Chapter 902 - 900: Wanting to Protect Herself
"Hmm." Wu Mengting said.
Chen Tianlong activated the Heart Method and ran downward with all his might...
In the valley, there were three bodies, but one of them only had all his meridians severed and was not dead. That person was Shi Xiaohong.
His heart was still trembling. Apart from the Sect Leader, he had never encountered someone so extraordinary. With just a blink, three people were taken down without any effort.
He had no idea why the other party didn’t kill him.
Shi Xiaohong was a backup pawn for opening that place, with a somewhat special physique. Although he did not possess any of the Five Elements Attribute, he had a tri-attribute physique: gold, wood, and water.
If the Five Elements Yangzi could not be found, he could be used to test it instead, combined with a few elderly people to see if they could open the gate to that place.
And the masked man planned to go inside once the gate was opened, so he spared his life.
Chen Tianlong carried Wu Mengting as he sprinted towards the foot of the mountain. Even though it was night and he couldn’t see the mountain road, it was as clear as daylight when he closed his eyes, without any hindrance.
Wu Mengting opened just one eye, watching the scenery flying past, surprised. She never thought her husband was such a miraculous person.
However, now she felt comforted. With her husband being so formidable, she felt even safer.
Given her special identity, she needed to reassess her value and couldn’t avoid it. As the eldest daughter of the Ancient Wu Family with a Sponge Physique, these terms sounded foreign, but they were facts. She couldn’t change the facts, so she could only change herself.
At this moment, Wu Mengting began to entertain a thought; she wanted to become a cultivator.
Twenty minutes later, the two were back in the car, and Wu Mengting was thinking about the future path. Chen Tianlong was destined to be an extraordinary person, while she felt so ordinary now. How could she match up to him?
"Chen Tianlong, I... I want to become a cultivator. Can you help me?" Wu Mengting suddenly lifted her head, speaking to Chen Tianlong, her gaze firm.
Chen Tianlong was initially stunned but then responded with a broad smile: "My dear, I can protect you, isn’t that easier?"
"No, I want to be able to protect myself, so you don’t have to worry too much. Plus... if one day, you really become a legendary cultivator who retains eternal youth, wouldn’t I become an old lady getting rejected by you? I don’t want that." Wu Mengting said anxiously.
This truly was a woman’s concern. Imagine if Chen Tianlong eternally maintained the appearance of a twenty-year-old, while Wu Mengting grew older day by day, turning into a wrinkled, gray-haired grandmother. How could she face Chen Tianlong like that?
"Well, alright then!" Chen Tianlong didn’t know how to explain. Indeed, if he ever reached that level, even if not to the Extreme Dao, the Celestial Dao would extend his lifespan significantly, showing a distinct difference.
"How about this, I’ll ask Master Fang Zun when I have the time, to see where there’s a suitable Heart Method Mantra for you, then you can give it a try and see if you can cultivate." Chen Tianlong smiled at Wu Mengting, deliberately trying to lighten the mood.
"Alright." Wu Mengting was suddenly happy to see Chen Tianlong agree.
Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wu Mengting wasn’t so stubborn. She was probably worried that he might not want her anymore.
"Mengting, even if you’re not a cultivator, I will love you forever." Chen Tianlong added.
Wu Mengting merely smiled and stayed silent. This wasn’t about love, but a hurdle in her heart, one perhaps only women could understand.
The two soon returned to East City, as Fang Dali’s men hadn’t intercepted them, because they heard that three experts from the Celestial Pill Sect followed them to the mountain. The reason was simple; they were certainly dealing with Chen Tianlong.
According to spies’ reports, no one was seen coming down by nightfall, leading to one conclusion: mutual destruction, or both dead. Fang Dali was delighted upon hearing this. Although they harbored no deep hatred against the Celestial Pill Sect, it was gratifying to see such an arrogant sect lose a few people.
When they returned to the Chen Family in East City, it was already half past nine at night. Liu Ting and Shen Mengya were anxiously waiting in the hall. Seeing the pair return safely, they finally felt relieved and went to their rooms.
After Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting got back to their room, feeling somewhat dirty, Chen Tianlong placed the Divine Cauldron in his backpack and went to take a shower. Wu Mengting watched TV for a while but felt a bit tired.
For some reason, she suddenly felt so exhausted today, as if something inside her body had been absorbed.
When Chen Tianlong came out, Wu Mengting was already asleep despite not having showered, with dust on her body. Chen Tianlong had to wake her up.
"Mengting, what’s wrong? Why are you so sleepy?" Chen Tianlong asked Wu Mengting gently, with affection.
"Oh, I am a bit tired. Alright, I’ll take a shower first." Wu Mengting loved cleanliness and wouldn’t sleep like this, so she quickly got up from the bed, grabbing clothes to change, and rushed to the bathroom.
About fifteen minutes later, Wu Mengting came out wearing a thin nightgown, evidently without wearing underwear underneath, feeling extremely tired and not caring about these matters. She climbed into bed, and snuggling up to Chen Tianlong, said: "Chen Tianlong, I’m so sleepy. Let’s sleep."
"Okay."
Seeing Wu Mengting seemed off, Chen Tianlong quickly agreed.
That night, the two didn’t engage in any couple activities. After all, Wu Mengting was too tired, and Chen Tianlong had just broken through two levels and needed to stabilize, so while Wu Mengting was sleeping, he practiced the Heart Method.
Surprisingly, when Chen Tianlong ran the Heart Method, he discovered an immense flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi pouring into his body. This sensation was even more profound than cultivating in the Cloud Dragon Region; what was happening?
Even if his Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique had broken through to the third level, it shouldn’t be so heaven-defying. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was noticeably denser than in the Primordial Dragon Realm. It was unscientific, especially in Ice City with the Chen Family.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s gaze fell upon Wu Mengting. Could it be an issue with her physique?
Indeed, when he was severely injured before, losing power and Powerful Qi, and then suddenly regaining it, was it because of her?
Yue Xiaoyao did mention that Wu Mengting’s physique seemed activated, but Chen Tianlong never thought it would be usable right away once activated.
"No wonder Mengting was so tired; it turns out I absorbed the Powerful Qi from her body." Chen Tianlong finally understood, but was very surprised. If Wu Mengting had Powerful Qi within her, didn’t that mean she was essentially an invisible cultivator?
She just hadn’t found a suitable Heart Method yet.
Once he understood this, Chen Tianlong immediately halted his Heart Method, unwilling to absorb more, as it could cause problems.
