Chapter 370 - 368: The Lion’s Gift
The Lion Beast vigorously nodded its head, worried that Chen Tianlong might not notice.
Chen Tianlong was surprised to see the Lion Beast make such a big gesture. It was clear that it understood his words, so he nodded and followed the Lion Beast.
Most of the spectators had left due to the earlier conflict. Now, only Wu Mengting remained standing nearby, not daring to approach.
As for Guo Jingjing, she was furious when Situ Nan ran off on his own, without caring about her existence, and stormed out in anger.
Chen Tianlong was following the Lion Beast towards a big tree. The Lion Beast scratched twice at the base of the tree, and soon, a delicate little box appeared on its claw, which it then handed to Chen Tianlong.
"For me?"
Chen Tianlong asked with a bit of confusion.
The Lion Beast nodded again, this time not as forcefully, knowing that Chen Tianlong had understood its intent.
Seeing the Lion Beast’s actions, Chen Tianlong curiously took the box and opened it right away. Inside was a smooth, black pill.
He had no idea what kind of medicine it was, but it looked to be of good quality.
"What is this stuff? It’s not something made from your poop, right?" Chen Tianlong asked suspiciously, pondering how a Spirit Beast could have such things.
"Roar..."
The Lion Beast was speechless. Hearing Chen Tianlong say this made it a little anxious. This was a Divine Medicine Qi Gathering Pill, an essential item for Ancient Martial Cultivators to level up, yet this kid didn’t recognize its value and even called it poop.
"Alright, I’m kidding. Lion, thank you, I’ll take it then."
Chen Tianlong noticed the Lion Beast was a bit unhappy and realized he’d misspoken.
So Chen Tianlong quickly added, "Thanks, I’m going to go play elsewhere. You stay here and don’t bite anyone. What happened earlier was that person’s fault, not yours."
"Roar roar..." Clearly, the Lion Beast was very happy, finally finding a kindred spirit, someone who understood it.
"Haha..."
Seeing the Lion Beast’s delighted expression, Chen Tianlong smiled slightly and then walked up to Wu Mengting, taking her hand and leading her outside.
It’s already past five, time to head out to find a hotel and enjoy a decent meal.
Somewhere in Huacheng.
"Damn! Mo Shaoyun, what kind of useless expert did you contact? Why haven’t they arrived yet? It’s already dark!" Hao Jian was utterly frustrated; this so-called expert had kept them waiting since two o’clock, and now the sun had set.
Mo Shaoyun chuckled wryly. Shangguan Wei likely had something going on. Given the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall’s lofty stance, he couldn’t afford to offend them, so he said, "Alright, I’ll call again to confirm."
"Hello, who is this?"
As soon as Mo Shaoyun dialed the phone, a male voice came through, a voice Mo Shaoyun had heard once before—it was Shangguan Wei, the third senior brother from the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
"Wei, it’s me, Mo Shaoyun. Weren’t we supposed to meet in Huacheng today afternoon?"
"Ah? Damn, sorry, I forgot."
"Gosh, hurry up! I’ve already undressed, hurry up, this is driving me crazy..."
At this point, a sweet woman’s voice came over from the other end, making Mo Shaoyun pause before quickly realizing that Shangguan Wei must have gone off with a woman for fun and forgotten about official matters.
"Wei, what’s up on that side?" Mo Shaoyun took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.
"Haha, no worries. How about this? It’s already late today. You continue tracking Chen Tianlong to see if he hasn’t gone back yet. I’ll find time tomorrow to meet him!"
Shangguan Wei said loudly, then hung up the phone, as if dealing with Chen Tianlong was child’s play, to be done whenever he felt like it.
"Damn it!"
Mo Shaoyun was so angry he wanted to smash his phone on the ground. Collaborating with people with such an inflated ego was truly frustrating. Even the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall, as powerful as it might be, was extremely hard to enlist.
"Young Master Mo, please calm down!"
Seeing Mo Shaoyun’s face filled with anger, Hao Jian chuckled wryly, but since the situation had reached this point, anger was useless. Hao Jian managed to keep his composure in this regard.
"Let’s go grab some food and track Chen Tianlong. At this hour, he’d likely not head back, since it’s past six o’clock. Driving on an empty stomach doesn’t make sense. Once they’re done eating, it will be around seven or eight, driving three or four hours in the night is tiring."
Hao Jian analyzed, "So I think Chen Tianlong won’t return tonight."
"Alright, let’s forget Shangguan Wei for now and head to dinner." Mo Shaoyun seemed to have figured things out, took a deep breath, and the two of them left Huacheng.
Four hours ago, Lin Family in South Sea City.
"Wushuang, the tracker installed on Tianlong’s car shows their exact location is in a place called Gongcheng, and they’ve gone to Huacheng. Wow! Turns out he’s taken Wu Mengting out for a trip, leaving us two wives at home—so unfair, really unfair."
Lu Xiaoyu professionally held her tablet, opened the tracker software showing Chen Tianlong’s car location, right at the entrance to Huacheng, undoubtedly gone for some flower viewing.
"..."
Lin Wushuang was speechless, thinking what business it was of hers if the couple went out to play.
"Wushuang, don’t look at me like that; my face will turn into a red apple," Lu Xiaoyu hummed a tune, then suddenly stopped to seriously analyze, "Wushuang, based on my analysis, Chen Tianlong won’t return tonight. Instead, he’ll open a room with Wu Mengting and then..."
"Stop!"
For some reason, Lin Wushuang felt agitated upon hearing this. To be logical, since Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong were a couple, what they did was none of her business, but she just felt uneasy.
"Xiaoyu, what do you really want to say?" Lin Wushuang glanced at Lu Xiaoyu, annoyed by her beating around the bush without stating her aim.
"Rescue Tianlong."
Lu Xiaoyu immediately added, "Wushuang, think about it. If he and Wu Mengting really get together, won’t his entire heart be with her? Then what about us? We’ll be left behind like that!"
"Hmph, you just want to find your Chen Tianlong; it concerns me in no way. I have nothing to do with him," Lin Wushuang retorted.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Wushuang, you can fool others but not Xiaoyu’s eyes. Well, I’ve said enough. Are you going or not? But let me remind you, if Wu Mengting gets the advantage by being close, don’t come complaining to me for strategies later."
After speaking, Lu Xiaoyu picked up her potato chips and took a bite with a crunch.
After listening to Xiaoyu, Lin Wushuang felt inexplicably uneasy. However, it was already past three o’clock, and it seemed a bit unsafe for two girls to travel that far.
"Wushuang, don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe. I’ve already arranged for police officer Zhang Yufei to go play too; now just waiting for your word."
Lu Xiaoyu continued munching on her chips, she said casually.
