Chapter 1397: New Life

"So what other option?" Long Chen sighed. "I can only come back after months or maybe years. So are you sure you want to stay back?"

Mimi didn't reply. She couldn't speak anything and found her mouth closed. She knew she had to say no, but she couldn't. 

All she could do was try her best to keep her tears from coming out again. 

"I understand your answer. You don't need to say it," Long Chen replied, patting the head of Mimi. "Don't worry about it. It's only a matter of time."

"Will you come back after you're done?" Mimi asked weakly. 

"I will," Long Chen answered. 

"How long do you have to stay here?" Mimi asked. 

"A few hours maybe."

"Let's create more memories to last me years and so that you don't forget me." Mimi looked up and placed her lips on the lips of Long Chen while pushing him towards bed. 

...

"He said for a couple of hours. It's been longer."

Back in the Heavenly Prison, Zhu Chang's father was waiting for Long Chen. Even though he had given Long Chen twelve hours, he was expecting him back sooner. But eight hours were already over.

"Something might be taking more time," Zhu Chang said. "Since you gave him twelve hours, wait for four more silently."

...

Back in the Immoral World, Long Chen had finished dressing up. He also bid farewell to Mimi, who looked like she didn't want him to go. 

After some more time, he used the talisman given to him by the Beast Emperors and disappeared, leaving a sad Mimi behind who had already started missing him. 

....

Long Chen appeared where he had left from. As it was a talisman given by the Beast Emperor, it had the location of this place arranged in it, bringing him back to the same spot. 

"Are you done?" Zhu Chang asked. 

"Yep. Finished what I had to do," Long Chen nodded.

He turned to the Heavenly General. "Did you finish what I asked you to do?" 

"Yeah. They're freed." The Heavenly General nodded. He had freed the people Long Chen asked after doing some enquiry to make sure that the story Long Chen told was true. 

Lu Chen was finally going to be released from the prison. As for Zia Uzhi, that guy was already free since Lu Chen was right about him. 

Zia Uzhi wasn't a prisoner but an undercover Heavenly Warrior. So he couldn't be freed. However, the Heavenly General didn't tell it to Long Chen.

"I think we shouldn't waste any more time. Let's go back home." Zhu Chang's uncle said. 

"Yeah." The Black Tortoise Patriarch nodded. 

He placed his hand on the ground
