Chapter 256 - 255: Breaking Through a Realm
"The good news is, you suddenly have an abundance of Powerful Qi within you. In other words, you’ve broken through from being an ordinary person to having the physique of an Ancient Martial Cultivator. It’s truly a blessing in disguise, rising from the ashes."
Tan Tian also sighed, realizing that this kid wasn’t just an ordinary person. Originally, he was on the brink of death, but overnight he had transformed into an Ancient Martial Cultivator.
This is the opportunity many dream of.
It’s something one might not encounter in a lifetime, yet Chen Tianlong connected to a strange meridian by coincidence, unintentionally becoming an Ancient Martial Cultivator.
"Ah, Ancient Martial Cultivator?"
Chen Tianlong could hardly believe his ears; the person he’d always wanted to become was now a reality. This... happiness came too quickly, it was almost unbelievable.
"If I’m not mistaken, your current strength is at the initial stage. According to the cultivation realm’s strength levels, divided into Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow, with the Beidou Seven Stars as the watershed. Thus, your strength is Yellow Dao, and as for how many stars, it’s currently unknown," Tan Tian said.
"Hiss... Yellow Dao?"
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. Although he was just at the initial stage of being an Ancient Martial Cultivator, he was already very satisfied. Everything needs to be approached step by step, rather than reaching the heavens in a single leap.
Tan Tian nodded, then turned to leave as he had his own matters to attend to. Since this was a couple’s moment, he didn’t want to intrude further.
Once Tan Tian closed the door, Chen Tianlong, feeling a rush of excitement, suddenly stood up from the bathtub, wanting to go over and hug Wu Mengting.
At that moment, Wu Mengting’s eyes widened, and the two were stuck in a three-second stalemate.
"Ah? Tianlong, you’ve... you’ve exposed yourself!"
Wu Mengting exclaimed, her face instantly turning red like a ripe apple, hurriedly covering her eyes.
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong realized the awkward situation, but then thought, what does it matter? Since she’d see it sooner or later, he decided not to pay attention and jumped out of the bathtub to grab his clothes while Wu Mengting was covering her eyes.
But how could Wu Mengting be so calm? Her eyes were covered, but she couldn’t say she couldn’t see. She sneakily peeked through her fingers, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
Although she had previously learned some things about guys online, experiencing it live was truly different.
Just a few glances, and her face turned from a red apple to a boiled lobster—red as can be.
"Alright, I’m dressed now, but you peeked at me earlier. Next time, it’s your turn, or it’s not fair!" Chen Tianlong, rarely having the chance to be alone with Wu Mengting, teased her a bit.
"Ah? What do you mean? I didn’t peek. What’s there to see?" Wu Mengting moved her hand away, stubbornly denying it.
"Hehe, are you sure you didn’t peek? Then why is your face so red? I don’t care; now I get to see you too," Chen Tianlong exposed Wu Mengting, laughing mischievously.
"Cough cough... Chen Tianlong, you’re such a bad guy, I’m not talking to you," Wu Mengting stammered, her face reddening further, desperately trying to change the subject, unsure how to react next.
Her heart was pounding; listening to Chen Tianlong’s teasing made her feel a little flustered and perhaps a bit excited?
After hugging for a while, the two couldn’t help but move their lips closer to each other.
"Wow, boss, I heard you’re no longer a vegetable...!"
At this critical moment, Zhao Lei suddenly barged in, catching them completely off guard. Seeing such a beautiful scene, Zhao Lei paused for two seconds before finishing his sentence.
"Ahaha, sorry, I didn’t see anything. You guys continue," Zhao Lei, realizing he had disrupted Chen Tianlong, quickly shut the door with a bang.
Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong exchanged smiles; it’s not something you can just continue with. It needs the right mood, and Wu Mengting was already feeling shy.
Doing such things was already embarrassing, especially when spotted by Zhao Lei from the class. It was mortifying.
Quickly, she grabbed Chen Tianlong and rushed out of the room.
"Wow, sis-in-law, you guys finished so quickly?" Zhao Lei was in the pharmacy, looking here and there, stunned to see them come out so soon.
"What do you mean finished so quickly? We just came out straight away,"
Wu Mengting retorted, her pretty face blushing at Zhao Lei’s words.
"Oh... I get it, got it,"
Zhao Lei smirked, refraining from asking more.
Looking out at the scenery, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered the reason for his injury last night: a situation had occurred at the Lin Family, and Lin Wushuang had been captured, putting the Lin Family in a dangerous position.
The most critical thing is that the South Sea City Four Great Families have their selection at two o’clock this afternoon.
Realizing this, Chen Tianlong became anxious and said, "What time is it now?"
"Oh, hold on a moment."
Zhao Lei took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at it, and replied, "Ten o’clock!"
