higher than that of the Emperor, comparable to the late Prime Minister Dong.
Faced with such a figure, these lesser individuals could only prostrate themselves on the ground with utmost respect.
Naturally, Long Chen didn’t trouble these minor figures. He waved his hand calmly and said:
"You may open the gates. I wish to visit the prison."
Upon hearing this, the two officials immediately respectfully responded with clasped fists:
"Understood! General Long, please this way."
With a composed expression, Long Chen then turned to the several hundred elite Tiger Guards behind him and spoke:
"Wait outside. Zhongkang, you can choose a dozen or so guards to accompany me. There’s no need to make such a show."
"Yes!"
The two officials promptly acknowledged.
They quickly selected a dozen skilled and capable guards to accompany Long Chen into the depths of the prison.
In the dimly lit environment, criminals of various sorts were confined—some notorious and vicious, others desperate fugitives.
Long Chen’s eyes were as calm and deep as a still pond, seeing through everything.
"General, may I ask which prisoner you wish to visit?" asked the respectful prison official at Long Chen’s side, bowing with deference.
After a moment of thought, Long Chen spoke:
"... Jia Xu..."
