My Pretty Campus Queen

Chen Tianlong looked at these people and found it amusing, and suddenly thought of a plan. If they were to attack later, sneaking in without anyone noticing and poisoning them, wouldn’t that be winning without a fight?

With that thought, Chen Tianlong had a plan. To avoid suspicion, he only took some steamed buns and a jug of water, then headed to where the clothes and quilts were being dried. He casually grabbed a quilt and ran into the cave.

If a quilt is missing, it shouldn’t be a big deal. The wind is strong here, it might have blown down the mountain. But if a bowl of meat was missing, that’d be different. Everyone knows military discipline; stealing food is a serious offense. One, it shows you’re slacking off; two, you broke the rules by stealing food.

So, Chen Tianlong didn’t think much about stealing the quilt and ran straight into the cave.

Wu Mengting was spacing out inside when she suddenly heard a rumble as the stone door opened. She quickly hid to the side. Before leaving, Chen Tianlong had told her to hide if someone came, so she instinctively thought it was an enemy.

However, the next moment, she saw Chen Tianlong tiptoeing in, carrying a bag, a water jug hanging from his neck, and a quilt in his arms. He looked comically ridiculous, making Mengting burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong was momentarily speechless but quickly set the things down and closed the stone door.

Inside the cave, there was a simple bed covered with some straw. Chen Tianlong placed the quilt on it, and the two sat down to eat.

"Mengting, bear with it for a few days and eat some steamed buns. Once we understand the military situation, we’ll go down the mountain for some good food," Chen Tianlong said somewhat apologetically.

"Chen Tianlong, what are you saying? Having food is enough. I can endure hardship!" Wu Mengting smiled and said.

"Hehe, alright, when Kuang Chenggong is chased out of Huaxia, we’ll find a quiet place to live peacefully,"

Chen Tianlong looked at Mengting affectionately and said firmly.

"Sure, sure, then we’ll find Wushuang. I miss her," Wu Mengting knew Lin Wushuang was already Chen Tianlong’s fiancée, a fact that couldn’t be changed, and she accepted it willingly.

After all, this matter was bound to happen; from the beginning, the destinies of the three were decided like this.

Indeed, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath; Lin Wushuang had already left an indelible mark on his heart. Completely giving up on Lin Wushuang was impossible. Not to mention how heartbroken she would be, he wouldn’t easily break the promises he had made.

"Wushuang? Why are you bringing her up?"

Chen Tianlong was still not ready to face this love. After all, to him, no one could replace Mengting, although Lin Wushuang had a faint presence in his heart.

"Well, Wushuang, I think she’s great. I... really hope Feifei can live with us too." Wu Mengting bit her lip and made a decision.

"Ah? Live together?"

Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but be a bit joyful upon hearing Wu Mengting’s words. But on second thought, he felt something was off. Was Wu Mengting saying this on purpose to test him?

So, Chen Tianlong smiled lightly and said, "Wushuang is great, but right now I just want to be with you..."

"No, Chen Tianlong, you can’t be so selfish. Wushuang gave up her status as a young lady; I can see she loves you very much."

Wu Mengting thought of Lin Wushuang, who step by step gave up her noble status for Chen Tianlong, and she couldn’t bear to hurt her.

If Lin Wushuang had never loved Chen Tianlong, and Chen Tianlong never liked Lin Wushuang, it would be fine. Long pain is worse than short pain, but the two indeed have each other in their hearts, which is very unfair to them.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong was utterly confused, rendered speechless.

However, Wu Mengting’s next move surprised him even more. She suddenly kneeled on the ground with a plop and said somewhat pleadingly, "Chen Tianlong, consider it my request. Please accept Wushuang; she loves you very much."

At this moment, Chen Tianlong was astonished beyond comprehension; it left him in an awkward position.

He thought this must be Wu Mengting’s test.

Yes! It must be a test; it can’t be real.

"Hehe, Mengting, get up, don’t scare me. No need to request," Chen Tianlong pretended it was a joke and quickly helped Mengting up.

"Chen Tianlong, I’m serious. If you don’t agree, I won’t get up." Wu Mengting said with a very serious expression, and seeing this, Chen Tianlong knew this time Mengting meant it.

"Mengting, you’re not joking, are you? Asking me to accept Wushuang?" Chen Tianlong started to take it seriously when he saw her determination.

"Yes, I’m serious. I want to be with Wushuang... marry you!"

At this, Mengting’s face turned red. Although having two wives, like someone with Chen Tianlong’s achievements, wasn’t a big deal, saying this herself made her modest nature feel shy.

"What?"

Chen Tianlong was dumbfounded; he was utterly stunned by Wu Mengting. The happiness came too quickly, and he could hardly believe his ears.

"Don’t you like Wushuang and want her to marry you along with me?" Mengting looked at Chen Tianlong’s bewildered expression, feeling a bit puzzled.

