Chapter 980 - 978: Searching for an Exit
Chen Tianlong was not greedy; after all, in just that short moment, he broke through to Celestial Dao Two Stars, which was the fastest breakthrough he had made during this period.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong started walking towards Lin Wushuang.
At that moment, Lin Wushuang’s face was still blushing red, clearly still embarrassed.
Chen Tianlong purposely hugged her from behind, but unexpectedly, as soon as he did, Lin Wushuang turned around and kissed him.
Chen Tianlong was startled, wondering what this girl was up to. Could she have gotten too excited seeing his body?
But since no one was around, Chen Tianlong went along with it and kissed Lin Wushuang for a while.
Though Lin Wushuang was impulsive, she was not reckless to that extent. The two ultimately did not proceed further and stopped at the final step.
After all, there was no safety equipment here, what if she really got pregnant?
After all, they were just high school sophomores. Lin Wushuang did not want to go to class with a big belly—it would be a real embarrassment. Her wish was to continue enjoying a beautiful high school life with her beloved in this season of falling flowers.
Clearly, Chen Tianlong was also not in a hurry, and he was quite overwhelmed; both the young lady and Wu Mengting were obviously tigresses, and two tigers couldn’t coexist on one mountain, giving him quite a headache.
Just then, suddenly, the cave started to tremble. Chen Tianlong frowned a little, this situation seemed familiar, making him a bit worried. If the cave truly collapsed, it would be trouble.
While he was thinking, suddenly the cave’s tremors became more intense.
"Chen Tianlong, it seems like an earthquake, how terrifying!" Lin Wushuang was startled, an earthquake in a cave was so dangerous, very possibly they both could be buried inside.
"Hmm, Wushuang, don’t worry, I’ll try to see if we can get out of here." With previous experience, Chen Tianlong jumped to the top of the cave, clung to it like Spider-Man, knocked a few times, then jumped back down.
At this moment, he was even more frustrated; this cave top was clearly different from before, very thick, and not just ordinarily thick, possibly several hundred meters of rock above the cave.
No choice, Chen Tianlong could only look around the cave; they couldn’t get out from here, they had to find another exit.
If the ancestors had discovered this place before, they would have surely left an escape door, otherwise if something really happened, they would just be trapped inside.
Chen Tianlong tapped along the stone walls, hoping to find something special.
"Chen Tianlong, there seems like there’s a bowl here, is it some kind of mechanism?"
Having watched many costume dramas, Lin Wushuang knew that ancient mechanisms usually had a bowl or vase placed alongside them. Seeing this big bowl, Lin Wushuang blurted out.
Upon hearing Lin Wushuang say this, Chen Tianlong rushed over to observe, feeling there might be something suspicious. So, without delay, Chen Tianlong hurriedly twisted the bowl left and right, but there was no reaction.
At that moment, the cave tremors intensified, shaking to the extent that they couldn’t stand properly.
Lin Wushuang fell to the ground; Chen Tianlong quickly picked her up, but at that instant, a door opened on the stone wall.
"Chen Tianlong, seems like it will turn if I do it."
Lin Wushuang turned and twisted the big bowl on the ground, smiling as she spoke.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, perhaps this mechanism was specifically designed for descendants, and wouldn’t work for others.
The two quickly entered the cave; as soon as they stepped in, the previous cave started collapsing. Chen Tianlong reacted quickly, picked up Lin Wushuang, and sprinted swiftly along the tunnel.
The collapsing followed closely behind, until they encountered a patch of white light ahead; Chen Tianlong thought they had reached the outside, hurriedly stopped at the entrance, only to find the collapsing hadn’t stopped behind them.
Amidst the vast white before him, he couldn’t see anything clearly.
Chen Tianlong closed his eyes, operating the Heart Method, hoping to use X-ray vision to see through the white light.
But he found that it was boundless.
Just in the blink of an eye, the collapse reached his feet, with no choice, Chen Tianlong jumped down holding Lin Wushuang.
"Wushuang, no matter what, hold onto me tightly." Despite holding Lin Wushuang tightly, Chen Tianlong was worried that jumping down would separate them.
"Mm-hmm, I will."
Lin Wushuang clung tightly to Chen Tianlong, and feeling her strength, Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief.
However, amidst the weightlessness, both fell unconscious.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Tianlong awoke as if from a dream, suddenly realizing he was amidst tile-roofed houses, the surroundings very familiar.
"Tianlong, are you awake? Then quickly go hunt up the mountain, and bring back some mountain herbs for me." Suddenly, a middle-aged woman spoke to the Chen Tianlong on the bed.
Chen Tianlong opened his eyes, suddenly frowning, wasn’t he just holding onto Lin Wushuang, jumping into a patch of white? What’s this, why is he back home?
"Auntie, how long have I been asleep?" Chen Tianlong thought he had been gravely injured and unconscious for a long time, then possibly brought home for treatment.
"Did you become foolish? You just slept for one night, hurry up, it’s morning, what dream are you talking about?" Chen Tian was evidently a bit impatient: "You used to wake up at six daily for exercise, now look, it’s almost eight, the sun’s high in the sky!"
Chen Tianlong suddenly was dumbfounded, what’s going on, was he dreaming or what?
So, Chen Tianlong pinched his thigh hard, nearly crying from the pain.
"Wait, Auntie, what’s today’s year, month, and date?"
Chen Tianlong felt something was wrong, if this was real, then was everything before just his dream? How could it be? Over nine hundred Chapters, how could it be a dream!
"Come on, can’t you check the calendar yourself, I’m not bothered with you, I’m going to cook." Shaking her head, Chen Tian left Chen Tianlong’s bedroom.
After putting on his clothes, Chen Tianlong looked at the nearby calendar and was stunned.
August 28, 2016, wasn’t this the time he had just left home, preparing to head to South Sea City? What’s going on? Could all before have been a dream?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong collapsed onto the bed, unable to calm himself for a long time.
Where was his dear Wu Mengting, the stubborn young lady, and adorable Lu Xiaoyu, and sexy Shen Yan, where were they?
At this moment, Chen Tianlong really wanted to cry, all the time he was busy working, never realizing their preciousness, now when like a dream nothing exists, suddenly his heart was endlessly empty.
If everything before was truly his dream, it would be such a heartbreaking thing, having so genuinely experienced love and pain, yet still having to treat it like a dream.
Chen Tianlong didn’t believe it; he thought this was the dream, not reality.
So, he stood up, walked outside, this was Chen Family Village, outside was a field, looking out, it was desolate.
Chen Tianlong discovered that his strength was so weak, he wasn’t a cultivator at all; instead, he was just a physically fit martial artist, his strength reset to the beginning, only possessing Powerful Qi.
