Chapter 930 - 928: Fooled
"Young Master Hao, what do you think?" Fang Dali asked Hao Shuai for his opinion.
Hao Shuai, naturally suspicious, heard the shout and the scouts’ report and clearly felt something was off. If reinforcements of tens of thousands arrived at this time, along with the tens of thousands of City Guards in the Ice Hall, their fifty thousand North City troops were likely to be in trouble.
"I think we should retreat for now, but not retreat too far back, just pull back two kilometers and see the situation!" Hao Shuai was still very shrewd. Although worried, he couldn’t miss such a great opportunity.
Fang Dali nodded in agreement and ordered the army to retreat two kilometers.
After they left, Chen Tianlong quickly rushed to the city gate with five hundred team members, and at this time, Bing Xiaotao came into play. She shouted at the city gate, "Sisters, open the door, it’s me, Bing Xiaotao!"
On top of the city gate.
Originally, the Matchmaker and her team saw the North City army had retreated two kilometers away and didn’t know why. Suddenly seeing a crowd gathered at the city gate, they were taken aback, then saw someone waving at them.
The Matchmaker squinted and saw it was Bing Xiaotao, whom she had sent out, and hurriedly ordered the gate to be opened to welcome the reinforcements.
Without delay, Chen Tianlong led five hundred warriors into the Ice Hall. At the same time, Fang Dali, observing through binoculars, saw this scene, realized they had fallen into a trap, and immediately got furious, rushing over with his army.
However, by then, the gates of the Ice Hall had already closed.
"Damn it, that kid tricked us, damn it, really damn it." Fang Dali cursed bitterly, realizing it was Chen Tianlong’s scheme.
"Yes, it was that kid Chen Tianlong, but since they’ve already gone in, they shouldn’t expect to come out." Hao Shuai’s face flashed a cold smile. With fifty thousand troops here, he was still confident.
"Hmm, that’s what I intend to do. In a few days, when the gates are breached, to hell with Chen Tianlong, they all can go to hell!" Fang Dali finally figured it out and ordered the army to approach the gate and set up camp outside.
Inside the Ice Hall.
Chen Tianlong entered the Ice Hall and hurried towards the main hall. Bing Ruxue was in her room, but upon hearing that Chen Tianlong had arrived, she was extremely nervous.
It had been a long time since they last met, and they had once shared intimacy. The man she missed day and night had arrived, how could she not be nervous?
Meanwhile, Wu Mengting closed the doors and windows, began to change into her most beautiful clothes, and put on the most lovely makeup. She wanted to face Chen Tianlong in her most beautiful form.
But, before she was ready, there was a knock on the door.
"Ruxue, are you in there? It’s me, Chen Tianlong." Chen Tianlong, worried about Bing Ruxue’s condition, couldn’t wait to come over. After all, he knew Bing Ruxue’s bedroom, where they had once eliminated the Cold Poison.
Because of this, they formed an inseparable bond.
"Ah? Nie... Chen Tianlong, wait a moment, I’ll come and open the door." Bing Ruxue was so nervous her heart was about to jump out. My god, Chen Tianlong is here, he’s just outside the door, what should I do, what should I do? The clothes aren’t even ready.
There was no way around it, since Chen Tianlong had already come, she couldn’t just let him wait outside forever.
Bracing herself, Bing Ruxue walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it. Sure enough, the person she saw was Chen Tianlong, still full of vitality, still so handsome, still making her heart skip a beat.
At this moment, Bing Ruxue felt like jumping into his arms and saying, "I missed you so much!"
However, she didn’t have the courage and could only say coldly, as usual, "You’re here, come in."
Chen Tianlong smiled, knowing this girl had always been like this; otherwise, she wouldn’t be called Bing Ruxue. Her naturally aloof temperament emitted waves of Cold Ice Qi, related to her Heart Method.
"Hmm, I didn’t expect the Cold Poison to act up so soon, thought it’d be around August or September." Chen Tianlong, unhurried, wasn’t disappointed by Bing Ruxue’s cold demeanor; instead, he missed that feeling more.
Now, with Li Bingshuang and Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong didn’t have many thoughts left for others.
"Hmm, hurry and help me remove it!" Bing Ruxue suppressed her inner excitement, pretending to be calm.
"Then... what will my reward be? I came in risking my life." Chen Tianlong, seeing Bing Ruxue’s icy demeanor, was a bit reluctant.
"What reward do you want?" Bing Ruxue suddenly lifted her head, her eyes gentle, lacking that cold charm.
"To see your enchanting smile!" Chen Tianlong grinned.
Finally, Bing Ruxue couldn’t hold back. This guy really left her wanting more, finally doing something unexpected.
She threw herself into Chen Tianlong’s arms, like a child, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
"It’s all my fault, destroying the Ice Hall, sisters died countless times, even if I die ten thousand times it’s not too much. Chen Tianlong, do you know, I’m so tired!" Bing Ruxue finally let out the words from her heart.
Even in front of the Matchmaker, she hadn’t said these words; only Chen Tianlong could hear the Ice Hall Master, who appeared strong externally but was fragile inside.
"Don’t be sad, if you’re tired, have a rest." Chen Tianlong, like coaxing a child, gently patted her shoulder. At this moment, Bing Ruxue felt an illusion, as if nestled in this man’s embrace, she wanted nothing else.
Even the Ice Hall’s century-old foundation seemed not so important to her at this moment.
After a long time, the two finally separated, and Bing Ruxue headed to the bathroom, entering the bathtub. Like before, the two sat in the same bathtub, with Chen Tianlong cultivating Qi, expelling her body’s Cold Poison and dispersing it through the medicinal water.
This time, surprisingly, Bing Ruxue didn’t ask Chen Tianlong to close his eyes, because she felt that even if Chen Tianlong wanted to do something to her, she would be willing.
However, Chen Tianlong had no such thoughts with her now. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to expel Bing Ruxue’s Cold Poison, then figure out how to drive away those outside, or even defeat Fang Dali.
But Chen Tianlong didn’t think his Profound Dao one-star strength could defeat Fang Dali’s Tunnel one-star. From the last battle, Chen Tianlong could sense that Fang Dali was comparable to the masters of the Fire Domain.
Fang Dali’s strength wasn’t about his Heart Method but his natural Divine Power, and he might have surpassed Tunnel one-star long ago, having settled at a certain level that Chen Tianlong currently couldn’t cope with Fang Dali’s strength.
Let alone the fact that he was leading fifty thousand elite soldiers, along with Tiger Generals.
After two hours of hard work, Chen Tianlong finally expelled the Cold Poison from Bing Ruxue’s body once more. Naturally, Bing Ruxue regained her previous combat capability, Tunnel one-star. But her body just recovered, needing at least a week to fully restore her strength.
