My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1317: Rapid Descent

Following Tan Xianglan’s guidance, Chen Tianlong reached to the left, only to find yet another soft, warm area. He couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

"Ah, Chen Tianlong, I meant my left, not your left." Tan Xianglan felt a tingle in her heart as Chen Tianlong touched her twice, and despite the weightless state, that feeling didn’t diminish in the slightest—it felt like an electric shock.

For a young girl who had never experienced such a feeling, it was strangely alluring to her.

With Chen Tianlong’s thick skin, after two mistaken touches, even he blushed halfway and quickly reached in another direction. This time, he finally found something hard—clearly the dagger.

He carefully took it out, afraid of hurting Tan Xianglan, then placed it in his mouth, biting down on the sheath. With his right hand, he pulled the knife out, after all, his left hand was holding Tan Xianglan.

"Alright, Xianglan, hold tight. In a moment, I’ll use this knife to scrape against the cave wall. It might shake a bit, and some debris may fall, so keep your eyes closed and stay in my arms."

Chen Tianlong urged, "Also, Swift Phoenix, you should hide in my arms too."

"Gurgle..."

Swift Phoenix nodded knowingly. Without wasting time, Chen Tianlong reached towards the cave wall, thrusting upward suddenly, producing a clattering sound.

It turned out the cave wall was rock; they had reached the rock layer.

Chen Tianlong was quite surprised; how deep could this place be to keep falling for so long without reaching the bottom? Wouldn’t they end up falling to the center of the earth?

Were the two of them really going on a journey to the Earth’s core?

The dagger scraped against the rock wall, sparking brightly, providing them with a slight glimpse of light. However, for Chen Tianlong, it made no difference. After all, he could close his eyes and use his cultivation technique, seeing clearer than during the daylight.

Under the influence of Powerful Qi, Chen Tianlong’s hand became incredibly hard, slowly reducing their falling speed. But after about thirty seconds, he suddenly felt his palm grow very hot. He quickly glanced over and was instantly shocked.

The dagger had been ground down to just the handle, yet their speed hadn’t decreased much.

Just then, a light appeared below. They could vaguely see light ahead, suggesting the cave floor was near.

"Xianglan, get ready. We’re almost there. Use Powerful Qi to protect yourself and hold on to me as tightly as possible."

Chen Tianlong had to emphasize again because he was about to use a Powerful Qi Bomb, and knowing its power, if Tan Xianglan didn’t hold on tight, she might slip out and fall.

Not only would the impact be severe, but she might also get hurt by the shockwave from the Powerful Qi Bomb. If anything happened to Tan Xianglan, it would be disastrous.

"Got it, I’m holding tight now." Tan Xianglan replied, applying a bit more force. The two were almost stuck to each other now, and Chen Tianlong could feel a softness against Xianglan’s chest.

Originally, it wasn’t that noticeable, but since her clothes had been torn earlier by Swift Phoenix outside, even the inner clothing was likely torn. Now, it was rubbing against Chen Tianlong.

Nonetheless, in such a thrilling situation, neither had the mind to think about that. Even if Tan Xianglan were bare, there’d be no time to think about it.

Closer, closer still.

Suddenly, a light shone in their eyes. Though keeping his eyes closed, Chen Tianlong had already seen the cave floor, which was a pool of water—perfect.

Seizing the moment, Chen Tianlong switched to holding Tan Xianglan with his right hand, then with his left hand, where a Powerful Qi Bomb had long been ready, he pushed it out.

A fist-sized Powerful Qi Bomb rapidly flew downward. At the same time, due to the reaction force, Chen Tianlong’s body began to slow down rapidly, and after three seconds, it nearly came to a stop.

Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, hearing a rumbling sound below as water splashed, nearly reaching them.

"Xianglan, use your Powerful Qi to protect yourself, quickly," Chen Tianlong urged.

After all, they were slowly descending, and there was still some distance left, resuming acceleration.

They quickly enveloped themselves in a Powerful Qi shield, and in this small range here, Swift Phoenix couldn’t help much, otherwise, it could have helped catch them.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, but it wasn’t an explosion—it was the sound of them hitting the water. Even with their Powerful Qi shields, they felt a jolt, sharp pain, and nearly broke their backs.

The pond wasn’t very deep, about three or four meters. They hit the bottom, but the force wasn’t strong enough to cause danger. Chen Tianlong wasn’t sure if Tan Xianglan could swim, so he held her in his arms and swam to shore.

"Cough, cough..." Indeed, Tan Xianglan couldn’t swim, and after just a few moments, she had swallowed several mouthfuls of water. Now above water, she kept coughing.

Chen Tianlong patted her back repeatedly and asked with concern, "Xianglan, are you alright?"

"Hoo... I’m fine now, but I almost suffocated." Tan Xianglan panted deeply, still feeling rattled.

"Haha, that’s good."

Seeing Tan Xianglan’s adorable appearance, Chen Tianlong thought she looked nothing like her previously fierce self, always ready to hit someone. It just shows that women who seem fierce on the outside may not be once you get to know them well.

The two climbed ashore, but now, both of them were soaking wet, clearly unfit to continue walking. Chen Tianlong, unbothered, took off his shirt and wrung it out hard. After hanging it to dry, they needed to leave before nightfall, or they’d worry Zhang Li and Xu Ke outside.

Hence, they couldn’t waste much time. Tan Xianglan, drenched with a wet patch clinging to her chest, instinctively covered her chest with her hands.

Chen Tianlong glanced at her and let out a bitter laugh.

"Xianglan, how about this, why don’t you take off your clothes and hide behind the stone while I wring them out for you?"

Chen Tianlong suggested after thinking it over, given his considerable strength, a thorough wringing followed by a few shakes and a bit of breeze drying should make them wearable again. Though not perfectly comfortable, there’s no other choice in these circumstances.

"Take...take off all my clothes?" Xianglan replied, her face flushing red at these words.

"Yes, or how else can I wring them out?" Chen Tianlong replied, then turned back, noticing Xianglan’s flushed cheeks and quickly added, "Don’t worry, I’m a gentleman, I won’t peek."

"Hmph, who knows for sure? Men always say that, but what if you lose control?" Tan Xianglan, recalling many such scenarios seen on TV, began with no peeking, and later, they’d secretly peek.

"Uh, it’s fine, after all, you’re going to be my wife, right? If I lose control, we can get it over with." Chen Tianlong teased with a mischievous smile.

"See, there you go revealing your true nature. I’m not taking off my clothes," Xianglan retorted, folding her arms over her chest.

"Haha, alright, Xianglan, hurry up, or you’ll catch a cold later on," Chen Tianlong said, turning away so as not to tease her further.

"Oh, alright, but no peeking, okay, or else..."

"Or else what?"

"Or else, I’ll have my little chick~ peck you!"
