My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Wushuang’s Visit

So, the essence of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root lies in this point: when you can consistently execute a move that results in forming a Water Blade, then you can basically say you’ve accomplished it.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly made a move, his Sword Qi skimming the water’s surface, and, not long after, a somewhat incomplete Water Blade flew out but still dispersed upon hitting the waterfall.

Chen Tianlong felt a bit frustrated, as it was rare to form a Water Blade, yet its force and speed were obviously inadequate, failing to quickly penetrate the waterfall’s torrent.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry, knowing it wasn’t something that could be fully mastered in short order, so he continued practicing according to his comprehension. Thus, Chen Tianlong practiced for an entire day, and as dusk approached, he still hadn’t taken a break.

A Water Blade, skimming the water’s surface, suddenly shot out with a "whoosh" sound, finally piercing through the torrent. Although it fell to the ground shortly after passing through, it demonstrated that this method was feasible.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong secretly rejoiced, seeing some progress at last. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and as Chen Tianlong turned around, he saw it was Wushuang, carrying a small basket.

"Chen Tianlong, I’ve finally found you."

Lin Wushuang was evidently very happy and felt a bit distressed seeing Chen Tianlong covered in sweat, "Chen Tianlong, you must be tired, come and have something to eat."

"Hehe, I’m not tired."

However, seeing Wushuang’s concerned expression, Chen Tianlong immediately said, "Just in time, I’m hungry too. What delicious food did Wushuang bring me?"

"Haha, just a big bowl of rice, and I personally cooked a few dishes for you," Lin Wushuang said happily.

"Ah! Wushuang, you cooked it yourself? Then I must finish it all," he said, and without waiting for Wushuang’s approval, he took the basket and started eating heartily.

"So delicious, Wushuang’s cooking is awesome. You can cook for me often in the future," Chen Tianlong said, clearly very happy, as the dishes were quite tasty.

"No way, do you want me to become a housewife?" Wushuang playfully scolded.

"Ah? Why say that?" Chen Tianlong asked, somewhat puzzled. What does cooking have to do with being a housewife?

"You’re silly, the kitchen is full of smoke and oil. If I cook every day, won’t I be smoked black?" Lin Wushuang explained a bit shyly.

A woman discussing her skin with a man seemed slightly inappropriate.

"It doesn’t matter, Wushuang is beautiful no matter what," Chen Tianlong said casually while eating.

"Tch, you’re just trying to sweet-talk me. When I really become a housewife, you won’t want me anymore. Whom will I complain to then?" Lin Wushuang gave Chen Tianlong a sideways glance.

"Haha, listen to what you’re saying."

Chen Tianlong set down his chopsticks and hugged Wushuang, saying, "Even if you grow old, I’ll still want you. Always, and always."

Lin Wushuang knew, although these were just words to please her, she was very happy. At least it showed that Chen Tianlong wanted to make her happy by saying so, and she was content with that.

"Okay then, you said it, don’t regret it. I might as well cook every day and quickly become a housewife. If you ever don’t want me, I’ll... I’ll just stop playing with you."

Lin Wushuang couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh. She’s such a kind-hearted girl, kind by nature.

Chen Tianlong laughed heartily, gently kissed Wushuang’s forehead, and then said, "I’m finished eating; I’ll continue practicing. Wushuang, you can go back now; I’m not sure how long I’ll practice."

"No need, I’ll just sit here and watch you practice," Lin Wushuang decided immediately, then found a clean stone to sit on.

Chen Tianlong didn’t insist on asking Lin Wushuang to return. He knew she cared for him, so he leapt back into the water.

"Chen Tianlong, you can do it!" Lin Wushuang shouted supportively from the side.

Chen Tianlong turned back, smiled, and began to close his eyes and concentrate. Wushuang dared not disturb him further, quietly watching from the side, reminiscing about their joyful memories.

It was unexpected to her that, along the way, she and Chen Tianlong had weathered so many storms together, laughing and crying together.

This realization made Lin Wushuang feel that nothing else mattered much in this world, as long as her beloved was by her side, growing old together with her was the greatest happiness.

Chen Tianlong practiced diligently until night fell, and the air on the mountain became a bit chilly.

Lin Wushuang couldn’t help but sneeze. Naturally weak, like many women, she feared the cold, and though Lin Wushuang had a Fire Attribute constitution, she had less resistance to cold, making her more susceptible to it.

Hearing Lin Wushuang’s cough, Chen Tianlong immediately rushed out of the pool. Since it was nighttime already, he decided to take Wushuang home.

"Wushuang, let’s stop for today and come back tomorrow. It’s cold in the mountains; let’s hurry back," Chen Tianlong said with concern.

"Okay," Lin Wushuang agreed, hoping Chen Tianlong wouldn’t tire himself out so much.

Originally, Chen Tianlong intended to give Wushuang a princess carry and take her back, but having practiced in the pool for so long, his clothes were nearly soaked, making an embrace inconvenient.

He could only hold Wushuang’s hand as they walked back together.

Yun Zhonghe senior saw how late Chen Tianlong returned and was very pleased, thinking, "With his Immortal Bone and natural talent for Martial Arts, Chen Tianlong’s diligence will yield immeasurable strength in time."

Chen Tianlong went straight back to his room, changed clothes, and joined Wushuang for dinner.

The night passed quietly, and Chen Tianlong rose early, returning to yesterday’s spot to begin his training.

Today, with the experience he gained last night, Chen Tianlong was certain he’d make progress. Following the previous method, he executed his move with force, and his Sword Qi skimmed across the water’s surface.

Finally, a miracle occurred; the Water Blade penetrated the waterfall’s torrent without hesitation, striking the rock behind, knocking off a few small stones with a "crackling" sound. This power was evidently comparable to Yun Zhonghe senior’s demonstration.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong was thrilled and hurriedly continued practicing, endlessly repeating the exercise until noon.

At this time, when Lin Wushuang had agreed to bring lunch, she hadn’t arrived yet, so Chen Tianlong decided to practice a bit longer and stop when Wushuang came.

But just then, a Sword Qi swiftly cut through the leaves ahead with a "whooshing" noise.

Caught up in his concentration, Chen Tianlong thought it might be the sound of Lin Wushuang’s arrival but immediately sensed something amiss, as the sound was urgent, hinting at a forewarning of danger.
