My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1279: Hotel Accommodation

Naturally, the injury would only get more serious, but luckily Chen Tianlong had held back some of his strength when he struck. Otherwise he might very well have beaten Tan Xianglan to death on the spot.

"Hmph, it’s all your fault. You hit so hard, my chest still feels tight. It’s killing me." Tan Xianglan pouted and complained irritably.

"Oh, you were the one who pushed me into it. I didn’t want to fight you at all. Besides, you can’t beat me anyway."

Chen Tianlong grinned and went on, "So, feeling any better now? I’ve already protected your Heart Meridian and sent a huge amount of Powerful Qi into you. You should be back to normal in a bit."

Tan Xianglan took a deep breath and sure enough felt much more comfortable; that earlier discomfort was gone. Remembering what Chen Tianlong had just said, she was a little puzzled.

She wasn’t someone who specialized in studying all these strength and Cultivation Technique matters, but she was a cultivator after all and had a general understanding of Powerful Qi. Normally, once you use your Powerful Qi, it takes a while to fully recover. But hearing what Chen Tianlong said, it sounded like he’d poured a lot of Powerful Qi into her. Then... wouldn’t he be very weak now?

"Why... why would you inject Powerful Qi into me? Don’t you know how important Powerful Qi is to a cultivator? Doing this will weaken your strength." Tan Xianglan’s words gradually smoothed out, losing their earlier sharpness.

"Mind your own business!"

Chen Tianlong didn’t feel like explaining too much; she might not understand anyway. "Alright, you’re recovered, I’m heading out. That thing you promised me before, I’m guessing you’re not going to honor it, right?"

"Hmph, who says I won’t? Losing is losing. I said it and it counts. From now on I’m your girlfriend. Just say what you want to do." Tan Xianglan didn’t want to play tricks; since she lost, she’d own up to it.

When Chen Tianlong heard that, he was secretly delighted. What was this chick implying, reminding him to make a move or something?

But after thinking it over, Chen Tianlong decided he’d better not stir up trouble. He was on a mission this time—how had it turned into picking up girls again?

"Alright, I’m done playing with you. I’m going to find a room to get some rest." Chen Tianlong didn’t waste time and walked straight ahead.

"Hey, what do you mean by that? I just personally admitted I’m your girlfriend and you’re ignoring me? Are you playing with me?"

Tan Xianglan said angrily. She was, after all, a beautiful girl; how could Shen Tian joke around like this? She’d agreed to his terms and he acted like he didn’t care at all.

"Oh, I’m tired and I’m going to find a room to sleep. Or are you planning to sleep with me?"

"Then I’m tired too. I’m also going to find a room to sleep. Didn’t you say I’m your girlfriend? Then as a boyfriend, are you really just going to dump your girlfriend on the side of the road?" Tan Xianglan glared at Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong was a bit helpless. How did Tan Xianglan slip into the role-playing mode so quickly? Weren’t they just joking around? Why did it feel so real?

"Alright, if you want to sleep, then come with me." Chen Tianlong had no choice. Clearly this girl had never been away from home; she didn’t even know how to find a hotel.

Seeing that Chen Tianlong had agreed, Tan Xianglan hurried after him, but the two of them didn’t say anything more.

Close to midnight, the street was very quiet. Other than the occasional car passing by, there was only the night wind blowing. In early spring, Guiyang was still quite cold at night.

"Achoo!"

Suddenly, Tan Xianglan sneezed, clearly chilled by the cold.

Chen Tianlong took a couple more steps, then, feeling a bit sorry for her, took off his thin jacket, turned around, and draped it over Tan Xianglan’s shoulders.

"Ugh, such a strong sweaty smell, eww..."

Tan Xianglan instinctively pushed it away a bit. Chen Tianlong was speechless. "Do you want it or not? If not, forget it."

"I want it! Why are you so fierce? You don’t know how to treat a delicate beauty at all."

Tan Xianglan pouted and pulled the jacket back over herself. Just now it had been nothing more than her instinctive resistance to physical contact with a guy. There was no way Chen Tianlong actually smelled sweaty—this Five Elements and Seven Attributes physique wasn’t for show.

No matter how hot or cold it was, his body’s ability to regulate itself was insanely strong, so he didn’t really have any noticeable body odor.

Chen Tianlong could only give a wry smile and said nothing more, continuing forward. Walking behind him alone, Tan Xianglan felt a bit scared and quickly sped up, grabbing hold of his arm. "I’m a little scared. Let me borrow your arm to hold onto."

Chen Tianlong froze for a moment, then didn’t make any particular reaction, letting Tan Xianglan cling to him as the two walked side by side.

Right now, Tan Xianglan suddenly had a strange illusion—this felt exactly like what she’d been searching for all along. The two of them walked quietly, not saying a word, all the way down the long street.

Was this the person she’d been looking for?

Being with him, it felt like they would always have endless things to say and endless bickering to do, but the feeling was really something. It wasn’t exactly happiness, but it definitely wasn’t anger either.

Before long, the two of them came to a hotel.

Chen Tianlong’s finances were in decent shape now. Since he was out, his lodging couldn’t be too shabby. So he picked a five-star hotel, planning to stay there for the night.

"You two, how many rooms would you like?" the receptionist asked respectfully.

"Two."

"One."

"So how many is it exactly?" The receptionist gave a wry smile and confirmed again. She could tell the two were a couple who were just having a spat.

"One."

"Two."

"..." The pretty receptionist was speechless. At first the man wanted two rooms and the woman wanted one; then they switched.

Chen Tianlong’s thought was that they were essentially strangers. Even if they’d joked about being a couple earlier, they couldn’t really share a room. As for Tan Xianglan, she just felt the hotel was so expensive. Her family might not lack money, but her thrifty nature made her want to save a bit.

After all, a room that fancy was bound to have a sofa. It was only for a few hours; why book two rooms?

But when she heard that Chen Tianlong didn’t want to share a room with her, she changed her mind again. And Chen Tianlong figured that if the beauty didn’t mind, what was he making a fuss about?

After two rounds of back-and-forth, the receptionist simply booked them a single room. After all, everyone likes to see lovers end up together. Maybe this one room would help a pair of lovebirds make up for good.

"Alright, I’ve booked one room for the two of you. If you have any objections, you can bring them up." The receptionist had good manners; even after making the call herself, she spoke calmly.

"I’ve got no objections."

Chen Tianlong shrugged carelessly. "I’m just afraid this fickle young lady will change her mind. Ask her."

"Hmph, I don’t have any objections either. Who changed their mind? You’re the one who doesn’t want me. When did I ever say I wouldn’t be your girlfriend?" Tan Xianglan glared at Chen Tianlong, cheeks puffed in anger.

"Ahem... you two, I basically get the picture now. One room it is." This time it was their lobby manager speaking, someone whose words carried a bit more weight.

"Okay."

Tan Xianglan took the receipt, signed, paid, then grabbed the keycard and headed upstairs. Chen Tianlong grinned. As expected of a young lady—young ladies everywhere were all the same, fiery-tempered and impossible to deal with.
