My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Wu Mengting Poisoned

"Hehe, everyone being happy is truly the best." Fatty Xu replied happily.

Just as Fatty Xu left, Pure Yang Feifei walked over, holding a pill ready to hand it to Chen Tianlong.

But for some reason, lost in thought, she suddenly looked up and saw Chen Tianlong smiling at her. Her face turned bright red in an instant, and her hand unconsciously loosened, causing the pill to fall.

Chen Tianlong’s reflexes were incredibly sharp. He quickly crouched and reached out to catch it, but the next moment, he felt something soft in his hand. Upon closer look, it turned out he was holding a jade-like hand.

"Huh?"

Chen Tianlong suddenly realized it was Pure Yang Feifei’s hand. The silky feeling was similar to Lin Wushuang’s, and for a moment, Chen Tianlong thought he was holding Lin Wushuang’s hand, so he was reluctant to let go.

"You... you better let go of me." Pure Yang Feifei, evidently a bit shy, glared at Chen Tianlong and said.

"Huh? Oh."

Chen Tianlong quickly let go, and Pure Yang Feifei swiftly retracted her hand.

"Alright, here’s the medicine, catch it."

Saying this, Pure Yang Feifei tossed it over. Chen Tianlong knew she was deliberately acting angry, so he casually caught the pill and put it back into his belt pouch.

After Lin Wushuang received her pill, she walked over and stood beside Chen Tianlong, saying, "Chen Tianlong, I’ve got my pill, how about you?"

"Haha, I got mine too, but I got one more than you." Chen Tianlong said with a smile.

"Huh? How did you get one more?" Lin Wushuang asked, surprised and curious.

"It’s a reward from Sect Leader Pure Yang Daoist for luring the Divine Dragon." Chen Tianlong replied.

"Wow, that’s great, Chen Tianlong, you’re amazing." Lin Wushuang praised.

"Hehe, not really, just average."

After showing off a bit, Chen Tianlong continued, "Wushuang, once we’re back in the room, let’s take it immediately. I’ll help you enhance your skills and physique."

"Alright!"

Lin Wushuang was also very willing, understanding that strength is extremely important for a cultivator. If she becomes strong enough, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t have to worry so much about her.

Before long, everyone had received their prizes, faces beaming with smiles, holding pills like treasures; many even had special boxes to hide them away.

Lin Wushuang handed her pill to Chen Tianlong for safekeeping. As everyone dispersed, it was about lunchtime, and the two headed to the dining hall for a meal.

Finding a spot to sit down, they noticed two ladies at the entrance. It was Hua Xiang and Qiukui, known as Wu Mengting during the trial.

The two met during this trial and felt a great rapport, deciding to team up.

"Qiukui, let’s sit here." Hua Xiang pointed to a table across from Chen Tianlong.

"Mm."

Wu Mengting gave a faint hum as she sat down, obviously not realizing Chen Tianlong was right across her.

Chen Tianlong was enjoying his meal, and when he looked up, his and Wu Mengting’s eyes met. Wu Mengting’s face immediately turned red.

"Qiukui, what’s wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?" Hua Xiang noticed Wu Mengting’s flushed face and asked with concern.

"Huh? I’m... I’m fine."

Wu Mengting quickly came to her senses and pretended to adjust her clothes.

Chen Tianlong also saw and found it amusing, but inside he felt differently. He wondered why this girl always had such a strong reaction whenever she saw him.

Could she have a secret crush on me?

Chen Tianlong narcissistically thought, but he surprisingly guessed correctly. To some extent, Wu Mengting did have a secret crush on him, because Chen Tianlong had no idea of her real identity, or even remember knowing someone like her.

The two were like strangers.

Chen Tianlong shook his head and continued digging into his noodles. Lin Wushuang curiously observed Chen Tianlong’s actions, feeling puzzled. Then she turned to see Wu Mengting adjusting her clothes.

A surge of jealousy swept through Lin Wushuang’s heart. She wondered silently, "Could Chen Tianlong be interested in this Qiukui? Last time in the Five Elements Extreme Realm, I already sensed something off."

Hence, Lin Wushuang planned to ask Chen Tianlong about it later.

However, Lin Wushuang suddenly realized that Qiukui seemed familiar. Though her face seemed somewhat different, and it was impossible for that person to be here, if she were okay, she would come to find Chen Tianlong herself.

"It shouldn’t be her." Lin Wushuang sighed with relief, thinking of Wu Mengting.

Soon, a variety of dishes were served on Wu Mengting’s table. The Trial Takers from Celestial Pill Sect mostly comprised Attribute Female Cultivators, so they preferred vegetarian dishes over noodle dishes.

Meanwhile, the male Trial Takers mainly indulged in meat dishes, with few vegetables. Wu Mengting’s table had four or five vegetarian dishes, and of course, two meat dishes.

Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang both had a bowl of beef noodles and only a few greens, finishing them quickly. Standing up, Chen Tianlong asked with a smile, "Wushuang, are you full? Do you want another serving?"

Honestly, the Celestial Pill Sect’s beef noodles were really good, both finished the bowl down to the last drop of soup. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Do you think I’m a pig or something?"

Lin Wushuang playfully rolled her eyes at Chen Tianlong and stood up to leave.

As they passed by Wu Mengting’s table, Lin Wushuang took a special look at her. In an instant, Lin Wushuang saw an extraordinarily beautiful girl, one that anyone would want to cherish, with a tender face, delicate features, jet-black hair, and a graceful figure.

Yet this face seemed somewhat familiar, like Wu Mengting’s, but also not quite.

However, Lin Wushuang suddenly noticed that Wu Mengting’s face seemed to show a slight paleness, something seemed amiss, but due to her lingering jealousy, Lin Wushuang didn’t pay much attention and continued walking out.

Chen Tianlong followed behind, one after the other, as they left.

"Qiukui, what’s wrong? Qiukui, don’t scare me, someone help!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Chen Tianlong’s acute hearing and Qi were first to catch Hua Xiang’s voice. He quickly turned around, only to see Hua Xiang shaking Wu Mengting beside her and shouting.

Lin Wushuang also seemed to sense something was wrong and rushed over with Chen Tianlong.

When Chen Tianlong reached them, seeing Wu Mengting’s pale face, he quickly checked her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart was still beating. Yet, he frowned deeply because her pulse was very chaotic.

He hastily lifted Wu Mengting’s eyelids for a look, only to see her pupils turning white, and a pale blue tint on her skin.

"Not good, she’s been poisoned."

At this moment, Chen Tianlong was entirely certain that Wu Mengting was poisoned, though what kind, he still didn’t know and would proceed with verification before making a judgment.

At this moment, cultivators dining nearby gathered around, but none knew what to do.

Soon, Pure Yang Daoist called for a doctor, one of the highly esteemed doctors from the Celestial Pill Sect. After checking her pulse, he too shook his head.
