Chapter 1025 - 1024: Wushuang’s Change
Lin Wushuang surprisingly did not dodge, but accepted Chen Tianlong’s embrace.
The long-awaited hug made Lin Wushuang’s body tremble slightly, it was like a dream, completely different from what she imagined. Such a scenario was never something she envisioned; happiness came too quickly, making it feel somewhat unreal.
However, being held by Chen Tianlong truly felt so blissful, and she had been waiting for this feeling for a long time.
Without thinking much, she wrapped her arms around Chen Tianlong’s waist and quietly enjoyed this warm moment.
"Oh my, can’t you two get a room before getting all lovey-dovey here? What about us, the little wives? I’m about to be consumed with desire." Lu Xiaoyu said with her arms akimbo, reprimanding them.
"Huh? Xiaoyu, don’t tell me you’re my girlfriend too?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback when he heard Lu Xiaoyu’s words, it felt as if these two really had become his wives.
"Tianlong, you’re really not fair. That day on the snow-capped mountain, you agreed yourself, said Wushuang would be the first wife and I’d be the second. Have you forgotten already? I have witnesses." With that, Lu Xiaoyu loudly called to the outside: "Teacher Shen Yan, come over and be a witness, didn’t Chen Tianlong say last time he would marry both Wushuang and me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan was startled, then chuckled and said: "You two stop messing around. Are you trying to make me envious, both having become first and second wives? Showing off love will end quickly."
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, even Shen Yan said so, it must be true.
Patting his own head, Chen Tianlong finally accepted this fact. Even though there was often a back silhouette appearing in his mind, could it be Lin Wushuang, Lu Xiaoyu, or perhaps Li Bingshuang?
That night, Chen Tianlong slept peacefully, with only himself in the room. Lin Wushuang had just accepted Chen Tianlong, so she couldn’t just sleep with him like Wu Mengting, she needed time to adapt.
Meanwhile, Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu did not return to the Chen Family Mansion that night, but called Chen Haoran to say they were staying overnight at Chen Tianlong’s villa. After hearing this, Chen Haoran secretly smiled but then he remembered the marriage contract, which immediately gave him a headache.
This matter, he didn’t know whether to bring it up with his daughter and Chen Tianlong. Even though Chen Tianlong currently had a girlfriend, they’re just high school students, with a long life ahead, his daughter still stood a good chance.
The situation had developed to the point of them staying over at Chen Tianlong’s place; it’s likely they wouldn’t be together for too long.
Therefore, Chen Haoran decided to find a time to visit that mysterious family’s address, to inquire from the surrounding people whether there were any descendants left, then deal with this marriage contract.
At the same time, around ten o’clock in the evening, a few strangers appeared at South Sea City’s airport, each wearing sunglasses, looking like mafia bosses.
In fact, they were much stronger than mafia bosses. They were from the Celestial Pill Sect, fourth and fifth disciples. These two people were very powerful, with strengths at Celestial Dao four-star and Celestial Dao three-star levels respectively.
Hua Wucan and Madman Li were here on a mission, they must capture Mo Jing, the Innate Pill Furnace, and bring her back. The situation was urgent, with only about twenty days left until the Celestial Pill Sect’s trial, and they desperately needed such an Alchemy Furnace Body to aid in alchemy, serving as a reward for the victor.
That reward was the Super Qi Gathering Pill and the Super Great Rejuvenation Pill.
Thus, the two hurried over, arriving at the Liu Family first. Elder Liu Kaifang of the Liu Family led all members to greet them, including his two daughters.
The Liu Family had been waiting for such an opportunity for so long, whether they could rise to prominence depended on this.
However, the last time three experts from the Celestial Pill Sect came over and reportedly met with misfortune, Elder Liu was somewhat nervous. He wasn’t sure if they would blame them.
"Welcome both of you to South Sea," Liu Kaifang said, stepping forward with his son Liu Wenbin, considering these two were high-ranking members of the Celestial Pill Sect, ranking in the top ten among many disciples, and reportedly they were fourth and fifth, which spoke volumes of their prowess.
"No need for the pleasantries, Shi Xiaohong has already briefed us on the situation regarding the Alchemy Furnace Body, have you figured out its exact location yet?" Madman Li spoke directly, as he was here on a mission, and Zhong Ruofeng had warned him that if they failed to complete the mission, senior brother Chen Hai would definitely blame them.
At that time, even second senior brother Zhong Ruofeng might not be able to protect them.
"Ah? Yes, we tracked it down, it’s at a place called Tianshu Manor, however, it’s within the territory of the Black Panther Assassin Group, which poses a bit of a challenge." Liu Kaifang had sent people to investigate the Black Panther Assassin Group and knew of their formidable strength.
Hua Wucan sneered coldly, having heard of the Black Panther Assassin Group’s prowess, apart from Fang Yan, the other members could be ignored. Besides, Fang Yan was just an old man, not worth their concern.
"The Black Panther Assassin Group, is it? If they refuse to hand over the person, I, Hua Wucan, will make sure they all perish," Hua Wucan said ruthlessly.
"Wow, Elder Hua is truly formidable. I admire you!" Liu Kaifang saw they were so assertive and had no choice but to flatter them.
After all, the Celestial Pill Sect’s strength far surpassed the Black Panther Assassin Group, being Huaxia’s largest sect with 8,000 disciples, over 500 with Celestial Dao strength, and other sects having no more than 10 experts over Celestial Dao, showing the vast difference in power.
"Stop sucking up, early tomorrow morning, send someone to lead the way. We will go directly to Tianshu Manor to capture the Alchemy Furnace Body. Additionally, I’ve heard of a Chen Tianlong who is quite formidable, having injured Shi Xiaohong and caused our ninth and tenth brothers to be paralyzed, so provide me with detailed information. After capturing the Alchemy Furnace Body, we’ll eliminate Chen Tianlong as well."
Hua Wucan was evidently very arrogant, speaking as if Chen Tianlong was insignificant.
"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away." Liu Kaifang didn’t dare delay and nodded promptly.
In Chen Tianlong’s room.
He almost grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough, possibly due to the demonic possession earlier, where the demonic Qi left a certain accumulation of powerful Qi in his body. Otherwise, at this level, relying on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for an upgrade was truly difficult, unless with a Super Qi Gathering Pill.
Around two in the morning, Chen Tianlong got up to relieve himself and suddenly felt a warm sensation running through his body. He was first startled, then realized he was about to break through.
Thus, he sat directly on the floor of his room and began to practice the Heart Method.
Sure enough, at three-thirty in the early morning, there was a muffled sound, and Chen Tianlong broke through again, directly reaching Celestial Dao three-star. This was largely thanks to that demonic Qi, otherwise advancing from Celestial Dao two-star to Celestial Dao three-star, based on Chen Tianlong’s upgrade speed, would have taken at least three months. After all, at this level, upgrading required a massive accumulation of powerful Qi.
