Chapter 987 - 985: Saving Lives
If the fire poison spews from his throat, it might affect the nerves in his head and could burn part of the brain’s nerves at the moment the fire poison is expelled.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong said, "There’s a problem now. Although I’ve controlled the fire poison, it won’t come out."
"Ah?"
Hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, the woman was surprised again. She had no idea what to do while Chen Tianlong spoke so professionally, leaving her mostly just surprised.
"Then, what if I absorb it into my body?" Lin Wushuang suddenly suggested.
Since she could absorb Extreme Flame Qi in the cave, she should be able to handle this fire poison as well.
"This... might not be a good idea."
Chen Tianlong was a bit worried. Lin Wushuang’s constitution and Heart Method could indeed absorb the fire poison into her body, but if not handled properly, it could pose a life-threatening danger.
"Chen Tianlong, I will be fine, trust me." Lin Wushuang couldn’t bear the idea of the little girl losing her father at such a young age, so she gritted her teeth and said.
Seeing Lin Wushuang’s determined expression, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, nodded, and at that moment, Lin Wushuang approached the man’s back, began to operate her Cultivation Technique, and placed her palm on his back, allowing Chen Tianlong to release his hold.
Before long, a wave of heat was gradually absorbed into Lin Wushuang’s body through her arm. After feeling a moment of pain, Lin Wushuang felt it dissipate.
About ten minutes later, the fire poison was removed. The man slowly opened his eyes, but his body was still very weak. He clearly felt that someone was helping him.
"Dear, who are these people?"
The man, upon waking up and seeing these two strangers before him, was not alarmed. He knew these were the people who saved him, and they certainly wouldn’t harm his family.
"Husband, these two are your saviors. Let’s thank them quickly." The woman, with her young daughter, bowed to Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang.
After doing all this, the woman prepared a sumptuous dinner for Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang. They were herders, lacking in many things, but they had plenty of mutton and beef.
After enjoying a hearty meal, Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang did not linger but quickly left the yurt. It had been a full day and night, and they must return to the Qilin Tribe to learn about Cheng Yiyi’s situation.
The two did not enter the Qilin Tribe through regular channels. Instead, Chen Tianlong carried Lin Wushuang and flew over the wall. Although Lin Wushuang had cultivated her Heart Method and upgraded quickly, she was only at Profound Dao level three-star and hadn’t yet reached that level of capability.
Within one day, she had upgraded her strength to Profound Dao, which was heaven-defying, unless someone specifically and forcibly helped her improve by consuming their Powerful Qi to forcibly enhance her strength.
However, in such a case, that expert would lose all their strength for a short period.
To recover would also take a month or so. After all, they didn’t have a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique like Chen Tianlong that could restore physical and Powerful Qi; relying solely on the scant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in nature was far from sufficient.
Once inside the city, they quickly entered the Qilin Tribe. Previously, Chen Tianlong had left the Divine Dog outside the Forbidden Land, allowing it to hide and then find Cheng Yiyi and the others. At this moment, if the Divine Dog could scent them, it would surely appear quickly.
Thus, Chen Tianlong did not rashly charge into the critical areas of the Qilin Tribe but hid behind a large rock. It was now evening, the sky was gray, and the temperature began to drop slowly.
"Chen Tianlong, what are we waiting for?" Lin Wushuang, unfamiliar with the Divine Dog, didn’t know what Chen Tianlong was waiting for.
"We’re waiting for a little friend."
"A little friend?"
Lin Wushuang was taken aback, asking curiously.
"Hehe, yes, you’ll see soon enough." Chen Tianlong replied with a mysterious smile.
After waiting for a little while, there was suddenly some movement in the grass not far away. Chen Tianlong looked closely and immediately saw the Divine Dog cautiously making its way toward them.
"Divine Dog, over here!" Chen Tianlong called softly.
The Divine Dog, having heard Chen Tianlong’s cue, did not delay any longer and quickly ran over.
Chen Tianlong opened his arms and caught the Divine Dog. Lin Wushuang was surprised, covering her mouth with her hand in disbelief that the little friend Chen Tianlong referred to was actually a little dog.
"Wow, the little dog is so cute. Chen Tianlong, is this what you were waiting for?" Lin Wushuang was somewhat incredulous, wondering what use a little dog could have after waiting so long.
"Yes, but it’s not just an ordinary little dog. It’s a Divine Dog that can change size, amazing isn’t it?" Chen Tianlong said with a laugh.
"I see, so this is what you call a Spirit Beast?" Lin Wushuang, having been with Chen Tianlong for a while and exposed to so much cultivation stuff, understood what a Spirit Beast was.
"Yes... Divine Dog, please take us to find Cheng Yiyi and the others!" Chen Tianlong didn’t delay any further, and with Lin Wushuang, they followed the Divine Dog to begin their search for Cheng Yiyi and the others.
Meanwhile, in the main guest room of the Qilin Tribe, Cheng Yiyi and Cheng Biao were each confined in their rooms. Although not mistreated, they were not allowed to step outside even half a step except when food and drinks were delivered, which was quite frustrating.
Cheng Yiyi was not anxious; she knew that if they didn’t return within a day, her father would definitely take action. However, as it was nearly nightfall on the second day without news, they were anxious.
"Could something have happened to Father?" Cheng Yiyi wondered.
At that moment, she noticed some movement by the window behind her. Cheng Yiyi instinctively looked over and saw a small dog run inside, followed by Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang entering the room.
"Ah?"
"Shh..."
Chen Tianlong quickly made a silencing gesture to prevent Cheng Yiyi from crying out.
"Chen Tianlong, you... you’re all alright."
Seeing Chen Tianlong, Cheng Yiyi was evidently very happy. She knew that the guy Chen Tianlong couldn’t be defeated that easily and would definitely find a way back.
The three of them moved to the bathroom, closed the door to prevent the sound from reaching those outside, and turned on the faucet to let the sound of running water cover their conversation.
After a moment of adjustment, Cheng Yiyi looked at Lin Wushuang beside her. Her fair skin and beautiful face made her tremble, feeling deeply inadequate compared to her.
"Is this... Lin Wushuang? So beautiful." Cheng Yiyi couldn’t help but praise.
Lin Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then blushed shyly. Being praised at times also made her feel bashful.
Seeing Lin Wushuang blush only made her more enchanting, leaving Cheng Yiyi somewhat dazed. No wonder Chen Tianlong didn’t immediately take interest in her; his friends were all so pretty.
Now Cheng Yiyi felt that being a little girlfriend was good enough; there was no point in competing for first place.
"Yiyi, where is Cheng Biao the butler? Where is he?" Chen Tianlong asked, not noticing Cheng Yiyi’s expression as something else came to his mind.
"Mr. Cheng is next door, but we are both under house arrest. There are people guarding outside, and there are surveillance cameras at the door," Cheng Yiyi replied.
