Chapter 1023 - 1022: Chen Tianlong Awakens
A few minutes later, Master Wufa appeared in the room again, holding a pill paper and handed it to Wu Mengting, then instructed, "Hold the pill close to your chest, close your eyes, and silently picture this pill in your mind for three seconds."
Wu Mengting nodded, this should be the master’s method for erasing part of Chen Tianlong’s memory.
Following Master Wufa’s instructions, after Wu Mengting did it once, Master Wufa directly held the pill in his hand and murmured something, then handed it back to Wu Mengting after a few seconds: "Miss Wu, the Gu is prepared, just dissolve it in water and give it to Chen Tianlong to drink. From then on, even if he sees you, he won’t remember any connections."
"Are you going to give it to him yourself? Then I will prepare to wake him up." Master Wufa said as he prepared to act.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Wu Mengting hesitated a bit, knowing that once the pill is consumed, it would mean Chen Tianlong would be separated from her forever.
"Regret it?" Master Wufa was taken aback.
"No, I... I just don’t want him to see me like this, Master... Could you arrange for Lin Wushuang to come over?" Wu Mengting had made up her mind, if she was destined to part ways with Chen Tianlong forever, then before leaving, she should find someone who can care for him throughout his life. In Wu Mengting’s view, Chen Tianlong’s favorite people are none other than herself and Lin Wushuang.
"Oh? Alright." Master Wufa was stunned for a moment, then directly agreed and walked towards the door.
About five minutes later, Lin Wushuang followed Master Wufa in. At this moment, Wu Mengting was facing away from her. Lin Wushuang didn’t think much of it, walked straight over, and gently tapped Wu Mengting on the shoulder, then asked softly, "Mengting, is Chen Tianlong... alright?"
"Yes... Wushuang, Chen Tianlong will wake up soon, can you promise me something?" Wu Mengting did not turn around, afraid of scaring Lin Wushuang.
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Wushuang rarely heard Wu Mengting ask for favors, especially from her.
"When Chen Tianlong wakes up, dissolve this pill in water and give it to him to drink. Then... promise you will treat Chen Tianlong well, don’t yell at him, don’t blame him, he’s a good person, he just likes to be cheeky with his words, but he cares for you..."
"Mengting, what are you saying, I don’t understand at all?" Lin Wushuang was a bit dumbfounded, what on earth is Wu Mengting up to? Has absorbing Demonic Qi made her silly? Why is she saying such things to her, has she come to know something?
As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Mengting turned around.
"Ah~"
Lin Wushuang was shocked, hastily covering her mouth, filled with disbelief.
The girl hailed as the greatest campus beauty of South Sea No.1 Middle School, how did she become like this, what on earth happened?
"You... you are really Wu Mengting?" Lin Wushuang couldn’t believe her eyes, the difference was too vast. Although she had anticipated that after absorbing Demonic Qi, Wu Mengting might become cold or even somewhat evil, she never thought she wouldn’t turn evil but her appearance would become so unpleasant.
"It’s me, you’ve seen me now. If I go to meet Chen Tianlong like this, I’d surely frighten him, and every night the Demonic Qi assaults my heart, making life unbearable, I can’t care for Chen Tianlong or give him happiness, I’m even afraid to face him like this." Wu Mengting cried, her face covered with tears.
"No, it won’t be the case, Chen Tianlong loves you so much, that even like this, he won’t abandon you, Mengting don’t..."
"Wushuang, wake up, I know Chen Tianlong won’t leave me, that’s why I decided to let him consume that pill and forget me, forget everything about us." Wu Mengting’s tears flowed uncontrollably, continuing, "If he sees me like this, he’d definitely feel guilty, be distressed, desolate, even strive with all his might to cure me."
"But Master Wufa has said, it’s incurable, it’s up to me to recover, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, or perhaps a lifetime wouldn’t suffice. How could you ask Chen Tianlong to be with me, unable to go to school, unable to enjoy a normal life, letting everyone know he has an overwhelmingly ugly girlfriend, one who could be driven insane by Demonic Qi at any moment?" Wu Mengting was apparently agitated, Lin Wushuang remained silent.
"Even if he can, I cannot!" Wu Mengting handed the pill to Lin Wushuang, instructed, "I beg of you, Wushuang, do me a favor, Chen Tianlong loves not only me but also you. I hope you can love him well, I’m entrusting this to you."
"Mengting... I... I can’t, I..."
At this moment, Lin Wushuang was somewhat at a loss of what to do, she liked Chen Tianlong and thought of being with him one day, but in this situation, she really felt uneasy about it.
"Thud!"
Wu Mengting knelt on the ground, tears blurring her vision again: "I beg of you, Wushuang, life is short, I hope Chen Tianlong lives in happiness and joy, not endless self-blame."
Lin Wushuang was startled, quickly raised Wu Mengting, then said, "Alright, I promise you."
Taking the pill, Lin Wushuang was somewhat lost. Have Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting really parted ways just like that? She felt as if she was dreaming. Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong are lovebirds, why would fate torment them like this?
Wu Mengting glanced back at Chen Tianlong lying on the bed, covered her mouth, and walked out of the room without a sound. Master Wufa shook his head, walked to the bed, pinched Chen Tianlong’s pulse gate, and infused Powerful Qi.
Three minutes later, Master Wufa also walked out of the room, shutting the door.
Lin Wushuang saw Chen Tianlong’s body had begun to stir, picked up a nearby teacup, poured him a cup of water, and put in the pill Wu Mengting had given.
Once the pill dissolved in the water, it turned into what looked like tasteless plain water, without a trace to be detected.
"Cough, cough..."
An audible coughing sound indicated Chen Tianlong had awakened.
At this point, Lin Wushuang walked over and sat at the bedside. Mistaking her initially for Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong saw it was actually the young miss. Nonetheless, he was not disappointed, after all, having the miss visit him was quite a surprise.
"Miss, what are you doing sitting so close, aren’t you worried about scuttlebutt?" Chen Tianlong still spoke in his usually frank manner.
Seeing that Chen Tianlong was articulate, virtually problem-free, Lin Wushuang was relieved: "Hmph, coming to see you out of goodwill and you’re still picky, aren’t you?"
After giving Chen Tianlong a sideways glance, observing his chapped lips, Lin Wushuang hesitated momentarily, ultimately walking to the table and grabbed the cup of water: "Have some water, your lips are really chapped."
"Oh my, when did you become so considerate?" Chen Tianlong smiled, took the cup from Lin Wushuang’s hand, and without thinking, gulped it down.