On hearing this, Chen Tianlong felt that Mengting might change her mind, so he quickly said, "Haha, is it true what you said?"

"Hmph, if you don’t want it, forget it."

Wu Mengting saw the expression on Chen Tianlong’s face and knew he had accepted, so she wanted to tease him a bit.

"Huh? No way, just now you..."

Chen Tianlong felt heartbroken. It was all his fault for hesitating earlier, and now this is his punishment as she changes her mind again.

"What about just now? Times change, and just so happily decided, I won’t marry you, humph!" As she spoke, Wu Mengting pretended to be angry, walked to the nearby bed, and lay down to rest.

Chen Tianlong was speechless, but he knew Wu Mengting was definitely joking, as he had never seen her lose her temper at him. So, he said nothing more, went over, lay on the bed, and gently embraced Mengting.

Wu Mengting slowly turned around, gently snuggling into his arms.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, gradually closed their eyes...

In the Fire Dragon Stronghold.

Wu Guangzu and Xiao Feng had more or less trained the troops; at least they resembled a normal army now.

At this moment, the food supplies would only last for less than five days, so they were preparing to attack the Assassin Group. This moment had been long awaited for Wu Guangzu; each day and night felt like torment, with Master Fang Yan’s words echoing in his ears.

Additionally, the person Wu Guangzu missed the most was Chen Tianlong.

Since the time Wu Guangzu was seriously injured, Chen Tianlong had not been seen again, including Gu Yuxin.

That night, looking at the star-filled sky, Wu Guangzu was drinking alone at a table outdoors. Although he originally didn’t like to drink, he slowly started to enjoy drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Gu Yuxin happened to walk by and saw Wu Guangzu drinking alone, so she slowly walked over. Wu Guangzu sensed someone behind him, turned his head abruptly, and upon seeing Gu Yuxin, immediately beamed with joy.

"Yu Xin, it’s you, come sit here and drink with me."

Clearly, seeing Gu Yuxin brightened Wu Guangzu’s mood, though he didn’t know why.

"Sure, okay."

Gu Yuxin was naturally a straightforward person; although she didn’t really like drinking, since Wu Guangzu invited her, she wouldn’t refuse.

She walked over directly, plopped down on the stone table next to Wu Guangzu, grabbed a glass, and started pouring the wine.

They both took a drink, and Gu Yuxin downed it in one gulp. After drinking, her face felt hot. She was the type to blush quickly, but it didn’t mean she was drunk.

Seeing her now with pink, flushed cheeks, Wu Guangzu couldn’t help but swallow hard. He liked Gu Yuxin already, and now seeing her beauty, how could he not react?

Although Wu Guangzu was usually serious, he was a man, and some reactions are normal and inevitable.

At that moment, Gu Yuxin noticed Wu Guangzu’s expression, looked down at her chest, saw nothing unusual, and shyly asked, "Wu, is there something dirty on my face?"

"Ah? Uh, no."

Wu Guangzu was captivated by Gu Yuxin’s beauty, having stared blankly earlier, and was flustered when suddenly questioned. Luckily, he reacted quickly; otherwise, it would’ve been awkward.

Gu Yuxin certainly understood Wu Guangzu’s thoughts. That night, that kiss Wu Guangzu might not remember, but she remembered vividly. Although it wasn’t her first kiss, it was significant to her.

Of course, her first kiss had been with Chen Tianlong. At their first meeting, they humorously shared a deep kiss, the thought of which still made Gu Yuxin’s cheeks flush. That feeling was entirely different from a kiss with Wu Guangzu.

From that moment, she knew her love was for Chen Tianlong, not Wu Guangzu.

"Ahem... Wu Guangzu, it’s late already. I should go to bed. You should sleep early too, and don’t drink too much. In a few days, we’ll attack the Assassin Group, and as the captain, you must stay alert and vigilant."

After all, Gu Yuxin prioritized the important matters.

"Yes, I understand."

At such times, Wu Guangzu remained relatively clear-headed. Personal feelings had to be set aside; reclaiming the Assassin Group was the most important task.

The night passed without words, and the next morning, the Assassin Group’s guard team had reached five hundred men.

In these two days, they had to undergo final trials, as this battle was of great significance, a do-or-die situation. Everyone understood they needed a detailed plan and meticulous deployment.

Wu Guangzu, of course, was the most anxious. This was the only opportunity; failing to capitalize on it meant a future attack would be nearly impossible.

Kuang Chenggong would undoubtedly reinforce his forces and set traps; even if they managed to attack, reclaiming the Assassin Group was uncertain.

So before training, Wu Guangzu convened a meeting. All squadron leaders and Special Assassination Team members gathered in the room.

Everyone knew the critical battle was imminent. As the saying goes, "Train troops for a thousand days to use them for one moment." Past training wasn’t the key; the key was to fight this battle well, with victory as the only option.
