Chapter 910 - 908: Trouble Brewing at the Ice Hall
Whenever North City planned to launch an attack, they would always choose this time. Or to put it bluntly, the person in charge of Ice City was quite despicable, attacking only when the adversary was down and out.
Taking advantage of the situation.
"Chen Tianlong, are you worried something might happen to the Ice Hall?" Ouyang Meijia suddenly asked.
Everyone was taken aback, especially Liu Ting and Shen Yan, as they had no knowledge of the Ice Hall. Wu Mengting also frowned upon hearing this. She had a special connection with the Ice Hall; it was where she was cured of the fire poison in her body by the Ice Spirit Fruit.
Thinking carefully now, the Ice Hall being in danger does warrant some concern.
"Heh, why would I worry about the Ice Hall? That Hall Master is so arrogant. Just thinking about her makes me want to slap her, especially with her icy cold face that sends shivers down your spine." Chen Tianlong said indifferently.
However, the four beauties lifted their heads to look at Chen Tianlong. A woman’s intuition is quite accurate, especially a woman who likes a man, as she is very sensitive to his words and actions.
Chen Tianlong remembered even the expression on her face so clearly, indicating a deep memory.
Feeling he might have said something wrong, Chen Tianlong quickly lowered his head and started eating. Wu Mengting, however, did not appear petty. Given that Chen Tianlong treated her so well, she felt no need to worry about trivial matters.
After dinner, the five of them went to a hotel nearby. They quickly booked rooms. This time, Wu Mengting got four rooms. Since this was the East City, relatively safer, she shared a room with Chen Tianlong, while the other three had rooms to themselves.
Chen Tianlong didn’t say much that night. He focused on cultivating, while Wu Mengting watched some television. Sensing Chen Tianlong seemed troubled, she walked over, sat beside him, and smiled gently, "Chen Tianlong, do you have something on your mind? You seem a bit down; it’s all written on your face."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong stopped his Heart Method and grinned, "You noticed.... Actually, I’m thinking about the situation between North City and the Ice Hall. It seems Bing Ruxue’s condition is acting up. If Ice City takes advantage, they’ll surely suffer a huge defeat. The over five thousand members and civilians of the Ice Hall would be caught in between. I’m a bit...."
"Chen Tianlong, I understand. But with your current strength, you’re no match for Fang Dali. Going there wouldn’t help." Wu Mengting explained.
"Sigh~" Chen Tianlong sighed, knowing Wu Mengting was right. Currently, he was only a Three-Star Profound Dao warrior, far from being a match for an Earth Dao One-Star opponent.
Suddenly, Wu Mengting remembered something, her eyes turned as she asked, "Oh right, didn’t you say last time that you could absorb the powerful Qi from my body for cultivation? If I let you absorb it, wouldn’t that speed up your progress?"
"Ah? Well... it’s possible, but your body might not handle it. Last time I absorbed some, you seemed exhausted." Chen Tianlong had thought about it but didn’t want Wu Mengting to be harmed.
Wu Mengting merely smiled faintly, holding the Jade Pendant from the Wu Family in her hand, and said, "Perhaps this way I’ll feel much better."
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong understood Wu Mengting’s intention: she wanted to combine the Energy Stone with herself and allow Chen Tianlong to cultivate. This way, absorbing from both sides might lessen some of the harm.
"I feel this might still be too dangerous, just in case...."
"Darling, stop mentioning ’just in case.’ This is all I can do for you. Let me find some value in staying by your side, or I’ll feel useless." Wu Mengting interrupted Chen Tianlong’s words, speaking with deep affection.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, hugged Wu Mengting tightly, and nodded firmly.
That night, the two didn’t indulge in intimacy. To conserve energy, Chen Tianlong focused on cultivation. They drifted off to sleep just like that, while Chen Tianlong’s Heart Method surprisingly continued unabated.
Due to the feature of Controlled Force in the third layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, even while asleep, as long as it wasn’t manually stopped, it kept absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The Energy Stone and the Spiritual Qi emanating from Wu Mengting’s body continuously filled Chen Tianlong.
Around five in the morning, Chen Tianlong suddenly felt scorching heat engulfing his body. Initially, he assumed it was due to the weather, but then he felt a burning pain, as if his body was suffocating, extremely uncomfortable.
No wonder, Chen Tianlong’s Heart Method hadn’t been stopped, and after absorbing energy the whole night, his body was on the verge of exploding. However, his brain was in a sleep state, unable to control the breakthrough, thus continually accumulating the Powerful Qi.
"Oh gosh, I’m about to have a breakthrough!"
Chen Tianlong suddenly awoke, realizing this, urgently jumping out of bed.
Wu Mengting, exhausted from being absorbed all night, was startled by Chen Tianlong’s actions, "Chen Tianlong, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, I’m about to break through. Mengting, keep sleeping, and, don’t look at me later, I might need to take off my clothes." Chen Tianlong grinned wryly.
"Take.... Take off clothes? I’m a bit tired, let’s not do it tonight?" Wu Mengting blushed and said.
"Oh, I meant... after the breakthrough, it might destroy my clothes, so....."
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting realized she misunderstood, her face flushed red as she quickly covered herself with the blanket, not daring to look at Chen Tianlong, "Go ahead and take them off. I won’t peek."
"Heh, but I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to look." Chen Tianlong smirked mischievously, Wu Mengting could imagine his lecherous expression, feeling a bit excited. Doing that at this time seemed tempting, something she hadn’t tried yet.
But the next moment, finding silence behind her, she wondered whether he had taken off his clothes already.
"Have you taken them off?" Wu Mengting asked softly.
"Yes, I’m bare; do you want to see? If not, I’ll focus on cultivating."
"Hmph, who wants to see you? Be serious, and careful not to go into Demonic Possession!" Wu Mengting said coldly before going back to sleep, yet her face remained flushed. This was her first time witnessing Chen Tianlong in such a situation—she always saw him under the blanket, never getting a good look at his physique.
So, after ten minutes, Wu Mengting secretly turned over and sneaked a glance.
Oh my!
What she saw shocked her.
Chen Tianlong’s chest muscles seemed bigger than hers, and his abdomen was chiseled with eight-pack abs. She wouldn’t have guessed her man was this strong, always assuming he was slender.
Her face turned bright red in an instant, knowing she saw something she shouldn’t have. Fortunately, Chen Tianlong was focused with his eyes closed, or she would have died of embarrassment if he caught her.
"Someone’s peeking!" Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s words frightened Wu Mengting, prompting her to turn away quickly and pretend to sleep.
