Chapter 982 - 980: Finally Understood
Chen Tianlong sat on that stool. On that day, the two of them sat here, talking about finding a place with no fighting and no fear, where they could watch the sunrise and sunset together.
A gentle breeze blew, and Chen Tianlong slowly fell asleep. He was really tired that day, his heart exhausted.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly a woman was standing right in front of him.
She was wearing a white dress, a delicate and pretty face with a shy purplish blush, rosy lips, a high delicate nose, a figure with alluring curves, and a pair of enchanting eyes, shy yet seductive.
"Chen Tianlong, I finally found you!"
Tears instantly welled up in Wu Mengting’s mesmerizing eyes.
"Mengting, is that you?"
Tears sprang from Chen Tianlong’s eyes. At the moment his heart had died, was it her? It must be her, that look in her eyes, like they had known each other for lifetimes, he had no doubt.
"Chen Tianlong, it’s me, Wu Mengting, your girlfriend." Wu Mengting started running towards him.
And Chen Tianlong smiled and cried, got up, and ran desperately towards Wu Mengting.
At that moment, they embraced...
"Mengting, hold me tight..."
"Mmm-hmm, Chen Tianlong, I’m holding tight, I won’t let go."
Everything returned to the starting point. After a flash of white light, Chen Tianlong lay on the ground, with Lin Wushuang next to him. This was a mysterious cave, and everything they had experienced before was an illusion in the white light of the array.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong finally understood.
It turns out there may be many people in this world willing to help you, but the one who can make you cry instantly is the only one, and Chen Tianlong knew, Wu Mengting was his only one.
The two of them looked at this very strange cave.
Apparently, this cave seemed inhabited, with many torches hanging around.
"Chen Tianlong, where is this place? So clean, like someone has lived here." Lin Wushuang noticed everything around and asked curiously.
"I’m not too sure either. It should be somewhere someone once lived, but I don’t know if they’re still here." Chen Tianlong started walking forward with Lin Wushuang in hand, determined not to let her leave his side even for a step.
If he could, he would rather carry Lin Wushuang in his arms as he walked.
But since Lin Wushuang wasn’t weak or injured now, she felt embarrassed to be carried by Chen Tianlong like that.
After about five minutes, they came to a brighter part of the cave, where there was a massive stone carving, with a small door on either side.
The stone carving was about five or six meters high and roughly one meter wide. Neither of them knew who it depicted. It was clearly less clean here, with some dust; it appeared that it hadn’t been maintained for quite some time.
Because of this, Chen Tianlong found it strange. Could it be that someone lives outside, but no one lives here?
With confusion, they continued onward, arriving next to the stone carving. Below the carving was a stone table, densely covered with inscriptions.
Chen Tianlong went over, gently brushed away the dust, then blew with his mouth, stirring up clouds of dust. He hurriedly stepped back a few steps, pulling Lin Wushuang into his embrace to protect her eyes from the dust.
Lin Wushuang was touched by this small gesture from Chen Tianlong; during this trip, she felt the depth of his care, her heart filled with sweetness, and she made a decision.
In the future, no matter what, she would always follow Chen Tianlong.
Once the dust settled, Chen Tianlong turned back and began to carefully examine the inscriptions.
"Here lies the ancestral god tomb of the Fire Element Heart Method, the Flame Daoist. Whoever sees these inscriptions shall carry forward the Fire Element Technique. Flame Daoist here, much obliged! The Heart Method consists of three volumes, divided into Magic Attack, Physical Attack, Medical Skill. Do not cultivate all three simultaneously; greed leads to loss!"
After reading this passage, Chen Tianlong was overjoyed; like finding a lost treasure without any effort. The Fire Element Heart Method they had been tirelessly searching for was all here.
Not only did he find a suitable Heart Method for Lin Wushuang, but there were three options.
Seeing the look of delight on Chen Tianlong’s face, Lin Wushuang curiously walked over and asked, "What’s the matter, Chen Tianlong? You look so happy."
"Haha, Wushuang, this is fantastic! I found a Fire Element Heart Method for you." Chen Tianlong said happily, then stepped forward to take the box from the indicated place by the arrow.
At that moment, suddenly there was a "click" sound. From the stone carving, several fist-sized holes appeared. Chen Tianlong was startled, sensing something was amiss.
Suddenly, flames shot out from these holes, moving rapidly and covering a vast area.
In no time, both of them were engulfed in a sea of fire by these wide-ranging flamethrower attacks.
The clothes on Chen Tianlong’s body were instantly turned to ashes. Seeing this, he hurriedly held Lin Wushuang, as she still had clothes on, to prevent them from being burned too, which would be awkward.
Although Chen Tianlong would indeed enjoy such a situation, walking bare with Wushuang would be terribly exciting.
Flames engulfed Chen Tianlong, initially feeling scorching hot, but soon a cooling sensation took over.
Shortly afterwards, the flames vanished, as if triggered by some recognition.
It turned out these were a test of validation flames designed by the creator. If someone was a legitimate Fire Element inheritor, they would be unharmed; indeed, just now they had been validated and passed.
Chen Tianlong remained without clothes, making Lin Wushuang’s cheeks blush red, embarrassed to look at him.
And Chen Tianlong felt quite awkward, yet Lin Wushuang decided to take off her jacket, as it wasn’t cold here anyway, and offered it to Chen Tianlong while covering her eyes, though she occasionally took a peek.
"No need to cover, I can see you." Chen Tianlong teased.
"Oh come on, which eye saw that, huh? I’m not looking at you."
"Hehe, still won’t admit it, I can see through the gaps between your fingers, what else are they for?"
"I wasn’t peeking, I was looking openly, okay? It’s nothing special, can’t I have a look?"
"... "
Chen Tianlong was speechless, but being teased by Lin Wushuang was quite charming in its own way.
Taking the jacket from Lin Wushuang, Chen Tianlong quickly tied it around his waist, looking somewhat presentable as his lower body was covered, and as for his upper body, being a guy, what was there to be concerned about? Though his pectoral muscles were well-developed and envied by many women, compared to Wushuang, it was indeed a small matter.
This girl had fully developed, currently at a C+, almost a D, exuding stunning magnificence.
After getting dressed, Chen Tianlong stopped teasing Lin Wushuang and walked back to the stone carving to retrieve the box from the groove.
Upon quickly opening the box, there were three scrolls inside, each very thin, indicating there wasn’t much content, yet they were all refined.
Upon opening the first scroll, Chen Tianlong found it was a Physical Attack Heart Method, named Wildfire Fist.
Considering that Lin Wushuang, being a girl, wouldn’t likely practice this due to its reliance on brute force, which was a bit aggressive, he put it away and picked up the second scroll.
The second scroll was entitled Fiery Flame Telekinesis Wave. From the name, Chen Tianlong immediately knew it was a Magic Attack, somewhat like a Powerful Qi Bomb, obviously for girls, since it didn’t require close combat.
